Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a document preparing device with which a confirmed word can be preferentially converted at the time of Japanese syllabary (KANA)/ Chinese character (KANJI) conversion when an operator hesitates in the selection of a word suitable for a context at the time of document preparation. SOLUTION: Corresponding to the input of a dictionary reference executing part starting instruction key, a dictionary reference execution control part 61 displays a function selection window, inputs relevant reading, retrieves a dictionary storage device 62 and displays the relevant word. When a dictionary is completely referred to by an end key after the meaning or the example of use of the relevant word is confirmed by a word switching key, the word at the time of end is stored in a learning memory 53. Afterwards, the learnt word is preferentially converted by a KANA/KANJI conversion executing part 5.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention has a kana-kanji conversion function for converting an input Japanese reading character string into a desired kanji-kana mixed character string and a dictionary lookup function for checking the meanings and examples of words. The present invention relates to a document creation device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the conventional kana-kanji conversion by a conventional document creating apparatus, when there are a plurality of corresponding words for an arbitrary reading, a general method is to select a target word from the corresponding words. The operator's individual national language ability is required to select a word in the context from the plurality of words.

Therefore, when the operator cannot determine which word to use, it is necessary to suspend the input work and look up the dictionary.

For such a case, JP-A-62-1338
As described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 79, a method of displaying the meaning of a word by a dictionary search function and confirming a semantically appropriate word,
As described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-61759, there is a method of searching a national language dictionary file from one word that has undergone kana-kanji conversion and displaying the meaning of the word.

[0005]

However, JP-A-62-23
In Japanese Patent No. 3879 and Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2-61759, there is a problem that a word needs to be selected by making a kana-kanji change again when creating a document simply by confirming the meaning of the word.

An object of the present invention is to provide a document creating apparatus for converting a word confirmed by looking up a dictionary with priority in the subsequent Kana-Kanji conversion.

[0007]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an input device for inputting Japanese readings, a kana-kanji conversion means for converting the readings into a character string mixed with kanji kana, and a kana-kanji conversion time. A learning memory that stores the confirmed conversion result, a display device that displays a character string mixed with kanji and kana, a dictionary lookup means that searches the meaning and example of a word and displays it on the display device, and activates the dictionary lookup means In a document creation device equipped with a key and a key for ending the dictionary lookup means, means for designating a unique word from a plurality of words searched by the dictionary lookup means, and a word designated by the word designating means And a means for storing the word stored in the word storage memory in the learning memory when the dictionary lookup key is input.

When a document is created by the document creation device, it is possible to create a document while checking the meanings and examples of the words to be input on the document creation device, and therefore it is possible to prevent the creation of a document using an incorrect word.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a document preparation device such as a Japanese word processor showing an embodiment of the present invention.
1 is an input device for inputting Japanese readings, for example,
A keyboard as shown in FIG. 2, 2 is a control unit that controls the entire apparatus, 3 is a display device that displays input characters, and 4 is a readable / writable document memory that temporarily stores an input mixed Kanji / Kana sentence, Reference numeral 5 is a kana-kanji conversion execution unit for converting the reading into a sentence containing kanji and kana characters, and 6 is a dictionary lookup execution unit.

2 is a keyboard showing an example of the configuration of the input device 1 of FIG. 1, 101 is a dictionary key for instructing the activation of the dictionary lookup execution unit 6, and 102 is a fifty-fifth input for reading kana-kanji conversion. A sound key, 103 a conversion key for instructing kana-kanji conversion, 104 an execution key for instructing execution of a function,
Reference numerals 105, 106, 107 and 108 denote cursor movement keys for moving the cursor displayed on the display device 3 up, down, left and right,
109 is an end key for instructing the end of each function.

First, the kana-kanji conversion according to the embodiment of FIG. 1 will be described.

