Abstract

PURPOSE:To use an arbitrary auxiliary KANJI (Chinese character) in the same way as an external character by moving an auxiliary KANJI selected by an input means from an auxiliary KANJI storage means to an external character storage means and storing it. CONSTITUTION:A KANA (Japanese syllabary)-string inputted from an input part 3 is accumulated in a buffer 61 first. Subsequently, when a user designates a conversion, or the device becomes a timing of the conversion, a control part 1 executes a KANA KANJI conversion processing by referring to a dictionary part 4 and a cooccurrence relation dictionary 5 and other table, etc., and accumulates a result of conversion in a same sound word buffer 63. Also, a first conversion candidate is displayed on a display part 2, and when the same sound word is selected by an operation of the input part 3, its result is accumulated in a learning buffer 62. A defined sentence is copied to the character buffer 62. In this case, when outputted character information contains external character information, and also, it is an auxiliary KANJI, it is that which is copied to an external character buffer 65 from an auxiliary KANJI pattern of memory 7.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a Japanese character processing device for converting kana into kanji and outputting the kanji.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional character processing device (word processor) as described above, the JIS of the kanji to be converted is 1
There are two character patterns, the CG pattern, in the 1990 and 1978 years (the JIS code of the character is the same, but the CG pattern is different). Therefore, if all the character processing devices have only the 1978 version of the character pattern, it will be 199
Since it is not possible to convert the character pattern of year 0, it is difficult to uniformly specify the year.

It is also possible to have both the 1990 and 1978 character patterns at the same time and individually specify which character to use, but in that case, the text file must have that information. If another word processor is used for printing, the desired output may not be obtained.

[0004]

Therefore, when the text file is provided with the above information, the capacity of the text file increases, but in this case, one of the characters to be used can be designated. However, in this case, it becomes necessary to deal with the case where both characters are used in the same line, and the control method becomes more difficult than ever.

When all the information (code and CG) of the auxiliary kanji 5801 is stored, the character information is processed by JIS code 2 bytes in the word processor, and the vacant code is each company, special character (pictogram). Since it is assigned to the control code and external character code etc, it is not possible to assign all the auxiliary Kanji characters 5801 to the internal code.

Further, a method of adding information for distinguishing between the JIS code and the auxiliary kanji code can be considered (in this case, at least 1 bit of information needs to be added), but the processing support in the form of more than 2 bytes processing is speedy. It is also difficult.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and it is not limited to one character (JIS 1990 version or 1978 version) to be used, and it should exceed 2 bytes within the range of the external character code. It is possible to register and use the image as an external character without (without slowing down the processing speed), and the 1990 edition, 19
It is intended to provide a Japanese character processing device that can freely use supplementary Kanji that are not in the 1978 edition.

[0008]

As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention provides an input means 101 and an external character storage means 102 for storing characters and / or graphics input from the input means 101.
And an auxiliary Chinese character storage unit 103 in which a plurality of auxiliary Chinese character patterns are stored in advance, and an auxiliary Chinese character selected by the input unit 101 from the auxiliary Chinese character storage unit 103 to the external character storage unit 102.
Transfer means 104 for moving to and storing in the input means, and input means 101
Control means 1 for selecting a character and / or a graphic from the external character storage means 102 and outputting the same to the output means 105.
There is provided a Japanese character processing device characterized in that it is provided with 06.

[0009]

When the code processing exceeds 2 bytes, the processing becomes difficult in terms of speed, but in terms of capacity, there is a capacity to store the CG of the auxiliary Chinese character, so the CG pattern of the auxiliary Chinese character is stored in advance in the memory (auxiliary character storage means). ) Create and store it above.

Next, when the external character is created, the auxiliary kanji stored in the memory can be displayed and input.

Actually, supplementary Kanji is rarely used for all 5801 characters, and is often used for proper nouns such as personal names and place names, but it is often limited to a specific character. Since a certain number of external character areas have already been secured, the number within the range is often sufficient.

Since it has become possible to call an auxiliary kanji pattern by inputting an external character, the time and effort to create the external character of the equi-kanji character from the beginning is the same as the time and effort to create a character for each radical (collecting patterns for each radical and creating them). Then the balance of the characters themselves is often awkward).

[0013]

2 is a block diagram showing the construction of an embodiment of the present invention. In this figure, reference numeral 1 is a control unit which includes a microprocessor, a program, a table, an external storage device and the like. Reference numeral 2 is a display unit including a CRT or LCD, and 3 is an input unit including a keyboard equivalent to that of a conventional word processor. Reference numeral 4 denotes a dictionary unit that stores independent words, proper nouns, affixes, phonological dictionaries, user dictionaries, etc., including semantic codes, and 5 is a co-occurrence relation dictionary having co-occurrence relations between clauses. 6 is a buffer memory, 61 is a character buffer, 62 is a learning buffer, 63 is a homophone buffer, 64 is a sentence buffer, and 65 is an external character buffer.

The character buffer 61 is a buffer for storing characters input from the input unit 3. Learning buffer 62
Is a buffer for learning words, the homophone word buffer 63 is a buffer for storing homophone words at the time of kana-kanji conversion, and the sentence buffer 64 is for storing definite sentence data. The external character buffer 65 stores external character patterns registered in advance. Auxiliary Kanji memory 7 has C of auxiliary Kanji
The G pattern is registered (in some cases, reading information and radical information).

