Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a kana-kanji conversion device for converting a character string input in the kana state into a kana-kanji mixed sentence.

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a kana-kanji conversion device has been widely used as a device used for inputting Japanese in various Japanese processing devices including a Japanese word processor.

Generally, there are many homophones in Japanese words. Therefore, when a kana-kanji conversion is performed on the input kana sequence as a result of the kana-kanji conversion, an ordinary kana-kanji conversion device uses one candidate from the homonym synonyms candidates. It is configured to be selected by the person.

As a first conventional example, when the kana-kanji conversion is performed by inputting the kana character string "Taisei" from an input device such as a keyboard, the kana-kanji conversion device displays "1 body posture", "2 daiso", "3 “Retirement”, “4 postures”, and “5 Taisei” are displayed simultaneously on the display device. Here, if the user wants to select "mass" from these homonyms, he or she can press the key corresponding to the number "2" provided on the input device to obtain the desired candidate. You can

In the second conventional example, as in the first conventional example, when the kana-kanji conversion is performed by inputting a kana character string "Taisei" from an input device such as a keyboard and performing kana-kanji conversion,
First, the "position" is displayed on the display device. If this "position" is not the desired notation, the user presses a specific key to display "large" on the display device, and by repeatedly pressing this key, the display device displays "recede". , "Position", "Taishi" are displayed one after another. Therefore, when the desired notation is displayed, the user can obtain the notation by pressing the confirmation key.

Also, in general, the orthography is not defined in Japanese, so
There are multiple notations with different "sentences" for one word (hereinafter, abbreviated as "notation fluctuation").
There is. In the conventional kana-kanji conversion device, even when there is such a fluctuation in the notation, the desired notation can be selected in the same manner as when there is a homonym as described above. For example, if there are six candidates for the string "Uchikomu" of Kana, "Drive", "Drive", "Drive", "Shoot", "Shoot", and "Shoot", The user may select the desired candidate from these candidates.

As mentioned above, there are some typographical fluctuations in Japanese, but when creating a document for personal use, the user may freely select the notation at his own discretion. It is extremely unlikely that the existence thereof will cause harmful effects.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the configuration of the first conventional example described above, if there is a fluctuation in the notation, a large display area is required to display all candidates at once, so a narrow display is required. In the kana-kanji device that has only an area, it is necessary to once erase the display of the document being created and display all candidates, and the operation must be temporarily interrupted due to the time required to switch the display, creating a smooth document. It had a problem that it could not be done. In addition, with a kana-kanji conversion device having a large display area, in which candidates are displayed in an area where a document is not displayed, the viewpoint of the user is greatly moved in the display area, which causes a problem of burdening the user. Had.

Further, in the configuration of the second conventional example, when there is a fluctuation in the notation, when the candidates are displayed one by one, the number of candidates may be large and the user may need to operate the conversion key many times. However, there is a problem that not only the creation of a smooth document is interrupted but also a burden is imposed on the user.

MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS The present invention provides a judgment means for judging whether or not there is a plurality of notation data having the same meaning among the notation data for a kana character string and having different sending kana and a sending means having the same meaning. When a plurality of notation data having different kana are displayed, a display means for displaying collectively is provided.

Operation With the above configuration, the notation data with the same meaning are displayed together, so even if there are multiple homonyms that each have multiple sending kana, the user operation can specify the notation data group with the desired meaning. Since it can be divided into an operation to select and an operation to select the notation data of the sending kana to be sought in the notation data group, the number of operations is reduced, and only the notation data with the same meaning but different sending kana is displayed all at once. The number of candidates to be displayed in is reduced, and a large display area is not needed.

Embodiment A kana-kanji conversion device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of a kana-kanji conversion device according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a plurality of kana input means 1a for inputting a kana character string and a desired kana-kanji mixed notation candidate obtained by performing kana-kanji conversion on the input kana-character string. An input character string storage unit for storing a character string of kana (hereinafter, abbreviated as input kana character string) input by the kana input means 1a; Reference numeral 3 denotes a kana-kanji conversion control unit that performs kana-kanji conversion processing on an input kana character string, and 4 stores, for each word, word reading data, notation data including kanji, and part-of-speech of the notation data, Information for storing a plurality of candidates having the same meaning among a plurality of candidates as one group (hereinafter, abbreviated as meaning group information), and notation data selected last time A word storage unit that stores information (hereinafter abbreviated as learning information) indicated by 5 is an output candidate storage unit that stores all candidates for a plurality of notation data obtained by performing Kana-Kanji conversion on an input Kana character string. , 6 are character string discriminating means for discriminating whether or not each of the plurality of candidates stored in the output candidate storage unit 5 is a candidate having the same meaning and which candidate is the notation selected last time, 7 is a character string discriminating means According to the result determined by the means 6, if there are a plurality of candidates having the same meaning group information, that is, having the same meaning, all of those candidates are stored, and if there is only one candidate having the same meaning group information, only that candidate is stored. And a plurality of candidates are stored, the output character string storage unit, which stores the candidate of the notation selected by the user last time among the candidates in distinction from the other candidates, When the input character string storage unit 7 stores one candidate, the candidate is displayed by a normal display method, and when the output character string storage unit 7 stores a plurality of candidates, the previously selected notation This is a display means for displaying all candidates while highlighting only the candidates.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the kana-kanji conversion device of the present embodiment. 9 is a keyboard, 10 is a display device having a cathode ray tube (not shown in the figure), 11 is a central processing unit, 1
2 is a read only memory, 13 is a random access memory, the input means 1 of FIG. 1 is a keyboard 9, the word storage unit 4 is a read only memory 12, the input character string storage unit 2 and the output candidate storage unit 5 and The output character string storage unit 7 is realized by the random access memory 13, and the kana-kanji conversion control unit 3 and the character string discriminating unit 6 allow the central processing unit 11 to interact with the random access memory 13 while the read only memory 12 is being used. It is realized by executing the program stored in.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the structure of the storage area of the word storage unit 14, where 14 is a reading information storage area for storing information on reading of words, 15 is a notation information storage area for storing notation information containing kana-kanji characters, Reference numeral 16 is a part-of-speech information storage area for storing information on the part-of-speech of a word, 17 is a meaning-group information storage area for storing meaning-group information, and 18 is learning for storing information indicating whether or not the notation is the previously selected notation. This is an information storage area.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the structure of the storage area of the output candidate storage unit 5, in which six candidates are stored as a result of kana-kanji conversion for the reading “uchikomu”.

