Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain the synchronous output of voices and documents by using a memory means for position data that secures the correspondence between the documents and voices and a means which reads out the voice data recorded based on said position data and the stored document data synchronously with each other. CONSTITUTION:A CPU 10 performs the overall control of a document processor as well as various types of document processing including the KANA (Japanese syllabary)/KANJI (Chinese characters) conversion. A working RAM 18 contains a register INC which stores the number of unconverted characters and delivers the reproduction start signal to urge the production of reproduced voices for input of the next sentence when the value of the register INC is equal to zero. A correspondence table 19 controls the storing positions of documents and the recording positions of voices in response to each other. Here the document address of a document memory 16 and the voice addresses on a recording medium are stored in pairs. A sound recording/reproducing device 20 records and reproduces the voice information to a CMT. Here the device 20 receives the signals from the CPU 10 and performs the reproduction, sound recording, interruption, fast feeding and rewind operations respectively.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the entire flow of the kana-kanji conversion process in the above embodiment.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the processing flow when the "play display" key is operated in the above embodiment.

(2) When a sentence containing kanji is manually entered in kana by operating the character keys of the action input section 110, the entered kana characters are sequentially stored in the manual buffer 15 under the control of the CPU 10, and are also stored in the non-oral display memory. The number of characters input to the input buffer 15 at that time is stored in the number of unconverted characters register INC in the work RAM 1g as the number of unconverted characters.

When converting kana to kanji, after manually inputting the kana character string to be converted using the character keys on the input section 110, the user operates all of the "conversion" keys above the doujinshi blade section 1. As a result, C.P.
The kana-kanji conversion process as shown in FIG. 2 is started under the control of UJO, and its specific operation will be explained below.

First, by operating the "conversion" key provided on the input unit 11, the contents of the flag register F1 are checked in step S in FIG.

Here, if the content of the flag register F1 is MO# (that is, if it indicates that the "convert" key operation is performed while the kana character string to be converted is input to the input buffer 15) , in step S2, a stop signal (S
TO) Output i.

As a result, when the recording/playback device 20 is in the recording mode, its bell sounding operation is temporarily interrupted.

Next, in step S3, the contents of the unconverted character number register INC in the working RAM 1B are checked.

Here, the content of the unconverted character count register INC is “0”.
'', but indicates that characters to be converted (unconverted characters) are stored (remaining) in the input buffer 15, in step S4, the manual buffer 1
5, all characters to be converted are read out, and the dictionary 12 is searched based on the characters.

When the corresponding Chinese character is retrieved in the dictionary 12 search process, it is determined in step S5 whether there is a homophone or not, and if a homophone exists, the homophone is displayed in step S6.

Here, in step S7, when one of the nine homophones displayed is selected by operating the number keys and the "select/execute" key of the input unit 11, the selected kanji is selected in step S8. is registered in the document memory 16, and the contents of the document memory 16 are displayed on the display section 13. Furthermore, at this time, in Stella fs9, the contents of the unconverted character count register INC are decremented in accordance with the number of converted characters in input capaffano 5, and the contents are examined again in Stella fs3.

Furthermore, even if there is no homophone in step S5, the same processes from step S8 onwards are executed.

In step S3 above, the number of unconverted characters register IN
If the content of C is not "0" (that is, if unconverted characters remain in the input buffer 15), the process from step S4 onwards is repeatedly executed, but the content of register INC is "0". When it is determined, '1#' is set in the flag register F1 in Stella fS10.

This flag register F1 becomes ']#, and after the conversion is completed,
If the "convert" key is operated while indicating that no characters have been input, the value of the document address register TXA in the working RAM 1B and the value of the counter 21 are converted in the Stella fs11. and the position data C that are paired with each other.
TXAi, CNTi) as pointer register 1
It is written and registered in the storage area of the correspondence table 19 indicated by .

After registering the voice and document position data in the correspondence table 19, in step S12, a recording start signal (PS
T ) is output, and the paused friend recording operation is resumed.

The input of a document by manual key operation of the input unit 1 and the recording of audio by the bell operation of the microphone (MIC) and the recording/reproducing device 20 are sequentially performed, and each time a conversion process is performed, the document and audio are position data (TXAn, C
NTn) are registered in the correspondence table 19 in pairs.

The position data of the document and audio registered in the correspondence table 19 as described above is effectively used when outputting the document and audio synchronously. The entire process involved will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

Here, the process shown in FIG. 3 is executed by specifying all the characters displayed on the 1 display fJA with the cursor and after t by fully operating the "play display" key.

First, in Stella fS21, 1 working RAM 1 B
Search the document address (TXAi, TXAi + 1) registered in the correspondence table 19 based on the friend cursor address stored in the cursor register CUA in the
The storage position of the document address TXAl satisfying (TXAi≦(CUA) (TXAi +1:) is searched, and the playback start position of the stored character string containing the cursor designated character Kanakura on the correspondence table 19 is detected.

Next, if the playback start position on the correspondence table 19 is detected, in step S22.

The above detected position data (TXAi, CNTi
), audio position data (cNTt) paired with document position data (TXAi) is set in the r register 22.

