Abstract

PURPOSE:To more exactly grasp an outline of a sentence of other language by replacing a work of other language consisting of a phonetic symbol with a KANJI (Chinese character) being an ideograph, and also, displaying the word of other language corresponding to its KANJI along with the KANJI. CONSTITUTION:At the time of a sentence of other language (for example, English) than a language for using a KANJI (Chinese character) is inputted from a keyboard 1 by a phonetic symbol such as the alphabet, etc., its sentence is stored temporarily in a RAM 40 by a CPU 30. Subsequently, with regard to one word each of the inputted sentence, the CPU retrieves whether a word of Japanese language exists in a dictionary floppy disk stored in accordance with said other language or not. If it does not exist in a dictionary floppy disk 20A, it is displayed as it remains inputted, and if it exists in the dictionary floppy disk 20A, it is replaced with its word and a word of Japanese language is displayed on a position where its word is placed. Also, under this word, the corresponding other language is displayed on a display device 50.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of application in M business) The present invention displays sentences in various languages consisting of phonetic characters such as alphabets by replacing necessary words in the sentences with words expressed in kanji. This invention relates to a multilingual kanji conversion word processor that makes it possible to grasp the gist of sentences in various languages by using ideographic kanji.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, machines are known that translate various languages consisting of phonetic characters such as the alphabet into languages using Kanji, such as Japanese, Chinese, and Korean.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Conventional translation machines are expensive, and moreover, it is difficult to guarantee accurate translation in all cases, and it is difficult to ensure accurate translation of sentences in the aforementioned languages. At present, it is difficult to accurately grasp the meaning.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a low-cost multilingual kanji conversion word processor that can more accurately grasp the meaning of sentences in various languages from kanji by introducing kanji as universal ideograms. shall be.

(Means for solving the problem) As shown in the first diagram, the present invention includes a means (1) for inputting a sentence of the introduction mj other than the word M using kanji in phonetic characters such as alphabets; A dictionary memory (2) that stores kanji that correspond to necessary words in various languages, and a dictionary memory (2) that stores kanji that correspond to the input words of the various languages.
and output the read out kanji and each remaining word of the various languages that cannot be converted into kanji so that they are displayed according to the sentence structure of the input languages, and the converted kanji. a processing means (3) for outputting the original words of various languages corresponding to the kanji so as to be displayed side by side with the converted kanji; and a display means (4) for displaying the output of the processing means (3). It is characterized by comprising:

(Operation) When a sentence in a language other than a language that uses kanji is input using phonetic characters such as alphabets through the input means (1), the processing means (3) processes it and the display means (4)
, the kanji corresponding to the input word of the various languages and words other than the corresponding words are displayed according to the sentence structure of the various languages, and the word corresponding to the kanji is displayed at the bottom or top of the kanji. be done.

(Example) Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In Figure 2, 翰 is a means (1) for inputting sentences in languages other than languages that use kanji, such as English, French, German, etc., using phonetic characters such as the alphabet, such as a keyboard (i); ROM1 contains a dictionary floppy desk (20A) in which words such as Japanese words are stored in correspondence with English words using kanji.
It is.

OPU■ is noMc! The program stored in 0 stores the English sentences entered by pressing keys on the keyboard Ql in -HRA M Gl□, and the words of the input English sentences are stored in the dictionary floppy drive (if they are not in the 2ON, the 3rd The word will be displayed as it is entered as shown in the figure, and if it is on the dictionary floppy desk (20A), it will be displayed at the position where the word is placed.
Displays the Japanese word in place of that word, and
Processing is performed to place the corresponding English word below this word.

The mallet is a display device such as a display (50A) or a printer (50E) that displays data processed by the 0PUC 301.

Note that a communication line can be used instead of the keyboard αQ. FIG. 4 to FIG. 6 are flowcharts showing the procedure of processing stored in the ROM (a).

First, select the input language from among English, French, German, etc. (Step 01) Next, select which of the display (50Al-printer (40B) to use as the display device (Step ■) .next,
Enter, for example, an English sentence by pressing the 101 key on the keyboard (step ■).

