[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a word attribute registration processing method in a document processing system for processing to register a word attribute corresponding to word information of a dictionary included in the document processing system, and particularly, to enable a word attribute registration to be performed easily and accurately. The present invention relates to a word attribute registration processing method in a document processing system.

In recent years, document processing systems such as translation processors and word processors are configured to have a sentence revision mechanism, and to perform document processing such as translation processing of documents to be processed and Japanese conversion processing. ing. In order to realize such a sentence revision mechanism, it is necessary to register various word attributes in the word information of the dictionary provided for executing the sentence processing. Since this word attribute registration process may be performed on the user side, it is necessary to take measures so that it can be executed easily and accurately.

[Conventional technology]

The document processing system has a configuration in which items of word attributes to be registered in the dictionary are managed according to a hierarchical tree structure.

Conventionally, when it is necessary to register a word attribute, the tree structure to be managed is configured to be displayed on the display screen in order from the word attribute item classification positioned at a higher position so that the user can specify it. The item and the word attribute item information located above the word attribute item were processed to be registered in the dictionary. That is, first, a word attribute item of a large category expressed according to the broadest concept is displayed and configured to be designated by the user, and then a word attribute item in the designated large category is placed in a subordinate position. It is configured to display the word attribute item of the classification and prompt the user to specify it, and then display the subordinate word attribute item below the specified word attribute item in the middle classification and prompt the user to specify it. Thus, the processing is performed so as to realize the registration processing of the corresponding word attribute.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

However, in such a conventional technique, since the word attribute items are designated in order according to the hierarchical classification of the tree structure, the number of operations increases and it takes time to register the word attribute. was there. Moreover,
If there is a mistaken designation on the way, it is necessary to return to the first place and re-designate, which causes a problem that the load of registering the word attribute increases.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a word attribute registration processing method that enables simple and accurate execution of the word attribute registration processing in the dictionary of the document processing system.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the principle of the present invention.

In the figure, 1 is a document processing apparatus main body having the present invention, 2 is a man-machine interface provided in the document processing apparatus main body 1, 3 is a man-machine interface pointer means,
Reference numeral 4 denotes a storage device included in the document processing apparatus main body 1, which stores a dictionary 5 required for document processing, 10 denotes an input / output control unit, and a man-machine interface 2
Which executes the display control of the display screen and receives the input processing from the pointer means 3. Reference numeral 11 is a word attribute tree structure management unit, which is word attribute item information assigned to the word information managed by the dictionary 5. According to a tree structure, 12 is a word attribute tree structure display unit, and a part or all of the tree structure of the word attribute items managed by the word attribute tree structure management unit 11 is assigned to the word attribute items. What is displayed on the display screen together with a concrete example of the word information, 13 is a tree structure root detection unit, and a specific word attribute item in the tree structure of the word attribute item displayed on the display screen is displayed by the pointer means 3. When it is pointed, the root information of the tree structure associated with the pointed word attribute item is obtained,
Reference numeral 14 is a word attribute registration unit that registers the word attribute item information specified by the root information detected by the tree structure root detection unit 13 at the word attribute of the corresponding word information in the dictionary 5.

[Action]

In the present invention, when part or all of the tree structure of the word attribute item is displayed on the display screen of the man-machine interface 2 according to the processing of the word attribute tree structure display unit 12, the user becomes the processing target according to the pointer means 3. The tree structure root detection unit will be pointed to while referring to the concrete example of the displayed word attribute item of the word information.
Step 13 performs processing so as to obtain route information from the uppermost word attribute item in the tree structure of the displayed word attribute item to the pointed word attribute item. For example, when the tree structure of the word attribute item as shown in FIG. 2 is displayed on the display screen and the word attribute item of "A111" is pointed by the pointer means 3, the tree structure root detecting unit 13 , "A111" is a word attribute item specified according to the route of "A → A1 → A11 → A111",
When the word attribute item of "A32" is pointed, "A3"
It is detected that "2" is a word attribute item specified according to the route of "A->A3->A32." In this way, when the word attribute item information linked to the word attribute item pointed by the tree structure root detection unit 13 is detected,
The word attribute registration unit 14 ends the word attribute registration processing by registering the obtained word attribute item information in the corresponding word information of the dictionary 5.

As described above, according to the present invention, the user can specify all the word attribute item information that needs to be registered by simply specifying the word attribute item to be finally specified. It is not necessary to update the tree structure of the word attribute items on the screen from the upper classification to the lower classification one by one, and the word attribute can be registered easily and accurately.

〔Example〕

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail according to examples.

As described with reference to FIG. 1, in the present invention, on the display screen of the man-machine interface 2, some or all of the tree structure of the word attribute item to be registered is a word to which the word attribute item is assigned. It is processed so as to be displayed together with a specific example of information.

FIG. 3 shows an example of a tree-structured display screen (hereinafter, referred to as a tree-structured screen) of the word attribute item displayed on the display device. As shown in this figure, in the tree structure screen, the word attribute items expressed according to the broadest concept are displayed as the first classification, and the words expressed under the more specific concept are positioned under the first classification. The attribute items are displayed as the second classification, and the word attribute items located under the second classification and expressed according to a more concrete concept are displayed as the third classification. The word attribute items are displayed so that the relationship between them is clear by connecting a line between the items. In this tree structure screen, it is preferable to display a tree structure related to all the word attribute items that can be registered on one display screen. However, when the number of word attribute items that can be registered is large, it is shown in FIG. As described above, the word attribute item in the designated first classification (in this example, the “space-time area” marked with ■) is used as the root item of the tree structure, and the tree structure derived from the root item is displayed on one display screen. Displaying above does not impair utility.

