Abstract

PURPOSE:To transmit data by a transmission part which has no word processor, to facilitate the generation of transmitted data, and to easily read a reception list of Telex by converting data of alphanumeric characters sent by Telex into a KANJI (Chinese character)-mixed sentence. CONSTITUTION:A typewriter 2 is connected to a Telex circuit 1, a list 3 is printed out on this typewriter 2, and a paper tape 5 is perforated by a tape puncher 4. This tape 5 is set on a tape reader 6 to read and supplies data of the tape 5 to a personal computer 7. This computer 7 is controlled by a disk driver 9 connected to disk drives 10 and 11 to print out a list 13 on a printer 12. Data converted into parallel data by the parallel conversion 7a of this computer 7 are applied to a CPU7b to decide whether data read by the reader 6 can be converted into KANA (Japanese syllabary) or not; when so, it is decided whether phase conversion is possible or not, and the data are converted into KANJI or the original sentence when the conversion is possible.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a Japanese text conversion system and a data transmission/reception system in Telex.

(Prior art) Telex has the advantage of having an international exchange network, being cheaper than other communication methods, and being able to save content in the form of a list. Even today, when communication means have become widespread, it is still highly used.

By the way, the characters that can be sent and received in commonly used telex are alphanumeric characters and letters.

These are so-called alphanumeric characters, such as special characters, which are difficult for us Japanese people to read, and the current situation is that we get annoyed every time we look at a list that has been typed out. Furthermore, it takes time to translate the list to understand its contents, and it is difficult to improve the efficiency of administrative processing.

(Object of the Invention) The present invention has been proposed in view of the above points, and although it is not a 100% complete Japanese text,
An object of the present invention is to provide a Japanese text conversion method in telex capable of converting Japanese text to a practically sufficient degree.

In addition, other purposes include incorporating word processing functionality;
It is an object of the present invention to provide a data transmission and reception system in telex that can improve operability even during transmission.

(Structure of the invention) DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to drawings showing embodiments.

FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. To explain the configuration in the figure, 1 is a telex line connected to a telephone office, and is directly connected to a typewriter 2. The typewriter 2 punches out a string 3, and a tape puncher 4 punches a paper tape 5. is now being carried out. Further, 6 is a tape reader, into which a paper tape 5 punched by a tape puncher 4 is set and data is read. The reason why the data is read after it is converted into a paper tape is that it is prohibited by law to connect directly to a line with the exception of certain models of current telex machines.

Next, the tape reader 6 is connected to a personal computer 7 to control operations such as reading. On the other hand, the personal computer 7 is equipped with a CRT display 8°, a disk drive 9, and a printer 12, and the printer 12 prints out a list 13. In addition, 10.11 is a disk in which a program for running the system is recorded. Disk 11 stores software dedicated to converting Telex into Japanese, and by using disk 10 as a normal operating system, functions possessed by general-purpose software can be obtained. The present invention makes full use of the computer system, reduces costs, and facilitates the application of the present invention to hand-held computer systems.

FIG. 2 shows a schematic configuration from data recorded on a paper tape to conversion processing and sending of signals to a printer. That is, the data on the paper tape 5 is read by the tape reader 6 and input to the personal computer 7, but since the output of the tape reader 6 is serial data, it is converted to parallel data at 7A.
It is designed to be input to CPU7B. And C
The output of the PU 7B is provided to the printer 12 via the printer interface 7C.

Next, FIG. 3 shows the flow of data processing within the CPU 7B in FIG. 2.

That is, it is determined whether alphanumeric data can be converted to kana in a, and if possible, it is converted to kana data and proceeds to b, and if conversion is not possible, it is given as alphanumeric data to d. It will be done. Here, whether or not the data can be converted to kana is defined as a string of characters separated by one punctuation character and the next punctuation character, and the sending side inserts a punctuation character for each word. The judgment can be made based on whether the character string in the text (create data) can be read in Roman letters, and if even one character cannot be converted, the entire clause is left in its original language as alphanumeric data and processing is continued. For example, “NICHI
DEN'' can be read as ``Nichiden'' in Roman letters, so it is converted to data that represents ``Nichide A,''.
If it says "SYSTEM", it can be read as "system" by "SHISUTEMU""ALIHA""SISUT"
EMU" Tonatte L' cannot be read in Roman letters, so in this case it is judged as impossible to convert, and it represents the English word.

Alternatively, it is treated as unreadable and processed in its original language.

