Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The homonym synonym selection device 1 in the kana-kanji conversion system of the present invention has a configuration as shown in FIG. That is, an input unit 2 for inputting information and a kanji / idiom dictionary unit 5 for storing correspondence information between kanji / idioms and reading kana.
And a kanji / phrase retrieval unit 4 for receiving a reading of the desired kanji / phrase word input to the input unit 2 and searching the kanji / phrase dictionary unit 5, and a search result of the kanji / phrase retrieval unit 4 is output. And an output unit 3.

More specifically, the input unit 2 includes an input device 21 for inputting characters, symbols, and the like, and an input controller 22 for controlling the transmission of information input to the input device to the kanji / phrase retrieval means 4. The first reading kana information indicating the reading of the desired kanji / idiom, the second reading kana information described later, and the selection information are input.

The output unit 3 includes a kanji / phrase search unit 4
, An image controller 31 for controlling the display of the received image data as an image, a display 33 for controlling the image controller 31 to display information received from the kanji / phrase search means 4, and an image controller 31 for controlling the image controller 31. A display storage unit 32 for storing an image to be displayed on the display 33.

In addition, the kanji / idiom retrieval means 4 of the present embodiment comprises: a judging unit 41 for judging whether the reading / kana information of kanji / idiom has been inputted or selection information; a conversion candidate limiting unit 42; And a conversion candidate storage unit 43.

Here, the conversion candidate storage unit 43 temporarily stores a conversion candidate group obtained from the kanji / idiom dictionary unit 5 based on the first reading kana information. Further, the conversion candidate limiting unit 42 selects at least one kanji corresponding to the second reading kana information indicating another reading of the single kanji included in the desired kanji / idiom input from the input device 21 and performs conversion. The conversion candidate group stored in the candidate storage unit 43 is limited to a new conversion candidate group consisting only of kanji that matches one of the at least one selected kanji.

The kanji / idiom dictionary section 5 stores a plurality of kanji
The correspondence information between the idiom and a plurality of kanji and idioms and the reading kana for each is stored in advance.

Next, in the information processing apparatus of the present embodiment having such a configuration, a method of selecting a homonymous word when inputting Japanese and performing kana-kanji conversion is as shown in FIG. It consists of steps.

First, first reading kana information indicating the reading of a desired kanji / idiom is input from the input device 21 (step S1). Next, an instruction to convert kana to kanji based on the first reading kana information is issued (step S2). Upon receiving the kana-kanji conversion instruction, a conversion candidate group consisting of a plurality of kanji / idioms corresponding to the first reading kana information is selected from the kanji / idiom dictionary unit 5 in which a plurality of kanji / idioms are stored (step S).
3). Next, the selected conversion candidate group is stored in the conversion candidate storage unit 43.
Is temporarily stored (step S4), and the conversion candidate group is displayed (step S5). When the conversion candidate group is displayed, either the one-word selection or the second reading kana information input is performed with reference to the displayed conversion candidate group (step S6).

Here, one-word selection means to directly select a desired kanji / idiom from the displayed conversion candidate group. For example, by moving a cursor or the like to the displayed conversion candidate group. To select a desired kanji / idiom.

The input of the second reading kana information means inputting the second reading kana information indicating another reading of the single kanji included in the desired kanji / idiom. That is, when it is desired to obtain a kanji, it means that the user inputs the second reading kana information indicating a different reading from the first reading kana information of the desired kanji. If it is desired to obtain a idiom, it is necessary to input, in the first reading kana information, a reading indicating a part of any single kanji constituting the idiom and second reading kana information indicating another reading. means.

Next, it is determined whether one word has been selected or the second reading kana information has been input (step S7). If it is determined in step S7 that one-word selection has been made, the desired kanji / idiom selected by one-word selection is displayed (step S8). On the other hand, if it is determined in step S7 that the second phonetic kana information has been input, the second
At least one single kanji character corresponding to the reading kana information is selected from the kanji / idiom dictionary section 5, and the conversion candidate group temporarily stored in the conversion candidate storage section 43 is limited to a new conversion candidate group according to the selected one. Then, the new conversion candidate group is set as the conversion candidate group selected in step S3, and the process proceeds to step S4 again.

Here, a new conversion candidate group means that, for a desired kanji, a conversion candidate group temporarily stored in the conversion candidate storage section 43 is selected from the kanji / phrase dictionary section 5 in accordance with the second reading kana information. It is limited to only single kanji characters that match one of the at least one single kanji character. For a desired idiom, the conversion candidate group temporarily stored in the conversion candidate This is limited to those consisting only of idioms containing single kanji that match one of at least one single kanji selected from the kanji / kanji word dictionary unit 5 according to the reading kana information 2.

