JPS5837726A - Input system for japanese character typewriter - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To offer a system which can easily be used by beginners and in which the input speed can be increased after being skilled, by combining keys for English character typewriter and keys for Kanji (Chines characters), and defining and inputting a corresponding kanji through the combination of, if required, numerical keys. CONSTITUTION:In inputting a Kanji, first a shift key 11 for Kanji is depressed, second alphabet keys are depressed and then further, other alphabet keys are depressed to confirm and input the corresponding kanji. Or, first the key 11 is depressed, second a numerical key is depressed, and an alphabet key is depressed and then, the alphabet key is again depressed to confirm and input the corresponding Kanji. Further, Katakana (square form of Japanese syllabary) shift keys 12 and Hiragana (cursive form of Japanese syllabary) shift keys 13 are provided, and in inputting Kanas, one of the two types of keys is combined with English keys to confirm a corresponding Kana and input it.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Regarding #4#i of the present invention, the Kanji Kugata method of Japanese typewriters - including desktop types and so-called Japanese word processors.
The purpose of the Kana input method is that it uses a relatively simple mechanism, and is easy to use for beginners, and allows experienced users to input kanji and characters more easily.
It provides a kana input method.

Recently, various companies have been actively announcing and selling input/output devices for Kanji and Kana called Japanese word processors, which will be discussed. However, the standards of various processors vary, and in particular the character input methods are completely inconsistent. This is due to the fact that K has a large number of kanji characters (3000 to 700G). The conventional method and its peculiarities will be explained for reference. Kana (Romaji) to Kanji conversion method - The reading of the kanji is entered in kana (some say Romaji), which is then further decoded by a device and converted into kanji. The number of keys is small (one theory is that the inputter must be able to read the manuscript with complete KI), and word dictionary processing is required to convert phoneme recognition to meaning recognition, and if the inputter's intention is Once the conversion is done, it requires work to correct it.Also, it is impossible in principle to distinguish between the old and new fonts and requires special input processing.The biggest drawback is that The more you try to configure the device to prevent misreading, the more it must have functions such as text processing, which means that the word processor will be more expensive.

Ben-touch method - Kanji, kana, and various other characters and symbols are lined up on the board, and just like traditional Japanese type, one key corresponds to each character, and printing is done by touching or pressing the key. be.

WUFi is a one-to-one correspondence and requires complicated processing (WUFi is easy to introduce for beginners or Japanese typists, but it is difficult for beginners or Japanese typists to enter quickly and easily. This leads to severe fatigue, and the keys tend to become larger.Multi-tashifushi method - Basically the full character arrangement and opening of the Bentouch method, but with character group keys and sub (numeric) keys. This is a method of inputting by matching one character in combination with It inputs kana and converts it to kanji.

The proficiency effect costs a lot of money, but it's a great success! This method is not common to everyone, so it is difficult to use, especially for beginners, and even this method requires decoding processing.

The present invention eliminates all the drawbacks of the conventional examples described above and has sufficient qualities as a unified standard. To list 8 points, it has a small number of keys (almost the same number as the conventional Kana-Sho-Roman type), has a simple mechanism, does not require special decoding processing, can be used even by beginners, and as you become more skilled. The input speed 1 can be increased to 1.To summarize the present invention, the character input keyboard includes keys for a European typewriter, and further has a shift key for kanji characters, and when inputting kanji characters, the keyboard for inputting characters includes keys for a European typewriter, and also has a shift key for kanji characters. This feature is characterized in that the corresponding kanji is determined and inputted by a combination of `` and alphabetical character keys, and numeric keys if necessary.Moreover, when inputting kanji, when inputting kanji, the ``kanji shift key'' is pressed. 1st press K, alphabet letter key 2nd press, alpha petsushi letter key 3rd press again,
How to confirm and input the corresponding kanji: Press the 1st iC shift key for kanji, 2nd press the number key, 3rd press the alphabetic character key, and then press the 4th alphabetic character key again to enter the corresponding kanji. It is characterized by allowing two methods: a method of determining and inputting information. To describe another embodiment, the present invention has a power I kana shift key and a hiragana shift key, and when inputting kana, the corresponding kana is ensured and input by a combination of one of the two types of shift keys and a Latin key. It is something to do.

Next, embodiments will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an arrangement diagram of an input keyboard according to an embodiment of the present invention. Kanji shift key 11, Katakana shift key 12.
If you remove the hiragana shift $-13, you will end up with a keyboard that can be used for both European and Japanese languages.

In this example, kana characters t- are treated specially, but if kana characters are treated the same as kanji K, then kana shift $-
12 and 13 are no longer necessary, and the display of kana on each key is also omitted. In that case, it is almost similar to the keymate of a European typewriter.

Even if K eventually does, it will not be as hot as the conventional key arrangement, and will be easy to use for users who are accustomed to Western language I Eve writers.

