Abstract

PURPOSE:To automatically correct a word to which an apostrophe is forgot to be attached into the word with the apostrophe by adding the apostrophe to either the last intercharacter position or the second intercharacter position from the last to the miss spelled word to which the apostrophe is forgot to be attached. CONSTITUTION:A spell check command control means and a rewriting means are provided and the data of a word buffer is rewritten with the data of the one word with an apostrophe discriminated to be a correct spell of either the word that the apostrophe is attached to the last intercharacter position of the error spelled word or the word that the apostrophe is attached to the second intercharacter position from the last of the miss spelled word. Thus, the error of spelled word to which the apostrophe is forgot to be attached can be corrected into the word with the apostrophe automatically and complicated correcting work can be omitted.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a document processing device with a spell check function;
In particular, the present invention relates to a document processing device with a spell check function that automatically corrects words with an apostrophe to words with an apostrophe.

[Prior art]

Conventionally, document processing devices such as English word processors and typewriters are equipped with a word dictionary memory that stores ordinary words such as 'is n't, 1, and r'here.
Enter words such as 'sj', 'rl'fnj, etc. with apostrosoid 1゛-1', abbreviations, etc., and check the spelling of each word, or select candidate words related to misspelled words. Devices that allow searching and displaying on a display are widely used.

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention 1] In the conventional English document processing device C, if you forget to write the apostle 1 when inputting a word 2, the spelling of 2 sentences will stop. Even though it is correct, it is judged as a misspelling because there is no apostrophosoi, so
In the same way as when correcting a normal misspelled word, use the ζ and cursor movement keys to insert an apostrophe at the specified position indicated by the ζ cursor, or press 2 or the candidate word display key to insert the apostropho at the position indicated by 7. There is a problem in that a series of troublesome correction operations such as selecting a desired candidate word from among the words are required.

Furthermore, the avos) 0 key is a bad -1 key to use compared to the alpha key and the array position of the number = I-.
- It is often provided at the position of the board 1, and there is a problem that the input operation of the 2' boss o fi is troublesome.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a document processing device with a spell check function (=, f) that can automatically correct words with an apostrophe. It's about sharing.

[Failure to solve the problem]

The document processing device with the spell check function according to the present invention has inputs for inputting characters, symbols, and various commands including (a) 1. Means: a Chinese language bat'noa which sequentially receives and stores 4J of East M1 data inputted or pre-inputted and stored in memory; a word dictionary memory storing spelling information of a large number of words; Buffer Name 4' Through word dictionary memory for one word.

In a document processing device equipped with a spell check function that performs a spell check using a spell check function, at least the last character of the misspelled word is determined to be a misspelled word by the spell check function. Add an apostrophe to the second-to-last position of the misspelled word and the misspelled word, and check the spelling of one of the words using a spell checker. When the spelling of a word with an apostrophe is determined to be correct, the word with an apostrophe is sent to the spell checker. The first stage of rewriting is to rewrite the data in the word buffer in response to the input data.

[Effect]

In the document processing device with a spell check function according to the present invention, the spell check command control lower stage is as follows.

Regarding the misspelled words that are determined to be misspelled in the spell check stage, at least the word with an apostropho in the last character position of the misspelled word, and the word with an apostro in the penultimate character position of the misspelled word. If one of the words with an apostrophe is spell-checked by the spell-checking means, and the spelling is determined to be a misspelling by the spell-checking number, then the other word with an apostrophe is checked by the spell-checking means. ]、Tsukusashiru. The rewriting means is to use -force apost r, 1 phi inquiring word or the other apostro soi (=j in Japanese) (2) If it is determined to be a bad spelling, spell check 1
The data in the word buffer is rewritten by receiving the data 4 of the word with an apostrophe from one side or the other that is determined to be spelled correctly.

In other words, shortened words with an apostrosoid are generally placed in the last character position of the middle part, such as ``r i s n't'' or ``rhere's.'' In some words, such as rlNffil and rI'VeJ, an apostro is placed in the second-to-last character position of the word, so for misspelled words where you forgot to put an apostro, you can change the apostro by adding an apostro. By adding an apostrophe to either the last character position or the second to last character position, the word can be corrected to a correctly spelled word with an apostrophe.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the document processing device with a spell check function according to the present invention, as explained in the [Operation] section, the spell check command control means and the rewriting means are provided, and an apostrophe is added to the last character position of the misspelled word. The data in the word buffer is rewritten with the data of the word with an apostrophe that was determined to be correctly spelled, either the word with an apostrophe added to the second-to-last character position of the misspelled word, or the word with an apostrophe added to the second-to-last character position of the misspelled word. Can automatically correct forgotten misspelled words to words with an apostrophe, eliminating the troublesome correction work.

Furthermore, since it is possible to input a word with an apostrophe without operating the apostrophe key, the operation of inputting a word with an apostrophe can be simplified.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

This embodiment is a case where the present invention is applied to an electronic typewriter for English.

