However, in the conventional data processing apparatus as described above, the conversion processing of character string data and the conversion processing of icon data are performed separately, and when inputting icon data. Requires mouse operation and menu operation, so it is necessary to suspend the input of the character string.

Therefore, when a sentence in which character string data and icon data are mixed is created, there is a problem that extra labor and time are required in addition to data input.

The present invention has been made in view of the problems of the above-mentioned conventional techniques, and it can generate character string data and icon data without extra labor and time other than inputting data. It is an object of the present invention to provide a data processing device capable of creating a mixed text.

After that, the selected object is inserted into the designated position of the character string stored in the text management unit 65, and a text is created.

The created text can be displayed on the display device 30 by the display processing unit 68 or can be stored in the storage device 20 by the text management unit 65.

Data processing in response to an input from the keyboard in the above-described data processing device will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an input image of icon data from the keyboard in the data processing apparatus shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of word / object conversion in the image shown in FIG. Yes, FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a processing procedure of the input processing unit in the image shown in FIG. 3, and FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a conversion processing procedure in the image shown in FIG.

Here, in FIG. 4, for the sake of explanation,
If the conversion candidate for the reading character string is a number, it means that the word table 64 is referenced, and if the conversion candidate is an alphabet, it means that the object table 67 is referenced, but in practice, an identification number for discrimination may be used. An address on the memory may be used.

In the state 1 shown in FIG. 3, the sentence "Enter with the icon on the right." Is displayed, and when a key input occurs (step S1),
It is determined whether the key input is a conversion key (step S2).

Similarly, whether the key input is the enter key (step S3), the cancel key (step S4), or the end key (step S).
5) is judged respectively.

In the example shown in FIG. 3, since the first key input was the character input "TE", it is judged that it is neither the conversion key, the enter key, the cancel key nor the end key,
"Te" is entered at the beginning of the undetermined character string (step S
6).

Hereinafter, the character input "n""ka" in FIG.
Similarly for "i", the loop of steps S1 to S6 is repeated, the undecided character string becomes "tenkai", and the state 2 shown in FIG. 3 is obtained.

Next, when the conversion key is pressed in step S1, the conversion process of the input "tenkai" is performed (step S7).

The conversion process will be described below with reference to FIG.

The conversion processing is performed in the word / object conversion processing unit 62 (see FIG. 1) in the following manner according to the processing procedure shown in FIG.

When the conversion process is started (step S1)
1) The data to be converted is divided for each clause (step S12). In addition, in the example shown in FIG. 3, it is one phrase of "tenkai".

Here, the word / object both-reference conversion dictionary 63 (see FIG. 4) stores candidates corresponding to the reading character string “Tenkai”.

Next, the candidates to be converted into "tenkai" are searched from the candidates stored in the word / object both-reference conversion dictionary 63 (see FIG. 4) (step S13).

If the desired candidate is found (step S14), the found candidate is examined (step S15), and it is determined whether or not it is an object (step S16).

If it is determined in step S16 that the candidate is an object, the object table 6
7 (see FIG. 4) is displayed (step S17), and if the candidate is determined to be a word in step S16, the word obtained in the word table 64 (see FIG. 4) is displayed. (Step S20). In the example shown in FIG. 3, since the first candidate is referred to by the numeral 7, it is determined that it is not an object but a word, and the word “expansion” in the word table 67 (see FIG. 4) is determined. It is converted and displayed (state 3).

After that, when the conversion key is pressed again (step S18), the process returns to check the second conversion candidate (step S15).

Then, the word / object both-reference conversion dictionary 63 (see FIG. 4) is searched for the second candidate corresponding to the reading character string. In the example shown in FIG. 3, it is found that the second candidate corresponding to the reading character string “Tenkai” is the object referred to by the alphabet B,
The object is displayed (state 4).

Then, when the enter key is pressed, conversion processing is performed and determination processing is performed (step S8).

Then, the input of the icon object to the document managed by the document management unit 65 by the input processing unit 61 is completed (state 5).

[0064]

As described above, in the data processing device according to the present invention, when a character string is input through the input device, the character string is input from the information stored in the word table or the object table. Since the information corresponding to the character string is selected and the input character string is converted to the selected character string by providing both the word and object conversion processing units,
The object data can be input as a character string, and there is no need to suspend the input of the character string when inputting the object data.

This makes it possible to create a sentence in which the character string data and the icon data are mixed, without spending extra time and labor other than inputting the data.
