Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate the reinput of a character train, by supplying and storing a Japanese sentence in the form of KANA letters to a storing part and converting the character train converted into a Chinese character train, etc. into another type of character train by means of a character type conversion key. CONSTITUTION:A Japanese sentence is supplied from a keyboard device 1 in the form of KANA letters and then registered to an input character buffer register 2. The Japanese sentence is then converted at a KANA-Chinese character converting part 3 with a word dictionary 7 and a largest length coincidence method, for instance, and stored in an output sentence register 8 via an output editing device 4 and in the form of a sentence including Chinese characters and KANA letters. At the same time, the Japanese sentence is displayed 5 and printed out 6. Then this character train is converted into another type of character train, e.g., a Roman character train. In this case, a character type conversion key of the keyboard 1 is pushed. Thus an input character train is taken out of the register 2 and stored temporarily in a reconverting part 9. This character train is converted character by character in response to a character type correspondence table 10 and then stored in the register 8 via the device 4 to be displayed 5 and printed out 6. In such a way, the change of the character type can be facilitated.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a kana-kanji conversion processing device used for Japanese word conversion processing, etc., and in particular, it is capable of re-converting once-converted kanji, etc. into a character type different from the input string without re-inputting them. This invention relates to a kana-kanji conversion processing device that enables the conversion of kana to kanji.

When creating a document using a Japanese word processor, etc.
Converting the input string to a character type other than kanji (if the input text is ``hiragana'', [katakana J ``p-maji'', etc.), or converting the input string once converted to kanji. It may be necessary to reconvert the input character string into a character type different from the input character string. The former, that is, converting an input string to a character type other than Kanji, has been done for a long time, but the latter, that is, converting an input string once converted to Kanji to a character type other than Kanji, has not been done. , which is not possible with conventional devices, and requires the operator to re-enter the input character string.

However, the above-mentioned cases occur quite frequently, and it is not desirable to have the operator re-enter the information each time, as this will significantly increase the burden on the operator.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to solve the above-mentioned problems in conventional kana-kanji conversion processing devices, and to easily convert input character strings into kanji once converted into kanji. An object of the present invention is to provide a kana-kanji conversion processing system that enables reconversion of ``characters'' into character types other than kanji.

The above object of the present invention is to provide means for inputting Japanese sentences as kana sentences, means for temporarily storing character strings input by the input means, word dictionary storage means, and the word dictionary storage means. A character string converted into kanji etc. is inputted into the kana-kanji conversion processing device which has a kana-kanji conversion section for converting the contents of the poetry storage means into a sentence mixed with kanji and a means needle for displaying the conversion result by the kana-kanji conversion section. This is achieved by a kana-kanji conversion processing device characterized by having means for reconverting into a character string or the like and means for converting the reconverted character string into another character type.

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

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a kana-kanji conversion processing device showing one embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment device decomposes an input sentence into 41 parts (sentence 11J) centered on the independent time, inputs it in kana characters, stores the inputted character string in a temporary storage means, and This is an example in which the present invention is applied to a kana-kanji conversion processing device that compares the stored contents with the contents of a word dictionary.

In FIG. 1, 1 is an input keyboard device, 2 is an input character buffer register that temporarily stores input character strings, 3 is a kana-kanji converter, 4 is an output aggregator, 5 is a display device, and 6 is a printer.

Also, is 7 the word 8? 6 is the output statement register, 0

The P4 conversion unit 9 controls the character type correspondence table described below when performing the reconversion process, and has a buffer.

The character type correspondence table 10 is a table in which input characters and reconverted characters are stored in correspondence, as shown in the hiragana and katakana correspondence table as an example in FIG. are doing.

The operation of this embodiment will be described below.

In the following explanation, it is assumed that the input character [ is a hiragana character. It is also assumed that the first character type correspondence table 1O is a "Hiragana/Katakana correspondence table" and the second character type correspondence table 10 is a "Katakana/Romaji correspondence table."

(1) Input of a character string As a manual character string, input ``Kotogeha (words)'' from the keyboard device 1, and then input phrase delimiter information. This input character string is once registered in the input character buffer register 2, and one character r is output from the editor.

