Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate the need of resetting preferential conversion in accordance with vertical writing and horizontal writing so as to make input smooth by converting number into Chinese characters and numbers in accordance with the format of vertical writing and horizontal writing. CONSTITUTION:When a character string is inputted from a keyboard 1, a control part 2 KANA (Japanese syllabary)/KANJI (Chinese character)-converts the inputted character string by a primary conversion processing part 6. It is judged whether there is the number in the conversion result or not. When there is the number, the sentence is judged to be vertical writing or lateral writing based on vertical writing/lateral writing information stored in a sentence information memory 3. When it is vertical writing, a secondary conversion processing part 7 converts Arabic numerals into Chinese characters and numbers. In such a case, a function for setting a conversion order in the Chinese characters and numbers with a different operation procedure is previously provided. Thus, conversion corresponding to a conversion order table in the Chinese characters and numbers can be executed. Since the Chinese characters and numbers are almost used in the case of vertical writing in calling or using cards, input speed can be improved by using this function.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document processing apparatus such as a Japanese word processor or a computer capable of creating a document in Japanese, and in particular, it can convert an inputted numeral into an Arabic numeral or a Chinese numeral. Document processing device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in this type of document processing apparatus, the order of conversion candidates for kana-kanji conversion is constant regardless of the difference in vertical writing format and horizontal writing format. That is, when the numerical data is converted, alphanumeric characters (Arabic numerals) are always preferentially converted regardless of the document input direction such as vertical writing or horizontal writing.

[0003]

Generally, when creating a vertically written sentence, Chinese numerals are often used. In addition, when creating horizontal writing, numbers are often alphanumeric. However, in the conventional document processing apparatus, in the case of a vertically written document, although it is customary to use Chinese numerals as the numbers, the numbers are input in the vertical writing format,
When Kana-Kanji conversion is performed, the first
The candidates will be Arabic numbers. As described above, in the conventional document processing apparatus, there is no priority conversion mode according to the document direction,
Numbers are always converted with alphanumeric priority, and priority conversion according to the direction of characters is not performed.

Incidentally, as for the conversion of Chinese numerals in the case of converting the sentences already stored in the memory from the horizontal writing to the vertical writing, there is known one described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 1-42191.

The present invention has been made in consideration of such a situation. Depending on whether a sentence is written vertically or horizontally, when converting numbers, vertical writing is preferentially converted to Chinese numerals and horizontal writing is performed. It is intended to provide a document processing device which is preferentially converted into alphanumeric characters.

It is convenient to use a microcomputer including a CPU, ROM, RAM and I / O port as the input information storage means 103, and the input information storage means 103 is usually a RAM therein.
Is used.

A RAM is used as the format information storage means 101.
An internal memory such as the above, or an external storage device such as a floppy disk device or a magnetic disk device is used.

[0010]

According to the present invention, the character string input from the input means 102 is stored in the input information storage means 103, and converted by the kana-kanji conversion means 104 into a kanji-kana mixed sentence.

Then, the numeral judging means 105 judges whether or not the kanji kana mixed sentence includes a numeral, and if the numeral is included, the format judging means 106 determines that the currently input sentence is vertical. It is determined whether the sentence is a writing sentence or a horizontal writing sentence. Here, if the text currently being input is vertical writing, the kanji number conversion means 107 converts the numbers included in the kanji kana mixed sentence to kanji numbers.

Therefore, in the case of vertically written sentences, the numbers are converted into Chinese numerals, so that the conversion efficiency of Kana-Kanji conversion is improved and the operability is improved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail below based on the embodiments shown in the drawings. The present invention is not limited to this.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a Japanese word processor. In the figure, reference numeral 1 is a keyboard provided with kana character keys, numerical keys, conversion keys, function keys, etc., for inputting various kana character strings, numbers and the like to the control unit 2. The control unit 2 is composed of a microcomputer including a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and an I / O port.
The control program written in the program memory (not shown) including the OM performs various data processing described later.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a text information memory including a RAM for storing the input character string and a format information for storing whether the input text is edited vertically or horizontally, and 4 is a CRT display device or , A display device including an LC (liquid crystal) display device, an EL display device, or the like, 5 is a dictionary data storage unit including a ROM that stores dictionary data for Kana-Kanji conversion, and 6 is a character string stored in the sentence information memory 3. A primary conversion processing unit for converting a kanji kana mixed sentence and a secondary conversion processing unit 7 for converting the Arabic numeral converted by the primary conversion processing unit 6 into a Chinese numeral. Primary conversion processing unit 6 and secondary conversion processing unit 7
Consists of a microprocessor.

The control unit 2 determines whether or not a number is included in the kanji kana mixed sentence converted by the primary conversion processing unit 6, and when the number is included, it is stored in the sentence information memory 3. By referring to the written format information, it is determined whether the currently input sentence is a vertical writing sentence or a horizontal writing sentence, and when it is a vertical writing sentence, the primary conversion processing unit The number converted by 6 is the second
The next conversion processing unit 7 converts into Chinese numerals.

Next, the contents of the processing operation of the control unit 2 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. The data input from the keyboard 1 is subjected to the conversion process of the primary conversion processing unit 6 and the conversion process of the secondary conversion processing unit 7 under the control of the control unit 2 according to the flow shown in the figure. ,
The final result is displayed on the display device 4.

When a character string is input from the keyboard 1 (step 11), the control unit 2 first converts the input character string into kana-kanji characters by the primary conversion processing unit 6 (step 12). This logic is conventional. Next, it is judged whether or not there is a number in the conversion result (step 13), and if there is a number, the sentence is written vertically or horizontally based on the vertical writing / horizontal writing information stored in the sentence information memory 3. It is determined (step 14). Here, in the case of vertical writing, the secondary conversion processing unit 7 converts Arabic numerals into Chinese numerals (step 15). In this case, it is possible to perform conversion according to the conversion order table in Chinese numerals by providing a function of setting the conversion order in Chinese numerals by another operation procedure in advance. (Example) 123->123->123-> One hundred-two 123-> One hundred-three->123-> 123 And the conversion result is displayed on the screen of the display device 4 (step 16).

If there is no number in the conversion result in step 13, the process proceeds to step 16 and the conversion result is displayed on the screen of the display device 4. If the sentence is written horizontally in step 14, the conversion from the Arabic numeral to the Chinese numeral is not performed and the conversion result including the Arabic numeral is displayed on the screen.

In this way, by having the conversion order according to the vertical writing format and the horizontal writing format, it is possible to preferentially convert the kanji numerals in the case of the vertical writing format, improve the conversion efficiency, and operate. The property is also good.

[0021]

According to the present invention, numbers are converted into Chinese numerals according to the vertical writing or horizontal writing format.
There is no need to reset priority conversion settings according to vertical writing or horizontal writing, and input will be smooth. In addition, since most of business cards and the like use Chinese numerals in the case of vertical writing, the input speed can be improved by using this function.
