Abstract

PURPOSE:To accurately designate a part of speech even if one has no knowledge of grammar by displaying the inflection of a designated part of speech at the time of registering the part of speech. CONSTITUTION:When a character or a character string being the object of the registration of the part of speech is designated through a keyboard 11, the designated information is given to a registration control part 16 through an input control part 12. The registration control part 16 displays a menu screen for designating the part of speech in a display device 19 through a screen display part 18. A user views the menu screen while he inputs the reading and the part of speech of the character or the character string being the object of the registration of the part of speech. The registration control part 16 inquires the propriety of the way of the displayed inflection and registers the part of speech in a registration dictionary 15 in correspondence with the designated character of the character string. Thus, the part of speech can accurately be designated even if there is no knowledge of grammar.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a document creation device having a kana-kanji conversion function.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, a document creation device is equipped with a dictionary in which characters or character strings (generally called headings) corresponding to readings are registered, and when converting kana-kanji, this dictionary is referred to. The character or character string corresponding to the input reading information is output.

By the way, some document creation devices of this type have a function of registering parts of speech such as verbs and adjectives for characters or character strings to be registered in a dictionary.

This is especially used for parts of speech that have conjugated forms, and by specifying the part of speech of a certain registered character or character string, that registered character or character string can be changed to the uninflected form (~
This is a function that registers words in the dictionary in the form of conjugated forms such as (not), continuous form (~masu), etc.

However, conventionally, without knowledge of grammar, it was not possible to effectively utilize the part-of-speech registration function described above, and there was a possibility that the part-of-speech specification could be registered incorrectly.

If you register a part of speech by mistake, you will have to go through the trouble of deleting what you have registered and re-registering it each time.

Furthermore, since the kana-kanji conversion function does not work for mataha character strings that are not registered in the dictionary, the characters or character strings had to be constantly corrected into kanji. For this reason, there was a problem in that the kanji correction work was time-consuming and document creation efficiency was extremely poor.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As described above, in the past, without knowledge of grammar, it was not possible to accurately specify the part of speech, and the function of registering the part of speech could not be used effectively.

Furthermore, for characters or character strings that are not registered in the dictionary, it is necessary to constantly correct kanji for the characters or character strings, which poses a problem of lowering document creation efficiency.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a document creation device that can accurately specify the part of speech without any grammatical processing.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a document creation device that can automatically register characters or character strings that are not registered in a dictionary.

[Configuration of the Invention (Means for Solving the Problems) A document creation device according to the present invention includes a dictionary in which characters or character strings corresponding to pronunciations and parts of speech of these characters or character strings are registered. When the target character or string and the part of speech of that character or string are specified,
By displaying conjugation examples of the specified character or character string based on the conjugation information of the part of speech, the specified part of speech is registered in the dictionary in correspondence with the specified character or character string. The structure is as follows.

Further, the present invention includes a dictionary in which characters or character strings corresponding to readings are registered, and when a range to be corrected for kanji is specified, the readings of characters or character strings within the correction range are stored. Then, when a character or character string within the correction range is corrected in kanji, it is searched to see if the corrected kanji character or string has already been registered in the dictionary with the reading stored in the buffer. However, if it is unregistered,
The above-mentioned kanji corrected character or character string is registered in the above-mentioned dictionary with the reading stored in the above-mentioned buffer.

(Operation) According to the above configuration, when registering a part of speech, the conjugated form of the specified part of speech is displayed. Therefore, the part of speech can be specified accurately even without knowledge of grammar.

Furthermore, during kana-kanji conversion, if a character or character string that is not registered in the dictionary is corrected into kanji, that character or character string is automatically registered. Therefore, there is no need for kanji correction for that character or character string from now on.

(First Embodiment) A document creation device according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing its configuration. In FIG. 1, a keyboard 11 outputs human power information necessary for document creation etc. to an input control section 12. The input control unit 12 performs input control of various information input using the keyboard 11. The kana-kanji conversion control unit 13 performs kana-kanji conversion by referring to the standard dictionary 14 and the registered dictionary 15 in accordance with the kana-kanji conversion instruction. The standard dictionary 14 and the registered dictionary 15 each store a character or character string corresponding to a pronunciation, and a part of speech of this character or character string. In this case, the standard dictionary 14 stores information registered in advance at the time of manufacturing, etc., and the registration dictionary 15 stores information registered in the registration control unit 1.
Information registered by 6 is stored.