Next, in b, it is determined whether the data of one phrase that has been converted into kana corresponds to a pre-registered alphabetic character or a specific word, and if there is a corresponding kanji or word, it is actually converted in c, If there is no corresponding one, leave it as kana and move to d. Here, consideration is given to registering kanji with a high degree of length and use, and not registering kanji with many homophones to avoid erroneous conversion. In addition, the specific words and phrases to be registered in advance include, for example, 'N
This is to deal with English words like ``AME'' which are both English words that represent ``name'' and which can also be converted into kana, such as ``name''.
The words and phrases are made to correspond, and the inverse conversion is performed on the original text in the same way as conversion into kanji in C. Furthermore, 5
It is a word that represents “bureau”, such as “ITE”, and at the same time “~
For words where both are used frequently, such as ``shite'', the reading of ``shite'' should be registered as a combination of both, such as ``shite (SITE)''. (This is also effective.

Therefore, in d, the original data that cannot be converted to kana in a, the kana data that cannot be converted into phrases in b, and the data converted to kanji or corresponding words in C, are edited, and the printer Ingo Z Face A signal is sent to the printer 12 via 7C.

Next, FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the above operation along the time flow. Note that this example also includes a function to convert abbreviations frequently used in actual communication into ordinary words. In addition, in this example, the data on the paper tape is read at high speed in advance and recorded on the memory or disk in the personal computer, and from this recorded data one line (a data string separated by a line feed symbol) is read.
Although the conversion process is performed one by one, other methods, such as reading paper tape one by one and converting it, are also possible.

Therefore, when the conversion process is started in step 100,
In step 101, one line of data is read, and in step 102, one line of data is extracted from it.

Next, in step 103, it is determined whether the data in one clause can be converted into kana. If the data can be converted, the process moves to step 104, and if it cannot be converted, the process moves to step 105. Then, in step 104, alphanumeric data is actually converted into kana data, and the process moves to step 106. In addition, in step 105, it is determined whether the data determined in step 103 as not being able to be converted into kana corresponds to a predetermined abbreviation, and if there is a corresponding one, step 10
The process advances to step 7 to perform abbreviation conversion, and if there is no corresponding one, the process advances to step 108 to retain the original alphanumeric data. Here, the abbreviations are, for example, "ADH" → "addressee name", "CFM" → "confirmation".

This is a phrase such as "TKS" - "Thank you" and can be converted by registering it in a conversion dictionary in advance.

Next, in step 10B, it is determined whether the data converted to kana can be converted into phrases, that is, whether there is a word that corresponds to a pre-registered word or phrase, and if there is a corresponding word, it is actually converted in step 109. If there is no corresponding one, proceed to ζX step 110 and keep the kana data as is. Then, in step 111, 1 that has passed through steps 109, 110, 107 and 108
The converted data for the bunsetsu is held and stored until the conversion for one line is completed.

In step 112, the above processing is repeated until all the clauses in one line have been processed, and when the conversion for one line is completed, in step 113, the one line is printed out. Next, in step 114, it is determined whether there is any subsequent data, and if there is data, the process proceeds to step 10.
1, and conversion is performed in the same way up to the last line.

The attached table shows an example of a printed list. By printing the original text in the left column and the converted Japanese translation in the right column, you can read the Japanese text and read the original text if it does not make sense. This makes it possible to check the translations, thereby eliminating the negative effects caused by mistranslations.

EEI Fixed-san Disposal. Next, FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the present invention, which allows not only reception but also transmission. In other words, the main unit is connected directly to the telex line 1 or, under current regulations, via a paper tape compatible with the typewriter 2, and the internal dedicated CPU 18 is capable of converting received data into Japanese and converting the data to be sent. It looks like this.

FIG. 6 shows the structure of the main unit in more detail, mainly consisting of the converter 19. Dedicated CPU 18° display 15. It consists of a printer 1B and a keyboard 20. The converter 19 is connected to an interface 19C for controlling the tape puncher 19 and the tape reader 19B and for communicating with the telex line 1. This interface 19C is connected to a dedicated CPU having a word processor function 18 and a conversion function 18B. has been done. On the other hand, the display 15 is used as a monitor for Japanese translation during reception, and as a screen for editing transmission data during transmission. Further, the printer 16 is used for printing out the list 17, and the keyboard 20 is used for inputting transmission data and giving instructions for various controls.

However, regarding the conversion function 18B, FIGS.
It is substantially the same as that explained in the figure, except that it can also be used by directly connecting to the telex line 1 through the interposition of the interface 19C.

On the other hand, when sending, word processor function 18A
This makes it possible to use various processes when creating transmission data, such as the document update 1 editing function that creates a new document using an already created document, thereby improving the efficiency of data creation.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, the present invention provides a means for determining whether or not read data can be converted to kana, and converting it to kana if it is convertible, and a means for converting the data converted to kana into phrases. It is equipped with a means to determine whether or not it can be converted, and if it is convertible, to convert it into Kanji or the original text.It converts alphanumeric character data sent by telex into sentences containing Kanji, and also has a word processor function. Since the transmitter is equipped with a transmitter and can also transmit data, there are advantages in that it is very easy to read the telex reception list and it is also easy to create transmission data.