More specifically, in step S1,
When the first reading kana information indicating the reading of the desired kanji / kanji is input from the input device 21 and further a kana-kanji conversion instruction is given in step S2, the kanji / kanji word search means 4 in step S3 outputs Upon receiving the conversion instruction, a conversion candidate group corresponding to the first reading kana information is selected from the kanji / idiom dictionary unit 5, and in step S4, the selected conversion candidate group is temporarily stored in the conversion candidate storage unit 43. And outputs it to the output unit 3. In step S5, the output unit 3 displays the conversion candidate group on the display 33. Then, in step S6, the input device 21
When one word is selected or the second reading kana information is input, the kanji / idiom search means 4 receives any information via the input controller 22 and determines whether one word has been selected in the determination unit 41. Then, it is determined whether or not the second reading kana information has been input (step S7). Step S7
, If it is determined that one word selection has been made,
The idiom search means 4 selects the selected kanji / idiom from a group of conversion candidates stored in the conversion candidate storage unit 43 in accordance with the one-word selection information, and outputs the selected kanji / idiot to the output unit. Is output as the desired kanji / phrase (step S8). Here, the output destination (not shown) of the desired kanji / idiom requires the desired kanji / idiom. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S7 that the second reading kana information has been input, the kanji / idiom search unit 4 causes the conversion candidate limiting unit 42 to output a single kanji character corresponding to the second reading kana information If there are a plurality of single kanji characters, a plurality of single kanji characters are selected from the kanji / idiom dictionary unit 5, and the conversion candidate group stored in the conversion candidate storage unit 43 is selected. Is limited to a new conversion candidate group consisting only of a single kanji character (in the case of a idiom, a idiom containing that single kanji) that matches one of the single kanji characters. Further, the kanji / idiom search unit 4 outputs the limited new conversion candidate group to the output unit 3 (step S9).
At the same time, a new conversion candidate group is temporarily stored in the conversion candidate storage unit 43 instead of the above-mentioned conversion candidate group (second step S4). Upon receiving the new conversion candidate group, the output unit 3 displays the new conversion candidate group on the display 43 (second step S
5). Thus, finally, the desired kanji / idiom is output from the output unit 3.

[0038]

The following is a more specific example of "Hiroyuki"
The case where it is desired to obtain the idiom is described.

First, the first reading kana information "Hiroyuki" is input from the input device 21, and a kana-kanji conversion instruction is performed. When the kanji / idiom search means 4 receives the kana-kanji conversion instruction,
A conversion candidate group consisting of "Hiroyuki Hiroyuki ... Hiroyuki Hiroyuki ... Hiroyuki Hiroyuki ..." is selected from the kanji / phrase dictionary unit 5, and the conversion candidate group is stored in the conversion candidate storage unit 43 and output. Output to section 3. The output unit 3 displays the conversion candidate group on the display 33. Here, when the number of the displayed conversion candidate groups is small, “hiroyuki” may be designated by a cursor or the like displayed on the display. On the other hand, when the number of the conversion candidate groups displayed is large, “Haku”, which is another reading kana of the single kanji “Haku” included in “Hiroyuki” (a reading kana that is not “Hiro”), is changed to the second reading. Enter as kana information. When the second reading kana information “Haku” is input, this information is transmitted to the conversion candidate limiting section 42. The conversion candidate limiting unit 42 uses the second phonetic kana information “Haku” to select “Haku Foil Night White…” corresponding to “Haku” from the kanji / idiom dictionary unit 43, and further, A phrase (Hiroyuki) containing any one of "Haku Foil Night White ..." selected from "Hiroyuki Hiroyuki ... Hiroyuki Hiroyuki ... Hiroyuki Hiroyuki ..." stored in the conversion candidate storage unit 43
And a new conversion candidate group “Hiroyuki Hiroyuki Hiroyuki Hiroyuki ...” is output to the output unit 3. Output unit 3
Is the new conversion candidate group "Hiroyuki Hiroyuki Hiroyuki ..."
Is displayed on the display 43. At this point, if the number of the new conversion candidate group “Hiroyuki Hiroyuki Hiroyuki Hiroyuki ・ ・” is large, the pronunciation kana information (for example, “Sachi”) indicating another reading of “Yuki” is further input, and the conversion candidate group is further increased. May be limited. By such a selection method, finally, "Hiroyuki"
Is output from the output unit 3 as a desired idiom.

[0040]
