Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a document processing device for creating, editing, etc. a document.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in this type of document processing device, when a reading input in kana or romaji is instructed to be converted to kanji, the kanji corresponding to the reading is searched in a word storage device (hereinafter referred to as a dictionary), and a sentence containing kana and kanji is searched for. is converted to At this time, words that are not in the dictionary are registered as unregistered words in the auxiliary word storage device for each user (hereinafter referred to as the user dictionary), and while the document is being created, the kanji that are not in the dictionary are retrieved from the user dictionary and displayed. is widely used.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Although the method of using a user dictionary described above is very effective, it is necessary to enter all information such as pronunciation and notation every time an unregistered word is registered in the user dictionary, which may be a disadvantage in that it is not efficient when inputting characters. there were.

One solution to this problem is to automatically register a word in the user dictionary when a word that is not in the dictionary is encountered while inputting or editing a document.

However, when entering a word that is not in the dictionary, you often enter a different reading than the original reading, so if you do not remember the reading when you registered it, you will not be able to convert the same word next time. It was an inconvenience.

Furthermore, this method does not allow abbreviations to be registered, and also has the problem that all words, even those that are rarely used, are registered, which wastes memory.

In addition, Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 63-276663 states that the kana heading, kanji notation, and part-of-speech information of words created on the screen are stored in the word storage section, and when the user needs to update the word dictionary, A kana-kanji conversion method has been disclosed in which information such as kana headings is displayed in a list format on the screen so that the user can selectively register what he or she needs. This method has the advantage of making effective use of memory because you can select and register as many words as you need, but the problem is that you cannot change the pronunciation of a word back to its original pronunciation or register an abbreviation. Not resolved.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a document processing device that is capable of editing the pronunciation and notation of words after editing the document.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the document processing device according to the present invention includes an unregistered word storage means for temporarily storing unregistered words before storing them in the auxiliary word storage means, and an unregistered word storage means for temporarily storing unregistered words, and an unregistered word storage means for storing unregistered words in an auxiliary word storage means. After that, an unregistered word registration means stores the unregistered words whose notation has been confirmed in an unregistered word storage means, and after the editing of the document is completed, all unregistered words stored in the unregistered word storage means are displayed on a display means. unregistered word display means for displaying;
an editing means for editing information such as pronunciation, spelling, or part of speech of the unregistered word displayed on the display means based on instructions from the user; and word registration means for registering the specified word in the auxiliary word storage means.

[Effect]

According to the above configuration, when a word that is not registered in the dictionary is input, that word is temporarily stored in the unregistered word storage section, and during editing, it is used for searching and conversion in the same way as a user dictionary. be able to. After editing the document, all words stored in the unregistered word storage section are displayed, and only words that need to be registered in the user dictionary are selected. At this time, information such as pronunciation, notation, and part of speech can be edited by the user, so it is possible to register an abbreviation or change the notation by changing the pronunciation.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the document processing device according to the present invention will be described below.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the overall configuration of a document processing device according to the present invention.

This document processing device includes an input device 1, an input control section 2, a character string buffer 3, a conversion control section 4, a conversion processing section 5, an unregistered word storage section 6, a word storage device (dictionary) 7, an auxiliary word storage device ( (user dictionary) 8, a display control section 9, and a display device 10.

The input device 1 is an input means for inputting character information, and includes character keys such as hiragana, alphabetic characters, and numbers, and function keys such as a kanji conversion key.

The input control unit 2 converts data and commands input from the input device W1 into predetermined codes and stores them in the character string buffer 3, and determines the type of input data and commands.
Processing to send to conversion control s4 is performed.

The conversion control unit 4 performs a process of controlling the reception and passing of data such as character strings, and an unregistered word registration process of storing an unregistered word whose notation has been determined according to a user's instruction in an unregistered word storage unit 6. When the words selected by the user are collectively registered in the auxiliary word storage device 8, the contents of the unregistered word storage section 6 are cleared, and after the editing is completed, the unregistered words stored in the post-unregistration storage section 6 are cleared. A process of displaying all registered words on the display device 10 and an editing process of editing information such as pronunciations, spellings, parts of speech, etc. of unregistered words displayed on the display device 10 according to user instructions.

The conversion processing unit 5 searches each storage device, extracts data, and performs kana-kanji conversion, and stores words selected by the user among unregistered words stored in the unregistered word storage unit 6 as auxiliary words. A word registration process is performed to register the word in the bag W8.

