Abstract

PURPOSE:To report that a same word is frequently used so as to prevent a sentence from becoming infantile by counting the number of times the same word is used and outputting an alarm when the number of times exceeds a prescribed number. CONSTITUTION:If data on respective words of a character, a mark or the like is inputted from an input means, a counting means counts the number of used times of respective words inputted for the same document. An alarm means outputs the alarm based on a counted result by the counting means if the number of used times of respective words exceeds the prescribed number. However, it is to be desired that the alarm is not outputted as for the words such as an article, a substantive verb and a noun even if they are used more than the set number of times in accordance with necessity.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a document processing device, and particularly relates to a document processing device that counts the number of times the same word is used when creating a sentence such as English, and when the number of times the same word is used exceeds a predetermined number. Regarding things that sometimes output alarms.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, document processing devices such as Roman typewriters and word processors have been put into practical use that are equipped with a spell check function and a function to search for correctly spelled candidate words.

By the way, when creating a document while composing sentences in European languages, unless you have great language skills, you tend to use the same words frequently, because you don't know many of the words in Western languages, such as conjunctions, adverbs, etc. Using the same words, such as adjectives and verbs, over and over again makes sentences look monotonous and childish. To prevent this, document creators usually proceed with their work while checking the number of times the same word is used.

When checking the number of times the same word has been used, methods are used, such as checking based on information stored in one's head, or checking while looking at printed paper or a document output on a display.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As described above, when checking the number of uses based on information stored in the head, there is a problem in that it is difficult to check each word for a large number of words, and there is a lack of certainty. On the other hand, when checking while looking at printed paper or a document output on a display, there is a problem in that it takes time and effort and reduces work efficiency.

(Object of the Invention) An object of the present invention is to provide a document processing device that issues an alarm when the number of times each word is used in the same document exceeds a set number of times.

(Means for Solving the Problems) As shown in the functional block diagram of FIG. 1, the document processing device according to the present invention has an input means for inputting characters, symbols, etc. The device is provided with a counting means for counting the number of times each word is used, and an alarm means for outputting an alarm when the number of times each word is used exceeds a set number based on the counting result by the counting means. .

However, if necessary, for words that need to be used frequently, such as articles, be verbs, and nouns, it is desirable to prevent alarms from occurring even if they are used more than a set number of times, and to store dictionary information for a large number of words. A dictionary memory may be provided to count the number of uses of words of a specific part of speech (for example, conjunctions, adverbs, adjectives, verbs, etc.).

(Function) When the data of each word is entered manually from the input means, the counting means counts the number of times each word is used in the same document, and the alarm means is activated based on the counting result by the counting means. and outputs an alarm when the number of times each word is used exceeds the set number of times.

(Effects of the Invention) According to the document processing device according to the present invention, as explained above, the number of times each word is used is counted, and an alarm is output when the number of times each word is used exceeds a set number of times. Therefore, you can check the number of times the same word is used very easily and quickly. This reliably prevents the same words from being used frequently in the same document, and prevents sentences from becoming monotonous or childish. However, even if an alarm sounds, it does not mean that the word cannot be used if necessary, so the degree of freedom of operation is not restricted.

(Example) Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

This embodiment is a case where the present invention is applied to an electronic type-like.

As shown in FIG. 2, a keyboard 3 is disposed at the front of the body frame 2 of the typewriter I, and a printing mechanism is disposed within the body frame 2 behind the keyboard 3.

A type wheel drive motor 54 is disposed on the carriage 32, and a type wheel 37 in a wheel cassette 38 is removably attached to the motor shaft, and the type wheel 37 is rotatably driven. The type 39 is set at a printing position opposite the printing hammer 40. The printing hammer 40 is mounted on the top of the carriage 32, and its printing hammer solenoid 55 is driven by a drive current from a printing hammer solenoid driver 65 to strike the type 39 set at the printing position onto the printing paper 45.

A ribbon cassette 42 containing a printing ribbon 41 is placed on a holder 43, and the front end of the holder 43 is attached to a guide shaft 35 so as to be rotatable with respect to the carriage 32, and the printing ribbon 41 is supplied to the ribbon cassette 42. A spool and a take-up spool are attached to each other, and the take-up spool is driven by a ribbon feed motor 52. A correction ribbon 44 is provided at a lower portion at the rear of the holder 43.

