Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To automatically register a word (coinage) generated by executing editing operations of deletion and insertion in a dictionary. SOLUTION: When a read character string being a conversion object is inputted through an input part 21, the inputted read character string is held in an input buffer 12b and the inputted read character string is converted by referring to a standard dictionary 24 and a learning dictionary 25. The converted result is displayed through an output part 27. When a word displayed as the converted result is not a word which a user intends, the user edits the word and generates a new word. When the editing operation is executed, the read character string held in the input buffer 12b is held in a registration read buffer 12d as registration read character string data and the word after edition is set to be a new word. It is registered in the learning dictionary 25 in accordance with the read character string held in the registration read buffer 12d.

In this example, information on standard words such as "special" and "special event" is registered in advance for reading such as "special".

In the standard dictionary 24, as information for converting a single kanji, a reading such as "Hiraku" is used.
Information of single kanji (kanji without accompanying words) such as “open”, “greeting”, etc. is registered in advance.

FIG. 4 shows the structure of the learning dictionary 25. The learning dictionary 25 stores information necessary for kana-kanji conversion processing, such as reading of words created by a user's editing operation and corresponding headings, as appropriate. In this example, readings like "
Word information such as "Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open" is registered.

Next, before explaining the operation of this embodiment,
The dictionary registration operation realized by the present apparatus will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6 using a specific example. (Specific Example 1) FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a specific example 1 for explaining dictionary registration in the embodiment. Here, words such as “Japanese” and “Japanese” are read in the learning dictionary 2.
It is assumed that the registration is made in the No. 5.

(1) First, a reading character string "Tokakai" is input. The input character string "tokai" is displayed at the cursor position on the screen, and is held in the input buffer 12b as input data.

(2) By pressing the "Kana-Kanji conversion" key, Kana-Kanji conversion for the reading character string "Tokakai" is instructed. As a result, the standard dictionary 24 is referred to, and words such as “special” and “special meeting” are displayed as conversion results.

(3) By operating the "confirm" key, a word such as "special" is determined from "special" and "special meeting" obtained as a result of the conversion. The determined word “Tokukan” is displayed as a conversion result on the screen in place of the read character string “Tokai”, and is held in the display buffer 12c.

(4) By operating the "delete" key or the "BS" key, "pleasant" in "special" is deleted. As a result of the deletion of “pleasure”, the content of the input buffer 12b becomes “to” and the content of the display buffer 12c becomes “special”. At this time, with the input of the “Delete” key or the “BS” key as a trigger, the read character string “Tokai” stored in the input buffer 12b is held in the registered read buffer 12d as registered read data.

Here, from the back of the registered reading data "Tokai", the standard dictionary 24 is used to search for readings that match the deleted "pleasure". As a result, the reading of "pleasant" in "special comfort" is "kai" of registered reading data "tokai"
Is identified, and the remaining reading of "special" is "to"
Is specified.

If it is not possible to specify the reading of "pleasant", the remaining characters "special" are read in the standard dictionary 24 in the same manner as described above.
Is used to identify the reading of "special" as "to", and then the reading of "pleasant" is determined. If the reading cannot be identified for both characters, processing such as clearing the registered reading data and prompting the user to perform the operation again is performed.

(5) Next, in order to insert “open” after the currently remaining “feature”, a reading character string such as “open” is input. As a result, the content of the input buffer 12b becomes "open".

(6) By pressing the "Single Kanji conversion" key,
Instructs single kanji conversion for the reading character string "hiraku".
As a result, the standard dictionary 24 (here, a single kanji dictionary is included) is referred to, and words such as “open”, “greeting”,... Are displayed as conversion results.

(7) By operating the "confirm" key, a word such as "open" is determined from "open", "greeting", etc. obtained as a result of the conversion. The determined word “open” is displayed as a conversion result on the screen instead of the read character string “hiraku”, and is held in the display buffer 12c. As a result, the word “JP” can be obtained together with the previously determined “Toku”.

Here, with respect to the registered reading data "TOKAI" stored in the registration reading buffer 12d, a reading that matches "OPEN" is searched using the standard dictionary 24 after the reading of "TO" specified last time. Is done. As a result, the reading of “open” is specified as the “read” of the registered reading data “read”.

In this way, when each reading of the word "JP" is associated with the registered reading data "TOKAI", the word "JP" is registered in the learning dictionary 25 as a reading "TOKAI". Is done. As a result, the next time a reading character string such as “Tokai” is input, “Japanese Patent Laid-Open” is output as a conversion result using the learning dictionary 25.

(Specific Example 2) FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a specific example 2 for explaining dictionary registration in the embodiment. Similar to the specific example 1, it is assumed that a word such as “Japanese” is registered in the learning dictionary 25 with the reading “Tokakai”.
In this case, in the specific example 1, the intended word is created while correcting a part of the word output as the conversion result. In this case, the word output as the conversion result is returned to the reading state. The case in which a new word is created afterwards will be described.

