2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a translation device for automatically translating an input original sentence described in a first language into a second language using a computer has been developed. As international exchanges have become more active, it has become more common to see multiple languages in one document. In this case, there has been a problem that the part written in a language other than the first language must be removed or the part must be translated into the first language to create the input original sentence. To solve this problem, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-
As described in Japanese Patent No. 165961, even if there is a part described in a language other than the first language in the input original sentence, a machine translation device that translates the language of the part into another language is known. There is.

Further, in correspondence between the original sentence file and the translated sentence file, there has been a problem that the matching between the translated sentence and the original sentence is impaired by editing such as addition or deletion of the original sentence file. As a solution to this problem, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1-23
As described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 0179, by retaining the correspondence information between the original text file and the translated text file as the original translation corresponding file, the original text / translated text file correspondence that eliminates the inconsistency of the translated text file caused by the change of the original text file The method is known.

Further, conventionally, since the correspondence between the original document and the translated document has been visually confirmed, a missing translation or an incorrect translation order has occurred. As a solution to this problem, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 3-269669, a translation document processing apparatus in which an original document and a translated document are provided with a correspondence information table and can be cross-referenced between character strings. It has been known. Further, when the input original sentence includes a typesetting code that does not need to be translated, the operator once deletes the translation type before the translation process, and adds it after the translation process. To solve this problem, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-16
As described in Japanese Patent No. 7060, a translation unnecessary portion is extracted from the input original sentence, and a portion separated into the unnecessary portions is translated to obtain the translated data and the translation unnecessary portion. Connected machine translation systems are known.

[0005] In addition, when different parts of different translations (sentences in which several translations are listed for the same source text) are often different, more interpretations are displayed for the particular part. I couldn't. As a solution to this problem, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-349527, in the translation of another translation, another translation is partially regenerated for a specified portion of the translation candidates. , A machine translation device that displays and edits a selected translated text is known. Further, when a desired word is selected from a document and translated, it is necessary to re-input the word to be translated from a keyboard or the like. As a solution to this problem, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 1-217565, there is described a translation device that designates a word in a first language and searches for and displays a corresponding second language. ing.

[0006]

However, JP-A-63-165961, JP-A-1-230179, JP-A-3-269669, and JP-A-4-16 are known.
No. 7060, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 4-349572, and Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 1-217565 are configured so that a translation target portion in an original sentence is correctly determined and machine translated efficiently. Although it is reduced, it is not intended to create documents in a format that is easy for operators to understand. For example, since the translation process target part in the original sentence and the translation process result are not configured to be associated with each other by a distinguishable symbolic character string, the operator cannot correctly understand the original sentence, the translation process target part, and the translation process result. There's a problem.

FIG. 31 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of document processing translated by a conventional machine translation device. As shown in FIG. 31A, for example, when an original sentence in which an English sentence is included in a Japanese document is translated, the obtained document is as shown in FIG.
As shown in, the document is a document in which an original sentence that is not translated and a translated sentence are mixed, or a document in which only the translatable portion as shown in FIG. 31C is extracted and translated. Therefore, FIG.
In the document processing example of (b), the translated part is deleted,
The original text that is not translated and the translated text are displayed together. That is, since there is no information about which part is translated, the original text of the translated part cannot be confirmed.
In addition, there is a problem that the creator of the original text loses the intention to describe it by combining two kinds of languages. FIG.
In the document processing example of 1 (c), since the original sentence is all deleted and only the translated sentence is displayed, it is impossible to understand the content of the original sentence because it is completely unknown to which part of the original sentence the document processing result is obtained. There's a problem.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and, for example, inserts identification information corresponding to a conversion target portion and a converted character string in an input original sentence into two displays.

-6] indicates a selection in which the selected input document or converted document is output as it is without performing symbol insertion or the like (output in the same output form as conventional).

FIG. 21 is an explanatory diagram showing a table storing search position information of the conversion target portion. The table of FIG. 21 is stored in the RAM 14. In FIG. 21, the search position is set as the start position of the conversion target portion and stored as a pair with the number of characters of the conversion target portion, but the start position and the end position of the conversion target portion may be paired and stored as a table.

