Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce storage capacity and to make index forming work efficient by previously forming an index dictionary. CONSTITUTION:A processor 4 extracts a document specified by an input device from a memory device 5, displays the document on a display device 1 and edits the document in accordance with a processing request inputted from the input device 2. The index dictionary stores documents as a part of a document like a document 6 or as a document only for the index dictionary like a document 7. Prior to the formation of indexes, the index dictionary is formed. At the formation of the index dictionary, the reading of an index is inputted from the input device 2 and the index is sorted in the order of the reading and registered in the index dictionary.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a document processing system such as a word processor, and in particular to automatic index creation in a document processing system suitable for automatically generating an index for a specified document. Regarding the generation method.

[Conventional technology]

Japanese sentence processing systems, typified by word processors, are becoming polarized into advanced types and low 1 flexural simplified types, and it is thought that the advanced types will be increasingly integrated with the Indo-tri # version system. Therefore, automatic generation of indexes is an essential function in document processing systems.

However, the current state of index generation still relies heavily on manual work by humans looking at documents.

Among these, methods for automatically generating indexes in document processing systems that are currently known include, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 60-147
There is one described in Publication No. 879.

If there is a word to be used as an index word while creating an alternating current, an identification code is inserted before and after the word, a sentence is created, and the sentence is stored in a storage device. Once input into the document processing system is completed, the sentences stored in memory # are allocated to pages.

Next, the sentence stored in memory acquisition d is read out, index=yy is examined, and extracted. The extracted index word and the page where it exists are associated with each other, and the index word and the page where it exists are added to the 1) @Setsu note and v4 collection is added to the index. Next, the identification code in the text is removed, the text is printed, and the edited index is printed. The conventional automatic index generation method was as described above. Because the code had to be inserted each time, it took time to generate the index, and although it was possible to automatically generate an index for two sentences that were created at once using a word processor or other document processing system, ICs were created multiple times. There is no consideration given to the point of combining a group of sentences to generate an index as a group of sentences, and when creating individual sentences using a word processor etc. It takes a lot of effort to generate an index in cases where a group of sentences is a lucky sentence, and the index generation work is inefficient.Moreover, the storage device required to store the information to be added to the index is difficult. There was a problem that led to the increase of 1.

Furthermore, even in the case of index generation for - number of sentences, in the conventional technology, it is necessary to add identification codes to all index words in the sentences, so it is necessary to add identification codes to the index words in the process of creating the sentences. There is a risk that index terms may be missing due to failure to add a code, and there is a problem that the accuracy of index generation is lacking.

The purpose of the invention is to improve the efficiency of index generation work, and to reduce the storage capacity of memory, which is indispensable for storing information related to the index. And the accuracy of index generation? The second part provides an automatic generation method for securing indexes.

[Biomembrane to solve the problem]

If you are using a sentence processing system that can assign pages to sentences, and create an index consisting of an index word (index word) and its pronunciation in advance, and then generate the index, Index Dictionary - 7I71) Search the index word in the text, match the page number where the index word exists, sort the index word by reading and kana, and generate the index by yourself/help. I do. Also, index word 4! : can be applied as is or with some changes to create an index for another document. To chew,
1 Create a fixed index dictionary in advance, adjust the page number of each index so that a unified page number corresponds to each automatically generated index, and add a single a = index number. generate.

Is the purpose of the present invention the above-mentioned solution? :Achieved by applying.

[Effect]

The method of generating an index in a document processing system is to first register the index word and its pronunciation in an index dictionary, and in some cases, if there is already an index dictionary for documents in the same field as the document to be indexed, copy that dictionary. or modify the index dictionary to suit the new document (newly created index dictionary 4)
:￥ Based on 2, search for existing index words in the document,
An uninvented automatic index generation method that automatically generates an index by associating the existing page numbers and rearranging the index words in the order of pronunciation operates as described above.

〔Example〕

An example of infrarenal-Kikenaki'fX-Relative 1 will be explained with reference to FIG.

In Fig. 1, 1 is a display device such as a display that displays text, 2 is an input device such as a keyboard that inputs text, 3 is a printing device such as a printer that outputs text or an index on paper, and 4 is a text processing or a processing device that generates an index, 5
1 is a storage device that stores a sentence meaning index and an index dictionary, 6 is a document that has an index dictionary, 7 is a document that only has an index dictionary, and 8 is a document that does not have an index dictionary.

