Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain conversion from KANJI (Chinese character) into KANA (Japanese syllabary) by reading out KANJI or a phrase relating to reading KANA from a conversion dictionary storing means, comparing the read contents with KANJI or a phrase to be converted and outputting the reading KANA corresponding to the coincident KANJI or phrase. CONSTITUTION:A retrieving means 3 reads out a KANJI or a phrase starting from the reading KANA read out from a reading KANA storing means 2 from the conversion dictionary storing means 1 and retrieves the coincidence of the read contents with the character to be converted. Namely, the retrieving means 3 reads out the reading KANA corresponding to the leading KANJI of the phrase to be converted from the storing means 2 and reads out phrases starting from the reading KANA successively from the means 1 to retrieve the phrase coincident with the phrase to be converted. At the detection of coincidence, the reading KANA corresponding to the phrase is outputted as converted KANA characters.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a device for converting kanji to kinakana.

[Summary of the invention]

The present invention is a device for converting kanji into kana, and after converting a part of the idiom to be converted into kana, the idiom related to this kana is read out from the conversion dictionary and compared with the idiom to be converted, This is a completely new device that can convert kanji to kana by reading out the readings of the matching compound words from a conversion dictionary as the readings of the conversion results.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, a dictionary is provided in which kana characters and kanji are stored in correspondence, and kana characters are converted to kanji by searching the dictionary for kanji that correspond to the kana characters.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Previously, it was possible to convert kana to kanji, but it was rarely possible to convert kanji to kana. Therefore, for example, when it is desired to convert kanji read from a document file into pronunciations and output them, or when it is desired to add furigana to kanji, the conversion is often impossible.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a device that enables conversion from Kanji to KA.

[Means for solving problems]

FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram of the present invention. 1 is a kanji or juku@
Conversion dictionary storage means stored in correspondence with kana, or reading storage means storing readings corresponding to kanji; 3 indicates the reading read out from the reading storage means 2; This search means reads out kanji and phrases starting with ``from the conversion dictionary storage means 1'' and searches for matches with characters to be converted.

[Effect]

The retrieval means 3 reads out the reading corresponding to the first kanji of the compound word to be converted from the reading storage means 2, and further,
Sequentially read out the idioms starting with these readings from the conversion dictionary storage means 1.

Search for a phrase that matches the phrase to be converted. When a match is detected, the pronunciation corresponding to this compound word is output as the converted kana character.

〔Example〕

(1) Configuration $2 FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. 1
0 is an input section, which includes a kana-kanji conversion key for instructing conversion of kana to kanji, a kanji-kana conversion key for instructing conversion of kanji to kana, and the like. 1 is a CPU, which executes operations shown in flowcharts to be described later, and processes kana-kanji conversion and kanji-kana conversion. Reference numeral 12 denotes a kanji index table, whose detailed structure is shown in FIG. 3, in which one or more readings are stored corresponding to each kanji code in a storage area addressed by the kanji code. For example, in the area specified by the kanji code for "hon", its two readings "han" and "moto" are stored. 13 is a conversion dictionary memory, the details of which are shown in FIG. 4, in which kana and kanji are stored in correspondence. For example, "hon", "hon", "translation", and "ben" are stored in order for "han", and "draft" and "dummy code" (indicated by "\" in the figure) are stored for "hanmen". ”, “draft”, and “dummy code” are stored in this order. This conversion dictionary memory 13 is specified by the kana read from the previous ipi kanji index table 12. For example, the search range of the conversion dictionary memory 13 specified by "han" is the part 13&, and the first is searched in the order of "Han", then "Hanan"... "Hanron", and the search range specified by "Moto" is 1
Aya in 3b, first "moto", then "motoi"...
...The order is "Motone". Also, for example, "Hanan"
The corresponding kanji is "Han'an" in the conversion dictionary memory 13.
(The corresponding 1st kanji ``kan'' and 3rd ``kan'' are read out, and the 1st kanji ``hon'' and 3 kanji that correspond to ``han'' are read out.
The second kanji ``ban'' is combined into ``hondan'' and ``adaptation.'' Similarly, the kanji characters corresponding to "hanmiyou" are composed of "honmei" and "honmei", and the kanji characters corresponding to "hanmei" are composed of "honmei" and "tonmei".

Reference numeral 14 in FIG. 2 is an adjunct word dictionary memory, which stores particles, auxiliary verbs, etc. 15 is a document memory that stores ephemeral characters and mixed characters, 16 is a ROM that stores characters 7 onts for display and printing and programs for conversion processing, and 17 is data that is being processed at the time of conversion process Horitai production. RAM for storing etc.
18 is a display section, and I9 is a printing section.

(2) Operation FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing processing operations for Kanji-kana conversion and kana-kanji conversion. After specifying the kanji string to be converted in the input section 11, if you operate the kanji-kana conversion key, S
Processing indicated by l is executed by the CPU 12. That is, in Sl, the first Kanji character of the Kanji character string to be converted in the document memory 15 is detected. This first kanji is converted into its reading by referring to the kanji index table 12 in S2, and in S3, the conversion dictionary memo I) 13fI: Search and convert the kanji within the search range related to this reading. Read out idioms. Then, in S4, the read kanji and compound words are compared with the kanji character string to be converted. If they do not match, the process of 53t and S4 is repeated until all the kanji and phrases within the search range have been mapped out in step S5. S.

When the end of the search is detected at step 86, if there is a reading for ``ku'' in the kanji index table 12P1'3, the conversion dictionary memory 13 within the search range corresponding to this reading is searched. . If there is a kanji or compound word that matches the kanji string to be converted in S4, the corresponding pronunciation is read from the conversion dictionary memory 13 in S7, and after reading this into the sentence J memory 15 in S8, In S9, the converted readings in the document memory 15 are displayed on the display unit 18.

In addition, if you operate the Kana-Kanji conversion key after specifying the Kana character string to be converted in the input 811, the St o-812
In the process, the conversion dictionary memory 13 and the attached word dictionary memory 1
Convert kana characters to kanji by referring to 4. The readings in the conversion dictionary memory 13 are arranged in alphabetical order, and the kana-kanji conversion based on this arrangement is almost the same as the conventional one, so detailed explanation thereof will be omitted.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a device capable of converting kanji to kana, and when applied to a device that handles Japanese document data, the scope of its use can be significantly expanded.
