Abstract

PURPOSE: To enable conversion into desired KANJI(Chinese character) through the same converting operation as usual by inputting information (reading, KANJI, and number of strokes) of a part other than a radical when the radical name and information on the part other than the radical are known at the time of the input of KANJI whose reading is not known. CONSTITUTION: When a character string inputted from an input means 1 is converted by a KANA(Japanese syllabary)-KANJI converting means 4, a radical input converting means 5 judges whether or not there is the radical name and when there is the radical name, radical converting operation is performed by a radical input converting means 5 and a radical information storage means 3, so that the result is outputted by an output means 6.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a character processing device such as a Japanese word processor or a personal computer capable of inputting Japanese with a kana-kanji conversion function.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional Japanese word processor or the like, a radical input method is widely used as a method for inputting a kanji character that is difficult to input because the kana character cannot be read by a normal kana-kanji conversion method. In a general radical input method, by inputting a radical of a desired kanji, a list of kanji of the radical is displayed, and a desired kanji is selected from the list. For example, if you want to input the Chinese character "pupa", enter "Mushihen" to perform radical conversion. A list of Kanji characters for Mushenen will be displayed. Will be selected.

In Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 60-189573, it is possible to indirectly select a desired kanji by inputting a part of the desired kanji or a kana of the kanji related to the part. For example, the kanji for "catfish" is read as "cat," but the kanji for "nen" is included.
Because it is associated with the reading, "Nen" can be input to input "catfish". Since this method uses only reading as a clue, the number of kanji displayed as selection candidates is very large, and it takes a lot of time to search for a target kanji.

In Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1-128157, by inputting radical information and the total number of strokes, it is possible to select a desired Chinese character from the corresponding characters. In this method, the total number of strokes of kanji must be known, and a large number of selection candidates will be output.

In Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-173861, by inputting a predetermined number of kanji that have the same radical as the target kanji, the target kanji is selected from the kanji candidates consisting of the radical combinations of the input kanji. Realize that you choose. For example, by inputting “juice” and “end”, “soak” can be obtained from the combination of radicals. This method
In order to convert after inputting multiple characters different from the intended Kanji, you have to take a complicated procedure different from normal input.

[0006] In Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-289029, a special reading is defined by connecting up to three letters of the first reading of each part constituting a kanji, thereby making it possible to input a desired kanji. There is. For example, “delusion” is decomposed into “yamadare” and “intelligence”, and “yashi” or “yachi” is read from the beginning of the reading. In addition, "knowledge" is further decomposed into "arrows" and "mouths" and "yaku" and "yashiko" are also read. This makes it possible to obtain "fool" from reading "yashi", "yachi", "yaku", and "yashiko". However, since this method uses a special reading method that is not used everyday, there is a drawback that the reading method must be learned in advance.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

[Problem to be solved by claim 1] If you do not know the reading of the kanji you are trying to enter, but you know the reading of the kanji with the radical name of the kanji and the other part as one character An object is to obtain a desired kanji by inputting radical names and readings of other parts by the same operation as conversion and converting by the same operation as usual.

For example, if you don't know how to read "Samurai," but you know that the radical of this kanji is "Ninben" and the reading of the "Tera" part is "Tera", you can read "Ninben de la ", And perform the same conversion operation as the normal Kana-Kanji conversion," Samurai "will be obtained as the conversion result.

[Problem to be solved by claim 3] Since the kanji to be input cannot be read, the kanji cannot be input, but when the part of the part excluding the radical can be input, The purpose is to add a radical name to an input character and convert it to obtain a desired Chinese character. For example, if you can't enter because you don't know how to read "Samurai," but you can enter "temple," which is the part other than the radical, add the radical name there and add "Nimbenni-ji." When you perform a conversion operation, "Samurai"
To get

[Problem to be solved by claim 4] The kanji cannot be entered because the kanji to be entered cannot be read, but the radical name of the kanji is known and the radical part is excluded. If the number of strokes of the part (making) can be input, the objective is to input a number indicating the radical name and the number of strokes and convert it to obtain the desired kanji. For example, if you want to input "摧" but you do not know how to read it, if you know that the radical name is "tenhen" and the number of strokes other than the radical is 11 strokes,
By entering "Tenhen 11", "Tenhen"
Is displayed on the radical, and a portion other than the radical is displayed to display a list of 11 Kanji characters for the user to select.

[Claims 1 and 2] As shown in FIG. 3, a character input step S1 (expressed as S1 in the drawing) by an input device such as a keyboard 22 and a pen 24.
The same applies to the following. ) Is performed, and the operation step S2 of kana-kanji conversion is performed by the conversion key on the keyboard 22 or the conversion button for the pen 24, the conversion candidates input using the radical name list as shown in FIG. It is checked in step S3 whether the radical name is included in the character string. In the example of FIG. 3, the character input “tenhensora” is performed in step S1, and when the radical name list of FIG. 6 is sequentially examined in step S3, the radical name “tenen” is included. .

If the radical name is included in step S3, it is checked in step S4 whether or not there is a predetermined delimiter character after the radical name, and the part other than the radical is read after the delimiter character. Whether or not it is checked in step S5, and if there is, the process proceeds to radical conversion step S6. FIG.
In the example, there is "ni" after the radical name in step S4,
In step S5, it is checked that there is a reading of a portion other than the radical "Sora" after that.