The retrieval of the conversion target portion in the original text, the conversion processing, and the output of the identification symbol inserted document in the present invention are shown in FIGS.
This is done by executing the flowchart of FIG.
FIG. 22 is a flow chart showing each processing procedure of search, conversion, identification symbol insertion and output in the present invention. The conversion target part retrieval processing and the output of the identification symbol insertion document are performed by executing steps S22-1 to S22-14.

In step S22-1, the keyboard 18
Input the original sentence including the conversion target part from
It is stored in the inside document data storage area 15 in the form of FIG. 13, and the process proceeds to step S22-2. In step S22-2, a search method and an input document / converted document output method are selected. By selecting the search method and the processing method to be actually performed by displaying the windows of FIGS. 19 and 20, (by setting the device to a specific function in advance,
The selection of the search method and the processing method may be unnecessary), and the process proceeds to step S22-3.

In step S22-3, a preset search method (FIG. 26, FIG. 27, FIG. 28, FIG.
9, refer to the flowchart of FIG. 30), search / set the start position and the end position of the conversion target portion in the input document, and cut out the character string from the start position to the end position so that the conversion process can be performed. , And proceeds to step S22-4. In step S22-4, it is checked whether the start position and the end position are set in step S22-3. If they are set, the process proceeds to step S22-5, and if not, the process proceeds to step S22-8.

In step S22-5, the retrieved start position and the number of characters of the portion to be processed are converted into the table shown in FIG. 21, and the pointer / variable buffer 16 in the RAM 14 is stored.
Stored in, and proceeds to step S22-6. Step S2
In 2-6, preset processing (translates the character string from the start position to the end position and sets the translation result as the processing result. The character string from the start position to the end position is looked up in the dictionary and The dictionary lookup result is used as the processing result. A character string from the start position to the end position is searched from the database, and the search result is used as the translation result) to obtain the processing result document, and step S22- Proceed to 7.

In step S22-7, step S22 is performed.
As shown in FIG. 15, the processing result documents obtained in step -6 are stored in the document data storage area 15 in the RAM 14 as shown in FIG. 15, and the process proceeds to step S22-3. Step S
In 22-8, the search position number counter in the pointer / variable buffer 16 in the RAM 14 is set to 1 and the RAM 14
The target character pointer of the input document in the inside document data storage area 15 is set to the initial letter, and the process proceeds to step S22-9.

In step S22-9, it is checked whether or not the position of the character pointer of interest is the search position of the number of the search position number counter. If it is the search position, the process proceeds to step S22-10, and if not, the process proceeds to step S22-13. In step S22-10, the symbol of the number of the search position number counter to be inserted is selected from the table of FIG. 16 or 17, and the symbol is added to the beginning of the converted document (process document) of the symbol and the number of the search position number counter. The added character strings are used as an input result document and a processing result document, respectively, and step S22
Go to -1. In step S22-11, the search position number counter number and the focused character pointer are each incremented by 1, and the process proceeds to step S22-12.

In step S22-12, the input result document and the processing result document are output (see FIG. 23), and step S22
Return to 22-9. In step S22-13, the character in the input document at the position of the focused character pointer is output as the input result document (FIG. 23), and the process proceeds to step S22-14. In step S22-14, if all the input documents have been processed, the process ends. Otherwise, the focused character counter is incremented by 1, and the process returns to step S22-9.

According to the above construction, the identification information (identification symbol) corresponding to the conversion target part in the input original sentence and the converted character string is inserted, and the conversion target part of the input original sentence is converted. Since the character strings (conversion results) are associated with the same identification information, a document that is easy to understand can be obtained. Further, since the same search position number is inserted and associated with the converted character string in the input original sentence and the converted character string, a document that is easy to understand can be obtained.

When the processing is performed in step S22-6 in FIG. 22, the character string from the start position to the end position is translated and the result document is processed and the process proceeds to step S22-7. For example, since the conversion target part in the input original sentence and the translated translated sentence are displayed in association with each other by the identification information, an easily understandable document can be obtained.

When performing the process in step S22-6 in FIG. 22, the character string from the start position to the end position is looked up in the dictionary and the process result document is processed (step S22-7 in FIG. 6A). 6B and FIG.
The document (c) is obtained). For example, the headword of the word of the conversion target part in the input original text and the conversion result (dictionary result) obtained by reading the semantic information for the headword from the word dictionary are associated with the word of the conversion target part of the original text by the identification information. Since it is displayed as a document, a document that is easy to understand can be obtained.

