DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the document creating method of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram for carrying out the document creating apparatus and the document creating method of the present invention.

The document creating apparatus 10 is provided with an input unit 11 such as a keyboard and a stylus pen so that function data such as characters and figures can be input.

The input unit 11 is also provided with a plurality of input mode selection devices. Kana-Kanji characters are selected by selecting the Kana-Kanji input mode, alphanumeric characters are selected by selecting the alphanumeric input mode, and Katakana character input mode is selected. Allows you to input Katakana characters and so on.

A control unit 12 having a CPU and the like is connected to the input unit 11, and the function data input from the input unit 11 is processed and sent to each unit.

A character string conversion unit 13 is connected to the control unit 12 so as to convert the function data into character string conversion data. A character string storage unit 14 is connected to the character string conversion unit 13 so that the character string conversion data can be stored and called.

A display unit 15 such as a CRT is connected to the control unit 12, and the character string conversion data converted by the character string conversion unit 13 is displayed on the display unit 15 via the control unit 12. ing.

Next, the operation of the document creating apparatus 10 of the present invention thus constructed will be described with reference to the flow chart shown in FIG.

First, the input mode of the input unit 11 is selected, for example, the Kana-Kanji input mode, the Kana-Kanji character is input from the input unit 11, and the function data is sent to the control unit 12. This function data is sent to the character string converter 13 via the controller 12 and converted into kana-kanji data. This kana-kanji data is displayed on the display unit 1 via the control unit 12.
Send to 5 and display on this.

While inputting such Kana-Kanji characters, the English "U"
Suppose that it is necessary to input "NIX". In response to this English input, the input mode of the input unit 11 is switched from the Kana-Kanji input mode to the alphanumeric input mode. UNIX "is input and the function data is sent to the character string converter 13 via the controller 12.

The character string conversion unit 13 converts the function data into English "UNIX", and sends this "UNIX" to the display unit 15 via the control unit 12 for display.

The input of "UNIX" in English, that is, the function data associated with the key sequence operation is sent to the character string storage unit 1 via the control unit 12 and the character string conversion unit 13.
4 and store the function data.

When the display and storage are completed, the alphanumeric input mode is switched to the kana-kanji character input mode, and the input in this mode is performed again. By this switching, kana and kanji characters are input and displayed on the display unit 15.

For such switching, the alphanumeric input mode may be switched to the kana-kanji character input mode only by pressing the return key or the like, or the alphanumeric input may be performed by inputting the last character "X" of "UNIX". The mode may be switched to the kana-kanji character input mode.

While inputting the kana-kanji character input in the kana-kanji character input mode, the English "UNIX" may be repeatedly input again. When this "UNIX" data is input from the input unit 11, the function data is sent to the control unit 11. The control unit 11 sends key sequence data such as English "U", "N", ... To the comparison buffer (not shown) for each character, and the character string storage unit 14
It is compared with the function data of the English "UNIX" stored in (S1).

In this comparison, if a data mismatch occurs in the middle of the comparison (S2), the comparison buffer is flushed to return it to the initial state and the comparison operation is completed (S2).
3).

If it is found that the flashed function data is different from the English "UNIX", it is input as a different character. This input data is stored in the character string storage unit 14 as new data similar to the above storage.

If the comparison data completely match until the end (S4), the English "U" stored in the character string storage unit 14 is stored.
"IX" is called and sent to the display unit 15 via the character string conversion unit 13 and the control unit 12 for display (S5).

As a result, "UNIX" can be output by converting into English without switching from the kana-kanji character input mode to the alphanumeric character input mode.

In such a conversion, the stored output is changed from English uppercase letters, for example, "WINDOW" to lowercase letters, for example,
The conversion range can be widened by converting from "Window" to "window" or conversely from lower case "Window" to "window" to upper case "WINDOW".

Other characters that are erroneously added to or added to the stored key sequence data, such as "UNIXA"
When "B" is input, "UNIX" can be called out from the character string storage unit 14 by deleting "AB".

In the above embodiment, the case where the kana-kanji input mode is switched to the alphanumeric input mode has been described, but the same operation can be performed when the alphanumeric input mode is switched to the kana-kanji input mode, the katakana input mode or the like.
