Abstract

PURPOSE:To efficiently utilize a block area, by controlling an inflective word so that the word is registered as a word of the highest priority. CONSTITUTION:When converting a reading input, an additional word table in a dictionary file 11 is leaded onto a buffer 21 by a file readout controlling part 17, before the input is executed. Subsequently, when the input is executed, its character is brought to buffering to a buffer 20, and also is displayed 13 through a picture buffer 19. At the same time, an index part, a block area and an inflective dictionary part in a reading corresponding part which corresponds to reading are loaded onto a buffer 23 by a file readout controlling part 17, and also a block in a word dictionary part is loaded onto a buffer 22. Thereafter, whenever the input is executed, the contents of the buffer 20 are added and displayed 13, respectively.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (2) Technical Field of the Invention The present invention is directed to a Japanese input device, in particular, in order to enable kana/kanji conversion of words to be used, dictionary contents regarding words to be used are extracted from a word dictionary. , the active dictionary section and the adjunct word table are configured to be independent, and the block area used for priority processing is configured together with the word dictionary section storing contents related to non-active words and the active dictionary storing contents related to active words. This invention relates to a Japanese input device that efficiently manages words to be saved and output with the highest priority KN.

ω) Technical Background and Problems Japanese input devices have been known that input a kana character string and convert it into kanji each time to create a kanji character string. Such Japanese input devices have a kana-kanji conversion dictionary that stores kanji characters in a form corresponding to their readings. Conventionally, in such conversion dictionaries, inflected words have been registered in the final form, so to speak. For this purpose, for example, when indexing by the longest match method, j! If you try to register each conjugated form as it is in the above conversion dictionary for conjugated words such as ct, which included the problem that a long match is not necessarily the correct answer, the memory required in the dictionary will be reduced. This may include the problem of an undesirable increase in storage space.

Furthermore, if the conversion dictionary section for unused words and the conversion dictionary section for active words were to be made independent, it would be a rather troublesome problem to optimally determine which conversion dictionary section should be indexed first. There are many.

CObject and structure of the invention The present invention aims to solve the above points,
The purpose is to use the block area efficiently. Therefore, the Japanese input device of the present invention includes at least a kana/kanji conversion dictionary, a keyboard, and a display, and indexes the kana character string inputted by the keyboard into the kana/kanji conversion dictionary and displays it on the display. In a Japanese input device that converts into a sentence mixed with kanji while displaying the conversion mode, the word dictionary section stores unused words in a form that corresponds to the yomi, and the stem part of the conjugated word in a form that corresponds to the reading. It has an inflection dictionary section for storing, an adjunct word table for storing transformations corresponding to ending expression parts of the inflection words, and a block area having a function of instructing which of the two dictionary sections should be indexed first. Based on the kana character string input using the keyboard, for unused words, the block area and/or the word dictionary are indexed to extract words that match the pronunciation and convert them into kanji. Then, for inflected words, index the block area of the Kyojoki block area, the above-mentioned inflected dictionary section, and the above-mentioned adjunct word table, or extract the longest matching single word for ``Yaku'' and convert it into kanji. The conversion is controlled so that the correct answer is determined from the word dictionary section or the useful dictionary section even if there is at least a word in the block area that matches the pronunciation input on the block area. If the correct answer is obtained, the correct answer is registered, and the correct answer is registered with the name word matching the pronunciation input on the block area and/or on the single dictionary section. The 5 features are that if the conjugated word is correct, the conjugated word that is the correct answer is registered as the single highest priority word.
This will be explained below with reference to the drawings.

■ Embodiments of the Invention Figure 1 shows the configuration of an embodiment of the kana/kanji conversion dictionary used in the present invention, #I2 shows the configuration of the Zusha index section and word dictionary section, and Figure jII3 shows the implementation of the usage dictionary section. Example configuration, the fourth prisoner is an example configuration of the block area referred to in the present invention, and the fifth
The figure shows an embodiment of the configuration of an adjunct table, a 70-chart explaining an embodiment of the kanji conversion process according to the 61st company of the present invention, and a 70-chart explaining an embodiment of priority change in the present invention. The explanatory diagram, FIG. 8, shows the configuration of an embodiment of the Japanese language input device of the present invention.

