Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain the registration of an intensified composite word into a user dictionary by an index intensified by an operator by designing a constitution that an index word memory device stores indexes intensified by the operator. CONSTITUTION:A character string is inputted from an input device 1 and a converter 2 applies KANJI (Chinese character) by sing a system dictionary 5 and a user dictionary 6. When the conversion is succeeded, the character string is sent to a memory device 3, an output device 4 and a synthesis device 14. When the conversion is failed, a signal representing it is sent from the device 2 to the device 14. When the signal received in the registration mode is KANJI only and a KANJI buffer 11 and an index buffer 12 are cleared, then a command is given to a buffer management device 13 to give a character string into the buffer 12. When the buffers 11, 12 are not cleared, a registration signal is given to a registration device 8, which registers a composite word comprising a KANJI string in the buffer 11 and a KANJI string received newly and an index comprising a KANA (Japanese syllabary) in the buffer 12 and a KANA string inputted newly into the user dictionary 6.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a kana-kanji conversion device, and particularly to a kana-kanji conversion device having a compound word learning function.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a conventional kana-kanji conversion device disclosed, for example, in Japanese Patent Application No. 150629/1982. In the figure, (1) is an input device such as a keyboard, (2) a conversion device that performs ephemeral kanji conversion, and (3)
is a storage device that stores converted characters, (4) is an output device that displays converted characters, and (5) is a conversion device (2).
This dictionary is used to perform Gakana-Kanji conversion (hereinafter referred to as the system dictionary) and is shared by all operators. (6)
is because the conversion device (2) performs kana-kanji conversion.

(hereinafter referred to as user dictionary), which each operator owns individually and in which compound words, abbreviations, etc. can be registered. (7) is a dictionary management device that manages the contents of the user dictionary (6), and registers and deletes abbreviations and the like in the user dictionary (6) based on requests from the operator. (8) is a registration device for registering compound words; (9) is a buffer for temporarily storing the previously input kana character string and converted kanji in order to register compound words; α0) is a compound word management device that deletes unnecessary compound words from the compound words registered in the user dictionary (6) based on information about their frequency of use and the like.

Next, the operation will be explained. When a kana character string is input from the input device (1), the conversion device (2) converts the system dictionary (
5) and the user dictionary (6) to convert this kana character string into kanji. And the converted string is stored in the storage device (
3) and is displayed on the output device (4). At the same time, the converted character string is sent to the registration device (8)
Also sent to. If the converted character string consists only of Kanji characters, the registration device (8) refers to the buffer (9). If the buffer (9) is cleared (memory is erased), the registration device (8) stores the input kana character string and the converted character string in the buffer (9).
to be memorized. If the buffer (9) is not cleared, a compound word is formed together with the kana character string stored in the buffer (9) and the converted character string, and this compound word is stored in the user dictionary (6). Register and clear buffer (9). If the converted character string sent from the conversion device (2) contains symbols other than kanji, such as hiragana, katagana, "?", "!", spaces, etc., the registration device (8) It does not register in the dictionary (6), but only clears Ba Sofa (9). Therefore, a compound word is registered in the user dictionary (6) only when two consecutive input kana character strings are converted into only kanji. For example, if you enter "shohou" and "shiyori" in succession, they will be converted to "information" and "processing," respectively, and "
The compound word "information processing" is registered in the user dictionary (6). Note that the buffer (9) is cleared at this point, so even if the user inputs "Sochi" next time, the compound word "information processing device" will not be registered in the user dictionary (6).

In this way, the compound words registered in the user dictionary (6) include words that the operator did not expect due to input errors or words that are not often used. This will waste storage capacity. In order to avoid this, the user dictionary (6) stores compound words as well as information on the usage frequency and latest usage time of the compound words (hereinafter collectively referred to as usage history). Based on this usage history, the compound word management device 00) deletes compound words that have not been used for a long time and are used infrequently from the user dictionary (6). In addition,
Usage history (f updated every time the compound word is used.

In addition, when a definition request is input from the input device (1) to the user dictionary (6), the processing is transferred to the dictionary management device (7), and registration of abbreviations and words not found in the system dictionary (5), etc. Words that have already been registered are deleted based on the operator's request.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Since the conventional kana-kanji conversion device is configured as described above, for example, the kana character string "Kairomou" is not registered in the system dictionary (5) and the user dictionary (6), so it is
If it cannot be converted to "Circuit--1" and "Network",
When trying to create a ``circuit network'' by combining ``net'', it is easier to convert ``ami'' to ``mo'', so by converting ``net'' from ``ami'', it is possible to create a ``circuit network''. `` is sometimes registered as ``1 Kairoami''. That is, there was a problem in that a compound word was registered as a headword that was not intended by the operator. Therefore, the operator must temporarily interrupt the input and transfer the processing to the dictionary management device (7) to register again.
By registering the unnecessary compound word "Kairoami", the storage capacity of the user dictionary (6) was wasted.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a kana-kanji conversion device in which a compound word intended by an operator's headword is registered in a user dictionary.

[Means for solving problems]

The kana-kanji conversion device according to the present invention includes a headword storage device that temporarily stores the kana input to the conversion device,
When the reading of a compound word input to the conversion device is not converted into kanji because it is not registered in the system dictionary or the user dictionary, this reading is stored in the headword storage device.

