Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate erroneons input and to improve the operability, by discriminating contracted sounds and double consonants in inputted Kana(Japanese syllabary) sentence and converting them into sentences mixed with Kanji by a conversion table device. CONSTITUTION:A key signal from an input key section 1 and a control key 2 is applied to a key controlling circuit 3, a coded signal from the circuit 3 is outputted and supplied to an edition controlling circuit 4. Thus, each Kana key of contracted sounds and double consonants is generated in the code different from each Kana key of straight sound. In the circuit 4, the Kana sentence is converted into a sentence mixed with Kanji by using the Kana-Kanji conversion table of a conversion table device 8, and when the result is not the objective sentence mixed with Kanji, the circuit 4 converts the sentence into the sentece mixed with Kanji of the next candidate. The converted sentence mixed with Kanji is sequentially stored in a sentence memory device 7. When the specified sentence information is stored in the device 7, this information is read out and the formation of the sentence is performed with the operation of a printer 6.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a kana-kanji conversion device used in Japanese input devices, text editing devices, etc., which inputs kana characters according to the pronunciation of the characters and outputs kanji or kanji-kana-mashing sentences. be.

To be more specific about this kana-kanji conversion device, it is equipped with a kana-jin kaki as a character input key, and by operating this key, input is made in units of words or phrases, and this input word is supplied to the kana-kanji conversion table. The system converts the text into a corresponding sentence containing kana and kanji, stores it in a text memory, and outputs it to a printer for document creation.

By the way, when inputting characters with the above-mentioned kana person kaki, in addition to the direct sound, the kana characters also have an inflected sound such as 1 and 〃.

There are consonants, or two consonants, such as ``1yu'', ``yo'', and ``ゎ''.

Therefore, the kana human-powered keyboard is provided with a group of normal kana keys for direct sounds and a group of kana keys for the above-mentioned consonants and consonants.

Therefore, for example, in order to get the kanji ``omote'', if you accidentally operate the direct sound kana key and input ``hi'', ``yo'', or ``u'', ``yo'' is actually a sulky sound. Even if I converted the kanji for this purpose, I could not obtain the desired kanji for "table".

Normally, inputting kana characters with consonants or consonants as kana characters with direct sounds often occurs when inputting sentences, and as a result, each time this incorrect input is made, the user is forced to input from the beginning again, resulting in poor operability. , which also caused a decrease in input speed.

The present invention has been proposed to solve the above-mentioned problem, and even when inputting a word or phrase containing a consonant character or a consonant character, the target sentence cannot be converted into a sentence containing kanji. It is designed to be able to convert the text into the desired kanji-mixed text, and to improve operability, even if the user inputs consonant or consonant characters when direct phonetic input is required, it can be converted to the desired kanji-mixed text. .

Next, the apparatus of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to an embodiment of the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram schematically showing the configuration of the apparatus of the present invention, and numeral 1 indicates a part of the keyboard, and FIG. 2 shows the surface of this keyboard. In other words, it has a part IA of kana keys arranged in alphabetical order, and a part IB of kana keys of consonants and consonants. In addition to the kana human power keys, there are numeric keys on this input board.

Although it is equipped with alphabetic keys, these are not directly related to the present invention, so their explanation will be omitted.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a control key portion for controlling conversion and editing into a sentence mixed with kanji, and this is also placed on the side of the kana key portions IA and IB, as shown in FIG.

The key signals from the kana manual key part 1 and the control key part 2 are supplied to the key control circuit 3, and the key signal is sent to the key control circuit 3 or 4. 7-1
．． I, wow, ka0. , 11 j) Supplied to circuit 4. Therefore, each of the kana keys for the consonant and consonant sounds is also generated with a different code signal from each of the kana keys for the direct sound.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a display device, which displays the inputted kana characters or the converted characters mixed with kanji. Reference numeral 6 denotes a printing device, which creates a document by printing the text information stored in the text memory device 7 that stores the kanji-mixed text obtained by converting the input kana text.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a conversion table device for converting kana sentences into sentences mixed with kanji, which accepts input kana sentences as search data and outputs corresponding sentences mixed with kanji.

At this time, if there are homophones and different words, they are stored so that they are read out in order of frequency of use.

Here, we will briefly describe the operation of the configuration shown in Figure 1.
The operator inputs a kana sentence from the kana person kaki according to the sentence to be created, and operates the conversion key when one phrase or phrase is input.

Then, this inputted kana sentence is converted into a kanji-mixed sentence by the conversion table device 8 and displayed.0 If the desired kanji-mixed sentence is not the desired kanji-mixed sentence, if you operate the conversion key again, the next candidate kanji-mixed sentence will be displayed. 0 is read out and displayed. The thus converted sentences containing kanji are sequentially stored in the sentence memory device 7.

When predetermined text information is stored in the text memory device 7, the printing device 6 is operated to create a document. .

Next, the kana-kanji conversion operation, which is a characteristic configuration of the present invention, will be explained in detail with reference to FIG. FIG.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a first buffer in which a character code is sequentially introduced each time a kana sentence is input to store a kana sentence, and 11 is a second buffer that stores a kana sentence in the same manner as the first buffer 10. If there is a direct sound character code corresponding to an x-consonant or a consonant among the kana character codes inputted by The input kana sentence is stored in place of the character code.

