DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

1. Description of Functional Block Diagram An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The kana-kanji conversion device 1 shown in FIG.
And character string display determining means 5, display means 9, input means 8, and individual information adding means 15.

The conversion dictionary 7 stores character strings to be converted and conversion candidate character strings corresponding thereto. Conversion means 3
Converts a conversion target character string into a conversion candidate character string based on the conversion dictionary, given a conversion target character string. The input means 8 is for the operator to input individual information for each operator for a certain conversion candidate character string among the conversion candidate character strings stored in the conversion dictionary 7. The individual information adding unit 15 adds the individual information input by the input unit 8 to the corresponding conversion candidate character string.

The character string display determination means 5 displays the conversion candidate character string converted by the conversion means 3 on the display means 9. When the conversion candidate character string includes the conversion candidate character string to which the individual information has been added, the added individual information is displayed together with the conversion candidate character string. Then, when a determination command is given, the individual information is hidden and the displayed conversion candidate character string is determined as a converted character string.

In this embodiment, the character string display determining means 5 stores the individual information of the conversion candidate character string in a display area outside the conversion character string display area of the display means 9 and in the vicinity of the conversion candidate character string. In this case, the individual information of the conversion candidate character string is displayed in the conversion character string display area of the display unit immediately after the conversion candidate character string. You may make it display in the state which can be distinguished from a conversion candidate character string.

A display value is added to the conversion candidate character string to which the individual information has been added and stored, and the individual information is displayed only when the display value exceeds the current threshold display value. You may do so.

A paraphrase value is added to each conversion candidate character string to which individual information is added and stored. If the paraphrase value of the character string exceeds a preset paraphrase threshold, The character string may be automatically changed to a corresponding paraphrase character string and output.

2. 2. Hardware Configuration FIG. 2 shows an example of a hardware configuration in which the character string conversion device 1 shown in FIG. 1 is realized using a CPU.

The character string conversion device 1 includes a CPU 23, a memory 27, a hard disk 26, a CRT 30, an FDD 25,
A keyboard 28, a mouse 31, and a bus line 29 are provided. The CPU 23 controls each unit via a bus line 29 according to a control program stored in the hard disk 26.

This control program is transmitted via the FDD 25 to the flexible disk 25 storing the program.
a and is installed on the hard disk 26. In addition to the flexible disk, a hard disk may be installed from a computer-readable storage medium in which a program such as a CD-ROM or an IC card is substantially integrated. Furthermore, you may make it download using a communication line.

In the present embodiment, the program is installed from the flexible disk to the hard disk 26 so that the computer indirectly executes the program stored in the flexible disk. However, without being limited to this, the program stored in the flexible disk is stored in the FDD25.
Alternatively, it may be executed directly from. Note that, as a program executable by a computer, not only a program that can be directly executed by simply installing it as it is, but also a program that needs to be once converted into another form or the like (for example,
Decompression of data that has been compressed, etc.), and also includes those that can be executed in combination with other module parts.

The memory 27 stores various calculation results and the like. On the CRT 30, conversion candidates and the like are displayed. The memory 27 is a kana character buffer 27a and a phrase candidate buffer 2
7c, and has a fixed character string buffer 27k. The hard disk 26 has a control program 26a and a dictionary unit 26b. In the present embodiment, the dictionary unit 26b constitutes the conversion dictionary 7.

3. Next, a program stored in the hard disk 26 will be described.

3.1 Registration Processing Next, referring to FIG. 3, a word comment as individual information is
Processing for adding a conversion candidate character string to a word will be described. In this case, the case where the word comment “sales department” is input for the word “Watanabe” will be described. When a word comment editing switch (not shown) on the CRT 30 is clicked with the mouse 31, a word comment editing dialog shown in FIG. 3 is displayed. The word “Watanabe” is read into the word display 44, the word “Watanabe” is read into the reading display 46, the part of speech “proper noun” is input into the part of speech display 47, and the word comment “sales department” is input into the word comment display 48. When the input is completed, when the registration switch 41 is clicked with the mouse 31, the registration operation is completed. As a result, as shown in FIG. 4, the word comment "sales department" is input to the dictionary section 26b for the word "watanabe".

Similarly, the word comment "development department" is input for the word "watabe".

By clicking the addition switch 42 with the mouse 31, a word comment can be added to the already registered word comment. When deleting a word comment, the delete switch 43 may be clicked with the mouse 31.

3.2 Word Comment Display Processing Next, word comment display processing will be described with reference to FIG. Here, a case will be described in which Watanabe of the Sales Department and Watanabe of the Development Department have the same reading "Watanabe" at the company and create an e-mail addressed to Watanabe belonging to the Sales Department.

