Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a character processor which can be easily operated and can process the specific KANJI (Chinese characters) as HIRAGANA (cursive form of Japanese syllabary) by using a means which keeps the word information on a KANA (Japanese syllabary) form and a means which converts the KANJI into the input KANA. CONSTITUTION:A designating means 1000 designates the KANJI to be kept in a KANA form in the KANJI string that is not stored in a character storage means 500. A 2nd character processing means 1100 converts the designated KANJI into the input KANA. A hardness degree information storage means 2000 stores the information showing the hardness degrees of KANJI correlating each KANJI. A pointing means 2100 points the KANJI to be kept in the KANA form in the KANJI string that is not stored in the means 500 yet with designation of a range of hardness degrees. A 1st character processing means 2200 detects the KANJI included in the range of hardness degrees designated by the means 2100 out of the KANJI string that is not stored in the means 500 yet based on the information stored in the means 2000. Then, the character processing means 1100 as the second character processing means converts the detected KANJI into the input KANA.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a character processing device capable of converting a kana reading string of a word into a kanji string.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a character processing device for analyzing Japanese, for example, a kana-kanji conversion device in a Japanese word processor has been widely used. In kana-kanji conversion, kana-yomi is usually converted into a kanji string using a kana-kanji conversion dictionary that stores word readings and notations (kanji strings) in association with each other.

With such a kanji conversion function for words, it has recently become possible to input kana character strings and create kana-kanji mixed sentences in which only words are converted to kanji.

With the widespread use of Japanese word processors, documents used as teaching materials for schools have also been created by Japanese word processors.

[0005]

However, since there are few characters that can be learned in the lower grades of elementary school, if all the kana character strings of a word are converted to kanji strings, as in a Japanese word processor, the created document will be a child document. Will not understand. For this reason, the document creator must display the created document on the display device of the Japanese word processor and perform the operation of partially correcting the Kanji-converted word into hiragana using the keyboard.

For example, if you want to change the hiragana word <Tokushu> to “Tokushu”, you can change the kana-kanji conversion dictionary to include the word “special”, but the word “special” is registered. Not not. Therefore, after the operator inputs "Tokushu" in hiragana, it instructs conversion of kanji, and after converting the input word into the "special" notation, the operator specifies the cursor in the "special" part and deletes it. , You have to enter <shu> and hiragana again.

It is also possible for the operator to convert <Toku> to <Special> Kanji by using the usual Kanji conversion function and input <Shu> in Hiragana, but in this case, Kana-Kanji mixed. The sentence conversion function cannot be used. Further, in the case of one kanji character, there are many homonyms and synonyms, and the kanji selection becomes a complicated operation for the operator.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a character processing device which is capable of processing a specific kanji as a hiragana character and is easy to operate by an operator when converting kanji for a word. It is in.

[0009]

In order to achieve such an object, in a character processing device in which word information is input in the form of kana, converted into the form of a kanji string, and then stored in a document storage means. And a character processing means for converting the designated kanji into an input kana, the designation means for designating the kanji to be left in the kana form in the kanji string before being stored in the document storage means. And

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in a character processing device for inputting word information in the form of kana, converting it into the form of a kanji string, and storing it in the document storage means, the information indicating the difficulty level of the kanji is concerned. Difficulty level information storage means stored in association with kanji, indicating means for instructing kanji characters to be left in kana form in the kanji string before being stored in the document storage means by designating a range of difficulty level, and the difficulty level First character processing means for detecting a kanji character within the range of the degree of difficulty designated by the instructing means from the kanji string before being stored in the document storing means based on the information in the information storing means, and the detected character. And a second character processing means for converting a kanji into an input kana.

[0011]

According to the first aspect of the invention, the operator designates a kanji character once converted into a kanji character string, for example, by the character position,
By converting (returning) the specified kanji into the input kana, a word containing kanji and kana is created.

According to the second aspect of the invention, the operator designates the degree of difficulty of the kanji and converts the kanji in the designated range into the kana of the input to create a kanji kana mixed word.

Hereinafter, an example of special conversion of Kanji for a word will be specifically described.

In this embodiment, the position of a kanji in a word is designated, and the kanji is treated as a hiragana (non-conversion processing mode) and the level of difficulty of the kanji is designated, and kanji above a certain level are designated. About is provided as a mode to handle as Hiragana (Kanji level processing mode).

The operator operates the STTRMD key of the keyboard KB at the time of creating a document, and the screen shown in FIG.
After displaying the guidance mode of 1 (S8-1 → S8 in FIG. 9)
-2 → S8-6 → S17-1 in FIG. 18), and a desired mode is numerically input from the keyboard KB. In the microprocessor CPU, this numerical value is used as a variable (register) TTRMOD.
, And thereafter, special conversion processing is performed in the designated mode each time the STTRMD key is operated.

I) Character Processing in Non-Conversion Information Mode After selecting the non-conversion information processing mode, the operator inputs a kana character string from the keyboard KB in the kana-kanji conversion processing mode (well known).

The kana character string for the input word is temporarily stored in the kana reading buffer KNBUF. Next, this character string is converted into a word containing kana-kanji characters by the word dictionary search of the microprocessor CPU, and the notation buffer HY
Temporarily stored in BUF. Further, this kana-kanji mixed word is displayed on the display screen as a word for special conversion.

When the operator operates the STUTR key, the microprocessor CPU detects the key operation (S8-1.fwdarw.S8-2.fwdarw.S8- in FIG. 9).
3), guidance information as shown in FIG. 19 is displayed on the display screen (step S8-3 in FIG. 9 → S15- in FIG. 16).
1).

