Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a Burmese language input device that converts the pronunciation of Burmese input by key input into a Burmese character string.

0002

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION A character string representing one syllable in Burmese consists of an initial consonant character surrounded above, below, to the left, and to the right by intermediate consonant symbols, vowel symbols, final consonant characters, and tone symbols. Regarding Myanmar characters, for example, see Yabujiro's ``
Please refer to "Burmese Conversation Practice Book" (Daigaku Shorin, January 1982).

Initial consonant characters are shown in Table 1, intermediate consonant symbols are shown in Table 2, and combinations of vowel symbols, tone symbols and final consonant characters are shown in Table 3.

0004

[Table 1]

[0005]

[Table 2]

[0006]

[Table 3] Combinations of initial consonant letters and medial consonant symbols include cases where one mediator consonant symbol is attached to one initial consonant letter, two mediator consonant symbols are attached to one initial consonant symbol at the same time, and sometimes Three intervening consonant symbols may be attached to one initial consonant letter at a time.

[0007] The dotted square frames in Tables 2 and 3 represent the positions of initial consonant letters. In addition to those in Table 3, there are other letter symbols representing vowels that are irregularly shaped or have special spellings.

[0008] In the conventional Myanmar language input device, symbols such as consonants and vowels of the Myanmar language are assigned to input keys, and the keys are pressed to directly input the Myanmar characters and symbols.

[0009]

[Problem to be solved by the invention] However, the above-mentioned device for directly inputting Myanmar characters and symbols by keystroke has two problems.
There are two problems.

[0010] The first problem is that the Myanmar script includes characters that represent only foreign words that are not commonly used, and characters and symbols that have special spellings that are rarely used. If characters and symbols are also input, the number of input keys becomes extremely large, and conversely, if keys that can input such characters and symbols are not prepared, it will be inconvenient to use.

[0011] The number of keys that can be easily operated by an inputter is up to 30 (excluding keys operated with the thumb) arranged in three rows, top, middle, and bottom. The second problem is that when inputting Burmese using keys to which Myanmar characters or symbols are assigned, the number of keystrokes required to input a single syllable may become extremely large. As an example, the syllable pya
An example of inputting a Myanmar character string representing un: is shown in FIG.

The present invention has been developed in view of the above-mentioned problems, and it is possible to keep the number of input keys to 30 or less (excluding keys operated with the thumb) so that inputters can easily operate them, and to input all Burmese characters. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an easy-to-use Burmese language input device with a fast input speed that allows input of syllables with just two keystrokes.

[0013]

[Means for solving the problem] In order to solve the first problem above, instead of assigning Myanmar characters and symbols directly to the input keys, it is necessary to use the Myanmar pronunciations instead of the characters and symbols. It is necessary to input the Myanmar pronunciation using the keys and then convert it to a Myanmar character string.

[0014] In order to reduce the number of keystrokes, which is the second problem mentioned above, it is necessary to divide the syllables of Burmese into two parts, a consonant combination part and a vowel combination part, and take measures to input one syllable with two keystrokes. .

The syllables of Burmese are structured as follows. Initial consonant + (medial consonant) + vowel + (final consonant) + The parentheses ( ) attached to the medial consonant and the final consonant on the tone mean that there are some syllables that do not contain the medial consonant or the final consonant. .

[0016] One syllable is divided into two parts: a consonant combination part and a vowel combination part.
In general, when decomposing the consonant into two parts, "initial consonant + (medial consonant)" is considered the consonant-combining part, and "vowel + (final consonant) + tone" is the vowel-combining part, but here we will briefly consider the medial consonant. View.

First, among the Myanmar consonant symbols shown in Table 2, the consonant symbol I4. is a consonant in writing, but from a phonological point of view it has the function of devoicing initial consonants such as nasals, so it is used as a consonant symbol I4. It is common to count initial consonants with a prefix as phonological initial consonants, and the present invention also follows this. That is, from a phonological perspective, the intervening consonants are y (interactive consonant symbols are I1. and I2.) and w (interactive consonant symbols are I3.).
There are two types.

However, the intermediate consonant y (the intermediate consonant symbol is I1.
and I2. ) can be combined with most vowels, but the initial consonants that can be combined are limited. Conversely, the intermediate consonant w (the intermediate consonant symbol is I3.) can be combined with most initial consonants, but the vowels that can be combined are limited.

