Abstract

PURPOSE:To change the font of agates through easy operation and facilitate display and correction by displaying agates of the 1st font when a conversion key is operated once or agates of the 2nd font when twice together with a KANJI (Chinese character) and KANA (Japanese syllabary) mixed writing. CONSTITUTION:When an agate specifying key and a HIRAGANA (cursive form of KANA) are depressed so as to display agates in HIRAGANA, a HIRAGANA mode is entered, so a HIRAGANA input character string is displayed on a screen, and when a KANJI conversion key is depressed, a flag HFG is reset by deciding on the kind of the font of input characters. Consequently, a HIRAGANA agate conversion part 15 is started by an agate generating part 12 and HIRAGANA agates specified with a font specifying key are displayed on the screen together with the KANJI and KANA mixed writing. At this time, flags HFG and KFG are inverted to ''1'', so a KATAKANA-agate conversion part 16 is actuated when the KANJI conversion key is depressed again, so that KATAKANA agates are displayed on the screen.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (A) Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a document creation device equipped with a kanji conversion function such as a Japanese word processor, and relates to an automatic ruby display method for automatically displaying the ruby of kanji. .

(b) Prior Art As disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 59-27338, the input means of a conventional document creation device is provided with a ruby specification key for specifying ruby display, and after operating this ruby specification key, Technology has already been released that displays the ruby text along with the converted kanji-containing text by inputting a character string in hiragana or katakana according to the pronunciation of the kanji-containing sentence and then operating the kanji conversion key.

However, there are two types of ruby characters: hiragana and katakana, so if you want to actually achieve automatic ruby display like this, you need to determine the ruby character type to be displayed in some way. Must be.

Therefore, before inputting the reading of a sentence containing kanji, specify the character type corresponding to the ruby character type to be displayed by using the character type specification key of the hiragana key or katakana key that specifies the character type of the input character. By operating the keys,
One possible method is to specify the ruby character type. However, if you simply adopt this method, if you make a mistake in specifying the ruby character type and convert it to kanji, you will not have to specify the correct character type, input the reading again, and perform kanji conversion. Otherwise, the operation becomes extremely troublesome.

(C) Purpose of the Invention The present invention aims to make it possible to change the ruby character type with a very simple key operation, and to facilitate the modification operation of the ruby display.

B) Structure of the Invention The present invention provides an input means for inputting the reading of a Japanese sentence, a kanji conversion means for converting a character string inputted from the input means into a sentence containing kanji in accordance with the operation of a conversion key, and a kanji conversion means for inputting the reading of a Japanese sentence. ruby creation means for creating hiragana and katakana ruby corresponding to the kanji in the kanji-mixed sentence, and the input means includes a ruby specification key for specifying ruby display, and a plurality of ruby specifying keys for specifying the character type of input characters. In a document creation device having a character type specification key, when the ruby specification key is operated, when the conversion key is operated for the first time, the hiragana or character type specified by the character type specification key is input before inputting the reading. The ruby of a first katakana character type is displayed together with the kanji-mixed sentence, and when the conversion key is operated a second time, the ruby of a second katakana or hiragana character type different from the first character type is displayed. It is composed of

(e) Embodiment FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a document creation device to which an embodiment of the present invention is applied. A ruby specification key to specify input characters, and a hiragana key, katakana key, and alphanumeric key to specify the input character type to hiragana, katakana, or romaji.

6) is a position register that stores the first character position of the input character string, (7) is a character type register that maintains the character type status specified by the character type specification key, (8) is a control unit, and (9) is a An intermediate code converter (b) that converts an input string into an intermediate code string, a kanji converter (b) that converts the intermediate code string into a sentence containing kanji, and hiragana and katakana that correspond to the kanji in the kanji-mixed sentence. The ruby creation section (
2) Character conversion part consisting of, (to) character conversion part (9)
Various information necessary for conversion, i.e. kanji code,
This is a dictionary section that includes reading headings, part-of-speech information, connectivity information between words, conversion tables between each character type, etc.

The ruby creation unit (2) includes an intermediate code ruby creation unit (b) that creates intermediate code ruby corresponding to the kanji in a sentence containing kanji, and a hiragana ruby conversion unit that converts the intermediate code ruby into hiragana ruby and katakana ruby, respectively. (G) and a Katakana Bi conversion unit (2), and
The control unit (9) includes a ruby display specification flag RFG that specifies ruby display, a ruby character type specification flag HFG that specifies the ruby character type, and a flag KFG that indicates the number of presses of the kanji conversion key when specifying the ruby display. It is equipped with In addition, the character type register (
7) indicates the character types of hiragana, katakana, and romaji when the contents are "00", "01", and "10", respectively.

Therefore, the processing of this embodiment will be explained with reference to the flowchart in FIG. 2 and the display example in FIG. 3.

First, at initialization, the flag RFG is set to "0" and the character type register (7) is set to a predetermined initial value, but in order to specify the character type of the input character, the katakana key or hiragana key is pressed. When pressed, the character type register (
7) The content REG is set to "01" or [oojK, and the mode becomes Katakana or Hiragana input mode. Next, when you press the character key and input the pronunciation of the Japanese sentence you want to convert, in the katakana input mode, the katakana input characters are transferred to the input string buffer (5) as shown in Figure 4 (6). ), and the display control unit (3
), and the katakana input character string is displayed on the screen of the CRT display (2) as shown in FIG. 3(a). Of course, in the hiragana input mode, the hiragana input character string is displayed on the screen.

