[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a document creation device, and more particularly to a document creation device equipped with a key input practice function.

[Conventional technology]

The recent popularity of Japanese document creation devices (so-called word processors) is remarkable.

In order to improve the key input speed of this word processor, the user needs to memorize the key layout, and for this purpose, a word processor with a key input practice function was proposed (
For example, see Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 59-4331), and are being applied to products.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, with conventional word processors equipped with practice functions,
A dictionary was prepared that stored practice questions prepared in advance, and the questions were read out from the dictionary and asked.

For this reason, not only does it take a lot of man-hours to create practice questions, but also the storage capacity of the memory is used to store the dictionary for practice questions, or a dedicated storage medium (such as a floppy disk) is required.

Furthermore, in order to speed up key input when actually creating a document, it is important to memorize the flow of fingers for frequently occurring key input combinations. Especially for English type, T
The same characters, such as HE, THERE, THEN, etc., occur very often. Also, when inputting Japanese, for example, in the on-yomi reading of kanji, the pronunciations with ``n'' appear quite frequently, such as ``kan'' and ``hanj'', and the pronunciation of kanji with ``n'' appears quite frequently after the characters in the row. ” appears frequently.

Improving the input speed in such a frequently occurring key input order will greatly contribute to improving the input speed when actually creating a document.

The present invention was developed in view of these problems, and it eliminates the need for a dictionary for storing practice questions, and allows questions to include all the words used in actual document creation. It is an object of the present invention to provide a word processor equipped with a key input practice function capable of improving the input speed in the order of key inputs that occur frequently during creation.

[Means to solve problems]

In order to solve the above problems, the document creation device equipped with a key input practice function according to the present invention shown in FIG. In preparation, the practice function control unit 3 displays the pronunciation of the word on the display device 2, compares the character string input from the key input device 1 with the kana pronunciation of the word, and displays the comparison result as described above. A document processing device configured to display information on a display device 2, comprising a word dictionary 4 storing information on pronunciations of words, and a random number generator 5 generating uniform random numbers, and having the practice function described above. The control unit 3 generates a random number from the random number generation unit 5, creates a read address of the word dictionary 4 based on the random number, and reads the pronunciation of the word stored at the address from the word dictionary 4. It is characterized in that it is read out and displayed on the display device 2.

[For production]

The present invention utilizes a word dictionary used for kana-kanji conversion etc. in a document creation device, generates words from the word dictionary and uses them as practice problems, and thereby enables key input of words actually used in document creation. This makes it possible to practice and eliminates the need for a dictionary to store practice questions.

For this reason, as shown in the principle block diagram of FIG. 1, a random number generator 5 is provided to generate a new uniform random number, and the practice function control unit 3 determines the read address of the word dictionary 4 based on the random number. generate. This is because the number of letters in a word is not constant.
Since the address where the first character of a word (character string) is stored is undefined, the first character code of the word is stored in order to extract a word that includes the character at the address indicated by the random number. It recognizes the address where the word is located and the address where the character code at the end of the word is stored, and sequentially reads out the character codes stored between the two addresses from the word dictionary 4 to generate words to be used in practice questions. .

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the main part configuration of an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an outline of a word dictionary of a document creation device. This is a Japanese document processing device (word processor) that creates a document by executing kana-kanji conversion based on characters input from an input device and displaying a sentence mixed with kana and kanji on a display device.

First, the configuration of this embodiment will be explained with reference to FIG.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a key input device, which generates character codes or control information corresponding to key presses.

2 is a display device such as a CRT display.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a practice function control section which is a main part of the present invention.

Reference numeral 31 denotes a search unit, which generates a read address for the word dictionary 4, which will be described later.

32 is a determination unit that compares the character code read from the word dictionary 4 with a predetermined code (such as a code indicating the end of a word) and notifies the search unit 31 of the comparison result.

Reference numeral 33 denotes a start address register, and numeral 34 an end address register, each of which stores the first and last addresses at which the character strings of the pronunciations of words to be used as practice questions are stored, respectively, through a search process to be described later.

Reference numeral 35 denotes a practice problem determination unit, which compares the words of the created practice problem and the input from the key input device 1, and determines the comparison result,
That is, information on whether the key input is correct or incorrect is displayed on the display device 2.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a word dictionary, which is used for converting kana to kanji during normal document creation.

