Abstract

PURPOSE:To allow an operator only to generate Japanese sentences without specifying a transmitting unit while the operator is viewing a display and to improve operability by judging KANJI(Chinese character) displayed on the display to be defined data with the operation of a character key following a converting indication key. CONSTITUTION:When the conversion key is depressed, a KANA(Japanese syllabary)/KANJI conversion dictionary is accessed from the contents of a read buffer 44 and the corresponding KANJI is stored in a conversion candidate buffer 45 and displayed on the position which a defined cursor address register 52 shows. By depressing the conversion key, candidate characters change sequentially, and when the target KANJI comes out, the operator operates the other character key. A definition detecting part 43 detects the definition and gives the effect to a display control part. The display control part 49 transfers the contents of the conversion candidate buffer 45 at that time to the file 4 of a host computer and updates the value of a definition cursor address register 51 to the actual contents of a cursor address register 52.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] The present invention relates to a display control method for a Kana-Kanji conversion terminal that converts reading input into Kanji and stores it in seven aisles of a host computer. The operator can send the kanji that has been sent to the host computer that has an echo-back function, and overwrite and display the backed-up data at the display position of the kanji sent for echo-back. By displaying the echo back data very close to the current input position above, it is easy to confirm it, and corrections do not require a large change in the input position, improving operability.

The present invention enables the transfer of Japanese tubes from a plurality of terminals to a file on a host computer without any burden on the operator. A system for document storage that stores personal document data in a file on a host computer, a system for configuring host computer files so that multiple people can refer to them at the same time, and a system for realizing a message board, and a system for exchanging data between multiple terminals. 5WL child mail system, etc., to efficiently operate the Japanese data on the host computer, especially the data after kana-kanji conversion, and to make corrections (easy and reliable transfer). is necessary.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, when storing data from a keyboard or board display terminal to a file in a host computer, first prepare the data and files to be transferred to a file on the terminal itself, and then transfer the seven files to the host computer in file units.
-I am doing the transfer in the evening. With this format, you have to have a large file on your terminal.

In addition, in a system where a program is created using a keyboard display, for example, when a program statement is displayed for one line, the operator presses the line feed key (carriage return key), and this key is used as a trigger to send the program to the host computer. I was trying to transfer data.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Transferring data to a host computer in the conventional format requires a special instruction to transfer a file or a special key called a line feed key, and operability with a keyboard is poor. In addition, there is a problem in that the file cannot be transferred to the host computer until a line break occurs, resulting in delayed transfer timing. Furthermore, in a system that adopts the echo pack method in which the host computer reads the contents stored in a file on one host computer again, sends it back to the keyboard/display terminal, and displays the read contents, the confirmation unit is There was a problem that the area specified by the cursor was in a large area and could not be easily corrected.

[Means for solving problems]

FIG. 1 is a principle diagram and a block diagram of the display control system of the Kanu-Kanji conversion terminal of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a stupid Kanji conversion terminal, 2 is a host computer system, 3 is an echo pack function, 4 is a host combination, and a data file.

Characters representing pronunciations (hiragana or romaji) input by the operator from the keyboard are stored in the pronunciation buffer and displayed on the display. In response to a conversion instruction from the keyboard, the kana-kanji conversion processing section displays candidate kanji corresponding to the kana in the reading buffer on the display. If the desired kanji is not the desired kanji because it is a homophone, the conversion instruction key is further displayed on the light display. When the desired kanji is displayed on the display, the operator operates the character keys to input the next character. By operating a single character key following this conversion instruction key operation, the kanji displayed on the display is determined to be fixed data, and the transfer control section 1 sends the kanji character, which is fixed data, to the file 4 of the host computer 2. The host computer 2 uses the echo function 3 to echo the contents stored in the file 4 to the kana-kanji conversion terminal 1. The kana-kanji conversion terminal 1 receives this and displays it superimposed on the candidate kanji.

[Effect]

While looking at the display, the operator presses the character key KZ.
Enter sputum, convert it to kanji using the conversion instruction key, and when the desired kanji is displayed on the display, operate the character keys for the next input.The input data is confirmed in the kanji conversion terminal 1. Each time, the nuclear data is automatically transferred to the 7eye/I/4 of the host combiator 2, and the contents of the echo pack are superimposed on the candidate kanji on the display. This is very close to the input position, and it is easy to correct it, as it only requires returning the input position a little.

〔Example〕

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the configuration of a Japanese processing system consisting of a kana-kanji conversion terminal and a host computer. Input data from the kana-kanji conversion terminal 1 is sent to the cost computer system 2 via the modem 101 and line 11. In the host computer system 1, this sent data is sent via the modem 122 and communication processing unit 13 to the central processing unit 14, which is a file called DAS.
D (direct access storage device) 4.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an overview of the data flow of the present invention. The data from the keyboard of the Kana-Kanji conversion dictionary technician is displayed on the display when it is not finalized, and when the data confirmation is detected by the confirmation detection section 8, the confirmed data is stored in the file 4 of the host computer. This stored content is immediately read out and echoed back to the kana-kanji conversion terminal, and the echoed back content is superimposed and displayed on the display 7 at the kanji position sent to the host. Therefore, the characters entered by the operator are stored in a file on the host computer without any special instructions from the operator, and the contents displayed on the display used by the operator are It will be displayed on the display 7 in use.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the control process of the keyboard/display terminal of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram of operations in which characters on the display, buffer contents, etc. change according to key operations.

