BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document creation device having a word learning function, particularly a long-term learning function.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a document creation device, when performing homophone conversion, it is possible to refer to a plurality of words having the same pronunciation in order of frequency of use. This is achieved by using a dictionary that stores a plurality of words with the same reading and frequency information for each word, and sequentially reading words corresponding to the input reading information from this dictionary according to the frequency information.

By the way, in a document creation device that uses such a dictionary, if the frequency information of words is fixed, even if the word is particularly used by the user, if the frequency information of that word is low, Problems such as not appearing immediately may occur. Therefore, a learning function is generally used that updates frequency information of the selected word each time the user selects one of a plurality of words with the same pronunciation. This allows the dictionary to have a word appearance frequency structure tailored to the user.

[0004] This learning function includes long-term learning and short-term learning. In long-term learning, unless there is a specific instruction, frequency information is updated according to the frequency of word appearance. On the other hand, in short-term learning, frequency information is initialized, for example, each time the power is turned on or each document. Here, a document creation device equipped with a long-term learning function will be described.

Conventionally, in a document creation device equipped with a long-term learning function, it takes a considerable amount of time to obtain frequency information suitable for a user. That is, at the initial stage, that is, at the time of shipment of the dictionary, the frequency information of each word registered in the dictionary is set in advance. Therefore, in order to change this initial value to the frequency information desired by the user, it is necessary to use the word considerably or to use the same word intentionally, which takes a very long time.

[0006]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As described above, conventionally, it has not been possible to easily set word frequency information. Therefore, there is a problem in that it takes time to obtain frequency information suitable for the user, resulting in poor document creation efficiency.

[0007] The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a document creation device equipped with a long-term learning function, in which word frequency information can be arbitrarily set and frequency information suitable for the user can be easily obtained. The purpose is to provide a document creation device that can.

[0008]

[Means and effects for solving the problem] The present invention provides a document that has a storage means that stores a plurality of words for the same pronunciation and frequency information of each word, and updates the frequency information according to the frequency of appearance of the word. In the creation device, the words used when creating the document are retained, and for example, when the document is saved, the frequency information of the retained words is displayed, and the frequency information can be arbitrarily set, and the set frequency information can be displayed. is registered in the storage means.

[0009] According to this configuration, the frequency information of words used when creating a document can be arbitrarily set, so the frequency information suitable for the user can be easily set without using the same words intentionally. can be obtained.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A document creation device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing its configuration. In FIG. 1, a keyboard 11 is used to input various information necessary for document creation etc. to an input/output control section 12. In addition to "character" keys, "numeric" keys, "cursor" keys, etc., this keyboard 11 includes a "conversion/next candidate" key for instructing kana-kanji conversion and homophone selection. 11a, a "selection/execution" key 11b for instructing confirmation of a word is provided. Input/output control unit 1
2 includes a keyboard 11, a display section 13, a kana-kanji conversion control section 14, a document editing processing section 19, and a document control processing section 21.
It controls the input/output control between the two, and here controls input of readings, output of kana-kanji conversion results, movement to the main menu, instructions for saving documents, etc. The display unit 13 is composed of, for example, a liquid crystal display, and displays the input reading and the kana-kanji conversion results for the reading.

The kana-kanji conversion control section 14 controls the kana-kanji conversion processing section 15 and the long-term learning processing section 17 in accordance with the kana-kanji conversion instruction. The kana-kanji conversion processing section 15 refers to the dictionary 16 and the long-term learning dictionary 18 to perform kana-kanji conversion. The long-term learning processing unit 17 updates frequency information (long-term learning information) of words registered in the long-term learning dictionary 18. Here, the dictionary 16 and the long-term learning dictionary 18 will be explained. The dictionary 16 stores in advance a plurality of words with the same reading and frequency information of each word. The frequency information of words registered in this dictionary 16 is set in advance, for example, at the time of shipment of the device. On the other hand, the long-term learning dictionary 18 is a dictionary used during the long-term learning mode, and is provided in one-to-one correspondence with the dictionary 16. The frequency information of words registered in this long-term learning dictionary 18 is updated by the long-term learning processing section 17.