When a character string to be converted is input and a conversion key (not shown) is operated, the CPU 23 reads the input character string from the kana character buffer 27a (step ST2 in FIG. 5). In this case, the character string to be converted shown in FIG. 6A is read from the Kana character buffer 27a.

The CPU 23 initializes the conversion phrase number i and the flag j, and performs a phrase separation process (step ST4). Such phrase separation is the same as in the conventional method. In brief, the data (word information, grammar information, etc.) stored in the dictionary unit 26b extracts a phrase candidate of a reading character string from the data in the kana character string buffer 27a. Further, the extracted phrase candidates are grammatically and semantically checked using other grammatical data stored in the dictionary unit 26b, and the phrase candidates are narrowed down. Along with the narrowing down, a phrase separation process is performed.

Next, the CPU 23 performs conversion candidate determination processing for the i-th phrase (step ST6).
In the present embodiment, the determination processing is performed by the minimum cost method. The determined conversion candidates are stored in the phrase candidate buffer 27c. A known method other than the minimum cost method may be used.

Next, the CPU 23 determines whether or not a character string with a word comment exists in the first phrase (step ST8). This corresponds to the dictionary unit 26b shown in FIG.
Can be determined by referring to. In this case, since the first character string is “sales department,” there is no character string with a word comment, and the process proceeds to step ST12.

Next, the CPU 23 determines whether or not the conversion processing has been performed for all the clauses (step ST8 in FIG. 5). In this case, since everything has not been done,
The conversion clause number i is incremented (step ST1).
0) Conversion candidate determination processing is performed for the second phrase "Watanabe" (step ST6). Next, CPU2
No. 3 determines whether or not a character string with a word comment exists in the second phrase (step ST8). In this case, 2
In the second clause, "Watanabe" which is a character string with a word comment
Is included, the process proceeds to step ST10, and the word comment “(sales department)” is added to “Watanabe”. That is, "Watanabe (sales department)" is stored in the phrase candidate buffer 27c.

This process is repeated, and if it is determined in step ST12 that all the conversion processes have been performed,
The PU 23 determines whether or not the flag j is 1 (Step ST15). In this case, since the flag j is 0 in step ST4, the conversion clause number i is initialized (step ST16).

Next, the CPU 23 displays conversion candidates for all phrases on the CRT 30] (step ST1).
7). As a result, as shown in FIG. 6B, "... Sales Department, Watanabe (Sales Department) Today ..." is displayed.

By looking at the display, the operator checks whether the conversion is correct. Then, a key input is performed according to the determination result.

The CPU 23 determines which key has been input (step ST18). Therefore, in this case, since the mail is addressed to the sales department “Watanabe”, when the operator looks at the word comment and determines that there is no mistake in the conversion, he presses the enter key (not shown). As a result, as shown in FIG.
Sales department, Mr. Watanabe today ... "is displayed with the word comment deleted and the confirmed character string buffer 27k
Stores a conversion candidate character string with the word comment deleted (step ST22). As described above, the word comment is only displayed and is not stored in the fixed character string buffer 27k.

On the other hand, if "Sales Department, Watanabe Department (Development Department), today ..." is displayed in step ST17, the operator displays the correct kanji as follows. It should be done.

The operator refers to the word comment and judges that the displayed "Watabe" is a kanji corresponding to the Watabe of the development department, so that an incorrect conversion has been performed. Therefore, first, the target phrase change key (not shown) is operated to set the second phrase “Water” as the target phrase. Thereby, the CPU 23 changes the conversion clause number i to the corresponding number and sets the flag j to 1 (step ST).
20). When the operator presses another candidate conversion key (not shown), the CPU 23 displays the next candidate of the second phrase. In step ST20, the flag j is set to 1
Therefore, the process of step ST16 is not performed, and the focused phrase is not changed. The operator may operate the other candidate key and repeat the process until the desired kanji is displayed.

If the segment break is incorrect for the displayed candidate, the operator presses a segment break change key (not shown). As a result, the CPU 23 performs a phrase segmentation process (step ST4), and repeats the processing from step ST6 onward for a new phrase.

To cancel the input, the operator presses an input cancel key (not shown). Thereby, the CPU 2
3 ends the conversion process.

As described above, in this embodiment, the user can freely add a free word comment that is not stored in the confirmed character string buffer 27k at the time of finalization. Therefore, it is possible to provide a kana-kanji conversion device capable of performing conversion work efficiently. That is, by adding a character string that is not output at the time of finalization to the conversion candidate character string as individual information, the conversion work can be made more efficient.

