Abstract

PURPOSE:To display an unknown meaning like a meaning found in a Japanese language dictionary as to a character string among character string candidates for conversion outputted at the time of KANA (Japanese syllabary)-KANJI (Chinese character) conversion by adding a Japanese-language dictionary retrieving function in addition to a KANA-KANJI converting function. CONSTITUTION:When the KANA-KANJI conversion is started, character string candidates for conversion are displayed on a display 7. It is checked whether or not an input from a keyboard 1 is a Japanese-language dictionary retrieval key. When the input is the Japanese-language dictionary retrieval key, Japanese- language dictionary data 5 are retrieved in a step 7 and displayed on the display 7. When the input is not the Japanese-language retrieval key, it is checked whether or not the input from the keyboard 1 is a determination key and when not, other processes are performed, but when the input is the determination key, the KANA-KANJI converted character string is stored in a document storage part 6 and the buffer in an input data processing part is cleared.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a Japanese text input device, and in particular, the present invention relates to a Japanese text input device that has a function of searching a Japanese dictionary corresponding to a character string that has been converted into a Kana-Kanji character or a character string containing Kanji. This provides a text input device.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a conventional Japanese text input device. In the figure, 1 is a keyboard for inputting kana characters, etc., 2 is an input data processing unit that processes data input from the keyboard l and sends it to the central processing unit (hereinafter referred to as CPU), 3 is a CPU that performs arithmetic processing, and 4 9 is a kana-kanji conversion dictionary data that stores the word dictionary etc. required for kana-kanji conversion, 9 is a kana-kanji conversion unit that converts input kana characters into kanji or character strings containing kanji, and 6 stores input sentences. 7 is a display for displaying input character strings, and 8 is a printer for printing input sentences.

Next, the operation will be explained.

Kana character data inputted from the keyboard 1 enters the input data processing section 2, and is inputted from the keyboard 1 and sent to the CPU 3 according to a kanji conversion command.

The kana-kanji conversion section 9 displays on the display 7 candidates for character strings containing kanji or kanji mixed with kana characters based on the kana-kanji conversion dictionary data 4. By selecting one of the converted character string candidates from the keyboard 1, the sentence is stored in the sentence storage section 6.

[Invention or problem to be solved]

Conventional Japanese text input devices were configured as described above, so some of the kanji or character strings containing kanji that are output after performing kana-kanji conversion may be output by users who do not understand the Japanese meaning. In this case, there is a problem that the input device does not have a Japanese language dictionary function, which may cause incorrect input.

This invention was made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is possible to display on the display the Japanese dictionary meaning of the Kanji or Kanji-mixed character string candidates exchanged by Kana-Kanji conversion. The purpose of the present invention is to obtain a Japanese text input device that uses the following methods.

[Means to solve the problem]

The Japanese text input device according to the present invention is provided with Japanese dictionary data corresponding to kana-kanji conversion dictionary data and a Japanese language dictionary search unit, and includes Japanese dictionary data corresponding to the kanji or character strings containing kanji that are output by the kana-kanji conversion. , and the corresponding Japanese dictionary data can be displayed on the display.

[Effect]

The Japanese language dictionary search unit in this invention searches for Japanese language dictionary data by executing kana-kanji conversion and selecting a kanji or character string containing kanji displayed on the display from the keyboard, and retrieves the corresponding Japanese language dictionary data on the display. Display.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1st
In the figure, l is a keyboard for inputting kana characters, etc., and 2
processes the data input from the keyboard l, and the CPU3
3 is a CPU that performs arithmetic processing;
4 is kana-kanji conversion dictionary data that stores word dictionaries etc. required for kana-kanji conversion, 5 is Japanese dictionary data corresponding to kana-kanji conversion dictionary data 4, and 9 is input kana characters as kanji or characters mixed with kanji. 10 is a Japanese language dictionary search unit that searches for Japanese language dictionary data corresponding to a character string containing kanji or kanji, 6 is a text storage unit that stores input sentences, and 7 is an input character string. and a display for displaying Japanese language dictionary data, and 8 a printer for printing input sentences.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the operation of the Japanese text input device shown in FIG.

First, in step 1, it is checked whether the input from the keyboard 1 is a kana character input, and if it is a kana character, the character data is stored in a buffer in the input data processing section 2 in step 2. When inputting ordinary text, step 1 and step 2 are repeated to store character data in the buffer. When all the kana characters to be converted into kana-kanji characters have been input, it is checked in step 3 whether the input data from the keyboard 1 is a kana-kanji conversion key. If the input data is a kana-kanji conversion key, in step 4, the character data in the buffer in the input data processing section 2 is converted into kana-kanji characters. In step 3, if the input data is not a kana-kanji conversion key, in step 8 the keyboard l
Check whether it is input data from or a confirmation key. If it is not a confirmed key, other processing is performed, and if it is a confirmed key, the character data in the buffer in the input data processing section 2 is stored in the text storage section 6 in step 9, and the character data in the input data processing section 2 is stored in step 10. Clear the buffer.

Next, the processing after the kana-kanji conversion in step 4 will be explained. When the kana-kanji conversion is executed, the conversion candidate character string is displayed on the display 7 in step 4a. Next, in step 5, it is checked whether the input from the keyboard 1 is a Japanese language dictionary search key. If it is the Japanese language dictionary search key, the Japanese language dictionary data 5 is searched in step 6, and the searched Japanese language dictionary data is displayed on the display 7 in step 7. If it is not a Japanese dictionary search key in step 5, it is checked in step 11 whether the input is from keyboard 1 or a confirmation key, and if it is not a confirmation key, other processing is performed, and if it is a confirmation key, in step 12 kana-kanji The converted character string is stored in the text storage section 6, and the buffer in the input data processing section is cleared in step 13.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, a Japanese language dictionary search function is added in addition to the kana-kanji conversion function, so if there is a character string whose meaning is unknown among the conversion candidate character strings output during kana-kanji conversion, , it is possible to display the Japanese dictionary meaning of the character string on the spot, which can reduce input errors, and also saves the time required to input text by eliminating the need to look up a dictionary. effective.
