Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an address notation conversion method which can prevent the deterioration in conversion accuracy that is caused by the input method by converting automatically the Chinese numeric character data into the Arabic numeral notation and also to provide an address notation check method which checks whether the address notation is correct or not. SOLUTION: The address data inputted via a keyboard are fetched in the form of a Chinese numeric character notation (201). The Arabic numeral conversion is successively processed from the final character through the head character of the input data. Under such conditions, the house number information serves as a keyword for retrieval (202). When the keyword is coincident with the house number information, the Chinese numeric characters preceding the house number information are recognized and extracted as a character string to be converted (203). Then the notation conversion processing is carried out (204). The notation check is carried out according to a fact whether the numeric characters preceding the municipality information have high possibility of errors.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for converting digit notation in digitized Japanese document data, and more particularly to a method for converting address notation in address and address notation into arithmetic numeric data.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, OA devices such as word processors (word processors) have become widespread, and various documents have been electronically stored and managed. One of them is the digitization of family register documents. In digitizing a family register document or the like, as a method of unifying the address information in the address column in the document into an arithmetic numeral, first, a manual method can be considered. This is the most commonly used method in the past, in which a data entry person converts a Chinese numeral in a family register document into an arithmetic numeral in his head and inputs it. Another method is to store the correspondence between Kanji numbers and arithmetic numbers in a table, and convert those entered in one character format to the other character format collectively by referring to this table. Are known. For example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 59-17231, an arithmetic numeral is input, and a number (one ... nine), a digit (ten, hundred, thousand), a digit (ten, hundred, trillion, ...) are input. There is disclosed a conversion method for converting the output to a corresponding Chinese numeral including the character of the character.

[0003]

However, the above-mentioned method has the following problems. First, the former method of inputting data by converting the data into an algebraic number in advance is liable to cause misreading or an input error by the data inputter, and also requires the input data to be calculated with the kanji numerals (original data). There is a problem that it takes a long time to check the matching of the numbers for use (data after conversion). In addition, the latter method of converting kanji numbers into math numbers collectively using a table representing the correspondence between kanji numbers and arithmetic numbers is not only a lot number information (chome, number, number) but also a proper noun ( For example, there is a problem that the Chinese numerals included in the street name) are simultaneously converted into arithmetic numerals. For example,
“Rokugo” in “Minami-Rokugo 3-chome, 21-chome, Ota-ku” is a street name, so it must be converted like “3-21, Minami-rokugo, Ota-ku” without conversion. In that case, it will be incorrectly converted as "3-21, Minami 6go, Ota-ku". The present invention solves the above problems, extracts a conversion target portion from a sentence and matches it with unit information, thereby accurately converting Kanji numeric data including a zero symbol into an arithmetic numeric notation, and using an input method. It is an object of the present invention to provide an address notation conversion method capable of preventing a decrease in conversion accuracy caused by the above, and an address notation check method for checking whether or not address notation is correctly performed.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides kanji numeral data and lot number information (eg, chome,
No., No.), to extract the kanji character string to be converted, and to match the kanji data and unit information to automatically convert the kanji character string into an arithmetic digit. And More specifically,
The address notation conversion method according to the present invention includes: a first step of sequentially checking, from the last character of the input data to the first character in the direction of the first character, matching with the lot number information for extracting the converted character string; A second step of extracting the Chinese numeral data before the lot number information when the result of the step check matches the lot number information; and a second step of converting the Chinese numeral data extracted in the second step into arithmetic numeric data. And the second step includes determining whether the Chinese numeral data preceding the lot number information is unit information indicating a place or numeric information including a zero sign. Calculating a corresponding arithmetic numeral digit position, and in the case of numeric information, converting the digit into the corresponding arithmetic numeral and advancing the digit position one digit higher until a character other than a kanji numeral appears; Emotion Is, at least, "Ding", "No."
The unit information includes at least one of “number”, “− (hyphen)”, “building”, and “F”, and the unit information includes at least “ten”,
It is characterized by including any of “pickup”, “one hundred”, “thousand”, “million”, and “billion”.