The kana-kanji conversion device of the present embodiment configured as described above will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, in step (a), when the kana character string "Uchikomu" is input from the kana input means 1a, the input character string storage means 2
Stores this character string "Uchikomu".

When the conversion means 1b is operated, in step (a), the kana-kanji conversion control unit 3 takes in the written data of kana-kanji mixed with the input kana character string from the word storage unit 4, and stores the output candidates as shown in FIG. All the candidates for the input kana character string are stored in the section 5.

In step (c), the character string discriminating means 6 causes the output candidate storage unit 5 to operate.
By checking the meaning group information storage area 17 with respect to the plurality of candidates stored in, it is determined whether or not a plurality of candidates are included in one meaning group, that is, whether or not there is a change in writing. If there is only one candidate in one semantic group, that one candidate is stored in the output character string storage unit 7, and the candidate is displayed on the display means 8 in step (f).

For the reading "uchikomu", there are three candidates of "type in", "type in", and "type in" for the first meaning group whose meaning group information is "1". In (d), the character string discriminating means 6 divides the six candidates stored in the output candidate storage unit into meaning groups, and sets them as one data.

Further, in step (e), the character string discriminating means 6 confirms the learning information storage area 18 of the output candidate storage unit 5 so that which notation data is the standard notation data selected last time for each meaning group. It is determined whether or not each candidate is stored in the output character string storage unit 7.

In step (f), the display means 8 displays each meaning group,
All the candidates that are included in the meaning group, “type”, “type”, and “type” are displayed at once, and only the type “type” that was selected last time is highlighted.

If there is no candidate desired by the user among these three candidates and the user operates the conversion means 1b again,
The display means 8 displays "shoot", "shoot", and "shoot" which are candidates belonging to the next meaning group at once and only "shoot" is highlighted.

Here, if the user's desired candidate is the previously selected notation “shoot in”, the user operates the enter key (not shown in the figure) to confirm the string “shoot in”. Captured as data.

Here, if the user's desired candidate is "shoot", the user operates the cursor keys (not shown in the figure) to return "shoot" to the normal display and "shoot". It will be highlighted, and if the cursor key is operated again, the next candidate "shoot" will be highlighted. When the user operates the confirm key here, the character string “shoot in” is captured as confirmed data. At this time, the contents of the learning information storage area 18 are rewritten at the same time, the contents of the learning information storage area 18 corresponding to “shoot in” become “0”, and the contents of the learning information storage area 18 corresponding to “shoot in” become “ 1 ”.

As described above, in the kana-kanji conversion device of this embodiment,
If there is fluctuation in the notation, all candidates belonging to one semantic group are displayed at once, and the previously selected candidate is displayed in reverse video, so the number of candidates displayed at one time is small. It does not require a large amount of display area to display all candidates in the part of the document being created, and if the user presses the Enter key, the previously selected candidates will be imported as confirmed data. When the user selects the other candidate using the cursor key and presses the confirm key, the confirmed data is taken in. Therefore, in normal document creation, the user may operate the converting means 1b by the number of the homonyms. , For example, if it becomes necessary to select the standard notation, you can operate the cursor key to select a candidate of standard sending kana, so you can quickly obtain that candidate, It is possible to create a document of the quasi-notation.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention has a judgment means for judging whether or not there are a plurality of display data having the same meaning and different sending kana among the written data for a kana character string, and a plurality of judging means having the same meaning but different sending kana. When notation data is displayed, it is provided with a display means for displaying all at once, and since notation data having the same meaning is displayed collectively, there are a plurality of homonyms each having a plurality of sending kana. However, the user's operation is to select the notation data group of the desired meaning,
The operation can be divided into operations to select the notation data of the required kana in the notation data group, which reduces the burden on the user and enables smooth document creation. Furthermore, notation data with the same meaning but different kana Since only one batch is displayed, the number of candidates displayed at one time is reduced, a large display area is not required, and candidates can be displayed in the document that is being created, so the user needs to move the viewpoint greatly. It is possible to reduce the fatigue of the eyes of the user.
