Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the general-purpose properties of a Japanese sentence input device by using a conversion table which can be applied with both input character strings equal to and longer than a paragraph unit respectively. CONSTITUTION:The KANA (Japanese syllabary) character strings supplied from an input means 1 for each paragraph or each sentence are stored in a RAM4 via a control means using a microprocessor unit 3. A conversion table 5 consists of a conversion table 5a for KANA/KANJI (Chinese character) conversion of both paragraph and sentence inputs and a conversion table 5b for KANA /KANJI conversion of sentence input. If the stored KANA character strings are equal to a paragraph, the KANA/KANJI conversion is carried out directly through the table 5. While the KANA/KANJI conversion is carried out after extraction of a paragraph if the KANA character string is longer than a paragraph. Then a KANA character string including KANJI is displayed by a display means 2. Thus the general-purpose properties can be improved for a Japanese sentence input device.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a Japanese text input device that converts input kana characters into sentences containing kanji.

〈Prior art〉 Dictionary of Dictionary 1. Kana-to-kanji conversion converts a kana character string entered in a phrase unit into a character string mixed with kanji, and a kana character string inputted in a sentence unit longer than a phrase (solid input) is converted into a character string mixed with kanji. Kana -
Even though the kanji conversion and kanji conversion had partially the same configuration, they were all stored in separate memories.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> For this reason, a large-capacity conversion table memory is required, which not only increases the size of the configuration but also has poor operability.
IC elements, LSI elements, and various other elements necessary for the circuit configuration are required, making it difficult to reduce the product price.

The present invention solves the inconvenience caused by converting kana character input in clause units and kana character input in sentence units into character strings mixed with kanji by independent means in the above conventional example, and the circuit due to the independent circuit. The purpose of this is to simplify the circuit by avoiding duplication of data, improve conversion processing speed, and reduce storage capacity.

Means for Solving Problems> The present invention provides a means for inputting a kana character string, a means for storing the input character string, a conversion table for converting the input character string into a character string containing kanji, In the device having a storage means for the converted character string containing kanji and a means for displaying the input character string and the converted character string, the conversion table is a conversion table that can be shared for both input character strings in phrase units and sentence units. It will be configured.

Effect> Input by input means? ! - Once the kana character string is stored in the storage means, a kana-kanji conversion command is received,
When it is confirmed that it is a single clause, the kana character string is immediately converted into a character string containing kanji by the conversion table according to the processing block of the storage means, and this is stored and displayed by the display means. On the other hand, if it is confirmed that the input character string does not consist of one phrase when receiving the kana-to-kanji conversion command, after operating the conversion table and extracting phrases according to the processing program in the storage means, The input storage means converts into a mixed character string, stores it, and displays it.In other words, the input storage means determines whether the format of the input string is suitable for conversion processing, operates the conversion table according to the processing program, and converts the mixed kanji into a mixed character string. Acts like converting to a string.

<Examples> The present invention will be described below using examples shown in the drawings.

A display means 2 is composed of an iquic (crystal device), etc., and has a function of displaying various contents such as kana character strings, kanji-mixed character strings, etc. inputted by the input means 1 as they are, and kana characters inputted by the input means 1. rows and kanji mixed
゛：゛In addition to storing character strings, determining whether the above input is in units of clauses or sentences, and storing processing programs that determine the next processing procedure, it is also used as a register for information processing. a conversion table 5 comprising a conversion table 5a necessary for kana-kanji conversion of phrase input and sentence input, and a conversion table 5b necessary for kana-kanji conversion of sentence input; It consists of a control microprocessor unit 3 that receives operation commands from the input means and operates the entire device in an orderly manner based on the operating procedure program registered in the RAM 4. However, this is converted into a character string containing kanji by optimizing it for each clause.

Next, the flowchart shown in FIG. 2 will be described.

The kana character string input from the input means 1 in units of clauses or sentences is stored in the RAM 4 by the control means by the microprocessor unit 3 (step S,
). That is, input processing is performed, and the input kana character string stored in the memory is converted into a character string containing kanji by giving an instruction to convert the kana character string stored in the RAM 4 into a character string containing kanji to the conversion table 5 through manual key operation by the operator (step S2). Checks whether the string is one clause (
Step S, ), if it is one clause, conversion table 5
Direct kana-kanji conversion processing (step S) is performed. On the other hand, if it is not one phrase, that is, solid input (sentence 1 phrase 1
Conversion table 5 for input in units longer than bunsetsu (sentences, etc.)
After the phrase extraction processing operation (step S5), the kana-kanji conversion processing (step S) is performed, and the converted content is displayed as a character string containing kanji on the display means 2 (
In step S,), if the displayed conversion result is correct, the process returns to the input process (step S,); if the conversion result is incorrect, the process returns to the input process after selecting a homophone (step S8).

The difference from the conventional operation is that when inputting phrases, there is no phrase check (step S) and phrase extraction (step S4) in the operation flowchart, and when inputting sentences, there is no phrase check (step S). S, ) is absent.

Further, in the flowchart, the portions surrounded by dotted lines indicate operations specific to the present invention.

<Effects of the Invention> As described above, the present invention has made it possible to convert both kana character strings of a single character and kana character strings of sentences into character strings containing kanji using a conversion table that can be used in common. This makes it highly versatile as it can be used as a kana-to-kanji conversion device exclusively for phrase input or a kana-to-kanji conversion device for solid input, and in terms of production, conversion tables are not required for each case but can be shared. , duplication is eliminated and product costs can be reduced.

Claims (1)

[Claims] means for inputting a kana character string; storage means for storing the input kana character string as is; a conversion table for converting the input kana character string into a character string containing kanji; and storing the converted character string containing kanji as is. In a device having a storage means and a means for displaying the input kana character string and the converted character string, the conversion table is configured to display the input character string in phrase units and input characters in units longer than phrases (phrases, sentences, texts, etc.). A Japanese text input device characterized in that it is configured with a conversion table that can be used both for columns and columns.