The specific configuration will be explained later using FIG. 3.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a random number generation section, which generates uniform random numbers based on instructions from the practice function control section 3.

Note that in this embodiment, as described above, kana characters inputted from the key input device 1 are converted into kana-kanji by searching the word dictionary 4, and a document is created while displaying the generated sentence mixed with kana-kanji on the display device 2. However, in FIG. 2, the configuration for executing processing not directly related to the practice function of the present invention, such as ephemeral kanji conversion processing, is omitted for simplicity.

Next, the outline of the word dictionary 4 will be explained using FIG. 3.

This word dictionary 4 stores information on the pronunciation of words and information on words in kana-kanji mixed sentences that are the conversion results.

Each character shown is actually stored as a character code, and one character code is stored per address.

In the figure, the part indicated by a comma (1) stores information (code) delimiting the pronunciation of the word and the conversion result.

Also, if there are multiple conversion results for one reading,
', that is, there are cases where the word has a homophone meaning, so delimiter information regarding this is also stored. In the figure, the midpoint (・
).

Further, a period (.) represents information indicating the end of a word in the conversion result.

In reality, each word stores, in addition to the information shown, grammatical information used for kana-kanji conversion, but this information is omitted.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained with reference to FIG.

■ The practice problem control unit 3 receives input from the key input device 1.
When activated, the random number generator 5 is activated to generate random numbers. The range of random numbers generated depends on the address where the word information in the word dictionary 4 is stored, for example, 1 of the word dictionary 4.
If word information is stored between addresses 00000 and 299999, it will be stored between 100000 and 29999.
Uniform random numbers up to 99 are generated.

(2) The search unit 31 reads the random number generated by the random number generator 5, and reads out the word dictionary 4 using this random number as a read address.

■ The character code read from the word dictionary 4 is sent to the determination unit 32.
It is determined whether the character code is a code indicating the end of a word (corresponding to a period in FIG. 3).

(2) If the code is not a code indicating the end of a word, the search unit 31 is notified of this.

■ In response to this, the search unit 31 decrements the value of the previously searched address by one, reads out the character code of the previous address from the word dictionary 4, and as shown in (■), this character code indicates the word. The determining unit 32 determines whether or not it is the end.

The processes from ■ to ■ are repeated until the determination unit 32 finds the code at the end of the word.

■ When the determination unit 32 finds the code at the end of the word,
This is notified to the search unit 31, and the address information used when searching for the code is incremented by one and stored in the start address register 33.

This is because the code for the end of the word found means the end of the previous word, so the pronunciation of the word to be read from the next address is stored.

■ The search unit reads out the word dictionary 4 using the start address stored in the start address register 33, and the character code is determined by the determination unit 32 as the code for the end of the pronunciation of the word (corresponding to the comma in FIG. 3). ).

(2) If the code does not indicate the end of the pronunciation of the word, the search unit 31 is notified of this fact.

■ The search unit 31 increments the read address by one and reads out the character code, and as shown by ■, the determination unit 3
Step 2 determines whether the code is the end code of a word. The processes from (1) to (2) are repeated until the determination unit 31 finds the code at the end of the reading of the word.

[Phase] When the determination unit 32 finds the code at the end of the pronunciation of a word, the search unit 31 sets the end address register 34 to a number that is decremented by one from the address information from which the code was read.

- The search unit 31 sequentially increments the address information from the address information stored in the start address register 33 to the end address register 34, generates a read address, and reads out the word dictionary 4. The character string with the reading is sent to the practice question determining unit 35, and the practice question determining unit 35 uses the reading as a practice question.

The practice question determining section 35 compares the pronunciation of this word with the character string sent from the key input device 1 to determine whether the key input is correct or incorrect. It should be noted that the process executed by this practice problem determining section 35 may be performed using a known technique, for example, the technique disclosed in the above-mentioned Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 59-4331, so a detailed explanation will be omitted.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, practice questions are first created using a word dictionary used for document creation, so there is no need to prepare a special dictionary to memorize practice questions. Contributes to cost reduction.

Furthermore, since words that are actually used can be used as key input practice questions, it is possible to practice key input in the order of key input that is frequently used when creating actual documents, and the document processing device This greatly contributes to the operator's proficiency.
