Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a word processor for converting a word reading input into kanji at high speed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, word processors have been widely used for creating and editing documents.

In a conventional word processor, the user inputs the pronunciation of a word in Katakana or Roman characters and presses the conversion key to convert it into Kanji. After conversion, select candidates until an appropriate Kanji is obtained, and when the appropriate Kanji is obtained, press the enter key to end the conversion. In the conventional word processor, the dictionary function and the conversion function are enhanced, so that it is possible to discriminate a part of speech and collectively convert a sentence in which a particle and an auxiliary verb are mixed.

These conventional word processors have a function called word registration. This is because the user associates readings with words in advance and memorizes them. For example, if the word “industrial property” is stored as “Kogi”, the next time you enter “Kogi” Can be converted to "ownership".

[0005]

However, the above-mentioned conventional configuration has a problem that the user has to interrupt the input of the text and register the word, and the creation of the text is interrupted. Also, even if one user registers the word "industrial property" as "Kogi", other users cannot use it without knowing it, and enter "Kogyōshoken". However, there is a problem that even if a word is registered, it cannot be effectively used. Furthermore, if a plurality of users register the word “industrial property” with a plurality of readings, the number of user dictionaries becomes enormous, the conversion speed decreases, and the document creation time increases. I had.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a word processor which can convert Kanji characters without inputting all the readings of words.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention proposes a dictionary in which used words and readings are sequentially stored, and candidates from the dictionary before all readings input from the input means are input. It has a configuration including a candidate selection means for selecting.

[0008]

With the above-described structure, the present invention operates so that a word that has been used once can be converted without inputting all the readings of that word.

[0009]

1 is a functional block diagram of a word processor according to an embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 is a phonetic input means for inputting the reading of a word by inputting Roman characters, and 2 is a conversion instruction confirming means for instructing the conversion of the kanji input from the input means 1 and for confirming the desired kanji when it is selected, 3 is, for example, "Kogyo (KO
UGYOU) ", the word dictionary storing words such as" industrial "and" mining "refers to the word dictionary 3 and reads the reading input from the reading input means 1 from the conversion instruction confirming means 2. 4, conversion means 5 for converting based on an instruction, display means for displaying a reading or word, and 6 when a conversion confirmation is instructed by the conversion instruction confirming means 2 as shown in FIG. A use word storage means for storing the frequency, 7 is, when conversion confirmation is instructed from the conversion instruction confirming means 2, discriminates whether or not the word at that time is a compound word. It is a compound word judging means for storing the word, the reading and the occurrence frequency. The compound word judging means 7 judges whether the word is a compound word by judging whether or not two or more nouns are consecutive when conversion is instructed. When the reading input means 1 inputs three or more readings, the reference numeral 8 refers to the used word dictionary 6 to perform a forward match search based on the reading, and select 5 candidates from the most frequently used target words. The feedforward candidate selecting means for displaying on the display means 5, and 9 is a feedforward conversion confirming means for selecting one of the candidates displayed on the display means 5 by the feedforward candidate selecting means 8.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the word processor of this embodiment. Reference numeral 11 is a keyboard, 12 is a cathode ray tube display (hereinafter, referred to as CRT) that is the display unit 5, 13 is a read-only memory (hereinafter, referred to as ROM), and 14 is a read / write memory (hereinafter, referred to as occasional memory).
Reference numeral 15 denotes a central processing unit (hereinafter referred to as CPU). The reading input means 1, the conversion instruction determination means 2, and the feedforward conversion determination means 9 are realized by a keyboard 11. Also, the word dictionary 3 is the ROM 1
3, the used word dictionary 6 is realized by the RAM 14.
Further, in the conversion unit 4, the compound word determination unit 7, and the feedforward candidate selection unit 8, the CPU 15 is a ROM.
It is realized by exchanging data with the RAM 14 according to a program stored in 13.

The operation of the word processor of this embodiment is shown in FIG.
This will be described with reference to the flowchart of.

First, when the user wants to obtain the word "industrial", the conversion is performed as follows. Step two
When the user inputs "KOU" by repeating steps 1 and 22, the feedforward candidate selection means 8 searches the used word dictionary 6 for prefix match with "KOU" in step 23, and finds a candidate corresponding to "KOU". It is determined whether there are five or more. If the number is 5 or less, all candidates are designated in step 24. In the explanation example, there are 6 candidates corresponding to “KOU”.
Since there are individual pieces, the 5 most frequently used candidates are displayed in step 25 as shown in FIG. 6a. In FIG. 6, 31 is CR
The T12 screen, 31a, is an input area for the user, and "KOU" is displayed. Further, 31b is a candidate display area, which is a frequently used 5 candidate “industrial property right”,
"High income", "Industry", "High income", "Port" are displayed. If the feedforward conversion confirmation means 9 is operated in step 26, the selected one of the five candidates is selected.
However, the feedforward conversion confirming means 9 is not operated because there is no "industrial" among the five candidates. Further, when the conversion instruction confirming means 2 is operated in step 27, the conversion is confirmed, but the user still has "KOUG".
Since only "KOU" of "YOU YOU" has been input, the conversion instruction confirming unit 2 is not operated. Next, in step 28, when the user inputs "G", which is the main part of the next reading, in steps 23 and 24, the feedforward candidate selection means 8 selects three candidates "industrial property", "industrial property", as shown in FIG. 6b. "Industrial" and "Industrial" are displayed in the candidate display area 31b of the CRT 12. Here, the user operates the feed-forward conversion confirming means 9 so that “industrial”
When is selected, "industrial" is displayed in the input area 31a. At this time, the used word dictionary 6 is updated in step 29, and the use frequency of "industrial" is incremented by one.

At this time, if, for example, the word "large-scale" precedes the word "industrial", the compound word judging means 7 recognizes the compound "large-scale industrial" as one word and uses it. The word dictionary 6 reads "DAIKIB0KO
"UGYOUYOU", a word "large-scale industrial", and a frequency "1" are newly registered. In this embodiment, the case where the user operates the feedforward conversion confirming means 9 in a state where the user has input up to “KOUG” has been described, but the user operates the feedforward conversion confirming means 9 at the stage of FIG. It is also possible to select “industrial”, enter “YOU” thereafter, and obtain “use” by ordinary conversion.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the user simply creates a sentence, the words are automatically registered, the conversion candidates are displayed before inputting all the readings, and the selected one is selected. can do. Further, unlike the word registration, the abbreviation is not used as a keyword, so that it can be effectively used by different users.

[0015]

As is apparent from the above embodiments, the present invention provides a dictionary for sequentially storing used words and readings,
It is equipped with candidate selection means that selects candidates from the dictionary before all the readings entered from the input means are input, and the user does not have to enter all the readings of the word once used. Can be converted, and a word processor that can obtain a high conversion speed can be provided.
