Abstract

PURPOSE:To convert only a desired part to KATAKANA (square form of Japanese syllabary) characters, even if a character-string containing a KANA (Japanese syllabary) notation part such as an adjunct, etc., is inputted continuously, and to improve the operability, by providing a reading setting processing part and a KATAKANA conversion processing part. CONSTITUTION:When a character-string is inputted, its reading information is all converted to KATAKANA through a reading buffer 11, a reading setting processing part 12 and a KATAKANA conversion processing part 13 and stored in a homonym buffer 14. Subsequently, the processing part 12 sets shortly reading information in the buffer 11 by parting one character from the rear, converts its front part to a KATAKANA by the processing part 13, one character of the rear is not converted to a KATAKANA but remains a KANA, and a KATAKANA converted part and a KANA part are connected and stored in the buffer 14. Subsequently, the reading information is set so as to become short by one character each, stored successively in the buffer 14, and in the end, all of the reading information is not converted to a KATAKANA by the processing part 13 but allowed to pass through, stored in the buffer 14 as it remains a KANA, and can be displayed. In such a way, only a desired part can be converted to a KATAKANA character, and the operability can be improved.

Description

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

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, the katakana conversion function installed in this type of Japanese language processing device converts all the readings of an input character string into katakana.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention As mentioned above, in conventional Japanese language processing devices, all the pronunciations of input character strings are converted into katakana. is included, the hiragana characters will also be converted to katakana characters.

For example, if you input phrases or words such as ``Wa-Proni'' or ``Supi-Dokuji'' and convert them into katakana, you can enter ``Wa-Proni'' or ``Supi-Dokuji'' and convert them to katakana.
If you want to convert it to "Speed Lottery", it will be converted to "Word Proni" or "Speed Lottery". For this reason, conventional Japanese language processing devices first input ``wapro'' or ``speedo'' and convert them into katakana, and then input ``ni'' or ``kuji.''
had to be entered, making the operation cumbersome.

Therefore, the present invention solves such conventional problems, and even if character strings containing hiragana parts such as appendixes are input continuously, only the desired part is converted into katakana characters. The present invention aims to provide a Japanese language processing device that can improve operability.

Means for solving the problems and technical means of the present invention for solving the above problems include means for storing character strings input by an input means, and katakana conversion for the input character strings. reading 1
It is equipped with means for setting to shorten each character, and means for converting into katakana based on information from the setting means, and converting at least the entire input character string into katakana and the part converted into katakana into 1 character string. It is configured to display a character string in which each character is shortened and the remaining part is written in hiragana.

Therefore, according to the present invention, even if a character string that includes parts written in hiragana such as adjunct words is input at once and converted to katakana, the parts written in hiragana are converted as they are in hiragana. You can obtain a notation in which only the desired part is converted to katakana.

EXAMPLES Hereinafter, examples of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, 11 is a reading buffer that stores reading information of an input character string, and 12 is a reading setting process that sets the reading of the input character string to be converted into katakana to be shortened by one character from the rear. part, 13 is reading setting processing part 1
14 is a homophone buffer that stores the conversion result;

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained.

When a character string is input, its reading information is stored in reading buffer 1.
1 is stored. The pronunciation setting processing section 12 first sends the pronunciation information to the katakana conversion processing section 13, where all the information is converted into katakana, and the conversion result is stored in the homophone buffer 14. Next, the reading setting processing unit 12 shortens the reading information stored in the reading buffer 11 by cutting one character from the rear, converts the front part into katakana in the katakana conversion processing unit 13, and the rear one character The hiragana is not converted into katakana, and the katakana-converted part and hiragana part are connected and stored in the homophone buffer 14. Thereafter, the reading information is set so that it becomes shorter one character at a time, and is sequentially stored in the homophone buffer 14 in the same manner as above, and finally all of the reading information is passed through the katakana conversion processing unit 13 without being converted into katakana,
The hiragana is stored in the homophone buffer 14 as it is. Then, by requesting a homophone from the input section, a homophone buffer is created.
The information stored in 14 can be displayed on the display unit. That is, it is possible to display a character string in which the entire part is converted into katakana, a character string in which the katakana-converted part is shortened one character at a time, and the remaining part is in hiragana, and a character string in which the entire part is in hiragana. Therefore, it is possible to select and output a desired character string from among them.

As a specific example of the above embodiment, FIG. 2 shows a homophone display screen when the character string "ringo ni" is input. In FIG. 2, 21 is a homophone display area.

First, the pronunciation setting processing section 12 sends the entire input pronunciation "ringo ni" to the katakana conversion processing section 13, and stores "ringoni" converted into katakana in the homophone buffer 14.

Next, the pronunciation setting processing section 12 separates the last character "ni" in the pronunciation of "ringo ni", sends the preceding "ringo" to the katakana conversion processing section 13, converts it into katakana, and converts it into katakana. "Ringo" and "ni" which were not converted into katakana are connected and stored in the homophone buffer 14. From then on, the same processing as above is performed sequentially, and "Rintoni" and "ringo" are stored in the homophone buffer 14. ni'' is stored, and finally the hiragana ``ringo ni'' is stored. Then, by requesting homophones, as shown in Figure 2, all of them were first converted to katakana.
``ringoni'' is displayed, and secondly, ``ringo'' is shortened by one character and converted to katakana, and the remaining ``ni'' is changed to hiragana.
"Ringo ni" is displayed, and after that, the parts that are converted to katakana character by character are reduced, and the rest are changed to hiragana, "Ringo ni", "
``Ringo ni'' is displayed, and finally ``Ringo ni'' is displayed with all hiragana. Therefore, the second character example "Apple" can be selected and output.

In this way, if you want to write ``ringo ni'', instead of separating ``ringo'' and ``ni'', write ``ringo ni'' that includes the adjunct ``ni''.
Even if you input it in units of ``, by requesting homophones, ``
You can get the notation converted to "to an apple".

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, at least the entire input character string is converted into katakana, the katakana-converted part is shortened one character at a time, and the remaining part is left in hiragana. The system is configured so that it can display character strings written in katakana, so even if you enter a string containing hiragana parts, such as adjunct words, only the desired part can be converted into katakana characters. Operability can be improved.
