Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to Japanese language processing, which has a function of sequentially converting input Kana characters to Katakana characters, and further from Katakana characters to Hiragana characters in Japanese language processing. It relates to the device.

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, Japanese language processing devices can input Japanese sentences at relatively high speed without requiring special skill, but the conventional Japanese language processing technique is disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 60-200360. As described above, when a sentence including Katakana, such as a foreign word, is input, by pressing the Katakana conversion key for the Kana-Kanji conversion result, all the phrases are converted to Katakana. Therefore, for example, if you want to get the sentence "Character input such as katakana", if "Katakana" is registered in the dictionary for "Katakana" and "Katakana" is not registered, the conversion result is "Katakana". For example, / character input becomes. At this time, if katakana conversion is performed on the first bunsetsu, all "katakana nadono" is converted to katakana, so the bunsetsu had to be reduced and katakana conversion performed again. FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing the above processing.
As described above, in the conventional technique, when a conversion result in which katakana and hiragana are mixed is desired, it is necessary to reduce the phrase and perform katakana conversion again by repeatedly operating the katakana conversion key and the phrase change key as shown in FIG. was there.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention As described above, in the conventional configuration, a very complicated operation is required repeatedly when creating a sentence in which words in katakana notation are frequently used.

In view of such a point, the present invention is capable of converting a phrase containing a mixture of katakana and hiragana for each phrase while observing the kana-kanji conversion result with a simple key operation when inputting a sentence including katakana notation. It is an object to provide a Japanese language processing device with good operability.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention temporarily stores a character input unit including a phonetic character key for performing a kana character input operation, and a character string including the kana character input by the input unit. A character string storage unit, a Katakana conversion request input unit that inputs a request to convert the character string into a character string containing Katakana characters, a Kana-Kanji conversion unit that performs Kana-Kanji conversion of the character string, and a Kana-Kanji conversion unit that are stored in the storage unit. The Japanese language processing apparatus includes a display unit for displaying a character string or a result converted by the Kana-Kanji conversion unit.

Effect According to the present invention, the character input unit inputs a character string including kana characters, the character string storage unit stores the character string, and the kana-Kanji conversion unit stores the character string storage unit. All or part of the character string is converted into a katakana character string at the request of the Katakana conversion request input unit, and then, at the request of the Katakana conversion request input unit, the hiragana characters are sequentially read from the beginning or the end of the Katakana character string. Convert to.

First Embodiment FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a Japanese language processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which 1 is a character input section in which an operator inputs readings of a sentence to be created, character by character, and 2 is a character input section 1. An input character string storage unit for temporarily storing the inputted Kana character string, 3 is a Kana-Kanji conversion unit for converting the Kana character string stored in the input character string storage unit 2 into Kana-Kanji character, and 4 is a character string, or A Katakana conversion unit that performs Katakana conversion for phrases separated by the Kana-Kanji conversion unit, 5 is a Hiragana conversion unit that converts a character string or a phrase into Hiragana characters, and 6 is a conversion result memory that temporarily stores conversion results. 7 is a display unit for displaying the contents of the storage unit, 8 is a word dictionary storage unit for storing word information necessary for Kana-Kanji processing, and 9 is a request for Katakana conversion and Katakana to Hiragana conversion request. It is a katakana conversion key input unit.

The operation of the Japanese language processing apparatus of this embodiment constructed as described above will be described below with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a flow chart showing the operation of this embodiment.
For example, when an attempt is made to create a sentence "Character input such as katakana", a character string "Katakana etc." is input in the input unit 1. This input character string is stored in the input character string storage unit 2 and sent to the Kana-Kanji conversion unit 3.
The kana-kanji conversion unit 3 divides into appropriate phrases while referring to the word dictionary storage unit 8 and converts them into words. Since the words "Katakana", "character", and "input" are registered in the word dictionary storage unit 8, the conversion result is "/ character input for Katakana". At this time, in response to the first phrase "Katakana etc.",
Since "katakana" has not been registered, pressing the katakana conversion key in the katakana conversion input section 9 causes the kana-kanji conversion section 3 to request the katakana conversion section 4 to convert this character string into katakana conversion. Part 4 converts to "katakana nadono" and katakana character strings. Further, by pressing the katakana conversion key, the hiragana conversion unit 5 converts the last character of "katakana nadano" into hiragana. By repeatedly pressing the Katakana conversion key, "Katakana-ana-do", "Katakana, etc." are successively converted into Hiragana and the desired conversion result is obtained. Therefore, it is converted as follows. "Character input such as katakana" Looking at Fig.
It is clear from this that it is no longer necessary in this embodiment.

As described above, according to this embodiment, when it is desired to convert the input kana character string into a sentence including katakana and hiragana, a complicated key operation is performed in the conventional example such as reducing the clause and then performing katakana conversion again. You can do the conversion without a thing. You can also convert to a sentence with mixed katakana and hiragana by simply pressing the same key repeatedly.

As described above, according to the present invention, when converting to a phrase in which katakana and hiragana are mixed, after all the characters are converted to katakana, the phrase is reduced for the purpose of successively converting to hiragana, It does not require complicated key operations such as performing katakana conversion again. Therefore, the complexity of the key operation is released and the conversion time is greatly reduced.
