Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a desired character in KANJI (Chinese character) and to display information on the reading of the KANJI character at the same time, by inputting the number of strokes and displaying characters in KANJI with the number of strokes, and selectively inputting the characters in KANJI. CONSTITUTION:Control over stroke-number keys (KEY) and display character selection keys (INKEY), retrieval of a desired character from a KANJI font pattern memory (KPROM) and a reading information storage memory (YROM), control over output to a display body (DISP), etc., are performed through the software of a microprocessor (MPU). The MPU performs control over the main equipment, arithmetic, and input and output control, and the KPROM is a POM stored with the number of strokes of each KANJI and KANJJ font patterns. A buffer memory BUFF is an RAM for displaying a character patterns, selected among the character patterns in the KPROM, on the display body DISP. With the INKEY, a display character is selected and with the KEY, the number of strokes is inputted.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for a kanji processing system, and more particularly to a kanji processing device having a stroke count input function.

Conventionally, in kanji processing machines that do not have a kana-kanji conversion function, the method of inputting kanji is to input the onyomi or kunyomi of the desired kanji from the normal keyboard.
A method was adopted in which several types of kanji corresponding to the reading were displayed on a display and the desired kanji was selected from among them (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 1983-61829.6/18.30).
.

However, with this method, there is a problem in that the reading of a kanji whose reading is unknown cannot be displayed on the display body.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and in addition to the above-mentioned method or in addition to methods other than the above-mentioned methods, by inputting the number of strokes, the kanji having the number of strokes is displayed on the display, Furthermore, a desired kanji can be obtained by selecting the displayed kanji and then inputting it, and at the same time, a kanji processing device is provided which has a function of displaying the pronunciation information of the kanji.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a plan view of a kanji processing machine having an example of a stroke count input device according to the present invention, where l is the main body of the device, 2 is a dot matrix display, 3 is a display character selection input key, and 14 is a reading key. -15 is usually a numeric key (by pressing the 70F sukuro key, it becomes a stroke/number key), 6 is an arithmetic key, and 8 is a character enter key.

First, use the kanji/calculation switch key 9 to set the mode for kanji processing or calculation processing. In the calculation processing mode, it functions as a normal calculator and has a dot matrix display (the display in this example uses a 16 x 300 dot liquid crystal element), so it is possible to display calculation formulas and double display of calculation formulas and answers. etc. is possible.

By entering the kanji processing mode, enter the reading of the desired kanji using the reading key in 4, and press the enter key in 8. 20 kanji with that reading will be displayed, so select the displayed character in 3. By pressing the key, the desired kanji can be obtained. If there are 20 or more kanji characters for that reading, the next 20 characters will be displayed by further inputting the enter key, so perform the same operation as before.

The above description is an essential function of the stroke number input device of this embodiment, and the description of the stroke number input device will be given below.

In the kanji processing mode, by pressing the desired number of strokes with the 5 stroke count input key and pressing the 7 enter key, 20 kanji characters with that stroke number information will be displayed first, and then the 3 below will be displayed. Input by pressing a character selection key. If the desired kanji is not displayed among the first 20 characters, by pressing the enter key again, the next 20 characters will be displayed. No matter how many times you press the button, the number of kanji you entered will be the same as the number of strokes you entered.
is not displayed, that is, if the key operator miscounts the number of strokes or the key operator makes a mistake, by pressing the enter key again, 20 kanji characters with the number of strokes added to the number of strokes are displayed one by one. If the desired kanji is still not available, display the kanji with the number of strokes subtracted by 1 from the first number of strokes input, and continue in this order, but the machine will automatically display up to ±3 strokes of the number of strokes input. . In other words, if a kanji is not displayed within that range, it is possible that the desired kanji does not exist in the memory element or that the key operator has missed the displayed kanji. Furthermore, when you have obtained the desired kanji, press the 8 enter key.
Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing a control system of the present invention, which can display reading information and the like on the display. Since the present invention uses a stroke number input method, only this part will be explained in the drawings.

The MPU is an 8-bit microprocessor that controls, calculates, and manages input and output of this device. KPRQM is a kanji (

It's OM.

3 and 4 are block diagrams showing the states of the kanji font pattern memory KFROM and the reading information memory YR()M in FIG. 2.

In FIG. 3, processing speed can be increased by providing, for each number of strokes, a storage address for the font patterns of all Kanji characters having that number of strokes in the number of strokes information.

In FIG. 4, it is assumed that when the data of the Kanji font pattern is compressed by some method, stroke count information (5 bits) is incorporated into the compressed data, and the search for the stroke count is performed using the first 5 bits of each Kanji compressed pattern. The method shown in Figure 4 requires that for each number of strokes, the storage address code of the kanji font pattern that uses the number of strokes as the number of strokes is stored as a conversion table (6KB for monthly S first level kanji). This is an effective method because there is no

In addition, the stroke number key (KEY) and the display character selection key (IN
KEY) management, Kanji font pattern memory (KP
ROM) and reading information storage memory (YROM), output management to the display (DISP), etc.
This is software processing performed by an 8-bit microprocessor (MPU).

Also, in order to reduce the number of keys, I printed only the number indicating the position for the display character selection key part 3, and
5 and 2 may be replaced by the number of strokes of 5, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, which are other embodiments.

As explained above, according to the device of the present invention, as a kanji input method, not only the reading input but also the stroke number input can be used as a means, so it can be expected to have a wide range of applications in all aspects of kanji processing1. It is also effective as a kanji educational device because its reading can be displayed on the display.