When the operator wants to leave the second character in the kanji-converted word as hiragana,
The numerical value 4 (see FIG. 19) is input by the numerical keys of the keyboard KB (S15-2 in FIG. 16).

The microprocessor CPU uses the variable UNTR
The input numerical value 4 is set in U, and the processing procedure of FIG. 16 is ended by operating the PCEND key (S15-2 → S1 of FIG. 16).
5-3 → S15-1 → S15-2 → Exit).

At this time, the STUTR key and the numerical value input key operate as the designating means of the first invention. Next, when the operator operates the SHEN key to instruct execution of special conversion, the microprocessor CPU causes the microprocessor CPU to execute S8-1 in FIG.
→ The operation of the SCHEN key is detected by the processing procedure of S8-2 → S8-5. In response to this detection, the microprocessor C
The PU execution procedure proceeds in the order of S9-1 in FIG. 10 (details are shown in FIG. 13) → S9-2 → S9-4 → FIG. 11, and special conversion processing by non-conversion information is performed by the microprocessor CPU.

More specifically, when the Kanji information in the writing buffer KNBUF is sequentially transferred to the output buffer OBUF as the created word information, the bit information indicated by UNTR is referred to in correspondence with the character position of the Kanji information. Yes (Fig. 1
1 S10-2).

The kanji information of the character position having the bit of "1" is not transferred to the output buffer OBUF, but instead, the kana reading buffer KNB corresponding to this kanji information.
The UF kana information is transferred to the output buffer OBUF (S10-3 and S10-7 in FIG. 11). As a result, when the transfer of all the kanji information is completed, this output buffer OBUF
Nokana and Kanji mixed words are displayed on the screen in the form of additional insertion in the document being created.

The microprocessor CPU for executing the above processing operates as the character processing means of the first invention.

This completes one entry of word information. At this point, the Kanji conversion mode using unconverted information is still set, so that every time the operator thereafter inputs the kana of the word information, the operator simply specifies the character position with the SUTTR key and operates the SHEN key. Partial Kanji in the Kanji string of the target word can be left as input Hiragana.

Ii) Information processing in Kanji level mode When the operator wants to leave Kanji in a certain difficulty level as hiragana, the operator sets the special conversion mode setting key STT.
Operate the RMD to select the Kanji level mode by entering the number on the numeric input keys. As a result, the number indicating the setting mode is stored in the TRMOD area of the random access memory RAM.

Next, the operator operates the STKLV key. The microprocessor CPU detects this key operation (S8-4 in FIG. 9) and shifts the execution procedure to FIG.

With this execution procedure, the screen shown in FIG.
0 guide information is displayed. The operator specifies the difficulty level of the kanji to be left as hiragana by inputting the number on the numeric input key. The character position corresponding to this input number is in numerical form and is the KANLEV of the random access memory RAM.
It is stored in the area (S16-3 in FIG. 17).

At this time, the STKLV key and the numerical value input key operate as the instructing means of the second invention. After performing such a preparation process, the operator inputs hiragana for a word in the kana-kanji mixed mode. When the operator sees the Kanji-converted words on the display screen and determines that it is necessary to make the specified Kanji into Hiragana, SH
Operate the EN key (S-1 in FIG. 9). The microprocessor CPU executes the execution procedure according to the key operation and the preset mode specified in advance from S8-2 to S8-5 in FIG.
0 to S9-1 → S9-2 → S9-5 → FIG. According to the processing procedure of FIG. 12, the microprocessor C
The PU retrieves and extracts the difficulty level of each Chinese character in the writing buffer HYBUF by referring to the Chinese character difficulty information dictionary in the RAM (S11-2 in FIG. 12). Next, the threshold level KANLEV set in advance is compared with the extracted Kanji difficulty level, and when Kanji information having a difficulty level higher than the threshold value is detected, the process of FIG. Stored in the output buffer OBUF (S11 of FIG. 12)
-3 → S11-4 → S11-6 to S11-8). Also,
Kanji with a Kanji difficulty level smaller than the threshold value are stored in the output buffer OBUFF as they are (S in FIG. 12).
11-3 → S11-5 → S11-6 to S11-8).

The microprocessor CPU performs the above-mentioned processing on the notation buffer HYBUF for all the kanji information, and ends the processing procedure of FIG. 12 (S11-2 of FIG. 12).
~ Loop processing of S11-7 → S11-8).

The microprocessor CPU for performing the above processing operates as the second character processing means of the second invention.

After that, the operator can operate the STKLN key at the stage before storing the created word in the document memory for the word input in hiragana and leave the kanji of high difficulty as kana.

Even if the difficulty level is unknown, the operator can operate the STKLV key to cause the microprocessor CPU to determine the difficulty level.

In the above explanation, the information is provided separately from the kana-kanji conversion word dictionary in order to obtain the kanji difficulty information, but the kana-kanji conversion dictionary has an item of kanji difficulty information. The present invention is effective even if the difficulty level of the kanji is recorded.

Further, in the above description, the difficulty level of the kanji is given to the character, but it is also possible to give the difficulty level to the reading of the kanji more finely.

For example, for the character "raw", "sei""sho""i""u""o""ha""nam"
There are readings such as "ki", but the difficulty level is set for each reading.

[0144]

According to the present invention, when inputting a kana to be used for kanji conversion, kanji conversion can be performed by partially leaving the input kana. In addition, if the operator specifies the character position of the kanji and the difficulty level of the kanji beforehand,
After that, the automatically designated Kanji remains as the input Kana, so there is no need to conventionally correct the Kanji in the prepared word.
