Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a document processing device, and more particularly to a document processing device such as a Japanese word processor.

- Conventional Japanese word processors convert alphabets entered in Roman characters to kana strings, convert the kana strings to kanji strings, and display the resulting solid kana kanji strings on the screen. It was displayed above. This screen image is an image of the document created as is, and when the document is printed using an output device such as a printer, the screen image is printed as is, except for character attributes and the like.

Therefore, when editing a document, you will be editing solid Japanese text, such as believing in one person, believing in one country, and believing in one's work. In order to modify the sentence ``to love one person, love one's country, and love one's work'' to ``love oneself, love one's country, and love one's work,'' for example, steps from ■ to ■ below were required.

■Move the cursor before the first "believe".

Press the 0-character delete key twice to delete "Believe".

■ ``Insert love J.''

■Move the cursor to the second "Believe" and execute the above ■ and the above ■.

■Move the cursor to "Believe".

Press the 0 character delete key three times to delete "I believe".

■Insert “I love you.”

Such conventional document creation devices have the following two problems.

(1) In the above work, “believe” twice, “believe”
is deleted once, and for each deletion, characters are deleted twice or thrice, but in all of these operations, the editing command ``delete the first word after the cursor position'' is used. Once is enough.

(2) In the above work, the work in ■■ is performed again in ■, but an editing command such as "Repeat the previous correction" is sufficient for this.

In other words, with conventional document processing devices, there is a problem in that it is difficult to edit a sentence that is larger than the - character as one editing unit.

In addition, even if the 1 display section always displays each divided component in an identifiable manner, the display becomes confusing when inputting a document, and it takes time to calculate the display position. Therefore, there is a problem that the response of the document creation device becomes slow.

Purpose The present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances.
Sentences in sticky languages like Japanese are divided into morphemes and clauses, which are the units that make up sentences.

When inputting a sentence, a normal display is performed, when editing a sentence, each constituent unit is displayed so that the operator can identify it, and editing commands are provided to treat each constituent unit as one unit. This was done for the purpose of providing a document processing device that facilitates editing.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention comprises: (1) an input section for inputting sentences in a target language; and an editing section having a dividing means for dividing the sentences inputted by the input section into constituent elements; ,
(2) comprising a storage unit that stores the results edited by the editing unit; and a display unit that displays each component divided by the dividing means of the editing unit in an identifiable manner;
the editing department has editing means for each component;
Alternatively, (3) an input section for inputting sentences in the target language, an editing section having dividing means for dividing the sentences inputted by the input section into constituent elements, and a memory for storing the results edited by the editing section. and a display section that identifiably displays each component divided by the dividing means of the editing section; This feature is characterized in that the display mode is switched between a mode in which each constituent element identified by the user is displayed in an identifiable manner. Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on examples.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram for explaining an embodiment of a document processing device according to the present invention. In the figure, 1 is an input section, 2 is a display section,
3 is an editing section, and 4 is a storage section.

Enter sentences in the target language into input section 1 using a keyboard, etc.
The text inputted by the input section 1 is edited by the editing section 3. The editing section 3 has a dividing means for dividing the input text into constituent elements. The results edited in the editing section 3 are stored in the storage section 4. Further, each component divided by the dividing means of the editing section 3 is displayed in an identifiable manner on the display section. Further, the editing section has editing means for each component. That is, the dividing means for dividing a sentence into its constituent elements in the present invention divides one sentence into its constituent elements, for example, in the case of a Japanese sentence, it divides it into morphemes or clauses.

Further, the display means for displaying the divided constituent elements in an identifiable manner displays the divided constituent elements on the screen so that they can be identified one by one. Furthermore, the editing means for each component allows the operator to edit each component.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the document processing apparatus according to the present invention. Below, each step will be sequentially explained.

step 1: Divide the Japanese sentence into morphemes. This can be done by following a known morphological analysis procedure. For example, (a) believe in people, believe in the country, and believe in work.

about, (b) Believe in people, believe in the country, and believe in work.

It is divided into

Unedomata: A phrase is composed of several morphemes.

This is an easy process among Japanese parsing processes,
This can be realized using the known bunsetsu integration technique. Specifically, this can be achieved by combining several pieces of knowledge, such as ``A clause can be formed by a sequence of nouns and particles.'' From the morpheme sequence in (b) above, (c) believe in people, believe in country, and believe in work.

becomes.

Social Responsibility: The row of phrases obtained in step 2 is displayed on the display section with intervals between the phrases so that each phrase can be identified. This is a change in display pitch and is possible with known display technology.

In this way, a sentence that was displayed as shown in FIG. 3(,) in the conventional document processing apparatus is now displayed as shown in FIG. 3(b) by the above-described processing according to the present invention.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the keyboard of the input section, in which 11
are alphanumeric keys, 12 is a cursor movement key, 13 is a clause unit cursor movement key, 14 is a clause deletion key, 15 is a clause replacement key, 16 is a repeat key, 0 edit keys are 12~
It points to 16.