As shown in FIG. 2, a keyboard 3 is disposed at the front of the main body frame 2 of the electronic typewriter 1.
A daisy-wheel type printing mechanism PM is disposed in the main frame 2 behind the keyboard 3, and a liquid crystal display 10 capable of displaying a plurality of words on one line is disposed behind the keyboard 3.

The keyboard 3 includes character keys including alphabet keys, numeric keys, and symbol keys, a space key, a return key,
Cursor movement key to move the cursor on the display 10 left and right, spell check mode setting key to set or cancel spell check mode, and automatically add an apostrophe "゛" to misspelled words that you forgot to add. An apostrophe addition mode setting key for setting an apostrophe addition mode for adding and correcting an apostrophe, and various other function keys are provided.

The printing mechanism PM has a general configuration including a platen, a carriage, a daisy wheel, a driving circuit for these, and the like.

Next, the control system of this electronic typewriter 1 is constructed as shown in the block diagram of FIG.

The display mechanism DM includes a liquid crystal display 10 and a display RAM for outputting display data to the display 10.
and a display controller 11 including a character generator ROM storing a large number of dot patterns such as characters and symbols. Incidentally, the symbol AM is an alarm mechanism including a buzzer 12 and its drive circuit 13.

The control device C includes a CPU 16, an input/output interface 14 connected to the CPtJ 16 via a bus 15 such as a data bus, ROMs 17 and 18, and a RAM 20.

The program memory of the ROM 17 includes a control program that controls the display mechanism DM and the printing mechanism PM in response to code data input from the keyboard 3, and the code data is stored in the input data buffer 21, text memory 22, and word buffer 23. A cursor movement control program that moves the cursor according to the operation of a cursor movement key, an initial setting processing control program that initializes the printing mechanism PM, etc. immediately after power is turned on, a spell check control program, etc. are stored.

The spell check control program stores a spell check processing subroutine for searching the word dictionary memory 18 for each word input or previously input and stored in the text memory 22 and executing spell check processing.

In the word dictionary memory of the ROM 18, English spelling data for approximately 70,000 words, for example, is stored in alphabetical order like a normal dictionary, in order to check the spelling of normal words and words with apostrophes.

Here, since the spell check process is a well-known and general process, it will be briefly explained. For each word inputted from the board 3, passed through the input data buffer 21, stored in the test memory 22 in advance, and supplied from the text editor 22 to the word buffer 23, a large number of words are stored in the dictionary memory 18. Compare the spelling with the word (J-tsuku).

The input data storage 21 of the RAM 20 stores L-9 updates of one line of document inputted sequentially from the keyboard 3. However, 2. Normally, this data is displayed on the display 10.

The text memory 22 cumulatively stores document data line by line sequentially supplied from the input data buffer 21 when in the ``S[A mode''].

The word buffer 23 contains words such as typewriter mode and 1. In the /L mode (a mode in which one line of data is printed line by line), the word data of one word per year supplied sequentially from the input data buffer 21 is stored, or in the store mode, the text is Word data of one word sequentially supplied from the memory 22 is stored.

The check buffer 2i stores word data similar to the terminology data stored in the word buffer 23 in order to check whether a misspelled word has an apostrophe or not. Incidentally, the start address of this buffer 24 is assumed to be aoO (see Figure 2).

The input data buffer 21 is stored in the buffer pointer 25.
One address within is stored. Furthermore, this pointer 2
Let the contents of 5 be the pointer PTI. One address within the check buffer 24 is stored in the buffer pointer 26. Note that the contents of this pointer 26 are referred to as pointer PT2.

The flag memory 27 contains an apostrophe appended to the spell check mode flag F1, which is set (data is "1") when the spell check mode is in effect and reset (data is '0, h) when the spell check mode is canceled. The flag data of the apostrophe addition flag F2, which is set when the mode is set, and the flag data of the misspelling flag F3, which is set when there is a misspelling, are stored.

Furthermore, the RAM 20 is provided with various types of memories, counters, pointers, etc. for temporarily storing the results of calculations performed by the CPU 16, as required.

Next, FIG. 4(a) shows the spell check control routine performed by the control device C of the electronic itai writer 1.
- Explanation will be made based on flowchart 1 in FIG. 4(c).

Note that the symbol Si (i=1.2.3...) in the figure indicates each step.

When the electronic typewriter 1 is powered on, this control is started, and general initial settings such as setting the document data input mode and clearing each memory 21 to 27 are executed (Sl,). Initial settings of the printing mechanism PM are performed, such as setting the origin position of the carriage of the printing mechanism PM and the origin position of the daisy wheel (S2).

Next, when a character key, a delimiter key (space, comma, semicolon, double sign, period, etc.) that indicates the delimitation of words, a function key, etc. is operated on the keyboard 1'3 ($3: Yes), Like a regular typewriter,
A process corresponding to the operated key is executed (S4).

