BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a kana-kanji conversion device, and more particularly to a kana-kanji conversion device capable of re-separating phrases.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a conventional kana-kanji conversion device. In the same figure, the kana-kanji conversion device has a keyboard consisting of a conversion key and various keys, and an input section 11 for inputting a reading character string consisting of a kana character string for performing kana-kanji conversion from the keyboard.
, a kana-kanji conversion section 12 that converts the reading character string sent from the input section 11 into a character string containing kana and kanji, and a display section that has a display and displays the character string containing kana and kanji from the kana-kanji conversion section 12 on the display. 13, a bunsetsu break moving means 14 for moving the bunsetsu break of the kana-kanji mixed character string displayed on the display section 13, and a phrase break moving means 14 for moving the bunsetsu break of the kana-kanji mixed character string displayed on the display section 13; It is configured to include a word dictionary section 15 that stores therein.

The kana-kanji conversion processing operation of the conventional kana-kanji conversion apparatus in the above-described configuration will be explained with reference to FIG. Note that FIGS. 9(a) to 9(d) show the conversion process of the kana-kanji conversion process. In the character string shown in FIG. 9, "/" is a character (symbol) that represents a phrase break
It shows.

[0004] Now, a reading character string consisting of a kana character string inputted from the input section 11 is sent to a kana-kanji conversion section 12, where it is converted into kana-kanji. The kana-kanji conversion section 12 searches the word dictionary section 15 for a word corresponding to the read character string, and sends the obtained character string containing kana-kanji to the display section 13. The display unit 13 displays the sent character string containing kana and kanji.

FIG. 9(a) shows an example of a read character string, and FIG. 9(b) shows an example of a character string obtained by converting the read character string shown in FIG. 9(a) into kana-kanji.

Now, if the operator is trying to obtain the character string shown in FIG. 9(d), the result output from the kana-kanji converter 12 (see FIG. 9(b)) will not match the desired character string. are different, so the operator operates the bunsetsu break moving means 14 to move the bunsetsu break that reads "In the back/there is a garden."
The user moves one character toward the beginning of the read character string, and then operates the input unit 11 to instruct reconversion.

[0007] When correcting the bunsetsu break using the bunsetsu break moving means 14, the character string containing kana-kanji that has been converted into kana-kanji is set to return to the read character string. The user operates the moving means 14 to move the phrase break information included in the read character string to a desired position, thereby re-separating the phrase break. When the operator completes the phrase re-separation, the kana-kanji converter 12 re-converts the reading character string according to the phrase re-separated by the phrase delimiter moving means 14.

[0008] Figure 9(c) shows the reading character string after the phrases of the character string shown in Figure 9(b) have been re-separated. Shows the result of Kana-Kanji conversion of the displayed reading string.

As described above, a desired character string can be obtained by correcting the phrase delimitation of a character string containing kana and kanji that has been erroneously converted due to a phrase delimitation error.

0010

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the above-mentioned conventional kana-kanji conversion device, the kana-kanji conversion result consisting of two or more clauses is corrected and re-converted,
Even if you obtain the desired kana-kanji conversion result (a character string mixed with kana-kanji), even if you input the reading character string corresponding to the desired character string mixed with kana-kanji and request the kana-kanji conversion again, the desired kana-kanji conversion result will not be obtained. It is not possible to obtain a character string containing kana and kanji, and the bunsetsu break must be corrected and the reconversion request must be made again. For this reason, the operations performed by the operator during kana-kanji conversion were complicated, resulting in poor work efficiency.

[0011] Here, the above-mentioned problems will be explained using a specific example.

For example, for the character string shown in FIG. 9(b), which is the result of converting the reading character string shown in FIG. 9(a), the clause break is corrected as shown in FIG. After performing a re-conversion request and obtaining the desired conversion result (a character string containing kana-kanji characters) as shown in FIG. 9(d), the reading character string shown in FIG. 9(a) is Even if input is input, the conversion result at this time is as shown in Figure 9 (b
), and the desired conversion result shown in FIG. 9(d) is not obtained. In this case, as described above, the operator had to request bunsetsu break correction and reconversion for the erroneously converted character string.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a kana-kanji conversion device that can improve the operability and work efficiency of kana-kanji conversion operations.

