Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide the character processor which facilitates operation for displaying a list of homonyms. CONSTITUTION:Once a timer interruption is initiated, it is decided whether or not the operation mode is a nonoperation mode (step S5). When the operation mode is the nonoperation mode, it is decided that inputted character are all converted from KANA(Japanese syllabary) to KANJI(Chinese character) (step S6). When the inputted characters are not all converted, it is decided whether or not the list of homonyms is being displayed (step S7). When the list of the homonyms is being displayed, the process is repeated again from a step S1. When the list of the homonyms is not being displayed, a list of candidates for homonyms in a basic black specified with a cursor is displayed (step S8) and the operation mode is set to the nonoperation mode (step S9).

Second determination means for determining whether or not the input character is subjected to kana-kanji conversion processing, and processing means for displaying a list of homophones, and kana-kanji conversion processing for the input character. Then, a second setting means for setting the operation mode to the non-operation mode is provided.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for operating a character processing device for automatically performing an operation in a kana-kanji conversion device for an input character by using a timer interrupt, wherein data such as characters Setting the operation mode to the operated mode when inputting by key operation, determining whether the operation mode is the operated mode or the unoperated mode at the time of timer interruption, and determining the operation mode as the unoperated mode Then, a step of determining whether or not kana-kanji conversion processing is performed on the input character, and a kana-kanji list display is performed when the kana-kanji conversion processing is performed on the input character. And a step of setting the operation mode to a non-operation mode when the input character is subjected to kana-kanji conversion processing.

[0007]

According to the character processing apparatus of the present invention, the operation mode is set to the operated mode when the data such as characters is input by the key operation by the first setting means, and the timer is interrupted by the first determination means. When it is determined whether the operation mode is the operated mode or the non-operated mode, and the first determining means determines the operating mode as the non-operating mode by the second determining means, the input character is subjected to kana-kanji conversion processing. It is determined whether or not there is a kana-kanji conversion process applied to the character input by the processing means, a list of homophones is displayed, and the kana-kanji conversion process applied to the character input by the second setting means. If so, the operation mode is set to the non-operation mode.

In the method of operating the character processing apparatus according to the second aspect, the operation mode is set to the operated mode when the data such as characters is input by the key operation, and the operation mode is the operated mode or the unoperated mode at the time of the timer interruption. If it is determined that the operation mode is the non-operation mode,
It is determined whether or not the input characters have undergone kana-kanji conversion processing. If the input characters have undergone kana-kanji conversion processing, a list of homophones is displayed and kana-kanji characters are input for the input characters. If the conversion process has been performed, the operation mode is set to the non-operation mode.