In Figure 1, 1 is a kana-yu-kanji conversion dictionary stored in an external file such as a 70-tube disk, and 2 is an adjunct word table (or its contents), which is more specific as shown in Figure 5. 3 is an index section (or its contents) in which index information for indexing a single dictionary section corresponding to the pronunciations ``a'', ``i'', etc. is stored. 4 is a block area (or its contents), which is specifically shown in FIG. 3. What is specifically shown in Figure 6, 6 is the word dictionary section (or its contents)
The contents related to unused words are stored therein, and the contents shown in connection with the index section 3 in FIG. 2 are included.

The contents of the kana-kanji conversion dictionary 1 as shown in FIG. , the conversion process is performed based on the loaded content. Also, 3 to 6 shown in the figure are reading corresponding parts 1-0° corresponding to one of the readings ``a'', ``i'', etc. 1-1. ..., and each reading corresponding part 1-0.1-1... is repeated 0 and word dictionary part 6
As will be described later in FIG. 2, the block is divided into blocks, so that only the blocks necessary for the conversion are loaded onto the main memory. An example of the word dictionary section 6 is shown, and in the illustrated case, it can be considered that the word dictionary section 6 is illustrated even though the first reading is "ki". As mentioned above, the word dictionary section 6 includes blocks 7-0.7-1.・・・・・・
Each reading and kanji are stored in association with each other, such as the reading ``ki'' and the kanji ``ware''. The index section 3 describes which range of pronunciations are stored in each block 7-i. Whether it is stored in the block is determined based on the content of the pointer rADIJ.

Unused words are stored in the word dictionary section 6 as shown in FIG. 2, and the content of the index section 3 indicates where the kanji corresponding to the reading is stored. However, it is not preferable to store inflected words including each inflected form in the word dictionary section 6 because the required storage capacity becomes large. For this reason, inflected words are stored in the form of an inflected dictionary section 6 (Figure 3) that stores information about the stem part and an adjunct word table 2 (Figure 5) that stores information about the word ending part. I am planning to store it.

#! In Figure 3, 8 represents a reading storage section, and 9 represents a kanji expression section. @Table 2 shows the jump destination points. Another 11g55! In J, 10-i,
10-j, 10-, . . . indicate blocks constituting the adjunct word table 2, respectively. And the jIa diagram and #! As can be seen by combining and using Figure 5, if, for example, ``kitte'' is input as a kataki input, the kanji expression part is displayed based on ``ki'' in the yakumi storage part 8 shown in Figure 3. Assuming that the address ADI is pointed to and the kanji ``cut'' is the corresponding kanji, the contents of block 10-1 shown in Figure 5 will be extracted and become ``cut'', and then block 10 will be extracted. The contents of block 10-j are extracted and "cut" is executed, and the contents of block 10- are extracted and the jump destination is "0".
'' is selected, and it is assumed that ``kitte'' corresponds to the above-mentioned reading input ``kitte''<jIL length - 1jk).

In the case of the present invention, as described above, the kana/kanji conversion dictionary is divided into a part for non-used words and a part for used words. By doing so, the procedure for indexing each word can be adapted to a preferred form, and the required storage capacity can be reduced. - However, for the reading input of ``kitte'', for example, should we consider it as a noun ``stamp'' and index it first in the word dictionary section 6t, or should we consider it as a verb ``kitte'' and index it in the conjugation dictionary section 5 first? It depends on the case. That is, for example, if ``stamp'' was converted before, there is a high possibility that it will be ``stamp'' again, and if ``cut'' was converted before, it will be ``cut'' again. There is a high possibility that it is. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 4, the words "stamp", "cut", etc. corresponding to "yomi" are registered in the block area 4 every time they appear in conversion.

In addition, @ in the figure indicates the existence of a homophone.0And, as shown in the figure, if "stamp, cut" is registered on block area 4, it corresponds to the reading ability "kitte". Then, as will be described later with reference to FIG. 6, the contents of the block area 4, ``stamp'', are displayed and inserted, and if the answer is not correct, ``cut'' is displayed, and if the answer is not correct, the word dictionary section 6 is displayed.
is indexed to display items other than ``stamp'', and if there is still no correct answer, the useful dictionary section 5 is indexed and items other than ``cut'' are displayed. The top of block area 4 says "Cut.

