Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a document preparing method which is good in operability. CONSTITUTION:When a character string which is inputted in the same input mode as a set input mode with a different character kind is converted for a set character kind and the set input mode, the inputted character string is converted into an alphanumeric character string, which is then converted into a character string of the set input mode. Characters which are inputted in wrong character input mode can be converted into correct characters without being deleted and reinputted, thereby lightening the burden on the user.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document preparation device such as a word processor for preparing a document by using kana-kanji conversion, and more particularly to character correction during input for conversion into kanji-kana mixed sentence.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a document processing apparatus such as a word processor, when inputting a kana-kanji character when creating a kanji-kana mixed sentence, first, a character mode key (Hiragana, Katakana, alphanumeric) assigned to a keyboard is used. Press the key etc.) to set the character input mode for inputting, and then input the appropriate character. Generally, when creating a document, this character input mode switching frequently occurs,
It is easy to forget to switch the character input mode and enter characters by mistake.

If a character for Kana-Kanji conversion is input in the wrong character input mode, correction processing will not be performed for the character already input, even if the character input mode is changed, and the subsequent input characters will be used. Only valid.

As a correction method in the case where the character input mode is mistakenly input in this way, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 60-2003.
As shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 60, when entering Japanese with Kana characters, you can use the Hiragana / Katakana conversion key to enter the wrong Hiragana or Katakana character string in the mode you have already entered. There is a method that allows only changes.

[0005]

However, in such a conventional method, only the character type is changed such that the Hiragana character string being input is converted into a Katakana character string or the Katakana character string is converted into a Hiragana character string. Yes, there is no other way that cannot be done by changing the character type, for example, there is no known correction method when inputting in "Hiragana input mode" by mistake even though the mode is set in "Romaji Hiragana input mode". Was used instead.

One of the methods is to delete all the characters that have already been input, change the character input mode to an appropriate mode, and then input the character again. In the above method, the operator is always aware of the character input mode. To enter characters,
This imposes a burden on the operator and hinders smooth document creation. As described above, the conventional method has a problem in that it is not possible to change the character type and lacks consideration for the correction operation of the character being input.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a document creating method with good operability which solves the problems of the conventional method.

[0008]

The features of the present invention are: an input device for inputting kana characters, alphanumeric characters, etc. to be converted into kana-kanji characters; and a kana character, alphanumeric characters, etc. input from the input device are stored. In the document creation device consisting of the storage device, the display device that visually displays the input kana characters and alphanumeric characters, etc., and the control device that controls these, for the set character type and input mode , When converting a character string input in a different character type and in the same input mode as the set input mode, after converting the input character string into an alphanumeric character string, It is to convert it to a character string.

[0009]

[Effect] For example, if you accidentally enter "Bonshosakusei" in "Romaji hiragana input mode" and enter "Konamimi tora tochinonitoni" in "Hiragana input mode", it will be converted to "bunnsyosakusei", After that, it will be converted into "bushshosakusei".

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing an embodiment of the processing procedure using this document creating apparatus, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the document creating apparatus according to the present invention.

In FIG. 2, reference numeral 1 is a control device constituted by using a CPU, which controls execution control such as correction of input characters, and 2 is a reading or alphanumeric character which is a target of kana-kanji conversion, or An input device for inputting control instructions, 3 is a random access memory for holding a created document or a program for inputting, editing, display control of Japanese, control information, etc. 4 is input kana characters And a conversion control unit for correcting alphanumeric characters into characters input in another character mode, 5 is a storage device for storing a created document, programs and data, a conversion table, and the like, and 6 is an alphabet spelling Roman characters Is a Roman character conversion control unit for converting Kana into kana, 7 is a display device for visually displaying the input characters and the editing state, and 8 is a printing device for printing the created document.

FIG. 3 shows a key arrangement of a keyboard which is an example of the input device 2 for inputting characters or for giving a control instruction in FIG.

Reference numeral 201 denotes a "alphanumeric / kana character" key for inputting characters to be converted into a kanji / kana mixed sentence, which is a JIS-compliant kana keyboard. Reference numeral 202 denotes an “input character correction” instruction key for instructing to correct a character input in the wrong character input mode to a character input in another character input mode, and 203 selects the processing content of the input character mode to be corrected It is a group of "select" keys to

Next, the processing contents will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The control process of FIG. 1 is started by inputting the “input character correction” key 202 of the input device 3. The character being input is stored in the buffer for storing the character being input (hereinafter referred to as the input character storage buffer) 501 of the random access memory 3 shown in FIG. Is displayed on the display device 7 as 906 in FIG.