The document editing processing section 19 performs processes such as creating documents and figures, retaining homophones, and automatically determining homophones. The homophone buffer 20 is a memory that holds homophones obtained through kana-kanji conversion as well as words used during document creation. Document control processing section 21
performs processing such as saving and reading documents. A floppy disk device (hereinafter referred to as FDD) 22 is used to store created documents and to store external characters (characters, symbols, marks, etc. other than JIS 1st level characters and 2nd level characters) and 2nd level characters. etc. to be memorized.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. Here, the description will be made on the assumption that a long-term learning mode is set in a document creation device in which the long-term learning mode can be arbitrarily set, that is, a case where long-term word learning is performed.

First, when the reading is input through the keyboard 11 and the "conversion/next candidate" key 11a of the keyboard 11 is operated (step S1), the kana-kanji conversion control section 14
And through the processing unit 15, kana-kanji conversion is performed (
Step S2), the conversion result is displayed on the display section 13 (Step S3).

Specifically, the kana-kanji conversion processing section 15 extracts the word corresponding to the input reading information from the dictionary 16 along with the frequency information. The extracted words and frequency information are provided to the document editing processing section 19 via the kana-kanji conversion control section 14 and the input/output control section 12. Document editing processing section 19
After storing this word in the homophone buffer 20,
In response to the operation of the "conversion/next candidate" key 11a, the data is read from the buffer 20 and output to the display unit 13. At this time,
If there are multiple words for the pronunciation, that is, if there are multiple homophone candidates, the document editing processing unit 19 first outputs the most frequent word to the display unit 13 as the first candidate based on the frequency information of each word. The display unit 13 displays this word with a symbol indicating an undefined state, such as overline, for example.

Here, if the displayed word is not the desired word, the "conversion/next candidate" key 11a is operated. By operating this "conversion/next candidate" key 11a, the document editing processing section 19 reads out the next candidate word from the homophone buffer 20 and outputs it to the display section 13. As a result, the next candidate word is displayed with an overline as described above. On the other hand, if the displayed word is the desired word, the "select/execute" key 11b is operated. This "Select/Execute"
By operating the key 11b, the word is confirmed and the overline attached to the word disappears.

If the word desired by the user is selected (step S4), the document editing processing unit 19 stores the word at that time in the homophone buffer 20 (step S5). Then, when the document creation is completed, that is, when the document is stored in the FDD 22 through the document control processing unit 21 (step S6), the document control processing unit 21 stores the words held in the homophone buffer 20 using frequency information. together with display section 1
Output to 3. Further, the kana-kanji conversion control unit 14 outputs the homophone of the word at that time to the display unit 13 along with frequency information. As a result, the display unit 13 displays the words used at the time of document creation and their homophones together with frequency information as shown in FIG. 3 (step S7).

In the example shown in FIG. 3, "imagination", "illumination", "background", and "welfare" are displayed together with their homophones as words used when creating the document. Further, the numbers in parentheses indicate frequency information. From this display, it can be seen that, for example, the word "imagination" used when creating a document is less frequent than its homophone, "creation." Here, the user arbitrarily sets the frequency information of the displayed words according to the instructions (step S8). For example, if it is desired to output the word "imagination" with priority over "creation", the frequency information of "imagination" may be set higher than that of "creation" using the keyboard 11. The frequency information set in this manner is registered in the long-term learning dictionary 18 by the long-term learning processing unit 17 (step S9). As a result, from now on, words will be output based on this set frequency information.

[0020] Timings for setting word frequency information include when saving a document, when returning to the main menu without saving, when calling up another document, and when the user instructs to set it. Can be mentioned. Further, examples of setting methods include a method of inputting frequency information as a specific numerical value, a method of inputting an output order of homophone candidates, and the like. Furthermore, holding the selected word until the frequency information is set is not limited to the homophone buffer 20;
Any other buffer is fine.

[0021]

As described above, according to the present invention, in a document creation device equipped with a long-term learning function, frequency information of words used when creating a document can be arbitrarily set, so that the same words can be Even if you do not use it regularly, you can easily obtain frequency information suitable for the user. This greatly improves document creation efficiency.