[0014]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a kana-kanji converting means for converting an input reading character string into a kana-kanji mixed character string, and a kana-kanji mixed character string converted by the kana-kanji converting means. In a kana-kanji conversion device having a bunsetsu break moving means for moving the bunsetsu break position of a character string, two clause readings related to the movement of the bunsetsu break position by the bunsetsu break moving means and a bunsetsu break position after the bunsetsu break position has been moved. It is equipped with a phrase break learning means that memorizes phrases.

[0015]

[Operation] According to the kana-kanji conversion device of the present invention, the phrase delimitation learning means stores the pronunciations of two phrases related to the movement of the phrase delimitation position and the phrase delimitation position after the movement of the phrase delimitation position. From now on, when reading character strings corresponding to the two clauses are input and a kana-kanji conversion request is made, the readings of the two clauses and the bunsetsu break position information stored in the bunsetsu break learning means will be reflected. hand,
Converted to kana-kanji.

[0016] Therefore, once the phrase delimitation has been corrected for a character string, there is no need to perform phrase delimitation correction thereafter.

[0017]

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a kana-kanji conversion device according to the present invention. The kana-kanji conversion device shown in the figure has a configuration in which a clause break learning section 21 is added to the configuration of the conventional kana-kanji conversion device shown in FIG. In FIG. 1, the same reference numerals are given to parts that perform the same functions as the components in the block diagram shown in FIG.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the configuration of the phrase break learning section 21. In the same figure, a phrase break learning section 21 that functions as the phrase break learning means described above is
The reading character string 31 for two clauses whose clause divisions have been corrected by the clause division moving means 15 and data 32 indicating the clause division positions after movement are configured to be registered. In addition, as data 32 indicating the bunsetsu break position,
It is set so that a numerical value indicating the number of characters after the beginning of the reading character string for two phrases to be registered is the phrase break.

In this embodiment, the phrase section moving means 14 is composed of a mouse as a pointing device. Of course, the phrase separation movement key provided on the keyboard provided in the input unit 1 may also be used. Furthermore, when the bunsetsu break moving means 14 is operated to correct the bunsetsu break, the character string containing kana-kanji and kana-kanji that has been converted into kana-kanji is set to return to the read character string.

Next, the kana-kanji conversion processing operation of the kana-kanji conversion apparatus in the above-described configuration will be explained.

Note that FIGS. 3(a) to (h) show the conversion process of kana-kanji conversion in this embodiment. In the character string shown in FIG. Indicates the character (symbol) it represents. Further, FIGS. 4 to 6 show the data contents stored in the phrase break learning section 21.

First, an explanation will be given of the operation in which the phrase break correction is performed and data is registered in the phrase break learning section 21.

As shown in FIG. 4, the phrase break learning unit 21 currently stores a reading character string indicated by 41 in the figure and a numerical value ("4") indicated by 42 in the figure. It is assumed that there is

[0025] The operator operates the input unit 11 to
When the reading character string shown in a) is input and a request is made to the kana-kanji conversion unit 12 for the kana-kanji conversion process, the kana-kanji conversion unit 12 converts the word (kana-kanji) corresponding to the reading character string sent from the input unit 11. A mixed character string) is searched from the word dictionary section 15, and the read character string is converted into a character string mixed with kana and kanji. In this case, in the phrase break learning section 21,
Since data with a reading string for two phrases included in the input reading string is not registered (see Figure 4),
The data in the bunsetsu break learning section 21 is not used by the kana-kanji conversion section 12.

The result of the kana-kanji conversion by the kana-kanji conversion section 12 (see FIG. 3(b)) is sent to the display section 13, where it is displayed. However, if the operator
), the character string shown in Figure 3(b
) has been incorrectly converted, so the clause break must be corrected.

