Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention provides an operator (
The present invention relates to a character processing device that is capable of displaying information on a display device in response to instructions from an operator.

[Conventional technology]

In recent years, microprocessors (MPUs) have become faster.

With the increase in the capacity of RAM (random access memory) and the capacity of external magnetic storage devices, the functionality of Japanese word processors (character processing devices) has significantly improved and they have come to be widely used.

[Problem that HJ1 is trying to solve] However, as kana-kanji conversion becomes more and more common in this type of Japanese word processor, the chances of opening a dictionary are decreasing.
As a result, there are many cases where the operator does not notice even if the wrong character is converted into kana-kanji. For example, "change in water level" is used in "
"Hain" is a "displacement" and must be distinguished from other "transitions", "mutations", etc. ；Δ、・Even if え is not clear, use 117 during the kana-i-kaji conversion operation.
The task of checking the meaning of a word by examining it was cumbersome and difficult in practice. As a result, typos peculiar to the 11-word word processor occurred frequently.

One aspect of the present invention is to eliminate the drawbacks mentioned above.

To provide a character processing device capable of minimizing one typo.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve this object, the present invention provides a kana character table that stores the pronunciations of multiple kanji/idioms, a kanji code table that stores multiple kanji/idioms corresponding to the pronunciations, and a kanji code table that stores the pronunciations of multiple kanji/idioms. The memorized word meaning code table and
A display means for displaying kanji/idioms and word meanings, an input means for inputting a command instructing to output and display the meaning of the kanji/juku J# displayed on one display means, and a display means for inputting a command in response to a command input from the input means. 6. [Function] In the present invention, the word meaning code indicated by the pointer of the kanji code table is displayed on the display means. According to the address pointer stored in the kanji table, the corresponding character code string is read from the kanji word table,
Since the contents of the kanji meaning table are displayed on the display device according to the character code, it is possible to prevent typographical errors due to kana-kanji conversion as much as possible.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the overall basic configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. Here, a is a kana character table that stores the pronunciations of a plurality of kanji and compound words. b is a kanji code table that stores a plurality of kanji and compound words corresponding to the reading kana. C is a word meaning code table that stores the words and meanings of the kanji/idioms.

This is an input stage for inputting a command instructing to output and display M. f is a display system [= stage, and 1 input "In response to the input of the command described above from stage e, the 6M code table cJ indicated by the pointer of the Ikaji code table b:,
The meaning and content of the word are output and displayed on the display means d.

FIG. 2 shows the circuit configuration of a word processor according to an embodiment of the present invention. Here, 11 is a microprocessor (MPU) that performs overall arithmetic control, and FIG. Perform the control operation according to the present invention according to the control order as shown in R
OM12 stores the control program and also :rS
Tables 1 and 2.3 for use in kana-kanji conversion, words, and ti large display as shown in Figure 3 are stored. 13 is MPU
1 is a RAM (random access memory) used as a work area, and has storage areas such as a document memory for document editing and a cathode register.

14 is a floppy disk device as an external storage device, which stores edited documents. 15 is a hard disk device, which also serves as an external storage device.
Reference numeral 6 denotes an I10 (input/output) controller, which performs input/output control of the floppy disk device 14 and the hard disk device 15.

I7 is a display device like a CRT display.

A character string (sentence) as shown in FIG. 4 is displayed.

Reference numeral 18 denotes a keyboard, which has function keys, which will be described later, necessary for carrying out the present invention. 19 is a pointing device such as a digitizer that indicates the input position of the display screen 517 of the display wave 517; 20 is these outfits 5117°18 and 1
This is an I10 controller that performs input/output control of 9. M.P.
The UII connects to the aforementioned component devices 12-20 through internal paths (path lines) 21.

Now, it is assumed that a word processor operator has created a sentence as shown in A1 of FIG. 4 on the screen of the display device 17. It is assumed that the operator is not sure about the character ``mutation'' that has been converted into a kanji. In conventional devices, it is necessary to look up a dictionary at this point, but in this embodiment, if the word meaning output command "Output the meaning of one word of the converted character" is input from the data input device to MP[I 11, This command may be generated by inputting a reserved key on the keyboard 18 or by selecting a menu using a cursor or light pen (not shown).
By receiving the command of PU 11, the meaning (word meaning) of the character converted to kanji (for example, "mutation") is changed to A2 in Figure 4.
The image is displayed on the screen of the display device 17 as shown in FIG. As a result, if the operator confirms a typo, the correct word is selected by repeating the Kanji conversion and confirmation.