4 and then displayed on the display device ff16.

e) Conversion process The Kana-Kanji converter 5 takes out the input character string from the input character buffer register 2, converts it by, for example, the longest-teaching method to obtain "words", passes through the output editor, and displays it first. Displays the input string replaced with the specified input string. This "Usubaha" is stored in the output sentence register.

(3) Suppose that there is a request to reconvert the ``M leaf'' of ``Words'', which has been converted into Kanji characters, into ``rKOTOBmu'' in Roman characters in the reconversion request.

(4) Re-conversion process (i) First, move the cursor to the Δ mark in the RA collection. As a result, the character string to be reconverted becomes a "word". Thereafter, the input character string "Kotoba" will be pointed to, and the pointer will stand at the position of the cursor, and from then on, "wa" (of "Kotoba") will not be reconverted.

(5) Re-conversion process (It) Next, when the character type conversion key is pressed, the input character string at that time is extracted from the input character buffer register 2, passed through the output editor 4, and the displayed character string ( It is replaced with ``1 wo ha, ke'') and displayed as ``Kotunwa''. A flag l is set at the beginning of the corresponding input character string in the input character buffer register 2, indicating that the input character string has been replaced.

(6) Re-conversion processing (1) When the character type conversion key is pressed again, the flag in the input character buffer register 2 is checked and control is passed to the re-conversion unit 9! 1
'. -1) The conversion unit 9 sets the counter to 1 and L7, selects the first character type correspondence table (here, "Hiragana/Katakana correspondence table"), and performs "1° (IN conversion process (N The reconversion unit 9 then takes out the input character string from the input character buffer register 2, temporarily stores it in a buffer within the reconversion unit 9, converts it character by character using the correspondence table, and at the same time reads the input character string from the buffer. Rewrite the contents one character at a time.

The character string “Kotoba.” was reconverted as described above.

” is passed through the output editor 4 to the displayed character string (
``Kotowa wa'') is displayed as a replacement.

(8) Re-conversion processing (V) The above re-conversion result is not what you want, so when you press the character type conversion key again, the re-conversion unit 9 sets the counter to 2 and converts it to the second character type correspondence table (here, ``Katakana/Romaji correspondence table'') is selected and used to rewrite the contents of the buffer one character at a time. The character string rKO〒ODA,ha'' reconverted in this way passes through the output editor 4, and
It is replaced with the displayed character string (``kotoba, wa'') and displayed.

(9) Reconversion processing (b) Repeat the above operations until the desired character type is obtained.

In this case, the desired character type was obtained after reconversion using the second character type correspondence table, so the cursor '4r#
When the conversion unit 9 detects this, the counter in the input character buffer register 2 and reconversion unit 9 are returned to their initial values, and the converted character string in the output sentence register 8 (``d leaf is '') is replaced with the reconverted character string (1-1 (0', I'0.8A is''). After reconverting using the last character type correspondence table and displaying the result, When the character type conversion key is further pressed, a signal is sent to the re-conversion unit 9 or the output editor 4, the converted character string is retrieved from the output sentence register 8, and the original display is returned (in this case, "word, wa").At the same time, The y5 tag at the beginning of the input character string of the long sword character buffer register 2 and the counter of the re-conversion unit 9 are returned to their initial values.

As described above, according to the present invention, there is provided a means for inputting a Japanese sentence umbrella as a kana sentence, a means for temporarily storing a character string manually entered by the input means, a means for writing a single jiji chopstick, and a means for writing the word. A kana-kanji converter having means for searching a dictionary 1 information means and converting the contents of the temporary storage means into vague characters and old-fashioned sentences; In the f-character processing device, the means for reconverting a character string converted into a kanji etc. into an input character string etc. and the means for converting the reconverted character string into another character type are 1, so a character type conversion key is used. It becomes possible to reconvert an input character string once converted into an F character into a character type other than Kanji by repeating the above steps, and this has the effect of making a Japanese word processor etc. easier to use.
