PURPOSE:To reduce relatively the number of display Kanjis (Chinese characters) to retrieve an objective Kanji quickly by making it possible that an operator selects whether Kanjis with Okurigana (Japanese syllabary added to Kanji to show its Japanese declension) are retrieved and displayed. CONSTITUTION:A character processing device is provided with a CPU which controls the whole of individual constituting elements, and the CPU consists of an operating part MPU, an ROM, and an RAM. An input part KEY provided with a Kana (Japanese syllabary) input key group K1, a key K2 designating a Kanji without Okurigana, a key K3 designating a Kanji with Okurigana, a key K4 designating mixed Kanjis, and a Kanji key K5 is connected to this CPU. A fixed storage device M1 where character information corresponding to an input signal is preliminarily stored and a fixed storage device M2 where Kanji patterns are stored are connected to the CPU. Thus, the operator operates the input part KEY to select whether Kanjis with Okurigana are retrieved and displayed, and the number of Kanjis in fixed storage devices M1 and M2 is reduced relatively, and an objective Kanji is retrieved quickly and is displayed on a display part DIS.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Technical Field) The present invention relates to a character processing device, and is capable of specifying a special case, a type of kanji to be output and displayed during kanji conversion.

(Prior art) Enter the reading of a character in kana or romaji, and search for kanji with the same reading as the input reading, or kanji starting with the input reading, from the writing section (output section such as a 3RT display). In these conventional devices, the number of kanji to be searched is reduced when searching for and outputting only characters that have the exact same reading as the input character. Therefore, it is relatively convenient for the operator (user) to search for the desired kanji, but when it comes to kanji with okrikana, it is usually difficult for the operator to input the okrikana correctly. Therefore, in addition to outputting and displaying kanji with the same reading as the input kanji, a common method is to output and display kanji that start with the same reading as the input kanji at the same time and are accompanied by okurigana. However, while this method makes it easy to search even if the pronunciation of the kanji okurikana is inaccurate, it greatly increases the number of kanji output, making it difficult for the operator to The drawback was that it took time to search for the kanji.

(Purpose) Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and to enable the operator to select whether or not to display the search for okurikana. quickly
An object of the present invention is to provide a character processing device that can be searched.

(Example) Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an example of the configuration of the character processing device of the present invention, where (jPU is a central processing unit that controls each component as a whole; for example, a calculation unit MPU is included in a one-chip LSI).
, a control section, a two-only memory (ROM) and a random access memory (RAM) for storing the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 3 and ψ.

K/-Kj are various keys (KEY) for inputting character data and control instruction data to the central processing unit CPU;
K/iJ: ? ? Entering the reading of the letter i 1 A group of kana human power keys consisting of 3θ sound keys such as Aiueo J, K, 2
is an output range specification key that instructs to output only kanji that are exactly the same as the reading of the kanji you input, or kanji that start with the reading of the kanji you input but are not accompanied by kurikana or rikana. The kanji designation key is an output range designation key that instructs to output only kanji that have a kana or kana character designation key. Sara KK
4'il: Mixed kanji specification key, which is an output range specification key that instructs to output all kanji according to the reading of the input kanji, regardless of the presence or absence of okurikana, K and t are the above specification keys. Kanji key (kana-kanji conversion key) that instructs to output kanji based on the reading of the kanji input from/to Kanajin Kaki-1st edition after specifying the output range with 2~tech (ge)
It is.

M/ is a kana person)! A first fixed storage device, M, 2F-j, in which kana characters 1 to 7, etc. corresponding to the key data inputted from / to '1' are stored in advance, A fixed storage device fPJ, 2 stores Kanji patterns corresponding to character information, and both fixed storage devices M/ and M, 2 are controlled by a central processing unit CPU to read out the stored contents. DR is a display driver that converts the output signal processed by the central processing unit CPU into a display drive signal, and DIS is a display driver that converts the output signal processed by the central processing unit CPU into a display drive signal, and DIS is the display drive signal example from the display driver DR. This is a display device that outputs and displays kanji etc. searched from /.

