[0005]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, in the character string information processing apparatus according to the first aspect of the present invention, when the character string information is being input, a character string belonging to a first language is compared with the already input character string information. Extracting a part to be converted to characters, extracting a character belonging to a first language corresponding to the part, and extracting a part to convert the character string information to characters belonging to a second language, The second corresponding to this part
A second extraction means for extracting characters belonging to the first language, and a first language for a part where the part extracted by the first extraction means and the part extracted by the second extraction means overlap. And output means for outputting characters belonging to the second language and characters belonging to the second language.

The character string information processing apparatus is applied to, for example, a language conversion system for inputting Roman characters.

In this configuration, during the input of the character string information, a part for converting the already input character string information into a character belonging to the first language and a part for converting the character string information into the character belonging to the second language are included. Take out each. And
For the part where the two parts overlap, both the characters belonging to the first language and the characters belonging to the second language are output. As described above, since the characters belonging to the first language and the characters belonging to the second language are output, for example, by selecting either language on the display unit, It is possible to easily input character string information in which a plurality of languages are mixed without switching the input mode.

The character string information processing apparatus according to the second aspect of the present invention extracts a part to be converted into a word belonging to the first language from the inputted character string information, and belongs to the first language corresponding to this part. First extracting means for extracting a word, and second extracting means for extracting a part to be converted to a word belonging to a second language from the character string information and extracting a word belonging to a second language corresponding to this part And a part where the part to be converted to a word belonging to the first language and a part to be converted to a word belonging to the second language overlap each other, Output means for outputting a word to which the word belongs as a conversion candidate.

The character string information processing apparatus is applied to, for example, a language conversion system for inputting Roman characters.

In this configuration, a portion for converting the input character string information into a word belonging to the first language and a second
Extract the parts to be converted into words belonging to the language. And about the part where these two parts overlap,
Both words in the first language and words in the second language are output as conversion candidates. As described above, since the words belonging to the first language and the words belonging to the second language can be output as conversion candidates, for example, it is necessary that either of the languages can be selected on the display unit. Thus, character string information in which a plurality of languages are mixed can be easily input without switching the input mode.

[0011] The invention described in claim 3 is characterized in that the character string information is inputted by inputting a Roman character, the first language is Japanese, and the second language is English. .

In this configuration, since the input is Roman alphabet input, the key arrangement when inputting in Japanese and English does not change. Therefore, the operator can perform the input operation without switching the thinking.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a character string information display device which fetches information output from the output means of the character string information processing device according to any one of the first to third aspects. And a display means for displaying in a first language and a second language in parallel.

The character string information display device is applied, for example, to a display system that performs display processing on the output of a language conversion system to which the character string information processing device is applied.

With this configuration, the input character string information is displayed in the first language and the second language. Therefore, even if the input character string information is a mixture of a plurality of languages, the input character string information is displayed in parallel in the first language and the second language.

FIG. 3C illustrates the configuration of the input buffer. The state T0 shown in FIG. 3A is a state where the input buffer is empty and waiting for input, and a state T1 is a state where the input buffer is not empty and is waiting for input. The term “in the middle of input” according to the present invention refers to the state T1. The transition between the states T0 and T1 will be described with reference to FIG. The current state is T
When a key other than character input such as a conversion key or a function key is operated at 0 (n1, n2), an input error is determined (n3). At this time, no processing is performed on the input buffer 3. Also, the state does not transition to T1 (state T

In the above (1) to (6), when the operation shown on the left side of-is performed, the processing described in "" on the right side of-is performed. Then, the state T1 is held.

When a key other than the above-mentioned keys is operated irrespective of the states T0 and T1, processing corresponding to the key is performed.

