Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for creating a kana-kanji mixed sentence from an input of a headword, and more particularly to a document creation device for efficiently outputting a desired kana-kanji mixed sentence.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional kana-kanji conversion method document creating apparatus, a fixed dictionary in which a predetermined number of fixed entries are registered in advance as a set of entry words and corresponding kana-kanji mixed sentences, and conversion characters for the entry words. A user dictionary capable of arbitrarily creating and registering columns is provided, and a fixed dictionary and a user dictionary are searched at the time of conversion by an entry word, and a suitable conversion candidate is selected from the search and output to a display device.

A conventional document creating apparatus will be described with reference to the following drawings. FIG. 5 shows the configuration of a conventional document creating apparatus. In FIG. 5, 1 is a character string input unit, 2 is a character string storage unit that stores a character string input by the character input unit 1, and 3 is a plurality of word reading information, word notation, grammar information, and the like. The first dictionary storage unit 4 is a second dictionary storage unit 4 which mainly stores and deletes the character string stored in the character string storage unit 2, and 6 is stored in the character string storage unit 2. A dictionary reading unit that reads word information corresponding to the input reading character string from the first dictionary storage unit 3 or the second dictionary storage unit 4 is a dictionary reading unit that reads the input reading character string stored in the character string storage unit 2. It is a kana-kanji conversion unit that converts the kana-kanji mixed sentence based on the word information read in 6.

With respect to the document creating apparatus for the constituent elements as described above, the mutual relationship between the constituent elements and the operation thereof will be described below. For example, a kana-kanji mixed sentence used in a greeting message such as the letter "I would like to extend my gratitude to you all more." Was registered in the second dictionary storage unit 4 as a pair with the entry word "greeting". In this case, in the next Kana-Kanji conversion process, as a result of the Kana-Kanji conversion process that corresponds to the entry of the entry word "Greeting," we can obtain a Kana-Kanji mixed sentence saying "I would like to express my gratitude to you."

For example, one phrase in this sentence, in this case, the phrase "Goseiyo" is replaced with a different word, for example, "Mimori", and the other phrases are "Marumaru Mimori" without modification. If you want to output the sentence "I'm glad.", The first method is to enter the entry word "Greetings" registered in the dictionary, perform Kana-Kanji conversion processing, and say "I am more than happy and happy." Is output to the display device, and then “Miyoei” in the sentence is deleted, “Mimorimori” is inserted in the same place, and the target sentence is output.

[0006] As a second method, the sentence "Masu Masumi Takamori is pleased." Which contains a mixture of kanji that you want to output is paired with the entry word "Greetings" and registered in the second dictionary storage unit 4. However, after the entry word is input, conversion processing such as selecting and outputting a target sentence by the kana-kanji conversion processing can be considered. FIG. 6 shows the flow of this second conversion processing method.

[0007]

However, when creating a sentence, a sentence in which a word is replaced with respect to a certain phrase in the sentence usually appears relatively frequently.

In the above conversion process, the former takes a means of converting to a registered conversion sentence corresponding to the entry word, so the output process of the registered sentence is performed efficiently.
After that, since the editing process for the word to be replaced occurs, the process is complicated and an erroneous operation is likely to occur. In the latter case, the target sentence is collated with the registered conversion sentence already registered in the second dictionary storage unit, and when a certain phrase is a different word, every time it is stored in the second dictionary storage unit. Since it is necessary to register the conversion sentence, the registration is duplicated for parts other than different clauses, so not only is the dictionary memory inefficient to use, but by repeating this process, the number of candidates for the kana-kanji conversion process for a certain headword is reduced. However, there was a problem that it increased and decreased the Kana-Kanji conversion speed.

The present invention solves the problems of the above-described conventional document creating apparatus, and eliminates the above-mentioned useless overlapping of clauses when registering a converted sentence in the second dictionary storage unit. An object of the present invention is to provide a document creation device which uses a dictionary memory efficiently and is excellent in accuracy and operability.

[0010]

In order to achieve this object, a document creating apparatus of the present invention comprises a first dictionary storage unit in which reading information of a plurality of words, word notation and grammatical information are stored. A character string storage unit that stores a character string input from the character input unit; and a second dictionary storage unit that mainly registers and deletes the character string stored in the character string storage unit.
A dictionary reading unit that reads word information corresponding to the input reading character string stored in the character string storage unit from the first dictionary storage unit or the second dictionary storage unit, and the input reading character string stored by the character string storage unit Is converted into a kana-kanji mixed sentence according to the word information read by the dictionary reading part, and a kana-kanji mixed sentence converted by the kana-kanji conversion part is separated by a bunsetsu delimiter and a bunsetsu delimiter. And a phrase segmentation position storage unit that stores the determined position.

