JPH04169256A - Device for making braill document - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To make a brailled document, being free from typing mistakes, without depending on manual work by inputting a previously made word processor sentence data by a method wherein the device is provided with an input section, a Chinese character-Kana/alphanumeral converting file, a Kana/alphanumeral- braille converting film a kana/alphanumeral judging means, a Chinese character- Kana/alphanumeral converting means, a kana/alphanumeral-braille converting means, and an output section. CONSTITUTION:Characters of word processor sentence data inputted from an input section 1 are judged by a judged means 3 whether each of them is a 'Kana' (the Japanese cyllabary) or alphanumeral. when a character is judged to be other than the Kana/alphanumerals, the character other than the Kana/ alphanumerals is converted into a Kana alphanumeral by a Chinese character- Kana/alphanumeral converting means 4 with reference to a Chinese character- Kana/alphanumeral converting file 6. Then the Kana/alphanumeral are converted into braille printing control codes by a Kana/alphanumeral-braille converting mans 5 with reference to a Kana/alphanumeral-braille converting file 7. The converted braile printing control codes are then transmitted to a braille printer 9.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a Braille document creation device that creates Braille text.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, writing in Braille has been done manually, and more specifically, it has been common to use a typewriter and type one character at a time on a keyboard.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The above-mentioned conventional Braille document creation device has the disadvantage that the quality of the Braille text that is produced varies depending on the skill level of the person creating it, such as typos.

In addition, if multiple copies are required, there is no way to copy Braille, so the documents must be created repeatedly by hand.Similarly, in the case of standard documents that only require partial revision of the text, all the text must be manually created. There are drawbacks that must be created.

[Means to solve the problem]

The Braille document creation device of the present invention includes an input unit for inputting word processing text data, a Kanji-kana Φ alphanumeric conversion file storing Kanji codes and kana/alphanumeric codes, and a kana/alphanumeric code and Braille characters. a kana/alphanumeric-Braille conversion file containing a printer control hood, and each character of the word processing text data from the input section,
A kana/alphanumeric character discrimination means for determining whether a kana/kanji is other than the above, and a kanji/kanji character for converting characters other than kana/alphanumeric characters into kana/alphanumeric characters by referring to the kanji/kana-kai alphanumeric conversion file.
A kana/alphanumeric conversion means converts the kana fist alphanumeric characters into the kana φ
The present invention is characterized by comprising: a kana 0 alphanumeric character-to-braille conversion means that refers to an alphanumeric character-braille conversion file and converts it into a braille printer control code; and an output unit that delivers the braille printer control code to the braille printer.

〔Example〕

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

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention.
3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the braille document creation device shown in the figure.

This braille document creation device includes an input section 1, a control section 2, a kana script alphanumeric character discriminating means 3 for determining whether each character of word processing text data from the input section 1 is a kana character or an alphanumeric character, and a character other than a kana character or an alphanumeric character. Kanji-kana/alphanumeric conversion means 4 for converting characters into kana/alphanumeric characters, kana/alphanumeric/braille conversion means 5 for converting kana/alphanumeric characters into Braille printer control codes, and kanji-
It includes a kana/alphanumeric character conversion file 6, a kana/alphanumeric character/Braille conversion file 7, and an output unit 8 for passing the Braille printer control code to the Braille printer 9.

◆ The Kanji-kana/alphanumeric conversion file 6 contains Kanji codes and their pronunciation kana/alphanumeric codes.
The kanji code of a word and the kana/alphanumeric code of its pronunciation are stored as a le code, and when converting characters other than kana/alphanumeric characters into kana/alphanumeric characters with the kanji-kana/alphanumeric conversion means 4, Read the record of the Kanji-kana/alphanumeric conversion file 6 that has a Kanji code equal to the code of the character to be converted. The kana reading of that record! The alphanumeric code becomes the converted kana/alphanumeric code. Similarly, the kana/alphanumeric/Braille conversion file 7 stores kana/alphanumeric codes and respective Braille printer control codes as kana/alphanumeric/Braille printer control codes. When converting to Braille printer control code,
Kana with a kana cost alphanumeric code equal to the kana alphanumeric code being converted. Read records of alphanumeric-braille conversion file 7. The Braille printer control code of that record becomes the Braille printer control code after conversion.

Next, the operation of the Braille document creation apparatus shown in FIG. 1 will be explained with reference to FIG.

Each character of the word processing text data from input section 1 is converted into kana,
The alphanumeric character determining means 3 determines whether the character is a kana or alphanumeric character (step 101), and if it is a kana or alphanumeric character, the process moves to step 103, which will be described later.

If it is other than kana/alphanumeric characters, the kanji/kana/alphanumeric conversion means 4 refers to the kanji/kana/alphanumeric conversion file 6,
Characters other than kana/alphanumeric characters are converted into kana/alphanumeric characters (step 102), and then kana/alphanumeric/braille conversion means 5
Then, referring to the kana/alphanumeric-braille conversion file 7, the kana/alphanumeric characters are converted into braille printer control codes (step 103). The converted braille printer control hood is delivered to the braille printer 9 (step 104).

[Effects of the invention] As explained above, in the present invention, Braille is not created manually, but by inputting pre-created word processor text data, there are no typographical errors by the creator, and quality can be guaranteed. be effective.

In addition, the present invention allows multiple copies to be easily created through repeated processing, and even for documents such as standard documents where parts of the text are frequently revised, the present invention can be easily created by partially correcting the word processor text data. It has an effect that can be created.
