Abstract

PURPOSE:To input characters in KANJI (Chinese character) only through the operation of selection keys, and to shorten necessary time, by performing the KANJI input in the same method with a Japanese dictionary, and displaying relative KANJI and words and phrases as a KANJI list. CONSTITUTION:A Chinese character library 3 contains basic words and characters connected possibly before and behind them, namely, a group of prefixes and a group of suffixes for the basic words and a group of terminations of words such as postpositional words as auxiliaries to main words and auxiliary verbs in the form of a KANJI list. A display device 4 is provided with a display part 4a for a document and a KANJI list display part 4b. An input document is displayed at the display part 4a and when HIRAGANA (cursive form of Japanese syllabary) which corresponds to a basic word is inputted, a corresponding KANJI list is displayed automatically at the display part 4b. Then, a necessary character in the KANJI list is selected with a selection key to change display at a corresponding part in the document at the display part 4a into said input word or phrase.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention is a Japanese word processor (sentence creation device).
This invention relates to a kanji input device applied to.

How to input kanji in a Japanese word processor is an important issue, and one method that has already been put into practical use is the palette input method.

There is also a kana-kanji conversion input method. - The doublet input method provides a palette with a large number of kanji characters and specifies which kanji to use from this palette, and can be said to be a kanji input method similar to conventional Japanese typewriters. Although this palette input method is easy to operate, it takes time to find the desired kanji, and it is necessary to get used to the kanji arrangement on the palette. In addition, the Kana-Kanji conversion input method inputs from Hiragana K and converts it into Kanji by specifying a specific part of it. had the problem that it took a long time to input the desired kanji. Of course, as with the palette method, new training regarding input operation methods was required.

This invention solves the problems of the conventional kanji input method described above. That is, the present invention uses the same method as when looking up an ordinary Japanese dictionary, so it is possible to input kanji very easily and in a short time.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

FIG. 1 shows the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention, in which 1 represents an i-microcomputer, 2 represents a keyboard in which a hiragana key, a selection key, and a next page key are arranged, and 3 represents kanji characters. Indicates a library. The keyboard 2 may have a simple arrangement of keys.

Also, kana characters.

Kanji characters and the like are processed as code signals corresponding to each character. The kanji character library 3 stores a kanji list consisting of a basic word and characters that may be connected before or after the basic word. The basic word consists of, for example, the kanji character Yu character. A kanji list is composed of a prefix group, a connective word group, and a word ending group consisting of particles and auxiliary verbs for these basic words. Such a kanji list is created in advance and can also be created by the user manually using the keys on the keyboard 2. For this reason, R as Kanji character library 3
Rewritable memory such as AM or IP ROM is used.

Further, in FIG. 1, reference numeral 4 indicates a display device using, for example, a CRT, which is composed of a text display section 4a and a kanji list display section 4b. A display control circuit 5 is provided in association with the display device 4, and is configured to convert code signals such as kana characters and kanji characters into corresponding display signals for butter y using a kanji font library. Sentences entered by key operations on the keyboard 2 are displayed on the display section 4a.
will be displayed. When a hiragana corresponding to a basic word is input, a corresponding kanji list is automatically displayed on the display section 4b. The user can input kanji by selecting the desired character from this kanji list using the selection key. - As an example, when the user presses the key ``Totsukiyo'', a list of kanji as shown in FIG. 2 is displayed on the display section 4b. Then, when you operate the selection keys A(Z)B■C■ on the keyboard 2, the word "Original patent right is KO" is input, and the display section 4m
The display of the corresponding part of the text displayed in the text changes to the above-mentioned input word.

Additionally, basic words may include homophones.

For example, there are parks and lectures.

In this case as well, a kanji list is created for each basic word, and the desired basic word can be searched for using the next page key on the keyboard 2. Furthermore, an external memory such as a floppy disk (product name) that stores the text data completed by the above operations and fixed text.
6 is provided.

In addition, since it may be necessary to input kanji/characters, the keyboard 2 is provided with a selection key for partially using kanji constituting a basic word. If the basic rate @ is all C characters, Goki and K characters are input, and when the λ key is pressed, the kanji character of ``r% tolerance'' is input.

According to the invention, as can be understood from the description of the above-mentioned embodiment, since kanji input is performed in the same manner as in the Japanese language dictionary of propositions, no special training is required and the operation is simple. Furthermore, in this invention, related kanji characters and phrases are displayed as a kanji list, so input can be made simply by operating a selection key, and the required time can be shortened.

Note that the basic word is not limited to the C character, but may be 3 to 1 T characters. Further, the text display section 4 and the kanji list display section 4b can be constructed by dividing the screen of the same display device into two. In this case, the display mode during text creation may be one-split display, and the editing mode may be switched to display /page over the entire screen. Furthermore, a break may be inserted into the displayed sentence to indicate the part of the basic word.