[0011]

[Function] With this structure, words that appear repeatedly in a sentence,
Compound words, even short sentences consisting of several clauses, are registered in advance in the dictionary with corresponding headwords, and Kana-Kanji conversion is performed by entering the headwords into the desired Kanji or Kana-Kanji mixed sentences. , When registering a dictionary, you can register a conversion candidate that can be replaced with the phrase in the phrase that the user arbitrarily determines for the registered conversion sentence.
In the above kana-kanji conversion, an appropriate candidate can be selected from among several conversion candidates registered in each clause of the registered sentence at the same time as the conversion into the registered converted sentence.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the document creating apparatus of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of this embodiment. In FIG. 1, 1 is a character string input unit, 2 is a character string storage unit that stores the character string input by the character input unit 1, and various buffers used for character input, display, Kana-Kanji conversion, dictionary registration, etc. Etc. are formed. Reference numeral 3 is a first dictionary storage unit that stores reading information of a plurality of words, word notation, grammatical information, and the like.
It stores kana headwords, word stems corresponding to the kana, and inflections and endings added to the stems, and outputs the corresponding kanji or kana-kanji mixed sentences by supplying kana sentences. Reference numeral 4 denotes a second dictionary storage unit whose main purpose is to allow registration and deletion of character strings stored in the character string storage unit 2,
The kana headword registered in the dictionary, the corresponding conversion sentence, and the conversion candidates for each clause are stored, and the corresponding conversion sentence is output by supplying the kana sentence. Reference numeral 6 is a dictionary reading unit for reading word information corresponding to the input reading character string stored in the character string storage unit 2 from the first dictionary storage unit 3 or the second dictionary storage unit 5, and 5 is a character string storage unit 2. A kana-kanji conversion unit that converts the stored input reading character string into a kana-kanji mixed sentence based on the word information read by the dictionary reading part 6, and converts the input kana sentence to a kanji or kana-kanji mixed sentence. When a kanji or kana-kanji mixed sentence is output and displayed, it is also operated to call another homophone meaning word when it is not the intended kanji. Reference numeral 7 is a phrase delimiter that divides the kana-kanji mixed sentence converted by the kana-kanji conversion unit 6 into an arbitrary length, and instructs the setting of an arbitrary phrase delimiter position for the kana-kanji mixed sentence registered at the time of dictionary registration. It is also used to instruct which phrase to register when registering a conversion candidate for each phrase. Reference numeral 8 is a phrase break position storage unit that stores the positions separated by the phrase break unit 7.

With respect to the document creating apparatus having the above-described components, the mutual relationship between the components and the operation thereof will be described below.

First, the entry word is registered. From the character string input unit 1, a kana sentence of an entry word corresponding to a kanji or kana-kanji mixed sentence registered in the dictionary is input. This kana sentence is stored in the character string storage unit 2, and when the entry of the entry word is completed (given a predetermined completion instruction), it is sent to the second dictionary storage unit 4 and stored therein. FIG. 2 shows an example in which the entry word is input as “greeting”.

Then, the conversion sentence by the entry word is registered. From the character string input unit 1, input the kana to read, which is a kana-kanji mixed kana to be registered. This Kana sentence is stored in the character string storage unit 2, and then the conversion sentence corresponding to this Kana input is read from the first dictionary storage unit 3 by the dictionary reading unit 6 based on an instruction from the Kana-Kanji conversion unit 5.
It is sent to and stored in the second dictionary storage unit 4.

The conversion sentence to be registered is generally a special word such as a compound word, an idiom, or a short sentence composed of a plurality of clauses. Therefore, the kana-kanji conversion unit 5 is divided into several times.
Is converted by the dictionary reading unit 5 using the first dictionary storage unit 3, and one registered conversion sentence is obtained by the combination. An example of this is shown in Figure 2, "Thank you for your continued prosperity."

Next, regarding a certain clause in this conversion sentence,
When additionally registering a phrase having a different expression that makes sense even if it is replaced as a conversion candidate for the phrase, set a phrase delimiter position. First, the conversion sentence is divided into arbitrary clauses by the clause separator 7. For example, as shown in the example in Fig. 3, when you additionally register "your company Masmasu" as a conversion candidate for the phrase "Masmasu", the phrase breaker 7 will be used to add a phrase break between "Masasumasu" and "Goseiei". Put in. At this time, the second
The phrase segmentation position information (corresponding to INF2 in FIG. 4) set in the registered conversion sentence stored in the dictionary storage unit 4 is inserted. The phrase break position information is stored in the phrase break position storage unit 8. It is preferable that the bunsetsu delimiter position information is marked by displaying a vertical line between bunsetsu.
Similarly, the phrase conversion unit 7 divides the registered conversion sentence into several phrases. Finally, a conversion candidate is registered for each delimited clause. For example, the first clause of this conversion sentence, FIG.
Input a kana sentence that is a conversion candidate of a phrase corresponding to "masumasu" in, and input a target conversion candidate by the kana-kanji conversion unit 5. In this example, it is “Your company Masurumasu”. Furthermore, when it is desired to add a different conversion candidate to the same phrase, for example, "your company one layer", the same kana sentence as described above is continuously input, and the kana-kanji conversion unit 5 inputs the conversion candidate.

