Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain quick correction of homonyms at a converted part by storing the dictionaries used when the KANA(Japanese syllabary)/KANJI(Chinese character) conversion is performed for a paragraph including KANJI undergone the KANA/KANJI conversion for each KANA/KANJI conversion part. CONSTITUTION:The KANA characters supplied from a keyboard 1 or a collective selection KANA buffer 9 are applied to a KANA buffer 2 and stored there temporarily. The KANA sentences are supplied to a KANA/KANJI conversion processing circuit 3 from the buffer 2. Then the corresponding sentences including KANJI are detected out of dictionaries 3a and 3b, and the result of conversion is transferred to a result buffer 6. Whether the normal dictionary 3a or the dictionary 3b for names of persons and places is used for KANA/KANJI conversion is stored to a buffer 4 by the flag information. Another buffer 5 stores the number of homonyms, i.e., the number of candidates at each conversion part into a sentence including KANJI.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Technical Field The present invention relates to a kana-kanji conversion input method for a document processing device called a so-called Japanese word processor. Regarding the method to be used.

Background Art In conventional document processing methods, kana is input for each clause and word, kanji corresponding to the kana is searched from multiple dictionaries, converted and input, and then converted into kanji for each clause and word. After inputting the part, the system searches multiple dictionaries again to find homophones. In such prior art, when correcting converted kanji for each clause and word, it is necessary to search for which dictionary the kanji conversion part to be corrected was converted based on, and for this search, A lot of time? In need of.

Purpose The purpose of the present invention is to make it possible to correct homonyms in a part that has been once converted into kanji without having to search from the beginning of the dictionary used at the time of conversion.The operation time can be shortened. The purpose is to provide a full range of Kana-Kanji conversion input methods for document processing devices.

Embodiment FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. Keyboard 1 has a kana key 1a for performing kana game input operations.
, a mode switching key 1b, a primary candidate key 1c, a cancel key 1d, a search key 1e, and a cursor key 1f. Mode switching keys 1L+1I-j: When converting kana-kanji, there is a sequential selection mode, in which each phrase or phrase is converted into a single kanji sentence each time you input it, and a batch selection mode, in which multiple phrases or phrases are converted into a single sentence. It is operated to switch all the operation modes between a mode in which all the kana-kanji are temporarily converted and then each clause or phrase is converted into a desired sentence mixed with kanji and corrected.

The next candidate key 1c is operated to read out the next candidate for homophones for each clause or phrase. Cancel key 1d,
A sentence mixed with kanji that has been converted once can be manipulated to return it to its original kana sentence.

The search key 1e is operated in order to instruct to input a predetermined crane clause or phrase in the batch selection mode and then reconvert it into a desired kanji-like sentence and correct it.
Ru. [Cursor key] Use the cursor key to move the cursor mark that indicates the direction of entry. Search key 1
By operating e'(r-, the homonym clause or h word is automatically searched for, and the cursor is brought to the kanji-mixed sentence.

The keyboard 1 also has a conversion key 1gk that is used to divide the phrase into a phrase or phrase and convert it into a sentence containing kanji.

The kana buffer 2 is given an input kana sentence or a kana sentence from a batch selection kana buffer 9, which will be described later, and is temporarily stored therein. The kana-kanji conversion processing circuit 3 includes a dictionary 3a for converting all normal phrases or phrases into kana-kanji, and a dictionary 3b for converting names of people, place names, etc. into kana-kanji (
! : A kana sentence from the kana buffer 2 is supplied, the corresponding sentence with kanji is searched from the dictionaries 3a and 3b, and the conversion result is transferred to the result buffer 6. Was the kana-kanji conversion performed using a regular dictionary 3ak?
Alternatively, in order to be able to identify whether kana-kanji conversion has been performed using the person name and place name dictionary 3b',
Flag information representing the dictionary used among the dictionaries 3a and 3b is stored in the buffer 4. Another buffer 5 stores the number of homonym words, ie, the number of candidates, of the portion converted into each kanji-mixed sentence. The kana-kanji-converted kanji-mixed sentence stored in the result buffer 6 is visually displayed by display means 1 implemented by a cathode ray tube or the like. The sentence buffer 10t stores the sentences mixed with kanji that have been converted into kana-kanji, and also stores separators (as shown in Figure 2 below) before and after each clause or phrase when there are multiple homonyms in the batch selection mode. 10a.