The printing ribbon 41 is connected to the type 39 at the printing position and the platen 3.
0 (see Figure 3), a resting position (path shown) in which the printing ribbon 41 is moved below the printing position, and a correction ribbon 44 placed between the type 39 at the printing position and the platen. 30 and the corrected posture located between the holder 4
3, a drive shaft rotationally driven by a ribbon lift motor 53 and a cam mechanism (path shown) are provided.

Next, the overall configuration of the control system of the typewriter 1 will be explained based on the block diagram of FIG. 4.

The drive unit of the printing mechanism PM is a platen drive motor 50.
and its driver 60; carriage drive motor 51 and its driver 61; ribbon feed motor 52 and its driver 62; ribbon lift motor 53 and its driver 63; type wheel drive motor 54 and its driver 64; and print hammer solenoid. 55 and its driver 65.

Note that the control system in FIG. 4 includes a display controller that controls the LCD display 71, but a description thereof will be omitted.

The control device C includes a CPU (central processing unit) 76 and a CP
ROM (read only memory) 80 and RAM (random access memory) 90 connected to U76
The keyboard 3 and each driver 60 to 65 of the printing mechanism PM are connected to the CPU 76 via a data bus or the like.

The program memory 81 of the ROM 80 stores the motors 50 to 54 and the printing hammer solenoid 55 in correspondence with code data of each character etc. input from the keyboard 3 and code data of each function input from various function keys.
A control program for controlling , a control program for character deletion control, a control program for use count control and synonym search control, which will be described later, are stored.

The dictionary memory 82 of the ROM 80 contains, for example, about 70.00
Dictionary information data (spelling, synonyms, parts of speech, etc.) related to word 0 are stored in alphabetical order in the same way as in a normal dictionary.

In addition, the word memory 83 of the ROM 80 stores data on frequently used words such as articles, Be verbs, and many nouns, so that the number of times these words are used is not counted in the usage count control described later. It has become.

The RAM 90 includes a current position memory that stores the current position of the carriage 32 in correspondence with the printing position, and a current rotational angle position of the type wheel 37 (the current rotational angle position of the type wheel 37).
9 spoke number), a word data memory 91 that stores the data of the latest word currently being input, and a typewriter mode that prints at the same time with key manual input or every time one print line of data is input. A line/symbol that prints the character/symbol according to the carriage return movement.
A print data memory that sequentially stores print data in correspondence with the print position when in the pie line mode, and a print data memory that stores input data in the text memory 93 that is input during the memory mode or the text memory 93. a line buffer 92 that stores character and symbol data for two print lines, including the data read out from the LCD display 71 and displayed on the LCD display 71; and a text memory that stores data input in memory mode as file data. 93
and various types of memories that temporarily store the results of calculations performed by the CPU 76 are provided.

In the typewriter mode, the CPU 76 controls the printing mechanism PM to print code data corresponding to each character or symbol input from the keyboard 3 on the printing paper 45 based on the control program, and prints the printing data. The data of the current position, which changes each time the carriage drive motor 51 or the type wheel drive motor 54 is driven, is stored in the current position memory and the type position memory sequentially through the line buffer 92 in correspondence with the print position. Make me remember.

Then, in the memory mode, the CPtJ 76 writes code data corresponding to each character and symbol input based on the control program into the text memory 93 via the line buffer 92.

The input code data is sent to each motor 50 to 54 of the printing mechanism PM.
When the CPU 76 receives command data from various function keys that operate the input code data, the CPU 76 processes the code data using a control program to create a system corresponding to the input code data. 1
1 signal is output to each driver 60-65.

By the way, the typewriter of this embodiment is characterized by usage count control and synonym search control which issue a warning to the operator when the same word is used more than a set number of times during document creation.

Next, the control routine carried out by the control device of the electronic typewriter will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. However, this control is an example of control when the typewriter is set to memory mode and input data is stored as a document in the text memory.