4. Second Embodiment Next, a second embodiment will be described. In the above embodiment, only the word comment of a word is displayed. However, a paraphrase word may be stored as a paraphrase character string for the word. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, a paraphrase word is stored in advance in the word comment editing dialogue in addition to the word comment of the word. As a result, at the time of displaying the candidate, "..
・ Watanabe (sales department) ... ”is displayed, but after confirmation, the display is changed to a paraphrase,“ ... Kenichi Watanabe ... ”, and the conversion candidate character string“ Watanabe ”is displayed. "Kenichi" is stored in the confirmed character string buffer 27k.

Specifically, when performing the paraphrase display, when a paraphrase key (not shown) is pressed,
The paraphrasing process may be performed in step ST18. In addition, it may be stored so that the automatic paraphrasing process is performed without performing the display after the paraphrasing, and the automatic paraphrasing may be performed in step ST6.

Also, regarding the above-mentioned word comment display,
For each word, use the mouse 3
By clicking with 1, the mode “display this word comment” or the mode “do not display this word comment” can be set. This makes it possible to switch the display / non-display of the word comment without deleting the word comment added to each word. For example, the setting may be set to “display this word comment” when creating an in-house document, and the mode may be set to “not display this word comment” when creating an external document. In this way, word comments can be displayed only when necessary according to the type of document being created.

In this embodiment, when the mode "display this word comment" is selected, the level can be further set. Then, a predetermined threshold level is separately set in advance, and when the display level of each word exceeds the threshold level, a word comment display of the word is performed. In this case, as a process, it is determined whether or not the character string is a word with a word comment, and whether or not the display mode is in the word comment display mode and the display level exceeds a threshold is determined in step ST8 in FIG. What should I do? This makes it possible to flexibly set whether to display a comment for each word or not.

In the case of "paraphrase display", "paraphrase display" or "non-paraphrase display" can be similarly switched and each level can be set by the paraphrase display switch 55.

Further, in this embodiment, for each word, the mode "both display" or the mode "both display" can be set by clicking the double display switch 52 with the mouse 31. The two-sided display means a comment display and a paraphrase display. In this way, it is possible to set whether to display all at once, separately from the level setting for the comment display and the paraphrase display. That is, no matter what level is set for comment display or paraphrase display, if this overall level does not exceed a preset threshold, comment display and paraphrase display are not performed for the word.

FIG. 8 shows the data structure of the dictionary section 26b in this case. For the word "Watanabe", the word comment "Sales Department"
The paraphrase "Kenichi Watanabe", the both-side display level "30", the word comment display level "80", and the paraphrase display level "60" are stored. Similarly, the word "Watanabe"
In addition, the word comment "development department", paraphrases "Osamu Watanabe"
Both display level “30”, word comment display level “4”
0, paraphrase display level “30” is stored.
Also, the word "circumvention" is replaced with the word comment "
In other words, the paraphrase word “U”, the both-side display level “60”, the word comment display level “40”, and the paraphrase display level “5”
"0" is stored. The word "Ichitaro" stores a word comment "registered trademark", a paraphrase "-", a both-side display level "40", and a word comment display level "40".

As described above, the personal information different for each operator with the same name is displayed as a word comment, and the paraphrase and the display level are set, so that the word comment function can be flexibly operated. And operability is improved.

In this embodiment, the case where there are a plurality of words having the same reading has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and any term that improves the conversion efficiency of kanji conversion whether it is correct to display as a word comment may be used. For example, a word is a registered trademark, it is out of common use kanji, a wrong term is input (for example, a simulation is correct, but a simulation is input), or a word that is not used in official sentences. It may be displayed that there is, or that the term restricts use.

Since these terms are not individual but individual and somewhat the same, they may be stored in the dictionary section 26b in advance.

In this embodiment, whether or not to display word comments can be set for each word. However, whether or not to display word comments is set in advance for each word type. Alternatively, it may be possible to set whether or not to display for each type of the word comment based on the type of the word comment. This makes it possible to set a group for displaying word comments and the like according to the document being created. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the word "and", the word comment "public sentence", the paraphrase "and", the both display level "70", the word comment display level "80", and the paraphrase display level "80" And the word "accordingly", the word comment "official sentence", the paraphrase "accordingly", and both display levels "7"
0, the word comment display level “80”, and the paraphrase display level “80” are stored.
In the case of a public sentence, a mode in which a word comment is displayed only for words to which a comment “public sentence” is added may be provided. Further, a plurality of word comments for which the display function is turned on may be selected in addition to the word to which one word comment is added. further,
The group name of the superordinate concept may be stored in the word comment so that the group can be specified by such a group.

