Abstract

PURPOSE:To utilize a dictionary not only in KANJI (Chinese character) conversion, but also in data processing by providing a command for accessing the dictionary and a dictionary access command control part which executes the command. CONSTITUTION:An application program 2 sets up a storage area 12 for the Japanese rendering of a KANA (Japanese syllabary) code, a word, or KANJI, specifies the word or KANJI upon occasion, and generates a read command. The dictionary access command control part 11 stores the Japanese rendering of the KANA code in a buffer 6 for KANA, and a dictionary access control part 4 fetches the Japanese rendering of the KANA code from the buffer 6. The word or KANJI corresponding to the KANA code is read out of the dictionary 7 and stored in a buffer 3 for KANJI, and the control is returned to the command control part 11 to set the starting KANJI code of the word or KANJI from the buffer 3 in said storage area 12 for the word or KANJI which is specified by the application program 2.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention provides a computer system having a kana-kanji conversion function with a command for accessing a dictionary and a dictionary access/command control section for executing the command. KL also has two buttons regarding how to access the dictionary so that you can use the dictionary.

[Prior art and problems]

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a conventional example of a computer system having a kana-kanji conversion function. In FIG. 1, 1 is the computer main body, 2 is an application program, 3 is a kanji buffer, 4 is a dictionary access control unit, 5 is a temporary kanji conversion control unit, 6 is a temporary buffer, 7 is a dictionary, 8 is a display device, 9 is the kanji input area,
Reference numeral 10 indicates a keyboard. A kanji buffer 3 stores words or kanji corresponding to the reading of the kana code, and a kana buffer 6 stores the kana code. The kanji input area 9 is a kanji input area on the display screen of the 1 display device 8. The flow of control will be explained step by step below.

First, a Shikana code is input by the operator's operation on the keyboard IO (dotted line ■). The kana-kanji conversion control unit 5 stores the kana code inputted by the operator in the kana buffer 6 (dotted line ■), and when a conversion key such as an open-note conversion key is specified, the kana-kanji conversion is performed. The control unit 5 specifies, to the dictionary access control unit 4, a read from the word or kanji dictionary 7 for the reading of the kana code stored in the kana buffer (dotted line ■). Fetch the reading of the kana code from the reading buffer 6, read the word or kanji corresponding to the reading with the dotted line O and ■), store the kanji code of the read word or kanji in the kanji buffer 3 with the dotted line [F]), The control is returned to the kana-kanji conversion control unit 5 (dotted line ■), and the kana-kanji conversion control unit 5 fetches the kanji code of the word or kanji from the kanji buffer 3 and displays it in the kanji input area ■ of the display screen (dotted line ■). Dotted line ■).

Conventionally, kana-kanji conversion is an offline operation, and the kana-kanji conversion control unit 5 corresponds to the kana-kanji conversion control unit 5, which corresponds to the reading of the kana code input from the operator's keyboard 10. It performs the function of displaying words or kanji on the display device 8.

The application program 2 did not have a route to access the dictionary 7, and was used only for the digit/kana/kanji conversion function of the dictionary 7.

[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention is based on the above considerations, and provides a dictionary access method that allows the dictionary to be used not only when performing kana-kanji conversion through keyboard operations by an operator, but also during data processing. The purpose is to

[Structure of the invention]

To this end, the dictionary access method of the present invention includes a kana buffer that stores kana codes, a kanji buffer that stores kanji codes, a dictionary that has the kanji code of the word or kanji that corresponds to the reading of the kana code, and the above-mentioned kana buffer. Dictionary access control that fetches the kana code stored in the Kanji buffer, reads the Kanji code of the word or Kanji corresponding to the pronunciation of the Kana code from the dictionary, and stores the read Kanji code in the Kanji buffer. The kana code is stored in the kana buffer according to the keyboard operation, and then the dictionary access control unit stores the kanji code of the word or kanji corresponding to the reading of the kana code. is read from the dictionary and stored in the kanji buffer 3, a kana-kanji conversion control unit and an application perform control such that the word or kanji of the stored kanji code is displayed in the kanji input area of the display device. In a computer system that has a program.

A dictionary access command for accessing a dictionary is provided for the application program, a dictionary access command control unit is provided for executing the dictionary access command, and the application program has a kana code and a word or kanji storage area. When a dictionary access command is issued by preparing a dictionary access command, the dictionary access command control section stores the kana code prepared by the application program in the kana buffer, and sends the kana code to the dictionary access control section. When the kanji code of a word or kanji corresponding to the code is read from the dictionary and stored in the kanji buffer, the controller is configured to set the stored kanji code in the word or kanji storage area. It is characterized by this.

[Embodiments of the invention]

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

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the system configuration of one embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 2, 1 to 8 and 10 indicate those corresponding to FIG. 1, and 11 is a dictionary access/command control unit;
12 indicates a word or kanji storage area.

The present invention provides a computer system having a kana-kanji conversion function with a command for accessing a dictionary and a dictionary access command control section that executes the command.
This example shows an embodiment of the present invention with respect to a system configuration that executes the function of storing a word or kanji corresponding to the reading of a code in a word or kanji storage area designated by an application program as a result of command execution. is shown in Figure 2. The flow of control will be described below in the case where a dictionary access command is issued and a dictionary is accessed in accordance with the order of dotted lines to black circles shown in FIG.

First, when the application program 2 requires the kanji code of a word or kanji that corresponds to a kana code.

Prepare the kana code reading, word or kanji storage area 12, and if you need the single @, use a word dictionary.

If kanji are required, a kanji dictionary is specified and a read command is issued (dotted line). When the read command is issued, the dictionary access command control unit 11
The reading of the kana code is stored in the kana buffer 6 (dotted line B), and the dictionary access control unit 4 stores the kana buffer 6.
This specifies that the word or kanji corresponding to the kana code reading stored in the dictionary is to be read from the dictionary 7 (dotted line ◎).This causes the dictionary access control unit 4 to fetch the kana code reading from the kana buffer 6. Dotted line ■), the corresponding word or kanji is read from the specified dictionary 7. Dotted line ■), the kanji code of the read word or kanji is stored in the kanji buffer 3. Dotted line [F]), controlled dictionary access -Return to command control unit 11 (dotted line ◎). The dictionary access command control unit 11 sets the first kanji code of the word or kanji stored in the kanji buffer 3 to the word or kanji storage area 12 designated by the application program 2.

End the read command (dotted lines ■ and ■). According to the above control flow, the application program 2 can obtain the Kanji code of a word or Kanji corresponding to the reading of the Kana code.

In addition to the read command, dictionary access commands include a read next command, a read back command, and the like.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, it is possible for an application program to access a dictionary at any time by issuing a dictionary access command not only during kana-kanji conversion but also during data processing. It can be used effectively.
