Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the number of same shapes and different characters extremely by forming keys corresponding to respective rhymes and vowels constituting the reading of Chinese characters and input keys corresponding to main reading and partial additional reading. CONSTITUTION:An input part 1 is provided with the keys corresponding to respective rhymes and vowels constituting the reading of Chinese characters, non- partial conversion keys corresponding to main reading obtained by combining the vowel with the rhyme of a Chinese character itself and partial conversion keys coresponding to partial additional reading simultaneously providing the combination of the vowels and rhymes of parts constituting the Chinese character. A signal inputted by the key operation is discriminated as non-partial conversion or partial conversion and processed by a reading processing part 3 and inputted to a Chinese character conversion part 4. The conversion part 4 controls respective processing parts 5-8 to select and display a same sound and different shape character specified by the key from dictionary parts 13-15 storing Chinese characters corresponding to the main reading and the partial additional reading on a display part and specify a required Chinese character out of the displayed characters by a light pen 17.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (A) Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a Chinese character input system, and particularly to a part of a Chinese character input system that together with the combination of the initials and the words corresponding to the pronunciation of a Chinese character itself. The configuration is configured so that the combination of the initial and the ``detention'' for ``tuke'' is input to narrow down the number of homophones, and the distinction between the input mode and, for example, a word input is specified using an external conversion key. This paper is about a Chinese kanji input system.

(B) Technical Background and Problems Generally speaking, Chinese kanji are read using the initials (21) that correspond to consonants, as shown in the leftmost column of Figure 1, and as shown in the top row of Figure 1. Shunmo (3), which corresponds to a vowel
5), it is possible to express it in Roman letters, so to speak. Figure 1 shows the correspondence map between Seibo and Shunmo for the six characters of the Chinese government, which is recommended by the Chinese government. About the kanji 'ro''lu (i.e. l+u)
”, even if you input the reading with two touches on the keyboard, there are many homophones.

As one measure to deal with the existence of such a large number of homophones and allographs, the following measures can be considered. That is,
Taking the above kanji ``Ro'' as an example, the parts ``口'', ``stop'', and ``each'' that make up the kanji ``Ro'' are also one character, and their readings are generally ``seizo'' and ``shu''. It can be given as a combination of

The reading of the above kanji ``Ro'' itself, ``1.'', is called the parent reading. On the other hand, by combining the relevant pronunciation and the reading of the part itself, we get ``11L-how''.
," 11Lchi ' (If stop is adopted (,),"
11Lyg' (when each is adopted), the reading of the form is called external supplementary JCmi.

(C) Object and Structure of the Invention It goes without saying that the present invention allows input based on the above-mentioned main reading, but also allows input corresponding to the above-mentioned external additional reading to significantly reduce the number of homophones and allographs. At the same time, it is easy to distinguish between the case where ``nu'' is entered into ``111t'' and the case where ``lukow'' is inputted to enter the word ``Roguchi,'' which means entrance, for example. The purpose of this project is to provide a Chinese kanji input system that allows instructions to be given in a simple manner. Therefore, the Chinese kanji input system of the present invention is provided with keys corresponding to each of the initials and extenuating words that constitute the pronunciation of a Chinese kanji, and a combination of a key corresponding to the initial and a key corresponding to the junmo. In a Chinese kanji input system that inputs Chinese kanji by operation, corresponding to one Chinese kanji, the combination of the initials of the kanji itself and the yaku na yaku umi and the yayaku together with the yayaku make up the kanji. Corresponding to the kanji of the kanji that give the combination of the ``seihyo'' and the ``detention'' for the ``partsuke'', there must be a ``description section'' that stores the corresponding kanji, and a key human power that corresponds to the above ``extra ``additional readings.'' In response to this, the above-mentioned dictionary was configured to display all of the additional readings for the relevant part on the display, either one or the kanji for the number of rice grains, and key human efforts were made to correspond to the additional readings for the above-mentioned parts. The characteristic is that a process corresponding to the external additional reading input is executed in response to the operation of the external conversion key that instructs the external conversion key. In addition, even if it is difficult to input the reading by dividing it into the initial and the custodial, it can be input with a simple operation, and this VC can be used to narrow down the number of homonyms based on the external and additional readings. To do so, it is expressed as a percentage. This will be explained below with reference to drawing fm.

(D+ Embodiment of the invention-" Figure 2 is an explanatory diagram showing how homophones are narrowed down in the case of inputting only the main reading and in the case of inputting external additional readings. be.

In the figure, "national standard grade" refers to the Chinese government's research on Chinese national standard grade kanji (3775 characters), and "high frequency" refers to characters with high frequency that appear in Chinese texts (3925 characters).
This shows the case where we selected and investigated this. As can be seen from the figure, in the case of inputting only the main reading, there are cases in which about 56 to 60 homophones appear, but in the case of inputting the above-mentioned external additions, 21 to 2 homonyms appear.
The maximum number of cases in which 5 homophones appear is the maximum, and in most cases only 6 to 10 homonyms appear.

FIG. 3 shows a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention, and reference numeral 1 in the figure is an input section, which is equipped with a keyboard as will be described later with reference to FIG. 4, 2 is a display,
3 is the reading processing unit, and the input example λ, ge' I1w
The kou ten part conversion key 1 and the 'lluk6g + no part conversion key 1 are processed separately, 4 is a kanji conversion unit that controls each process 5, 6, 7, 8.9, etc. described later, 5 is 6 is a frequency management unit that manages the frequency of occurrence of characters used when inputting a sentence, 7 is a word registration/deletion processing unit, 8 is a kanji dictionary processing unit, 10 is a Input/output control unit, 11 is a document floppy 112
1 is a dictionary floppy; 13 is a dictionary component that conceptually represents the internal structure of the dictionary floppy; 14 is a control information storage unit containing single character and word dictionaries; and 15 is a pattern dictionary that stores kanji images and 16 is the memory that holds the pattern, 17 is the write area where the control program is stored, and a data work area is created.
Pen, 18 represents a host data processing device.

