JPS5911928B2 - Homophone selection device - Google Patents

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a homophone selection device in a kana-kanji conversion system.

If there are homophones in the Kana-Kanji conversion system,
Conventionally, a specific word has been selected by an operator repeatedly specifying the word each time.

However, this method places an extremely heavy burden on the operator, and especially when the same word appears many times, there is a need for a device that can automatically select a specific word once a specific word has been specified. . The present invention has been made to satisfy such conventional demands, and allows the operator to specify a specific word with priority once for homophones, and then select the same homophones from now on. It is an object of the present invention to provide a homophone selection device which automatically selects a word without operator intervention when necessary. The present invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the display surface of the display. In FIG. 1, 1 is a control device, and this control device 1
A display device 3, an input device 4,
A storage device 5 is connected. Character information inputted in, for example, kana through the input device 4 is converted into kana-kanji by the control device 1 and displayed on the display device 3. Since the method for converting kana to kanji is well known, its explanation will be omitted. For example, if one page of Japanese text is input in kana and cannot be converted uniquely by kana-kanji conversion, that is, if there are homophones, the conversion result will be displayed on the display screen of the display device 3 in the format shown in Figure 2. is displayed.

That is, for example, two words "specification" and "cotyledon" are displayed in parentheses so that one of them can be selected. Therefore, each homophone must be selected in turn,
The control position 1 requests the selection of homophones in sequence (for example, moves the cursor to the position of the homophone). For example, a command to give priority to the word "specifications" among the first homophones is input to select the word "specifications" (this may be done in the same manner as in the past).

At the same time, the word "specification" is stored in the storage device 5. The storage device 5 can store a plurality of words, and words to which priority is given are stored. By doing this, each time the control device 1 requests (moves the cursor) which of the two words "specification 1" and "child" to select, It is checked whether a word to which priority is given exists in the storage device 5, and the word to which priority is given is selected and displayed.

Then, the operator checks and if it is 0K, the process moves on to the next homophone. If the priority is to be canceled, the word is canceled using the input device 4, thereby erasing the word from the storage device 5.

In addition, if it is necessary to select ``Confections'' instead of ``Specifications'' from the middle of the sentence, at that point, it is sufficient to revoke the priority of ``Senior'' and give priority to ``Cotton'' and memorize it.

As described above, according to the present invention, once the operator assigns priority to the word using the input device 4, when the operator needs to select that word from now on, the word is assigned priority between the control device 1 and the storage device 5. The selection operation is automatic and does not require operator intervention.

Therefore, the operator only needs to confirm the selection result using the control device 1, which can significantly reduce the burden on the operator. In the embodiment, one input device 4 is responsible for both the kana input operation and the priority granting operation, but it goes without saying that two input devices may be provided to handle separate operations.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1 In a kana-kanji conversion system that inputs Japanese sentences in kana according to their pronunciation and converts them into corresponding sentences containing kanji, there is a display device that displays the kana-kanji conversion results and homophones, and a display device that displays the kana-kanji conversion results and homophones. an input means for giving priority to one word; a storage means for storing the word to which priority is given by the means; and means for checking whether a word exists, and if a word to which priority is given exists in the storage means, the one word is automatically selected.