(1) First, a reading character string "Tokakai" is input. The input character string "tokai" is displayed at the cursor position on the screen, and is held in the input buffer 12b as input data.

(2) By pressing the "Kana-Kanji conversion" key, Kana-Kanji conversion for the reading character string "Tokakai" is instructed. As a result, the standard dictionary 24 is referred to, and words such as “special” and “special meeting” are displayed as conversion results.

(3) By pressing the "cancel" key,
The word output as the conversion result is returned to the reading state. At this time, with the input of the “cancel” key as a trigger, the read character string “tokai” stored in the input buffer 12b is held in the registered read buffer 12d as registered read data.

(4) In order to make the intended word “JP”, for example, after deleting “OK” in “OK”, input “KU”, etc. Enter the reading character string. The input character string "Toku" is displayed at the cursor position on the screen, and is held in the input buffer 12b as input data.

(5) By pressing the "Kana-Kanji conversion" key, Kana-Kanji conversion for the reading character string "Toku" is instructed. As a result, the standard dictionary 24 is referred to,
Words such as "get" are displayed as the conversion result.

(6) By operating the "next candidate" key, a word such as "Toku" is selected for the read character string "Toku". (7) The word "*" is determined by operating the "confirm" key. The determined word “*” is displayed as a conversion result on the screen instead of the read character string “*”, and is held in the display buffer 12c.

Here, from the back of the registered reading data “Tokai”, a reading that matches the determined “Toku” is searched using the standard dictionary 24. As a result, it is specified that the reading of “*” is the “*” of the registered reading data “*”.

If the reading of "*" cannot be specified, the system waits for the next "open", and specifies the reading of "open" as "kai" using the standard dictionary 24 in the same manner as described above. Then, the reading of the above “special” is determined. If the reading cannot be identified for both characters, processing such as clearing the registered reading data and prompting the user to perform the operation again is performed.

(8) Next, a reading character string such as "kai" is input. As a result, the content of the input buffer 12b becomes "Special". (9) Pressing the “Kana-Kanji conversion” key instructs Kana-Kanji conversion of the reading character string “Kai”. As a result, the standard dictionary 24 is referred to, and words such as “times”, “me”,... Are displayed as conversion results.

(10) By operating the "next candidate" key, a word such as "open" is selected for the read character string "kai". (11) The word “open” is determined by operating the “confirm” key. The determined word "open" is displayed on the screen instead of the read character string "kai" as a conversion result, and is held in the display buffer 12c.

Here, with respect to the registered reading data "TOKAI" stored in the registration reading buffer 12d, a reading that matches "OPEN" is searched using the standard dictionary 24 after the reading of "Totto" specified last time. Is done. As a result, the reading of “open” is specified as the “read” of the registered reading data “read”.

In this way, when each reading of the word "JP" is associated with the registered reading data "TOKAI", the word "JP" is registered in the learning dictionary 25 as a reading "TOKAI". Is done. As a result, the next time a reading character string such as “Tokai” is input, “Japanese Patent Laid-Open” is output as a conversion result using the learning dictionary 25.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. FIG.
4 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing from character input to output in the embodiment. The input unit 21 inputs data such as characters and functions from the input device 13 (step A11). The input data is passed to the processing unit corresponding to each key in the control unit 22 and processed (steps A12 to A16), and the processing result is displayed on the display device 14 through the output unit 27 (step A17).

If the input key is a character key (Yes in step A12), the control unit 22 passes the input character to the learning data operation unit 26 and stores it in the input buffer 12b (step A16). It is displayed on the screen through the unit 27 (step A17).

If the key is a "kana-kanji conversion" key or a "single kanji conversion" key (Ye in step A13)
s) The control unit 22 performs the kana-kanji conversion process (single kanji conversion process) by the conversion unit 23 (step A15), passes the conversion result (determined word) to the learning data operation unit 26, and sends it to the display buffer 12c. After holding (Step A1
6), display through the output unit 27 (step A1)
7).

If the key is an edit key such as a "delete" key, a "BS" key, a "cancel" key, or a "confirm" key (Yes in step A14), the control unit 22 sends the learning data operation unit 26 (Step A16), and outputs the processing result to the output unit 2.
7 is displayed (step A17).

Next, referring to FIG.
Will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a flow of a data accumulation process in the embodiment. In the case of a "character" key (Ye in step B11)
s) The control unit 22 sequentially stores the input characters in the input buffer 12b through the learning data operation unit 26 (Step B12).

In the case of the "kana-kanji conversion" key or the "single kanji conversion" key (Yes in step B13), the control unit 2
2 passes the conversion result (determined word) obtained by the conversion unit 23 to the learning data operation unit 26, and stores it in the display buffer 12c (step B14).

