Abstract

PURPOSE:To minimize a change of the homonym due to the selection and to execute the selecting work easily for the technical document in which the technical field is not designated beforehand by installing a word dictionary which can identify and select classified by plural fields. CONSTITUTION:In a word dictionary 3, a memory area classified by plural fields such as a memory area 6 of common fields, a memory area 7 of a medical area and a memory area 8 of the engineering field is divided. A monitoring circuit 5 identifies to what field the selected word belongs, the special field, for example, the word of the medical field is selected by a certain prescribed frequency or above, and then, the command is executed to a retrieving circuit 2 and thereafter, the medical field is retrieved with a priority. Thus, even when the technical field of the document is not designated beforehand, by inputting a sentence with a constant length and selecting the homonym, the word of the field including the common part is automatically retrieved with a priority. Thus, the change of the homonym due to the selection can be minimized and the selecting work can be easily executed.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a kana-kanji conversion method, particularly to a Japanese word processor that inputs kana characters or romaji and converts them into kanji.
O Concerning a kana-kanji conversion method that automatically converts the priority order of selection and display of homophones according to the input text in Japanese text processing (including Japanese text processing such as Personal Combi Nitsuta using word processing software) [Prior technology] Japanese The current mainstream input method for word processors is the kana-kanji conversion method, in which kana characters or romaji are input and converted into kanji, but these input methods allow different kanji or idioms (terms) to have the same reading. Homonym handling is one important factor that determines the ease of use of the device. When inputting kanji or converting kana to kanji, terms that are most frequently used in general documents are usually displayed in the main text of the display screen that displays the input text, etc.
If the displayed term is different from the term in the sentence you are trying to enter, use the selection key (numeric keys or letter keys) to select the desired term from among the many homophone candidates and replace it! /c is configured.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

Therefore, the specific field of expertise in which the text you are trying to enter,
For example, in a text related to medicine, all technical terms, especially technical terms that have the same reading as general terms but have different kanji, will be displayed as general terms, and you must always select and replace them with technical terms. First, there is a problem that document creation takes time and effort. Some Japanese word processors are equipped with field-specific dictionaries and allow you to specify this dictionary in advance. In general, it is not easy for the operator to determine this if the system is not installed, and there is a drawback that it is difficult to utilize the functions effectively.

The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems with the kana-kanji conversion method in conventional Japanese word processors, and to easily create specialized documents in which no specialized field is specified in advance, with fewer changes in homophones and homophones due to selection. It is possible to provide a kanji conversion method.

[Means to solve the problem]

The Kana-Kanji conversion method of the present invention is a Kana-Kanji conversion method that inputs Kana characters or Roman characters and converts them into Kanji.
It is equipped with a terminology dictionary configured to classify kanji or compound words with the same reading into multiple fields including a common field and at least one specialized field, and to enable identification and selection by field. When a term belonging to one of the specialized fields is selected more than a predetermined number of times during selection, the display of kanji or compound words in the same document thereafter will be based on the words from the specified specialized field. It is constructed by preferentially displaying terms.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. Search circuit 2. Terminology dictionary 3
．． Display device4. It consists of a monitoring circuit 5. When Kana characters or Roman characters to be converted into Kanji are input from the input keyboard device 1 and a conversion command is issued, the search circuit 2
selects the most frequently used term from a plurality of terms with the same pronunciation registered in the terminology dictionary 3 according to its pronunciation and displays it in the text on the display screen of the display device 4.

For example, for the reading ``Ketsusen'', it means ``decisive battle''.
There are many idioms such as ``final election,'' ``bloody battle,''``thrombus,'' and ``connection,'' but ``decisive battle'' is most often used in general documents.
"Decisive Battle" is displayed in the text. On the other hand, in the medical field, "thrombus" is often used, and in the engineering field, "connection" is often used, so depending on the homonym selection operation, "decisive battle" can be achieved.
It is necessary to replace ・ with "thrombus" and "wire connection" 〇 Therefore, in general documents, ", decisive battle" is prioritized, but in medical documents, "thrombus" is displayed, and in engineering documents, "wire connection" is expanded.
By displaying each term with priority, there is no need to replace it with another term when selecting a homophone later, which has the effect of saving the effort required for selection, especially when there are many homophones. big. The present invention is designed to automatically switch the priority employee. In other words, "decisive battle,""decisiveelection," and "bloody battle" are classified into common fields, "thrombus" is classified into medical field, and "wiring" is classified into engineering field, and the selected terms are identified by field and prioritized reading by field. As shown in FIG. 2 along with a few other examples, memory areas are divided by field and registered in the terminology dictionary 3 so that the terminology dictionary 3 can be used. In FIG. 2, 6 is a memory area of a common field, and 7 is a memory area of a common field.
8 is a memory area in the medical field, and 8 is a memory area in the engineering field. When homophones are selected when creating a document, the monitoring circuit 5 identifies which field the selected term belongs to, and selects a term in a specific field, for example, the medical field, a predetermined number of times or more. When this happens, a command is issued to the search circuit 2 to give priority to medical field terms for subsequent dictionary searches, and to display words on the display screen (in the main text when converting kana-kanji, or in the text when selecting homophones). K is displayed at the selection candidate display location. Of course, not all readings are registered by field, and if there are no specialized terms registered in a specified field, terms from common fields will be displayed. The monitoring circuit 5 counts the number of nine terms selected for each specialized field until it reaches a certain number, but when a term from that specialized field is not selected and a homophone from a common field is selected, the counter is counted. It is designed to be calculated. As mentioned above, when the count value of terms in a specific specialized field reaches a certain positive number, the monitoring circuit 5 issues a control signal to search that field with priority and clears the count value t-@0''K. If a term from that specialty continues to be selected after a specialty is specified, the search circuit will continue to preferentially search for terms from that specialty; If the selection of homophones in a common field continues, the counted value of that field will become negative, and when it reaches a certain negative value, a control signal will be sent to the search circuit 2 to cancel the designation of that field, and from then on, the count value of that field will become negative. It is configured to prioritize search for terms in the field.

With this configuration, even if the specialized field of the document is not specified in advance, if you input a certain length of text and select a homophone, the terminology from that field will automatically take priority from then on. It is searched and displayed in the main text of the display screen when converting, and at the beginning of homophone candidates when selecting, making subsequent selection easier and reducing document creation time. be. In addition, even if a text from a specific specialized field is cited in a general document, the specialized term will be input preferentially for that part, and when the user returns to the general text, the general term will be automatically prioritized in the search. In the above-described embodiment, the terminology dictionary 3 stores memory areas divided by field to enable preferential search and identification by field. It is not necessarily necessary to divide the memory area by field.

That is, it is also possible to provide a field identification flag for each term, identify this flag with a search circuit, and preferentially display terms in the specified field on the display. When a flag is provided for each term in this way, there is an advantage that the search order of terms within a common term can be easily changed depending on the designated specialized field. In addition, in the explanation of the above embodiment, it was stated that once a specific specialized field is specified, if a general term continues to be selected, the common field is automatically returned to, but the restoration is not done automatically but by manual operation. Almost the same effect can be obtained even if K is set so as to cause In addition, if you record this specialty field at the same time when you finish document processing and register it on a floppy disk, etc., even if you recall this document again and make corrections, you will be able to specify the specialty field first. This is convenient because it can be done automatically.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained in detail above, according to the Kana-Kanji conversion method of the present invention, even if a specialized field is not specified in advance, a specialized field is automatically selected, specialized terms are searched with priority, and displayed on the display screen. This has the effect of making it extremely easy to select homophones and improving operability.
