Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To speedily display a conversion result by paying attention to a reading character string before a cursor position at all times and generating a conversion candidate for the reading character string by a candidate network buffer each time the cursor position changes. SOLUTION: A candidate corresponding to a reading inputted from an input part 1 is retrieved from a KANA(Japanese syllabary)-KANJI (Chinese character) conversion dictionary 5 and registered in the candidate network buffer 3. Each time the cursor position changes and a conversion object reading character string changes, retrieval from the KANA-KANJI conversion dictionary 5 is performed again. When neither conversion key input nor the cursor is moved, conversion timing is judged and a 1st candidate registered in the candidate network buffer is displayed at a display part 2.

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

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of the document creating apparatus of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is an input unit for inputting a read character string, conversion instruction, cursor position movement instruction, etc.
A display unit that displays an input reading character string, a cursor, a conversion result, and the like, 4 is a storage unit that temporarily holds the input reading character string, the cursor position, and the candidate network buffer 3, and 6 is an external storage that includes a Kana-Kanji conversion dictionary 5. The device 8 is a control device that includes a kana-kanji conversion processing unit 7 having a conversion target reading management processing function depending on the cursor position, controls the above-mentioned units, and includes the kana-kanji character processing unit 7.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the configuration of the input section 1. The arrangement and number of keys are not limited to this example. A reading input key 9 is generally composed of a plurality of keys such as kana and alphabet. Reference numeral 10 is a conversion key for instructing conversion, and 11 is a cursor key which is one of pointing devices for moving the display position of the cursor. A mouse, a trackball, or a joystick can be used as the pointing device in addition to the above. Reference numeral 12 is a backward key for deleting a mistaken reading character string later, and 13 is a character deletion key. The present invention takes into consideration the case where an error occurs when the first input reading character string is input.

FIG. 3 shows processing steps of an embodiment of the document creating apparatus of the present invention. When the reading for executing the kana-kanji conversion processing is input from the reading input key 9 of the keyboard, the process proceeds to step 14. Next, Kana-Kanji conversion dictionary 5
Go to step 15 to search for a word corresponding to the input phonetic string.

The word (kanji) corresponding to step 15
If found, go to step 16 to register the word in the candidate network buffer.

In this state, when the cursor display position is changed by the operation of the backward key 12, the character deletion key 13 or the cursor key 11 and the conversion target reading character string is changed (step 17), the reading is again performed. It returns to step 15 which searches a dictionary by a character string.

When the conversion key 10 is pressed and input, or when there is no key input for a fixed time (about 3 seconds), it is determined that the conversion timing is reached (step 18), and the first candidate already registered from the candidate network buffer is selected. Extraction (step 19), conversion display (step 20)
Is displayed in the candidate display area 102 on the screen 100 (see FIG. 6).

FIG. 4 shows a reading character string input as “Tenkyo no Shirase” in the reading input 14 of FIG. 3 in the display area 101 on the display screen 100.

FIG. 5 shows the contents of the candidate network buffer 3, and shows candidates for the Kana-Kanji conversion dictionary 5 for the conversion target reading character string "Tenkyo" of the input reading character string "Tenkyo no Shirase". . In relation to this, the tree code provided under the candidate network buffer 3 will be described by taking “transcription” as an example, and “transcription” is a noun. There is no candidate on the left. To the right is a candidate called "yo". The upper candidate is the “turning point”. The bottom candidate is the "dot". Again, of course, when converting kana-kanji, the most optimal one is automatically output and displayed.

FIG. 6 shows a candidate display area 102 on the display screen 100 in which the cursor display position is changed from the state shown in FIG. 4, "yo" is deleted and the conversion target reading character string is changed to "tenki". It is a thing.

FIG. 7 shows candidate network buffers for the conversion target reading character string "tenki" in FIG. Normally, the most frequently used frequency for the conversion target reading character string “Tenki” or the notation of the first candidate used last time is shown in the top row, but the notation of the first candidate is the operator. If it is different from the notation that is requested by the operator, select from the other notations from the candidate network buffer according to the operator's instruction, place it at the top of the candidate network buffer, and display it as the first candidate. 100
It is displayed in the candidate display area 102.

FIG. 8 shows the Kana-Kanji conversion result when the conversion key is depressed and input in FIG. 7 or when there is no key input for a certain period of time.
In this example, the first candidate "weather" for the reading character string "tenki" is displayed.

In FIG. 9, the conversion key is pressed (input) by the operator (instruction) for the first candidate “weather” of the reading string “Tenki” in the candidate network buffer of FIG. One candidate is shown at the top of the candidate network buffer.

FIG. 10 shows a plurality of candidates, for example, as a matrix 103, for the “tenki” of the conversion target reading character string of the “tenki no wo” of the reading input of the candidate network buffer of FIG. In this matrix, the characters are shown in black on a white background in the drawing, but on the display screen 100 of the word processor, the background is black and the characters are shown in white.

This matrix is displayed on the display screen 1 of the word processor.
It is possible to further improve the document creation efficiency by displaying it at the lower right of 00 and designating a desired candidate with a ten key or the like. The display is not limited to matrix display.

[0021]

According to the present invention, the kana-kanji conversion dictionary is automatically searched every time the conversion target reading character string is changed by changing the cursor display position, or when the cursor is not moved for a certain period of time. Since the dictionary search is not performed again, the conversion candidates can be displayed quickly, and the document creation efficiency is improved.