First, we will explain how to input kana characters. Katakana shift key-12 and hiragana shift h*-13 are each independently locked. In other words, each time a shift key is pressed, it becomes locked and unlocked, and it is dangerous for both to become locked. At this time shift $-1417'hha15
, or shiftrotu')'P-16U is valid. When inputting katakana characters with the katakana shift key 12 in a locked state, the characters displayed at the lower right of each key are input when the key is not shifted, and the characters displayed at the upper right of each key are input when the key is shifted. When the hiragana shift key 13 is in the locked state and hiragana characters are input, the characters indicated at the lower right of each key in non-shift and at the upper right of each key in shift are converted into hiragana characters and input.

Next, we will explain how to input kanji. Kanji Jiajiki 11
This is not specified because it is considered to be a problem with the design specifications, whether it becomes a locked state or prohibits locking.

If it is in the locked state, by pressing the kanji shift h key 11 once, there is no need to press the key 11 again until the lock is released, and the kanji input state continues. In the following, the state will be explained as an unlocked state. In other words, each time you press the kanji shift key 11, 1
When the character is in a kanji input state, other shift keys 12.1B, 14.15.16 become invalid. Also, valid keys L1θ~9. It is 2.036 keys. Next, inputting the kanji is completed by inputting the numeric keys, the two-character completed pet key, and the two-letter alphabet keys, then specifying and inputting one kanji returns the kanji input state. To invalidate the kanji input state while tracing, press another invalid key, for example, the Koshima key-17.

The correspondence between kanji and key human power is determined in the comparison table.

In the setting using 2 alphabetic characters, 6 to the power of 2602
You can specify 76 characters, and if you add the numbers 1 to 9, you can specify an additional 6084 characters, and if you add the number O, you can specify an additional 676 characters, and with this method, you can specify a total of 7.
436 characters meet by designation.・IXB, C-6226
The number of characters in the Kanji code system for information exchange is 6349 Kanji characters,
With a total of 6802 characters (453 non-kanji characters), this method has a sufficient specified capacity. Comparing the 3-character KL designation with the 2-character designation, the 2-character designation can be entered faster, so the 676 2-character designations are L (including non-kanji and symbols in some cases among the kanji that can be used). 1.

This is a comparison diagram of the 211th Ka2 character designation.

If the row direction is the first input character and the column direction is the second input character, then, for example, MUH indicates "rfu" and FK indicates "Ei".

, TI8's 2-byte code and the code using numbers and alphabets of this method have a consistent correspondence and are insignificant, so in the end, it is necessary to convert the hood in relation to the output device. Of course, this is a simple conversion, so there is no problem in creating the comparison table of this method for the convenience of the user. J
2965 kanji, non-kanji, level 1 kanji in order of order
One way would be to define them in the order of 1, 3,384 Level 2 Kanji.Another example would be to set the commonly used kanji in the order of symbols and kanji used (symbols and kanji), then phonetic order, as shown in Figure 2. According to the output specifications, it is necessary to apply the comparison table to all J-Technology S designated kanji.The last designation 22 in the comparison table in Figure 2 is ``ko'', and from the next commonly used kanji, It starts with ``purchase'' in lmumu, which is a 3-character designation table with a number as the first character.Even if you include commonly used kanji and other supplementary kanji and non-kanji, 250011% is enough for daily office work. In the range, the comparison table containing numerical designations may be those of numbers 1, 2.3, and the second
A total of 4 comparison tables with the same capacity as the diagram! I can be satisfied with s. If you put 4*t together in an appropriate size, you can place it next to your typewriter and there should be no problems in using it. Another feature of this method is that it is specified using a single number and an alphabetic character, so it is easy to memorize, especially when it comes to kanji (kanji), which are memorized naturally, so mastery is achieved naturally. If it's electronic, it's easy to read Japanese - a method that can be input even in foreign countries.This book does not particularly choose a suitable output (fj1 character) device, type search printing, injet W character, dot print, etc. O
Also suitable for tn deviation. In other words, simple 11. It can be applied to everything from W Japanese typewriters to high-end Japanese word processors.

FIG. 3 shows an example of a flowchart of the method of the present invention, in which input processing is performed depending on whether or not the Ozu key was used as a kanji shift key, and katakana, hiragana, and Roman characters are input according to their respective shift states. When the kanji shift key is pressed, the kanji input state is entered. After that, when 1 number 2 Chou Lua Chou bet or 2 Alphabet is pressed, the kanji is determined and processed, and the kanji input process is performed.

If any other key is pressed, the Kanji input state is immediately set to K17. It is VZt that the embodiment of this 70-Char-4 can be done by using a microcomputer.
not.

Japanese typewriter according to the invention described above
According to this input method, it is mechanically simple, easy for beginners to introduce the conventional Japanese language type (K), and it is possible to use the Japanese language human power method that is effective for proficiency. ! The present invention is also low in cost and would be most effective for popular typewriters.
