Description

The present invention relates to a kana-kanji conversion device for converting an input kana character string into a kana-kanji mixed character string.

[Prior Art] In a conventional Japanese word processor or the like, kana-kanji conversion operates to convert input character strings in order.

Therefore, even if unconverted kana character strings are continuous, if you input kana character strings at one time, you have to search the dictionary, which takes a lot of processing time and complicated operations. Had.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Conventionally, when converting a series of a plurality of kana characters into a plurality of kanji character strings, another kanji conversion unit is used as a non-conversion process for a desired part of the kanji character strings. None could be specified immediately.

An object of the present invention is to specify a desired Kanji conversion unit as a conversion candidate selection target, and immediately perform the non-conversion process on the Kanji conversion unit. It is to be able to immediately shift to the conversion candidate selection target in the Kanji conversion unit following the Kanji conversion unit.

[Means for Solving the Problems] Means of the present invention are as follows.

An input means for inputting a kana character string consisting of a plurality of kana characters, a display means for displaying the input kana character string, and a case where execution of kana-kanji conversion for the entire input kana character string is instructed, In order to divide the input kana character string into a plurality of kanji conversion units, a conversion unit determining means for sequentially determining the division position of each kanji conversion unit by the longest matching method from the first character position of the input kana character string, and this conversion unit. The input kana character string is sequentially divided from the first character based on each division position determined by the determining means, and kana-kanji conversion is executed for each of the divided kanji conversion units. A conversion control means for controlling to display kanji conversion candidates, a conversion confirmation instruction means for instructing conversion confirmation of kanji conversion candidates, and a non-conversion confirmation instruction means for instructing non-conversion confirmation of kanji conversion candidates. The conversion control means specifies one kanji conversion unit as a conversion candidate selection target, and the kanji conversion candidates for the conversion candidate selection target are converted by the conversion confirmation instruction means or the non-confirmation confirmation instruction means for the kanji conversion unit. Display control is performed so that any instruction can be accepted, and when the conversion confirmation instruction means instructs conversion confirmation of a kanji conversion candidate, the sense conversion candidate is converted as a confirmed kanji in the kanji conversion unit. When the confirmation of the conversion is instructed by the conversion-confirmation confirming means, the display of the kanji conversion candidate is erased, and the original kana character in the kanji conversion unit is restored to be the non-converted character. The conversion candidate selection target is transferred to the Kanji conversion unit next to the Kanji conversion unit for which the conversion has been confirmed or the conversion has been confirmed. Display control of the Kanji conversion candidates for the Kanji conversion unit newly targeted by the transition of the elephant so that new instructions can be accepted by the conversion confirmation instruction means or the non-conversion confirmation instruction means for the Kanji conversion unit. It is characterized by doing so.

[Operation] The operation of the means of the present invention is as follows.

When a kana character string consisting of a plurality of kana characters is input, this input kana character string is displayed. When execution of Kana-Kanji conversion for this entire input Kana character string is instructed, in order to divide this input Kana character string into multiple Kanji conversion units, the division position of each Kanji conversion unit is input using the longest match method. Sequentially determined from the first character position of the kana character string,
The input kana character string is sequentially divided from the first character based on each of the determined division positions, and kana-kanji conversion is executed for each divided kanji conversion unit to convert kanji in each kanji conversion unit. Controlled to display candidates. When one Kanji conversion unit is designated as a conversion candidate selection target, the Kanji conversion candidate for that conversion candidate selection target can be accepted by either the conversion confirmation instruction means or the non-confirmation confirmation instruction means for that Kanji conversion unit. In this way, when the conversion confirmation instructing means instructs the conversion confirmation of the kanji conversion candidate in that state, the conversion candidate is confirmed as the confirmed kanji in the kanji conversion unit. When the conversion confirmation instructing means gives an instruction to confirm no conversion, the display of the kanji conversion candidate is erased, and the original kana character in the kanji conversion unit is returned to be the non-conversion confirmed as the non-conversion character. The conversion candidate selection target is transferred to the Kanji conversion unit next to the Kanji conversion unit for which conversion confirmation or non-conversion confirmation has been made.
Then, the Kanji conversion candidate for the Kanji conversion unit newly targeted by the conversion candidate selection target can accept a new instruction by the conversion confirmation instruction means or the non-confirmation confirmation instruction means for the Kanji conversion unit. The display is controlled.