10b, Inc).

The signals from buffers 4 and 5.6 and the signal from batch selection buffer 9 are given to insertion buffer 8 from pattern selection control circuit 7, and are stored in text buffer 10 for insertion. The output Ii1 from the kana buffer 2 and the text buffer 10 can be displayed by the display means 11.

FIG. 2 shows the contents stored in the text buffer 10.

Sentences that have been converted into kana-kanji and include clauses or phrases ending with adjectives or particles are stored in this sentence buffer 10. Bunsetsu or "n jun ni ni t" 1 normal selection start separator 10a 1 person name selection start separator 10b and selection end separator 10c are automatically stored in n9. These separators 10a, 10b, 10c are 1
It is not displayed by the display means 11. Each separator 1
In relation to 0a and 10b, the number 1 (ld, 10e) indicates the number of the separator from the beginning of the sentence.

], Of are also stored.

The storage status of the buffer 9 for batch selection is as shown in FIG. This batch selection kana buffer 9 stores kana that has been converted to kana-kanji.

Kanani 1 number stored here] 0d, 1Oe,

Referring to FIG. 4A, in step n1.

By operating the mode switching key 1 Mr., the mode becomes the batch selection mode in step n3, and the mode switching key 1 becomes the batch selection mode.
If b is not operated, batch selection mode will not be activated.
As in the conventional system, a successive selection mode is carried out in which each time a kana character of a phrase or phrase is input, it is activated one time and the character is successively converted to the correct kanji.

Referring to FIG. 4B, when the -pattern selection operation mode is selected in step m1, a key input standby state is entered in step m3, and it is determined which key has been input in step m4. In m2, -
When pattern selection mode key 1b is not operated, input while performing sequential kana-kanji conversion as described above? do.

When the kana key 18 is operated in step m4, the process moves to the operation shown in FIG. 4c. In the fourth step C1, the process moves from step sl to step S2, and a kana character string is input for each clause or phrase. In step s3, t converts the inputted kanaji tatami 3a and 3b into a sentence mixed with kanji. In step S4, it is determined whether or not there are homonymous phrases or phrases in the dictionaries 3a and 3b.
If there is no ancestral candidate, the process moves to step s6.

Waits for the next key input. When there is a kana input using the kana key 1a in step S6, in step s7, separators 10a and 10b are placed in front of the kana-kanji conversion result, the result is transferred to the text buffer 1o and stored, and after this kana-kanji converted part, a (! /< rate 10c'z
attach For example, in the example shown in @2, when "Sosano" is stored in the character buffer 1o, a separator 10a is placed in front of it and a separator 10c is stored after it.

The separator 10a, Inc. differs depending on the type of dictionary 3a, 3b.2 The separator 10a is used corresponding to the word 4' 3a used for normal conversion, and the dictionary 3b for personal names, place names, etc. The separator 10b is used correspondingly.

In step s8, the number of sentences stored in the separators 10a, 10b or the sentence buffer 10 is counted. The analogy is separator 1 (la
The separator 10b is the first, and the separator 10b is the second. In step s9, the Gana character examples of the converted kana-kanji characters are stored and inserted into the batch selection Kanahatsufa 9 in the order counted in step s8.

When the primary candidate key 1C is operated in step s6, in step s10, the phrase or phrase inputted in kana is converted into another kanji or phrase with the same meaning. step s
In lo, phrases containing this kanji are displayed,
In step s12, the key input wait 4'r'i'(
r-Do. When the next candidate key 1c is operated in step s12, the process moves to step s10, and the kana key 1c is operated again.
When a is operated, the process moves to step s5. In step s4, if there are no other homonymous clauses or phrases, the process moves to step s5, where the sentence containing kanji is transferred to the text buffer 10 and stored.

When you operate n! in Figure 4D. One work will be done. When the sentence buffer 10 stores a kanji kanji sentence as shown in FIG.
1 to r2, the leading separator 10a'(r' is searched in the 1-sentence buffer 10. If it is determined in step r3 that the leading separator 10alA does not exist, the operation completes from step r3. When detected, the cursor is moved to the position of the kanji-mixed phrase "Sosano" on both sides of the display means 11 in step r4.