In this way, when the creation of the conversion candidate in the first phrase is completed (given a predetermined completion instruction), the conversion candidate to be additionally registered is based on the phrase delimiter position information and the first phrase of the registered conversion sentence. It is inserted between the conversion candidate and the second phrase. Conversion candidate delimiter information (corresponding to INF1 in FIG. 4) is inserted as a mark between the conversion candidates to be inserted.

As described above, the conversion candidates to be added are also input for the second and subsequent clauses. If it is not necessary to add a conversion candidate for each clause, skip to the next clause without entering it.

In this way, when the creation of the conversion sentence in which some conversion candidates are prepared for each clause is completed (given a predetermined completion instruction), this conversion sentence is stored in the second dictionary storage unit 4 with the entry word " It is stored in correspondence with "Greetings".

In FIG. 4, as the headword "Greetings", "Thank you for your continued patronage." Is registered, and "Your company Masmasu" and "Your company" are candidates for conversion of the first clause "Masmasu". "," Goseisho "and" Mitakamori "are added as conversion candidates for the second clause" Goseiei ", and" I am grateful "is added as a conversion candidate for the fourth clause" I am glad. " The example registered is shown.

Next, the procedure for creating a document will be described. First, when an entry word is input from the character string input unit 1, it is stored in the character string storage unit 2. This kana sentence is given a conversion instruction by the kana-kanji conversion unit 5. In response to this instruction, the entry word is sent to the second dictionary storage unit 4. That is, the second
The dictionary storage unit 4 is prioritized over the first dictionary storage unit 3, and searches for the entry word input from the second dictionary storage unit 4. Then, if this entry word is not found in the second dictionary storage unit 4, the first dictionary storage unit 3 is searched next.

When the entry word is detected in the search of the second dictionary storage unit 4, for example, when "greeting" is input in the above example, the entry word "greeting" is present in the second dictionary storage unit 4. , This will be detected.

The conversion sentence corresponding to this heading word "greeting" is "I am more than happy and happy" in the second dictionary storage unit 4, so this conversion sentence is stored as a character string. The data is read out to the section 2 and displayed on the display device.
If the target conversion sentence is not this conversion sentence and is, for example, the Chinese character “greeting”, the kana-kanji conversion unit 5 moves the search to the first dictionary storage unit 3 to obtain the target Chinese character “greeting”. be able to.

In the above conversion operation, when converting to the above-mentioned conversion sentence "I am more than happy to say that I am more and more Kiyoei." If you want to replace it, the phrase separator 7
Specify the phrase to be replaced by. Then, a display (for example, an underline display) that serves as a mark is made to the phrase. At the same time, the conversion candidates for this phrase are read from the second dictionary storage unit 4 to the character string storage unit 2, and the conversion sentence newly formed by replacing the character string of the phrase is displayed on the display device. According to this example, "Miseisho" additionally registered in the second clause is replaced with "Miyoei". When further conversion is required, the next conversion candidate “Mitakamori” is read out by the same operation, and “Miseisho” is read.
Is displayed instead of.

When it is desired to replace with another conversion candidate registered for another phrase, the target conversion sentence can be displayed on the display device by repeating the above operation. In FIG. 2, the entry word “greeting” is input, and the second dictionary storage unit 4 converts the kana-kanji characters,
An example is shown in which the second clause "Goseiei" is converted into "Miraimori" and output.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the phrase delimiter that delimits the conversion sentence to an arbitrary length, the phrase demarcation position storage unit that stores the demarcation position, and the conversion candidates that can be replaced for each demarcated phrase. Since the second dictionary storage unit for storing the corresponding headword is stored, the optimum candidate is selected from the conversion candidates registered for each delimited clause in the conversion sentence for Kana-Kanji conversion. be able to.

[0028]

As is apparent from the above embodiments, according to the present invention, when a frequently used kanji or kana-kanji mixed sentence is registered in a dictionary together with a corresponding entry word, the kanji or kana-kanji mixed sentence is arbitrarily lengthed. Since it has a means for registering some conversion candidates that can be exchanged for each separated clause into a dictionary,
When performing kana-kanji conversion using headwords, the basic process is to easily convert to kanji or kana-kanji mixed sentences, and the optimal candidate is selected from among several conversion candidates registered for each segment. By substituting each phrase, it is possible to convert one entry word into a variety of combinations of kanji or kana-kanji mixed sentences,
Further, since the conventional frequent editing work is unnecessary, it is possible to provide a document creating apparatus capable of performing accurate, high-speed and efficient conversion processing.