Therefore, when inputting a medial consonant by combining it with an initial consonant or a vowel, etc., the medial consonant y (medial consonant symbols are I1. and I2.) is input by combining it with a vowel, etc.
The number of input keys that need to be prepared will be smaller if the initial consonant is combined with a single keystroke rather than by keystrokes. On the other hand, for the intermediate consonant w (the intermediate consonant symbol is I3.), it is better to combine it with a vowel and input it with one keystroke than to combine it with an initial consonant and input it with one keystroke. The number becomes smaller.

Therefore, in the present invention, the intervening consonant y (interactive consonant symbols are I1. and I2.) is combined with the initial consonant to create a consonant combination part, and the intervening consonant w (interactive consonant symbol is I3.) is combined with a vowel, etc. I created a vowel combination part by combining it with . In other words, the consonant combination part in the present invention is "initial consonant + (intermediate consonant y)"
The vowel combination part is “(intermediate consonant w) + vowel + (
It consists of the final consonant) + tone.

Each type of consonant combination part and vowel combination part will be explained in detail in the examples described later. The first invention to solve the above problems is to use a Myanmar language input device that inputs the Myanmar pronunciation by typing and converts it into a Myanmar character string.
Either an initial consonant, a consonant combination that is a combination of the intervening consonant y and an initial consonant, a vowel and a tone, or a combination of an intervening consonant w, a vowel and a tone (including cases in which a final consonant is added). By dividing the keyboard into two parts, the vowel combination part, and providing a key that can input the consonant combination part and a key that can input the vowel combination part on the keyboard (1), it is possible to input all the syllables of Myanmar with two keystrokes. This is a Myanmar language input device with special features.

[0022] A second invention for solving the above-mentioned problems is a Myanmar language input device that inputs Myanmar pronunciation by typing and converts it into a Myanmar character string.
) is either an initial consonant, a combination of a consonant combination that is a combination of a medial consonant y and an initial consonant, a vowel and a tone, or a combination of a mediator consonant w, a vowel, and a tone (respectively, when a final consonant is added). In addition to providing a plurality of syllable input keys (11) to which both vowel combination parts (including the This is a Myanmar language input device characterized by being configured to switch vowel input modes.

[0023] A third invention to solve the above-mentioned problems is to create a reading code for Myanmar based on keystroke input using the keyboard (1), and to create a Myanmar character conversion dictionary (5) based on the plurality of reading codes. ) and outputs the corresponding Myanmar character string code, the keyboard (1) has a consonant combination part that is a combination of an initial consonant or a middle consonant y and an initial consonant, and a vowel and tone. In addition to providing a plurality of syllable input keys (11) that are assigned both vowel combination parts, which are combinations of interconsonant w and vowel and tone (including cases in which the final consonant is added), the system also provides reading codes. means to create (
2, 3) provides a reading input mode flag (7) that indicates whether the mode is a consonant input mode or a vowel input mode, and when a key code is received by pressing the syllable input key (11), the key code is The Myanmar language input device is characterized in that it is configured to create a reading code based on both the input device and the value indicated by the mode flag (7), and then invert the value of the mode flag (7).

[0024] A fourth invention for solving the above-mentioned problems is a Myanmar language input device that inputs Myanmar pronunciation by typing and converts it into a Myanmar character string.
) is either an initial consonant, a combination of a consonant combination that is a combination of a medial consonant y and an initial consonant, a vowel and a tone, or a combination of a mediator consonant w, a vowel, and a tone (respectively, when a final consonant is added). In addition to providing a plurality of syllable input keys (11) to which both of the vowel combination parts (including) are assigned, a first shift key (13) and a second shift key (14) are provided, and consonants assigned to the syllable input keys are provided. A consonant combination without a consonant is input by pressing only the syllable input key to which the consonant is assigned, and a consonant consonant whose consonant is y is entered by pressing the syllable input key to which the consonant is assigned. This is a Myanmar language input device characterized in that input is performed by simultaneously pressing the first shift key (13) or the second shift key (14).

