Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve a using procedure sequentially by storing the corrected contents of results obtained by converting ''kana'' (Japanese syllabary) into ''kanji'' (Chinese character) by an operator. CONSTITUTION:For instance, an operator inputs ''haikei kisha masumasu goseiei no koto to'' (starting words of a letter, provided that is a space) and then depresses a conversion key. Consequently, display as shown in the figure A is outputted and a cursor K indicating an input position indicates the 17th character. If the display of ''HAIKEI'' (dear sir) is not satisfied, the cursor K is backed to the 3rd column and then a display correction key is depressed. Consequently, the display of ''HAIKEI'' (dear sir) is converted into ''kana'' by a conversion dictionary storage part (figure C). The status (''kanji'' display or ''kana'' display) of the display correction key set up by said operation can be used as a display correction mode specifying key for specifying whether the status of the display correction key is used as temporary memory in the documentation or parmanent memory to be used for another documentation to be executed successively.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Technical Field The present invention relates to a document creation device, and particularly to a document creation device that outputs the modified content when the same input is received again when a sentence containing Kanji and Kana obtained through kana-kanji conversion processing is modified. The present invention relates to a document creation device that is easy to use.

Conventional technology Conventional document creation devices using the kana-kanji conversion method have either set standards for the types of kanji to be displayed and changed the standards depending on the purpose, or have output orders for kanji and words according to field. Devices with added features such as "I" are known.

However, in the former, the type of characters is fixed depending on the level, so there is a problem that it cannot be flexibly adapted to the user's preference.In the latter, although the degree of freedom is greater than the former, the solid input method (input In cases where the conversion is almost automatic, such as in the case of a method in which one sentence is input continuously without dividing it into words or clauses, etc., it is difficult to obtain a conversion result that the operator likes. There was a demand for a document creation device with further improved usability.

Purpose The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to create a document that makes it possible to successively improve usability by storing the contents of the operator's corrections to the kana-kanji conversion results. The goal is to provide equipment.

composition Hereinafter, the configuration of the present invention will be explained using examples.

FIG. 1G is a block diagram of a document creation device that is an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is an input section, 2 is an input preprocessing section, 3 is a candidate extraction section, 5 is an output control section, 6 is a display section, and 7 is a conversion control section.

When a Japanese imperial edict is input as, for example, a kana sentence, it is outputted as a sentence containing kanji and kana through the following processing under the control of the conversion control section 7. In FIG. 1, thick white line arrows indicate the flow of data to be handled, and solid line arrows indicate the flow of control signals.

The input preprocessing unit 2 recognizes the type of input character string (alphanumeric characters, symbols, kanakana, hiragana 1 delimiter, etc.) and the operation of the control keys, and extracts a kana character string to be converted.

The candidate extracting section 3 is configured to include a candidate extracting control section 3 as shown in Fig. 2.
1. Candidate word string storage unit 32. It is composed of a dictionary search section 33 and a conversion dictionary storage section 34, and the input preprocessing section 2
The kana character string extracted in is received via the conversion control section 7, and conversion candidates corresponding to the character string are extracted with reference to the conversion dictionary and stored in the -wand candidate word string storage section 32. These operations are performed by the candidate extraction control section 3 under the control of the conversion control section 7.
1.

As shown in FIG. 3, the conversion information management section 4 is composed of a conversion information management control section 41 and a conversion dictionary storage section 2.
The conversion dictionary storage unit 34 is configured to be accessible via the conversion dictionary storage unit 34. The conversion information management unit 4 configured as described above has a function of accumulating and managing operator input information, conversion candidate information, and the like. FIG. 4 shows an example of the contents of the conversion dictionary storage section 4 described by Iz. The output control section 5 controls the display of the human character string and the converted character string on the display section 6- under the control of the conversion control section 7.

Here, when the operator operates a conversion key, which is one of the control keys, if there is a character string to be converted in the human character string W1, the candidate extraction section 3 extracts a conversion candidate, and the output control section 5 extracts a conversion candidate. Is displayed. If there are multiple conversion candidates for the input reading, under the control of the conversion control unit 7,
First, a first candidate likely to correspond to the reading is displayed. If the first candidate displayed is not the desired conversion character string, the operator can read it by operating the control key (for example, the next candidate key) to display the next candidate. Other corresponding conversion candidates can be displayed and selected.

The processing described below is the processing that was also performed in the conventional kana-kanji conversion processing, and the following are the processing that characterizes the device of this embodiment.