In this embodiment, the author inputs “datetotimewoconfirms” by inputting a Roman character.
eyo ”and character string information, and enter“ date and time ”.
The following description will be made by taking as an example a case where a character string “confirm” is obtained. The input buffer 3 shown in FIG. 3C stores, as character string information, the character codes of the operated keys in that order.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the Japanese language analysis processing in the Japanese language extraction unit. The Japanese extraction unit 4
For the character string information stored in the input buffer 3,
Performs Roman alphabet Kana conversion in order from the beginning, determines the area where Roman alphabet kana conversion can be performed, determines the area where Roman alphabet kana conversion cannot be performed, the invalid area, and determines whether the subsequent input is a confirmed area or invalid area without input. An area that cannot be determined is taken out as an undetermined area (n11). Here, "datetotimewoconfi" is stored in the input buffer 3.
It is assumed that all the character codes when "rmseyo" is operated are stored. The Japanese extraction unit 4 determines each area as shown in FIG. In the figure, ○ indicates a confirmed area, and × indicates an invalid area. For example, if the input character code is "da", the area is defined as a defined area, if the input character code is "co", "c" is defined as an invalid area, and "o" is defined as a defined area. However, if the input character code is "k" and the subsequent input has not been performed yet, the area is determined as an undetermined area. Analysis data is created based on the processing result of n11 (n12), and this is output (n13). The output analysis data is
The processing is performed by the tallying unit 6.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the English analysis processing in the English extraction unit. Similarly to the Japanese extraction unit 4 described above, the English extraction unit 5 analyzes the character string information stored in the input buffer 3 and determines an area that is an English word (determined area) and an area that is not an English word (invalid area). , An area that cannot be determined as an English word (undetermined area) is extracted (n
21). Here, the processing is different from that of the above-mentioned Japanese extraction section 4 in that the area that matches the spelling of the English word is the defined area, the area that is not an English word is the invalid area, The point is that an area that cannot be determined as any of the areas is taken out as an undetermined area. In this example, each area is determined as shown in FIG. In the figure, △ indicates an undetermined area. Here, "date",
Four “to”, “time”, and “confirm” are extracted as the fixed regions in English. Also, since there are a plurality of English words starting with “yo” (for example,
And you)), this area is extracted as an undetermined area. Then, analysis data is created based on the processing result of n21 (n22), and this is output (n23). In addition,
The analysis data output here is also processed by the tallying unit 6.

The counting section 6 performs the following processing based on the analysis data input from the Japanese extraction section 4 and the English word extraction section 5. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the processing of the counting unit. First, in the analysis data input from the English word extraction unit 5, it is determined whether or not there are consecutive portions of two defined regions in order from the top (n31). In this example, first, two areas “date” and “to” are detected.
Here, in English, there is a rule that “English words are not continuously input without leaving a gap”, so it can be said that at least one of the two confirmed areas detected here is an invalid area. The counting unit 6 changes one of the two areas to an invalid area (n32). In this embodiment,
Change the shorter spelling area to an invalid area. Therefore, “to” is changed to an invalid area. As a result, the analysis data shown in FIG. 7 changes to the analysis data shown in FIG.
There is no place where two fixed areas continue. In this embodiment, the shorter spelling area is changed to an invalid area in n32, but the longer spelling area may be changed to an invalid area. Further, one area determined according to another condition may be changed to an invalid area.

Subsequently, the counting unit 6 performs the following processing for each of the seven areas shown in FIG. It is determined whether the area is a determined area, an invalid area, or an undetermined area (n3
3, n34). If the area is a determined area or an undetermined area, it is determined whether there is an invalid area in the analysis data by the Japanese extraction unit 4 (n35). If there is no invalid area, the area is determined to be an area in which both Japanese and English are valid (n36). For example, if the region to be determined is “date”, it is determined that both languages are valid. On the other hand, if there is an invalid area in this area, it is determined that only English is valid (n3
7). For example, if the target area is “confirm”, this area is valid only in English. Further, if the area to be processed is an invalid area, the area is determined to be an area effective only in Japanese (n38). For example, if the area to be determined is "to", this area is an area effective only in Japanese ("to" is an invalid area in English at n32). For all areas,
When the processes of n33 to n38 are completed, (n3
9), total data is created (n40). The total data created here is as shown in FIG. In this figure, ◎ indicates an area effective in both Japanese and English, 、 indicates an area effective only in Japanese, and △ indicates an area effective only in English. The tallying unit 6 outputs the tally data created in n40, and completes the process (n41).
This total data is stored in the display control unit 7 and the conversion buffer 8.
Is input to