The processing device 4 retrieves the document specified by the input device 2 from the storage device 5, displays the sentence * on the display device 1,
Furthermore, the document is processed according to the processing request from the input @rjjt2.

The index dictionary may be stored as part of a document, such as document 6 stored in memory 5, or may be stored as a document containing only the index dictionary, such as document 7. Before creating an index, first create an index dictionary.

To create an index dictionary, index words and their pronunciations are inputted from the input device 2, sorted in the order of pronunciations, and registered in the index dictionary. Index words can be input directly from the input device 2, or by displaying a document on the display device 1, specifying a word in the displayed document using the input device 2, and then inputting the pronunciation of the word. You can also enter Sato, the index dictionary is
With the index dictionary maintenance function of the document processing system in the processing device 4, it is also possible to copy and reuse a part of an existing index dictionary. This allows you to use the index dictionary for multiple sentences, so you can use the index dictionary for multiple sentences. It does not take much time to create it one by one. To create an index, the processing device 4 uses the main text of sentence 4F6 specified by the input device 2 and the index dictionary, and associates the index word registered in the index dictionary with the page of the main text in which it exists. That is, the number of the corresponding page is added to the index word, and finally, the index is sorted and outputted in the document 6 as an index of the document 6 according to the pronunciation of Go, thereby creating an index.

The index of the document 6, like the main text, can be edited as part of the document using the document processing system in the processing device 4.

Indexes can be created in two ways: interactive processing and batch processing. In the case of interactive processing, an index word is displayed and found from a certain text, and the page is displayed on the display device 1,
The user selects whether to associate the page with the index word and use it as an index, and processes the selection instruction from the input device Cho-2. In the case of batch processing, all the pages in which the index word exists are associated with the index and generated as an index. In this case, after the index creation process is completed, the document processing system in processing device #4 is used to edit the index of document 6, for example, to delete suspicious portions.

When creating an index, you can copy as many index dictionaries as necessary and specify multiple index dictionaries. Therefore, in sentence 4B, if you want to create an index dictionary using both the index word of sentence 46 and the index word of document 7. can generate an index by specifying the index dictionaries for document 6 and sentence #7, copying the respective index dictionaries, and combining them to create an index dictionary for document 8. Furthermore, when an index dictionary exists for a document, for example, document 6 or document 16, the index can be generated by using the index dictionary 4 that already exists in document B.

Furthermore, when individual sentences created by a document processing system are combined into a series of sentences, an index word 4 is created using the index words that are considered to be related to all the individual sentences and their pronunciations. Then, based on the maintenance processing function of the processing device, as many index dictionaries as there are sentences are copied so that they can be used as index dictionaries for each sentence, and each index dictionary is used to create an index for each sentence. 1) At this time, all pages are assigned a uniform page number according to the number 1) 0 of each sentence, and the page numbers of each sentence itself that is attached to the index are corrected and unified. Make the page actionable. Then, the individual indexes are integrated and concentrated to generate one index for a series of sentences.

According to this embodiment, the index word 4 is created in advance, and the index word 4 registered in the index dictionary is searched from a sentence with a page layout, and the corresponding page number is added to search for the index word. Since the index is generated automatically, the efficiency of the index generation work is improved, and the storage capacity of the storage device required to store the information to be included in the index can be reduced. Also, create an index in advance! Since the value is set to -2, there is no possibility that the index word will be missing, and the index will be generated accurately. Furthermore, if we combine individual sentences into a series of sentences, we can create an index word -iI that is common to the whole sentence group.
Since this can be copied and used to generate an index for a single sentence, there is also the effect of improving the efficiency of index generation for a series of sentences.

[Visit of the invention] According to the present invention, the index word of the index dictionary is used as the key,
Since an index can be automatically generated by searching the middle of a sentence and asking for the page number corresponding to a purple index word, there is an effect of improving the efficiency of index generation work. In addition, by copying the index dictionary, you can easily create indexes for multiple sentences, so you can save time and effort. There is @Shu, which will decrease SIJ.
