DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT A preferred embodiment of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the schematic arrangement of the document processing system according to the first embodiment of the present invention. This document processing system includes a central processing unit 1 that controls the entire system.
And a storage device 2 for storing document data and various data,
It has a keyboard 3 operated by an operator for inputting various commands and data, and a display device 4 which is composed of, for example, a CRT or liquid crystal and which displays document data, graphic data, and the like. Reference numeral 3a is a delete key provided on the keyboard 3.

FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing a conversion character string deleting process in the document processing system of the first embodiment. This process is executed in accordance with a control program stored in the central control unit 1. The process of this embodiment includes a key input process (step S1), a process of determining whether the input key is the delete key 3a (step S2), and a delete key 3
When it is a, a process of determining a conversion character string (step S
3), a process of changing the attribute of the converted character string (step S4), a process of moving the cursor 6 (FIG. 3) on the screen (step S5), and a key input process other than the delete key 3a (step S6). ) And a character deletion process (step S7) for deleting only the character designated by the cursor 6 when it is not a converted character string.

Next, the operation of the Japanese input front-end processor editing system of the present embodiment thus constructed will be described with reference to the concrete example of FIG.

First, when the delete key 3a of the keyboard 3 (which means a predetermined specific key for deleting a character string designated by the cursor. The same applies hereinafter), the process proceeds from step S2 to step S3. In step S3, the attribute of the target character string to be deleted is the converted character string (undetermined)
If the attribute of the character string to be deleted is the converted character string, the process proceeds to step S4, and the attribute of the converted character string designated by the cursor 6 is changed. And step S5
Then, the cursor 6 is moved to the first character of the character string that has been designated until then. In this way, after the cursor 6 is moved, the process returns to step S1 and the next key input from the keyboard 3 is acquired.

Here, when the delete key 3a is pressed again, the process proceeds to step S3, this time because the character string designated by the cursor 6 is not the converted character string (the attribute was changed in the previous step S4. Therefore, the process proceeds to step S7, and the character designated by the cursor 6 is deleted.
Then, the process returns to step S1.

When a key other than the delete key 3a is pressed in step S2, the process proceeds to step S6, and character data is input, the cursor is moved (cursor move key 3b), etc. according to the entered key code. Processing is performed and it returns to step S1.

When performing an editing operation based on such an input key to delete the conversion character string designated by the cursor 6 on the screen 5 of the display device 4 as shown in FIG. 3A, for example, Think In the state of FIG. 3A, the keyboard 3
When the delete key 3a is pressed, it is determined that the attribute of the character string designated by the cursor 6 is a converted character string (step S3). At this time, in step S4, the attribute of the character string is changed to a character attribute that allows the cursor 6 to be moved character by character. Then, in step S5, the cursor 6 is positioned at the leading character "groove" of the character string "to the groove mouth" that has been designated as the deletion target. This Figure 3
When the delete key 3a of the keyboard 3 is pressed in the state of (b), it is determined that the key input in step S2 is the delete key 3a, and the attribute of the character string designated by the cursor 6 is converted in step S3. It is determined that it is not a character string. In this way, the process proceeds to step S7, and as shown in FIG. 3C, the character "groove" designated by the cursor 6 is deleted in step S7.

If the input key is a key other than the delete key 3a, it is determined in step S2 that the input key is not the delete key 3a, character data is input, and the cursor movement key 3b is pressed. At this time, key input processing such as movement of the cursor 6 is performed and the process returns to step S1. Therefore, in the state of FIG. 3B, by pressing the cursor movement key 3b of the keyboard 3 to move the cursor 6 to the character position to be deleted, and then pressing the delete key 3a, only the desired character of the converted character string is displayed. Can be deleted.

As described above, according to the first embodiment,
Even when the character string to be deleted is a conversion character string, there is an effect that the attribute of the character string is changed and any character of the conversion character string can be deleted.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the second embodiment, a kana-kanji conversion method capable of excluding a part of the kana-character string corresponding to the input reading from the kana-kanji conversion target will be described. Although the configuration of the document processing system of the second embodiment is almost the same as the configuration of FIG. 2 described above, the keyboard 3 has an enter key 3c and a conversion start key 3d.
Is provided.