The address notation checking method of the present invention
A first step of sequentially checking whether there is an algebraic numeral before the municipal information from the last character of the address data to the first character in the first character direction, and a result of the check in the first step A second step of checking whether there is any further Chinese numeral when there is no arithmetic numeral before the municipal information, and as a result of the check in the second step, a Chinese character is added before the municipal information. A third step of checking the coincidence with the place name information when there is a number, and a case where it is determined in the first step that there is an algebraic number before the municipal information, and in the third step, the place name If it is determined that the information does not match the information, the information indicating that the possibility of an error in the address notation is large is output, and the municipal information is “city”,
It is characterized by including any of "ward", "town", "village", "eye", and "cho".

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS According to the present invention, when performing a digitized conversion of an address in kanji numerals, the kanji numeric data is input as it is, and a character string to be converted is automatically extracted. Next, matching is performed with unit information using the extracted part as data to be converted,
An arithmetic digitization is performed based on the result. With this method, it is possible to prevent a decrease in conversion accuracy due to the input method and the representation of the kanji numeric data.

An embodiment of the address notation conversion method according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a configuration example for implementing an embodiment of the address notation conversion method of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes an input control unit for inputting an address written in Chinese numerals, and comprises a keyboard and the like. Reference numeral 2 denotes a reference digitization processing unit, which converts input data output from the input control unit 1 from Kanji numeric data to arithmetic numeric data. Reference numeral 3 denotes a conversion check unit, which has a function of checking whether the digitization is performed correctly. Reference numeral 4 denotes a check list to be output, which outputs input data (for example, Gobancho, Hachioji) containing proper Chinese characters in proper nouns such as street names.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.
FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a flow of the operation of the arithmetic digitization processing unit 2 in FIG. First, address data input from the input control unit 1 such as a keyboard is fetched in Chinese numeral notation (step 201). The arithmetic digitization process is performed sequentially from the last character of the input data toward the first character. The search keyword at this time is the lot number information (step 202). As the lot number information, for example, as shown in FIG. 4 (a), Ding, No., No.,-(used for displaying a hyphen, for example, "2-46-10"), building, F (floor ) (For example, used in the display of “2 of 46 10”),. When it matches with the lot number information, the kanji numeral preceding the lot number information is recognized and extracted as a character string to be converted (step 203), and a notation conversion process is executed (step 204). As Kanji numbers,
For example, as shown in FIG.
Pickup, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, ten thousand ", and numerical information of" one, two, three,
4, 5, 6, 6, 7, 8, 9, 1, 2, and 3 "and symbol information such as" O, 0 ".

The flow example of FIG. 6 will be described in detail by taking as an example a case where the Chinese numeral before the lot number information extracted in step 203 of FIG. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a state of the work area in the middle of the flow of FIG. First, in step 601, the work areas are all initialized to 0 (see FIG. 7A). In the next step 602, initialization for conversion (i = 1) is performed. In step 603, since "Ni" is a Chinese numeral, the process proceeds to step 604,
Here again, the process proceeds to step 605 because the information is not unit information.
Since "2" is numerical information, the process proceeds to step 607, where it is converted into an arithmetic numeral "2" and input to the work area (1) (see FIG. 7B). Next, i is updated to 2 and the process returns to step 603.

Since the next "pickup" is unit information (i = 2), the process proceeds to step 606, where the work area (2) is set to 1, and
The process returns to step 603 again (see FIG. 7C). The next “5” is a Chinese numeral (step 603: N) and is not unit information but numerical information (step 604: N, step 605: Y).
And input it to the work area (2) (change from 1 to 1 in the previous step 606 to 5; see FIG. 7D). In step 608, i is set to 3, and the process returns to step 603.