When the processing is performed in step S22-6 in FIG. 22, the character string from the start position to the end position is searched from the database and the result document is processed in step S22-6.
7 (If the document of FIG. 7A is the input document, the process of FIG.
The documents of (b) and FIG. 7 (c) are obtained). For example, if the conversion target part in the input original text is personal name information, an address book (database) is searched, and the personal name information to which the address book information is added and the conversion target part are displayed in correspondence with identification information. Therefore, a document that is easy to understand can be obtained.

A document data storage area 15 in the RAM 14,
Of the information stored in the pointer / variable buffer 16, the input document data, the processed document data, the searched start position, and the table of the number of characters of the conversion target portion (see FIG. 21) are stored in the floppy disk 8 or the HD 12. 1
When the steps S22-1 to S22-7 are executed and the data is saved, and then the same input document and output are obtained by the same process, the saved data is stored in the RAM.
In step S22-1 by calling the document data storage area 15 in 14 and the pointer / variable buffer 16.
~ Without performing step S22-7, step S2
The output result can be obtained by executing steps 2-8 to step S22-14. For example, it is possible to arbitrarily select the most suitable display form without performing the input process and the conversion process again on the original text that has been input once.

FIG. 23 is a flow chart showing an output processing procedure for displaying and printing an input document. As shown in FIG. 23, the output of the input document such as display and printing is performed by executing steps S23-1 to S23-5. Further, this process is a process of forming the document data of FIG. 13 in the output format of FIG. 12 in the input result document, and the process document data of FIG. 15 in the process result document and the output of FIG. It can be said that this is a process for forming a formate. Step S23-
In 1, the character string passed in step S22-12 and step S22-13 of FIG. 22 is received, and the process proceeds to step S23-2.

In step S23-2, it is checked whether the output position is at the end of the line. If it is the end of the line, the process proceeds to step S23-3, and if not, the process proceeds to step S23-4. Step S23
In -3, line feed processing (in the case of printing, a line feed code is sent to the printer; in the case of display, the cursor is moved to the beginning of the next line) is performed, and the flow proceeds to step S23-4. In step S23-4, if the received character string is over, the process ends. Otherwise, one character is output and step S23-
Return to 2.

FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure for inserting a conversion document into a conversion target position in an input document.
It is necessary to perform processing such as enclosing the converted document in parentheses and insert the converted document at the conversion target position (search position) in the input document as shown in FIG.
Instead of step S22-10 to step S22-12 of step 2, step S24-1 to step S24-5 is performed. In step S24-1, the open parenthesis "[" to be inserted is selected, and the flow advances to step S24-2. In step S24-2, the character string of the conversion document of the number of the search position number counter is added to the opening bracket "[" selected in step S24-1, and the process proceeds to step S24-3.

In step S24-3, the closing parenthesis "]" is added to the character string in step S24-2, the character string is set as the input result document, and the process proceeds to step S24-4.
In step S24-4, the number of the search position number counter and the focused character pointer are each incremented by 1, and the process proceeds to step S24-5. In step S24-5, the input result document is output (see FIG. 23), and the process ends (return to step S22-9 in FIG. 22). Therefore, since the original sentence in which the conversion target is held and the conversion result can be viewed in one display area, a document that is easy to understand can be obtained.

FIG. 25 is a flow chart showing the processing procedure for selecting the format of the document to be output. The format of the document to be output is selected in step S22 in FIG.
Before performing -10, it is performed by performing steps S25-1 to S25-5. In step S25-1, according to the selection of the output document set in step S22-2 of FIG. 22, if no processing is performed, the process proceeds to step S25-3, and if not, the process proceeds to step S25-2.

In step S25-2, if the selection of the output document is insertion, the process proceeds to step S25-4, and if not, the process proceeds to step S25-5. In step S25-3, the input document and the processed document are output as they are (see FIG. 23).
Then, the process ends (returns to step S22-9 in FIG. 22). In step S25-4, a symbol insertion process (S22 of FIG. 22 is performed.
-10 to step S22-12 are performed) and the process ends (return to step S22-9 in FIG. 22). Step S2
In 5-5, the result insertion output (processing in FIG. 24) is performed and the processing is terminated (return to step S22-9 in FIG. 22). Therefore, it is possible to arbitrarily switch in what display form the conversion result for the conversion target portion in the input original sentence is displayed.