Therefore, by inputting a desired kana character string and instructing kana-kanji conversion, the entire input kana character string is divided into a plurality of kanji conversion units to display kanji conversion candidates for each kanji conversion unit. It is possible to start the execution of the kana-kanji conversion process, and for one kanji conversion unit to be selected as a conversion candidate, the kanji conversion candidate in that kanji conversion unit is fixed or not fixed. It is possible to specify whether or not to confirm, and especially when no conversion confirmation is instructed, the display of the Kanji conversion candidate is erased and the original Kana character in the Kanji conversion unit is restored and no conversion is performed. Non-conversion confirmation processing can be performed as characters.

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Fig. 1 shows its structure. 10 is a "conversion" key for instructing the conversion of kana characters into an input kana character string and confirmation of conversion candidates, a "conversion" key for no conversion request, and a kanji selection. The input unit is, for example, a tablet having numeric keys and a kana character key for kana character input. 12
Is a central processing unit (CPU), and the CPU 12 is the input unit 10
When the key is pressed, the operation signal is received. 14
Is an input buffer in which the input kana characters are stored. Reference numeral 16 is a idiom dictionary that stores idioms composed of two kanji and their readings in association with each other. However, in this embodiment, the above reading is 6 characters or less.

Reference numeral 18 is a single kanji dictionary that stores the kanji consisting of one character and its reading correspondingly. Reference numeral 20 is a document memory in which characters after Kana-Kanji conversion are stored. 22 is a program storage unit and a character generator (CG).
It stores a word processor control program and processing program including Kana-Kanji conversion, and a CG pattern. The program and the CG pattern are in the same chip, but are separated by address. Reference numeral 24 is a work memory in which various information used by the program is stored during the kana-kanji conversion process.

Reference numeral 26 is a display memory that stores display data in a dot pattern, which stores the characters in the input buffer 14 or the document memory 20 after being converted into a corresponding pattern in the CG pattern of the CG 22. 28 is a display driver, and 30 is a display unit, and the data stored in the display memory 26 is supplied to the display unit 30 via the driver 28 and displayed. The display unit 30 is composed of dot-matrix liquid crystal, and the characters in the input buffer 14 or the document in the document memory 20 are displayed in the upper stage 301 thereof, and the lower stage 302 thereof is a selection candidate which is a homonym. The characters are displayed.

FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the operation in such a configuration, (a) shows an operation example, and (b) shows a display example. That is, as shown in FIG. 2 (a), when “Shinbunshijo Jippyo no Sora” is input, this character string is input to the input buffer 14 and read from the input buffer 14 to be displayed on the display unit. Displayed at 30. In this case, the display
When the characters are input to the right end of 30, the characters are scrolled to the left one by one, and as a result, they are displayed as shown in FIG.

When the "convert" key is operated as shown in FIG. 2 (a), a predetermined number of characters, that is, five characters in this embodiment, are extracted from the beginning of the kana, and the phrase dictionary 16, words Search is performed in the order of the dictionary 18, and kanji is selected by the longest match method. In this case, when there is no matching Chinese character with 5 characters, the number of characters sequentially fetched for 4 characters, 3 characters, 2 characters, and 1 character is reduced to perform the search. In this example, “shinbun” is searched for “newspaper” in the idiom dictionary 16 and displayed on the upper stage 301 of the display unit 30 as shown in FIG. The shaded portion in the figure indicates that the display is in reverse characters.

Further, when the "conversion" key is pressed as shown in FIG. 2 (a), the "newspaper" is confirmed and the normal display is displayed, as shown in FIG. 2 (b). The kanji corresponding to is searched from the idiom dictionary 16 and the homonyms are displayed in the lower part 302 of the display unit 30. At the same time, the first homonym “test drive” is displayed in the upper row 301.

