Abstract

PURPOSE:To insert automatically a punctuation mark by storing a character- string for always inserting a punctuation mark immediately after a word, in a memory, and generating a punctuation mark code when a character-string from a keyboard coincides with the stored character-string. CONSTITUTION:A character-string determined in advance for putting a punctuation mark at all times immediately after, for instance, ''desu (Japanese word)'' is stored in a memory part 3. A character-string inputted from an input part 1 is stored temporarily in a buffer 2, and the character-string from the buffer 2 is compared with a character-string from a storage part 3 by a comparing means 4. The means 4 sends out a signal to a control part when both the inputted character-strings coincide with each other. The control part 5 generates a necessary control code such as a punctuation mark code, etc. in accordance with a kind of the input signal, and inputs it to a ''Kana'' (Japanese syllabary)-''Kanji'' (Chinese character) conversion control device 6. The device 6 fabricates a Chinese character mixed character-string into which a punctuation mark is inserted, from the character-string sent from the buffer 2 and the control code outputted from the control part 5, and outputs it as a sentence through an output part 7.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Substances of the Invention] The present invention relates to a word processor, and more particularly to a word processor that can automatically insert punctuation marks.

[Technical background of the invention]

In conventional word processors, punctuation marks are treated the same as normal characters and are entered by the operator from the keyboard using the same sweeping motions. FIG. 1 shows an example of a sentence created by such a conventional word processor. The first line is the input text, and the second line is the output text. In the figure, arrows a - e indicate punctuation mark insertion positions, which are input by the operator.

[Problems with background technology]

However, as you can see from the example in Figure 1, punctuation marks vary from person to person, creating sentences that are difficult to read. In this example, it would be easier to read if the punctuation marks a and d were omitted. Furthermore, because the operator repeatedly enters punctuation marks, the input speed slows down. -, I-^, there was a drawback that it caused input errors.

[Purpose of the invention]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above drawbacks, an object of the present invention is to provide a word processor capable of automatically inserting punctuation marks to create easy-to-read sentences.

[Analysis of the invention]

In the present invention, a character string to be inserted without fail immediately after is stored in a memory in advance, and a character string inputted by an operator from a keyboard is combined with the character string stored in the memory as needed. The above object is achieved by comparing the characters, generating a punctuation mark code when the two character strings match, and automatically inserting the punctuation mark immediately after the matched character string.

[Embodiments of the invention]

An embodiment of the word processor of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the word processor of the present invention. Data (character strings) input from the human resources section 1 are temporarily stored in a buffer 2. A character string (a predetermined character string) to which a punctuation mark is always inserted immediately after is stored in advance in the memory section 3, and this memory section 3
The output (predetermined character string) of the buffer 2 and the output (input character string) of the buffer 2 are input to the comparing means 4. The comparison means 4 outputs a signal to the control section 5 when both input character strings match. Control part 5 depending on the type of input signal?
, γimaginary-1-do, etc., are generated and inputted to the kana-kanji change suppression control device 6.

The kana-kanji transformation control device 6 creates a character string containing kanji with punctuation marks inserted from the input character string sent from the buffer 2 and the expression control code outputted from the control section 5, and outputs it to the output section (printer, display, etc.) 7. The output unit 7 outputs sentences.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained. Immediately, a phrase is always stored in the memory section 3 immediately after, for example, ``Desu''.
Memorize nine predetermined character strings to mark points. This character string is determined from the time of device design.The memory section 3 is composed of 130M, and the character string is stored in this ROM. When this character string is determined by an application, the memory section 3 is configured with a RAM 17, and the character string stored in an external storage device such as a floppy disk is initially loaded into the RAM.

When the operator inputs the text created by the operator from input section 1 (7),
Buffer 2 temporarily stores this as a character string. A comparison means 4 compares the input character string from the Bazufu 2 and the character string (predetermined character string) from the memo 1) section 3. FIG. 3 shows this comparison operation, indicated by reference numeral 8, 1. When the input character string 8 is compared with a predetermined character string 9, the part A of the input character string 8 matches the predetermined character string 9. Comparisons such as B are performed by the comparing means 4 each time a character is input from the input section 1 to the buffer 2, and in the example shown in FIG. 3, two characters are compared.

When input character string 8 and predetermined character string 9 match,
The comparison means outputs a control signal indicating that four punctuation marks match to the control section 5. The control unit 5 generates a punctuation mark code according to the type of input control signal and outputs it to the kana-kanji conversion control device 6. Here, the punctuation mark code according to the type of control signal is ",", [o-1, etc.]. The kana-kanji conversion control device 6 inserts the punctuation mark code from the control unit 5 into the character string from the buffer 2 to create a 9-character string containing kanji and 5 characters.
- Output this to the output section 7. Output section Outputs a sentence with seven punctuation marks inserted.

According to this embodiment, the character string input from the input unit 1 and a predetermined character string stored in the memory 3 are compared at any time by the comparison means 4, and when the two match, the control unit 5 issues a control code. It is output to the kana-kanji conversion control device 6, where a character string containing kanji with punctuation marks is created.
By sending the text to *, a', ;v, it is possible to automatically insert punctuation marks into the text, and create sentences that are easy to read *, a', ;v by eliminating the operator's individual habits. Moreover, since the operator does not need to input two punctuation points from the input unit 1, it is possible to improve the speed of inputting sentences, eliminate errors, and reduce input errors.

Although the above embodiment described an example of automatically inserting punctuation marks, the present invention does not necessarily include automatically inserting punctuation marks, but also automatically generates characters, lines, and figures that occur according to predetermined rules using a circuit similar to the above. A similar effect can be obtained by automatically inserting this.

6- [Effects of the Invention] According to the word processor of the present invention as delivered above,
The input character string input by the operator is compared at any time with a predetermined character string in which punctuation marks are added to the text, and when the two match, the punctuation mark is inserted into the input character string. It has the effect of automatically inserting punctuation marks, improves text input speed, and reduces input errors.
