2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a kana-kanji conversion technique of a document creation device in a Japanese word processor or the like is based on a kana-kanji conversion of a hiragana character string inputted by an input means such as a keyboard with reference to a kana-kanji conversion dictionary. The document is sequentially converted into sentence candidates and displayed. If there is a desired candidate, the document is determined and a kana-kanji mixed document is created and stored in a storage device.

For example, when a lower grade child prepares a document containing kanji using a conventional Japanese word processor, the kanji is not converted in consideration of the degree of kanji of the child. Further, the conventional Japanese word processor is not configured to reconvert kanji of a document stored in the storage device into hiragana or the like according to the purpose of use. The following prior arts are known as Japanese word processors considering these problems.

For example, according to the description in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 3-228171, an educational kanji grade-specific dictionary file arranged in advance for each grade is provided, and when converting an input kana character string into a sentence mixed with kanji kana, A document creator has been proposed which converts an educational kanji learned only by a designated grade by referring to an educational kanji grade-specific dictionary file by pressing another education designation key. With this document creator, when a certain grade is designated, it is converted to educational kanji learned by the designated grade, so that it can be easily used even in lower grades and when teachers create documents for children. There is an effect that a document can be created.

According to the description of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-138557, a kanji other than educational kanji is automatically extracted from an already created document by referring to an educational kanji dictionary in which educational kanji to be learned for each grade is stored. A non-educational kanji detection and correction mechanism for Japanese word processors has been proposed, which detects such characters and replaces them with hiragana. This non-educational kanji detection and correction mechanism of the Japanese word processor can quickly and accurately correct difficult-to-education non-educational kanji from already created documents to hiragana and reconverts them to kanji documents suitable for children's grades. There is an effect that can be.

According to the description in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 5-94473, the mixture ratio of Kanji character types is obtained from the character type information of words obtained by morphological analysis from a Japanese sentence that has already been created.
Reconversion of hiragana to kanji or kanji to hiragana by comparing with the preset value based on the difficulty of kanji and the purpose of use, and adjusting the mixture ratio of kanji character types in Japanese sentences to a constant Japanese text editing methods have been proposed. This Japanese sentence editing method has the effect of adjusting the mixture ratio of the kanji character types of the already created Japanese sentence to a constant, so that it can be edited into a Japanese sentence applicable to manuals, pamphlets, etc. is there.

In the example of FIG. 9, the dictionary selection information storage unit 202
Stores the candidates in the order of use of the dictionary shown in FIG. 7, and the candidates shown in FIG. 9 are converted into a Roman dictionary, a kana dictionary, and a kanji dictionary, respectively. Reflects the relationship. The conversion result for each dictionary is stored in the document buffer 206 (S15).
0). At this time, the use order of the dictionaries previously stored in the dictionary selection information storage unit 202 is referred to, and the conversion result of each dictionary is stored in the document buffer 206 according to the set order.
Is stored.

At the time of the conversion process, the weight setting processing unit 207 uses the character string to be converted as a keyword as the weight setting dictionary 208
Is searched (S160). The inside of the weight setting dictionary 208 is stored as a table of character strings and the conversion priority of the dictionary used when converting the character strings. In the case of this example, the values shown in FIG. 10 are stored in the weight setting dictionary in advance. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing the contents of the weight setting dictionary according to the present embodiment. FIG. 11 is a diagram showing the structure of the document buffer according to this embodiment.

The weight setting processing unit 207 calculates weight information (conversion rate between dictionaries) paired with a pseudonym matching the search in the dictionaries, and stores the weight information in the document buffer 206 in association with the conversion results (FIG. 11). reference). This numerical value ranges from 0 to 100, and is set to a value obtained by normalizing the ratio of the weight of the corresponding conversion result to the total of the weights of the conversion result.

reference). The range value is an integer between 0 and 100,
A lower limit and an upper limit are stored for each conversion result.

FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing a procedure for setting a conversion priority range value according to this embodiment. In FIG. 14, first, a conversion result and weight information for each word are extracted based on the word start mark (S200). The conversion priority range value of the first conversion result is 0 (S210). Next, the weight value of the n-th conversion result among the condition values acquired in step S200 is acquired (S220).

A numerical value obtained by adding the weight value acquired in S220 to the current lower limit value is set as the upper limit of the conversion priority range value (S230). Check the end mark shown in FIG.
It is checked whether processing of all conversion results has been completed (S2
40). If there is no unprocessed conversion result, the setting ends. If there is an unprocessed conversion result, 1 is added to the counter n and the process proceeds to S260 (S250). The upper limit of the display range of the conversion result n-1 set in S230 is set to the lower limit of the conversion result n, and the process proceeds to S220 (S260).

FIG. 15 is a diagram showing a result of converting the weight information for each word stored in the document buffer into the conversion priority range information according to the present embodiment. The document processing unit 209 holds a conversion priority range that takes a value from 0 to 100 in the document buffer 206. This conversion priority range value indicates the mixing ratio of different character types when creating a document.

FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the procedure of document processing according to this embodiment. When the document is displayed, the reference value (designated mixture rate) is referred to, and when the reference value is changed by the reference value designating unit 210, the document processing unit proceeds to S200 to S26.
The conversion priority range value set in step 0 is compared with the reference value.

First, the conversion priority range information of the word i is obtained (S300). This condition numerical value includes all numerical values of a plurality of conversion results for one word. The range information of the conversion result j is obtained from the conversion priority range information obtained in S300 (S310). The upper limit value of the conversion priority range information is compared with the current reference value (S320). If the upper limit is smaller, 1 is added to the counter j, and the process returns to S310. The conversion result j is selected and displayed or printed (S33).
0). It is checked whether the word j is the last word in the document buffer 206, and if not, 1 is added to the counter i and S3
Return to 00 (S340).

FIG. 17 is a diagram showing the relationship between the reference value and the selected processing content according to this embodiment. FIG. 17 shows an example in which the processing content is selected from the weight of each word in the document buffer 206 when the reference value (designated mixture rate) is 40. A vertical line indicates a reference value, and one of the conversion results is selected for each reference value. The selected result is displayed on the display 1
07, or printed by the printing unit 106.

FIG. 18 is a diagram showing a mark designation and its document processing example (1) according to this embodiment. In FIG. 18, the reference value designation unit 210 digitizes the position of the mark 181 moving on the bar. When the mark is at the left end, the reference value (designated mixture rate) is 0, and when the mark is at the right end, the reference value is 100, which can be specified by the length from the start point.

The mark is a cursor that moves in relation to the operation of an input device such as a mouse, and the position of the display-integrated tablet is designated by a pen. Move left and right corresponding to moving left and right. The reference value increases as the mark moves to the right, and decreases as the mark moves to the left. The intuitive input of the movement of the mark becomes possible, and at the same time, the position of the mark visually represents the current reference value.

An embodiment in which different dictionaries are used will be described below. FIG. 19 is a diagram showing an example of mark designation and document processing (2) according to this embodiment. The example of FIG. 19 is a hiragana dictionary,
It is a document processing example using a katakana dictionary, a common kanji dictionary, and a technical English dictionary. In the technical English dictionary, corresponding English words are stored instead of simply converting input words into Japanese. The weight value of the technical English set in the weight setting dictionary is 0 for most words, and the conversion result rarely appears on the document, but the weight value is high for a specific technical term. It is suitable for technical documents.

FIG. 20 is a diagram showing an example of mark designation and document processing (3) according to this embodiment. The example of FIG. 20 is an example of document processing using a hiragana dictionary, a katakana dictionary, a kanji dictionary, a common name dictionary, a formal name, and a name dictionary.