Then, on the tree structure screen, as shown on the right side of FIG. 3, it is easy to understand the meaning of the word attribute items (those having no lower word attribute items) corresponding to the leaf items of the tree structure. In order to do so, processing is performed so that specific examples of word information to which those word attribute items are to be assigned are also displayed. For example, the word attribute item “place name” belonging to the third category is displayed as being assigned to the word information such as “Tokyo” or “Shizuoka” as shown in the figure. The word attribute item can be accurately specified according to the display configuration.

FIG. 4 shows a data structure of a tree structure of word attribute items managed to display the tree structure screen. Here, FIG. 4 (a) shows the data content managed by each word attribute item forming the tree structure, and FIG. 4 (b) shows each word by taking the tree structure screen of FIG. 3 as an example. It specifically shows data managed by the attribute item.

As shown in FIG. 4 (a), each word attribute item includes a classification number to which it belongs, connection information indicating a lower word attribute item name connected to itself, and an item number in the classification to which it belongs. Manages the tree structure displayed on the tree structure screen by managing the serial number and the order of [classification number, connection information, first classification item number, second classification item number, third classification item number] Will be configured.
To explain using the specific example of FIG. 4 (b), "space-time area"
Is the item that belongs to the first category, [classification number]
"1" is managed by, and "Location /
"Space", "Position", "Time", "Period" are used to manage them in [Connection Information], and "0" in the first category to which they belong
Since it is the second item, [0] in [1st category item number]
Will be managed. Since the "space-time area" belongs to the first classification, there is no classification item number for the second and third classifications, but it is clear from the beginning [classification number] which classification item number should be followed. Therefore, in this example, “0” is managed.

Next, the word attribute registration processing of the present invention to be executed by the tree structure screen displayed on the display screen will be described in detail according to the flowchart of FIG. 5 executed by the document processing system of the present invention.

When there is a request for registration of word attribute information from the user, the document processing system firstly, as shown in step 1,
The initial screen of the tree structure screen is displayed on the display screen. FIG. 6 shows an example of the initial screen of the tree structure screen displayed at this time. As described with reference to FIG. 3, in the embodiment of the present invention, each word attribute item in the first classification is set as a root item of the tree structure, and a tree structure derived from the root item is set to 1.
Since it is configured to display one tree structure screen, in the process of step 1, one of them is displayed as the initial screen. FIG. 6 shows an example in which the tree structure screen having a tree structure in which "concrete" is the root item is the initial screen.

Next, in step 2, the document processing system determines whether or not the word attribute item in the displayed tree structure is clicked by the mouse (corresponding to the pointer means 3 in FIG. 1). If it is determined in step 2 that the mouse has been clicked, in step 3,
It is determined whether or not the word attribute item of the first category is clicked. When it is determined in step 3 that the word attribute item of the first classification is clicked, in step 4 that follows, the clicked item is the root of the tree structure of the displayed tree structure screen (first classification). It is determined whether the item is a word attribute item corresponding to the item. If it is determined in step 4 that the clicked item is not the word attribute item corresponding to the root item of the tree structure being displayed, the process proceeds to step 5 and the clicked word attribute item is set as the root item. The tree structure screen of the tree structure is displayed on the display screen. In this way, the required tree structure screen among the plurality of tree structure screens prepared corresponding to the number of word attribute items of the first classification is displayed.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step 3 that the clicked item is not the first-class word attribute item, and in step 4 that the clicked item is the root item of the tree structure of the displayed tree structure screen. If it is determined that the word attribute item corresponds to, the process proceeds to step 6 to execute a process of detecting a tree-structure root connecting the clicked word attribute item and the root word attribute item. FIG. 7 shows a detailed flowchart of the processing executed in step 6. This tree root detection process is
It is executed by reversing the tree structure of the word attribute item according to the data structure of FIG. According to the processing of step 6, for example, "current" in the tree structure screen of FIG.
When is clicked with the mouse, the tree-structured root "space-time region-time-current" is detected.

When the tree-structure root related to the clicked word attribute item is detected, the document processing system finally executes step 7
Then, the word attribute item information describing the detected tree structure root is registered as the word attribute information for which an input request has been made, and the processing ends.

In this way, according to the present invention, the user can input the word attribute information only by pointing to the desired word attribute item in the tree structure screen displayed on the display screen.

Various changes can be made to the tree structure screen displayed on the display screen. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, it is effective to adopt a method of limiting what the user can point to to word attribute items corresponding to root items of the tree structure and word attribute items corresponding to leaf items. That's right. That is, when adopting such a tree structure screen configuration, it becomes difficult to point to items having a lower word attribute item such as "time" belonging to the second classification, so that the user can easily specify. become.

Although the illustrated embodiment has been described, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the pointer means is not limited to the mouse, but may be constituted by the cursor means. Moreover, the classification of the tree structure is not limited to three layers.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, according to the present invention, the registration of the word attribute can be easily performed by simply designating the desired word attribute item. Moreover, since the specific example of the word information to which the word attribute item is assigned is displayed, the word attribute can be accurately registered.