[0025] A fifth invention for solving the above-mentioned problems is a Myanmar language input device that inputs Myanmar pronunciation by typing and converts it into a Myanmar character string.
) is either an initial consonant, a combination of a consonant combination that is a combination of a medial consonant y and an initial consonant, a vowel and a tone, or a combination of a mediator consonant w, a vowel, and a tone (respectively, when a final consonant is added). In addition to providing a plurality of syllable input keys (11) to which both of the vowel combination parts (including) are assigned, a first shift key (13) and a second shift key (14) are provided, and the vowel combination part that is assigned to the syllable input key is provided. Among the connected parts, vowels with a low-pitched tone are input by pressing only the syllable input key to which the vowel is assigned, and when inputting a vowel with a high-pitched tone, the syllable input key to which the vowel is assigned and the syllable input key to which the vowel is assigned are input. When inputting a vowel with a descending tone, the syllable input key to which the vowel is assigned is pressed simultaneously with the second shift key (14). This is a Burmese language input device that allows input by inputting information.

[0026]

[Operation] In the first invention, in order to reduce the number of keystrokes when inputting Burmese, the syllables of Burmese are combined with the consonant combination part consisting of ``initial consonant + (medial consonant y)'' and ``(
Divided into two parts, the vowel combination part consisting of "intermediate consonant w) + vowel + (final consonant) + tone", the consonant combination part can be entered with the first keystroke, and the vowel combination part can be entered with the second keystroke. All syllables can now be entered with two keystrokes.

In the second and third inventions, in order to reduce the number of input keys, the input keys for the consonant combination part and the input keys for the vowel combination part are assigned to the same key. In other words, when inputting one syllable in Burmese, the order is always the same: the first keystroke inputs the consonant combination part, and the second keystroke inputs the vowel combination part, so the initial state is consonant input mode. Since the input mode is configured to switch for each keystroke, the first keystroke inputs the consonant combination part, and the next keystroke inputs the vowel combination part.

[0028] In the fourth and fifth inventions, vowel combination parts and consonant combination parts are classified according to their frequency of use, and those that are used frequently are classified so that the inputter can easily remember and input them. Input is performed by pressing only the syllable input key, and less frequently used keys are input by simultaneously pressing the first or second shift key (13, 14) and the syllable key.

[0029] By appropriately combining the above-mentioned inventions, the number of syllable input keys is small, and all the syllables of Burmese can be input with two keystrokes.
An easy-to-use Myanmar language input device can be realized.

[0030]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. First, the configuration of the Myanmar language input device shown in FIG. 1 will be explained.

In FIG. 1, 1 is a keyboard, and the key arrangement is shown in FIG. 2 is a reading code table in which codes assigned to each consonant combination part and vowel combination part are stored. As will be described later, when entering a consonant combination part and a vowel combination part, the same key code is entered by pressing the same key, so an address for accessing the table is created along with the value of mode flag 7, and the Myanmar A reading code specific to the reading of the word is read out.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a reading code output means that accesses the reading code table 2 based on the key code sent from the keyboard 1, reads out the reading code, and outputs it. Furthermore, the apparatus of this embodiment is provided with a mode flag 7. This reading code output means 3 is a keyboard 1
The reading code table 2 is accessed based on the key code from (keyboard 1 has shift keys 13 and 14 as described later, so multiple key codes may be sent) and the value of mode flag 7. This is to create an address for and read out the reading code.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a reading code buffer in which a plurality of reading codes outputted by the reading code output means 3 are stored. 5 is a Myanmar character conversion dictionary consisting of correspondence between multiple reading codes and Myanmar character string codes.

6 reads a plurality of reading codes stored in the reading code buffer 4, creates an address for accessing the Myanmar character conversion dictionary 5 based on this information, and reads and outputs the Myanmar character string code. This is a Myanmar character conversion dictionary search method.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a display means, which is composed of a display 80, a screen code buffer, a character generator, etc. (not shown), and displays the output of the reading code output means 3 and the output of the Myanmar character conversion dictionary search means 6 on the screen. It is something to do.

The operation of the apparatus of this embodiment whose configuration is shown in FIG. 1 will be explained in more detail later. FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the key arrangement of the keyboard 1 of this embodiment, and the reason for adopting this arrangement will be explained.

