JPS62233878A - Method for writing phonetic transcription in kana - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a desired sentence with high efficiency by outputing plural types of KANJI (Chinese characters)-KANA (Japanese syllabary) sentences containing phonetic transcriptions in KANA written at the side of some KANJIs from a single KANJI-KANA sentence. CONSTITUTION:A control means 1 is provided together with a KANJI-KANA character string reading means 2, a KANJI learning level deciding means 3, a means 4 writing phonetic transcriptions in KANA at the side of KANJI, a KANJI-KANA character string memory means 5, a KANJI learning level memory means 6, and a KANJI reading memory means 7. A KANJI-KANA character string is inputted and the learning levels of all KANJI included in said character string are decided. Then the decided learning level is compared with a prescribed set level and the phonetic transcriptions are shown in KANA at the side of the KANJI under prescribed conditions. Thus the character string containing the phonetic transcriptions in KANA is outputted. As a result, it is not needed to produce previously any redundant sentence in response to each user.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention provides furigana for the kanji portion of a character string containing kanji and kana that is output to a display device, printer, etc. in a system that performs Japanese processing such as a word processor. Concerning how to add furigana.

(Prior art) In recent years, due to the lower prices and higher functionality of personal computers, the use of personal computers has not only been limited to offices and other OA fields, but has also spread to schools and other fields.・Education using computers, called "instruction", is becoming popular.

This is not a problem when dealing with general documents, such as in work in the OA field, but when personal computers are used for education in elementary schools or kindergartens, as mentioned above, the Japanese text output on the display device is not a problem. In other words, it is desirable that the character string containing kanji and kana be created so that it can be read by users such as kindergarteners, elementary school students, and second-hand students. In other words, it is desirable that the learning level of kanji that the user learns at school.

An example of a material that specifically divides the kanji learned in elementary school into each grade is the ``Dictionary of Kanji Writing for Elementary School Students'' published by Gakushu Kenkyusha (8th edition published on January 21, 1985). Figure 2 shows part of this content. According to this, "science",
``School J is a kanji learned in the first grade, [Yomi J, ``Answer''
is a kanji to be learned in second grade, ``ma'' and ``r'' are kanji to be learned in third grade, and ``brush 1'' and ``ren J'' are kanji to be learned in fourth grade.

Conventionally, when outputting text to a display device, printer, etc., a method has been adopted in which the content of the document file is output as is. In other words, in the conventional method, for example, in order to post the same question "Please read this question carefully and answer" to kindergarten children and elementary school students, it is necessary to post the same question for kindergarten children (Example 1).
For second-grade elementary school students, a sentence with furigana added to all kanji as shown in (Example 2) is a sentence with furigana added to the kanji that they have not yet learned, as shown in (Example 2).
For grade-grade students, we create sentences tailored to their learning level, such as sentences without furigana (Example 3), and present them while selecting them as appropriate to suit the user.

Read this question carefully and answer (Example 1) Read this question carefully and answer (Example 2) Read this question carefully and answer (Example 3) Above In the example above, the furigana is added after the kanji, but it would probably be more common to add the furigana above the kanji.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) In the conventional method, the sentence (Example 1) is written for kindergarten children, the sentence (Example 2) is written for second grade elementary school students, and the sentence (Example 2) is written for third grade elementary school students. 3) It is necessary to prepare redundant sentences in advance to suit the user, which is very time-consuming and has the drawback of increasing the storage area.

The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, and to prepare at most one type of kanji-kana mixed sentence (it is sufficient to prepare at most one type of kanji-kana mixed sentence, and to write the kanji part of this kanji-kana mixed sentence to
To provide a furigana adding method capable of adding furigana to output according to the educational level of users such as elementary school students.

(Means for solving the problem) According to the present invention, when outputting a character string containing kanji and kana, the above-mentioned kanji and kana mixed character string is input, and all kanji included in the kanji and kana mixed character string are output. By determining the learning level of the kanji, comparing the determined learning level with the preset kanji level, and outputting the furigana according to the preset furigana adding conditions, one kanji A method for attaching furigana to a mixed sentence can be obtained by adding furigana to part of the kanji and outputting a mixed sentence containing multiple types of kanji and kana.

(Example) The structure and operation of the present invention will be explained using the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention.

In Figure 1, 1 is a control means for controlling the overall flow, 2 is a reading means for reading a string of characters containing kanji and kana, and 3 is for determining the learning level of kanji. 4 is a kanji furigana adding means for adding furigana to kanji, and 5 is a kanji/kana mixed character string storage means for storing a kanji/kana mixed character string. Reference numeral 6 denotes a kanji learning level storage means, which has at least the notation of each kanji and a learning level indicating in which grade this kanji is learned, and is referred to by the kanji learning level determining means 3. Reference numeral 7 denotes a kanji reading storage means, which has at least the notation of words composed of kanji and their readings, and is referred to by the kanji furigana assigning means 4.