The registration control unit 16 refers to the conjugated form information storage unit 17, and
Controls the display of usage examples of specified characters or character strings, and controls the registration of parts of speech. In the conjugated form information storage unit 17,
Conjugation information for each part of speech (information indicating what kind of conjugation is used depending on the part of speech) is stored in advance. The screen display unit 18 controls the display of kana-kanji conversion results, usage examples, and the like. The display device 19 is comprised of, for example, a liquid crystal display device, and displays kana-kanji conversion results, usage examples, etc. under the control of the screen display section 1B.

Next, the operation of the first embodiment will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. Here, a description will be given of an operation for registering parts of speech in an apparatus having a function of registering parts of speech such as verbs and adjectives for characters or character strings to be registered in a dictionary.

First, a character or a character string to be registered as a part of speech is specified using the keyboard 11 (Ste Nobu AI). This designation information is given to the registration control section 16 through the input control section 12. Thereby, the registration control unit 16 displays a menu screen for specifying pronunciation and part of speech on the display device 9 through the screen display unit 18 (step A2
). While viewing this menu screen, the user manually inputs the pronunciation and part of speech for the character or character string to be registered as the part of speech (step A3).

Here, the registration control unit 1B determines whether the input part of speech is a part of speech that has an inflected form, such as a verb (step A4
). In the case of a part of speech that has an conjugated form, the registration control unit IB reads the conjugated form information of the part of speech from the conjugated form information storage unit 17 (step A5), and based on this conjugated form information, selects the character or characters to be registered as the part of speech. An example of how columns are used is displayed on the display device 19 (step A6). Then, the registration control unit 16 inquires as to whether the displayed usage is good or bad (step A7), and according to the registration instruction, the part of speech is changed to step A.
The character or character string specified in step 1 is registered in the registration dictionary 15 (step A8).

The above operation will be specifically explained.

1. By operating the "cursor" key, specify, for example, "butsuhi" as a target for part-of-speech registration (step Al).

2. A menu screen for specifying reading and part of speech is displayed (Step A2).

3. Input "Butto" as the pronunciation and "Bagyo Godan conjugated verb" as the part of speech (Step A3).

4. The conjugation information of "Bagyo Godan conjugated verb" in the conjugated form information storage section 17 is searched, and the conjugated form is displayed (steps A4 to A6). In this case, the conjugated form information storage unit 17 has the following information:
For example, the conjugation information for "Bagyo Godan conjugated verb" is "~banai"
, "~bimasu", "~butuki", etc. (where "~" indicates a registered character or character string). Therefore, in this example, the following conjugations are displayed:

Place: Utilization 5 -dan Verbable Village Flying Flying Flying Flying Flying Flying Flying Flying Flying Flying 5. If this is a good use, instruct the registration as it is (step A7).

6. As a result, the part of speech "Bagyo 5-dan conjugated verb" will be registered for "Butsuhi" (Step A8
).

In this way, when registering a part of speech, the conjugated form of the specified part of speech is displayed, so even if you have no knowledge of grammar, you can accurately specify the part of speech. In this case, if you make a mistake in specifying the part of speech, for example, ``Ma-line-lower-level verb'', the following strange conjugation example will be displayed, and you can tell by looking at the - eye that it is a mistake.

Part of speech: Ma line lower - stage verb Buttsu can't fly. For example, even if you make a mistake such as "flying",
You will see strange conjugations like the one below.
The specified range can be quickly corrected.

It should be noted that in the above embodiment, examples of conjugation of parts of speech with conjugated forms are displayed, such as conjugation. It is also possible to display some conversion examples even for parts of speech that have no form.

In addition, by displaying the part-of-speech specification screen (menu screen) and the conjugation example display screen in conjunction with each other, it is possible to specify the part of speech and judge at a glance how the part of speech is used. It is possible.

(Second Embodiment) Next, a document creation device according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing its configuration. In FIG. 3, a keyboard 21 outputs input information necessary for document creation etc. to an input control section 22. The input control unit 22 performs input control of various types of information input using the keyboard 21. The kana-kanji conversion control unit 23 refers to the standard dictionary 24 and the registered dictionary 25 according to the kana-kanji conversion instruction, and
Performs kana-kanji conversion. Standard dictionary 24 and registered dictionary 25
In this case, the standard dictionary 24 stores information registered in advance at the time of manufacturing, etc., and the registration dictionary 25 stores characters or character strings corresponding to the readings. Information registered by 26 is stored.