Then, when you press the kanji conversion key after inputting all the readings, the input string stored in the input string buffer (5) is sent to the character conversion section (9), and first, the input string is sent to the intermediate code conversion section (transformation section). ) is converted into an intermediate code string, and the conversion result is stored in the buffer α'71 as shown in FIG. 4(b). However, in FIG. 4, the characters inside <> indicate intermediate codes. Next, the converted intermediate code string is passed through the Kanji conversion section (
In (b), the text is converted into a sentence containing kanji, and the conversion result is stored in a buffer (g) as shown in FIG. 4 (c) and K. In this case, if a homophone exists, all candidates are stored in the buffer (to), and a sentence containing kanji containing the first candidate kanji is initially written to the buffer (to). The thus converted sentence containing kanji is written in the text memo 1 (4), and is displayed on the screen of the CRT display (2) in place of the input character string. In this case, the flag KFG remains reset during kanji conversion, so the next time the kanji conversion key is pressed, homophone selection processing begins, and the kanji-mixed sentence containing the next candidate kanji is sent to the buffer (until the ) and displayed on the screen.

The above is the operation when ruby display is not specified, but when the operator presses the ruby designation key to specify automatic ruby display, flag RFG is set and automatic ruby display mode is entered. At this time, if you are trying to display katakana ruby and press the katakana key before inputting the reading of the Japanese sentence you are trying to convert, the display as shown in Figure (a) will be displayed as in normal mode. . At this time, the addresses TXS and TYS on the text memory (4) of the first character "chi" of the input character string are stored in the position register (6). However, when you press the kanji conversion key after inputting all the readings, the flag RFG = 1, so check the content REG of the character type register (7), or
By checking the character code of the input character string buffer (5), the character type of the input character specified by the character type designation key is determined, and when the katakana input mode is selected, a flag HFG is set. For this reason, the character conversion section (9
), after converting the katakana input character string into a sentence containing kanji, start the ruby creation unit (2), and first, in the intermediate code ruby creation unit α station, the intermediate code character string stored in the buffer αη and the kanji conversion result are Based on this, the intermediate code ruby corresponding to the kanji in the kanji-containing sentence is created on the buffer screen as shown in Figure 4). Then, depending on the contents of the 7-lag HFG, hiragana ruby or katakana ruby is created. In this case, since the flag HFG=1, the Katakana Ruby converter (2) is activated, the intermediate code ruby is converted to Katakana Ruby, and as shown in FIG. Sent to (3).

The display control unit (3) inputs the text memory (4) address (TXS
, TYS), write the created kanji mixed sentences in order, and write the text memory (4) addresses (TxS, T
By writing the created katakana bi in order from YS-1), the katakana bi is displayed on the screen along with the sentence containing kanji and on the line above the sentence containing kanji, as shown in FIG. 3(b).

However, after the ruby is created, flags HFG and KFG are inverted, so flag KFG = 1.7 lag HF.
G=O, therefore, when the kanji conversion key is pressed again after displaying the katakana ruby, it does not enter the homophone selection process, but enters the ruby conversion process again, and this time the flag HFG=O, so the hiragana ruby converter (g) is activated, a hiragana ruby is created from the intermediate code in the buffer eA1) as shown in FIG. 4 (f), and this hiragana ruby is sent to the display control unit (3). And display control section (3)
Now, instead of katakana ruby, hiragana ruby is written in order from addresses (TXS, TMS-1) in the text memory (4), and hiragana ruby is displayed as shown in FIG. 3(c).

Next, a case will be described in which the ruby designation key and the hiragana key are pressed to display hiragana ruby.

In this case, the input mode is hiragana mode, so the hiragana input character string "Kanjihenganha" is displayed on the screen, and when the kanji conversion key is pressed, the flag HFG is set according to the character type of the input character. will be reset. For this reason, the hiragana ruby converter (g) is activated in the ruby creation unit (2), and on the screen, as shown in Figure 3 (c), the ruby hiragana character type specified by the character type designation key is changed to a kanji character. Displayed with mixed sentences. At this time, each flag is )IF
G=1°KFG=1, so when the kanji conversion key is pressed again, the katakana bi conversion section (2) is activated and the katakana bi conversion section (2) is displayed on the screen as shown in Figure 3 (b). is displayed.

In this way, according to the first operation of the kanji conversion key, the ruby of the character type specified by the character type specification key is displayed together with the kanji-mixed text, and when the second operation is performed, the ruby of a different character type is displayed. Is displayed.

Also, after the ruby character types for both hiragana and katakana are displayed, if you press the kanji conversion key again, the flag KF
Since G is always in the reset state, it enters the homophone selection process and creates a kanji-mixed sentence containing the next candidate kanji in the buffer (g). Then, in the same manner, the converted kanji-mixed sentence and the corresponding katakana or hiragana ruby are displayed, and when the kanji conversion key is subsequently pressed, the hiragana or katakana ruby is displayed. Thereafter, similar processing is performed for all candidates. When a funky key other than the ruby designation key, kanji conversion key, or character type designation key is pressed, the designation of ruby display is canceled.

By the way, if you input the reading by pressing an alphanumeric key, the input character string buffer (5) will contain the Roman character string rKAN.
JIHENKANNH人'' is input, and this Roman character input character string is displayed on the screen, but when you press the Kanji conversion key in the ruby display specification mode, in this example, the flag H
I am trying to reset the FG. Therefore, in this case, hiragana ruby is displayed first along with a sentence containing kanji, and when the kanji conversion key is pressed again, katakana ruby is displayed.

(f) Effects of the Invention The automatic ruby display method according to the present invention displays the ruby character type specified by pressing the conversion key once, K when the eyes are operated, and the character type specification key together with a sentence containing kanji, and When you operate for the second time, a ruby character type that is different from the first displayed character type is displayed, so you can change the ruby character type with a very simple key operation, and therefore, you can modify the ruby display. Easy to operate.