The above-mentioned central processing unit CPU controls each key of the input unit Y according to a control procedure stored in advance in its internal read-only memory (not shown) to control each component based on input signals from / to Kj. Control is performed to transfer the character information corresponding to the input signal from the fixed storage device M/, or to transfer the kanji pattern information corresponding to the character information to the fixed storage device M-.
The processed signals are then converted into display drive signals by the display driver DR, and the readings input to/from the Kana human power key group are output and displayed along with the kanji patterns on the display DISK.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the stored contents of the fixed storage device M/ shown in FIG. Memorized reading memory section, M/? The flag indicating the presence or absence of okurigana corresponding to the reading is "0".

1'/J okurikana presence/absence storage unit, M
III is a kanji code storage section in which kanji codes corresponding to the readings are stored. The address part M// has, for example, addresses "0001" to [aoqg J, and the reading storage part M/, l corresponding to this address contains commonly used kanji /l!
Various kana data of the on-yomi, kun-yomi, and kun-yomi with okuri-kana of the letter i are stored, including the oku-shikana. r-J between the kana and kana in the reading storage units M/, 2 indicates the delimiting position between the pronunciation and okakana of the kanji, and the position of this delimiter is also stored. Send kana presence/absence storage unit M/J
For example, if there is no okukana in the pronunciation, write it as ``10'', and if there is an okukana in the pronunciation, write it as ``/''.1. It is @ and
In the kanji code storage unit Mll/, internal codes of kanji corresponding to readings are stored in numeric values of Hiro digits.

Ml! indicates a kanji pattern corresponding to the above kanji code, but this kanji pattern is actually stored in the fixed storage device Kll.
The kanji code is not stored in the kanji code storage section M/4', but is stored in the fixed storage device M- in correspondence with the kanji code in the kanji code storage section M/4'.

Next, an example of the operation of the apparatus shown in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 1I.

- As an example, enter the kanji reading "A" from / to the Kana Jinriki group of the input section KEY, and the input 1-A.
Regarding the kanji and the input kanji starting with "a",
A case will be explained in which three types of output are performed: (1) only without okuri kana, 2) only with okuri kana, and 2) a mixture of the above-mentioned 2 and 2, regardless of the presence or absence of okuri kana.

The flowchart in FIG. 3 shows a control procedure for specifying the reading of a kanji and the beginning of the kanji to be output. When the operator presses /~Kj on any key of the input section KEY (step 87/), it is determined in step S12 whether or not the designated key is pressed 2~Kl/. . At this time, for example, to the kanji specification key without okurikana,
2 is pressed, step S7.2 makes an affirmative determination and proceeds to step S/, 2-/. Step S/,
2- After clearing the reading of the kanji that has already been input with /, all the flip-flops to be described later, and the kanji key press counter, the process moves to step S13. In step S73,
It is determined whether or not 2 is pressed on the continuous character specification key without forwarding kana, and if the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to step Sll/. In step S/4Z, a flip-flop (FE') (not shown) for no sending kana is set to 7 knots. By setting flip-flops (FF) without Okurikana, only Kanji without Okurikana can be written □4 y t b t (!: 15' Wi
□□2yo1. . 0, A Return to step S// and wait for the next key press 2.

On the other hand, if the above-mentioned kanji specification key without okurikana is pressed, a specification key other than 2, KJj or Kll, is pressed in step 81.
3 is a negative determination, and the process proceeds to step 5-27.

In step S2/, 3
is pressed. If the designated key K3 is pressed, step S2/ becomes an affirmative determination and the process proceeds to step S, 2.2; if the mixed alpha designation key /I is pressed, step 8.2/ becomes a negative determination. Step 8
．． Proceed to step 23. In step S, 2.2, a flip-flop (FF) for forwarding kana (not shown) is set, and in step 823, a mixing flip-flop (FF) (not shown) is set.
FF). The set of these flip-flops specifies whether to output only kanji with okurigana, or to output any character regardless of whether okurikana is present or not.

