Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce input operation and to make the operation efficient providing a sex deciding means and a sex editing means which edits sex decided by the sex deciding means into individual information in specific format. SOLUTION: The contents of individual information from an operator are inputted from a keyboard 7. Once the input is done, it is decided whether the data contents are a name or not. When the name is inputted, the sex of the inputted name is retrieved from a sex decision dictionary 40 stored in an external storage device 4. For example, when 'Akiko Aihara' is inputted as a name, 'Aihara' as a surname is retrieved. Further, the remaining part, i.e., 'Akiko' is retrieved from the sex decision dictionary 40 and a male or female is selected. Then the decided sex is automatically set in data in specific format and displayed on a CRT 6. Consequently, the device can be obtained which can reduce operator's input operation and make the operation efficient.

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

FIG. 2 shows an overall system configuration of the present apparatus.

1 is a CP for performing overall control of the system.
U. Reference numeral 2 denotes a ROM that stores a control program executed by the CPU 1. In this example, in this ROM2,
A control program 20 according to the present invention as shown in FIG. 1 is stored.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a RAM for storing various data and various programs for executing arithmetic processing and the like.
Reference numeral 4 denotes an external storage device for storing personal information data. In this example, a gender determination dictionary 40 as shown in FIG. 3 is stored. Reference numeral 5 denotes a printer. Reference numeral 6 denotes a CRT (display device) as display means. 7 is a keyboard,

In this example, the control program 20
Although stored in the ROM 2, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be stored separately in a storage medium such as a floppy disk.

FIG. 3 shows an example of a gender determination dictionary 40 for performing gender determination.

The column of "reading" indicates the reading of the first name or the last name. The column of “notation” indicates a kanji notation corresponding to the first or last name of “yomi”. The column of “part of speech” indicates a first name or a last name. The column of “sex” indicates a man or a woman only when “part of speech” is a name. In addition, No. (1) to No. (1)
6) is a number given for convenience of explanation.

FIGS. 4 and 5 show examples of dialog boxes for creating personal information.

FIG. 4 shows an example of input data of personal information displayed on the screen of the CRT 6. Of this data, data such as name, kana, joint name, address, office, post, TEL, and FAX displayed in the left area 50 are input from the keyboard 7. In the present invention, the control program 20 shown in FIG. 1 is executed by displaying the name and the kana. Data such as OK and Cancel displayed in the right area 51 and index data displayed in the lower area 52 are designated using the mouse 7a.

FIG. 5 shows another example of the input data of the personal information displayed on the screen of the CRT 6. In the gender column 53 of this data, the gender results (male, female) determined by executing the control program 20 of FIG. 1 based on the input data (name, etc.) of FIG. 4 are automatically displayed. Notation.

Next, the gender editing process according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
A description will be given based on the flowchart of FIG. The gender editing process in FIG. 1 shows an example of the control program 20.
It is executed by the CPU 1.

In step S1, the process waits for input data of personal information from the operator. As the input data, the contents of the personal information as shown in FIG.

In step S2, when the input is made, it is determined whether or not the data content is a name. If the input is a name, the process proceeds to step S3.

In step S3, using the gender determination dictionary 40 shown in FIG. 3, the last name of the input name is searched. For example, when "Akiko Aihara" is input as the name, the search is performed for Aihara, which is the last name.

In step S4, it is determined whether the surname has been extracted. If the surname can be extracted, the process proceeds to step S5. In this example, Aihara is extracted.

In step S5, the remaining name part and Akiko are searched using the gender determination dictionary 40.

If the surname cannot be extracted in step S4, the process proceeds to step S6. The case where the last name could not be extracted corresponds to the case where the last name not registered in the gender determination dictionary 40 or only the first name is input.

In step S6, using the gender determination dictionary 40, one by one from the last character of the input character string
Search character by character.

In step S7, it is determined whether or not the corresponding name has been extracted as a result of the search in step S5 or step S6. If the corresponding name, that is, Akiko can be extracted, the process proceeds to step S8. If the corresponding name cannot be extracted, the process directly returns to the first input waiting state.

Then, in step S8, the gender of the male and female is selected using the gender determination dictionary 40. In the case of a man, the process proceeds to step S9, and in the case of a woman, the process proceeds to step S10.
If the name is Akiko, select the gender of the woman and proceed to the next.

In step S9, since the selected gender is male, "male" is set in the gender column 53 of FIG. Thereafter, the process returns to the first wait for input.

In step S10, since the selected gender is female, "sex" is set in the gender column 53 of FIG.
In the case of Akiko, a woman is indicated in the gender column 53. Thereafter, the process returns to the first wait for input.

On the other hand, if the input data is not a name in step S2, the process proceeds to step S11.

In step S11, it is determined whether the input has been completed. If the input has not been completed, the process proceeds to step S12, and if the input has been completed, the process proceeds to step S13.

In step S12, since items other than the name have yet to be input, processing is performed for each item. As a process for each item, for example, when the gender set in the gender column 53 of FIG. 5 is not the will of the operator, there is a process for changing the set gender.

In step S13, since the input has been completed, the input personal information is stored in the external storage device 4, and
The gender editing process ends. Here, data relating to the personal information shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 is stored.

However, in some cases, such as (6) “Akira” or (14) “Hiromi” in the gender determination dictionary 40 shown in FIG. In such a case, the gender stored in the gender determination dictionary 40 is once selected, but if it is different from the actual person, the gender shown in FIG. 5 may be selected again.

In steps S3 and S4,
The family name was searched and extracted. However, in the case of gender discrimination, the first name may be searched and extracted instead of the family name at this stage.

The present invention may be applied to a system constituted by a plurality of devices or to an apparatus constituted by a single device. Needless to say, the present invention can be applied to a case where the present invention is achieved by supplying a program to a system or an apparatus. In this case, by reading a storage medium storing a program represented by software for achieving the present invention into the system or the apparatus, the system or the apparatus can enjoy the effects of the present invention.

[0043]

As described above, according to the present invention, when a name, which is one item in personal information, is entered, the gender is immediately determined, and the determined gender is converted to a predetermined format. Data is automatically set and displayed, so input operations by the operator can be reduced.
This makes it possible to obtain a device capable of improving work efficiency.
