Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the operator load in a correction mode by retrieving the character positions corresponding to a KANA (Japanese syllaraby) character string from an optional character position of a KANJI (Chinese character)- KANA character string and converting again the character string into another KANJI-KANA character string having different dividing positions. CONSTITUTION:A KANA character string 'saihenkanshori' is supplied from a keyboard 1 and then converted into KANJI 'SAIHENKANSHORI' when the conversion is instructed..While an operator sets a cursor 20 under 'HEN' (KANJI) of a paragraph 'SAIHEN' (KANJI) having a wring paragraph dividing position by means of a cursor key and gives and instruction for reconversion. Thus a controller 6 uses the Japanese reading 'sai' of the paragraph as a key to start a KANA/KANJI converting part 3 and obtains the corresponding character 'SAI' (KANJI). Then the reconversion is given to the remaining character string 'henkanshori' (KANA). Thus the reconversion processing is possible with a character string. In this case, it is not needed for the operator to convert again the entire character string into KANA character string for correction of a KANJI-KANA character string. This reduces the correcting load of the operator.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a Japanese document processing device, and more particularly to the correction of a character string containing a mixture of Kanji and Kana characters, which is composed of a plurality of clauses that have been converted from Kana to Kanji characters.

[Background of the invention]

As a Japanese input method for Japanese document processing devices, a continuous clause kana-kanji conversion method is known, which inputs a kana character string and converts it into a character string consisting of multiple clauses containing kanji and kana. After converting to a character string, it may be necessary to change the bunsetsu break position. In order to solve this problem, for example,
As shown in Publication No. 6820, a method is known in which the entire converted character string containing kanji and kana is converted back to a kana character string, and the bunsetsu break positions are manually specified, and the conversion is performed again one by one. . However, with this method, in addition to the psychological burden of searching for bunsetsu break positions from kana character strings, the number of key touches required for corrections increases because the bunsetsu break positions must be manually specified and conversion started. That's why.

There is a problem in that the burden on the operator increases during correction operations.

[Purpose of the invention]

An object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned problems and to provide a Japanese document processing device that can easily correct character strings containing kanji, kana, etc., which are composed of multiple phrases converted by a continuous phrase, kana, and kanji conversion method. The purpose is to provide a method.

[Summary of the invention]

The present invention has a first storage means for storing a kana character string inputted from an input means, and a second storage means for storing a character string containing kanji and kana as a result of converting the kana character string into kana and kanji. In the language document processing device, a corresponding character position in the first storage means is searched from an arbitrary character position of a character string containing kanji and kana mixed in a plurality of clauses in the second storage means.

A re-conversion means is provided for converting the character string after that character position at a delimiting position different from the bunsetsu delimiting position of the character string containing kanji and kana in the second storage means, and the re-converting means By activating the system and storing the result in the second storage means, it is possible to change the clause break of the character string containing kanji and kana in the second storage means.

By doing this, after converting kana to kanji, when correcting a character string containing kanji and kana in which the bunsetsu break position is incorrect, specify the clause or character position where the bunsetsu break position is incorrect and use the above re-conversion method. Just by activating the system, the character strings following the relevant clause are automatically reconverted, reducing the burden on the operator during correction operations.

[Name of invention]

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail using the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a configuration diagram of an embodiment of a Japanese document processing device according to the present invention. The keyboard 1 is used to input characters, symbols, etc. of a document to be created.

In addition to the character keys, there are cursor control keys for moving the cursor, conversion keys for converting character strings entered in kana into character strings containing kanji and kana, and function keys for various proof editing operations. The keyboard control unit 2 analyzes input signals from the keyboard 1, converts them into character codes, conversion key codes, reconversion key codes, and various function key codes, and transmits them to the control device 6.

The kana-kanji conversion section 3 transmits the kana character string input via the keyboard control section 2 to the document memory 7 in order to display it on the display device 12, and converts the same kana character string in order to perform kana-kanji conversion. The kana character string in the character string buffer 5 is transmitted to the character string buffer 5 or converted into a character string containing kanji and kana by searching the kana-kanji conversion dictionary 4 according to a conversion signal from the control device 6 and stored in the document memory 7. is replaced with the corresponding kana string. The kana-kanji conversion dictionary 4 is referred to by the kana-kanji conversion unit 3 when performing kana-kanji conversion, and stores headings of kana character strings and corresponding character strings mixed with kanji and kana. The character string buffer 5 is a buffer that temporarily holds a kana character string to be subjected to kana-kanji conversion.

The control device 6 is a control device such as a microprocessor that manages the state of the entire device, and starts the document file control section 8 to load a document from the document file 9 into the document memory 7, and controls the contents of the document memory 7. In order to display a document, the display control section 10 is activated, the keyboard control section 2 is activated, and the keyboard control section 2 is activated.
According to the key code from , a conversion signal and a reconversion signal are transmitted to the kana-kanji conversion section 3.