The display control section 7 displays the character string information input to the display section 11 based on the total data input from the total section 6. FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating the processing of the display control unit. The main display window 21 and the sub display window 22 are displayed on the display unit 11 as shown in FIG. The display control unit 11 performs the following processing sequentially from the top area of the total data. That area,
It is determined whether the area is valid only for Japanese, only English is valid, or both Japanese and English are valid (n51 to n52). If the area is valid only for Japanese,
Characters belonging to Japanese are displayed on the main display window 21 (n53). If the area is valid only in English, characters belonging to English are displayed in the main display window 21 (n54).
If the area is valid in both Japanese and English, characters belonging to Japanese are displayed in the main display window 21 and characters belonging to English are displayed in the sub-display window 22 (n5
5). When the display control unit 7 executes the processing of n51 to n55 for all the areas, the processing is completed (n56). At this time, the display unit 11 has the display shown in FIG.

Here, when the conversion key is operated, the conversion unit 9 performs a kana-kanji conversion process. The conversion unit 9 performs known kana-kanji conversion for each valid Japanese area based on the tabulated data stored in the conversion buffer 8, and stores the conversion candidates in the converted buffer 10. Also, for the valid region of English, the conversion buffer 10 stores a conversion candidate in which only the first character is capitalized, a conversion candidate in which all characters are capitalized, and a conversion candidate in which all characters are all lowercase. The display control unit 7 displays the conversion candidate with the highest priority for each area on the display unit 11. FIG. 13A shows a display example. The priority of the conversion candidate is determined based on the frequency of use of the word and the like. When the operator selects, for example, “Date” (Japanese) while the display shown in FIG. 13A is made, a conversion candidate for “Date” is displayed in FIG.
Display as shown in (B). When the operator selects, for example, “Date” (English), conversion candidates for “date” are displayed as shown in FIG. As described above, since the conversion candidates are displayed for each language, the Japanese and English conversion candidates are displayed separately.
Operability when selecting conversion candidates is good. Therefore,
It is possible to prevent a conversion candidate from being selected incorrectly.

As described above, in the character string information display device of this embodiment, a character string in which Japanese and English are mixed can be obtained without performing the operation of switching the input mode. Therefore, it is possible to easily input a document in which multiple languages are mixed.

In the above embodiment, in the area where both Japanese and English are valid, the main display window 2
1. Characters belonging to Japanese are displayed in 1 and sub display window 2
Although characters belonging to English are displayed in 2, characters belonging to English may be displayed in the main display window 21 and characters belonging to Japanese may be displayed in the sub-display window 22. Alternatively, characters belonging to the language with the higher frequency of use may be displayed on the main display window 21, and characters belonging to the language with the lower frequency of use may be displayed on the sub-display window 22.

In the above embodiment, "datetot
Although the description has been made by taking as an example the case where all the character codes “imwoconfirmseyo” are input, the same processing is performed even during the input.
Referring to FIG. 14, "datetotimewoc"
The following describes a display in the middle of inputting "onfirmsyo".

When the input buffer 3 is empty, two windows, a main display window 21 and a sub-display window 22, are displayed on the display unit 9 as shown in FIG. When the operator inputs up to “dat”, the tallying unit 6 performs “da
t ”is determined to be a valid area for both Japanese and English. Therefore, “dat” is displayed in the main display window 21 and “dat” is displayed in the sub display window 22 (see FIG. 14B). When up to “date” is input, the counting unit 6 determines that “date” is a valid area for both Japanese and English, and determines that the subsequent “t” is a valid area only for Japanese (date). Is assumed to be non-English.) Therefore, "date" is displayed in the main display window 21, and "date" is displayed in the sub display window 22 (FIG. 14).
(C)).

Further, the input proceeds, and "datetoti
When "me" is input, the counting unit 6 determines that "date" and "time" are valid areas in both Japanese and English, and determines "to" as a valid area only in Japanese. Therefore, "date and chime" is displayed in the main display window 21, and "date" and "time" are displayed in the sub display window 22 (see FIG. 14D). When "w" is subsequently input, the display is as shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. Here, the reason why the input “w” is not determined to be a valid English area is that words such as “timework” exist in English. Therefore, the display control unit 7 displays “datetime” on the main display window 21 and displays “datetime” on the sub-display window 22. Note that the area “to” determined to be not in English is displayed in the sub display window 22.
Then it becomes a space.

