Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable a user to perform output of KATAKANA (square form of Japanese syllabary) with a simple input operation by storing a prescribed alphabet character string and KATAKANA character string in correspondence with each other and at the same time comparing an input character string with said alphabet character string to read out the corresponding KATAKANA character string when coincidence is obtained from said comparison. CONSTITUTION:A character string, i.e., 'display' inputted via an input part 11 is stored in an input buffer 12. A deciding part 15 decides whether the character string stored in the buffer 12 is coincident or not with an alphabet character string stored in a dictionary 14. If so, the data on a relevant KATAKANA string 'DISUPUREI' is read out and outputted to a KATAKANA conversion processing part 16. Then the part 16 outputs the data on the KATAKANA string received from the means 15 to a display part, a printer, etc., (not shown here).

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a Japanese language processing device having a katakana conversion function.

Conventional technology The katakana conversion function of conventional Japanese language processing equipment converts one katakana character into a predetermined alphabet string (Roman alphabet).
has a corresponding table, which is e.g.
"De" is "de", "i" is "xI", "su" is "Su"
, ``pu'' is ``pu'', ``shi'' is 口e'', ``i'' is ``i''
, or "di" corresponds to [dhij, respectively.

In the above configuration, if the user wants to convert and display the katakana string "display", the user can input
exisupuleiJ or [dhisupule
Enter the Roman character string of iJ.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with the above-mentioned conventional Japanese language processing device,
A user who knows English can use [Display J (=dis
When inputting a foreign word such as play), for example, for "di", enter [d e x i J or [d h i
There is a problem in that an unnatural input such as J must be made, making the input operation inconvenient.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide a Japanese language processing device that can output katakana with a simple input operation.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides means for storing predetermined alphabetic character strings and katakana character strings in correspondence, and stores input character strings in the storage means. The present invention is characterized in that the katakana character string is compared with the katakana character string, and if they match, the katakana character string is read out and output.

Operation According to the above-described configuration, the user can output a katakana character string simply by inputting a predetermined alphabetical character string.

EXAMPLES Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The diagram is
1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a Japanese language processing device according to the present invention.

In the figure, 11 is an input unit having character keys for inputting alphabets, hiragana, and katakana, a Romaji input katakana conversion mode key, a word registration key for Romaji input katakana conversion, etc.; An input buffer 13 stores the data of the alphabetic character string and the katakana character string input after the word registration key for Roman character input/katakana conversion of the input unit 11 is pressed. A registration means 14 for registering is a dictionary in which standard Roman character data and katakana character data are stored in correspondence in advance, and the data registered in the registration means 13 is sequentially stored in the dictionary 14.

In addition, 16 is in Romaji input Katakana conversion mode,
Input section 11 , determining means for determining whether character string data inputted through input buffer 12 and alphabetic character string data stored in dictionary 14 match; This is a katakana conversion processing unit that converts data from . to katakana character string data.

Next, the operation of the embodiment according to the above configuration will be explained.

The character string input through the input section 11 is stored in the input buffer 1.
2, and the determining means 16 determines whether the character string stored in the input buffer 12 matches the alphabetic character string stored in the dictionary 14, and if they match, the The data of the katakana string is read and output to the katakana conversion processing section 16. The katakana conversion processing unit 1e outputs the katakana string data sent from the determining means 16 to a display unit, printer, etc. (not shown).

On the other hand, the character string input through the input unit 11 is stored in the dictionary 14.
If the character string does not match the alphabet string stored in , the determining section 16 outputs the input character string to the katakana conversion processing section 1e.

The katakana conversion processing unit 1θ compares the data of each character of the character string sent from the determining means 16 with the data of standard Roman characters in the dictionary 14, reads out each katakana character corresponding to the matching Roman character, and converts it into a katakana character. The data is converted into a column and output to a display unit, printer, etc. (not shown). Furthermore, determination means 1
6. If the data of the character sent from 6 is not in the dictionary 14, that character data is output. Therefore, according to the above embodiment, a user who is familiar with English can, for example, write the alphabet character string rdispla in advance.
yJ and the katakana character string "If you store it in Disp 14, you can use the alphapeno ↑ character string (+a
When you input i sp I a yJ, the katakana character string "display" is output, making it a very convenient input operation.

In the above embodiment, English words and katakana character strings are configured to correspond, but instead, other character strings such as abbreviations may be configured to correspond to katakana character strings (for example, II/FJ and “Interface”, “ROM”
J and [read-only memory]).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION As described in detail, the present invention provides means for storing predetermined alphabetic character strings and katakana character strings in correspondence;
Compare the input character string with the alphabetic character string stored in the storage means.

Since the configuration is such that when a match occurs, the katakana character string is read out and output, the user can output katakana characters with a simple input operation.