In FIG. 4, first, when the confirm key 3c of the keyboard 3 (a specific key predetermined for setting the confirm input mode; hereinafter the same) is pressed, the process proceeds from step S12 to step S13. In step S13, it is determined whether the fixed input mode is set or released. If the fixed input mode is set, the process proceeds to step S14. In step S14, the fixed input mode is released. Then, the process proceeds to step S15, and the input character attribute of the input character string input while the finalized input mode is set is set as the finalized input. That is, the input character string is stored as a confirmed character string. Then, the process returns to step S11 and waits for the next key input from the keyboard 3.

In step S13, if the fixed input mode has been released, the process proceeds to step S16 to set the fixed input mode. Then, the process proceeds to step S11 to wait for the next key input.

In step S11, when the conversion start key 3d of the keyboard 3 (a specific key predetermined for performing kana-kanji conversion, the same applies below) is pressed, the process proceeds from step S12 to step S17. It is determined whether or not the conversion start key 3d of No. 3 is pressed. When the conversion start key 3d is pressed, the process proceeds to step S18, and the character string of the input character string whose input character attribute is set as a normal input character (means that it is a target of kana-kanji conversion). Kana-to-Kanji conversion is performed only for Kana-to-Kanji conversion. Then, in step S19, the character string indicating the result of Kana-Kanji conversion and the character string determined by the input character are displayed on the display screen 5 of the display device 4.

Further, in step S11, it means a character key from the keyboard 3 (a key (a kana key, an alphanumeric key, etc. which is predetermined for inputting a character).
If the same applies below) is input, the process proceeds to step S20 via steps S12 and S17, and it is determined whether a character key has been input. If it is a character key input, step S
In step 21, the input character attribute of the input character that has been input is set to normal input (target of kana-kanji conversion) and step S19.
Proceed to and display the input characters. After displaying the character string in this way, the process returns to step S11 to wait for the next key input.

Further, in step S11, the confirmation input key 3
When a key other than c, the conversion start key 3d, and the character key is input, the process proceeds to step S22, and a process corresponding to the input key is executed. Here, for example, the cursor is moved by pressing the cursor movement key 3b or the like.

By executing the character input method as described above, for example, as shown in FIG. 5A, the fixed input key 3c is input from the keyboard 3 during the character input in the state where the fixed input mode is released. Then, it is determined that the key input in the determination of step S12 is the confirmed input key. Next, it is determined in step S13 that the confirmed input mode has been canceled, the confirmed input mode is set in step S16, the process returns to step S11, and the process proceeds to the next key input acquisition process. With this, the character string input thereafter is the character string input in the fixed input mode.

Next, when a character key is input from the keyboard 3, it is determined in step S20 that it is a character key. Next, in step S21, the input character attribute of the input character is set to normal input, and in step S19,
The input character “A” is added and displayed on the screen 5 of the display device 4. Repeat these operations, and
By inputting "ri" or "ka", the state shown in FIG.

When the confirm input key 3c of the keyboard 3 is pressed again after the key input as shown in FIG. 5B, the process proceeds from step S12 to step S13, and it is determined that the confirm input mode is set. It Then, in step S14, the fixed input mode is released,
In 15, the character attribute of the character string “Amerika” input by the character key while the fixed input mode is set is set as the fixed character string.

Then, when the conversion start key 3d of the keyboard 3 is pressed, it is determined in step S17 that the input key is the conversion start key 3d. Then, the process proceeds to step S18, where the kana-kanji conversion is performed only on the character string "Kare no Saku Himmeiha" in which the input character attribute of the input character string is set as normal input. Then, the converted character string "his work name is" and the character string "Amerika" set as the character string whose input character attribute is fixed are displayed as shown in FIG. 5 (c). It is displayed on the display screen 5 of the device 4. Then, the process returns to step S11 to wait for the next key input. In this way, the input character string input while the fixed input mode is set is displayed on the display screen 5 without Kana-Kanji conversion, and the other character strings are displayed as the Kana-Kanji converted character string. be able to.

As described above, according to the second embodiment,
You can freely set the characters to be converted or not to be converted, so you can enter characters that you want to convert and characters that you do not want to convert, and only convert the characters that you want to convert. There is an effect that can be converted.

The present invention may be applied to a system composed of a plurality of devices or an apparatus composed of a single device. Further, it goes without saying that the present invention can also be applied to the case where it is achieved by supplying a program for implementing the present invention to a system or an apparatus.

[0032]

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to easily delete a desired character in a character string converted into Kana-Kanji.

According to another invention, there is an effect that only a desired portion of the input character string can be converted into Kana-Kanji characters.