FIG. 26 is a flow chart showing the processing procedure for selecting the range of the conversion target portion in the input document. To select the range of the input document to be converted (at step S22-3 in FIG. 22), steps S26-1 to S26
-4 is done. Step S26
In -1, when the operator selects the start position in the input document by moving the cursor with the keyboard 18 or the like to make a decision, the selected position [12-2] is changed to the position shown in FIG.
Location of document data stored in RAM 3 [13-
1] and the process proceeds to step S26-2.

In step S26-2, step S26
In the same procedure as -1, the end position is selected and input and the process proceeds to step S26-3. In step S26-3, the character string from the start position to the end position is cut out so that it can be processed, and the process proceeds to step S26-4. In step S26-4, information that there is a start position and an end position is set and the process ends (proceeding to step S22-4 in FIG. 22). Therefore, the operator can arbitrarily specify and convert the range of the conversion target portion in the input original sentence.

FIG. 27 is a flow chart showing the processing procedure for searching the range of the conversion target portion in the input document by the type of character. Selection according to the type of characters in the range of conversion processing in the input document is performed by executing steps S27-1 to S27-12 (in step S22-3 in FIG. 2). In step S27-1,
If this search / selection process is the first execution, the process proceeds to step S27-2, and if not, step S27-3.
Proceed to. In step S27-2, the first character of the document is set in the search character pointer (held in [2-16]) that points to one character in the input document for searching, and the flow advances to step S27-3. .

In step S27-3, as shown in FIG.
2, the character type for performing the process set in step S22-2 is set, and the process proceeds to step S27-4. In step S27-4, it is checked whether the character indicated by the search character pointer is a search character, and if it is a search character, step S27-6.
Otherwise, to step S27-5. In step S27-5, the search character pointer is advanced to the next character, and the process returns to step S27-4 (if there is no next character at this time, the information that there is no start position and end position is set and the process ends) In S27-7, the position indicated by the search character pointer is set as the start position, and the step S
Proceed to 27-7.

In step S27-7, it is checked whether the character indicated by the search character pointer is a search character, and if it is the search character, the process proceeds to step S27-8, and if not, the process proceeds to step S27-9. In step S27-8, the search character pointer is advanced to the next character, and the process returns to step S27-7 (if there is no next character at this time, the information that there is no start position and end position is set and the process ends). Step S
In 27-9, the position one character before the search character pointer is set as the end position, and the flow proceeds to step S27-10.

In step S27-10, the contents of the search character pointer are not destroyed in the next search, so that the contents are saved in the area of the pointer / variable buffer 16 which is not used in other processing, and the process proceeds to step S27-11. move on. In step S27-11, the character string from the start position to the end position is cut out so that it can be processed, and the step S27-11 is executed.
Proceed to 27-12. In step S27-12, information that there is a start position and an end position is set and the process ends (proceeding to step S22-4 in FIG. 22). Therefore, the number of characters of the conversion target part in the original text and its position information are searched without the operator specifying the conversion target part in the input original text. Further, it is possible to prevent malfunction of the conversion process.

FIG. 28 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure for designating and searching one character of the conversion target portion in the input document. The selection of the processing range by designating one character of the part to be processed in the input document (in step S22-3 in FIG. 22)
This is performed by executing steps S28-1 to S28-10. In step S28-1, the character type for performing the process set in step S22-2 of FIG. 22 is set in advance, and the process proceeds to step S28-2.

In step S28-2, when the operator moves the cursor with the keyboard 18 or the like to specify one character in the input document, the RAM shown in FIG. 13 is selected.
It is converted to the position [13-1] of the document data saved in and is set to the search character pointer (held in [2-16]) that points to one character in the input document for searching. It proceeds to step S28-3. Step S28-3
Then, if the position indicated by the search character pointer is not the character to be processed, the process proceeds to step S28-5, and if not, the process proceeds to step S28-4.