[0027] In order to make the correction, when operating the bunsetsu break moving means 14 to correct the bunsetsu break, the character string containing kana and kanji returns to the reading string, so the operator must The phrase delimiter (“/”) between the two phrases of “Ha/Niwaga” is moved one character toward the beginning of the two phrases (see Figure 3(c)), and the reconversion request is sent to the Kana-Kanji converter 1.
Send to 2. The kana-kanji conversion unit 12 converts each of the two sent phrases, and converts the conversion results (see Figure 3(d)).
is sent to the display section 13 and displayed.

[0028] Then, the operator selects the current conversion result (Fig. 3
(d)) When the confirmation operation is performed, the kana-kanji converter 12 converts the kana-kanji converter 12 into the following, as shown in FIG.
The reading character string “Okuni ni wa ga” for two phrases with the phrase break correction performed and the numerical value (“3”) indicating the phrase break position, indicated by 44 in the figure, are additionally registered in the phrase break learning unit 21. do.

Next, the kana-kanji conversion process using the information registered in the bunsetsu break learning section 21 will be explained.

When the operator inputs the reading character string shown in FIG. 3(e) (the same character string as shown in FIG. The word dictionary section 15 and phrase break learning section 21 are searched using the read character string that has been read.

[0031]At this time, as shown in FIG. 5(b), the phrase break learning unit 21 stores the character string "Okuni ni waga" indicated by 43 in the figure and the data (numeric value) indicated by 44 in the figure.
(“3”) is registered, so the Kana-Kanji converter 1
2 converts the part of the input character string "Okuniwa niwaga" into kana-kanji using the word dictionary section 14 at the clause breaks of "Okuni" and "Haniwaga". This conversion result (see FIG. 3(f)) is sent to the display unit 13 and displayed there.

Next, the operator uses the bunsetsu separation moving means 14 to transform the character string (conversion result) shown in FIG. 3(f) into the conversion result shown in FIG. 3(h). 3(g
), the conversion result is shown in Figure 3 (h).
) is the conversion result shown.

At this time, the contents of the bunsetsu break learning section 21 are as shown by 43 in the diagram of FIG. On the other hand, the data indicating the clause break position indicated by 44 in FIG. 5 changes from the numerical value "3" to the numerical value "4" as indicated by 46 in the diagram in FIG. will be updated to.

[0034] In the above-mentioned embodiment, the reading character string and the data (numerical value) indicating the bunsetsu break position are registered in the bunsetsu break learning section 21, as shown in FIG. However, in addition to these data, the retransformed 2
The phrase break learning unit 210 may also be configured to register character strings containing kana and kanji for phrases.

FIG. 7 shows the configuration of the phrase break learning section 210. In the same figure, the phrase break learning section 2
10 is a character string 51 containing kana and kanji for two reconverted phrases in the configuration of the phrase break learning unit 21 shown in FIG.
The configuration has an additional storage area for storing. In this way, by registering character strings containing kana and kanji,
For the part where phrase breaks have been learned, the word dictionary section 15
Since there is no need to search for , processing speed improves.

As explained above, according to this embodiment, when the operator corrects and reconverts the bunsetsu breaks for the kana-kanji conversion result, the kana-kanji conversion device automatically corrects and reconverts the bunsetsu breaks. Register the information about the part that has been converted. From now on, when you enter the same reading character string again and request kana-kanji conversion, the kana-kanji conversion section refers to the registered bunsetsu break information and converts the bunsetsu by dividing them according to the bunsetsu breaks that were previously corrected. Therefore, there is no need for the operator to correct the bunsetsu break and re-convert every time the kana-kanji conversion is performed. Therefore, the work of converting kana-kanji during kana-kanji conversion can be greatly reduced.

[0037]

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, when a bunsetsu break is corrected, information registered in the bunsetsu break learning means is referred to for reading character strings corresponding to two clauses related to the correction. Since Kana-Kanji conversion is now performed, there is no need to correct bunsetsu breaks and re-convert each time Kana-Kanji conversion is done, which greatly improves the work efficiency and operability of conversion operations when converting Kana-Kanji. can be improved.
