Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the fatigue of an operator and at the same time to shorten the time for selection of homophones, by displaying with a switch the homonym (homophone) added with their using frequencies in a dictionary within the limit of the simultaneous display number. CONSTITUTION:For instance, KANA (Japanese syllabary) letters ''KAKU'' is fed through an input device. Then the using frequency information added to the homophones is delivered simultaneously with Chinese characters. The Chinese character codes are delivered to a display through a gate circuit. At the same time, the frequency infomation is suplied to an adder and added for each Chinese character codes. Here the 1st, 2nd and 3rd thereshold values of the frequency information are set at 80, 10 and 10 respectively together with the limit number of simultaneous display numbers set at 9. Under such conditions, the total output of the adder is compared with the set value 80 through a comparator. Then the gate circuit is closed at a time point when the output of the comparator reaches 80. Thus the transmission is stopped for the chinese character codes to the display. Hereafter the same operation is carried out to give a display to the display after setting the value at 10. In addition, the same operation is repeated with the set value 10.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a Japanese language processing device, and particularly to a Japanese language processing device that allows an operator to easily select a desired one when a homophone and allograph (hereinafter referred to as a "homonym") occurs. Regarding word processing devices: In the kana-kanji conversion input of conventional Japanese language processing devices,
When homophones occur, they are displayed on the display means and the desired character or character string (hereinafter referred to as
The chest is called ``character''. ) was selected. The methods for displaying the above homophones are: α) Displaying all homophones at once; (2) Displaying a predetermined number of words at a time (see Figure 1); and (3) One by one. Three display methods are known.

Among these, method (1) displays a negative pattern, so although the internal processing is simple, the display area within the display device becomes large, and there is a problem that the display device cannot be used effectively as a whole system. Another problem is that since a large number of characters are displayed at once, it takes time for the operator to find the desired character.

Furthermore, in method (2), the display area is more limited than in method α), and characters can be found relatively quickly.

However, there is a possibility that both frequently used characters and rarely used characters are displayed at the same level by -ffll. Furthermore, there are cases where a large number of characters are displayed in addition to the desired character, and there is a problem in that the operator is considerably fatigued when selecting characters.

Further, although the method (3) can reduce the display area, there is a problem in that the operator has to perform many operations to obtain the desired characters, resulting in great operator fatigue.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to improve the display method of homophones, reduce operator fatigue when selecting characters, and reduce the time required for character selection. An object of the present invention is to provide a Japanese language processing device that can shorten the text.

The above-mentioned object of the present invention is to provide a Japanese language system comprising at least means for converting a first character or character string into a second character or character string corresponding thereto, and means for displaying the converted character or character string. Japanese language processing, characterized in that the word processing device is configured such that the number of the converted characters or character strings to be displayed on the display means is determined based on information added to the converted characters or character strings. achieved by the device.

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

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an overview of a Japanese language processing device that is an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the configuration of a dictionary memory, and FIG. 4 is a diagram showing details of a control unit. . In the figure, l is an input device, 2 is a processing device, 3 is a dictionary, and the cow is a display device.

Below, we will take the case of obtaining the character "kan" as an example.1
Now, the operation of the device of this embodiment will be explained.

When a kana character is inputted from the input device 1, the processing device 2 once takes in the kana character and then searches the dictionary 3 for the kana character. As shown in FIG. 3, the dictionary 3 stores kanji characters corresponding to their pronunciations, and outputs the corresponding kanji group to the processing device 2 when the search based on the pronunciation is completed. Here, frequency information corresponding to each character is stored in the kanji group in the dictionary δ.

In the control section in the processing device 2, as shown in FIG.
Frequency information added to the homophone is output simultaneously with the kanji characters, and the kanji code is output to the display device through a gate circuit, but the frequency information is input to an adder and added for each kanji code. Now, the first threshold value of frequency information is set to 80. Assuming that the second threshold value is 10, the third threshold value is 10, and the limit number of items to be displayed simultaneously is 9, the total output of the adder and the set value 80 are compared by a comparator, and the comparator When the output reaches the frequency setting value (δO), the gate circuit is closed and the sending of the kanji code to the display device is stopped. As a result, a display as shown in FIG. 5(1) is obtained.

Hereafter, by setting the frequency setting to 10 and instructing the dictionary to continue processing, the kanji code and frequency information are output from the next character whose transmission has been stopped, and after the same processing, the kanji code and frequency information are output as shown in Figure 5 (
A display as shown in 2) is obtained.

Similar processing is performed for the third threshold value, but the count-over signal of the counter that counts the number of Kanji code outputs has priority over the gate-off signal of the comparator.

In this embodiment, the count number of the counter is set to 9 (see FIG. 5, etc.).

By the above-described operation, a step-by-step display as shown in the fifth wheel is performed. As is clear from a comparison between FIG. 1 and FIG. 5, in the case of the apparatus of this embodiment, manual labor can be performed quickly.

In other words, conventionally, when entering the kana character for "kafu" and trying to obtain "U-kan", the character "kan" is searched for from a large number of displays as shown in FIG. Because input was ended by specifying , it took a long time to search for the character for ``zoon.'' This becomes even more noticeable when the characters "enlarged J" are frequently used2.On the other hand, in the device of this embodiment, characters that are frequently used are displayed with a small number of characters,7 and Since characters with a low number of characters are displayed with a large number of characters, it is possible to shorten the search time.

A case in which the learning functions are combined will be described below.

When the desired character is ``kaku'' and this is selected, the dictionary contents change from the state shown in FIG. 3 to the state shown in FIG. 6 due to the learning function. Along with this, the display will change to
This is done as shown in Figures (1) and (2).

In this embodiment, since the total frequency information is displayed, frequently occurring characters are less likely to be omitted from the display.
High speed character selection can be maintained.

In the above description, all the processing is realized by 71-ware, but it goes without saying that it is also possible to install a CPU in the processing device 2 and realize it by its software.

As described above, according to the present invention, at least means for converting a first character or character string into a second character or character string corresponding thereto, and means for displaying the converted character or character string. In the Japanese language processing device, the number of converted characters or character strings to be displayed on the display means is determined by information added to the converted characters or character strings, so that This has the remarkable effect of realizing a Japanese language processing device that can reduce operator fatigue when selecting words and shorten the time required for character selection.