In step S28-4, the retrieval character pointer is made to be the character one character before (-1) and step S28
Return to -3 (at this time, if there is no character preceding by one character, set information indicating that there is no start position and end position, and end). In step S28-5, the search pointer is set to the next character (+1), the character at the position indicated by the search character pointer is set as the start position, and the flow proceeds to step S28-6. In step S28-6, if the position indicated by the search character pointer is not the character to be processed, the process proceeds to step S28-7, and if not, the process proceeds to step S28-8.

In step S28-7, the retrieval character pointer is set to the next character (+1 is added) and step S28-6 is executed.
Return to In step S28-8, the search character pointer is set to the character one character before (-1), the character at the position indicated by the search character pointer is set as the end position, and step S28-8 is performed.
Proceed to 28-9. In step S28-9, the character string from the start position to the end position is cut out so that it can be processed,
It proceeds to step S28-10. In step S28-10, information that there is a start position and an end position is set and the process ends (proceeds to step S22-4 in FIG. 22). Therefore, the operator only needs to specify one character of the conversion target part (character string to be converted) in the input original text,
The number of characters in the specified conversion target part and its position information are searched. Moreover, the selection operation of the conversion target portion becomes simple.

FIG. 29 is a flow chart showing a processing procedure for searching the range of the conversion target portion in the input document by the decorative character. Selection of the conversion processing range in the input document by decorative characters (for example, underline)
This is done by executing steps S29-1 to S29-12 (in two steps S22-3). In step S29-1, if this search / selection process is the first execution, the process proceeds to step S29-2, and if not, the process proceeds to step S29-3. In step S29-2, the first character of the document is set in the search character pointer (held in [2-16]) that points to one character in the input document for searching, and the flow advances to step S29-3. .

In step S29-3, as shown in FIG.
2, the decoration type for performing the process set in step S22-2 is set, and the process proceeds to step S29-4. In step S29-4, it is checked whether the character indicated by the search character pointer is the designated decoration type, and if it is the designated decoration type, the process proceeds to step S29-6, and if not, step S2.
Go to 9-5. In step S29-5, the search character pointer is advanced to the next character, and the process returns to step S29-4 (if there is no next character at this time, information indicating that there is no start position and end position is set and the process ends). Step S29
In -6, the position indicated by the search character pointer is set as the start position, and the flow advances to step S29-7.

In step S29-7, it is checked whether or not the character indicated by the search character pointer is the designated decoration type. If the designated decoration type, the process proceeds to step S29-8. If not, the process proceeds to step S29-9. move on. Step S29-
In 8, the search character pointer is advanced to the next character and the process returns to step S29-7 (at this time, if there is no next character, the information that there is no start position and end position is set and the process ends). In step S29-9, the search character pointer 1
The position before the character is set as the end position, and step S29 is performed.
Go to -10.

In step S29-10, the search character pointer is saved in the pointer / variable buffer [2-16] area which is not used in other processing so that the contents will not be destroyed even in the next search, and step S29 is performed. -11
Proceed to. In step S29-11, the character string from the start position to the end position is cut out so that it can be processed, and the process proceeds to step S29-12. In step S29-12, information indicating that there is a start position and an end position is set and the process ends (proceeds to step S22-4 in FIG. 22). Therefore, in order to make the document being created input document easier to read, the conversion target part in the input source text is underlined in advance so that the conversion target part in the source text is not specified by the operator. The number of characters in the part and its position information are searched. Moreover, the selection operation of the conversion target portion becomes simple.

FIG. 30 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure for searching the range of the conversion target portion in the input document according to the type of format. Selection according to the type of document expression in the range in which conversion processing in the input document is performed (step S22-
3) by performing steps S30-1 to S30-12. In step S30-1, if the search / selection process is the first execution, the process proceeds to step S30-2, and if not, step S30-1.
Go to -3. In step S30-2, the first character of the document is set in the search character pointer (held in [2-16]) that points to one character in the input document for searching, and the flow advances to step S30-3. .