The input English sentence is read character by character (step ■), and it is determined whether there are spaces or punctuation marks in the sentence (step ■). If there is, the character string between spaces and delimiters is stored as a word in RAM (4111) in the input order (step ■).For example, "We are
very happy to have the op
The English word ``portunity'' is rWeJ p.
r are Jz r veryJ, rbap
pyJ ``to J ``bave J ``the J ``
Store the words of opportunityJ in RAM θ in this order.
Store in 1. Thereafter, it is determined whether the sentence has ended or not (step (2)), and if it has not, the process returns to step (2) and reads the characters again. Next, for each word of the input sentence, first, use the dictionary Frochy Desk (
Open the alphabetical file corresponding to the first letter of the word in 20A). Step ■), search to see if the word exists in the dictionary floppy desk (2ON) (step ■). If it is not in the dictionary floppy desk (2OA). , when the word is changed regularly, that is, rlngJ t rlyJ , r esJ + at the end of the word.
r'J, search to see if the word is in the dictionary floppy desk (20 Shu) when ``edJ'' is removed (step σΦ).

In step (2) and step [phase], if the word is in the dictionary floppy desk (20AJ), it is further determined whether there are multiple kanji characters corresponding to the word (step (2)). When there is one kanji, store that kanji in RAM (4α), and when there are multiple kanji, store one of them in RAM (4α), and when there are multiple kanji, store the remaining kanji in other locations in RAM (40) (step @[ phase]).

Each time the search for one word is completed, it is determined whether the sentence is completed or not (step O); if it is not completed, the process returns to step (2) and the same operation as before is performed.

In step σyu, the word is in the dictionary floppy def, ri(

501.

In other words, when there is no kanji corresponding to the word (step C)
) moves to step O, and if there are any, calculates the lengths of the input words of the various languages and the corresponding kanji (step 0). Then compare the lengths of both (step @)
. When a kanji is shorter than or equal to a word, the display position of the kanji is determined based on the word so that the kanji is displayed in balance with the word (step [phase]). If the word is shorter than a kanji character, the display position of the word is determined based on the kanji character (step O). That is, a difference of half the length of each word and kanji is found, and the display position t of the shorter word or kanji is shifted to the right by this difference from the beginning of the longer one. In this position, the shorter one will be displayed in the center of the longer one. Next, the kanji is determined so that the words corresponding to the kanji are displayed in the normal column where words of various languages are displayed when there are no kanji, and the words corresponding to the kanji are displayed in the lower column (step [phase]).

Next, a space is left from the end of the longer word or kanji to determine the display start position of the next longer word or kanji (step Φ)). When this step ■ is finished, step O again
Return to and determine the display position of the next word and corresponding kanji. In this way, the words of the sentences in various languages and the words and kanji are displayed (50A) sequentially through the steps [phase].
(Step 0).

Next, it is determined whether or not the sentences in various languages that have been converted into kanji and displayed on the display (5ON) need to be corrected when viewed as a whole (step 0).

When making corrections, check whether there is a kanji in stock from the first word (step [phase]). If a kanji is in stock, the kanji is displayed in a different color (for example, red) on the display (50 (Ten)). (Step 0).

Next, display the stock of kanji you want to change (step @@), select the desired kanji from the stock (step [Sou]), and as long as there are kanji to be corrected among the kanji in sentences in various languages. , repeat step [phase] 0 [phase] through step [phase]. After completing the correction or when there is no need to correct the kanji in the sentences in other languages, use the display (
It is determined whether or not to output the sentence displayed on 50A+ to the printer (50E) (step [phase]), and if necessary, it is printed (step 0). If the conversion of sentences in various languages is not completed, return to step ■ and perform the same operation as before (step [phase]).

In this way, for example, an English sentence inputted from the keyboard α■ is converted into Kanji and displayed on the display (50~), and is printed on the printer (50B) if desired.

In this embodiment, the converted Kanji characters are inserted into sentences of various languages, and the original words of the various languages are displayed next to the Kanji characters, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the present invention, words in various languages consisting of phonetic characters are replaced with ideograms, which are kanji, and words in various languages corresponding to the kanji are displayed alongside the kanji. This allows us to more accurately grasp the meaning of sentences in the original languages.