Steps S3, S4 and S
If the condition is not satisfied in 5, the process proceeds to the normal kana-kanji conversion step S7. Radical conversion step S
6, the character list data as shown in FIG. 7 is used to search for a Kanji character by reading the entered radical name and a portion other than the radical, and if there is, that character is displayed on the display device 12. It In the example of FIG. 3, the reading for the radical name “Tehen” checked in step S3 is searched in the list data of FIG. 7 in order, and the character for the reading “sora” checked in step S5 is determined to be “copy”. To be done. Therefore, the input "tennisora" is converted into "copy".

When inputting the readings of the parts other than the radical, it is effective to input the readings in order to reduce the number of conversion candidates, but it is not limited to the reading in particular. When there are a plurality of conversion candidates, the candidates are displayed and the user is allowed to select one. In this case as well, the number of candidates is much smaller than displaying a list of radicals, so selection is easy.

[Embodiment of claim 3] As shown in FIG. 4, a character input step S8 is performed by an input device such as the keyboard 22 and the pen 24, and the conversion key on the keyboard 22 and the conversion button for the pen 24 are used. When the operation step S9 of kana-kanji conversion is performed by the above, the radical name list as shown in FIG. 6 is used to check in step S10 whether or not the radical name is included in the input conversion candidate character string. . In the example of FIG. 4, “kinenni white” is input in step S8, and when the radical name list of FIG. 6 is sequentially examined in step S10, the radical name of “kinen” is included.

If the radical name is included in step S10, it is checked in step S11 whether or not there is a predetermined delimiter character after the radical name, and the part other than radical is checked after the delimiter character. It is checked in step S12 whether there is a shimesu kanji, and if there is, a radical conversion step S
Proceed to 13. In the example of FIG. 4, it is checked in step S11 that there is a delimiter "ni" after the radical name "kihen", and the kanji "white" indicating the part other than the radical is input in advance after the delimiter. Is done in step S
Checked at 12.

If the conditions are not satisfied in step S10, step S11 and step S12, the process proceeds to step S14 for normal kana-kanji conversion. In radical conversion step S13, the character list data as shown in FIG. 7 is used to search for a kanji consisting of the radical name and the characters other than radicals that have been input, and if there is, that character is displayed. It is displayed on the device 12. In the example of FIG. 4, the characters for the radical name “kihen” checked in step S10 are searched in the list data of FIG. 7 in order, and the kanji for the character “white” checked in step S12 is determined to be “Kashiwa”. It Therefore, the input "Kihenni Shiro" is converted into "Kashiwa".

[Claim 4] As shown in FIG. 5, the character input step S15 is performed by the input device such as the keyboard 22 and the pen 24, and the conversion key on the keyboard 22 and the conversion button for the pen 24 are used. When the operation step S16 of kana-kanji conversion is performed by the above, the radical name list as shown in FIG. 6 is used to check in step S17 whether or not the radical name is included in the input conversion candidate character string. . In the example of FIG. 5, "tenen 11" is input in step S15, and when the list of radical names in FIG. 6 is sequentially examined in step S17, the radical name "tenen" is included.

If the radical name is included in step S17, it is checked in step S18 whether or not there is a predetermined delimiter character after the radical name, and it is further checked whether or not there is a number after the delimiter character. If it is found in step S19, the process proceeds to step S of radical conversion step S20. In the example of FIG. 5, in step S18, the radical name “Tehen”
It is checked that there is a delimiter "ni" after "," and that the number "11" indicating the number of strokes of the part other than the radical is previously input after the delimiter.
Checked at 19.

If the conditions are not satisfied in step S17, step S18 and step S19, the process proceeds to step S22 of the normal kana-kanji conversion. In radical conversion step S20, the Kanji character list consisting of radicals as shown in FIG. 6 is used to search for a Kanji character consisting of the input radical name and the stroke count of the portion other than the input radical. It is displayed on the display device 12 as a candidate. In the example of FIG. 5, a character corresponding to the radical name “Tehen” and the stroke number “11” of the portion other than the radical checked in step S17 is searched for in the list data of FIG. "Tsumiki, 摧, 涶, 攎" is obtained, and in step S21, the desired Kanji "摧" can be selected.

Further, in the above description, a case where a delimiter character and information other than radicals (reading, kanji, stroke count) are input after the radical name has been described, but as shown in the flowchart of FIG. It is possible to perform radical conversion according to the present invention regardless of whether the character is a radical name or information other than radicals (reading, kanji, number of strokes) before or after the character.

In the flowchart of FIG. 9, when character input is performed by the input device in step S23 and kana-kanji conversion operation is performed in step S24, a radical name list as shown in FIG. 6 is used. Radical names are sequentially checked, and it is checked in step S25 whether the radical name is included in the input conversion candidate character string. Step S25
If the radical name is included in step S26, it is checked in step S26 whether or not there is a delimiter character after the radical name, and information on the portion other than the radical after the delimiter character, that is, the reading of the portion other than the radical is read. In step S28, it is checked whether or not there is a character (kanji) in a part other than the radical and a number representing the number of strokes in the part other than the radical. Step S26 and step S2
If the condition of 8 is satisfied, radical conversion processing is performed in step S30. If the condition is not satisfied, normal kana-kanji conversion processing is performed in step S31.

If there is no delimiter character after the radical name in step S26, it is checked in step S27 whether there is a delimiter character before the radical name, and the part other than the radical is read before the delimiter character. It is checked in step S29 if there is any. If the conditions are satisfied in steps S27 and S29, radical conversion processing is performed in step S30. If the conditions are not satisfied, processing is performed as normal kana-kanji conversion in step S31.

Also, the delimiter is not limited to "ni", and for example, a delimiter such as "nimben + feet" or in the inventions of claims 2 and 3, such as "mushenen9". It is also possible to omit the delimiter character itself.
