Abstract

PURPOSE:To retrieve an idiom with a minimum number of reading Kana inputs by retrieving pertinent idioms with Kana character inputs in accordance with the number of Kana characters and displaying retrieval results in accordance with the limit number of a part which controls the number of pertinent idioms. CONSTITUTION:The operator inputs one Kana character from a Kana character input part 1. A Kana character string length counting part 6 sets the count value to one. A retrieving part 8 retrieves idioms beginning with this first Kana character from an idiom file 3. If the number of pertinent idioms is larger than a limit number M of a pertinent idiom number limiting part 9, the second Kana character is inputted from the input part 1 by the retrieving part 8. The counting part 6 sets the count value to two by this input of the input part. The retrieving part 8 retrieves idioms beginning with two inputted Kana characters from the file 3. If the number of pertinent idioms is equal to or smaller than the limit number M, the retrieving part displays pertinent idioms on a display part 5. The operator selects Kana characters by the key operation. Thus, the number of inputs of Kana characters is limited.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a kana-kanji conversion device used in the field of Japanese information processing such as a Japanese word processor.

Construction of conventional examples and their problems In recent years, various kana-kanji conversion devices have been devised to easily obtain sentences containing kanji and kanji.

A conventional kana-kanji conversion device will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the block configuration of a conventional kana-kanji conversion device.

In FIG. 1, 1 is a kana character input section for inputting kana;
Reference numeral 2 denotes a search section that refers to the idiom file 3 to search for a corresponding idiom based on the input kana string inputted from the kana character input section 1, and 4 is a display section that displays the idiom searched by the search section λ. .

The operation of the above configuration will be briefly described below.

First, input the required kana from the kana character input section 1.

For example, if the idiom ``kana characters'' is needed, the idiom ``kanamoji'' is inputted sequentially from the kana character string input section 1.

Based on the kana character string ``kanamoji'' sent from the kana character input unit 1, the search unit 2 searches the idiom ``kana character'' by referring to the idiom file 3, which has a file as shown in Figure 2. find out

Next, the display section 4 outputs and displays the phrase "kana character" searched by the search section 2.

However, with the above configuration, it is not possible to search for a corresponding phrase unless all the pronunciations of the phrase are input. In other words, the search section 2 must always perform a search based on the reading kana length (L) of the phrase file, as shown in FIG.

In addition, with this type of packaging, only phrases that completely match the kana sequence can be searched, and even if there are phrases with similar pronunciations, they cannot be selected.

On the other hand, in addition to the above-mentioned devices, there is also a device that performs kana-kanji conversion, sets a specific abbreviated reading for a certain compound word, and obtains the compound word by inputting the abbreviated reading. For example, if you want to output the idiom ``Tokyo Post Office'', you can use an informal kana sequence like ``tokitoyu'' to output 1.
This allows the phrase "Tokyo Post Office" to be output. However, this type of device has the disadvantage that the operator must memorize all the specific abbreviated pronunciations for a certain idiom, and it takes a very long time to get used to using this function. Ta.

Purpose of the Invention In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, the present invention provides a kana-kanji conversion device that allows searching for idioms using the minimum number of pronunciations and kana inputs, displays similar idioms that match the minimum number of yomikana inputs, and enables the selection of idioms. The purpose is to provide.

Structure of the Invention The present invention provides a search means for searching an idiom file for at least one idiom that matches a kana sequence composed of at least one kana or more inputted from a kana character input means. The above-mentioned object is achieved by providing the following: and a short phrase display restriction means for displaying the phrase on the display means when the number of phrases searched by the search means is less than a certain number.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Figure 3 shows the block configuration of a kana-kanji conversion device according to an embodiment of the present invention. In Figure 3, 1 is a kana character input section, 3 is an idiom file, and 6 is a display section. correspond to the same figure numbers in FIG. Reference numeral 6 denotes a kana character string length counting section which counts the number t of kana characters in the kana string input from the kana character input section 1. 7 is a kana character string length specification part, and when the search part 8 searches for a phrase from the phrase file part 3, the search is restricted by the number of kana in the kana string, as described later. 09 is a restriction on the number of applicable phrases. In the department,
When the search section 8 searches for a corresponding phrase using a kana character string and a kana count, if the number of corresponding phrases is equal to or greater than a certain number M, the display section 5 is configured not to output and display the phrase.

The operation of the above configuration will be explained below with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

(b)...First, the operator enters the kana 1 from the kana character input section 1.
Enter characters. For example, if you want to obtain the idiom "kana character", input "power" (0 (b))...The kana character string count section 6 sets the count value to "1" by inputting one kana character. 0 (c)...The search unit 8 searches the idiom file 3 as shown in FIG.
Search for idioms starting with "power".

As a result, a total of 6 Q phrases from address A 101 to 46150 are searched (0)...Next, if the limit number M of the roaring word limit section 9 is 10, then M
0, so the search section 8 causes the display section 5 to display "Please enter the next kana character" and then returns the control to (a).

(a)'...The operator inputs the kana "su" following the "power" of the "kana characters" from the kana character input section 1.

(b)'...The kana character string counting section 6 increments the count by "1" by inputting the kana character "su", and sets the count value to "2".

(c)', . . . From the idiomatic phrase file 3 as shown in FIG. Search for idioms starting with .

As a result, the address number 148 “kana” and ・bu≦14
9. Search for matching "kana characters".

)'...The limit number M of the word limit section 9 is 10, and M>2, so the search section 8 displays "kana" on the display section 5.
and issue an instruction to display "kana characters".

(e)...The display unit 5 displays "kana" and "kana characters".

(f)... The operator selects the "kana character" by operating keys on the keyboard (not shown), and ends the input of the "kana character".

As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the search unit 8 searches for the relevant compound word from the phrase file 3, the search unit 8 searches for the specified phrase by only inputting a kana character string with the number l of kana, and the corresponding phrase number limiter 9 By configuring the search results to be displayed according to the limited number M of , the number of times of inputting kana characters can be reduced compared to the conventional method.

In addition, when inputting the word ``appropriate person,'' the idiom file records the idiom ``appropriate person'' after the idiom ``appropriate,'' as shown in Figure 5. When a search is performed, there is a high possibility that the phrase "suitable person" will be output and displayed using the above device. At this time, the operator can arbitrarily select the phrase "suitable person" instead of the word "suitable person."

Effects of the Invention As described above, when the search means searches for a corresponding phrase from the compound phrase file, the search means searches for the corresponding phrase using the input kana character string, and controls the corresponding phrase display restriction means. By configuring words to display search results according to the number of controls, it is possible to search for phrases with the minimum number of pronunciations and kana manual effort, and at the same time display similar phrases, which has great value.