The operation in such a configuration will be described.
The kana string input from the input unit 3 is first stored in the character buffer 6
Stored in 1. Then the user specifies the conversion,
Alternatively, when it comes to the conversion timing, the control unit 1 refers to the dictionary unit 4, the co-occurrence relation dictionary 5, other tables, and the like to perform the Kana-Kanji conversion process as in the conventional word processor. Store the conversion result in.

The first conversion candidate is also displayed on the display unit 2. Candidates other than the first candidate are also stored in the homophone word buffer 63 and can be displayed on the display unit 2 and selected by operating the input unit 3. When a homophone is selected by operating the input unit 3, the result is stored in the learning buffer 62. The confirmed sentence is copied to the character buffer 63.

In this case, if the output character information includes the external character information and is an auxiliary Chinese character, it is stored in the external character buffer 6 in the external character buffer 6 in the memory 7 when the external character is registered.
It has been copied to 5.

Next, a more specific operation will be described with reference to FIGS.
This will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. (1) Method of registering supplementary kanji in external character creation processing As shown in FIG. 3, in step 301, the supplemental kanji character is entered, and in step 302, an auxiliary kanji character is selected from a number of input methods (other than inputting characters). Operations include Kana-Kanji conversion, phonetic conversion, and symbol input, pictogram input, external character input, kuten input, and Western input from the function).

In step 303, input of punctuation marks / reading input /
The designation of radicals is performed, and in step 304, the ward number (first two digits) is input in the processing when the ward point input is designated in 303. In step 305, the point number (last 2 digits) is entered, and in step 306, the supplemental kanji memory 7 is read from the ward point information
Then, the same CG pattern in the column is searched and stored in the external character buffer 65.

In step 307, the reading of the supplementary Kanji is input in the processing when the reading input is designated in step 303.
In step 308, phoneme conversion is performed based on the input reading. In step 309, the kanji to be registered as the conversion / next candidate or the previous candidate is displayed on the screen, and in step 310, the number before the kanji is entered. In step 311, step 31
The equivalent CG pattern in the auxiliary kanji memory 7 is retrieved from the information of 0 and stored in the external character buffer 65.

In step 312, the radical name / number of strokes is input in the process when the radical classification is designated in step 303, and in step 313, the cursor is moved to the radical of the Chinese character to be inserted and the execute key is pressed. In step 314, the Kanji to be registered as the conversion / next candidate or previous candidate is displayed on the screen, and step 31
In 5, put the number before the kanji. In step 316, from the information of step 315, the equivalent C in the auxiliary kanji memory 7 is stored.
The G pattern is searched and stored in the external character buffer 65.

(2) Method of registering supplementary Kanji as external characters by using the phonetic dictionary function The user does not always know which character is the one in the JIS code or the one in the supplementary Kanji code. For example, if the Kanji for "Ou" in "Mori Ogai" does not usually appear in the conversion, then try to investigate and check why it does not appear in the Shonen dictionary. At that time, it will be easier to understand if the auxiliary kanji information is also automatically displayed by the phonetic dictionary processing.
Also, at that time, if it is a character that you want to use as a supplementary kanji, it will be easy to register it as an external character.

In FIG. 4, the reading is input in step 401, and the phoneme conversion is pressed in step 402. In step 403, the Kanji to be entered by the conversion / next candidate or previous candidate key is displayed on the screen. At this time, the supplementary Kanji data is displayed with an underline. In step 404, the number before the kanji is entered, and in step 405 it is confirmed whether the data input in 404 is an auxiliary kanji. In step 406, if it is an auxiliary kanji, it is confirmed whether the external character is already registered, and step 49
In 7, if the external character has already been registered, where the external character is registered is displayed. Then, the external character can be called from there immediately (useful when registering the user dictionary). In step 408, if the external character is not registered yet, the equivalent CG information is called from the Chinese character auxiliary memory 7 and stored in the external character buffer 65.

(3) Method of registering supplementary Kanji in external character by radical function The user does not always know whether the character he wants to use is the one in the JIS code or the one in the supplementary Kanji code. For example, if the Kanji for "Ou" in "Mori Ogai" does not usually appear in the conversion, then try to investigate and check why it does not appear in the Shonen dictionary. At that time, it will be easier to understand if the supplemental Kanji information is automatically displayed by radical processing. Also, at that time, if it is a character that you want to use as a supplementary kanji, it will be easy to register it as an external character.

In FIG. 5, in step 501, the function key and radical key are pressed, and in step 502, the cursor is moved to the radical of the Chinese character to be inserted and the execute key is pressed. Step 5
In 03, the Kanji to be entered with the conversion / next candidate or previous candidate key is displayed on the screen. At this time, the supplementary Kanji data is displayed with an underline.

Next, in step 504, the number before the kanji is entered, and in step 505 it is confirmed whether the data input in 504 is an auxiliary kanji. In step 506, if it is an auxiliary kanji, it is confirmed whether the external character is already registered. Step 506
Then, if the external character is already registered, it displays where the external character is registered, so that the external character can be called from it (useful when registering the user dictionary). In step 508, the equivalent CG information is called from the Chinese character auxiliary memory 7 and stored in the external character buffer 65 in the buffer which has not been registered as an external character.

In this way, it is possible to easily register and use supplementary Kanji as external characters. Therefore, the external character code is not limited to either the JIS 1990 version or the 1978 version, for example. Within the range, it can be used without exceeding 2 bytes, that is, without reducing the processing speed. Also, J
You can also freely use supplementary kanji that are not in the IS 1990 edition or the 1978 edition.