Next, the process returns to step S// and waits for the next key to be pressed.

Finally, in step S//, when the operator inputs the pronunciation of the character S< by pressing /, for example, "A", step S7.2 becomes a negative determination, and the process proceeds to step 83/. Then, in step 5illSS22, it is determined whether any flip-flop has already been set in either S or 2J. At this time, assuming that the flip-flop for no sender kana has already been set in step S/l, step S3
/ results in an affirmative determination, and the process proceeds to step 83.2. In step 83.2, a complete determination is made as to whether the pressed key is / in the group of kana human power keys. If / in the kana human power group, step 83.2 becomes an affirmative judgment, and the process proceeds to step 831. After displaying the output on the device DIS and setting the kana human power flip-flop (FF) indicating that / is pressed in the group of kana human power keys, the process returns to step Sl/ and waits for the next key to be pressed.

On the other hand, before pressing 2 to Kf on the specified key, press other keys,
For example, if the key/or KG is pressed, none of the flip-flops are set, so step S
In 3/, a negative determination is made and the process moves to step S4Z/ [7
, after displaying a message on the display DISK prompting you to press 2 to Kl on any designated key, step S is performed again.
Return to l/ and wait for the next key to be pressed.

Furthermore, if the kanji key Kj is pressed after pressing one of the designated keys 2 to ■ (4/), an affirmative determination will be made in step S3/, but a negative determination will be made in step 832, and the process will proceed to step 81I2, in which the kana It is determined whether or not there is still a kana human power from / in the group of human power keys, based on the presence or absence of a set of flip-flops for kana human power, and if this kana human power is not yet present, the process moves to step 8443 and the kana human power from / to the group of kana human power keys is changed. Display a message to encourage people's strength i 1)
After displaying on the IS, the process returns to step S// and waits for the next key to be pressed.

Now, after pressing one of the designated keys from 2 to In, press the "A" of / for the Kana Jinriki group, and then press the Kanji key K.
If J- is pressed, the flip-flop has already been set in Stella and Fu S33, so step S 弘λ becomes a negative determination and Step 8 in FIG. 1, which will be described later.
Proceed to 3/.

The flowchart in FIG. q shows a control procedure for searching and displaying a psychology that matches the reading of a kanji according to the type of output range specified in the control procedure in FIG.

First, in step Sj/, a kanji key press counter (not shown), which counts the number of presses of the kanji key K.j to 11, is incremented by /. Now, if the M-key Kj is pressed for the /th time, the count value Kit of the counter becomes =/. Next, the process proceeds to step 83.2, where it is determined whether the count value K=/, and if the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to step SjJ. In step SjJ, reading data of the storage section M/2 of the first address of the address section M// of the fixed storage device id/ is called. In the next step SS, the previous step S
The reading of the address called in S3 or step 862 to be described later is compared with the reading of the input. For example, the address part M of the fixed storage device M/ called in step SjJ
The pronunciation storage unit M7 corresponding to the address “10001 of //”.
It is compared and determined whether or not 2-1aj and "a" inputted from/to the kana human power group are the same. If they are the same, an affirmative determination is made in steps S and lt, and the process proceeds to the next step SSS.

In step SjS, as described above, the flag indicating the presence or absence of okurikana at the called address is compared with the flip-flop to determine whether or not to display kanji characters. For example, the flag data "0" indicating that there is no forwarding kana in the forwarding kana presence/absence storage unit M/j at address "OOO/" mentioned above, and step S/#,
Compare the flip-flop set in S, 2j or S, 23, and if the set flip-flop is a flip-flop for no okurikana, then the data r
Since it matches OJ, the process proceeds to system depth SSt, which is a preliminary determination.