Here, character data and delimiter data input by key operations in the S/A mode or L/L mode are sequentially stored in the input data buffer 21. Also, when the operator operates the spell check mode setting key, the flag F
1 is set, and when the apostrophe addition mode setting key is operated, flag F2 is set.
The following description assumes that the spell check mode and apostrophe addition mode are set in the /L mode.

When the delimiter code is input (S5: Yes),
Spell check processing control (see FIG. 4(b)) is executed (S6).

If the flag Fl is set when this control is started (SIO: Yes), the word data of the latest input word is read from the input data buffer 21 based on the pointer PTI and stored in the word buffer 23. End data END is stored next to the word data (Sl
l). Furthermore, when flag F1 is reset (
SIO: NO), this control ends and returns. Next, a spell check process is performed on the words stored in the word buffer 23 using the word dictionary memory 18 (
312), when the spelling is correct (S13: No),
Finish this control and return.

However, when there is a misspelling (S13: Yes), and when flag F2 is set (S14: Yes)
, apostrophe addition processing control (see FIG. 4(C)) is executed (S15).

When this control is started, first, the start address aOO of the check buffer 24 is stored in the pointer PT2 (S
20), data similar to the data in the word buffer 23 is stored in the check buffer 24 (321). For example, as shown in FIG.
is stored in

Furthermore, this word ``risnt'' is a contraction of the word risnIt.
, was entered incorrectly.

Next, if the data of pointer PT2 is not the end data END (S22: No), data with an apostrophe "°" is inserted and stored at the next address of pointer PT2 (S23), and the word stored in the check buffer 24 is A spell check process is executed for the text (S24).
. And when there is a misspelling (S25: Yes),
Pointer PT2 is incremented by one (326),
S21 and subsequent steps are repeated, and a spell check is executed each time the position of an apostrophe added to a misspelled word is changed from the first character amount position to the last character amount position.

When it is determined that the spelling is overwhelming as a result of the spell check (S25: No), the flag F3 is reset (S2
7) This control ends and returns, but if it is determined that no matter which character amount position the apostrophe data is added to is a misspelling (S22: Yes), the flag F is set.
3 is set (32B) and returns. for example,
As shown in FIG. 6, when the pointer PT2 is at a03 and apostrophe data is added to the last character position of the misspelled word risnt, the word with an apostrophe ri s n't is determined to be correctly spelled. .

Next, if flag F3 has been reset and the word with an apostrophe is spelled correctly (S16: No),
The word data in the word buffer 23 is rewritten with the data of the word with an apostrophe stored in the check buffer 24, and the corresponding word data in the input data buffer 21 is also rewritten with the word data in the word buffer 23. This word with an apostrophe is displayed on the display 10 (S17), and this control ends and returns. On the other hand, if flag F3 is reset and the word with an apostrophe is misspelled (
S16: Yes), and when the determination in 314 is No, the buzzer 12 sounds (31B).

As explained above, regarding misspelled words, we check the spelling of words with an apostrophe added to the first character position of the misspelled word, and when determining misspellings, we check the spelling of words with an apostrophe added to the second character position from the beginning of the misspelled word. The spell check is performed by sequentially changing the position of the apostrophe to the last character amount position until the misspelling is canceled, and the word buffer 23 and the data of the word with an apostrophe determined to be correctly spelled are Since the data in the input data buffer 21 is rewritten, a misspelled word in which an apostrophe has been forgotten can be automatically corrected into a word with an apostrophe, and troublesome correction work can be omitted.

Furthermore, since it is possible to input a word with an apostrophe without operating the apostrophe key, the operation of inputting a word with an apostrophe can be simplified.

The apostrophe addition processing control routine described above has been partially changed, and for misspelled words, the spell check is first performed on the word with an apostrophe added at the last character position of the misspelled word, and when determining a misspelling, the spelling is checked from the end of the misspelled word. ``Abos'' in the character amount position of [No. It is also possible to change it to 1- and make the spelling go 9t.

In addition, the first word of the abbreviated form for boat fishing is "(kuj suru゛7)
"Bostro" soi is almost always placed in the last or second-to-last character position of a word, so when it comes to misspelled words, it can be used as a word with an apostro soi added to the last character position of the misspelled word. , add an apostropho in the second-to-last position of the misspelled word and add 7
If there is a misspelling, I will spell check one of the words with ``C'' and ``C'', and if there is a misspelling, I will spell check the other word with ``C''. And rewrite the data in the input data buffer 21.

In this case, spell check control can be carried out in-house, and the processing time for spell check can be shortened and eliminated.

Note 1. What can be obtained by applying the present invention to word dictionary memory and user dictionary memory, and applying the present invention to document processing systems such as electronic typewriters and sodobu 1 fsetsers for languages of the gods such as English and French. Of course.