In the present embodiment, when the operator inputs a new word comment, the operator does not input it every time, but as shown in FIG.
1, a word comment that has already been registered is displayed, and a comment is selected from these. For example, when a new registered trademark is to be stored, the word comment “registered trademark” is already stored.
1, the word comment "registered trademark" may be displayed and selected.

5. Other Embodiments In the above-described embodiment, individual information is displayed separately from the conversion candidate character string.However, after displaying the individual information as a conversion candidate character string including the individual information, when a determination command is given, A kana-kanji conversion device that outputs a character string excluding the individual information as a converted character string may be used. That is, the present invention can be understood as the following inventions.

A conversion dictionary in which individual information is added to at least a part of the conversion candidate character strings corresponding to the conversion target character strings and the conversion candidate character strings corresponding thereto, Given a sequence, the conversion target character string is output as a converted character string based on the conversion dictionary based on the conversion candidate character string, and the conversion candidate character string to which the individual information is added includes the individual information. A converted character string output means for outputting the individual information addition conversion candidate character string to which the character string is added as a converted character string, a display means for displaying the converted character string output from the converted character string output means, and a determination command. A character string determination unit that outputs a character string excluding the individual information from the converted character string as a converted character string. When a user specifies individual information and a conversion candidate character string to which the individual information is to be added, there is provided individual information adding means for adding the specified individual information to the conversion candidate character string stored in the conversion dictionary. Kana-kanji conversion device characterized by the following.

Further, the present invention is a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer-executable program, wherein the program realizes the apparatus or method according to any one of claims 1 to 6. It can also be understood as a storage medium characterized by a certain feature.

In the above embodiment, the word comment is displayed immediately after the converted character string.
A word comment may be displayed as the balloon 100 as shown in FIG. In this embodiment,
The balloon 100 is displayed between the converted character string display areas, and the foot of the balloon 100 is drawn out from “Watanabe” displayed in the converted character string display area. By specifying this display method, the flow of sentences is not hindered by word comment display,
Since the word comment is displayed near “Watanabe”, it is clear which word comment is given to which notation.

Note that, in an area other than the converted character string display area,
The method for displaying the word comment is not limited to the method using the balloon 100.

A word comment may be displayed at the end of the character string at the time of conversion. As a result, even when the notation having the word comment information is in the middle of the character string, the word comment is displayed following the end of the character string, so that the flow of the sentence is hindered by the word comment display. There is no.

Note that the word comment may be displayed only when the phrase of the conversion candidate character string having the word comment becomes the noticeable phrase.

The word comment may be modified by a special display color. Furthermore, these modification methods may be configured so that the user can arbitrarily customize them.

In this embodiment, it is also possible to change the display color of characters, the background color, or open a warning window together with or instead of displaying the word comment. Further, it is possible to specify a method of issuing a warning by voice information such as voice and warning sound. By specifying this method, it is possible to appeal to the hearing of the document creator and draw attention.

Further, in this embodiment, it is possible to specify that the notation specified by the individual information is displayed with modification, in addition to the word comment display and the warning sound, or in place of the word comment display. By performing this designation, it is possible to appeal to the sight of the document creator and draw further attention. As the control information, the form of the decoration, the necessity of holding the decoration data after the determination, and the like may be specified.

In the above embodiment, one or more display methods are configured so that the user can specify one of the display methods. However, the display methods that can be specified are limited to a part of the above display methods. It is also possible.

In the above-described embodiment, the word comment is displayed immediately after the converted character string. However, the word comment is added and displayed before the head of the converted character string. May be.

Note that the comment display level and the paraphrase display level may automatically change numerical values according to the display frequency and the like. For example, the comment display level may initially be "60", but may be increased or decreased by a predetermined value each time a display is made. The same applies to the paraphrase display level.

Further, words to which a comment has been added are displayed on the CRT 30 in descending order based on the value of the comment display level or the paraphrase display level, and can be deleted or copied. May be. Thus, for example, when the same conversion dictionary is used in the same department of a company, maintenance according to the operator's need can be easily performed.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where each word comment added character string is composed of one word has been described as an example, but the added character string is a character string of two or more words, a sentence, a sentence, It may be a table or the like.

In order to store word comments in the individual information section of the dictionary, JIS code or UNICODE may be used, and the CSV format may be used as the arrangement format of the data in the individual information section.
