Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a font conversion method for converting a font of a Chinese character when a document is created by a Japanese document creator into a specified font.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems] Traditionally, when a document is created using a Japanese document creation device, the kanji used is the kanji character described in the JIS kanji code (common kanji character form). ) Was used to create the document. Therefore, the Kangxi scripture (Kanhee 55
In the past, when creating a document containing the fonts of the kanji described in the Chinese encyclopedia, such as Zhang Jingyo, etc., the above document was printed and used as it was, unless there were restrictions on the use of kanji. However, for example, if there is a Kanji usage restriction that only regular Kanji can be used, correct the Kanji characters in the Kanji character list in the document to the Kanji characters listed in the JIS Kanji code, and then print the document. However, there is a drawback that it takes time and effort to create a document.

[Object of the Invention] In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, an object of the present invention is to provide a font conversion method for a Japanese document creation apparatus capable of automatically converting the font of a Chinese character into a specified font when creating a document. To hire.

[Summary of the Invention] The present invention relates to one in which character code information expanded corresponding to input document information is converted into character pattern data and output is displayed according to the character pattern data.
A font conversion designating means for designating a usage restriction of font information corresponding to the character pattern data to be output and displayed, and a character code information of the font information as a usage restriction for output display of the font information specified by the font conversion designating means. Provided is a character conversion information storage unit that stores character conversion information for converting the character code information of the character information that is allowed to be used, and a character control unit that expands the input character information into character code information. When the use restriction of the font information is designated by the font conversion designating means in the character control unit, the character code information of the font information preset based on the font conversion information is referred to, and then the corresponding character pattern data is created. The conversion is performed so as to control the transition to the output display operation, and the font conversion information in the font conversion information storage unit can be arbitrarily rewritten based on predetermined input information. By adopting the method of cormorants control it is intended to achieve the above object.

[Embodiment of the Invention] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a Japanese document creating apparatus to which the font conversion method of the present invention is applied. Reference numeral 1 denotes a character control unit, which develops an input document into character codes and enables a character pattern corresponding to the character codes to be read out and printed from a character data storage unit 5 described later. Reference numeral 2 is an input device, which is used for key input of a document and designation of use of Chinese characters. Reference numeral 3 is an external storage device such as a floppy disk device for storing a document, which is accessed by the character control unit 1.
The printing unit 4 prints a document in accordance with the character pattern data sent from the character control unit 1. Reference numeral 5 is a character data storage unit in which character pattern data corresponding to a character code developed by the character control unit 1 is stored.
Reference numeral 6 is a font conversion code table storage unit, which stores codes of kanji (common kanji) for converting fonts.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. First, the character control unit 1 reads a document from the external storage device 3 and develops the read document into a character code. Here, it is assumed that the read document includes the kanji (letter) of the Kangxi dictionary and the kanji (letter) described in the JIS kanji code. Normally, the character control unit 1 reads the character pattern data corresponding to the character code from the character pattern data storage unit 5, and outputs this to the printing unit 4. The printing unit 4 prints according to the input character pattern data. At this time, if the input device 2 receives a Kanji usage restriction designation that the font of the Kangxi alphabet should not be used, after the input document is expanded into character codes as described above, the character code corresponding to the expanded character code is changed. All the developed character codes read from the font conversion code table storage unit 6 are replaced with the character codes including only the fonts of the common Kanji characters read from the character conversion code table storage unit 6. Thereafter, the character pattern data corresponding to the newly formed character code string is read from the character pattern data storage unit 5, and this is read by the printing unit 4.
Output to. The printing unit 4 prints according to the input character pattern data. Therefore, the kanji character of the printed document includes only the kanji character (common kanji) described in the JIS kanji code.

Here, it is assumed that the above-mentioned document includes the font "Akatsuki" of the Kangxi character book. This "Akatsuki" is expanded by the character control unit 1 to the character code of JIS code point 58 ward 92. After that, the character control unit 1 reads the contents of the code point 58 section 92 of the font conversion code table, reads the code point 22 section 39 having this content, and replaces it with the code point 58 section 92 in the document. Since this code point 22 ward 39 is an Akatsuki of common Kanji, it means that the Akatsuki of Kangxi dictionary has been converted to the Akatsuki of common Kanji. For this reason, Akatsuki in the document printed by the printing unit 4 becomes the font of the commonly used Kanji.

By the way, when the above-mentioned document contains the akaka of the common kanji which does not need to be converted into a font, this is also expanded by the character control unit 1 into the code point 22 ward 39 first, and then the character control unit 1
Goes to read the Kanji conversion code table of this code point 22 ward 39, but since the same code point 22 ward 39 is written there, even if this is read and replaced with the code point 22 ward 39, After all, the code point 22 ward 39 remains, and the regular Kanji Akatsuki is not converted.

Fig. 2 shows an example of JIS Kanji code. Akatsuki of common Kanji is code point 22 ward 39, and Akatsuki of Kangxi dictionary is code point 58.
It is ward 92.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a character style conversion code table in the character style conversion code table storage unit 6. In this example, the code point 58 ward 92 corresponding to the Kanji character's Akatsuki has the code point 22 ward 39 corresponding to the common Chinese character's akatsuki, and the code point 22 ward 39 corresponding to the common Chinese character's akatsuki is After all, the code point 22 ward 39 corresponding to Akatsuki of common kanji is written.

The contents of the font conversion code table are arbitrarily rewritten using the input device 2. Therefore, on the contrary, it is possible to convert the fonts of common Kanji into the fonts of Kangxi.

Therefore, in the above embodiment, the used Kanji (character style) in the document is used.
If there is a limit to the number of characters, it is not necessary for the operator to convert the kanji characters one by one to recreate the document. All you have to do is specify the kanji characters that can be used. Then, the document can be printed. Therefore, the document input can be performed quickly and in a short time, and mistakes can be eliminated. Moreover, since the data in the font conversion information code table storage unit is controlled so that it can be rewritten arbitrarily, the range of selection of the kanji used can be widened, and the usability that meets the needs of the operator can be improved.

Although the font conversion method of the above-described embodiment has been described as a method in which all the character codes expanded by the document control unit 1 are replaced with the contents of the character conversion code table, the conversion table corresponding to the character code that does not need to convert the character. In the contents of
For example, write ○○○○, check the contents of the Kanji conversion code table corresponding to each character code in the document expanded into character codes, and check the conversion code table only if this content is not ○○○○. The same effect can be obtained by adopting a method in which the character code written in the above is replaced, and when it is XX, the character code initially developed is directly output to the printing unit without conversion. Further, the present invention can be applied not only to the Japanese document creation device but also to all information processing devices that can use the kanji system.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the font conversion method of the present invention, the character conversion information storage unit that lists the character code information of the character to be converted corresponding to the character conversion character code information is provided, and character control is performed. Upon receiving the designation of character style conversion, the section compares the developed character code information of the input document with the character style conversion information one by one, reads the corresponding character code information, and replaces it with the expanded character code information. By adopting a method of outputting and displaying the document after performing the above, there is an effect that the character style of the Chinese character can be converted into the specified character style at the time of document creation and printed automatically. In addition, since the data in the character style conversion information storage unit is controlled so that it can be arbitrarily rewritten, the range of selection of the used Chinese characters is expanded, the operator's various needs are met, and the usability is improved.