[0037] Fig. 2 and Figs. 3 and 4 shown later are diagrams for explaining the principle of the key arrangement, and show how the arrangement of each consonant combination part and vowel combination part is actually determined in this way. isn't it.

The consonant combination parts can be divided into two groups.

[0039]

[Table 4] There is no intervening consonant in the consonant combination part of group 1, and I1 of symbol table 2 represents the consonant combination part of group 2, which represents the intervening consonant y.
and I2. ) is attached.

[0040] The vowel combination parts can be roughly divided into four groups.

[0041]

[Table 5] Group ■ is a vowel-binding part of a low-flat tone, group ■ is a vowel-binding part of a high-flat tone, group ■ is a vowel-binding part of a descending tone, and group ■ is a vowel-binding part of a falling tone. This is the vowel combination part of . Further, No. 28 in Table 5 is a weak sound. In addition, in Table 5, the intermediate consonant w (the intermediate consonant symbol is I3 in Table 2) is also expressed using u.

First, the assignment of keys for inputting consonant combination parts will be explained using FIG. 3. Note that this FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram, and such markings are not made on each key of an actual keyboard.

In FIG. 3, the consonant combination portions marked at the bottom of each key are those of group 1 in Table 4, and are input by pressing a single key. Further, the consonant combination portions written on the upper row of each key are those of group 2, and are input by pressing the first shift key 13 or the second shift key 14 simultaneously.

Next, FIG. 4 shows the assignment of keys for inputting vowel combination parts. In FIG. 4, the vowel combination parts marked on each key are those of group ■ (low flat tone) and those of group ■ (closed tone) and weak tone in Table 5, and these are input by pressing a single key. In addition, the vowel combination part of group ■ (Takahira type tone) which is not written on the key is
The key on which the vowel, final consonant, etc. is written (the same key as the vowel combination part belonging to group ■) and the first shift key 13
Enter by pressing the keys at the same time. Similarly, the vowel combination part of group ■ (descending tone) that is not written on the key is the same as the key on which the vowel combination part is written (the same key as the vowel combination part belonging to group ■). Enter by pressing the shift key 14 at the same time.

In this way, the input keys for the consonant combination part and the input keys for the vowel combination part are shared. This is shown as syllable input key 11 in FIG. On the left side of each key is a consonant combination part (capital letter part excluding the weak sound E), and on the right side is a vowel combination part (lower case part and weak sound E).

As described above, in this embodiment, both the consonant combination part and the vowel combination part are assigned to the same syllable input key 11, but the reading code output means 3 of FIG.
In order to read out the reading code, it is necessary to recognize whether the key currently being pressed is a consonant combination part or a vowel combination part.

[0047] Therefore, by providing a mode flag 7 in the reading code output means 3, it is possible to distinguish the input mode of the current keystroke. Here, when the mode flag 7 is off, the consonant input mode is set, and when the mode flag 7 is on, the vowel input mode is set. The initial value of the flag is off.

[0048] The reading code output means 3 uses the syllable input key 1
When a key code indicating that 1 has been pressed is received, an address for accessing the reading code table 2 is obtained using the key code, the key code indicating that the shift keys 13 and 14 have been pressed, and the value of mode flag 7. Create
Read the reading code. After reading, invert the flag value.

With this configuration, the operator only has to input the consonant combination part and the vowel combination part using the method described above, and as long as the input order of the consonant combination part and the vowel combination part is not mistaken.
The reading code output means 3 can recognize whether the current keystroke is an input of a consonant combination part or a vowel combination part.

The processing operation of the reading code output means 3 in the Burmese language input device of this embodiment explained above is shown in FIG.
This will be explained using FIGS. 5 and 6 in addition to FIG. 2. First, the input operation will be explained based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 5 showing the operation of this embodiment (100).

[0051] ■ When starting Burmese input processing, turn off the value of mode flag 7. ■ When a key is pressed in the input waiting state (101), the reading code output means 3 determines whether the key code generated by the keyboard 1 is due to the pressing of the Myanmar syllable input key or the pressing of the Myanmar character conversion key ( For example, whether it is by pressing a number input key or a function key on the device), the
02), if the input key is not a Burmese pronunciation input or character conversion key, processing based on the input key (number input or execution of various functions) is performed (111).