In step S30-3, as shown in FIG.
2 Set the format type for performing the processing set in step S22-2, and then proceed to step S30-4. Step S
In 30-4, it is checked whether the character indicated by the search character pointer is the format type to be processed, and if it is the format type to be processed, the process proceeds to step S30-6, and if not, the step S30 is performed.
Go to -5. In step S30-5, the search character pointer is advanced to the next character, and the process returns to step S30-4 (if there is no next character at this time, the information that there is no start position and end position is set and the process ends). Step S30-
In step 6, the position indicated by the search character pointer is set as the start position, and the flow advances to step S30-7.

In step S30-7, it is checked whether the character indicated by the search character pointer is the format type to be processed. If it is the format type to be processed, the process proceeds to step S30-8. If not, the process proceeds to step S30-9. move on. Step S30-
In 8, the search character pointer is advanced to the next character, and the process returns to step S30-7 (at this time, if there is no next character, the information that there is no start position and end position is set and the process ends). In step S30-9, the search character pointer 1
The position before the character is set as the end position, and step S30
Go to -10. In step S30-10, the search character pointer is saved in the pointer / variable buffer [2-16] area which is not used in other processing so that the content is not destroyed in the next search, and step S30-1.
Proceed to 1.

In step S30-11, the character string from the start position to the end position is cut out so that it can be processed, and the flow advances to step S30-12. In step S30-12, information that there is a start position and an end position is set, and the process ends (proceeding to step S22-4 in FIG. 22). Therefore, in order to make the part of the input document that is to be processed easier to read while creating the input document, the conversion target part of the input source text is pre-formatted and specified by the operator. The number of characters and the position information of the conversion target part in the original sentence are searched without any notice. Therefore, the selection operation of the conversion target portion is simplified. Note that FIG.
The various processes of 2 to 30 are automatically executed by the CPU 1.

According to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. (1) It is possible to insert the identification information (identification symbol) corresponding to the conversion target portion and the converted character string in the input original text and display them in two display areas in a distinguishable manner. Therefore, since the conversion target part of the input original text and the converted character string (conversion result) are associated with the same identification information, a document that is easy to understand can be obtained. (2) Since the same search position number is inserted and associated with the converted character string in the input original sentence and the converted character string, a document that is easy to understand can be obtained. (3) The display form of the conversion result for the conversion target part in the input original text can be arbitrarily switched. (4) It is possible to generate and display a document (for example, the conversion result is inserted in parentheses) in which the converted character string is inserted in a format that is easy to recognize at the end of the conversion target portion in the input original text. . Therefore, since the original sentence in which the conversion target is held and the conversion result can be viewed in one display area, a document that is easy to understand can be obtained. (5) Since the conversion target portion in the input original sentence and the translated translated sentence are displayed in association with each other by the identification information, an easily understandable document can be obtained. (6) The conversion result (dictionary result) obtained by reading the entry word of the word of the conversion target portion in the input original text and the meaning information for the entry word from the word dictionary, and the word of the conversion target portion of the original text correspond by the identification information. Since it is displayed together, a document that is easy to understand can be obtained. (7) If the conversion target part in the input original text is personal name information, an address book (database) is searched, and the personal name information with the address book information added and the conversion target part are displayed in correspondence with the identification information. As a result, a document that is easy to understand can be obtained. (8) The operator can arbitrarily specify and convert the range of the conversion target portion in the input original sentence. Also,
The conversion target part in the specified range and the converted character string are displayed in association with each other by the identification information. (9) The number of characters and the position information of the conversion target portion in the original sentence are searched without the operator specifying the conversion target portion in the input original sentence. Therefore, malfunction of the conversion process can be prevented. (10) The operator only needs to specify one character of the conversion target part (character string to be converted) in the input original text, and the number of characters of the specified conversion target part and its position information are searched. Therefore, the selection operation of the conversion target portion is simplified. (11) In order to make the input document easier to read, the conversion target part in the input original text is decorated with underlines in advance so that the conversion in the original text can be performed without the operator's designation. The number of characters in the target portion and its position information are retrieved. Therefore, the selection operation of the conversion target portion is simplified. (12) In order to make the document easier to read while creating the input document, the part to be processed in the input document can be specified in advance by changing the format of the conversion target part in the input original text. Without doing so, the number of characters of the conversion target part in the original text and its position information are searched.
Therefore, the selection operation of the conversion target portion is simplified. (13) It is possible to arbitrarily select the most suitable display form without performing the input process and the conversion process again on the original text that has been input once.
