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 documents in Japanese.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is a technique related to Japanese analysis called morphological analysis. Morphological analysis is an analysis process that divides a sentence into phrases or word units and discriminates each part of speech (noun, animal, particle, ...). Here, a phrase is a minimum sentence unit obtained by cutting it as short as possible so that there is no part whose meaning is not understood, and is composed of one or more words. For example, as a morphological analysis process for a kanji-kana mixed sentence such as a Japanese sentence, it is used in the initial stage of Japanese analysis by a machine translation device, a voice rule synthesis device, or the like. Others
Japanese proofreading as shown in Japanese Patent No. 9662
Thrusting devices are known.

It is expected that the number of electronic files written in Japanese will increase enormously in the future due to the development of computers and communication technologies. Along with this, the opportunity to see on the display device increases rather than seeing the Japanese sentence by printing on paper.

However, in the conventional document processing device, since the Japanese sentence is simply displayed on the display device in its original form, a large amount of electronic filed Japanese sentences can be displayed on the display device in a short time. Inefficient to read. Therefore, in order to efficiently read a large amount of these Japanese sentences in a short time, a document processing device that processes and displays the original sentence in an easy-to-read form is required.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and makes it easy to see a character string on the display device when a specific display instruction is given from the input device by utilizing the morphological analysis process of the kanji-kana-mixed sentence. If you insert a "space" or a "specific symbol" at the break of a phrase or word, or if the phrase or word spans multiple lines, it is not displayed at the end of the line, but from the beginning of the next line. The present invention provides a document processing device for displaying.

A communication input device is used that can connect to an external storage device such as a ROM or a magneto-optical disk or an external terminal device to send and receive Japanese character strings.

Reference numeral 2 is a display unit for displaying data such as an inputted kana string, Japanese sentences and conversion results, and is a display device such as a CRT display device, an LCD (liquid crystal display), an EL display device or the like.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a dictionary unit, which is a dictionary / grammar information (morphological analysis information) for performing morphological analysis processing of kana-kanji mixed sentences according to the present invention and a dictionary for performing kana-kanji conversion original to the document processing apparatus (independent. It is composed of a ROM that stores a word dictionary, a proper noun dictionary, a cooccurrence relation dictionary, a user dictionary, and the like, and an external storage device.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a control unit for analyzing a kana-kanji mixed sentence while collating a control program for original document creation / editing of the document processing apparatus with dictionary / grammar information stored in the dictionary unit 3. A control program to be executed, a control program to insert a specific delimiter or a line break from the analysis result, and a control program to display the Japanese character string and the processing result on the display screen of the display unit 2. A ROM (read only memory) that stores the data, a microcomputer that executes these control programs, a RAM (random access memory) that stores data being processed, and a floppy disk device, a magnetic memory device, etc. It is composed of an external storage device.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a storage unit, which is an area for storing and storing the data of the Japanese character string input from the input unit 1, an area for storing intermediate result data during processing, the input Japanese character string, and the processing result. Is composed of a RAM including an area for storing data to be displayed on the display unit 2 and an external storage device.

FIG. 3 is a flow chart showing the outline contents of the analysis processing in the present invention. As shown in this figure,
When the Japanese character example is input, the data of the input Japanese character string is taken in (step 301) and the Japanese character string is displayed on the normal screen (step 302).

Here, if the end key is pressed (step
303), when the processing is completed and the symbol insertion execution key is pressed (step 304), the Japanese character string captured while collating the dictionary / grammar information (morphological analysis dictionary) stored in the dictionary unit 3 is analyzed. The process is started (step 305). From the parsed result, insert a space or delimiter at the break of a string clause or word (step 30).
6).

Spaces are considered to be effective as the specific delimiters, but other delimiters may be used.
The Japanese character string with the delimiter inserted is displayed on the specific screen (step 307), and if the end key is pressed (308), the process is terminated and if the symbol insertion cancel key is pressed (step 30).
9) The process returns to the normal screen display process in step 302, and the analysis process ends.

In the conventional document processing apparatus, a Japanese sentence corresponding to the process of step 302 in FIG. 3, that is, a Japanese sentence in the original form is usually displayed on the display screen.

FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing a display example of a Japanese sentence in step 307 of FIG. As shown in this figure, a specific delimiter (a space in the example) is inserted and displayed at the delimiter of the clause, which is a feature of the present invention. By inserting a space, it is possible to identify the breaks of the clauses at a glance, making it easier to understand the meaning of the sentence, and it is easier to read because there is a blank space than the filled-in sentence.

FIG. 6 is an explanatory view showing a modification of FIG. As shown in this figure, this is a modified example in which the display method in FIG. 5 is devised, and corresponds to the processing of step 307 in FIG. In this figure, if one phrase spans two lines,
Instead of displaying at the end of the first line, display from the beginning of the second line.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5, since the "block diagram" at the end of the second line and the "ru" at the beginning of the third line extend over two lines, the beginning of the third line in FIG. This phrase "is a block diagram" is displayed on the. Therefore,
The user can easily read because the clause does not extend from the end of a line to the beginning of the next line.

FIG. 7 is an explanatory view showing a modification of FIG. As shown in this figure, this is a modified example in which the display method in FIG. 6 is further devised, and corresponds to the processing of step 307 in FIG. In this figure, in addition to the processing of FIG. 6, an example is shown in which a specific delimiter (space in the example) is inserted between words. It is possible that this processing makes the display easier to see than in FIG.

FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing analysis processing in the dictionary unit 3 and the control unit 4. As shown in this figure, the inputted kana-kanji mixed sentence "technology related to Japanese analysis" is analyzed with reference to the dictionary / grammar information (morphological analysis dictionary) stored in the dictionary unit 2 by the control unit 3. And break it down into phrases or words.

As a result of this analysis, the kana-kanji mixed sentence of "technology relating to Japanese analysis" input is the noun "Japanese", the noun "analysis", the particle "ni",
It is made up of the verb "sekisuru" and the noun "technology", and also "Japanese analysis", "sekisuru", and "technology".
You can see that it is established from the phrase.

FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of dictionary / grammar information stored in the dictionary unit 3. As shown in this figure, the dictionary / grammar information includes a morphological analysis dictionary and a connection code table. FIG. 9A shows a configuration example of the morphological analysis dictionary. The morphological analysis dictionary includes elements such as notation, part of speech, prefix code, and suffix code. In general, the dictionary is searched by the right-most longest match method.

FIG. 9B is a connection code table showing morpheme connection codes. This connection code table is for checking whether or not two morpheme candidates can be connected. For example, a binary signal of "0" or "1" is displayed, and the suffix code of the previous word and the suffix Used to find out if the prefix code of a word can be connected.

Regarding the morphological analysis processing, the above-mentioned rightward longest matching method and the connection table are generally used.