Next, as shown in FIG. 2 (a), when the "5" in the selection key is operated, the Chinese character in the homonym is selected, and as shown in FIG. Is confirmed and displayed. Then, the Chinese character “de” corresponding to the next character “de” is searched and highlighted. The kanji can be selected by operating the "next candidate" key to move the reverse display position of the lower part 302 of the display unit 30 to the right and operating the "convert" key at the desired kanji position.

Here, as shown in FIG. 2 (a), when the key for making a non-conversion request, that is, the "non-conversion" key is operated, the above-mentioned character "de" is not converted into kanji and the same as shown in FIG. As shown, it remains a Kana. And in the same way as above,
"Happy" is searched for "Announcement" in the idiom dictionary 16,
It is displayed on the upper stage 301 of the display unit 30 as shown in FIG.

Then, when the "conversion" key is pressed as shown in FIG. 2 (a), "announcement" is confirmed and the normal display is displayed, as shown in FIG. 2 (b). "
The Chinese character “NO” corresponding to is searched and highlighted.

Here, when the "no conversion" key is operated as shown in FIG. 2 (a), the above-mentioned character "no" is not converted into kanji and remains as a kana as shown in FIG. 2 (b). Then, in the same way as above, the kanji character "10" corresponding to the next character string "to"
Will be searched and highlighted.

FIG. 3 is a flow chart of the kana-kanji conversion operation, and the kana-kanji conversion operation will be described below using this. That is, when the "convert" key is pressed, the five characters from the beginning of the kana character string are extracted (step ST301). Then, it is determined whether or not the kana length is "0" (step ST30).
2). If it is not "0", the kana character will be used for the idiom dictionary 16
Is searched (step ST303), and it is determined whether there is a kanji that matches the kana character (step ST304). If there is a matching Kanji character, convert it to that Kanji character (step ST305).
After that, jump to step ST310 described later. If not, the single-kanji dictionary 18 is searched (step ST306), and it is determined whether or not there is a kanji that matches the kana character (step ST30).
7). If there is a matching kanji character, the process jumps to step ST305 above to convert to that kanji character, and then jumps to step ST310. If not, the kana length is decremented by "-1" (step ST308), and then the process returns to step ST302.

In step ST302, the kana length is "0".
If it is determined that it is, no conversion is performed and the kana remains as it is (step ST309).

Then, it is determined whether there is the next kana character (step ST
310) If not, the process ends, but if there is, the next 5 characters after the kana character are taken out (step ST311) and the process returns to step ST302.

In other words, the kana character extracted is the longest match method and the idiom dictionary 1
6, Search in the order of single-kanji dictionary 18, if there is a matching word, convert it to that kanji, and if there is no matching word, use the character string reduced by one character from the end of the kana character and re-dictionary 16. Search for 18. This is continued until the kana character becomes one character, and if this one character does not match, the kana character is left as unconverted. Such an operation is repeated until there is no input kana character string, and when there is no more, it ends. Then enter the following sentence, or if the end of the whole sentence,
That's it.

[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, by inputting a desired kana character string and then giving an instruction for kana-kanji conversion, the entire input kana character string is divided into a plurality of kanji conversion units and each kanji conversion unit The Kana-Kanji conversion process for displaying the Kanji conversion candidates can be started. For one Kanji conversion unit to be selected as a conversion candidate, the Kanji conversion candidates in the Kanji conversion unit are converted. Whether to confirm or to confirm non-conversion can be arbitrarily specified and the confirmation process can be performed. Especially when confirmation of non-conversion is instructed, the display of the kanji conversion candidate is erased and the kanji conversion unit It is possible to return to the original kana character and perform non-conversion confirmation processing as a non-conversion character.

After the confirmation process by the above instruction, the conversion candidate selection target is automatically transferred to the next Kanji conversion unit of the confirmed Kanji conversion unit. It is possible to immediately instruct whether conversion is confirmed or no conversion is confirmed.