If the answer is ``stamp'', ``cut'' is displayed first, then ``stamp'' is displayed, and if there is still no correct answer, the word dictionary section 6 is indexed, and then the usage dictionary section 5 is indexed. .

In addition, if you write the word itself on the block area 4 above, it will be “Stamp,
It was supposed to be registered as "cut off", but instead of the above,
For example, a code such as "(word dictionary), (use dictionary)" may be displayed to instruct the word dictionary section 6 to be indexed first and then the use dictionary section 5 to be indexed.

In the case of this embodiment, the kana/kanji, conversion, and conversion dictionary 1 is configured as shown in FIG. In order to perform the processing, each dictionary section is loaded onto the main memory as follows in response to the reading input. In other words, (1) In the preparatory stage for conversion processing, immediately before conversion processing becomes executable, the contents of adjunct word table 2 are loaded onto the main memory. In this case, the adjunct word table 2 is required for all inflected words, so it can be considered that it is loaded regardless of the pronunciation input.

(2) In this state, when the first "ki" corresponding to the wetting input "kitte" is input, in response to this,
Block area 4 and reading corresponding part 1-6 corresponding to "ki"
The above index section 3, the block 7-0 containing the pronunciation "ki" in the word dictionary section 6, and the usage dictionary section 5 are loaded onto the main storage device, and the kana characters "ki" are displayed on the display.
0(3) Displays ``Kitsu'' Next, when ``@tsu'' is input, block 7-1 containing the reading of ``Kitsu'' in the word dictionary section 6 is loaded. The previously loaded block 7-0 is erased from the main memory. Also on the display is "Kitsu"
is displayed. Note that in the above process (2), the entire usage dictionary section 5 was loaded at once, so in the process (3),
There is no need to load the usage dictionary section 5 again. However, in the above process (2), if only the content that includes the part corresponding to the above-mentioned pronunciation "ki" in the usage dictionary section 5 is loaded, the thread "kitsu" in the process (3) is loaded. Correspondingly, it may be necessary to load necessary portions in the usage dictionary section 5.

(4) i! When the reading is entered up to ``龜tte'',
If necessary, read the place in the word dictionary section 6 as “kitte”.
will load the block containing the .

0 (5) In this state, when kana/kanji conversion is instructed, as will be described later with reference to Figure 6, the main character has already been changed as described above. The conversion is performed using the content loaded on the storage device.

#I6 diagram shows what is loaded on the main memory, namely %r-pull 2, block 4, and index s.
3, necessary blocks in the word dictionary section 6 corresponding to the pronunciations, and the utilization dictionary section 5 to perform the conversion process. "stamp.

It is assumed that it is registered as "Cut." In this state, it is assumed that the reading input "kitte" is input as described above and the conversion key is pressed. At this time, as shown in FIG. 6, the contents of the block area 4 are searched. In the above case, from the word ``stamp'' in which L ``stamp'' is registered, ``word ``stamp'''' and ``stamp'' shown in FIG. 6 are displayed as a conversion result on the display. If the answer is not correct, then if the correct answer is not obtained in this state corresponding to "kitte" in the contents on the block area 4, then the "no word/conjugation word" shown in FIG. Then, homonyms other than "stamp" are displayed based on the contents of the loaded word dictionary section 60.In addition, if the correct answer is not obtained,
Based on the contents of Utilization Dictionary Section-6 and Adjunct Word Table 2, if there is a word other than ``cut'', such as ``cut'' or ``saitte'', and if there is a desired word, then ``kitte'' is used. " is displayed as is.

When performing the above processing, as mentioned above, there is a high possibility that a word that has been previously converted based on a certain reading will be converted in the same way again when given the same reading. For this reason, even in Japanese input devices that use conventional word dictionaries that store inflected words in the final form,
Among homophones, priority is given so that the word converted as the correct answer has the highest priority.90 In the case of the present invention, as described above, inactive words and inactive words are Since the words are stored in separate dictionary parts, the priority processing within each dictionary part is quite complicated. It is also necessary to correctly manage the priority order among certain conjugated words.

FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an embodiment of changing the priority order in the present invention. In the figure, coordinates A,
B, C, . . . H represent dictionaries in which words with matching “yomi” exist. However, in this case, in order to make processing easier when there are multiple conjugated words with the same pronunciation in the conjugated dictionary, words with longer stems and words with shorter stems are shown separately. There is. Therefore, in the jlII diagram, for example, in 41GU, the word that matches the input kana character string and ``Ayami'' is registered in the [block area, and the word stems ``Imono'' and ``Kayami'' are also registered in the Utilization Dictionary. We value the state in which things exist.

Also, in the 7th H, coordinates 1. If, m, IV,
V represents the dictionary in which the correct answer existed. For example, the coordinate ■ is a state in which ``There was only one conjugated word with the same pronunciation and it was the correct answer, or there were multiple conjugated words with the same pronunciation and the word with the longer stem was the correct answer.'' For example, the coordinates that represent ``The correct answer was a conjugated word that was already recorded in the block area.'' 1l
t-representing 0 or less Referring to Figure 7, the mode in which words with matching pronunciations exist (coordinates A, B,...
, H) and the mode in which the correct answer existed (coordinates 1.I1....■
), rewriting the priority order on the (:) block area (including new registration... In this case, K11l is obviously placed at the top priority), (
it) Explain how to rewrite the priority order within the word dictionary section and (i) rewrite the priority order within the iI usage dictionary section0(6) Coordinates (A, I), (C, I
), (E, I) In this case, only the priority order within the word dictionary section is rewritten. In this case, since the word with the matching pronunciation is not registered in the block area, even if the same pronunciation is input again next time, it will inevitably be "
Since indexing to the word dictionary section 6 is performed via the "no words/conjugated words" route, even if only the rewriting within the word dictionary section is done,
Time delay is relatively small and sufficient.

(7) Locus 41i (F, x) + (n, ■),
(F, tv), (H, IV) In this case, the word that appears as the correct answer is registered on the block area 4.

(Hiro coordinates (B, U), (D, II) In this case, only the priority order in the active dictionary section is rewritten. In this case, the words with matching pronunciations are divided into block area 4 and the word dictionary section. 6 and 6, the indexing to the conjugated dictionary section 5 is inevitably done through the route of "word - no conjugated word" shown in Figure 6, so it is sufficient to simply rewrite the conjugated word. be.

As described above, by rewriting the priority order, the correct answer can be obtained efficiently.

FIG. 8 shows the configuration of an embodiment of the Japanese language input device of the present invention. The reference numeral 11#i dictionary file in the figure is the first
The dictionary 1 shown in the figure is stored, 12 is a keyboard, 13t;j display, 14 is a keyboard control section, 15 is a kana/kanji conversion section, 16 is a file control section, 1

A desired block 7-i is loaded and stored, and 23 is a dictionary content storage buffer 2 into which the index section 3, block area 4, and useful dictionary section 5 shown in FIG. 1 are loaded. C represents what is stored in
Before manually performing "ki", the file succession control unit 17 transfers the adjunct word table 2 in the dictionary file 11 to the buffer 2.
0 loaded on top of 1 and when you input "ki",
"KI" is buffered in the buffer 20 and displayed on the display 13 via the screen buffer 19, and at the same time, the index in the pronunciation corresponding section 1-6 corresponding to the pronunciation "KI" is set by the file succession control section 17. part 3, block area 4, and useful dictionary part 5 are loaded into buffer 23, and block 7-0 in word dictionary part 6 is loaded onto buffer 22.

Thereafter, each time "tsu" or "te" is input, the contents of the buffer 20 are added and displayed on the display 13, respectively. The contents of the buffer 22 are updated as necessary. When the conversion key is pressed in this state, the kana/kanji conversion section 15Fi performs conversion processing in the manner shown in FIG. The conversion results are then displayed on the display 13. Needless to say, when the above processing is performed, it can be considered that the above-mentioned priorities are changed on the buffers 21, 22, and 23, and as a result, by being written back to the company dictionary file 11, Note that the priority order in the word dictionary section 6 and the usage dictionary section 5 can be rewritten by rewriting the order in the index section 3 shown in FIG. 2 or in the reading storage section 8 shown in FIG. 3.
It can be thought that this is done by rewriting the order within.

(g) As described in detail, according to the present invention, in a configuration in which inactive words are stored in the word dictionary section and inflected words are stored in the inflected dictionary section, previously converted words can be efficiently extracted. This makes it possible to manage the situation correctly.
