Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the management of a KANA (Japanese syllabary)-KANJI (Chinese character) conversion function and the operability on usage by displaying the reading of the first word and that of the last word at plural word blocks and displaying the content of the said indicated word block according to the display indication of one word block within the displayed blocks. CONSTITUTION:When the display indication of an index block is inputted from a keyboard 1, a dictionary display means 10 displays index block information within a word dictionary memory 9 or the index block information read out from a disc device 4 on a CRT display part 3. Next, on the CRT display part 3, for example, in a state that a cursor K is placed at a portion being interposed between block numbers including the said word or the displays of the reading of the first word at the block and that of the last word, the display indication of a word block from the keyboard 1 is inputted. The dictionary display means 10 displays the indicated word block information within the word dictionary memory 9 or the indicated word block information read out from the disc device 4 on the CRT display part 3.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a document creation device, and more particularly to a document creation device equipped with a kana-kanji conversion function.

[Prior technology] Currently, most Japanese word processors use "kana-kanji"
It has an automatic conversion function. With this type of device, the operator inputs the ``yomi'' of kanji from the keyboard into ``kana characters.''
By inputting the ``kana characters'', the ``kana characters'' will be displayed on the display. Next, if you want to convert the entered "kana characters" to "kanji", press the "conversion key". Then, for example, if there are two or more words that have the "yomi" of the input "kana characters", all of them will be displayed as "candidates", or some of them will be displayed as "candidates" depending on the display screen. . Further, when the operator selects one of the candidates on the display section, the inputted "kana character" is replaced with the selected "kanji", thereby achieving the purpose of kana-kanji conversion.

In general, word dictionaries for kana-kanji conversion include "kana characters".
The "reading part" consisting of the "reading part", the "kanji part" of the word corresponding to the "reading part", the "grammar information" of the word, etc. are stored. Such word dictionaries are usually stored in an auxiliary storage device such as a floppy disk, and are divided into blocks of consecutive "readings" for each input/output unit of the auxiliary storage device (for example, in the case of a tisf, each sector). Managed. Although standard words are stored in advance in such a word dictionary, it is also possible to add new words to this word dictionary. However, since the word dictionary has a finite capacity, there is a limit to the number of words that can be stored in each block. for example"
If you keep adding words that start with "A", you will eventually exceed the capacity of the block and you will no longer be able to add new words.

Conventionally, when there was a request to add or delete such a word, the operator referred to the word block that should contain the word by the "yomi" of the first word or the "yomi" of the last word. This is inconvenient because the operator must know the "yomi" of the first word or the "yomi" of the last word of the word block. Also, while creating a document, it is usually possible to understand the shape of the kanji from the manuscript, but
If you do not know the correct reading, you will not be able to input the kanji conversion. However, in the past, even if you had some idea of the "yomi", you had to know the "yomi" of the first word or the "yomi" of the last word in the word block that should contain the word. This was inconvenient as I had to refer to the separate book ``Kana-Kanji Conversion'' - Keno.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] An object of the present invention is to provide a document creation device with improved operability in management and use of the above-mentioned "kana-kanji" conversion function.

[Means for Solving the Problem] As a means for solving this problem, for example, the document creation device of the embodiment shown in FIG. , a word block that stores information on multiple words in which at least a kana code reading is paired with a corresponding kanji code, and a word block that stores the readings of the first word and the last word of each of the multiple word blocks. displaying at least the pronunciation of the first word and the pronunciation of the last word of each of the plurality of word blocks on the CRT display section 3 according to the display designation input of the index block from the keyboard 1; The dictionary display means 10 is provided for displaying the contents of the specified word block on the CRT display section 3 in accordance with the display designation input of one word block among the index block displays from 1 to 1.

[Operation] In the configuration shown in FIG. 1, when an index block display designation input is input from the keyboard I, the dictionary display means 10 displays the index block information in the word dictionary memory 9 or the index read out from the disk device 4. - Display the block information on the CRT display section 3 as shown in FIG. Next, on the CRT display section 3, place the cursor K on the block number containing the word, or on the part between the display of the reading of the first word and the reading of the last word of the block, and press the keyboard 1. When there is a word block display designation input from , the dictionary display means 10 displays the designated word block information in the word dictionary memory 9 or the designated word block information read from the disk device 4 on the CRT as shown in FIG. Displayed in Section 3.