First, when the "correct input character" key 202 is pressed, it is checked whether there is a character currently being input (100). The check method refers to, for example, an input character management pointer (hereinafter, referred to as Pa) of the random access memory 3 indicating a position where the input character is stored in the input character storage buffer.

If there is no character to be corrected (Pa = 0
When the correction process cannot be executed, an abnormal sound is output as the abnormal process (111), and the control process ends.

If there is at least one input character to be corrected (Pa ≧ 1), the content for instructing which mode the input character is to be corrected to the input character is selected, for example, as shown in FIG. No. 90 is displayed on the display device 7 (101), and the key input from the input device 2 is accepted (102).

The key information input from the input device 2 is determined (103), and if it is a control key other than the selection key group 203, this control process is terminated. If the input key information is the selection key group 203, the instruction to correct the character being input is “Hiragana” 903 in the matrix 90 shown in FIG.
It is determined whether the key is a corresponding key or a "katakana" 904 corresponding key (104), and if the information of the selection key group 203 is other than the corresponding key, the process proceeds to a process (105) described later.

If the information of the selection key group 203 is the corresponding key, if the input character is a "Hiragana" character, it is a "Katakana" character, and if it is a "Katakana" character, it is a "Hiragana" character.
Correct to letters. Also, the "alphanumeric" character entered in the "alphanumeric" mode by mistake when inputting in the "hiragana" or "katakana" mode is corrected to the "hiragana" or "katakana" character (30).

Hiragana / Katakana correction processing (3
The operation (0) will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, in the initial value setting process (701), a pointer (hereinafter referred to as Pb) for managing the extraction / storing position of the converted character in the random access memory 3 is associated with kana and alphanumeric characters shown in FIG. "1" is set to the pointer (hereinafter, referred to as Pc) for searching the table (hereinafter, referred to as kana-alphanumeric conversion table). Further, the character stored in the input character storage buffer is converted, and the buffer for storing the converted character shown in 502 of FIG.
The conversion character storage buffer) is cleared by, for example, NULL.

Next, the character input mode at the time of character input shown in 905 of FIG. 4 is checked (702), and if it is the "alphanumeric" mode input, the process proceeds to step 704.

In the above checking process, the characters entered in a character input mode other than the "alphanumeric" mode are changed in character type (7
In 03), for example, if there is a Hiragana character such as "konpyutagurafikku" stored in the input character storage buffer, the katakana character of "computer graphic" is entered by pressing the "katakana" 904-compatible key, or
If it is a katakana character called "Karehagakkouheitta", press the "Hiragana" 903-compatible key to correct it to the Hiragana character "Karehagakkouheta", and after this process, display the corrected character. Redisplay on device 7 (11
0) End the process.

When changing the character type, for example, the ward code defined in JIS C6226 (Hiragana: 4 wards, Katakana:
It can be realized by replacing (5 wards).

If an alphanumeric string is entered in the "alphanumeric" mode when it should be entered in the "hiragana" or "katakana" mode by mistake, then Pb of the input character storage buffer is used.
It is determined whether the character at the position indicated by and the character indicated by Pc in the alphanumeric table of the kana-alphanumeric conversion table are the same (704).

As a result of the judgment, if the characters are different, Pc is increased by "1" (711), and it is judged whether or not the search of the kana-alphanumeric table is completed (712). If the search is not completed, the process proceeds to step 704. If the search is completed, the character at the position indicated by Pb in the input character storage buffer is stored in the position indicated by Pb in the converted character storage buffer (713) and the process proceeds to process 709. .

If the result of the determination is that the characters are the same, it is determined whether the selection key group 203 is a "Hiragana" 903 compatible key or a "Katakana" 904 compatible key (70).
5). As a result of the determination, if the key corresponds to “Hiragana” 903,
The character at the position indicated by Pc in the Hiragana table 802 is stored in the position indicated by Pb in the converted character storage buffer (70
6) If the key corresponds to "katakana" 904, the character at the position indicated by Pc in the katakana table 803 is stored at the position indicated by Pb in the converted character storage buffer (707).

Next, an initial value "1" is set in Pc (7
08) and increase Pb by "1" (709). It is judged whether all the characters in the input character storage buffer have been converted (Pa ≦ Pb) (710). When the conversion processing is completed, the characters in the converted character storage buffer are output to the input character storage buffer ( 714) After this processing is finished, the corrected characters are displayed again on the display device 7 (110), and this control main processing is finished.

