Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial field of application> The present invention relates to a kanji processing device for obtaining a desired kanji from a radical forming a kanji.

<Prior Art> In a kanji processing device such as a Japanese word processor and a Chinese word processor, the first character such as kana and romaji is converted into the second character kanji by referring to a dictionary, and the desired kanji is obtained. However, if you do not understand the reading of the desired Kanji, you can display all the Kanji including the radicals that make up the Kanji and select the desired Kanji from the Kanji group. I was getting kanji by entering the neck.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> When displaying the kanji candidates for radical input as described above, a plurality of kanji are displayed at one time. Since the display device has a small display amount and the number of Kanji candidates increases, the number of times of switching display increases.

In such a situation, in order to search for a desired kanji, it is necessary to pay attention to all kanji candidates displayed, which not only reduces the input speed but also causes operator fatigue.

<Means for Solving Problems> The present invention focuses on the fact that the number of strokes of the desired kanji is predictable to some extent even if the reading of the desired kanji is unknown, and a plurality of kanji characters are formed for each radical. A radical table that stores each Kanji character together with the stroke number of the Kanji character, and a Kanji character number from the radical table is read out in order of the stroke number according to the radical table reference instruction and output to a display device, and at the time of the reading, the Kanji stroke number to be read An object of the present invention is to provide a Kanji character processing device including a control device for outputting to a display device.

<Operation> In radical input of the kanji character processing device of the present invention, when the kanji candidate is displayed, the stroke number of the kanji candidate is displayed as reference information to improve the kanji selection efficiency and further By displaying the number of strokes of the candidate display leading kanji and the number of display tail kanji, the range in terms of the number of strokes of the currently displayed kanji candidates can be known, and the operator's labor for selecting kanji can be suppressed.

<Embodiment> A kanji character processing device of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an operation block diagram of the kanji character processing device of the present invention, in which 1 is a kana or roman character (hereinafter referred to as the first character) key, radical input mode instruction key, radical candidate selection key kanji An input device having various editing keys such as a selection key, a control device 2 for controlling various editing controls, a program storage device 3 for storing a program for editing control,
Reference numeral 4 is a text storage device that stores the input character information, 5 is a kanji conversion dictionary for converting the input first character into kanji, and 6 is a print that prints out the text information stored in the text storage device 4. A device, 7 is a display device for visually displaying the sentence information stored in the sentence storage device, radical candidates and kanji candidates output from a radical table described later, and 8 is a plurality of radicals constituting kanji This is a radical table for storing a plurality of Chinese characters for each pair of strokes of the Chinese character, and FIG. 2 shows a data storage form of the radical table 8. Reference numeral 8a is a radical candidate storage area, 8c is a kanji candidate storage area, and 8b is a kanji candidate stroke number storage area. Each of these storage areas is grouped with respect to one radical, and kanji candidates are grouped in stroke number units. Has been converted.

FIG. 3 shows an operation flow of the kanji character processing apparatus of the present invention, and a specific operation will be described by using this. Note that in 22, the ordinary kanji conversion process for obtaining a kanji by referring to the dictionary from the first character is a known matter, and therefore will not be described, and only the radical input process that is the point of the invention will be described below.

When the reading is unknown and the first character cannot be input and the desired kanji cannot be obtained, the operator presses the radical input instruction key of the input device 1. As a result, the radical input mode signal is output from the input device 1 to the control device 2, and the control device 2 which receives the radical input mode signal receives the radical input mode signal from the radical table 8 of the radical table 8.
As many radical candidates as can be displayed on the display device 7 are read out, and the number of radical strokes at the beginning and the number of radical radicals at the tail of the radical candidate are searched from the kanji candidate storage area 8b (kanji candidate storage). Radius data of the Kanji candidate is stored in the head address of the area 8c, and the head address stroke number data of the Kanji candidate stroke count storage area 8b corresponding to the Kanji candidate storage area 8c is the stroke count for the radical. Visually output from the device 7.