On the other hand, if the set is a flip-flop with forwarding kana, it will not match the flag data I-OJ of address ``OOO/'' and address 1-bu M/3, so a negative determination will be made and the steps described below will be performed. Move to 86.2.

On the other hand, if it is a mixed Western flip-flop that has been set, the process proceeds to the next step S56 regardless of whether or not there is flag data in the storage section M/3. In other words, sending
When 3 is pressed on the kanji designation key that specifies whether there is an antonym, the flip-flop for okuri kana is set in step 8.22, so in step SSS, the okurikana presence/absence of the okuri kana presence/absence storage unit M/3 is set. The flag data of “/
” Only when “ is the case, an affirmative judgment will be made.

Furthermore, when 4/ is pressed on the mixed kanji designation key, the mixed kanji flip-flop is set in step 8.23, so that an affirmative determination is always made in step SSS. That is, regardless of the presence or absence of okurikana, all kanji corresponding to the reading of the kanji input to/from the kana human power key group are output and displayed on the display device DIS. Therefore, in the example shown in Figure 2, the fixed record i-divine "OOO/" ~ "00zat"
Each f-event of the address is sequentially output and displayed.

In step SJ6, the above-mentioned step S33 is still SA.
Address “ooo/” of fixed storage device M/ read in step 2
Busy central processing unit? 7UPU buffer (/(temporarily stored.

Due to lack of connection, in step S, t7, the previous sub-tube 13j6
The 1u device M fixedly records the kanji pattern information corresponding to the kanji code of the same kanji code storage unit M/g as memorized in the 1u device M.
, 2 is read from the storage unit M/j, and displayed on the display H and DIS via the display driver DR, and the process returns to step S// again. For example, in step Sj7, the kanji <1 of turn
After outputting and displaying "A" on the display DIS, the process returns to step Sll in FIG. 3 and waits for the next key to be pressed.

At this time, the display DISVL:, is f, l1 character turn I-:tl [J's output table 2, Kanajin Kaki-7'p
At the same time, the pronunciation of the kanji "A" inputted from K/ and the pronunciation 1 "A" of the character t, which is the content of the pronunciation storage section M/j corresponding to the kanji < turn "A", are displayed. to this,
Now, you can check the reading of the kanji you entered, the kanji pattern 忰 searched for in response to this input, and how to read the kanji ``<turn''. In this case, reading) j memory, () part M
/2 delimiter information 1-'' is also output and displayed, so the author can easily understand the reading of elementary school and the identification of its okurikana.

If the press of 5 on the 46-character key after pressing / on the kana person key is after the λth amount, step Sj, 2 will be a negative judgment, so in step SJ/) from the tufa to the memory address ( address) and proceed to step 84.2.

In addition, if the reading of the input from / to the key is not the same as the reading of the memory part M/2, or if the reading of the input from / is not the same, or if the reading of the input from the key is
The output sum that can be determined by the presence or absence of sending kana and the state of 7 lip-flops is 1/11.
At step SjI/, Stella 7' Sss is still negative and the process moves to Sudetsubu λ. Step $6.2
Then, in the previous step S334, ← 1, the address called 11 in S is adjusted by +/, and the reading data of the memory section M/- of the new address added is called.

In the next step St3, it is determined whether there is no pronunciation data at the corresponding address in the storage section M/, 2, and if there is no data Iij
, 1, a termination message to the effect that the search has been completed is displayed on the display device DNS at the step break, and the process returns to step Sll again to wait for the next key input. Step S/,
2, add + to the address value of fixed 'Ji-'t@pIi#M/
If an affirmative determination is made in step SA3 after adding / and the data does not exist, the data is actually stored in the fixed storage device M/ at the address ``-/'', where ``1'' is in the place, for example, 1-4109. On the other hand, when it is determined that the pronunciation data is valid in step Sl, 3, the process returns to the judgment process in step 1, step 5tlI, and the input pronunciation of / on the key and the pronunciation of the last part M/2 are determined. Determine whether it is the same or anzu.

