Abstract

PURPOSE:To designate and select the candidate for word and phrase, to be paraphrased by performing the output of the word and phrase to be paraphrased such as synonym and antonym and the output of its usage by means of HIRAGANA(cursive form of Japanese syllabary) input. CONSTITUTION:When the character string of the identical description is retrieved, the candidate for the word and phrase to be paraphrased of the character string of the identical description and the information on its usage is read out of a dictionary 6 for paraphrasing to store in a description information buffer 5. A description information display means 3 reads the candidate for words and phrases of KANA/KANJI conversion object and its usage out of the description information buffer 5 to display when a paraphrased word conversion key for outputting the candidate for the paraphrased word and phrase is depressed. Further, in a paraphrased word and phrase selection means 4, an operator designates and selects the candidate of the paraphrased of word and phrase of the KANA/KANJI conversion object word and phrase displayed by a description information display means 3. Thus, the KANA/KANJI conversion supporting the description of the expression intended by the operator can be realized.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to Japanese kana-kanji conversion, and particularly to a paraphrase conversion method.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, Japanese kana-kanji conversion methods output homophones and doushi1 (words) of the input kana character string as candidates.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The conventional Japanese kana-kanji conversion method described above outputs homophones and homophones of the input hiragana character string as candidates, so
The drawback is that it can only convert homonyms.

[Means to solve the problem]

The paraphrase conversion method of the present invention is a Japanese kana-kanji conversion method that includes a notation information buffer, a means for storing undefined character strings in the information buffer, and paraphrase phrases such as synonyms and antonyms and their usage examples. a paraphrase dictionary, means for referring to the paraphrase dictionary and storing paraphrases of the undefined character string and their usage examples in the notation information buffer, and means for displaying the contents of the notation information buffer; and means for specifying and selecting candidates for paraphrases of words to be converted into kana-kanji.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, the paraphrase conversion method includes a character string storage means 1, a notation information buffer storage means 2, a notation information display means 3, a paraphrase selection means 4, a notation information buffer 5, and a paraphrase dictionary 6.
It consists of

In the Japanese kana-kanji conversion method, the character string storage means 1 stores undefined character strings in the notation information buffer 5.

The notation information buffer storage means 2 retrieves paraphrase phrases such as synonyms and antonyms and their usage example information from the paraphrase dictionary 6 (stored in the notation information buffer 5 by the above-mentioned character string storage means 1) in an undetermined state. Search for a character string with the same notation as the character string of , and if a character string with the same notation is found, paraphrase candidates for this same notation and information on its usage are paraphrased g! It is read from the dictionary 6 and stored in the notation information buffer 5. Furthermore, if a character string with the same notation does not exist in the paraphrase dictionary 6, information that there is no candidate for a paraphrase phrase for this character string with the same notation is stored in the notation information buffer 5.

When a paraphrase conversion key for outputting a paraphrase candidate is pressed, the notation information display means 3 reads candidates for a kana-kanji conversion target word and their usage examples from the notation information buffer 5 and displays them. Is there no candidate for a paraphrase? Information indicating that there is no candidate for a paraphrase is displayed for the word to be converted into kanji.

Note that until all unconfirmed character strings are finalized, information on paraphrase candidates and their usage examples will be stored in the notation information buffer 5.
Also, if the word to be converted to kana-kanji is not the word intended by the operator, and the operator presses the conversion key and other homophone/dokunwa candidates are output, the kana-kanji conversion before pressing the conversion key Candidates for paraphrases of the target word and their usage examples are deleted from the notation information buffer 5, and after pressing the conversion key, the word to be converted to kana-kanji is searched from the paraphrase dictionary 6, and the word to be converted to konogana-kanji is paraphrased. Word candidates and their usage examples are stored in the notation information buffer 5.

In the paraphrased phrase selection means 4, the operator specifies and selects candidates for paraphrased words of the kana-kanji conversion target phrase displayed on the notation information display means 3.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention not only outputs candidates for homophones and synchronic words of a hiragana character string input during Japanese kana-kanji conversion, but also outputs candidates for synonyms and antonyms of the input hiragana character string and their usage examples. By performing the output, it is possible to realize kana-kanji conversion that supports the notation of the expression intended by the operator.