Figure 5 shows an example of the operation and display when creating a document by using the conversion information stored in the format shown in Figure @4 and returning to the previous conversion unit to modify the displayed content. It shows.

Incidentally, the contents of the conversion dictionary storage section 34 shown in FIG. 4 will be briefly explained. In the “Reading/(break)” column,
"Yomi" and "notation" corresponding to each character of the "yomi"
The "break" attribute is stored. Here, "cut"
The attribute is "notation", the first "yomi" of the first character is flag "l",
Other than that, a flag "0" is associated. Further, in the "Notation/(Character Type)" column, the "Character Type" attribute for displaying each "Notation" character is stored. This "character type" attribute is
Here, if you want to display the characters in "Notation" as is, use 7.
Lug r1. When changing the characters "j, r notation" to hiragana and displaying them, a flag "0" is associated, and this flag can be changed from "1" → rOJ or "0" → by using the notation correction key.
It is configured so that it can be changed to "1". By operating the notation modification key, the notation can be changed from kanji to hiragana or from hiragana to kanji.

Note that the "connecting parts of speech" column stores information for determining whether or not candidates can be connected and for limiting combinations of word strings. In the "Selection order" column, there are different "notations" for the same "reading".
If there is, information representing the ranking of candidates to be taken up is stored.

The functions and processing flow of this embodiment will be explained below with reference to FIG.

In the document creation mode generally known when using a Japanese word processor, it is assumed that nothing is entered on the display screen at first. Here, it is assumed that the operator inputs the following input using the solid writing input method described above.

"Hai Ii △ Kishiyama Masugosei Ei no Toto" However, △ represents a blank space.

By inputting in this way and pressing the conversion key, the device performs kana-kanji conversion processing and displays, for example, as shown in Figure 5 (5), with the cursor indicating the input position showing the first
Points to the 17th character on the line. Note that the arrows A, A3, and A3 are shown at the bottom of the conversion result. . . . indicates a break in the word string that is processed within the device during conversion.

Here, if the operator does not like the notation of "Dear Sir," the operator moves cursor K back to the third column (see Figure 5 (B)).
, press the notation correction key. As a result, the flag indicating the "character type" attribute in the "notation/(character type)" column in the conversion dictionary storage section 34 is changed from Ill to "O", and accordingly, the display of "Dear sir" is changed as shown in FIG. As shown in (C), it is changed to hiragana.

In this state, if you change the line using the line feed key and enter the same input again, you will get a conversion result in which ``Dear Sir'' is written in hiragana, as shown in FIG. 5U. Also, if the cursor K is returned to the fifth column and the notation correction key is operated, the "character type" attribute in the conversion word west storage section 34 is changed, and the 51st
However, as shown in ), "Haikei" can be changed to the conversion result of Kanji notation.

In the above action, "Dear sir" is not written in hiragana,
Needless to say, when changing to another kanji notation, it is possible to change it to, for example, "background" by pressing the next candidate key.

Also, the state of the notation correction key set in the above operation (
Either kanji or hiragana) is a notation used to specify whether it is to be stored temporarily while creating the document, or permanently stored for use in future creation of other documents. A correction mode designation key may also be provided. In the case of temporary storage, the correction information is only written to a dictionary (temporary dictionary) that stores pronunciations and conversion candidate words used during document creation, and the conversion dictionary itself is not updated.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6, a portion where the notation of the conversion candidate word on the display image [lJ1 is different from the notation set in advance by the device may be displayed separately from other portions.

In the example shown in Figure 6, this applies to the part ``Keikei'', so the arrow is displayed differently from the others. It goes without saying that it may be displayed using the following method. Further, a switch may be provided so that such a display is performed as necessary.

In the second embodiment, an example was shown in which kanji notation was changed to hiragana notation and hiragana notation to kanji notation by repeatedly pressing the notation correction key. It goes without saying that the key, that is, the key for changing the notation preset in the device to the notation W, and the key for returning it to its original state may be used.

When using the latter key described above, by positioning the cursor at a word break and pressing this key, it is easy to clear the modified content and display the notation preset in the device.

FIG. 7 shows an overall processing flowchart of the document creation operation on the main part side.

Effects As described above, according to the present invention, since the details of the operator's corrections to the kana-kanji conversion results are stored, a remarkable effect is achieved in that it is possible to realize a document creation device whose usability can be successively improved. .
