DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS First, the overall block diagram of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 will be described in detail. FIG. 1A shows a configuration diagram.

In FIG. 1A, the external storage device 6
Stores the document 7 and the index sheet 8. The dictionary 9 is designed so that kanji can be converted into kana and that when kana has a plurality of kana, a priority can be set for each kana.

The display device 10 is for displaying various data and for displaying data on a screen provided with the screen. FIG. 1B shows an example of the index sheet 8. The index sheet 8 includes an index character string 81, a notation, a reading 82, a page number, a reading flag 83, and a next candidate flag 8.
4 is registered as shown in the figure.

The index character string 81 is a field for setting an index character string designated by the operator on the document displayed on the screen. The notation is a field for setting the notation entered by the operator for the index character string 81. For example, when the index character string 81 is "set attribute", the field "input attribute setting" is input and set.

The reading 82 is a column for searching the dictionary 9 for the index character string 81 and setting the reading. The page number is the page number on the document where the index character string 81 was.

The reading flag 82 is a flag for setting that fact when the dictionary 9 is searched for the search character string 81 and the reading is not found. Next candidate flag 84
Is a flag for setting the search character string 81 when a plurality of readings are found by searching the dictionary 9.

FIG. 1C shows an example of another screen. This is the reading flag 83 on the index sheet 8 of FIG.
Is an example of another screen displayed when is ON or the next candidate flag 84 is ON.

FIG. 1C-1 shows an example of another screen when an index character string whose reading flag 83 is ON is selected. When the reading flag 83 is ON, the index sheet 8 in FIG.
It means that the kanji in the index character string of was not found even when the dictionary 9 was searched.
Is displayed and the reading can be input. When the reading of the index character string is input on this separate screen, the reading is set on the indexing sheet 8 of FIG. 1 (b).

FIG. 1C-2 shows an example of another screen when the index character string whose next candidate flag 84 is ON is selected.
When the next candidate flag 84 is ON, it means that a plurality of readings are found by searching the dictionary 9 for the kanji of the index character string on the index sheet 8 of FIG. When "" is displayed and selected, the reading is set on the index sheet 8 of FIG. 1 (b). If there is no suitable “reading candidate”, the appropriate reading is input in the reading input field.

Next, the operation of the configuration of FIG. 1 will be described in detail according to the order shown in the flowchart of FIG. In FIG. 2, in S1, a document is input. In this case, the input means 2 of FIG. 1 reads the document 7 for which an index is to be created from the external storage device 6 and fetches it.

In step S2, the document is displayed on the edit screen. This displays the document captured in S1 on the screen, for example, as shown in FIG. In S3, one or more index character strings are designated. This is shown in FIG.
Specify the search string enclosed in □ from the document displayed on the screen.

In step S4, the index sheet 8 is created, and the index character string and page are set. This sets the index character string designated in S3 and its page on the index sheet 8 as shown in FIG. 3 (b).

In step S5, it is determined whether all pages have ended. YE
In the case of S, the index sheet 8 is displayed in S6, and the required notation is input (the operator refers to the index character string (for example, "set attribute") set in the index sheet 8 and the required notation ( For example, "attribute setting") is keyed in, and the process proceeds to S 7. On the other hand, in the case of NO in S5, since all pages have not been finished, the process returns to S2 and is repeated.

In step S7, it is determined whether or not the process is finished. If YES, all the index character strings specified in the document are set in the index sheet 8 and the notation is set as necessary.
The process proceeds to the reading retrieval process after S8.

Through the above steps S1 to S7, the index character string designated on the document is set on the index sheet 8 and the notation is input as necessary. In S8, if there is a notation from the index sheet 8, the notation is given, and if not, the index character string 81 is set to 1
Take out one.

In step S9, the dictionary 9 is searched with the index character string.
In S10, it is determined whether or not there is reading by searching in S9. YE
In the case of S, since there was a reading, it is further determined whether there is one reading candidate, and if YES, it is set in the index sheet 8 in S12, and if NO, the priority of the candidate is high in S13. The item is set on the index sheet 8 and the next candidate flag 84 is set on, and the process proceeds to S15. On the other hand, N in S10
In the case of O, since it is determined that there is no reading, the reading flag 83 is set to ON in S14, and the process proceeds to S15.

In step S15, it is determined whether the index character string is the end. In the case of YES, it progresses to S16. If NO, the process returns to S8 and is repeated. By the above S8 to S15, the notation or index character string 81 from the index sheet 8
Is retrieved and the dictionary 9 is searched, and when the reading is not found, the reading flag 83 indicating that is set to ON in S14, and when one reading is found, the reading is set in the search sheet 8 in S12. However, when one or more readings are found, it is possible to set the reading having a high priority in the index sheet 8 in S13 and set the next candidate flag 84 to ON to that effect.

