In this case, ■ indicates a cursor, and the underline under the character indicates that it has not been finalized. Then, when the "punctuation mark" or "conversion" key is input, kana-kanji conversion is performed and displayed as shown in. See also "No conversion", "Up / down cursor", "Line feed"
When you enter the key, the display is displayed as shown in.

[0006]

In the kana-kanji conversion device according to the prior art, since kana-kanji conversion is performed by the punctuation marks or the conversion key, the punctuation marks are small, and when a long sentence is input, kanji characters are converted. The conversion rate was decreasing. Therefore, in order to increase the conversion rate of kanji, it was necessary to press many conversion keys for each word. Also, it is necessary to press the non-conversion key when inputting alphabets, and when inputting text, more keys are input than necessary.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In an electronic device which creates a sentence by performing kana-kanji conversion, an input means for inputting by key operation and a key input from the input means clearly indicate a phrase. A phrase delimiter determining means for determining a character used for a delimiter, and a response to the determining means,
The kana-kanji conversion device according to claim 1, further comprising a conversion means for converting kana-kanji. In an electronic device that creates a sentence by performing kana-kanji conversion, an input unit that inputs by key operation and a key that is input from the input unit are used to clearly determine a character that is used to separate a phrase. 3. A phrase separation judging means, an alphabet judging means for judging that the character is an alphabet, and a converting means for responding to the judging means and performing kana-kanji conversion.
This is the Kana-Kanji conversion device described.

[0008]

With the key input from the input means, the phrase delimiter determining means for clearly determining the character used for delimiting a phrase, the alphabet determining means for determining that it is an alphabet, and the kana based on the result of the determination By providing the conversion means for converting kanji, kana-kanji conversion is performed whenever it is determined that the conversion is necessary.