This control is started when the typewriter is set to memory mode, and initial settings such as clearing the memories 91 and 92 of the RAM 90 are performed in step Sl (hereinafter simply referred to as Sl and the same applies to other steps). It is executed, then waits for key power at 82, and if there is key power, 3
If the key operated in step 3 is a function key (a key for inputting data for various functional processes other than the data stored in the text memory 93), the process moves to S21 and the functional process corresponding to the function key is executed. If the operated key is not a function key, the process moves to S4.

In S4, the code data input by the key operation is stored in the line buffer 92, and then in S5 it is determined whether the operated key is the alpha horizontal shift key 10, and when the alphabet key 10 is operated, the code data is stored in the line buffer 92.
The alphabet code is stored in the word data memory 91 in S6, and the process returns from S6 to S2.

If it is determined in S5 that it is not the alphabet key 10, it is determined in S7 whether or not the operated key is a separator key. Here, the delimiter key is the data that separates each word (space, carriage return, ",", r,...
, r:'', ``;'', etc.).

When the delimiter key is operated, the process moves to S8, and when the delimiter key is not operated, the process returns to S2. In S8, it is determined whether or not the operated key is the return key 15. If Yes, the process moves to S9, and if No, the process moves to Sll. At S9, the data in line buffer 92 is transferred to text memory 93, and then at 810, line buffer 92 is cleared. At step 311, it is determined whether the same word as the word in the word data memory 91 is included in the words in the word memory 83 of the ROM 80.

As mentioned above, when the input word that has been input this time is a frequently used word in the word memory 83, it is determined as Yes and the process moves to 320, whereas when the result is No, the process moves to S1.
Move to 2. In S12, the word data memory 91
The text memory 93 and line buffer 92 are searched for the word in the word, and the number of times the word is used is counted. Next, in 813, it is determined whether the number of uses (■) is I≧3 (set number of times), and when ■≧3, the process moves to S14, and in 314, a control signal is output to the buzzer drive circuit (path shown), and an alarm is generated by the buzzer. is output. however,
It may be displayed on an alarm lamp instead of a buzzer. Then, if ■≧3, the process moves from 313 to 320.

After the alarm is output in S14, the process moves to 315, and S
At step 15, synonyms are searched by searching the dictionary memory 82 for the latest word in the word data memory 91. Next, in step 316, the number of uses, y, of the detected synonym is counted, as in S12. Next, in 317, it is determined whether the number of uses J of the synonym is J≧3, and Y
When the answer is s, the process moves to S18, and when the answer is NO, the process moves to S19.

In S18, since the synonym has been used many times and it is not desirable to use it again, a different synonym is searched in the same manner as in S15, and then steps 816 to 317 are repeated.
31 if a synonym used less than 3 times is detected
7 to 319. In S19, the synonym is displayed on the display 71, and the process moves to S20. At 320, word data memory 9 is used to store the next input word.
1 is cleared and the process returns from S20 to 82.

Note that if no synonym is detected as a result of the synonym search in S15, the process moves from S15 to 320.

In this way, if the same word is used three or more times, an alarm is output, so it is possible to prevent the same word from being used frequently and to prevent monotonous English sentences. and,
For words that are used three or more times, synonyms (which are not used three or more times) are searched and displayed.
A synonym can be used in place of the word, making it possible to proceed with the work more efficiently.

Here, the above embodiment may be partially modified as follows.

(1) If the same word is used repeatedly, the sentence becomes monotonous. Considering that the parts of speech of words are mainly conjunctions, adverbs, verbs, adjectives, etc., a dictionary is created for the words in the word data memory 91 between Sll and 312. The part of speech of the input word is detected by searching the memory 82, and the routine moves to Si2 only when the part of speech corresponds to the conjunction or the like.

(2) When the typewriter is used in typewriter mode or line-by-line mode, the routine searches the print data memory instead of the text memory 93 in S12.

(3) Although the above embodiment has been explained in the case of an electronic typewriter with a type wheel, it goes without saying that the present invention can also be applied to thermal type dot matrix types, type pole type typewriters, various Roman word processors, etc. be.
