DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a configuration block diagram of an information display device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The information display device according to the present embodiment basically includes a control unit 40 that receives and edits data transmitted from the communication line 2, an input unit 20 that gives an instruction to select a brand, and securities such as stock prices of the selected brand. And a display unit 30 for displaying information.

The input unit 20 of the information display device of the present embodiment has a keyboard and a handwritten character input device, and directly inputs all or part of the securities code of the designated issue using the keyboard. In addition, the brand name (company name) of the brand to be designated or its abbreviation (for example, an abbreviation in which "Kokusai Electric" is "KE") is input from the handwritten character input device. The display unit 30 uses the same device as the conventional display unit, and is composed of, for example, a monitor device such as a CRT.

Next, the control section 40, which is a characteristic part of the information display apparatus of this embodiment, will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the control unit 40 of the information display device according to the present embodiment includes an input control unit 41, a character recognition unit 42, a standard character pattern storage unit 43, a determination / search unit 44, and a brand information file. Four
5, various brand name storage files 46, and receiving means 47
A securities information storage unit 48, a file updating means 49,
It is composed of an input character / output candidate related file 50.

Further, each section of the control section 40 will be specifically described. The input control means 41 determines whether the data input from the input unit 20 is keyboard data input from a keyboard or character data input from a handwritten character input device.

The character recognition unit 42 compares and collates the character pattern of the character data output from the input control unit 41 with the standard character pattern stored in the standard character pattern storage unit 43, and the character patterns are almost the same. It is converted into the character code of the standard character pattern recognized as.
Therefore, the recognized plurality of character patterns become data (character data) of a plurality of character code strings. However, the character recognition means 42 does not always completely recognize the input character pattern and convert it into a character code, and may include unreadable characters (non-converted). In this case, the unreadable character is, for example, a space (blank).

The standard character pattern accumulating section 43 stores and stores standard character patterns for characters defined by the Japanese Industrial Standards and stores them as data for comparison with input characters. The above-mentioned handwritten character pattern recognition technology is realized by using a character recognition technology that is generally known at present.

The determination / retrieval means 44 receives the keyboard data from the input control means 41 and the character code string data (character data) from the character recognition means 42, and receives the brand information file 45 and various brand name storage files 46. This is to compare and refer to the received data and the received data, and extract the brand name or candidate brand name to be output to the display unit 30.

The stock information file 45 contains the current securities code,
The new security code, the stock name, etc. are stored and held in a table format. As shown in the table diagram of FIG. 2, for one management ID-1, the current security code, the new security code, the stock name, and various attributes. Information (Transaction classification of stocks 1 and 2 etc., loan /
Non-borrowing issues, newly listed issues, listed exchanges, etc.) are associated. Here, the attribute information is the latest attribute information that may be updated daily.

In the various brand name storage files 46, the official name or abbreviation of the relevant brand can be registered in advance, and the brand name (input character) input when designating the brand is output to the display unit 30 as a candidate. Is a dictionary file that is associated with the management ID-1 as a key when the user finally selects it. As shown in the table diagram of FIG. 3, management ID-1 and management ID-2 (brand name) The number of inputs is added to the management ID-2. One management ID
Regarding the number of management ID-2 for -1, the number of management IDs with the highest number of inputs is limited to a predetermined number and managed.

Therefore, if the data received from the input control means 41 or the character recognition means 42 is the current security code, the judgment / retrieval means 44 applies from the current security code column of the stock information file 45 shown in FIG. If the received securities data is a new securities code, the corresponding securities code is searched from the new securities code column of the stock information file 45 shown in FIG. 2, and the received data is character data. If it is an official brand name, the corresponding brand name is searched from the column of the brand name shown in FIG. 2 and the brand name is displayed on the display unit 3
If the received data is character data and is an abbreviation for a brand name, the corresponding brand name is searched from the brand name column of the various brand name storage file 46 shown in FIG. 3, and the management ID- In step 1, the official brand name is displayed on the display unit 30 with reference to the brand information file 45.

Here, the problem is that when all the input characters are not recognized by the character recognizing means 42, or when the input characters are not complete, the securities code from the keyboard of the input unit 20 is also complete. If it does not exist, it is impossible to specify the brand name to be output.

In such a case, if there is the same input character before, the input character / output candidate related file 50, which will be described later, is searched and the candidate corresponding to the incomplete input character is output and displayed on the display unit 30. If it is a new input character, the stock name column, the current securities code column, the new securities code column, or various stock name storage files 4 of the stock information file 45 shown in FIG.
The stock name column 6 is searched, and the stock name or stock code including incomplete characters or stock code is displayed as a plurality of candidates on the display unit 3
The output is displayed at 0.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4, if the input character is recognized as "international" by the character recognition means 42 and there is no same input character before, the column of the brand name of the brand information file 45 is searched. , Select all stock names including "International". Here, "Kokusai Electric,""KokusaiKogyo,""KokusaiSecurities,"
“International reagents” are selected, and these are displayed as candidates on the display unit 30. Then, the user selects the originally designated brand name from among these to obtain detailed securities information regarding the brand.

The receiving means 47 receives securities information such as stock prices transmitted from the computer center 1 via the communication line 2. The securities information storage unit 48 is a storage unit that stores the securities information received by the receiving means 47 according to the securities code.