[For production]

In this invention, when the reading of a compound word input to the conversion device is not converted into kanji because it is not registered in the system dictionary or user book, this reading is stored in the headword storage device. be done. Therefore, after that, when the compound word intended by the operator is compounded by Kanji conversion, the entry word intended by the operator is stored in the entry word storage device.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1st
The figure is a block diagram showing the configuration of a kana-kanji conversion device according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, (1) to (8) and α0)° are similar to the conventional kana-kanji conversion device. (11) is a kanji buffer that can temporarily store kanji, (+2) is a headword buffer that can store readings of kanji and characters, (+31 is a kanji buffer (lt) and Buffer management device that manages headword buffer (+2), (+4) +Yo registration device (8)
) and the buffer management device (+3) to synthesize compound words. A program having the configuration shown in FIG. 2 is installed in the synthesis device (14). Note that the symbols ■ and ■ in FIG. 2 indicate that they are connected by ■ and ■, and ■ and ■, respectively.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained with reference to FIG. Step (9) is a step of initializing the synthesis device (14). Here, the initial setting of the compositing device (141) means setting the compositing device (14) to registration mode, and sending the kanji buffer 01) and headword buffer (cut off) from the compositing device (14) to the buffer management device W (13). The registration mode refers to one of the two internal states of the synthesizer θ4). ,
The two states are the reading system dictionary (5) and the user dictionary (6) of the compound word input to the conversion device (2).
), the reading of the compound word is stored in the headword buffer, i.e., the combination mode, and the other state, i.e., the registration mode.

First, input a smooth character string using the input device (1).
The conversion device (2) converts the Otsu kana character string into the system dictionary (
5) and the user dictionary (6).

If the conversion is successful, the converted string will be stored in the storage device (3)
, to the output device (4), and at the same time to the synthesizer (14).
Also sent to. On the other hand, if the conversion fails, a signal indicating that the conversion has failed is sent from the conversion device (2) to the synthesis device (l→
sent to.

Now, when the internal state of the synthesizer θ→ is in registration mode,
If the signal received by the synthesis device (14) from the conversion device (2) is a character string consisting of only Kanji characters, the synthesis device (1 → sends the Kanji buffer θl to the buffer management device (13)) and Inquire about the status of the headword buffer (I2). If these are clear, the synthesizer (14) transfers the received kanji string to the kanji buffer (11).
), it issues an instruction to the buffer management device (+3) to input the reading, that is, the kana character string input from the input device, into the headword buffer (+2). (Step (
22) -(30)→(34) -(36) -(38
)) If the buffer (It) (+2) is not in a clear state, it issues a registration signal to the registration device (8). The registration device (8) receives this registration signal and stores the kanji buffer (1).
The user can use the compound word and headword buffer consisting of the kanji string in 1) and the newly input kanji string. Register it in the dictionary (6). Then, add it to the synthesis device (+

7)) Also, in registration mode, if the signal received by Uke is a string of characters, and that string contains symbols other than kanji, and in registration mode, Uke receives the signal (; sign is not a string of characters). , and it is not a signal indicating that the conversion has failed, then
The synthesis device (14) instructs the buffer management device (13) to clear the kanji buffer (11) and headword buffer (12). (Step (22) → (
30) → (34) → (35) and step (22'1
-(30)→(31)→(32)) Furthermore, when the internal state of the synthesizer (14) is in the registration mode, the synthesizer (14)
If the signal received from the conversion device (2) is a signal indicating that the conversion has failed, the synthesis device (I4) sends an input to the conversion device (2) to the buffer management device (+3). An instruction is issued to store the kana character string in the headword buffer (12), and the synthesis device (14) enters the synthesis mode. (Step (22) → (30) → (31)
→ (33) ) Next, in the synthesis mode, if the signal received by the synthesizer θ→ is a character string consisting only of kanji, the synthesizer 0
4) instructs the buffer management device (+3) to store the character string in the Kanji buffer θ1).

(Steps (22)-(23)-(27)-(29)
)) If the character string contains symbols other than kanji, the synthesis device (+4) instructs the buffer management device (+3) to clear the kanji buffer (11) and headword buffer (12), Switch the status to registration mode.

(Steps (22) → (23) → (27) → (28)
) In the synthesis mode, the synthesis device 04) can accept an operator's instruction signal from the input device (11), and edit the contents of the character string stored in the kanji buffer (11) according to the signal. It can be performed.

(Steps (22) → (23) → (24) → (25))
Also, if the received signal is the end signal of the composite mode, the receiver will receive a composite bag! (+41 sends a registration signal to the registration device (8). The registration device (8) (yo,
The character strings in the kanji buffer (11) are combined to form a compound word, which is registered in the user dictionary (b) with the kana character string in the headword buffer (I2) as a headword.

After this registration, the synthesis device (8) transfers the buffer management device (1
Instruct 3) to clear the kanji buffer (11) and headword buffer (+2), and switch the state to registration mode. (Steps (22)-(23)→
(24)→(26)) In the above embodiment, the compound word is registered in the user dictionary (6) when the synthesis device (8) receives the synthesis mode end signal from the operator. When the result of conversion by the conversion device (2) in the composition mode includes symbols other than Kanji, the Kanji examples in the Kanji buffer (11) are combined to form a compound word, and this is used as a headword. buffer 02)
It is also possible to register the character string in the user dictionary 8 (6) as a headword.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the kana character string was input in hiragana, but it goes without saying that it may also be input in katakana or romaji.