[Examples] Examples of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a document creation device according to an embodiment. In the figure, 1 is a keyboard that inputs characters and specifies device operations, and 2 is a central processing unit (C) that performs various calculations and logical decisions related to document creation and dictionary display.
PU), which consists of a ROM that stores the program and fixed data shown in Figure 7, and a RAM necessary for executing the program (for example, a RAM used as a work area or as a temporary storage area for input documents). It includes a memory 6 and a word dictionary memory 9 used as a word dictionary reading buffer. 3 is a CRT display unit for displaying input documents and the contents of a word dictionary, and 4 is a disk device as an auxiliary storage device, in which a word dictionary for kana-kanji conversion and input documents are stored. Stored. 5 is a printer for outputting documents and the like.

Furthermore, various functional blocks are shown within the CPU 2 that are realized by executing programs. Reference numeral 7 denotes a document creation means for creating a document according to key human power; 8 is activated by the designation of "Kana-Kanji conversion" and reads the relevant "yomi" from the word dictionary memory 9 or, if necessary, from the word dictionary in the disk device 4;
A kana-to-kanji conversion means 9 reads out one or more kanji corresponding to , and 9 reads and stores a part of the entire dictionary in the disk device 4 to speed up the kana-to-kanji conversion, and a dictionary block to be described later. A word dictionary memory 10 is a dictionary display means for displaying block information classified by "reading" of the word dictionary.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the structure of a word dictionary for kana-to-kanji conversion. The word dictionary consists of an index block and
It consists of word blocks 1 to n. As shown in FIG. 3, the index block stores the "yomi" of the first word and the "yomi" of the last word of each word block 1 to n. In addition, each word block is a "reading part" of a plurality of words in which kana characters are arranged consecutively in the order of, for example, "A, I, U,..." as shown in FIGS. 4 and 9. "and,
It consists of the ``grammatical information'' that accompanies the word and the ``kanji code string'' of the word. Furthermore, the "vacant area" at the end of the word block is an area for registering new words, and this vacant area increases or decreases as words are registered or unnecessary words are deleted. Furthermore, the index block in FIG. 3 also has an "empty area" where word blocks can be registered and deleted.

For example, when deleting a word in this word dictionary, the word is removed from the word block that includes the "yomibu" of the word, and each subsequent word in the word block is moved forward. An example of this is shown in FIG. 5. If the word to be deleted is the i-th word in the word block, that word is deleted, and the i+1st and subsequent words are moved forward. Therefore, this increases the free area of the word block by one. Conversely, when adding a new word to the word dictionary, the position where the word should be stored (for example, ``A, I, U, ・
) is determined according to the order of ``...''. In FIG. 6, when a new word falls between the i-1th and i-th word blocks, the new word is inserted at the i-th position, and the conventional words after the i-th position are left behind. As a result, the free area of the word block decreases by one.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure for word-wise display. When the word dictionary list process is designated from the keyboard 1, an index block of the word dictionary is read out in step S1.

In step S2, the contents of the read index block are edited into data for displaying the dictionary table of contents screen, including the number of the word block, the pronunciation of the first word of each car language block, and the pronunciation of the last word of each car language block. and step S
3, it is displayed on the CRT display section 3. In FIG. 8, for example, "1" is the block number, "A" is the block l
The first reading is ``red'', the last reading is ``K'', and K is the cursor.In steps S4 and S5, input from the keyboard 1 is waited for, and if the key is a cursor movement key, the process proceeds to step S6, to move cursor K on the dictionary table of contents screen up/down/left/right.

If it is a selection key, the process proceeds to step S7, where the block number of the word block to be displayed is determined from the current cursor position, and the word block is read out at step S8. In step S9, the reading part, grammatical information, and kanji code of each word in the read word block are edited into data for the word list screen, and in step SIO, the data is displayed on the CRT display unit 3 as shown in Figure 9. do. In FIG. 9, "a" represents the "reading part" of the word, "noun" represents the "grammatical information" of the word, and "a" represents the "kanji" of the word. Steps Sll and S12 wait for an input from the keyboard 1, and if all the words in the word block cannot be displayed on one screen, step 5 is performed by inputting the previous screen/next screen key.
Proceed to step 13 to switch the displayed page.

In the above-described embodiment, the word block to be displayed on the dictionary table of contents screen is indicated by the cursor, but instead of this, the block number may be directly entered manually.

In addition, it may be possible to distinguish between "standard words" registered in advance in the dictionary and "registered words" added later by the operator using grammatical information, or when displaying the contents of a word block. It is also possible to display only "registered words".

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, word blocks can be easily traced even when the "pronunciation" of a word is not clearly known, so the operability of word dictionary management and document creation is greatly improved. improves.