The file updating means 49, when a stock is selected from the candidates for the input character, the judging / searching means 44.
An instruction is given from the input control means 41, and the input character and the output candidate displayed on the display unit 30 are associated with each other and stored in the input character / output candidate related file 50. At this time, if the stock name displayed at the top is not selected for the related state of the input characters and output candidates that existed in the past, the newly selected stock name is moved up to the top among the candidates. The relational state between the input character and the output candidate is updated and stored.

The input character / output candidate related file 50 is
When the input character from the input unit 20 is incomplete when the input character and the output candidate are associated with each other and the input character is output by the operation of the determination / retrieval unit 44, the input character is input. If the input character exists in the output candidate related file 50, the output candidate for the input character is read and displayed on the display unit 30, and if the input character does not exist in the input character / output candidate related file 50, the stock information file. 45 and various brand name storage files 46 are searched to select a candidate brand name, and one brand name selected from the candidates is moved up to the top and newly entered characters
The output candidate related file 50 stores the related state of input characters and output candidates.

Here, a specific information storage format in the input character / output candidate related file 50 will be described with reference to the table diagram of FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, in the input character / output candidate related file 50, 1 is input for the input character.
One management ID-2 (input character) is given, and a plurality of brand names of candidates are associated with the input character as management ID-1 (candidate). The current and new securities codes are associated with the candidate stock names. In FIG. 5, assuming that “International Electricity” is selected from the candidates in FIG. 4, the input unit No. In 1, "International Electricity"
Are stored in a state of being moved up to the highest level in the order of the number of selections. Therefore, the brand names in the candidate column are arranged in descending order of brand frequency.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the input characters are not limited to kanji, hiragana, katakana, and English characters, and may be numbers corresponding to a part of the securities code. That is, in this case, since the input characters are not the official brand names, the brand name column of the various brand name storage file 46 is searched to display the brand names including incomplete characters as candidates and input. The character / output candidate relation file 50 stores the relation.

Next, an example in which a plurality of brand names of candidates are displayed on the monitor of the display unit 30 will be described with reference to the explanatory view of FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, the candidate stock names and the corresponding current securities code and new securities code are displayed on the monitor, and the characters converted into the character code string data by the input characters are also displayed at the lower left. It is something to display. However,
It is conceivable that, among the input characters, the characters that have not been converted into the character code are left as spaces or different symbols such as "?" Are displayed.

Next, an information processing method in the information display device of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. First, when a user inputs a security code, a brand name or its abbreviation from a keyboard or a handwritten character input device for a brand that the user wants to refer to from the input unit 20, the input control unit 41 distinguishes between keyboard data and handwritten character data, and the keyboard. If it is data, it is sent to the judgment / retrieval means 44, and if it is handwritten character data, the standard character pattern of the standard character pattern accumulating portion 43 is collated with the character recognition means 42 to perform character recognition, and the handwritten character is converted into a character code string. The data is converted to data and sent to the determination / search means 44. If the handwritten character cannot be recognized, it is converted into a space or the like.

If the data (input data) received by the judging / retrieving means 44 is a formal stock code or stock name, the stock information file 45 is searched to display the corresponding stock name and stock code in the display section. Display on 30. If the input data is an abbreviation of a brand name and is stored in advance in the various brand name storage file 46, the column of the brand name of the various brand name storage file 46 is searched to manage the corresponding brand name. By referring to the stock information file 45 with the ID-1, the corresponding stock name and securities code are displayed on the display unit 30.
To display.

Further, when the input data is neither the official securities code nor the stock name, nor the abbreviation registered in the stock name storage file 46, the input character column of the input character / output candidate related file 50 is selected. If a corresponding input character is found by searching, the corresponding candidate brand names and securities codes are displayed on the display unit 30.

If the input data does not exist in the input character column of the input character / output candidate related file 50,
Brand information file 45 and various brand name storage file 46
Is searched, and a brand name or abbreviation including the characters of the input data is selected and displayed on the display unit 30 as a candidate.

As described above, when one brand name and its security code, or a plurality of candidate brand names and their security codes are displayed on the monitor of the display unit 30, if one brand name is displayed on the monitor screen. If a plurality of candidates are confirmed, one is selected on the monitor screen, and the securities information of the selected issue is read from the securities information storage unit 48 based on the securities code and displayed on the display unit 30. As a general selection method on the display screen, a keyboard or a mouse is used, or if the screen is a touch screen, the brand on the screen is directly instructed to perform the selection operation. As a result, the candidate screen is erased, and detailed securities information of the selected issue is displayed on the display unit 30.

When a plurality of candidates are output to the monitor and selected, the file updating means 49 sets the relation between the input characters and the output candidates so that the selected brand name becomes the highest rank. Store in 50. here,
If the input character / output candidate relation file 50 previously stores the relation between the input characters and the output candidates, the candidate column is moved up and updated so that the selected stock name becomes the highest rank. .

The information processing method in the information display device of the present embodiment will be described as a series of processes with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8. 7 and 8 are flowcharts showing the process of selecting a brand. First, as shown in FIG. 7, when a securities code, a brand name, etc. are input from the input unit 20 (101), it is determined whether the input data is a handwritten character (102). Character recognition processing is performed by the recognition means 42 (103), and the input data is recognized.