The conversion control unit 4 and the conversion processing unit 5 are composed of peripheral circuits based on a CPU (central processing unit), and execute the various data processing described above according to control programs stored in a memory device (not shown). do.

The unregistered word storage unit 6 consists of a storage device such as a RAM,
It functions as an unregistered word storage means for temporarily storing unregistered words.

The dictionary storage device (dictionary) 7 is comprised of a storage device such as a ROM, and stores a Japanese dictionary for kana-kanji conversion, which is referred to when converting input readings into kanji.

The auxiliary word storage device (user dictionary) 8 is comprised of a storage device such as a RAM, and registers unregistered words specified by the user. Words registered in this auxiliary word storage device 8 can be registered or deleted by the user.

The display device 10 is a display means for displaying data such as unregistered words stored in the unregistered word storage unit 6, the results of kana-kanji conversion, input reading information, and various messages. is input via the display control section 9.

In FIG. 1, when a character string is input from an input device 1, the character string is transferred to a character string buffer 3 via an input control unit 2.
sent to. When a conversion request is received from the user, the conversion control unit 4 extracts a character string from the character string buffer 3 and sends it to the conversion processing unit 5. The conversion processing section 5 searches the word storage device 7, the auxiliary word storage device 8, and the unregistered word storage section 6, and if there is a spelling corresponding to the input pronunciation, sends that information to the conversion control section 4. The conversion control section 4 sends the information to the display control section 9 and causes the display device 10 to display the conversion result.

By repeating the above process in response to conversion requests from the user, kana-kanji conversion is realized. Further, after a character string is input, it is edited and corrected by the user, and when the notation of an unregistered word is determined, the conversion control unit 4 stores the unregistered word in the unregistered word storage unit 6. When the editing of the document is completed, the conversion control section 4 displays all the unregistered words registered in the unregistered word storage section 6. The user selects the display device 10
The user selects a word to be stored in the auxiliary word storage device 8 from among the unregistered words displayed on the screen, and if there is a word whose reading or notation is to be edited, the user edits the word.

When instructed to finish editing, the conversion processing section 5 stores all words selected by the user in the auxiliary word storage device 8.

Then, the conversion control section 4 clears all the contents of the unregistered word storage section 6.

Next, the processing procedure for performing kana-kanji conversion and word registration in the above-mentioned document processing apparatus will be explained based on the flowchart of FIG.

First, the input control unit 2 receives a code input from the input device W1, and determines whether it is a character code (step 101). Here, if the input information is a character code, the character string is sent to the display control section 9 via the conversion control section 4, and the character string is stored in the character string buffer 3 (step 102). The display control unit 9 displays the sent character string on the display device 10 (step 103).
). If the code input in step 101 is not a character code, it is determined whether it is a conversion request command (step 104). Here, when the code is a conversion request command, the command is sent to the conversion control unit 4.
(Step 105).

The conversion control unit 4 determines whether the conversion request is for primary conversion or reconversion (step 106). When the conversion request is a -next conversion, the character string is taken out from the character string buffer 3 and sent to the conversion processing section 5 (Step 107) In the conversion processing section 5, the word storage device W7, the auxiliary word storage device 8 and word storage section 6
It performs kana-kanji conversion while searching for , and sends the conversion result to the display control section 9 (step 108). The display control section 9 is
The sent conversion results are displayed on the display device 1o (step 109). Further, when the conversion request is for re-conversion in step 106, the character string is taken out from the character string buffer 3 and sent to the conversion processing unit 5 (step 110). The conversion processing unit 5 performs kana-kanji conversion while searching the word storage device 7, auxiliary word storage device 8, and unregistered word storage device 6,
The conversion result is sent to the display control section 9 (step 111).The display control section 9 sends the sent conversion result to the display device 10.
(step 112). The conversion control unit 4 receives a request for the next candidate from the user, but does not know what to do (step 113), and repeats this process until the notation is finalized (step 114). Next, when the notation is finalized, it is compared with the conversion result from the -order conversion to determine whether the reading or clause break has been changed (step 115).
). If the pronunciation or bunsetsu break has been changed, the reading before reconversion and the notation after reconversion are registered in the unregistered memory section 6, and the conversion result is sent to the display control section 9 (step 116).
). The display control unit 9 displays the sent conversion result on the display device 10 (step 1o9).

Note that the words registered in step 106 can be referred to during editing in the same way as the user dictionary, so there will be no erroneous conversion, and furthermore, the trouble of registering the words in the user dictionary can be saved. .

