Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a Japanese dictionary having the priority flag which can be freely set by a user and the KANA/KANJI conversion system making an access to the dictionary. CONSTITUTION:A priority flag is provided on a dictionary record 4a of a Japanese dictionary 4. By using a priority flag setting function 2c of a KANA/ KANJI conversion program 2, the only reading of the notation having priority over a priority table 4b is stored. A KANA/KANJI conversion program 2 is provided with a memory load function 2b storing the reading and notation in the dictionary 4 in a priority notation storage area 5 referring to the priority table 4b. A conversion function 2a retrieves the priority notation storage area 5 and the Japanese dictionary 4 while taking a reading inputted from an input section 1 as a key to be displayed on an output section 3. The output order of a homonym is decided depending on the priority flag provided on the Japanese dictionary, the conversion result required by a user can be obtained by one conversion direction. A high-speed conversion can be performed as the priority notation is memory-loaded from the disk device.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a kana-kanji conversion system used for inputting Japanese into a computer.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 5 shows a general kana-kanji conversion method. In the figure, reference numeral 1 is an input section for inputting readings and conversion instructions, and 2 is a conversion of the readings input from the input section 1 into kanji. Sukana Kanji conversion program, 3 is an output unit for displaying the converted Kanji, and 4 is a Japanese dictionary stored in the disk device. Reference numeral 4a indicates a format of a dictionary record, and stores a plurality of notations for one reading.

Next, a conventional kana-kanji conversion method will be described with reference to FIG. The kana-kanji conversion program 2 searches the Japanese dictionary 4 using the reading input from the input unit 1 as a key. If there is a corresponding reading dictionary record 4a,
The output order of the notation is determined based on the grammatical information paired with the notation and displayed on the output unit 3.

[0004]

In the above-mentioned conventional kana-kanji conversion method, since the grammatical information is the only element that determines the output order of homonyms, the conversion result desired by the user cannot be obtained with one conversion instruction. There was a problem.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and provides a Japanese dictionary having a priority flag which can be arbitrarily set by the user, and a kana-kanji conversion system for accessing this dictionary. To aim.

[0006]

The kana-kanji conversion system of the present invention is configured to store a Japanese dictionary having a priority table for storing reading and notation and grammar information, a priority flag, and a reading set with a priority flag, and a priority flag. A method that can be arbitrarily set by the user and a method that loads the contents of the Japanese dictionary into the memory by referring to the priority table and the priority flag before using the Kana-Kanji conversion, the contents loaded into the memory and the Japanese existing on the disk. Means for accessing the word dictionary.

[0007]

According to the present invention, the user can arbitrarily set the priority flag stored in the Japanese dictionary, and the priority flag is referred to in the kana-kanji conversion to determine the output order of the homonyms.

[0008]

【Example】

Example 1. An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1, the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 5 denote the same or corresponding parts. In the kana-kanji conversion program 2, 2a is a conversion function for converting the reading input from the input unit 1 into kanji, 2b is a memory loading function for preliminarily outputting a notation to be preferentially output from the Japanese dictionary 4, and 2c is Japanese. This is a priority flag setting function for setting a priority flag in the dictionary 4. In the Japanese dictionary 4, reference numeral 4a is a dictionary record having a plurality of notations, grammatical information, and priority flags for one reading, and reference numeral 4b is a priority table for managing readings with the priority flag set. Reference numeral 5 is a priority notation storage area secured in the memory for loading the notation to be preferentially output in 2b.

Next, the operation of the kana-kanji conversion system of the present embodiment constructed as shown in FIG. 1 will be described. Flow charts are shown in FIGS. 2, 3, and 4. First, when the job is started, the Japanese dictionary 4 is opened, and if the reading is set in the priority table 4b, the dictionary record 4 is read by the reading.
A is searched, and the notation in which the reading and the priority flag are set is loaded into the priority notation storage area 5 on the memory. At this time, the flag indicating that it has been loaded is turned on.

Next, the kana-kanji conversion is started, and the input unit 1
When a reading is input from, the flag indicating that data is set in the priority writing storage area 5 is checked, and if it is on, the priority reading storage area 5 is searched using the input reading as a key. When the reading is found, the notation is stored in the notation buffer inside the Kana-Kanji conversion program, and the output unit 3
To be displayed as a candidate.

Here, when the next candidate instruction is input from the input unit 1 and the flag indicating that data is set in the priority notation storage area 5 is off, the reading corresponding to the priority notation storage area 5 is read. If not found, the same operation as the conventional kana-kanji conversion method is performed. At this time, the notation obtained by searching the Japanese dictionary 4 is continuously stored in the above-mentioned notation buffer.

The setting of the priority flag in the Japanese dictionary 4 can be arbitrarily set by the user for each notation while using the Kana-Kanji conversion. When a priority instruction is input from the input unit 1, the priority flag setting function 2c sets the reading converted immediately before to the priority table 4
Then, the priority flag of the corresponding notation is set, the memory load function 2b is called, and the reading and the notation are stored in the priority notation storage area 5.

Embodiment 2. In the above-described embodiment, the example of starting the job is shown as the timing of loading the preferential notation of the Japanese dictionary of the disk device into the memory, but it may be when the power of the computer is turned on or at the time of IPL.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, the priority flag stored in the Japanese dictionary can be arbitrarily set by the user, and the priority flag is referred to by the Kana-Kanji conversion to determine the output order of the homonyms. Since the determination is made, the conversion result desired by the user can be obtained by one conversion instruction. Further, since the preferential notation is loaded from the disk device into the memory in advance and used for conversion, there is also an effect that high speed conversion can be performed.