Here, when the "delete" key is input as an edit key (Yes in step B15), the control unit 22 sends the display buffer 12 through the learning data operation unit 26.
After deleting the character at the cursor position from c (step B1)
6) The read character string currently held in the input buffer 12b is held as registered read data in the registered read buffer 12d (step B17). That is, FIG.
In the first specific example, when "pleasure" is deleted from "special" using the "delete" key, the read character string "tokai" currently held in the input buffer 12b is used as the registered read data as the registered read buffer 12d To hold.

Thereafter, the control unit 22 sets the learning data operation unit 2
6, the character at the cursor position is deleted from the input buffer 12b (step B18). Further, the control unit 22 specifies the reading of the deleted character by using the standard dictionary 24, thereby specifying the reading of the remaining characters (step B1).
9). That is, in the specific example 1, when "pleasure" is deleted from "special" using the "delete" key, the reading of the deleted character "pleasure" is specified as "kai" of "tokai". In this way, the remaining characters “*” are identified as “*” in “*”.

When the "BS" key is input as the edit key (Yes in step B20), the control unit 22 deletes the character before the cursor position from the display buffer 12c through the learning data operation unit 26 (step B21). Then, the reading character string currently held in the input buffer 12b is held as registered reading data in the registered reading buffer 12d (step B22). That is, in the specific example 1 of FIG. 5 described above, when “pleasure” is deleted from “special” using the “BS” key, the read character string “tokai” currently stored in the input buffer 12b is registered and read. The data is stored in the registration reading buffer 12d as data.

Thereafter, the control unit 22 sends the learning data operation unit 2
6, the character before the cursor position is deleted from the input buffer 12b (step B23). The control unit 22
Specifies the reading of the remaining character by specifying the reading of the deleted character using the standard dictionary 24 (step B2).
4). That is, in the above specific example 1, when “pleasure” is deleted from “extraordinary” using the “BS” key, the reading of the deleted character “pleasure” is specified as “kai” of “tokai”. In this way, the remaining characters “*” are identified as “*” in “*”.

When the "cancel" key is input as an edit key (Yes in step B25), the control unit 22 returns the currently displayed word as a conversion result to the reading state (step B26), and then executes the learning data operation. The read character string currently held in the input buffer 12b is held as registered read data in the registered read buffer 12d through the unit 26 (step B27). That is, in the specific example 2 of FIG. 6 described above, when the conversion result is returned to “precious” using the “cancel” key, the reading character string “precious” currently held in the input buffer 12b is registered and read. The data is stored in the registration reading buffer 12d as data.

When the "confirm" key is input as an edit key (Yes in step B28), the control unit 22 stores the confirmed word in the display buffer 12c through the learning data operation unit 26 (step B29). ). At this time, the control unit 22 determines whether or not all the readings of the registered reading data held in the registered reading buffer 12d correspond to the words (edited words) held in the display buffer 12c (step). B30).

As a result, if all the readings have been taken into account (Yes in step B30), the control unit 22 sends the word (edited word) held in the display buffer 12c through the learning data operation unit 26. The registration target is registered in the learning dictionary 25 by using the read character string held in the registered reading buffer 12d (step B31). That is, in the specific example 1 or the specific example 2 described above, when the word “JP” is finally created in the display buffer 12c by the editing operation, the “JP” and “open” of the “JP” are read. Is "to" of "tokai" held in the registration reading buffer 12d.
When it is confirmed that the word is "kai", the word information such as the reading "tokai" and the heading "JP" is added to the learning dictionary 2.
Register to 5.

As described above, a word (a coined word) created by the editing operation can be registered, and can be registered in the learning dictionary 25 by using the initially input reading character string. Therefore, an arbitrary word can be registered in a dictionary without re-inputting a reading character string. Thereafter, by inputting the same reading character string, an intended word can be obtained as a conversion result using the learning dictionary 25. Will be able to

In the above embodiment, the standard dictionary 24 and the learning dictionary 25 are configured as separate dictionaries, and the dictionary of words is registered in the learning dictionary 25. However, the standard dictionary 24 and the learning dictionary 25 are not necessarily required. Need not be separated,
For example, the standard dictionary 24 and the learning dictionary 25 may be configured as one dictionary, and the dictionary of words may be registered in the dictionary.

In the above embodiment, a dictionary used for kana-kanji conversion has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in a machine translation system, an input language is changed to another language. The same method as described above can be applied to a dictionary used for conversion.

Further, the method described in the above-described embodiment can be executed by a computer as a program such as a magnetic disk (floppy disk, hard disk, etc.), an optical disk (CD-ROM,
It is also possible to write the data on a recording medium such as a DVD or a semiconductor memory and apply it to various devices, or to transmit it via a communication medium and apply it to various devices.