In the above single character/word detailed book, the above kanji ``Ro'' and ``Roguchi'
'', for example, in the alphabet jlTh, lz + -→'' address, ... 1*g--→α address, jh * kou-→] address, °゛11L+ko
u-→α address + b address, ...lx *ghi-→
Address α is written as follows. Note that the cL@ address above represents the address where the character "ro" is stored in the pattern dictionary 15, the b address also represents the address where the character "guchi" is stored, and the * mark corresponds to the external additional reading. , and the ten seal indicates that it is not an external supplementary reading.

For now, from the keyboard, which will be described later with reference to Figure 4,
With two touches of the initial l11 and the quantity 1u, g l,
When ``l'' is inputted and ``h'' is inputted, and the mute outside conversion key is designated, the kanji dictionary processing unit 8 reads out a kanji with the reading M 7ul, in which the kanji ``ro'' exists.

Also Ml@%　I%kl.

When ``6 no ukou'' is input with 4 touches of ``wo1L'' and the division conversion key is specified, ' in the external supplementary reading'
The kanji characters are narrowed down to ``llwkou'' and read out.

Furthermore, when '1lukox' is input with 4-touches and the Mugengai conversion key is specified, words whose pronunciation is 'l1uk6π1' are read out, and the word 'Roguchi' exists among them. It takes shape.

In general, characters and words with the same pronunciation are displayed in sequence on the display 2 by repeatedly pressing the conversion key or the conversion key without a part. It may be considered that this fc-th processing is performed in the homophone allograph processing unit 5 shown in FIG.

FIG. 4 shows the keyboard in the input section shown in FIG. 3. In the figure, keys corresponding to initials such as b, p, and rn and keys corresponding to initials such as α, αi, and αn are provided. A thick line portion CL dividing the right and left parts at the center of the figure represents the boundary between the key part operated by the operator's right hand and the key part operated by the left hand.

In the case shown in Figure 4181, a non-external conversion key 19 and an external conversion key 20 are provided below the center of the illustration. As mentioned above, for example, when inputting the kanji ``RoJ'', it is necessary to input it in the form according to the extra readings s ' 11Lk.
After inputting ``ow'' with 4 touches, and operating the 2゜ change key, the external additional reading will be changed to ``1''.
Kanji with lukoJ are extracted and displayed on display 2. That is, the character "ro" appears as one of the kanji characters that are sequentially displayed, resulting in an irregular shape. When inputting the Oda word ``Roguchi'', enter the reading ``lJukow'' in 4 Tasochi, and then operate the Mugengai conversion key 20 to input the word with the reading ``Wノukou''. are extracted and displayed sequentially on display 2, part 1
This is the form in which the word ``Roguchi'' appears.

Input from the keyboard is performed as described above, but it was troublesome to input the pronunciation of each kanji using a combination of initials and physical quantities. Sometimes there isn't. In addition, there are cases where the combination of voice initials and shunmo is different from the combination shown in Figure 1, as in the case of the Cantonese pronunciation.

That is, in the case of Cantonese, since the initials and the device itself are different, a keyboard that follows the pronunciation shown in FIG. 1 may not be able to input according to the pronunciation pressure of Cantonese.

In preparation for the above case, a representative kanji dictionary is prepared on the control information holding section 14 shown in FIG. The representative kanji dictionary has a matrix in which representative kanji are arranged on the coordinate axes of voice initials and shunmo, as shown in FIG. 1, in a form corresponding to the unique readings of each region. Using this matrix, instead of inputting kanji using the combination of keys corresponding to the initials and keys corresponding to the initials as described above, the operator inputs the kanji while looking at the kanji displayed on the display 2. can be entered. That is, the entire matrix as shown in FIG. 1 is displayed on the display 2, and the operator, while looking at the display of the matrix,
For example, the position of the kanji character "ro" is indicated with the light ben 17. By doing this, the reading processing unit 3 shown in FIG. It is determined that the combination with wllLW is wllLW.Therefore, when trying to input in the form of the external supplementary reading described above, the combination of "RouteC#t ＞""fr select and "口(kou)J
After selecting k, operate the above-described conversion key 20. In addition, in the case of this input method, the desired kanji "ro" is directly indicated, but it is not possible to directly point to the kanji "ro" within the input system, and the parent reading is "lu". , ' or external supplementary reading is ' 1lukos ' , '
1uthi' and ``ljxga''.

Hereinafter, the mode of inputting Chinese kanji characters in one embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIGS. 5 to 10.

(1) Figure 5 is read to input “city” ISA S
This shows a state in which M is input and the non-external conversion key 19 is operated. There are many characters whose reading is "sht", but in the case shown, "shi" happens to be displayed. However, in this case, the number of homonyms that exist is displayed numerically within the cursor 21.

(2) Figure 6 shows the kanji ``tada'' in the parent reading.'' 2
hi'' is input and the conversion key 19 is operated. In the illustrated case, it can be seen from the display inside the cursor 21 that there are 20 homonyms.

Then, by repeatedly operating the conversion key 19,
Eventually, the desired kanji ``tada'' will be displayed.
