Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention provides a method for inputting kanji codes in a word processor or the like, and more specifically, a method for inputting kanji codes into a word processor, etc., and more specifically, by inputting a kanji code once, a wide range of kanji groups can be displayed on the screen. The present invention relates to a kanji code input method that allows a target kanji (hereinafter referred to as a target kanji) to be selected from among them.

2. Description of the Related Art Word processors and the like that have advanced in recent years are usually equipped with Kanji code input as one of their functions.

The major advantage of the kanji code input function is that it is possible to output kanji that are difficult to convert using normal kana-kanji conversion operations.

By the way, in the conventional example of code input, you first specify that you are going to use the code input function, and then write a JIS16 character that corresponds one-to-one to the target kanji at a predetermined position in the sentence.
By entering a 4-digit code number, the kanji corresponding to that code number will be inserted at the cursor position.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with this conventional code input method, if an incorrect code number is entered, the inserted kanji is deleted using the delete key or backward key, and a new code is entered from there. You must repeat the steps of specifying the input and entering the code number until the desired kanji is inserted. Moreover, even if the code number changes by just one character, you have to re-enter the code from the beginning.

Therefore, there was a problem that it took a lot of effort and time.

The causes of the above problem are: firstly, you can only input a code corresponding to one kanji in one code input, and secondly, the kanji corresponding to the input code number is inserted directly at the cursor position. For example, the user cannot insert the target kanji at the cursor position after viewing the target kanji.

The present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to enable the selection of a target kanji from a wide range of kanji, rather than just one kanji as in the past, by inputting a code once. To provide a method for inputting a kanji code by which the kanji code can be visually confirmed and then inserted at the cursor position.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention adopts the following configuration in order to solve the above problems. That is, when a Kanji code is input, a plurality of Kanji characters (hereinafter referred to as a Kanji group) that correspond one-to-one to a series of related numbers including that code number are displayed at once on the display device. Furthermore, the kanji character corresponding to the code number (excluding related numbers) of the kanji code input is displayed in reverse video. The highlighted kanji (
If the target kanji (hereinafter referred to as the target kanji) do not match, the target kanji can be selected from the kanji group while changing the target kanji using a target code change key (hereinafter referred to as a movement key), If the target kanji is not found, use the movement key again to display other kanji groups in the vicinity of the kanji group group by group on the display device, and use the movement key to select from among these kanji groups that match the target kanji. The target kanji is selected and the selected target kanji is inserted at the cursor position as the target kanji.

Effect of the present invention With the above-described configuration, a large number of kanji can be displayed on the screen with one code input, and a target kanji can be selected from among them by a simple operation of the movement keys. Even if you are unsure of the code number, if you enter a code number that is close to it, you can easily use the movement keys to find the nearby target kanji and insert it into the text.

Therefore, the trouble of searching for the target kanji by repeating code input many times as in the conventional method is eliminated, and it becomes possible to output the target kanji as a code with a faster and simpler procedure.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, a method for inputting a kanji code according to an example of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram showing an embodiment of hardware to which the present invention is applied; in the figure, 1 indicates four keys A
, B, C, D target code change keys (movement keys)
, 2 is the key input circuit for the movement key 1, and 3 is the code input circuit for the conversion mode.
There are 4-digit hexadecimal JIS code, shift JIS code, Kuten code, etc., but in this example, the 4-digit JIS code, etc.
The S code is used as a Kanji code (described later), and the Kanji code is input to the code input circuit 3.

The input kanji code is sent to the display device 6 via the display circuit 5.
will be displayed. 4 is a corresponding kanji code generation circuit, and this circuit 4 generates kanji groups of the input kanji code (a plurality of kanji characters corresponding one-to-one to the code number of the kanji code and a series of plural numbers related to that number). ) from a kanji code storage section (not shown) and display them all at once on the display device 6 via the display circuit 5. Reference numeral 7 denotes a corresponding Kanji code inversion circuit, and this circuit 7 has a function of displaying only the Kanji characters corresponding to the code number (excluding a series of related numbers) of the Kanji code input as a code in inversion. 8 refers to the currently displayed kanji code as a kanji code other than that kanji code (hereinafter referred to as the target kanji code).
, Nu) in the target kanji code change circuit,
This circuit 8 changes the input kanji code to a target kanji code according to the keystroke of the movement key 1, and displays the changed target kanji code and its kanji group on the display device 6 for each group. It has a function to encourage

9, when the target kanji (highlighted kanji) selected from the kanji code inputted in the code or the kanji group of the target kanji code matches the target kanji, the target kanji is transferred to the transfer key (not shown). ) display circuit 5
10 is a control circuit that controls all of the circuits mentioned above.

The kanji code used in this example is the kanji code table (partial excerpt) shown below as an example, and the JIS code (4-digit hexadecimal code) in the code table.
will be adopted. Further, it is assumed that the information on the kanji code table is stored in a kanji code storage section (not shown).

Therefore, the above JIS code (hereinafter referred to as Kanji code)
Based on this, the explanation will proceed with reference to the operation flowchart shown in FIG.

Margin below First, in step (hereinafter abbreviated as ST) 1, a conversion mode (JIS code in this embodiment) is designated and input into the code input circuit 3. Then, the screen of the display device 6 is switched to the initial screen display state as shown in FIG. 3 by the output signal of the display circuit 5 (8T2).

