Abstract

PURPOSE:To select a KANJI (Chinese character) desired by an operator out of plural candidates by selecting the 1st candidate KANJI with the input of the easiest-to-push key and then the 2nd candidate KANJI with the input of the 2nd easiest-to-push key respectively. CONSTITUTION:The information on keys are fetched by a microcomputer 8 at every time a key is pushed on a keyboard 5. The computer 8 stores successively these information. This operation is repeated until a conversion key is pushed. When the conversion key is pushed, the computer 8 retrieves the KANJI corresponding to the KANA (Japanese syllabary) characters so far supplied out of a KANJI dictionary. Then the candidate KANJI are decided successively with priority, and the 2nd easiest-to-push key is decided among those keys pushed lately and stored in a working memory 7. Then the contents of said decision are transferred to a display memory 6 and displayed on a display device 4.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a Japanese word processor that performs kana-kanji conversion, and a Japanese word processor that has a Japanese word processor function that performs kana-kanji conversion on a personal computer.

Conventional technology In conventional Japanese word processors, when there are multiple candidates for kanji to be converted from input kana characters during kana-kanji conversion, when the operator selects one from among them by key input, " If you press the ``1'' key, the first candidate kanji will be selected, and if you press the ``2'' key, the second candidate kanji will be selected. I chose one from. For example, the display at this time is the 5th
It was as shown in the figure.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in such a conventional method, the number key must be pressed regardless of the current position of the child, and the number key is not a normal kana key. Since it is located far away from the numeric keypad, selecting one of the multiple candidates using the numerical keys requires a large movement of the hand, making it difficult to use.

The present invention has been made in view of the above, and an object of the present invention is to provide a Japanese word processor that allows one to easily select one of a plurality of kanji candidates.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention includes a memory that stores the last key pressed, a current RAM from this key, and assigns candidate kanji to the determined order. Set up a program that assumes that when the next easiest key to press is pressed, the first candidate kanji is selected, when the next easiest key is pressed, the second candidate kanji is selected, and so on. is stone.

Effect of the Invention With the above-described configuration, the present invention can perform kana-kanji conversion by selecting one of a plurality of kanji candidates with such ease of operation that the user does not have to move his or her hands.

Embodiment FIG. 1 shows a display screen in an embodiment of the Japanese word processor of the present invention.
1 is the kana part where the operator keyed in "Shunni", 2 is the multiple kanji candidates corresponding to that kana, and from the left, the first candidate is "in order", the second candidate is "in order" This refers to ``simply'', hereinafter ``semi-ni'', and ``circularly''. Also, 3 is the first part of the key type display that must be pressed to select this kanji candidate.
It indicates "mo" and "ra". FIG. 2 is a layout diagram of the keyboard of a Japanese word processor in the same embodiment. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the circuit configuration for realizing this embodiment. In addition to the display device 4 and the keyboard 6,
It consists of a display memory 6, a working memory 7, a microcomputer 8, a kanji dictionary 9, and a document memory 10. FIG. 4 is a flowchart of a program for realizing this embodiment, which is composed of steps 101 to 108.

If the operator makes a key input as shown in the kana section 1 in Fig. 1 and presses the "conversion" key in Fig. 2, then the kanji candidate 2 in Fig. 1
As shown in the key type display section 3, kanji candidates are displayed in order from the left as a first candidate and a second candidate.

In other words, in the case of this embodiment, if you press the "convert" key after inputting "shunni" from the keyboard 6 with your hand, it is expected that your hand will be in the vicinity of this "ni" and the "convert" key. Therefore, when ``ni'' is pressed, the first option ``sequentially'' is selected, when ``no'' is pressed, the second option ``simply'' is selected, and when ``mo'' is pressed, the third option ``sequentially'' is selected. ``according to'' is selected,
When "ra" is pressed, processing is performed so that the fourth candidate "mekuni" is selected, and the status is displayed on the screen shown in FIG. This is carried out by a circuit centered around a microcomputer whose block diagram is shown in FIG. 4 in accordance with the flowchart shown in FIG.

In other words, each time a key is pressed on the keyboard 5 in FIG. 3, that information is taken into the micro computer 4 knee 8. The microcomputer 8 sequentially stores the information as shown in step 101 in FIG. Further, in step 102, if the pressed key is other than the "conversion key", this process is repeated in order until the "conversion key" is pressed, and when the "conversion key" is pressed, the microcomputer-8 The kanji dictionary 9 is searched for the kanji corresponding to the kana character that has been searched, and the candidate kanji are selected as the first candidate and the second candidate as shown in step 103.
Candidates are determined in order. Furthermore, work memo IJ
As shown in step 104, the next key to be pressed is determined from the recently pressed keys remembered in step 7.

Then, the content determined in step 105 is transferred to the display memory 6 to be displayed on the display device 4. The displayed results are as shown in FIG. 1 mentioned above. In this state, the selection key is waiting for input (Step 1
o6), "ni" for selection in this example of Figure 1
, "no", "mo", or "ra" key is input. Now, if the key for "ni" is input, in step 107, "sequence" is set as the determined kana-kanji conversion result. At the same time as registering this conversion result in the document memory 1o, the display memory 6
and displayed on the display device 4 (step 108). Further, the information is recorded and saved in the external storage device 11 as necessary.

By repeating the above process, kana sentences will be sequentially converted into kanji sentences.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, by adding two microcomputer programs very easily, the operator can easily select a desired kanji from among multiple candidates without having to move his or her hands at all. It is possible to select one and is extremely useful in practical terms.

Claims (1)

[Claims] When there are multiple candidates for kanji to be converted from the input kana in kana-kanji conversion, when the operator selects one of them by key input, the operator selects the last character entered on the keyboard. The system is configured so that the first candidate kanji is selected by determining the position of the hand, and by inputting the next easiest key to press, and the second candidate kanji is selected by inputting the next easiest key to press.