The next "thousand" is a Chinese numeral (step 603:
N) and the unit information (step 604: Y, i = 4), the work area (4) is set to 1 in step 606 (see FIG. 7E). At this time, the work area (3) holds the value 0 that has been initialized in step 601. The next “Ni” is a Chinese numeral (step 6
03: N), not unit information (step 604: N),
Since it is numerical information (step 605: Y), it is converted to an arithmetic numeral "2" in step 607 and the work area (4)
(To what was set to 1 in the previous step 606 to 2)
Change to FIG. 7 (f)). As a result of the above, the kanji numeral "25,000 Goji" in front of the lot number information is converted into an arithmetic numeral "2052". When it is determined in step 603 that the character is a character other than Chinese numerals, the notation conversion process ends.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the flow of the operation of the conversion check unit 3 of FIG. First, the input data converted by the arithmetic digitization processing unit is read (step 301).
The check is performed from the rear of the input data toward the head. Next, the municipal information is searched to check whether there is an algebraic numeral before the municipal information (step 30).
2). As shown in FIG. 5A, the city, town, and village information is
It is made up of wards, towns, villages, eyes, and Ding. As a result of the check in step 302, if there is an arithmetic numeral, an output flag is set (step 306). If there is no arithmetic numeral, it is checked whether there is any Chinese numeral before the municipal information (step 3).
03) If there is no preceding Chinese numeral, the search processing of the next municipal information is continued. If there is a Chinese character before, matching is performed with the place name information (step 304), and if the place number information is matched, the search processing of the next municipal information is continued. If they do not match the place name information, an output flag is set (step 30).
5). The place name information is, as shown in FIG. 5B, a place name or a character often used to represent a place name, for example, a town,
It consists of street address, land split, Chiba, Kyushu, Hachioji, etc. The above processing is sequentially performed from the last character of the input data to the first character in the direction of the first character, and when the first character is reached, the conversion check processing is terminated (step 30).
7: Y).

Step 30 after the end of the conversion check process
Only the data for which the output flag has been set in steps 5 and 306 is printed on the confirmation list (step 308). Step 305
The flag is set when the kanji in front of the numeric city / town / village information converted by the arithmetic digitization processing unit 2 does not match the place name information. This is the case where there is an arithmetic numeral before the municipal information, and in both cases it is considered that the possibility of conversion error is large.

In the above description, the case where the address notation check method in FIG. 3 is converted from the kanji numeral notation to the arithmetic numeral notation by the address notation conversion method in FIG. 2 is checked as an example. However, the present method can be used not only for the converted address but also for checking the address notation originally written in arithmetic numerals.

As described above, according to this embodiment, FIG.
Address data "Tokyo, Chiyoda-ku, Niigata-cho, No. 2" as shown in (a) as well as address data "Tokyo using symbol information (O) instead of zero as shown in FIG. Even in the case of “25,000-2, Hirakawa-cho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo”, correct address data using arithmetic numerals as shown in FIG. 3C can be converted to “2052, Hirakawa-cho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo”. Further, according to the present embodiment, since the address data is input as it is in the original Chinese character notation, the accuracy of the matching check between the original text and the input data at the time of input is improved, and the time required for the checking can be shortened. In this embodiment, the input method of the address data is to input the Chinese numeral data as it is in the original text using a keyboard or the like.
Needless to say, it is also possible to read in such as.

[0016]

As described above, according to the address notation conversion method of the present invention, if the input is performed as in the original text, the arithmetic digitization conversion is automatically performed. Has the effect of reducing. In addition, since only the character string to be converted is extracted and processed, the efficiency of the arithmetic digitization conversion work is improved, and the effect of reducing the burden on the data input person is great. Further, according to the address notation checking method of the present invention, it is possible to automatically detect a numerical notation having a high possibility of error, so that there is an effect that the efficiency of the address notation checking work is greatly improved.