[0052] ■ If it is an input of a Myanmar reading or a character conversion key, it is determined whether the key input is an input of a Myanmar reading or a character conversion key (103). If a conversion key is input, the Myanmar character conversion dictionary is searched based on a plurality of reading codes in the reading code buffer 4, and the Myanmar character string code is converted into the corresponding Myanmar character string code and output (108). Thereafter, the reading code buffer 4 is cleared (109), and the value of the mode flag 7 is turned off (110).

[0053] If the reading of Burmese is input, that is, a syllable input key is pressed, it is determined whether the key input is an input of a consonant combination part or a vowel combination part (104). This is done by referring to the value of mode flag 7, and if the flag is off, the consonant combination part will be input, and if the flag is on, the vowel combination part will be input.

[0054] Subsequently, the reading code output means 3 reads the reading code from the reading code table 2 according to the key code and the value of the mode flag 7, and writes it into the reading code buffer (105, 106). Then mode flag 7
The value of is inverted (107).

[0055] After that, the process returns to the state of waiting for input (101). Further, a specific input example of Burmese will be explained with reference to FIG. The block on the left shows the pressed key,
The middle block shows processing by the reading code output means 3 and the Myanmar character conversion dictionary search means 6 based on the keystrokes in the left block.

The block on the right side shows the display on the display 80. This shows the screen display of the output from the reading code output means 3 and the Myanmar character conversion dictionary search means 6 shown in the middle block. By the way, the Myanmar word in Figure 6 means "volcano."

B) First, when key 11A is pressed (
In the initial state, the mode flag is off, that is, the consonant input mode, so the reading code corresponding to the consonant combination part m is written into the reading code buffer 4, and then the mode flag 7 is turned on (202). Then, this consonant combination part m is displayed on the display 80 (203
).

B) Key 11B and first shift key 1
When keys 3 are pressed at the same time (211), the mode flag is on, that is, it is the vowel input mode, so the reading code corresponding to the vowel combination part i: is written to the reading code buffer 4, and then the mode flag 7 is turned off. (212). The display 80 displays the previously input consonant combination part m.
After that, the vowel combination part i: is displayed (213).

C) When the key 11C is pressed (22
1) Since the mode flag is off, that is, the consonant input mode, the reading code corresponding to the consonant combination part d is written to the reading code buffer 4, and then the mode flag 7 is turned on (222). Then, the consonant combination part d is displayed on the display 80 after the previously inputted m and i: (223).

d) When the key 11D is pressed (23
1) Since the mode flag is on, that is, the vowel input mode, the reading code corresponding to the vowel combination part aun is written to the reading code buffer 4, and then the mode flag 7 is written.
is turned off (232). Then, the vowel combination part aun is displayed on the display 80 after the previously inputted mi:d (233).

[0061] E) When the character conversion key is pressed here (241), the mi:da in the reading code buffer 4 is
Search the Myanmar character conversion dictionary 5 based on the reading code corresponding to un, convert it to the Myanmar character string code corresponding to this reading code, then clear the reading code buffer 4 and turn off the mode flag 7 (242 ). And on the display 80, the Myanmar pronunciation is mi:da.
The converted Myanmar character string is displayed instead of un (243).

[0062]

[Effect of the invention] As explained above, according to the present invention,
A very user-friendly Myanmar language input device can be realized.

In particular, the second and third inventions allow consonant combination parts and vowel combination parts to be input using the same key, and consonant combination parts and vowel combination parts are divided into groups, and in addition to single syllable keystrokes, input with the shift key is also possible. According to the fourth and fifth inventions in which input is performed by simultaneous keystrokes, the number of keys on the input device can be reduced, making input easier.

[0064] Furthermore, with the first invention that allows consonant combinations to be input with one keystroke and vowel combinations with one keystroke, all syllables of Myanmar can be input with two keystrokes, reducing the number of keystrokes. Become.

[0065] Furthermore, the present invention inputs the pronunciation of Burmese and converts it into a Burmese character string, so characters that represent only foreign words that are used infrequently, variant characters, special spellings, etc. All of this can be supported by preparing it as a conversion target in the Myanmar character conversion dictionary, without adding special input keys to input it.