The role of each editing key is as follows. The cursor movement key 12 moves the cursor representing the editing position up, down, left and right on the editing screen.The 0 clause unit cursor movement key 13 moves the cursor left and right using clauses displayed at intervals on the screen as one unit. do. The clause deletion key 14 deletes the first clause after the cursor position. The 0 clause replacement key 15 replaces the first clause after the cursor position with the character string inputted below. The repeat key 16 performs the same editing as the previous modification (deletion, replacement, insertion, etc.) at the cursor position.

Using the display screen shown in FIG. 3(b) and the keyboard shown in FIG. 4, the operator reads the sentence (a) and (d) I love people, own a country, and love my job.

The work to be done when modifying is as follows.

■Use the cursor movement key 12 to move the cursor to the position before the first "believe".

■Press phrase replacement key 15 and input "Ai".

②Use the clause unit cursor movement key 13 to move the cursor to the position in front of the second "R".

■Press key 16 repeatedly.

■Use the phrase unit cursor movement key 13 to move the cursor to “
Move before “I believe.”

■Press phrase replacement key 15 and input "I love".

FIG. 5 is a block diagram for explaining another embodiment of the document processing device according to the present invention, in which 21 is an input section, 22 is a display section, 23 is an editing section, 24 is a storage section, and 25 is a Processing section, 2
6 is a morphological analysis processing unit.

27 is a phrase integration processing section.

Sentences in the target language are input into the input section 21 using a keyboard or the like, and the sentences input through the input section 21 are edited by the editing section 23. The editing section 23 has a dividing means for dividing the input text into constituent elements. That is, the morphological analysis processing unit 26 divides the Japanese sentence into morphemes. Then, in the clause integration processing unit 27, several morphemes are put together to form a clause. The results edited by the editing section 23 are stored in the storage section 24. Further, each component divided by the dividing means of the editing section 23 is displayed in an identifiable manner on the display section. Further, the editing section 23 has editing means for each component.

That is, the dividing means for dividing a sentence into its constituent elements in the present invention divides the sentence into its constituent elements, for example,
In the case of Japanese sentences, it is divided into morphemes or clauses. Further, the display means for displaying the divided constituent elements in an identifiable manner displays the divided constituent elements on the screen so that they can be identified one by one. Furthermore, the editing means for each component allows the operator to edit each component.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining another operation of the document processing apparatus according to the present invention. Below, each step will be sequentially explained.

5tepl: The Japanese sentence input from the input section is divided into morphemes by the morphological analysis processing section. This can be done by following a known morphological analysis procedure. For example, (a) Believe in people, believe in one country, and believe in work.

about, (b) Believe in people, believe in the country, and believe in work.

It is divided into

Second, several morphemes are put together to form a phrase by the phrase integration processing unit. This is an easy process among Japanese parsing processes, and can be realized using known clause integration techniques. Specifically, this can be achieved by combining several pieces of knowledge, such as ``A clause can be formed by a sequence of nouns and particles.''

From the morpheme sequence in (b) above, (c) Believe in people, believe in the country, and believe in work.

becomes.

Danku point: Check the current display mode. More specifically, this means checking the value of the system's display mode variable. Here, the display modes include a normal mode and a split mode. When the display mode is the normal mode, it is the same as before, and display is performed using a known display technology (ste
p 5 ) - The flow from step 4 onwards is for the split mode.

5tep4: Display the row of clauses obtained in step 2 above on the display section with intervals between clauses so that each clause can be identified. This is a change in display pitch and is possible with known display technology.

In this manner, a sentence that was displayed as shown in FIG. 3(a) in the conventional document processing apparatus is now displayed as shown in FIG. 3(b) by the above-described processing in the division mode according to the present invention.

Figure 7 is a diagram showing the keyboard of the input section.
32 is an alphanumeric key, 32 is a cursor movement key, 33 is a clause unit cursor movement key, 34 is a clause deletion key, 35 is a clause replacement key, 36 is a repeat key, and 37 is a display mode switching key. The edit keys point to 32-37.

The role of each editing key is as follows. The cursor movement key 32 moves a cursor representing one editing position vertically and horizontally on the editing screen. The clause unit cursor movement key 33 moves the cursor left and right using clauses displayed at intervals on the screen as one unit.The 0 clause deletion key 34 deletes the first clause after the cursor position. The clause replacement key 35 replaces the first clause after the cursor position with the character string that will be input later. The repeat key 36 performs the same editing as the previous modification (deletion, replacement, insertion, etc.) at the cursor position.

Further, the display mode switching key 37 switches the display mode to the split mode if the current display mode is the normal mode, and switches the display mode to the normal mode if the current display mode is the split mode.

Using the display screen shown in FIG. 3(b) and the keyboard shown in FIG. 7, the operator reads the sentence (a) (d) "I love people, I love my country, and I love my work."

The work for modifying is the same as described above.

Effects As is clear from the above explanation, in conventional document processing devices, the unit of editing was one character.

However, since the units of human thought are larger than characters, such as morphemes, words, and clauses, the objects of single document editing work are often the constituent elements of such larger sentences. This makes it easy to edit units such as morphemes and clauses in such sticky languages.

On the other hand, when inputting sentences, it is rather annoying that the lines between words and phrases are displayed.In this case, in this case, by switching the display mode, sentences can be input in the normal display. .
