Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a KANA (Japanese syllabary)-KANJI (Chinese character) conversion system supporting the declaration of an idiom by outputting the candidate word of the idiom when an operator inputs KANJI and semantic information on the idiom to be expressed in the middle of Japanese KANA- KANJI conversion. CONSTITUTION:A retrieval word buffer 4 storing single KANJI and semantic information of the candidate word of idiom conversion in which single KANJI is used, an idiom dictionary 5 having the idiom including single KANJI as against single KANJI and semantic information on the idiom and declaration information buffer 6 storing he candidate word of KANA-KANJI conversion are provided. An input means storing one KANJI which the operator inputs and the meaning of the idiom to be used in a retrieval word buffer storage means 1 and a retrieval means retrieving the candidate word of idiom conversion from the idiom dictionary 5 and storing it in the declaration information buffer 6 are provided. Furthermore, a display means 3 reading and displaying the candidate word of idiom conversion from the declaration buffer 6 is provided. Thus, the operator can obtain the idiom when he knows a part of the idiom and the semantics of its and when he forgets a word.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an idiom conversion method, particularly to an idiom conversion method for converting Japanese kana and kanji.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, this type of phrase conversion method outputs homophones or homophones of the inputted hiragana character string as candidates and allows the operator to select them.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The conventional idiom conversion method described above outputs homophones or homophones of the input hiragana character string as candidates, so if the operator knows part of the idiom and the meaning of the idiom, but forgets the word. The disadvantage is that it cannot output idioms in some cases.

[Means to solve the problem]

In the compound phrase conversion method for Japanese kana-kanji conversion, the compound phrase conversion method of the present invention includes a search word buffer that stores semantic information of a single kanji and a candidate word for compound phrase conversion in which the single kanji is used; An expression dictionary containing an expression containing the single kanji and the meaning information of the expression, a notation information buffer that stores candidate words for kana-kanji conversion, and a kanji input by the operator and the meaning of the expression to be used. an input means for storing in a search word buffer; a search means for searching candidate words for compound word conversion from the compound word dictionary using the contents of the search word buffer as a key and storing the candidate words in the word expression information buffer; and display means for reading and displaying candidate words.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the contents of the search word buffer and phrase dictionary of FIG. 1. The embodiment shown in FIG. 1 comprises a search word buffer storage means 1, a candidate word storage means 2, a candidate word display means 3, a search word buffer 4, an idiom dictionary 5, and a notation information buffer 6. Further, the search word buffer 4 is composed of a kanji part 7 and a meaning part 8, as shown in FIG. 2(a).

In the above configuration, when the operator inputs the first kanji character of an unused phrase and the meaning of the phrase to be used, the search word buffer storage means 1 stores one kanji character in the kanji section 7 of the search word buffer 4. , the meaning information of the phrase to be used is stored in the meaning section 8.

The candidate word storage means 2 uses a single character in the kanji part 7 of the search word buffer 4 as a key, and stores, for a single kanji as shown in FIG. A set of phrases having the same single kanji as the kanji part 7 is searched from the phrase dictionary 5 having the same kanji.

After this set of idioms is searched, candidate words for idiom conversion are searched from the searched set of idioms using the information in the meaning section 8 of the search word buffer 4 as a key, and the searched candidate words are transferred to the kanji section 7.
One kanji character is stored in the notation information buffer 6 as a key. In this search, if the compound word conversion candidate word corresponding to the kanji part 7 and the meaning part 8 of the search word buffer 4 does not exist in the compound word dictionary 5, there is no compound word conversion candidate word corresponding to this search word buffer 4. The information is written in the information buffer 6.
Store in.

The candidate word display means 3 displays a candidate word for compound word conversion stored in the notation information buffer 6 when a kana character string is converted into one kanji character by normal kana-kanji conversion and this kanji is a key of the notation information buffer 6. It is read from the information buffer 6 and displayed. Is there any candidate word for idiom conversion? Information indicating that there is no candidate word for idiom conversion is displayed for the word to be converted into kanji.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention allows the operator to output a candidate word for the compound word by inputting the meaning information of the compound word that the operator wants to express as a kanji during Japanese kana-kanji conversion. The effect is that it is possible to realize kana-kanji conversion that supports the notation of the idioms you have memorized or the idioms you want to express.