The clause or phrase "Sosano" which is a kanji character that has been passed around by the separators 10a and 10c is removed from the sentence buffer 10. So in step r6.

Ordinary dictionary 3 represented by separate lake 10a
Specify ai. 1- in step r7, separator 10a
, 1llck is removed from the text buffer 10. In step 8, the first kana "Sosano" is taken out from the -pattern selection kana buffer 9. In step r9, the retrieved kana "Sosano" is stored in the kana-kanji conversion kana buffer 2. In step r10, by operating the conversion key 1g, the dictionary 3a ((using other kanji, phrases, fc) is converted into words. In step rll, the conversion result is displayed on the display means]1. It enters a waiting state for input.When the primary candidate key ]C is operated in step r14, the process moves to step r15, and the input key is pressed.
It is converted into a phrase or phrase containing other homonymous kanji characters stored in 173a, and the process moves to step rll. In this way, once a plurality of sentences 11 and phrases are stored, it is possible to later correct any sentence fI18 or phrase fI51. Cancellation key 1d is JI'i1
When created, when operated in step r14,
In step r12, instead of displaying the sentence containing # characters, the display means 11 displays the kana character string stored in the batch selection kana buffer 9.

When the search key 1e is operated in step r14, in step r101, all the CJ words and phrases including Japanese and Japanese characters are stored in the reed buffer 10.

In step r17, delete the kana "Sosano" at the beginning of the pattern selection kana buffer 9 and clear the contents of the kana buffer 2.0Then, proceed to step r2 and delete the contents stored in the cultural revolution buffer 10. The separator is searched for from the beginning, and then the separator 10b is detected as the beginning.

When the cancel key 1d is operated in step m4 of FIG.
It is determined whether the selected end separator 10c is between the end separator 10c and the end separator 10c. step m7
Then, it is determined at which kana-kanji conversion part the cursor of the stored contents in the one-sentence buffer 10 is located.

For example, assume that the cursor is located at the j-th kana-kanji conversion section. In step m8, the third kana character string in the -pattern selection kana buffer 9 is taken out. In step m9, all the kana character strings that have been extracted from the kana buffer 9 are stored in the kana-kanji conversion kana buffer 2. In step m10, the entire %jth kana character string in the - pattern selection kana buffer 9 is deleted. In step mll, the character string 1-t, which is 41 times wide between the separator 10a or 1°b at the cursor position and the separator 10c, is deleted. Step m 12 f ij
.

The separators 10al and 10b and Inc are deleted from the text buffer 10. In step m13.

Kana-Kanji conversion Kana buffer Displays 2 kana.

In this way, a clause or phrase containing only a single kanji character can be converted back to its original form. Kana-Kanji Conversion You can correct a kana character string in the kana buffer 2, perform kana-kanji conversion, and select by t<1+I. When the kanji 'SF＜ ends.

The contents of the conversion result buffer 6 are stored in the text buffer 10, and the contents of the kana a-character conversion kana buffer 2 are cleared.

In addition, by operating the search key multiple times, the cursor can be moved to the desired kana-kanji conversion section, skipping over the kana-kanji conversion section that does not need to be edited, and the homonym kana-kanji conversion can be performed.

Effects As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible not only to correct a sentence that has been converted into kana-kanji, but also to correct a sentence that includes a phrase that spans a clause with a number of kanji mixed in, after the sentence has been input.
The δY”i',!, used during the kana-kanji conversion of the phrase that spans a clause containing kanji that has been converted to kana-kanji is stored for each kana-kanji conversion part.

Therefore, the time required to search for homophones is reduced. Therefore, by inputting kana, you can quickly input phrases containing kanji or Iri words, and once you have input the text, you can easily and quickly correct such kana-kanji conversion parts. There is no need to strain to look at the screen of the display means to ensure that the correct kanji is input each time a phrase or word is input, as is the case in the past, and operator fatigue is reduced. In this way, when the kanji in the kana-kanji conversion part is not the desired one, -1 only that part can be corrected again after inputting the text. As for the time required for the correction, since the dictionary used for the kana-kanji conversion portion containing the kanji to be corrected is identified, the next candidate for the homophone can be quickly counted.