The document memory 7 is a work memory used when inputting a single character or proofreading, and stores a target document or a part of the document in the document file 9. The document file control unit 8 inputs and outputs documents from the document file 9 to the document file 7 based on instructions from the control device 6. The document file 9 is a file such as a magnetic disk that stores documents.

The display control unit 10 transfers the document in the document memory 7 to the display screen buffer 11 according to instructions from the control device 6. The display screen buffer 11 is a buffer in which documents to be displayed on the display device 12 are stored. Display device 12
is a display device such as a CRT on which various displays are performed for document input or proofreading.

FIGS. 2(A) and 2(B) are flowcharts showing the processing at the time of kana-kanji conversion and re-conversion in the control device 6.

A key code corresponding to the key pressed by the operator is input from the keyboard control unit 2 (601). The input key code is checked to determine whether it is a character input (602).

When inputting characters, the input character code is stored in the character input position on the character string buffer 5 and document memory 7, bypassing the kana-kanji converter 3 (603). 602
If it is determined that it is not a character input, the input key code is checked, and if it is a conversion key code, it is determined whether it is a conversion instruction (604). When it is a conversion instruction, the kana-kanji conversion section 3 is controlled and the kana-kanji conversion dictionary 4 is converted using the kana multiple string in the character string buffer 5 as a key.
is searched, converted into a corresponding character string containing kanji and kana, and replaced with the kana character string in the document memory 7 (605). 6
After the processing in step 03 or 605, the display control unit 10 is activated to display the document in the document memory 7 on the display device 1.2 (606).

When it is determined in step 604 that the instruction is not a conversion instruction, it is determined whether the instruction by the key manual is a re-conversion instruction (607). If it is determined that it is not a reconversion instruction,
Processing corresponding to the key code is performed (608).

When it is determined in step 607 that it is a reconversion instruction,
As a result of dictionary matching, it is determined whether the cursor position is on the kanji/kana mixed character string replaced with the kana string, that is, on the dictionary matching part (609).If it is determined that the cursor is on the dictionary matching part, A kana character string corresponding to the kanji/kana mixed character string starting from the dictionary matching part is obtained from the character string buffer 5 (610). Then, by controlling the kana-kanji conversion unit 3, among the kana character strings obtained from the character string buffer 5, characters whose length is shorter than the length of the kana character string corresponding to the dictionary matching part, that is, the reading length of the dictionary matching part Search Kana-Kanji Conversion Dictionary 4 using the column length kana character string as a key,
Convert to corresponding kanji/kana mixed character string and store in document memory 7
At the same time, the character string immediately after the converted kana character string in the character string buffer 5 is left unconverted (611).

In this case, if there is no kanji-kana mixed character string that corresponds to a kana character string with a string length shorter than the reading length of the dictionary matching part, then the kana character string corresponding to the character string after the dictionary matching part in the character string buffer 5 is not converted. Next, by similarly controlling the kana-kanji conversion unit 3 and searching the kana-kanji conversion dictionary 4 using unconverted character strings among the kana character strings in the character string buffer 5 as keys, the corresponding kanji-kana mixed characters are searched. The data is converted into columns and stored in the document memory 7 (612). 6o
If it is determined in step 9 that the cursor is not on the dictionary matching portion, the kana character string corresponding to the kanji-kana mixed character string starting from the cursor position is left unconverted and the process proceeds to step 612 (613).

FIG. 3 shows a specific example of the above processing. This is Figure 3 (1)
Convert the kana string "Saihenkanshiyori" shown in
After obtaining the kanji-kana-mixed sentence ``Reorganized Kansho-ri'' shown in Figure 3 (2), it was reconverted.

This is an example of modification so that it becomes "re-conversion processing".

In FIG. 3, vertical lines indicate clause break positions.

Assume that the operator inputs the kana character string ``Saihen Kanshiyori'' shown in FIG. 3(1) from the keyboard 1 and then instructs conversion, which is converted into the character string shown in FIG. 3(2). In response, the operator uses the cursor control keys to specify the cursor 20 under "Ed." of the phrase "Reorganization" in which the phrase break position is incorrect, as shown in Figure 3 (3). , issue instructions for reconversion. As a result, the control device 6 activates the kana-kanji conversion unit 3 using the reading ``Sai'', which is shorter than the reading ``Saihen J'' of the passage and is in the header character string of the kana-kanji dictionary 4, as a key, and starts the kana-kanji conversion unit 3. After getting the character "re", the remaining character string "henkanshiyori"
to be reconverted. As a result, the character string "reconversion process" shown in FIG. 3(4) is obtained. In this case, the operator does not have to convert an entire character string into a kana character string in order to correct a character string containing kanji and kana, which reduces the burden on the operator in the correction operation.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, if there is an error in the bunsetsu break position in a character string containing kanji and kana that has been converted using the continuous clause kana-kanji conversion method, it can be corrected without converting the entire character string back to a kana character string. This eliminates the psychological burden of searching for clause break positions from a kana character string, and reduces the number of key touches required for correction, which reduces the burden on the operator in document correction operations.