Now, in step 104, if the input code is not a conversion request command, the type of the command is determined (step 117). Here, if the command is an editing end command, the command is sent to the conversion control section 4 (step 118). The conversion control unit 4 displays all the words registered in the unregistered word storage unit 6 during editing (step 119), and determines whether a word to be registered in the auxiliary word storage unit 8 (user dictionary) has been selected. do(
Step 120). Here, when a word to be registered in the auxiliary word storage device 8 is selected, it is determined whether a registered word to be further edited has been specified (step 121); Information such as the pronunciation, spelling, part of speech, etc. of the registered word is edited according to the user's instructions (step 122). When the editing of the registered words is completed (step 123), the words selected in step 120 are stored in the auxiliary word storage device 8 (user dictionary).
(Step 124), and clear the contents of the user dictionary (Step 125). Further, in step 117, if the type of command is another command, processing according to that command is performed (step 126).
).

Next, a specific example of document editing based on the above-described processing will be explained with reference to FIGS. 3 to 7.

FIG. 3 shows the document processing screen before kana-kanji conversion. When this document is linearly converted, it becomes as shown in Fig. 4. Fourth
In the screen shown in the figure, there are incorrect translations of proper nouns, etc., and this has been re-converted and corrected, as shown in Fig. 5. As a way to correct misconversions, ■ "Seal" should be changed to "Matsuyo "in".
``Sho ga loss'' is converted into a single kanji by re-entering different readings, such as ``ma,''``shita,'' and ``mura.''

■How to modify by changing the pronunciation at phrase breaks, such as in ``Kogorou'' and ``Cavalry.''

■How to modify by simply selecting the homophone, such as ``Judge'' or ``New Work.''

and so on. Of these, if you make the correction using method ■,
The learning function makes it possible to obtain the desired notation by first-order conversion from the next time onwards, so there is no need to register it in a user dictionary or the like. Therefore, when corrections are made using the other two methods, the reading before reconversion (original reading) and the notation after reconversion (original notation) are automatically registered in the unregistered word storage unit 6.

Since the unregistered word storage section 6 is treated in the same manner as a user dictionary, the same erroneous conversion will not be repeated during document editing, and the trouble of registering words in the user dictionary can be saved.

In addition, since the original pronunciation and spelling of the word is registered in the unregistered word storage unit 6, there is no need to correct the pronunciation or spelling, except when changing the spelling or registering an abbreviation. .

After editing is completed, all words automatically registered in the unregistered word storage section 6 are displayed on the user dictionary registration sheet. FIG. 6 shows an example of a user dictionary registration sheet. Users can select as many items as they need from among them and register them all in the user dictionary, but at this time they can also edit information such as pronunciation, spelling, and part of speech. FIG. 7 shows an example of editing the user dictionary registration sheet of FIG. 6. In Figure 7, "Matsuin", "Matsushita Village", "Kitaihei"
This shows the state when the three items are registered. First, for ``Matsuin,'' the part of speech field has been changed from ``noun'' to ``person's name.'' ``Matsushita Village'' is registered as ``Shōkasonshiyuku,'' and the name is ``Matsushita Village Juku'' according to that reading.

The part of speech has also been changed to "proper noun". here,"
If the pronunciation of ``Matsushitasonjuku'' is registered as ``Shoka'', it can be converted to ``Matsushitasonjuku'' by inputting ``Shoka'' by registering an abbreviation. ``Kiheitai'' is registered with the part of speech changed to ``proper noun''.

In general, the words that are registered in the user dictionary are often not found in the dictionary, so the readings in particular are often entered with a different reading than the original reading. In such a case, even if it is automatically registered in the user dictionary, if you forget the pronunciation, you will not be able to utilize it effectively.However, in the document processing device according to this invention, the user Since the original reading input is registered, there is no need to change the input reading to the original reading by single kanji conversion. Moreover,
When the user finishes editing the document, the user can select the word to be registered in the user dictionary and edit it as necessary, so it is also possible to change the notation or change the reading to a shorter reading and register an abbreviation. . Therefore, it is possible to create a user dictionary that is highly flexible and easy to use, and it is also possible to prevent wasting memory by registering useless words.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, in the document processing device according to the present invention, unregistered words are temporarily stored in the unregistered word storage unit, and after document editing, all unregistered words stored in the unregistered word storage unit are Since it is possible to display and edit information such as pronunciation, notation, and part of speech, it is possible to change the notation of an input word, or change the pronunciation and register an abbreviation. Therefore, it is possible to provide a document processing device with improved efficiency during character input.