In Fig. 3, 11 is a guidance area set at the bottom of the screen, 12 is a code display area where a kanji code (4-digit number) is displayed, and 13 is a group of kanji characters in the kanji code displayed on the code display area 12. In this embodiment, the kanji group display section displays 0.1, 2, .・・・
. . . The 16 kanji of each kanji code unit corresponding to D, E, and F are displayed at once for each kanji code unit as a kanji group. Reference numeral 14 denotes a conversion mode display section, in which JIS code is displayed in this embodiment.

Next, a kanji code (for example, r3575J) is input into the code input circuit 3 (ST3). Then, Figure 4 (
As shown in a), l-3575J is displayed on the code display section 12 via the display circuit 5, and "3" is displayed on the kanji group display section ]3.
The kanji groups from ``570'' to ``357F'' are displayed at once by the action of the kanji code generation list 4 (Sr4).

At the same time, the input kanji code "3575" is displayed.
" Only the kanji character (in this case, 匪) corresponding to the code number "5" is displayed in reverse by the action of the kanji code inversion circuit 7.

Therefore, it is determined visually whether or not the highlighted kanji (target kanji) matches the target kanji (Sr
1).

If they match (YES), press the transfer key (not shown) to transfer the kanji code "3575J" to the application (S'!'6). This causes the target kanji imaginary to appear on the screen cursor. (Sr7).These operations are performed by the key input circuit 2,
This is performed by driving the transfer circuit 9, display circuit 5, etc.

On the other hand, if they do not match (N02 of Sr1), a target kanji that matches the target kanji is searched for by operating the movement key 1 (8T8).

Here, the movement keys are composed of four button keys: a date key A, a date key B, a ■ key C, a publication key D, or a Taso thousand key. Below, the four keys A, B, C, D
Each function will be explained as an example.

Therefore, it is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to this, and may be changed to one having appropriate functions.

Key A is a key that changes the currently displayed kanji code to the target kanji code and changes the reversed display of the kanji corresponding to that code number one by one to the left. It has the function of displaying the target kanji code in the upper row, displaying the kanji group at once, and inverting the terminal kanji of the kanji group at the same time (see Fig. 4 (bl to dI)).

Key B is also a key that changes the currently displayed kanji code and its highlighted display one by one to the right, and when the display range is exceeded, the target kanji code in the lower row moved down one step is displayed and It has a function that can display a group of kanji characters all at once and display the first kanji character of the kanji group at once (see FIG. 5(a)).

Key C is a dedicated function that displays the target kanji code in the upper row that is moved up one level from the currently displayed kanji code, displays the kanji group of that code all at once, and displays the terminal kanji of that kanji group in reverse. have. (Figure 5 (bl
reference).

Key D is a dedicated function that displays the target kanji code one level lower than the currently displayed kanji code, displays the kanji group of that code all at once, and displays the first kanji of the kanji group in reverse at the same time. have. (Figure 5 (C)
reference).

As mentioned above, FIG. 4(a) shows the state of the screen display when the kanji code r3575J is input as a code, and FIG. This shows the state of the screen display when the key A is pressed four times. Fig. 4 (c) shows the state of the screen display when the key A is pressed five times from the display state of Fig. 4 (a) or when the key A is pressed five times from the display state of Fig. 4 (a). ) shows the state of the screen display when the key A is pressed once. Fig. 4(d) shows the state of the screen display from the display state of Fig. 4(a).
This figure shows the state of the screen display when the key A is pressed six times from the display state of C1 or when the key A is pressed once from the display state of C1.

FIG. 5(a) shows the key B from the display state of FIG. 4(a).
Figure 5(b) shows the state of the screen display when the key C is pressed once from the display state of (al). FIG. 5(C) shows the state of the screen display when the key D is pressed once from the display state of FIG. 5(b).

As is clear from FIGS. 4(a) to (d) and FIGS. 5(a) to (C), each of the keys A, B, C, and D of the movement key 1
When you press down or touch as appropriate, the input kanji code "3575" will change to the appropriate kanji code □r357 by the action of the target kanji code change circuit 8.
1j, l-3570j, ......, and at the same time the code number of the target kanji code (for example, if the target kanji code is "3571", the code number is changed to "
In the case of a kanji character (for example, in the case of FIG. 4) that has a one-to-one correspondence with ``1''), the kanji character code inversion circuit 7 displays the character in reverse (S'L'4). In other words, the code display section 12
The kanji code currently displayed (including the target kanji coat) and the reversed display of the kanji that corresponds one-to-one to that code number are always changed and moved while maintaining a one-to-one correspondence relationship.

Therefore, if the target kanji is not found in the kanji group of the kanji code that has been input once, press the four movement keys A, 13. By simply manipulating C and D as described above, the target kanji, that is, the target kanji that matches the target kanji (the highlighted kanji) can be found from a wide range of kanji.

However, if the target kanji and target kanji match (ST5
YES) - the above s'r5. The process of ST7 is performed.

When re-inputting the kanji code, use the delete key or back key to delete the kanji code one character at a time. When all four digits are erased, the displayed 16 kanji groups are also erased.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above explanation, the present invention allows a group of kanji (for example, 16 kanji) to be displayed on the screen at once by inputting a code once, and further by operating the target code change key. In addition to the 16 kanji groups in the middle, the entire display of the kanji groups is moved to sequentially display the kanji groups (for example, 16 kanji) in the previous or later rows that are not displayed, and the desired kanji group is selected from among those kanji groups. Since the desired kanji can be selected, the desired kanji can be obtained from a wide range with simple operations, without having to repeat code input many times as in the past. This has the effect of saving time and effort in inputting Japanese, and making it possible to create documents more quickly.