The registration control unit 26 performs registration control of characters or character strings whose kanji have been corrected. The buffer 27 stores readings when correcting kanji. The screen display unit 28 controls the display of the kana-kanji conversion results. The display device 29 is composed of, for example, a liquid crystal display device, and under the control of the screen display section 28,
Display the Kana-Kanji conversion results.

Next, the operation of the second embodiment will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. Here, an explanation will be given of an operation for automatically registering characters or character strings that are not registered in a dictionary in a device equipped with a kana-kanji conversion function.

First, after inputting reading information through the keyboard 21 (step B1), a specific key operation (operation of the "conversion" key)
This instructs kana-kanji conversion (step B2). This reading information and conversion instruction information are given to the kana-kanji conversion control section 23 through the input control section 12. As a result, the kana-kanji conversion control unit 23 refers to the standard dictionary 24 and the registered dictionary 25, extracts characters or character strings (headings) corresponding to the input reading information, and displays this as the kana-kanji conversion result on the screen display unit 28. It is displayed on the display device 29 (step B3).

Here, since the kana-kanji conversion function does not work for characters or character strings that are not registered in the standard dictionary 24 and the registered dictionary 25, the desired kana-kanji conversion result cannot be obtained. Therefore, the user must correct the characters or character strings displayed as a result of the kana-kanji conversion.

When kanji correction is required (step B4), first, the correction range is specified (step B5). The registration control unit 26 stores the readings of the characters or character strings within the specified correction range in the buffer 27 (step B6).

Next, after entering the reading of the character or character string to be corrected,
Kanji correction is performed by a predetermined key operation (operation of the "Kanji correction" key) (step B7).

The registration control unit 26 inputs the corrected kanji character or character string into the standard dictionary 24 with the reading stored in the buffer 27.
And a search is made to see if it has already been registered in the registration dictionary 25 (step B8). If it has already been registered, the registration control unit 26 registers the kanji-corrected character or character string in the registration dictionary 25 with the reading stored in the buffer 27 (step B9).

The above operation will be specifically explained.

1. As the reading information, input, for example, "Kandatsu Kougen ni." (Step Bl).

2. Instruct kana-kanji conversion by pressing the "conversion" key (step B2).

3. Kana-kanji conversion is executed, and the conversion result "I went to Bitatatsu Kogen." is displayed (step B3).

4. Instruct kanji correction by pressing the "Kanji correction" key (step B4).

5. By operating the "Cursor" key, select " as the correction range.
``Kitetsu'' is specified (Step B5).

6. "Kanda" is memorized as the pronunciation of "Kitatsu" (Step B6).

7. Here, after inputting "Kami Tatsu", operate the "Kanji correction" key to create the correct character string "Kandatsu" (Step B7).

8. It is searched to see if the character string "Kandatsu" is already registered in the dictionary as "Kantatsu" (Step B
8).

9. As a result, if it is not registered yet, "Kandatsu" will be registered in the dictionary with the reading "kanda" (step B9).

In this way, during kana-kanji conversion, if a character or character string that is not registered in the dictionary is corrected into kanji, that character or character string is automatically registered. Therefore, there is no need for kanji correction for that character or character string from now on, and document creation efficiency is greatly improved.

In the above embodiment, nouns were described as registration targets, but not only nouns but also other parts of speech such as adjectives and adjectives can be automatically registered by looking at information on the characters and particles before and after them. It is possible.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, when registering a part of speech, the conjugated form of the specified part of speech is displayed. Therefore, the part of speech can be specified accurately even without knowledge of grammar. This results in
It is possible to prevent mistakes in specifying parts of speech, and it is possible to save the trouble of redoing the registration process.

Furthermore, during kana-kanji conversion, if a character or character string that is not registered in the dictionary is corrected into kanji, that character or character string is automatically registered. Therefore, there is no need for kanji correction for that character or character string from now on. This eliminates the troublesome work of constantly correcting kanji characters, improves conversion efficiency, and greatly improves document creation efficiency.