Next, the operation of this example is to convert the character string (Example 3) containing kanji and kana to the character string "Please read this question carefully and answer" to the character string (example 2) containing kanji and kana, which is at the kanji learning level of a second grade elementary school student. Let's take the example of converting the first question to "Read the Monda question and answer" as an example.

It is assumed that the character string containing kanji and kana in (Example 3) is previously stored in the character string storage means 5 containing kanji and kana. Further, the kanji furigana adding means 4 contains information ``'2'' indicating the level of ``elementary school second grade'' as the desired kanji level.
′ is sent. Furthermore, as part of the kanji learning level storage means 6 is shown in FIG. 2, for each kanji, the kanji notation is used as a heading, and the grade in which this kanji is studied is stored in association with the header. shall be taken as a thing. Furthermore, in the kanji reading storage means 7, ``words that fit in ``ma1'' include ``1 ken 1'', [interview 1.1 question 1, r question and answer j, etc.] with their respective pronunciations [toi 1, ``monshin J'', [monshin j, [monshin j, Dai 1, ``
It is assumed that it is registered in association with Mondo 1st class. This correspondence is ``For problem j, [not a correspondence of kanji character strings and kana character strings like Mondai j, but 1 ma +
For Problem 1, [assume that it is possible to associate individual kanji with their pronunciations, such as mon + dai 1.

First, the kanji-kana-mixed character string reading means 2 stores the kanji-kana-mixed character string into the memory means 5 (Example 3)
) Kanji/kana mixed character string f Read this question carefully and answer 1 is read and sent to the kanji learning level determining means 3. The kanji learning level determining means 3 checks whether the sent character string is a kanji in order from the first character, and when a character that is a kanji is added as an older character, the kanji learning level determining means 3 determines which kanji this character is by referring to the kanji learning level storage means 6. It is determined whether the kanji is learned in the grade and the learning level is associated with this kanji. In this example, r I'! JIJ, [title], “reading j,”
The four characters in answer 1 are found as kanji, and by referring to the kanji learning level storage means 6, 1 ma 1 and ``Title 1 is a kanji learned in the third grade of elementary school, r reading J and 1 answer 1 are kanji learned in elementary school. It can be seen that these are the kanji that will be learned in second grade.Once all the kanji included in the read character string have been mapped to the learning level, each of the characters in the A-kana-mixed character string (as shown in Example 4) The result of associating the learning level with the kanji is sent to the kanji reading means 4. In (Example 4), [nl indicates the learning level, that is, the grade to be studied; for example, [3] is the kanji to be learned in the third grade of elementary school. It shows that.

During this time, read [3] Problem [3] carefully and give [2] Answer [2] (Example 4) Kanji furigana assignment method 4 has a learning level higher than the kanji level set in advance as a furigana assignment condition. The user examines the kanji, retrieves the reading of the kanji while searching the kanji reading storage means 7, and adds furigana to the kanji. In this case, the desired kanji level is set in the kanji furigana assigning means 4 to 2pa, which indicates the level of a second grade elementary school student. Therefore, the kanji furigana assigning means 4 compares this kanji level ``2''' with the learning levels of the four kanji included in (Example 4), and finds the kanji ``Yomi J'' and ``Yomi J'' that match the desired kanji level. ``Answer'' does not include furigana, and ``1 kanji that does not match the desired kanji level'' and 1 question 1
Furigana is given to the character by referring to the kanji reading storage means 7. That is, the kanji character string f problem J starting with the kanji "ma" which does not meet the desired kanji level described above matches the heading r problem 1 of the kanji reading storage means 7, and the corresponding reading "mondai 1" is obtained. As a result, as shown in (Example 2), a character string containing kanji and kana that is at the kanji learning level of a second-year elementary school student is obtained: ``Read this question (Mondai) carefully and answer 1.''

Also, although it is not in the above example, [as in the case of question and answer J, r
Since Ma J does not meet his learning level, he is given furigana and [
If you do not want to add Furigana because Answer 1 is appropriate for your learning level, use the correspondence between individual kanji and their pronunciations in the kanji reading storage means 7 mentioned above. It can be converted as follows.

In addition to the above-mentioned furigana assignment conditions, the kanji furigana attaching means 4 can extract kanji whose learning level matches a desired kanji level set in advance, or extract all kanji at a level other than the desired kanji level, or It is also conceivable to extract only kanji whose learning level is below the kanji level.

For example, as a condition for adding furigana, extracting kanji whose learning level matches the preset kanji level and outputting them with furigana can be used as answers for kanji pronunciation tests, and can be effective for kanji learning. Demonstrate.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, according to the present invention, by preparing at most one type of kanji/kana mixed character string, this kanji/kana mixed character string can be adjusted to suit the desired kanji learning level. Since it is possible to convert and output a character string containing various kanji and kana characters with furigana added, it is possible to efficiently obtain desired sentences by eliminating redundant sentence creation and storage space.

In addition, it not only converts kanji into readings so that the user can read them, but also has the effect of learning kanji because both kanji and furigana are output.
