Abstract

PURPOSE:To form fixed 'KANA' (Japanese syllabary) key items by converting or deleting voiced sound symbols, semivoiced sound symbols, spaces, parentheses, long sounds, 'u', etc., which may especially frequently mistaken out of 'KANA' character strings in accordance with a fixed rule. CONSTITUTION:A terminal equipment 11 and a magnetic disk device 18 are connected to a host computer 15, the host computer 15 is provided with a main memory 14, an operation program 12 and a 'KANA' character string converter 13 and the device 18 is provided with an index part 16 and a data part 17. The conversion of 'KANA' small letters to 'KANA' large letters, the conversion of a minus numeral and a 'KANA' character under an alphanumeric into long sounds, the deletion of parentheses, a voice sound symbol, a semivoiced sound symbol and a space, the conversion of 'u' to 'o' when the vowel of a just preceding character is in the 'o' string except the case that a 'u' character exists in the 1st character, and the conversion of a character existing immediately before a long sound into its corresponding vowel are executed. Thereby even when an input miss, the reading mistake of a 'KANJI' (Chinese character), the writing mistake of 'KANA' characters, etc., exist, a 'KANA' key item can be formed.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a card reader,
Uses Kana character strings such as Kana name and Kana company name input by online processing from peripheral processing devices or terminal devices such as optical character reading devices, magnetic tape devices, floppy disk devices, and other systems as key items of files The present invention relates to a kana key item creation processing method for performing such processing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, this type of kana key item creation processing system is based on a card reading device, an optical character reading device,
Peripheral processing devices such as magnetic tape devices and floppy disk devices, or kana characters input by online processing of terminal devices, other systems, etc., are used as they are as kana key items.

[0003]

In the above-described conventional kana key item creation processing method, since the input kana character string is directly used as the kana key item of the file, even if the same name, the same company name, etc. , Kana capital letters are entered as Kana lower case letters, dakuten, semi-dakuten, spaces, parentheses are wrongly placed or added, spelling kana characters is misspelled, or they are not unified at the input stage. If (for example, enter Ito or Ito for the same object), use long sounds, or not (for example, name and neem), etc., the same object with a completely different name, There is a drawback that it is handled as a kana key item such as a company name.

[0004]

The kana key item creation processing method of the present invention is a kana key item creation processing method for creating a key item of a file from a kana character string. Minus and underscore alphanumeric conversion of kana characters into long sounds, deletion of parentheses, dakuten, semi-dakuten and spaces, and the vowel sound of the preceding character is turned off unless the character c is present in the first character. In the case of a string, it has means for converting the c to o and converting the character immediately preceding the long sound into the corresponding vowel.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. A terminal device 11 and a magnetic disk device 18 are connected to a host computer 15, and the host computer 15 has a main memory 14, a business program 12 and kana characters. A column conversion process 13 is provided, and a magnetic disk device 18 is provided with an index unit 16 and a data unit 17.

A data registration process by converting Kana key items according to the present embodiment will be described. The kana character string input from the terminal device 11, for example, the kana character string of the kana company name “Nippon Δ Caesar” is received by the business program 12 and expanded in the main memory 14. Kana character string conversion processing 1
3 performs conversion according to a certain rule for converting the Kana character string developed in the main memory 14 into a unified Kana item. For example, what is input as “Nippon Δ Caesar” is converted into “Nihon Shiisaa” and is expanded in another area of the main memory 14. In the business program 12, the converted result is used as a kana key item for the magnetic disk 1
Index section 1 as a key item of the index sequential file in
6 and the data section 17.

Next, a data search process by converting the Kana key item according to the present embodiment will be described. The business program 12 receives the Kana character string input from the terminal device 11. Kana character string conversion processing 23 performs conversion according to a certain rule,
The conversion result is converted into a kana item of a unified kana character string, and it is possible to retrieve the originally necessary data in the index part 16 and the data part 17.

For example, if the user mistakenly inputs "Nippon Δ Caesar", the terminal device 11 reads "Nihon Δ Caesar".
The kana character string input as is converted to "Japanese character" in the kana character string conversion processing 23 and becomes the same as "Nihon Shiisa" in the conversion result of "Nippon △ Caesar" in the data registration processing, and this registered data is searched. It becomes possible.

FIG. 2 shows processing in accordance with a certain rule in the kana character string conversion processing.

In the input kana character string conversion process 21, the kana lowercase character is converted into kana uppercase character, the minus of the number and the underline of the alphanumeric character are converted into the long sound respectively before the input item check and each conversion processing, and the input character check 22 inputs If there is a right parenthesis followed by a right parenthesis, a left parenthesis followed by a left parenthesis, a kana capital letter, dakuten, semi-voiced sound, right parenthesis, left parenthesis, or a character other than a long sound, the character immediately before the dakuten If is not a character on U, K, SA, or C, it is an error if the character immediately before the semi-voiced sound is not on H.

The kana character deleting process 23 includes a character string before the right parenthesis, a character string after the left parenthesis, a character string inside the parenthesis when surrounded by left and right parentheses, a dakuten, a half-dakuten, a space, Remove the left and right parentheses, and
In the conversion process 24 of, except for the case where the character “U” exists in the first character, the immediately preceding character is referred to, and the corresponding vowel sound is a sequence of o (o, co, so, no, ho, In the case of mo yo ro), "u" is converted to "o", and the conversion 25 of the long sound is converted to the corresponding vowel of the character immediately before the long sound (for example, the kana character string entered as "Caesar"). Is converted to "Shiisaa")
Then, as the special character conversion 26, "chi" is changed to "tsu", "shi".
To "Su" and "Nippon" to "Nihon".

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, the input kana character strings are converted or deleted according to a certain rule, such as the dakuten, the semi-dakuten, the space, the brackets, the long sound, and the c that have many mistakes. By performing the above, there is an effect that a certain kana key item can be created even when there is an input error, a misreading of kanji, or a misspelling of kana characters.
