Abstract

PURPOSE:To automatically form a name which is not present in a name dictionary by converting the code of the ruby of the name inputted from an input device to the dot character of a KANA(Japanese syllabary) or a KATAKANA (square form of Japanese syllabary) by a computer. CONSTITUTION:Since the ruby of the name inputted from the input device is an ASCII code, a table 5 is referred on the code of one character of the ruby of the name through a name KANA/KATAKANA converting part 3 to automatically form the dot character of the Japanese syllabary of the ASCII code or the dot character of the square form of the Japanese syllabary. The code of the ruby is applied to a name dictionary converting part 4, the character code of a KANJI(Chinese character) is outputted from a name dictionary part 6. In a name selection branch forming part 7, a KANA character applied in the form of the dot character, the KATAKANA character and the KANJI character are mixed and displayed on a display screen 1. Accordingly, the number to be converted more than the number of registered words in the dictionary on an actual dictionary file can be displayed.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] The present invention automatically converts the furigana code of the name inputted from an input device into dot characters in Gana and Kana, thereby automatically retrieving names that are not in the name dictionary. Concerning the automatic kana/kana name dictionary addition method.

In the present invention, the furigana of a name input from an input/output device including a display device is sent to the furigana name discriminator,
Separate into surname part and first name part. These are input into the name kana/kana conversion section and the name dictionary conversion section. The surname/name kana/kana conversion unit searches the hiragana character table and katakana character table from the surname and first name kana reading codes taken by Uke, and automatically creates hiragana and katakana dot characters for the surname and first name. The name dictionary converter accesses the name dictionary based on the surname and kana reading code of the given name, and outputs the corresponding kanji name group.

The hiragana and katakana dot characters of the surname and given name automatically created by the name kana/kana conversion unit and the kanji name group output as dot characters from the name dictionary conversion unit are input to the name selection creation unit, where they are combined into one The names are grouped together and the names in kanji, kana, and kana are displayed as dots on the display screen.

As described above, the present invention has the advantage that the name addition process can be performed by automatically creating the kana and kana dot Roman characters of the name without significantly increasing the capacity of the name dictionary file.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a Japanese language processing device that inputs the furigana of a name, distinguishes the surname and first name, and searches a name dictionary to display the surname and first name of the name in dots. This document relates to automatic creation of names that are not in the name dictionary by converting the character code of characters and kana characters to dot characters.・Related to an automatic kana name dictionary addition method.

[Traditional technique]

Kana-Kanji conversion is one of the important processes in Japanese language processing by computers, and in recent Japanese word processors, the units that can be converted into Kana-Kanji have become longer due to improvements in grammar analysis and word dictionaries. Additionally, artificial intelligence-based processing has come to be used in processing such as Japanese machine translation and Japanese understanding.

However, there are still many problems with the input method of Japanese language processing devices. The mainstream input methods are kana-kanji conversion and romaji-kanji conversion, but Japanese sentences are not only written in kanji, but also in hiragana, katakana, or °? There is a problem in that the amount of data in the dictionary section becomes extremely large because various types of characters such as rufabesoto are used. In particular, Japanese names are not only written in kanji, but also contain many hiragana and katakana characters, and there are many problems with the name conversion method, especially female names, which often contain only hiragana and katakana characters. Yes, there are many problems with the dictionary input method.

Some methods of converting names into kanji in systems that automatically create medical records, etc., include methods that convert names into kanji by inputting the pronunciation in a word processor style and pressing a conversion key, and methods that convert names into kanji by inputting the furigana of the name and using a name dictionary. There is a method in which a list of applicable surnames and given names is displayed once on a display device, and the user selects one from among these and converts it into kanji.

In the latter method, the surnames and first names that should normally be registered in the name dictionary file on the storage device are limited to those that are made up of only kanji or those that include some kanji (kana) + kanji. .

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Conventionally, in Japanese processing systems for creating medical records that use this type of name dictionary file to convert the furigana of a name into a surname and given name, for example, names consisting of only kana, which are common among women born in the Meiji and Taisho eras, have been used. There was a problem in that it was not possible to select a dictionary for , which caused a big problem in practical use.

Furthermore, if such names, which are all kana, are additionally registered in the dictionary, there is a problem in that the capacity of the name dictionary file on the storage device increases.

In order to solve the above conventional problems, the present invention converts the furigana code of the name inputted from the input device into hiragana or katakana dot characters using a hiragana table search section and a katakana table search section. Provides an automatic kana/kana name dictionary addition method that automatically creates names that are not found in the dictionary.

[Means for solving problems]

In FIG. 1, the input/output device l including the display device
After entering the furigana of your name, press the conversion key.

Thereafter, the input furigana of the name is sent to the furigana/surname discriminator 2, where it is separated into a surname part and a first name part. These divided codes are input to the first name kana/kana converter 3 and the name dictionary converter 4. A surname kana/kana conversion part 3 searches a hiragana character table 50 and a katakana character table 51 from the surname and kana pronunciation code of the given name, and automatically creates hiragana and katakana dot characters for the surname and first name.

On the other hand, the name dictionary conversion section 4 accesses the name dictionary section 6 based on the surname and kana pronunciation code of the given name, and outputs the corresponding Kanji name group in dots. The hiragana and katakana dot characters of the surname and first name automatically created by the name kana/kana conversion unit 3 and the kanji name group output as dot characters from the name dictionary conversion unit 4 are input to the name selection branch creation unit 7. .

Here, the input/output devices l are grouped into one group.
The Kanji name, Kana name, and Kana name are displayed as dots on the display screen.