For example, when you press "A" with / on the kana key, if you press the kanji key Kj again to search for a kanji with the same reading condition in 1115, the count value of the kanji key press counter will change in step S51. -2 is reached, so the process proceeds to step S61, calls the address "OOO/" of the fixed storage device M/ stored in step S, t6, and then adds / to the address value in step S≦λ. "OOo
, 2'' is called, and the process proceeds to step S4. ? It is determined whether or not there is data at the above-mentioned address fJOOO2JJ. In this case, as shown in Figure 2, "O
Since data exists at address ``Oo, 2'', step S63
is a negative determination, and it is determined whether or not the sakana "a" is the same.

Here, "0θ0/" ~ J"oo of fixed storage device M/
Assuming that the kanji whose pronunciation starts with "A" has been memorized by the next address, an affirmative determination will be made in step StV, so in the next step Sjj, for example, the set flip-flop will be sent without a kana character. If so, it does not match the data r/J indicating that there is a kana name called from the kana name storage unit M/3, so a negative determination is made in step S6j.
Move to. Here, assuming that the kanji from 1"000.2J to address ootxJ have okurikana, the fixed storage device i'
When the data at address "0Or3" of Y'M/ is read out, steps S62, S≦3, and Sj are repeated in sequence, and when the data at address "OOza3" is read out,
For the first time, an affirmative determination is made up to step S3. Step S
If the SS returns a positive result, read the kanji pattern "Blue" at the previous address from the fixed storage device M2. "A" is also displayed on the display device DIS at the same time.

In this way, when kaji output without sending shikana is specified, the sending kana presence/absence storage unit M/ of the fixed storage device M/ is specified.
? arrangement, # content is rOJ indicating sending shi l & no name, and the reading of the kanji input from / to the kana Jinriki group and the memory content of the reading memory unit M/, 2 are exactly the same blade, a certain kanji, or Starting with the pronunciation of the kanji input from / to a group of kanajin keys, only kana characters such as ``ao'' (for example, one example) that are stored in the pronunciation memory unit M/2 and do not include any okurikana are displayed as kanji keys. Since it is searched and displayed on the display DIS by each press of Lt, the display DN is relatively
The number of target kanji displayed on S is reduced, and the desired kanji can be quickly searched for.

In other words, in this example, data starting with "A" is "000/
"~1-00g≠" is stored in the address and there are Zagu words, among which the ones without okurikana are ' n! 46 for convenience, but in the case of Jitsu 1/Matsuri, it starts with the 3θ sound, so it is displayed on the display FM DIS by appropriately specifying either the key with or without the okurikana. The number of kanji to be searched will be reduced by approximately half, so
In either case, the time required to search for kanji characters is reduced by almost half, and the speed of kanji input is greatly improved.

In this way, according to this example, when performing kana human power M-character conversion, it is necessary to select the ``ga-ji'' with a ``shu-shi'' or a ``ga-ji'' without a ``shu-kana''. )
Since the output range of kanji is changed according to the specification of five characters, the number of kanji to be output can be reduced to about half compared to conventional devices.

Therefore, according to this example, it is possible to improve the search speed. In addition, in this example, we have also set up a so-called mixed mode that outputs all elementary schools that start with the manual pronunciation of kanji, regardless of the presence or absence of okuri-kana, so the operator can also search for items that cannot be determined whether or not they have okurikana. There are advantages that can be achieved.

(Effect) As explained above, according to the present invention, the lf to be output
You can specify the type of g character and search for kanji based on that specification, so you can quickly find the kanji you want. stomach! This results in an effect that can be detected. 1 1/, Drawing (7) Df+ , tit fx nQ Figure 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the character processing device of the present invention, and Figures 2 and 2 are the fixed storage device y:t3 ( i