(-, and in step S23, the register 22
The position data (CNTI) stored in the counter 210 is compared with the counter 210 count value (CMT position data).
If the value of 1 is greater than the value of position data (CNTI),
At step fs35, all return signals are output and CMT i
Rewind. Also, the value of counter 2 is the position data (CNT1
), in step S24, the fast-forward signal is fully output and the CMT money is fast-forwarded.

Then, in step S25, when it is detected that a coincidence signal n* indicating that the value of the counter 21 has reached the value of the register 22 is output from the - number output circuit 23, a stop signal is output in step S25. (STO)' is output and the playback operation is completely stopped.

Thereafter, in step S27, the document address T
Document memory 1 specified by XAi to TXAi + 1
The document data stored in the storage area of 6 is read out, transferred to the display memo+) 13B, and displayed on the entire document display 13A.
to be highlighted. At this time, the characters read from the document memory 16 are displayed within the display range (for example, 1 line, 2 digits) on the display 13.
If it exceeds t, it will be displayed in flowing text according to the playback speed.

Next, in step 828, the audio position data (CNTi+1)t'' corresponding to the position data (TXAt++) of the document registered in the correspondence table 19 is read out, and this position data (CNTi+1) is stored in the f register 2.
2, and in step S29, the reproduction start signal (PST) is fully output.

Thereby, the recording/reproducing device 20 reproduces the audio corresponding to the document displayed on the display JJAK and outputs it from the speaker. At this time, the cursor specifies the corresponding character in synchronization with the reproduced audio.

Friend, the document is transferred from the document memory to the display memory in the following manner.

That is, when the cursor is moved within the display range of the display 13, the display memo I) 13B is not transferred from the document memory 16, but only the display of the cursor mark moves in response to the operation of the cursor keys.

Next, if the cursor is moved beyond the display range of the display ZJH, data is transferred from the document memory 16 to the display memo 13B, so that the cursor position falls within the display range. Note that when the cursor key is operated, the cursor address of the cursor register CUA in the work RAM 1B is updated accordingly.

Then, the value of the counter 21 becomes the value of the register 22 (CNT
When the number l+1) is reached, a match signal is output from the - number construction circuit 23, and this signal is input to the CPU 10 and also to the AND e-) 26. At this time, the flip-flop 25 is set by the playback start signal (PST) output from the Stellar fs29, so the ANDf-)26 opens and a stop signal is sent to the recording/playback device 20 from the gate 26. At the same time, an interrupt signal (INT) is sent to the CPU 10.

When the CPU Zo receives interrupt No. 6 (INT) from the AND gate 26, it checks the contents of the flag register F2 in the Stella fs30, and if it is ``0'', it enters the interrupt processing from step 831 onwards. Here, first in step 831, flag register F2 is set to "1", and in step 832, pointer register 1 is set to "1".
The value of is updated (+1). Further, in step 833, it is checked whether the value of the pointer register i has reached the pointer address of the last position data registered in the correspondence table 19 and it is a friend. If it has not reached the pointer address, the interrupt processing is terminated and the process is returned to step S27. Start the subsequent processing. Further, if the value of the pointer register 1 is registered in the correspondence table 19 and it is too late for the pointer address of the sentence selection end position data, the contents of the flag register F2 are returned to MO'' and the synchronized reproduction operation of audio and document is completed.

Furthermore, when the "stop playback" key of the input unit 11 is operated during the audio playback described above, a stop signal (
STO) is output, and the same signal is input to the recording/playback device 20 via OR f-) and T7, and audio playback is stopped.

Through such synchronous storage and playback of documents and audio, input documents and audio can be managed in a state where they are associated with each other, and the saved documents and audio can be easily retrieved during playback. And it can output with high synchronization 8:.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the storage location of the voice and document is stored at the time of starting input of the character string to be converted, but the present invention is not limited to this.
Each time a sentence (or phrase or character) is input, the storage position of the voice at that time is automatically determined and stored, and when converting a character string, the storage position of the sentence (or phrase or character) is identified and the two are associated. It may also be configured to store the information. Further, data indicating the storage location of the memory (or voice memory) may be stored in the voice memory (or document memory). Also, audio data and document data can be divided into sentences (or phrases, or characters).
The configuration may be such that the information is stored alternately.

Further, in the above embodiment, the voice input period is substantially synchronized with the input period of the unconverted character string and is the same period, but it may be made to be different. For example, before (or after) inputting an unconverted character string (or after the conversion is completed), a voice corresponding to this character string may be input and stored in the voice storage means.

Further, in the above embodiment, CRT display control is used as an example of the playback output means, but it is also possible to print characters corresponding to the sound, for example, and make the playback speed correspond to the print speed. Further, the playback speed may be arbitrarily specified so that the document data is displayed according to the playback speed.

[Effects of the Invention] As detailed above, according to the document processing device of the present invention,
In a document processing device having an audio recording/reproducing mechanism or to which an audio recording/reproducing mechanism can be connected, there is provided a storage means for storing position data that associates a document with an audio, and an audio recording means based on this position data. The document storage means has a means for reading out the recorded voice data and the document data stored in the document storage means in synchronization with each other, and the fixed voice data recorded in the voice recording means and the document stored in the document storage means are provided. By configuring the data to be output in synchronization with each other, it is possible to manage the storage when saving and outputting audio information attached to a document, or when saving and outputting audio information attached to a document f. and output control can be easily performed.