[For production]

In the present invention, since the furigana of the name inputted from the input device is an ASCII code, the code for each character of the furigana of the name is converted via the first and last name kana/kana conversion unit 3.
See Table 5. As a result, the ASCII code is automatically created as a hiragana dot character or a katakana dot character.

On the other hand, by giving the furigana code to the name dictionary conversion unit 4, the name dictionary unit 6 outputs the kanji character code. A mixture of kanji characters is displayed on the display screen. Therefore, it is possible to display a larger number of words to be converted than the number of words registered in the dictionary on the actual dictionary file.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a system according to the automatic kana/kana name dictionary addition method of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a process flow chart showing an overview of the process.

The furigana of the name is input/output device 1 including display device.
, the furigana of the name is input.

The conversion key is pressed only once after inputting the furigana. The input furigana is converted to a character code such as ASCII code. For example, the surname is "Yamada" in furigana.
If the given name is "Kiku", each ASCII code corresponding to "Yamada" is output. In order to distinguish between the surname and first name, the ``space τ key'' is pressed after ``Yamada'', so the ASCII code corresponding to the space is output. After this, each ASCII code corresponding to the name "Kiku" is output, followed by the code corresponding to the conversion key.

In the present invention, among the furigana input from the input device,
At the same time as the kanji characters corresponding to the surname and first name are output from the name dictionary section 6, the automatic name creation section 8 creates, for example, hiragana or katakana dot characters corresponding to "kiku" in the name part, and converts them into kanji characters. The name is inputted together with the code to the name selection creation section 7. In the name selection creation unit 7, the surname "Yamada", the kanji "kiku", the katakana "kiku", and the hiragana "kiku" corresponding to the name are combined into one and displayed on the display device. .

The purpose of the present invention is to have the automatic name creation unit 8 automatically convert each do-nodo character of the katakana "kiku" and the hiragana "kiku" for each code of the furigana ASCII code of the name "kiku". It is about creating.

This system inputs the furigana of a name, distinguishes the surname and first name, and searches a name dictionary to display the surname and first name of the name as dots including kanji, and uses computer logic to convert the name code into kana and katakana. This is a device that displays dot characters.

The furigana of a name inputted from an input/output device 1 including a display device is sent to a furigana name discriminator 2. For example, if the input furigana is "Yamada Kiku", each character is output as ASCII code. The surname "Yamada" and the first name "Kiku" are determined. Discrimination can be made by reading the ASCII code "" between "Yamada" and "Kiku". Also, the conversion key is pressed for the first time after ``Yamada Kiku'' and the code corresponding to that key is output.

The ASCII code of the surname and given name obtained by the furigana name discriminator 2 is input to the surname kana/kana converter 3 and the name dictionary converter 4. The surname kana/kana conversion unit 3 searches the hiragana character table 50 and the katakana character table 51 from the ASCII code of the surname and the kana pronunciation of the given name, and automatically creates hiragana dot characters for the surname and first name. That is, the hiragana character table 50 is a table that converts each hiragana from ``a'' to ``n'' from ASCII code to dot character code one by one. It also includes voiced and semi-voiced sounds.On the other hand,
The katakana character table 51 is a table for converting ASCII codes to dot character codes for each katakana character from "A" to "N", and also includes voiced sounds and semi-voiced sounds. Therefore, both the hiragana character table 50 and the katakana character table 51 are small storage devices capable of code conversion for each character, and can be configured with very small storage devices.

On the other hand, the name dictionary conversion section 4 accesses the name dictionary section 6 based on the ASCII code of the surname and the kana pronunciation of the given name, and outputs the corresponding Kanji name group in dot characters. The name dictionary section 6 has a large capacity because it includes Kanji character codes for the surname and first name, but it does not have a large capacity file because it does not store character codes only in hiragana or katakana for the surname and first name.

In this way, the present invention separates the conversion of kanji and the conversion of only hiragana or katakana names.

For surnames and given names that are only in hiragana or katakana, the hiragana character table 50 and katakana character table 51 are referred to and
Automatically create throat characters.

For example, if your last name is "Yamada" and your first name is "Kiku",
The surname "Yamada" is output from the name dictionary section 6 via the name dictionary conversion section 4. Regarding names, the kanji ``kiku'' is similarly output from the name dictionary section 6, but the katakana ``kiku'' and the hiragana dot characters ``kiku'' are output from the katakana character table 51 and the hiragana character table 50, respectively. The user name sheet 1 is automatically created and outputted via the name/last name kana/kana converter 3.

The dot characters in hiragana and katakana for the surname and first name automatically created by the name kana/kana conversion unit 3 are sent to the name selection creation unit 7.
given to. Further, the Kanji surname and do-nodo characters of the name outputted from the name dictionary section 6 are similarly given to the name selection option creation section 7.

For example, in the case of ``Yama 1) Kiku'', the dot character information for each kanji of ``yama'' and ``田'' in the last name Yamada, the dot character information for the kanji ``kiku'' in the name, and the ``ki'' in ``kiku''. Dot character information for `` and ri'', and each ``ki'' and `` of hiragana ``kiku''
The dot character () is given to the name selection creation unit 7, and 1
be grouped into one group. Then, the dot characters of kanji, hiragana, and katakana corresponding to the surname and first name are dynamically displayed on the display device of the input/output device 1 after inputting the conversion key. When a list of first and last names is displayed on the display device, the user selects and converts the correct characters from among them.

〔Effect of the invention〕

In this way, the present invention has the advantage that the dot characters of kana and katakana names can be automatically created using a table without significantly increasing the size of the name dictionary file (1), and the process of adding names can be executed efficiently. There is.

That is, it is possible to configure the number of words to be converted that is several times larger than the number of words registered in the dictionary on the actual file, and it is possible to eliminate unnecessary additional registration of names in the dictionary.