! 2 is a character code determination circuit, which determines whether the input character code is a direct sound corresponding to a consonant in a consonant, that is, "ya", v
It is determined whether or not there are ``yu'', ``yo'', and ``tsu'', and when the corresponding character codes are detected, only the detected character codes are supplied to the rock sound/consonant character code generation circuit 13.

The above-mentioned persistent consonant/continuous consonant character code generation circuit 13 generates the corresponding consonant consonant by being supplied with the above-mentioned character code.

Consonant kana character code: ya → ya, yu → yu, yo → yo,
Generates a tsu → t code.

The output of this generation circuit 13 is supplied to the second buffer 11, and the corresponding character code of the detected direct sound is
The kana sentence of the input word or phrase is stored in the second buffer +1 by replacing it with the character code of the consonant.

14 is a switching circuit, which is a switch flop (F2) 16
When in the reset state, the information from the first buffer IO is valid and supplied to the conversion table device 8, and when in the set state, the information from the second buffer 11 is supplied to the device 8.

The conversion table device 8 converts the input kana sentence into a sentence mixed with kanji and supplies it to the output buffer 15 each time a conversion instruction signal CH generated by the operation of a conversion key arrives. At this time, if there are homophones and different words, if all of those words are read out (when there is no target sentence containing kanji),
A termination signal E is supplied to the AND gate 18. This AND gate 18 opens when the flip-flop (F, ) + 7 is in the set state, and switches the above F2+6 to the set state. The above F117 responds to the character code determination circuit 12 detecting a direct sound corresponding to a consonant or a consonant. Then the set will be operated.

The above FII7 and F216 will be reset when the next kana manual key operation is performed after the conversion instruction.Next, the operation shown in Figure 3 above will be explained in detail. Part I of Naoto's kana key of Kanajin Kaki
When you operate A and input "hiyouha", this kana character code is accessed in order from buffer 10 of 1 to buffer 2.
The data is introduced and stored in the buffer 11 of .

When being introduced into the second buffer 11, the character code determination circuit 12 detects the presence or absence of a kana character code for a direct sound corresponding to a consonant or a consonant.

In this example, when a kana character code for the direct sound "yo" is input, the determination circuit 12 detects it and supplies the kana character code for "1 yo" to the consonant/consonant generating circuit 13, and the generating circuit 13 The kana character code for “yo” is stored in the second buffer 1.
1, and replace the direct sound 1yo with the sulky sound 1yo.

Therefore, the first buffer 10 stores the literal input kana ``Hiyoha'', and the second buffer 11 stores ``Hiyoha''.
``Hyoha'' is remembered. Then, F117 is set to a set state based on the detection by the determination circuit 12, and F216
is in the reset state 0 Here, when the operator operates the conversion key, F216 goes into the reset state and the switching circuit 14 validates the output from the first buffer 10.
The kana character code stored in the conversion table device 8
If there is a corresponding sentence mixed with kanji, it is taken out to the output buffer 15, and the retrieved sentence mixed with kanji is displayed on a display device. Here, if it is not the desired sentence with kanji mixed in, operate the conversion key again and output the corresponding 9 sentences in kanji. The cost is ``Also 1 jump'', 1 mouth end is ``, etc., but the target table does not output the word ``0.Continue operating the conversion key to read out all homophones in order of frequency. Then, the end signal E is output to the AND gate 18.

At this time, since F117 is in the set state, the AND gate 18 is opened and F216 is set in the set state. Therefore, the switching circuit 14 switches to enable the output of the second buffer 11, and this time the kana character code stored in the second buffer 11 is used as the search data of the conversion table device 8. Then, a kanji-mixed sentence with the pronunciation of ``hiyouha'' is output.0 Only after this conversion table device 8 searches the desired kanji-mixed sentence of ``table wa'' is output and displayed.

Assuming that the desired kanji is the desired kanji, the operator operates to input the kana of the next sentence. At this time, F117 and F2+
6 is reset 05 The above operations are input in sequence according to the input text information, and the text is converted into a predetermined kanji-mashing sentence.

Note that in this example, a direct sound corresponding to a consonant or consonant character is detected in the input kana character of a direct consonant, and it is replaced with the corresponding kana character of a consonant consonant or consonant, but this operation is the opposite. In other words, if the input kana characters contain sulky or consonant characters, it is detected and replaced with the direct sound kana character that corresponds to the sultic or consonant character, and this is also converted using the same operation as above. It is possible to quickly input the search data to the table device 8 and also have the function of replacing both of them.

Also, in the search in the conversion table device 8, in the above embodiment, the entire conversion table device 8 is searched for each kana character including a consonant or consonant character held in the second buffer 11. Searching takes a long time, so for words that contain a sulcus or consonant, the characters immediately before the sulphon or consonant are limited to some extent, i.e., ``ki''.
, "gi", "shi", "ji", "chi", "ni", "hi",
They are ``bi'', ``bi'', ``mi'', ``su'', etc.

Therefore, by determining that words containing the above-mentioned characters in the conversion table are likely to contain consonants and consonants at the time of search, and searching for those words, the search time can be shortened and faster processing can be achieved. .

As described above, in the present invention, when inputting a word or phrase containing a consonant character or a consonant character, it may be incorrectly input as a direct sound, or when inputting a word or phrase containing only a direct sound, it may be input as a consonant character or a consonant character. Even if you make a mistake in inputting a consonant, you can easily convert it to the correct kanji-mixed sentence to improve the accuracy and speed up the input process.
