〔Example〕

The present invention will be described in detail below based on examples.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an English document processing apparatus according to the present invention.

In FIG. 1, 1-1 is a display, 1-2 is a keyboard, 1-3 is a buffer, 1-4 is an English sentence processing unit,
1-5 is a spelling check dictionary placed in memory, 1-6 is a misspelled word table, 1-7 is a word spelling comparison unit, 1-8 is a correction processing unit, and 1-9 is an auxiliary unit. 1-10 is a storage device, 1-10 is a spelling error correction control unit, 1-11 is a misspelled word table management unit, and 1-12 is a misspelled m-word table display unit. The display 1-1 is used for inputting English sentences, warning the operator when a spelling error occurs, and monitoring information on spelling errors according to the present invention, and the keyboard 1-2 is used for inputting sentences and for monitoring information on spelling errors. Used for spelling correction and other control instructions. The buffer 1-3 is the keyboard 1-2 or the auxiliary storage device 1.
- Used for temporary storage of data input from 9. The English text processing unit 1-4 performs various known text editing or text creation processes on the input English text. The spelling error correction control unit 1-10 successively extracts words from the input sentence data in the buffer 1-3, compares them with the dictionary 1-5, and corrects words for which spelling errors are detected as a result of the comparison. Processing is performed to replace words in buffer 1-3 by spelling. The word spelling comparison unit 1-7 is activated by the spelling error control unit 1-10, and the word spelling comparison unit 1-7 is activated by the spelling error control unit 1-10, and the word spelling comparison unit 1-7
The spelling of the input word is compared with the spelling stored in the dictionary 1-5, and when a match is detected, the spelling error control unit 1-10
A matching signal is sent to , and when a mismatch is detected, the correction processing section 1-8 is activated. When the spelling error control unit 1-10 receives a match signal from the word spelling comparison unit 1-7, it regards the word in the buffer as correct and does not perform correction processing. When the correction processing unit 1-8 is activated, a warning message is displayed on the display 1-1 and the operator is notified. The operator looks at the slurred word and uses dictionary 1-
If it is determined that the spelling is correct even if it is not in 5, the response key is input from the keyboard 1-2, and a match signal is sent to the correction processing section 1-8. With this, the correction processing unit 1-
8 sends a match signal to the spelling error control section 1-10. However, when the operator discovers a spelling error, he inputs the correction response code from the keyboard 1-2, inputs the correct spelling, and notifies the correction processing section 1-8. next,
When all the words in the buffer 1-3 have been checked for spelling, a message asking whether to display the contents of the misspelled word table 1-6 is displayed on the display 1-1, and the operator presses the keyboard 1-2. When a request to display the contents of the misspelled word table 1-6 is input, the contents of the misspelled word table 1-6 are displayed on the display 1. The misspelled word table 1-6 holds the misspelled word, its correct spelling, and the frequency of occurrence of the misspelled word in the input document. The misspelled word table management unit 1-11 is activated by the correction processing unit 1-8, and before registering the word and its correct spelling in the misspelled word table 1-6, the misspelled word table management unit 1-11 -6, and if the word does not exist, it is newly registered in the misspelled word table 1-6, and if the word exists, it is searched for in the misspelled word table 1. -6, the number of occurrences of the misspelled word is updated, and the misspelled word and the correctly spelled word are not registered.

When the operator inputs a request to display the contents of the misspelled word table 1-6 from the keyboard 1-2, the misspelled word table display section 1-12 is activated by the correction processing section 1-8, and displays the misspelled word table. 1-6 is sorted by the frequency of appearance of the word in the misspelled word table 1-6, and the misspelled word in the misspelled word table 1-6 is compared with the corrected correct spelling from the beginning, and the misspelled part is sorted. are extracted and displayed on the display 1 in the form of a list.

Figure 2 is a flowchart showing the operation of the spelling error display device of this embodiment. In process 2-1 in Figure 1, it is determined whether there is a word whose spelling has not been checked yet in the buffer 1-3. . If there is a word whose spelling has not been checked yet in buffer 1-3, process 2-2. If it does not exist, the process moves to process 2-10. In process 2-2, the spelling error correction control unit 1-10 reads from the input text data in the buffer 1-3.

Extract words sequentially. After that, the process moves to process 2-3.

In process 2-3, word spelling comparison unit 1-7 uses buffer 1-
Compare the spelling of the input word in dictionaries 1-5 with the spellings stored in dictionaries 1-5. If the input word spelling does not match the spelling stored in the dictionary 1-5, the process moves to process 2-4. Processing 2-
In step 4, the correction processing unit 1-8 displays a warning message on the display 1. After that, the process moves to process 2-5. In process 2-5,
When the operator sees the word, it says ';! Even if it is not in Ft-5, if the end is correct, the process moves to process 2-2, and if it is a spelling error, the process moves to process 2-6. In process 2-6, correction processing unit 1-
Step 8 corrects the misspelled word to the correct spelling word inputted from the keyboard 1-2. After that, the process moves to process 2-7. In process 2-7, it is searched whether the misspelled word is registered in the misspelled word table 1-6. If the misspelled word is not registered in the misspelled word table 1-6, the process moves to step 2-8; if it is registered, the process moves to step 2-9. In process 2-8, the misspelled word table management unit 1-11 registers the misspelled word in the misspelled word table 1-6. After that, the process returns to process 2-1. Processing 2-9 is carried out by the misspelled word table management unit 1-11.
The number of occurrences of the misspelled word in the table is updated, and the number of occurrences is WM'd to the misspelled word table 1-6. Processing 2-
10, when there is no word in the buffer 1-3 whose end has not been checked, that is, when all the words in the buffer 1-3 have been checked for spelling, the spelling error word table 1-6 is sent to the operator. The message is displayed and the process moves to process 2-11. In process 2-11, it is determined whether the operator inputs a request to display the contents of the misspelled word table 1-6 from the keyboard 1-2. The operator selects the misspelled word table 1- from the keyboard 1-2.
When the content display request No. 6 is input, the process moves to process 2-12.

If the operator does not input a request to display the contents of the misspelled word table 1-6 from the keyboard 1-2, the process ends. Process 2-12 sorts the misspelled word table 1-6 according to the appearance frequency of the word in the misspelled word table 1-6. After that, process 2-1
Move on to 3. Process 2-13 is the misspelled word table 1-
The previous misspelling in 6 is compared with the corrected spelling from the beginning, and the misspelled part is extracted. After that, process 2
Move to -14. Process 2-14 is misspelled word table 1
-6 contents and misspelled word table display section 1-12