When a kana-kanji conversion target reading is input from the input device 1, the control part 2 sequentially stores the input readings in the document memory 4 and displays it on the display device 3 as well as the kana-kanji conversion execution control part. Hand over to 51. The kana-kanji conversion execution control unit 51 sequentially executes kana-kanji conversion while searching the kana-kanji conversion dictionary 52 based on the delivered reading. When the conversion key 103 for outputting the conversion result is input after the input of the reading for kana-kanji conversion is completed, the kana-kanji conversion execution control unit 51 refers to the learning memory 53 and recognizes the words stored in the learning memory. If there is a matching conversion word, that word is given priority and passed to the control unit 2 together with other conversion candidates. The control unit 2 replaces the conversion result with the reading stored in the document memory 4, and displays the content on the display device 3. These series of operations are the basic configuration of kana-kanji conversion such as Japanese word processor. The control unit that controls the Kana-Kanji conversion operation controls the transfer of the conversion reading to the Kana-Kanji conversion execution unit and the storage and display of the conversion result in the document memory.

In the case where a plurality of words exist for arbitrary readings during kana-kanji conversion, the priority is given to the word if the word is stored in the learning memory, or the kana-kanji conversion dictionary if not stored. The method of outputting in the order of being stored in JP-A-60-189565 is described in JP-A-60-189565.

Next, the content of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to an example of conversion from "going out of the world" to "oriented to world peace".

First, in order to confirm an appropriate word for "shikou", the control unit 2 activates the dictionary lookup execution unit 61 when the dictionary key 101 is pressed from the input device 1. Hereinafter, a description will be given according to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, in process 610, the dictionary lookup window 900 shown in FIG. 4 is displayed on the display device 3, and a key input waiting state is entered. When a key input is performed in process 611, it is determined in process 612 whether or not the dictionary is a target for reading the dictionary, and if it is read, process 613 sets the input read at the cursor position 902 in the display area 901 and the screen of FIG. The display is performed as in the display example, and the process proceeds to step 611. When the execution key 104 for instructing execution of the dictionary is input in process 611, the dictionary storage device 62 in the read-only memory (ROM) is searched for the word and the meaning or example of the word corresponding to the reading “shikou” input in process 615. In order to recognize that the word is the corresponding word of the displayed meaning / example, for example, the corresponding word “private line” is inverted in black and white and displayed on the display device 3 as shown in FIG. If the subsequently input key is the key 105 or 107 for switching the word, the black / white inversion of the word is moved in process 617 (FIG. 7), and the meaning and example corresponding to the word are transferred to the process 611 for switching.

The left and right cursor keys 105 or 107
After confirming the "intention" to switch the word with kana to kana-to-kanji conversion, press the end key 109 for instructing the end of the function. In process 618, if the end key, the learning memory registration means 63 is executed. If it is other than the end key, process 619
Then, for example, an abnormal sound is output and the process moves to step 611.

In the learning memory registration means 63, first, the processing 6
The reading input in the reading input area 901 at 31 is shown in FIG.
In the reading storage area 641 of the word storage memory 64 shown in (1), the word “intention” which was highlighted in black and white when the end key 109 is input is set in the notation storage area 642 of the word storage memory 64. Next, after setting the words stored in the word storage memory in the process 632 to the reading area 531 and the notation area 532 of the learning memory 53 shown in FIG. finish.

After confirming the word by the above dictionary lookup, if the Kanji conversion is performed by inputting "Sekai Heiwa Shisuko" from the input device 1, the word corresponding to "Shikou" in the Kana-Kanji conversion dictionary will be displayed. Even if the memory order is, for example, “trial, orientation, construction, thinking, intention, enforcement, private banking”, since “Shikou intention” is registered in the learning memory, “Aim for world peace” is output with priority. can do.

In the present embodiment, the dictionary storage unit 72 is a read-only memory built in the document creation device.
It may be an external storage device such as a floppy disk or a compact disk.

[0022]

According to the present invention, by confirming a word in a context by looking up a dictionary, the confirmed word is preferentially converted in the subsequent kana-kanji conversion. Therefore, when kana-kanji conversion is performed, the corresponding word is selected again. It becomes possible to omit the operation,
You can efficiently create appropriate documents.
