Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a document creation apparatus having a function of permitting cancellation at the time of kana / kanji conversion input.

(Prior Art) A document creation device (Japanese word processor) that inputs a kana character and converts it into kanji to create a document has become very popular. In such a document creating apparatus, the cancel key was not accepted when inputting Kana / Kanji conversion.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) For this reason, if you want to press the function key while inputting data for Kana / Kanji conversion, operate the "←" key to exceed the beginning of the already entered characters. The key operation had to be done by returning to or pressing the hiragana key to confirm.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object thereof is to provide a document creation apparatus having a function of permitting cancellation at the time of kana / kanji conversion input.

[Configuration of Invention] (Means and Actions for Solving Problems) Input means, input character storage means for storing character information input from the input means, and conversion means for converting the input character information into kanji In a document preparation device having an output character storage means for storing the conversion result converted by the conversion means, a key discrimination means for discriminating an operated key and an input character for erasing the contents of the input character storage means. The erasing means and means for confirming the presence / absence of information in the input character storage means and the output character storage means, and when the cancel key is operated by the key determining means, the confirming means stores information in the output character storage. Is confirmed, the input character erasing means operates.

(Embodiment) A document creating apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 11 is a CPU (central processing unit) that performs various controls for document creation. A key operation signal is input to the CPU 11 from a keyboard 12 in which keys required for document creation are worshiped. For example, this keyboard 12 has a cancel key, an alphanumeric shift key operated when inputting alphanumeric characters, a hiragana shift key operated when inputting hiragana, a katakana shift key operated when inputting katakana, and an alphabetic symbol. In addition to the alphanumeric character shift key used for
A kana / kanji conversion key that is operated to convert the kana characters input in 15 into kanji is provided. A ROM 13 stores a program necessary for document creation (including a kana / kanji conversion means for converting hiragana stored in the input buffer 15 into kanji and outputting the kanji to the output buffer 16) and a dictionary.
(Read only memory), 14 is a RAM (random access memory). The RAM 14 is provided with a document area (not shown) in which sentences created as shown in FIG. 2 are stored, an input buffer 15 and an output buffer 16. The document thus created is sent to the LCD (liquid crystal display device) 17 and displayed.

Next, the operation of the embodiment of the present invention configured as above will be described. First, when a key on the keyboard 12 is operated, the key code is read into the CPU 11 (step S1). If the key is a key other than the cancel key (step S2), the process for the key is performed (step S3).

On the other hand, if the key is the cancel key (step
S2), it is determined whether or not a kana to be converted into kana / kanji is being input (step S4). When the input buffer 15 has data and the output buffer 16 has no data, it is determined that the data is being input. That is,
This is because if input is in progress, data has not been stored in the output buffer 16 because kana / kanji conversion has not been performed. When it is determined in step S4 that the input is not being performed, the process is performed in another state. For example, processing such as cancellation of printing is performed.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S4 that the input is in progress,
The input buffer 15 in which the kana to be converted is input is cleared, and the document in the document area before the conversion all kana is input is displayed again on the LCD 17. In this way
It is possible to enable the operation of the cancel key for canceling the input while inputting a kana to be converted into kana / kanji.

[Effects of the Invention] As described in detail above, according to the present invention, since it is possible to operate the cancel key for canceling the input of a kana to be converted into kana / kanji, the operation of canceling the input can be simplified. It is possible to provide a document creation device that can be realized.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. An input means, an input character storage means for storing character information input from the input means, a conversion means for converting the input character information into kanji, and a conversion result converted by the conversion means. In an apparatus for creating a document having an output character storage means for operating, a key discrimination means for discriminating an operated key, an input character erasing means for erasing the contents of the input character storage means, an input character storage means and an output character When the cancel key is operated by the key discriminating means, the confirming means confirms that there is no information in the output character memory, and deletes the input character. A document creating apparatus characterized in that the means operates.