In step S16, a list of index character strings 81 for which the reading flag is on and the next candidate flag is on is displayed. S1
7 selects one index character string.

In step S18, it is determined whether the reading flag is on.
This determines whether the reading flag 83 of the index character string is on and the reading of the index character string 81 is not set. YE
In the case of S, another screen is displayed in S19 ((c-
1) is displayed), the reading is input in the input field, and the process proceeds to S21. On the other hand, in the case of NO, since the reading flag 82 has not been turned on, another screen is displayed in S24 ((c-2) in FIG. 3).
Is displayed), and the next candidate is displayed in S25 (next candidate flag 94
Is ON and it is determined that there are a plurality of readings, so the readings of the plurality of next candidates are displayed), and the reading is input in the next candidate selection or input field in S26, and the process proceeds to S21.

In step S21, the reading frequency is updated. This updates the reading frequency possessed by the dictionary 9 and raises the priority of the selected or input reading. In S22, the index sheet 8 is set.

In step S23, it is determined whether the processing is finished. If YES, the process ends (END). If NO, S17
Return to and repeat. By the above S16 to S23,
A list of index character strings in which the reading flag 83 or the next candidate flag 84 is set to ON is displayed on the index sheet 8 and the reading flag 83 is displayed in response to the operator selecting one of them. When is turned on, an input field for inputting the reading of the index character string is displayed, and the operator is prompted to input the reading and the setting is made on the index sheet 8. on the other hand,
When the reading flag 83 is off and the next candidate flag 84 is on, another reading is displayed and the input field is displayed, and the operator must select an appropriate reading candidate from the displayed reading candidates. For example, enter the appropriate reading in the input field. The selected or input readings are set on the index sheet 8.

FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the present invention. Figure 3
(A) shows an example of a document displayed on the screen. here,
The character string enclosed in □ is specified by the operator who is the index character string. Here, • Circle • Virtual doublet • Basic figure • Attribute setting • Attribute setting is specified as an index character string.

FIG. 3B shows an example of the index sheet.
This corresponds to the operator specifying the character string enclosed in □ from the document displayed on the screen of FIG.
It was created automatically.

(1) In the column of the index character string, (a) of FIG.
The page number is set in the character string and page number fields designated by. (2) With respect to the index character string, the dictionary 9 is searched and the reading is set in the reading column as shown in the figure. At this time, the reading flag 83 is set to ON for the index character string "virtual tablet" for which the reading was not found. In addition, the next candidate flag 8 is added to the index character string "yen" in which plural readings are found.
Set 4 to ON.

FIG. 3C shows an example of the reading input / candidate selection screen. This is displayed as a separate screen when the operator selects an index character string whose flag (reading flag 83, next candidate flag 84) is on.

FIG. 3C-1 shows the case where the index character string with the reading flag 83 turned on is selected. In this case,
Since the reading flag 83 is on and the reading of the index character string was not found even when the dictionary 9 was searched, an input field for inputting the reading is displayed, and the operator is prompted to input the reading in this input field. When the reading is entered in the input field, the reading is set in the corresponding reading field of the index character string in FIG.

FIG. 3C-2 shows the case where the index character string whose next candidate flag 84 is ON is selected. In this case, the next candidate flag 84 is turned on, and it has been found that a plurality of readings of the index character string are found by searching the dictionary 9, so that the reading of the next candidate is displayed. Well 2. Maru 3. Display Madoka and the input field. If there is an appropriate reading among the next candidates, select it and select the index sheet 8
Set to. On the other hand, when there is no appropriate reading in the next candidates, the operator inputs the appropriate reading from the input field and sets the reading on the index sheet 8.

[0040]

As described above, according to the present invention,
The specified index character string 82 is taken out from the taken-in document and set in the index sheet 8, and the dictionary 9 is searched in the case of kanji and the reading 82 and the next candidate having a high priority when there are plural readings The flag 84 is set to ON, the reading flag 83 is ON, and the next candidate flag 84 is set.
Display the list of index character strings 81 for which is on and select 1 from the next candidates.
Since a configuration is adopted in which one is selected or one of the readings is input and set in the index sheet 8, a document index can be created easily and without error. As a result, the work of manually inputting the reading of the index character string by manual input can be eliminated, the reading can be automatically set, the time for index creation can be shortened, and input mistakes can be eliminated.