In the figure, 41 is a keyboard, 42 is a key determination unit, 4
3 is a data confirmation detection means, 44 is a reading buffer, 45 is a conversion candidate buffer, 46 is a temporary kanji conversion unit, 47 is a display, 48 is a display data saving buffer, 49 is a display control unit, 50 is a screen buffer, and 51 is a confirmation unit. Cursor address register, 52, current cursor address register, 5
3 is an echo start cursor address register.

The pressed state of the keyboard 41 is detected by the key determination unit 42, and if it is a reading, the data is stored in the reading buffer, and if it is a control key, it is controlled as a predetermined control signal. The output of the key determination section 42 is monitored by the confirmation detection means 43, and when it is determined that the key is confirmed, the display control section 49 is notified. Each time data enters the reading buffer 44, the display control unit 49 saves the contents of the screen position indicated by the current cursor address register 52 to the save buffer 48, stores the contents of the reading buffer, and stores the contents of the current cursor address register. Add 1 to the content.

When the conversion key is pressed, the kana-kanji conversion dictionary is accessed using the contents of the reading buffer 44, the corresponding suspension is stored in the conversion candidate buffer 45, and the skeleton kanji is displayed at the position indicated by the W-set fy-tsuru address register 52. At the same time,
The contents of the current cursor address register are set to a value equal to the contents of the confirmed cursor address register plus the number of Kanji characters as a result of conversion, and the characters in the save register that exceed this number are returned to the screen buffer 50.

This process is repeated each time the conversion key is pressed.

By pressing this conversion key, the candidate kanji changes sequentially, and when the desired kanji is reached, the operator operates another character key, so the confirmation detection section 43 detects the confirmation and sends a notification to that effect to the display control section. The display control unit 49 transfers the contents of the change candidate buffer 45 at that time to the file 4 of the host computer, and updates the value of the fixed cursor address register 51 to the contents of the current cursor address register 52.

Thereafter, the same control is repeated for key human power.

The host computer updates the DASD with the data sent from this kana-kanji conversion terminal, reads it out, and sends it back to the same kana-kanji conversion terminal. On the returned device,
The returned data is stored from the position indicated by the echo start cursor address register 53, and when the storage is completed, it is updated to a value that matches the contents of the confirmed cursor address register 51.

The above operation will be explained below using FIG. 5.

(1) rXABcDEFJ is displayed at display positions 9 to 15 on the display 47, and the cursor is at 1
It is located at address 0, that is, rAJ. In this state, the host
Address 10 is stored in both the confirmed cursor address register 51, which indicates that the echo start cursor address register 5λ data indicating the next address to be sent to the combiator is confirmed, and the current cursor address register 52.

(2) When the operator inputs “J r!
The kana is stored at addresses 4 and 10 to 13, and r4BCDJ is stored in the save buffer 48. The cursor is incremented by +1 for each character input, so the value is "14", and the cursor is above rEJ.

When the conversion key is operated here, the kana-kanji conversion dictionary section 4
6 stores the kanji character "kyoha" corresponding to the content "kyoha" in the reading buffer 44 in the conversion candidate buffer 45. Because there are two characters, the contents of the current cursor address register 52 are changed to “10”, which is the contents of the final cursor address register 51.
2" is added and updated by "12"k, and rDJ and "C" in the save buffer 48 are returned to addresses 13 and 12, respectively. “Kyo” and “sect” are stored at addresses 10 and 11,
Display 47: “The display changes to the X sect CDEFJ.

(3) Since "sect" is not the desired kanji, the operator further presses the conversion key. Next, the three characters "Today" are entered into the conversion candidate buffer 45, the step cursor address register becomes "13", and the value in the save pad 48 becomes [BCJ].

(4) Since the desired kanji is displayed, the operator inputs ``Kyou wa'' k and <``龜''. At this point, the confirmation detection means determines that the display data is confirmed, and
On the other hand, "Today" is sent out, "4" is stored in the reading bar 44, the content rDJ at address 13 is stored in the save buffer 48, and rxJ is stored at address 13. The contents of the confirmed cursor address register 51 are “
13'', and the contents of the current cursor address register 52 are incremented by 1 to become ``14''. In other words, the display is
Today it will display YOEFEND, and the cursor will be on the letter E.

(5) At this point, when the host computer receives the echo back of ``Today'', it stores ``Today'' from address 10 indicated by the echo start cursor address register 53, and the contents of the register 53 are finalized. Stores the value of address register 51.

In the above control, from the start of data transmission to the host,
If the address 2 indicated by the echo start cursor address register 53 is unlined until the echo back is received, the operator can be notified that the data is being transferred to the host.

If some kind of error occurs between the host and the terminal, the echoed back contents will be different, and moreover, the part immediately before the operator's input will be displayed incorrectly. However, since it is the immediately preceding part, the error can be found quickly and easily, and since it is close to the current input area, it can be easily corrected by moving the cursor.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, when sending Japanese data from a keyboard/display terminal to a file on a host computer, the operator can simply create Japanese sentences while looking at the display, without having to instruct the units to send each time. This improves operability and improves processing.

Furthermore, since the target kanji data is sent after performing kana-kanji conversion, the host computer does not have any special processing for Japanese processing (for example, kana-kanji conversion processing), but it simply receives the data. All it needs is an echo pack function to send things back, and the existing system can be fully utilized.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the dotted line format was used during host transmission, but once spaces were embedded,
Of course, it is also possible to newly write the echoed contents.
