Abstract

PURPOSE:To retrieve easily the inputted document by extracting the word used for the title part of the document, and using the word of the part of speech designated beforehand and the word to which the similar word is added as a key word. CONSTITUTION:When the Japanese sentence is inputted by a KANA (Japanese syllabary) character input from a keyboard 1, the sentence is inputted and accumulated to a document processing part 9 as a KANJI (Chinese character) KANA mixing Japanese sentence by a KANA KANJI converting part 2. Next, the form of the document is displayed on a monitor 12 by the control of the processing part 9, and the input place of the title part is indicated. Thus, in a word selecting part 4, the word of the title part is selected during the input of the title, sent to a similar word retrieving part 6 and the similar word of the word is extracted. When the input of the document is completed, the document accumulated at the processing part 9 is stored into a document file 10 in relation to the key word including the word used in the title at the retrieving part 6 and the similar word. Thus, the inputted document can be easily retrieved.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a document input processing method for a word processor or the like.

(Prior Art) In recent years, document input processing devices such as word processors have become more widespread, and it has become common for documents to be processed by information processing devices. As word processors and the like become widespread and the amount of document data handled by information processing apparatuses increases, the problem becomes how to efficiently extract necessary documents from a large amount of document data. Conventional word processors have focused on document creation functions such as text input and editing, and have poor search functions for created documents from files. A list of these documents was output and the document searched for the desired document.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) In such a conventional method, when the number of documents in a file to be searched increases, it takes time and effort to search for the target document from the list, and the user There is a problem that the burden on people increases.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a document input processing method that eliminates the conventional problems and allows easy searching of input documents.

(Means provided by the present invention to solve the problems) The document input processing method provided by the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problems includes a means for inputting a document, and a means for inputting a title part of the document. The present invention is characterized in that it includes means for extracting a word, means for providing a similar word to the word, and storage means for storing the document in association with the word and the similar word.

(Operation) When selecting and retrieving a required document from a large amount of documents, it is desirable to locate the document based on the content of the document.

The effort of checking a large list of documents one by one to find the desired one is a lot of work, but if the corresponding documents could be selected by specifying several keywords that represent the content of the document, the burden on the user would be significantly reduced. will be reduced to Also,
Even if you know the contents of a document well, you often do not remember the name of the document accurately, and even in such cases, it is extremely effective to be able to search from the contents of the document. In order to be able to search for a document from a computer, when a document is input and stored in a file, keywords representing the content of the document are extracted and stored together with the document itself.

It can be said that the content of a document can be summarized in its title, and therefore the main keywords representing the content of the document are considered to be included in the title. In the present invention, unused words in the title of a document are extracted, and words of a pre-designated part of speech (or parts of speech) are used as keywords.

In addition, the restriction that a document cannot be extracted unless the keyword used in the search is the same as the word used in the document is inconvenient for the user; It is necessary to provide flexibility so that searches can be performed using words. In the present invention, words extracted as keywords are further added with similar words having the same meaning as the words, and are used as keywords.

(Example) The present invention will be further described in detail based on Examples below. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention. 1 is a keyboard for inputting Japanese kana character strings and control information. 2 is a kana-kanji conversion unit, which refers to the kana character string input from the keyboard 1 to the word dictionary and grammar dictionary stored in the dictionary storage unit 3, identifies the word, and converts the kana character string into a sentence containing kanji and kana. Convert. The kanji-kana mixed character string converted by the kana-kanji conversion section 2 is sent to the document processing section 9, and the words extracted at the time of conversion are sent to the word selection section 4.

The word selection unit 4 obtains information from the document processing unit 9 indicating that the character string currently being input for kana-kanji conversion corresponds to the title input part, and selects the words from the kana-kanji conversion unit 2 only during that period. At the same time, only l1l of the parts of speech specified in advance (more than one part of speech may be specified) is selected and sent to the similar word search unit 6. It is assumed that the part-of-speech information of a word is added to the single word extracted by the kana-kanji conversion unit 2 using the dictionary storage unit 3. Similar word search unit 6 is word selection unit 4
Using the word received from as a key, the similar word storage section 7 is searched for similar words to the word, and the word and similar words are temporarily stored. The similar word storage unit 7 has a plurality of records each consisting of a headword and its similar words. The document processing unit 9 stores sentences input from the keyboard 1 via the kana-kanji conversion unit 2. is temporarily stored, and the text that has been completely input is edited using control information from the keyboard 1. Reference numeral 11 denotes a display control section which controls the monitor 12 in order to monitor the text input through the document processing section 9 and the editing process. Reference numeral 8 denotes a storage control unit that associates the input document stored in the document processing unit 9 with the words serving as keywords of the input document stored in the similar word search unit 6 and their similar words to create a document file 1.
Store at 0. The storage control unit 8 also receives the search keyword input from the keyboard 1 via the kana-kanji conversion unit 2 and the document processing unit 9, and selects a document having the corresponding keyword from among the documents that have been stored in the document file 10. is searched and sent to the document processing section 9.

The overall operation of the embodiment of the configuration described above is as follows. When a Japanese sentence is input by inputting kana characters from the keyboard 1, the input sentence is stored in the document processing section 9 as a Japanese sentence mixed with kanji and kana by the kana-kanji conversion section 2. Under the control of the document processing section 9, a preset format is displayed on the monitor 12 at the time of input, and the input location of the title section is indicated. The text being input can be monitored by the monitor 12, and editing processing is executed by the document processing section 9 according to control information from the keyboard 1 as needed.

As soon as the input text is stored in the document processing section 9, the words used in the input text are extracted by the kana-kanji conversion section 2.

In the word selection section 4, while inputting the title, words in the title part are selected and sent to the similar word search section 6, where similar words of these words are extracted. When the input of a document is completed and an instruction to store the entered text in a file is issued from the keyboard 1, the text that has been stored in the document processing section 9 is stored in the similar word search section 6, including words that have not been used in the title and It can be stored in the document file 10 in association with keywords containing similar words.

The documents stored in the document file 10 in this way are
A selection is made in response to a keyword input along with a search instruction from the keyboard 1, and the text is imported into the document processing section 9 and further displayed on the monitor 12.

Although not shown in the block diagram of FIG. 1, if a printer is connected to the document processing section 9, a hard copy of the retrieved document can be obtained, and by adding a communication line connection section, the retrieved document can be obtained. It is also possible to send it to a remote terminal.

Note that there are various modifications to the embodiments of the present invention based on the basic idea of the present invention, and the examples described above do not limit the scope of the present invention.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the present invention, the keywords of the input text are automatically extracted while the text is being input, and the keywords are associated with the input text body at the same time. Since the text can be stored in the ``keyword'', it is possible to perform a keyword search when searching for a text that has been input once. Therefore, by using the method of the present invention, it is possible to save the trouble of clicking and selecting a list of text titles one by one, and at the same time, it is possible to reduce the burden on the input operator in adding information to facilitate the search. is not required at all.

Furthermore, in the method of the present invention, keywords are not limited to words used in the input text, but also similar words that are the same as those words can be used, making it possible to perform a highly flexible search. It is possible. Thus, according to the present invention,
A document input processing method that allows easy searching of input documents can be provided.