FIG. 4 shows a display form of the display device 7, and 7a
7j is a candidate display area for displaying radical candidates and Chinese character candidates, and has a capacity for displaying 10 candidates at a time. 7R
Is a leading candidate image number display area that displays the number of strokes of the first candidate among the 10 candidates, and 7l is a trailing candidate image number display area that displays the number of strokes of the tenth candidate among the 10 candidates. Therefore, by pressing the radical input instruction key, the display device 7 is moved to the position shown in FIG.
The radical candidates thus read out are displayed and are the first radical candidates. The number of strokes of "one""1" and the number of strokes of "ten", which is the 10th radical candidate, are displayed. If the radical forming the desired Kanji is not displayed at this stage, the radical candidate that was not displayed last time is read from the radical table 8 by pressing the next candidate display instruction key. Figure A
Is displayed in the same form as. In this way, when the radicals forming the desired Kanji are displayed on the display device 7, the operator selects the desired radical. This selection corresponds to the number provided corresponding to each radical candidate. It is performed by pressing the numeric keys (radical selection instruction key) provided on the input device 1. Therefore, the radical selection instruction signal output from the input device 1 is given to the control device 2, and the control device 2 displays on the display device 7 the kanji candidate consisting of the radical instructed from the kanji candidate storage area 8c of the radical table 8. As many kanji candidates as can be displayed are read out, and the number of strokes of the leading kanji and the number of strokes of the trailing kanji of the radical candidate are stored in the kanji candidate storage area 8.
It is searched from b and is visually output from the display device 7. (The display form of the display device 7 is the same as the radical candidate display shown in FIG. 4). FIG. 5B shows the display form of FIG. 5A by pressing the “1” number key of the input device 1. 7 shows a switching display state of the display device 7 when the "one" radical is selected. The candidate display areas 7a to 7j are "one" read from the Chinese character candidate storage area 8c of the radical table 8. "~
"丐" is displayed, 7R displays "1", which is the number of strokes of "1", and 7l displays "4", which is the number of strokes of "丐". If the desired kanji is not displayed at this stage, by pressing the next candidate display instruction key, the kanji candidates that were not displayed last time are read out from the kanji candidate storage area 8c of the radical table 8, As shown in C, the display device 7 is displayed by switching to the previous display. The display form of FIG. 5C is the same as that of FIG. 5B. Kanji candidates of “丑” to “丞” are displayed on 7a to 7g, and the number of strokes of “丑” is “4” on 7R. “”, Which is the number of strokes of “丞”, is displayed in 7 l. When the desired Chinese character is displayed on the display device 7 in this way, the operator selects the desired Chinese character. This selection is similar to radical selection, and is performed by depressing the numeric key (Kanji selection instruction key) provided on the input device 1 corresponding to the number provided corresponding to each Kanji candidate. Therefore, the radical selection instruction signal output from the input device 1 is given to the control device 2, and the control device 2 causes the text storage device 4 to store the kanji data corresponding to the currently displayed kanji selection instruction key. The characters stored in the text storage device 4 are mixed and displayed on the display device 7, and the input of the kanji whose radical is unknown is completed.

The display mode of the display device 7 in the above embodiment is not limited to this, and it is conceivable to display all candidate stroke numbers. Further, the radical candidate, the kanji candidate, and the stroke number in the radical table 8 are not limited to this, and the stroke number may be stored in each candidate unit.

<Effects of the Invention> According to the kanji character processing device of the present invention, a candidate display area for displaying a predetermined number of radicals or kanji read from the radical table, and a head candidate and a tail candidate displayed in this candidate display area. A display device having a head candidate stroke number display area and a tail candidate display area for displaying the stroke numbers of each is provided. First, only radical candidates are displayed on this display device, and the same kanji is selected for the selected radical. Since the candidates are displayed, it becomes easy to search for the desired kanji.

Moreover, since the number of strokes at the beginning and the end are displayed as reference information when selecting a radical candidate, and the number of strokes at the beginning and the end of the kanji candidate are also displayed as reference information when selecting a kanji candidate. It is not necessary to read all radicals or kanji displayed, and the candidate display is switched to the approximate number of strokes of the desired radical or kanji and the part that is displayed when the number of strokes of the desired kanji is displayed It is possible to search for a desired radical or kanji by paying attention to the head candidate or kanji candidate, which not only improves the kanji selection speed but also minimizes operator fatigue.