If the conversion processing is not completed, the processing 704
Then, the conversion process is continued for the next character.

By this processing, when the characters to be input in "Katakana" are input in "Hiragana", on the contrary, the characters to be input in "Hiragana" are input in "Katakana". Seed corrections, eg "Hiragana"
If you mistakenly enter "America" in the mode and enter it in the "alphanumeric" mode, the display device 7 displays "3 /
The input character "1t" is displayed. As described above, the characters “3 / 1t” that have already been input can be easily corrected to “Amerika” in the “Hiragana” mode that was originally input.

If the selection key group 203 is other than the "Hiragana" 903 compatible key and the "Katakana" 904 compatible key, the character being input is converted into an alphabetic character string (105).
Convert to an alphanumeric string with. Here, the character string conversion process (10
The operation 5) will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, in the initial value setting process (601), Pb,
Set "1" to Pc. Also, "0" is set in RC and the converted character storage buffer is cleared by NULL.

Next, the character type of the character indicated by Pb in the input character storage buffer is determined (602), and in the case of hiragana, the character at the position indicated by Pc in the hiragana table 802 of the kana-alphanumeric conversion table is randomly selected. Set it in the character work area 503 in the access memory 3 (60
4) In the case of katakana, the character at the position indicated by Pc in the katakana table 803 of the kana-alphanumeric conversion table is set in the character work area 503 (605). If the character type is other than Hiragana or Katakana, the character at the position indicated by Pb in the input character storage buffer is converted into Pb in the converted character storage buffer.
Is set at the position indicated by (603), and the process proceeds to step 609.

If the character at the position indicated by Pb in the input character storage buffer is hiragana or katakana, it is determined whether it is the same as the character stored in the character work area 503 (606).

As a result of the judgment, if the characters are different, Pc is increased by "1" (611), it is judged whether the search of the kana-alphanumeric conversion table is completed (612), and the table search must be completed. If so, the process proceeds to process 602. If there is no matching character in the kana-alphanumeric conversion table as a result of the determination, "1" is set in RC as the information indicating abnormal termination (613), and the process is terminated.

If the character indicating Pb of the input character storage buffer is the same as the character stored in the character work area 503, the alphabet table 8 of the kana-alphanumeric conversion table.
The alphanumeric character at the position indicated by Pc of 01 is set at the position indicated by Pb in the conversion character storage buffer (607), and after the initial value "1" is set in Pc (608), Pb is increased by "1" (609). ).

It is judged whether all the characters in the input character storage buffer have been converted (Pa≤Pb) (61).
0), if the conversion process is completed, this process is ended, the process proceeds to the process (106) described later, and if the conversion process is not completed, the process proceeds to process 602, and the conversion process is continued for the next character.

By executing this processing, for example, in the "Romaji Hiragana" mode, the place where "Honsemoto based (1)" should be mistakenly input as "Hiragana".
When inputting in the mode, the character "Kurami and Niranami Minara Karana Shiranai Yunuyo" is stored in the input character storage buffer. The characters in the input character storage buffer are stored in the converted character storage buffer as "honnsiyounimotoduki".
(1)] can be converted into an alphanumeric string and stored.

Next, the end result (RC) of the alphabetic character string conversion process (105) is checked (106), and if RC = 1 (abnormal end), the abnormal process (113) is executed, and as described above. An abnormal sound is output and the conversion control process ends.

When RC = 0 (normal end), for example, the above-mentioned "honnsi" is stored in the converted character storage buffer.
"younimotoduki (1)" is passed to the Roman character conversion processing (20) to convert from the alphanumeric string to the Roman character spelled Hiragana character "Honsho Momotoki (1)" and stored again in the converted character storage buffer.

Next, the key information of the selection key sentence 203 is judged (107), and an instruction to correct the character being input is 9 in FIG.
If the key corresponds to the “Roman character hiragana” 901 in the matrix shown in 0, the characters in the converted character storage buffer are output to the input character storage buffer (109), and “Romaji Katakana” 9
If it is a 02 compatible key, the hiragana characters in the converted character storage buffer are changed in type and changed to katakana characters (108), and then output to the input character storage buffer (10
9) Then, the contents of the input character storage buffer are re-displayed on the display device 7 (110), and this control process is terminated.

By this control processing, "Romaji Hiragana" is displayed.
Even if you mistakenly enter the characters that should be entered in the mode or "Romaji Katakana" mode in the "alphanumeric" mode, you can easily correct the entered alphanumeric characters to "Hiragana" or "Katakana" characters.