When the input progresses to "datetotimewoco", the counting unit 6 determines that "date" and "time" are valid areas for both Japanese and English, and "to"
It is determined that “wo” is a region valid only in Japanese and “co” is a region valid only in English. Therefore, "date and chime co" is displayed in the main display window 21, and "date" and "time" are displayed in the sub display window 22 (see FIG. 14F). "Datetoti
When the input advances to "mewoconfirm", the counting unit 6 determines that "date" and "time" are valid areas for both Japanese and English, and "to", "wo", and "s".
e) is determined to be an area that is effective only in Japanese, and “confir
m ”is an area that is valid only in English. Therefore, the main display window 21 displays the message “Confirm dating and chime”
Is displayed, and “date”,
“Time” is displayed (see FIG. 14G). And "datetotimewoconfirmy"
When "o" is input, the display shown in FIG. 14H is displayed on the display unit 11 as described above.

Thus, when inputting English words,
Since the input portion is displayed on the display unit 11, it is possible to input while confirming even a long spelled English word. For example, in the above example, when “confirm” is input or when “con” is input, the display unit 11
Is displayed, the user can input data while checking whether there is any input error.

Note that the counting section 6 may be provided with a morphological analysis function, for example, to select words that are related to each other. For example, when “datetotime” is input, “date and time” are displayed in the main display window 21 because date and time are concepts of time.
image ”and the sub display window 22 displays“ date ”.
"Chime" may be displayed.

When a language is displayed in both the main display window 21 and the sub display window 22 during input, the operator may select one of the languages. In this way, the characters belonging to the language that the operator wants to input are displayed in the main display window 21.

When an area that is neither English nor Japanese is detected, a warning may be issued so that the operator can confirm whether there is any input error. For example, "timwww
A warning may be issued when the character string information “o” is input. In this way, the operator can be notified of the input error.

If English is selected during the input of the character string information, an English word starting with the input character string can be displayed as a conversion candidate. For example,
When the operator inputs “bro” and selects English here, “broad, broadside, broadc”
... may be displayed as conversion candidates, and the operator may select the conversion candidates. Further, when it is determined that the conversion candidate is valid only in English, the conversion candidate may be displayed and selected based on the input character string information. For example, when "bro" is input, the counting unit 6 determines that this area is valid only in English. Here, as described above, “broad, broadsid
e, broadcast,...] are displayed as conversion candidates, and the operator can select them. In this way, long words can be easily input.

Further, when a plurality of divisions of the area are considered, the operator may be notified to make a selection. For example, if "timera" is input,
When it is not possible to distinguish where the area is, as in "me et al." In this way, the area can be accurately divided.

If the input unit of this embodiment is provided with an input function called pinyin for inputting Chinese, a character string in which Japanese and Chinese are mixed can be output or displayed. It is also possible to output or display a character string in which Chinese and English are mixed. If the input unit 3 is a pen input system, when similar Chinese characters are detected in Japanese, Chinese, and Korean, they may be displayed in multiple languages in these languages.

[0040]

As described above, according to the first and fifth aspects of the present invention, during the input of the character string information, the character string information that has already been input is replaced with characters belonging to the first language. The part to be converted and the part to be converted to characters belonging to the second language are extracted. Then, for a portion where the two portions overlap, a character belonging to the first language and a character belonging to the second language are output or displayed. Therefore, characters in the first language and characters in the second language can be output without performing an operation for switching the input mode. Thus, the input operation of the character string information in which a plurality of languages are mixed can be easily performed.

According to the second and sixth aspects of the present invention, a part to be converted to a word belonging to the first language and a part to be converted to a word belonging to the second language are extracted from the input character string information. . Then, for the portion where the two portions overlap, both the word belonging to the first language and the word belonging to the second language are output or displayed as conversion candidates. As described above, since the word based on the first language and the word based on the second language are output as conversion candidates without performing the operation of switching the input mode, the input operation of the character string information in which a plurality of languages are mixed is performed. Can be easily performed.

According to the third and seventh aspects of the present invention, when character string information is input in Roman characters, the key arrangement is the same, so that the input of character string information in which Japanese and English are mixed is switched. It can be done without.

According to the fourth and eighth aspects of the present invention, the input character string information is displayed in parallel in the first language and the second language. Subsequent input can be performed.