FIG. 3 shows an example of the structure of tables stored in the ROO 20, where 1 is a kana character table, 2 is a kanji code table, and 3 is a word meaning code table. In Figure 3,
Kana character table 1 with address of kanji table l
The reference to Kanji code table 2 is the same as the conventional general kana-kanji conversion process. For example, when inputting "heni"
The pointer (address pointer) of a kanji such as "transition", "mutation", or "displacement" is specified, and a pre-prepared program (not shown) reads out the character code stored in Table 2 in priority order, and reads the character code stored in Table 2 in priority order. According to the read character code string, a character font or character vector is read from the character code from a dictionary table (not shown) stored in the ROM 12, and the character font or character vector is output on the screen of the display wave [17]. Is displayed.

Now, when the meaning output command described in hi is input.

At the same time as the output display of the kanji ``ha'', the meaning code table 3 is read out from the table 2 having the address of the meaning table 3.

According to the character code string read from this table 3,
A character font or character vector is read from the dictionary table described in L, and output and displayed on the display device 17 as shown in FIG.

As shown in Figure 3, some kanji are synonymous, such as ``bias'' and ``deviation.'' In that case, move the table 2 pointer that indicates the table 3 address to
By simply changing the contents of table 3, it is enough to keep it the same, and the memory capacity F and ¥ is small.
For example, in addition to the meaning of a word, information such as a corresponding foreign language, figure, or synonym can also be displayed at the same time.

Note that in this embodiment, tables 1, 2.3 are stored in the ROM 12, but the present invention is not limited to this;
Of course, the information may be stored in 13, magnetic storage device 14, 15, or the like.

Next, referring to the flowchart of FIG. 5, the operation example of the embodiment of the present invention described in L will be explained in further detail. Furthermore, 81
~S13 represents the second step of the control fI.

First, when a word meaning output command that instructs a low output is input from an input device such as the keyboard 18 (St), an attribute regarding the word (pronunciation) for which α output is sought is extracted from table l (S2); Next, the atto and response pointers used when referencing table 2 are moved to the beginning of table 2 according to the information written in the clear attribute (S
3), then according to that address pointer, table 2
information regarding the converted character is extracted (S4). continue,
The converted characters (kanji) are converted into character pits and displayed on the display device 2217 (S5). Furthermore, according to the reference address pointer of table 3 in the converted character information, the character string of table 3 is extracted (se), and the information of this character string is converted into character bits and displayed on the display device i17 (S7 ).

The operator, while looking at the display screen of the display device 17, determines whether or not the correct conversion character required by the operator has been detected based on the displayed kanji and its meaning, and issues a command indicating the '14 cut result on the keyboard 18, etc. Input from an input device. The MPUII adds 11 to determine whether a correct converted character has been detected by this judgment command (S8), and if the judgment is positive, the process proceeds to S12 (described later), and if the judgment is negative, the process returns to Table 2.
Then, it is determined whether all the converted characters corresponding to the pronunciation of the word whose meaning is being output are output (SS).

If S9 is a fixed determination, a comment indicating that there are no characters on the table 2, for example, a comment such as "search completed" is displayed at a predetermined display position on the display device 17.

Proceed to S12. When S9 is negative, table 2F
Since there are still converted characters remaining, the reference address pointer in table 2 is moved to the converted character that has not yet been output (5tO), and the process returns to step S4 again to repeat the same process as described above.

On the other hand, if the input of the word meaning output command is not 81, S8
If the correct converted character is detected in , and if a message indicating that the characters not output in Sll are gone,
Proceeding to S12, it is determined whether or not it is necessary to change the converted characters based on whether or not the character conversion key is input, and only if it is necessary, the converted characters are changed to mokana or the like (S13).

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, in response to input of a word meaning output command, a corresponding character string code is read from a table of meanings of kanji according to an address pointer stored in a kanji table, and displayed according to the character code. Since the contents of the kanji meaning table are displayed on the device, it is possible to prevent typographical errors due to 2-kana and vague character conversion as much as possible, thereby improving I-IT performance.
