Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve correction operability and a reconversion ratio by automatically recovering a KANA (Japanese syllabary)-character string to be converted corresponding to a conversion unit including an error conversion part at the time of noticing error conversion, and converting KANA into KANJI (Chinese character) again by means of the KANA-character string to be converted including block segment information due to the designation of an operator. CONSTITUTION:A system has a character input part 1, a character display part 3, a dictionary storage part 4 and a KANA/KANJI conversion processing control part 2 controlling said parts. If the error conversion of the character string mixed with the KANJI having converted is noticed while KANA character string data to be converted for KANA/KANJI conversion is inputted, data in the middle of conversion at present is moved and the KANA-character string to be countered corresponding to the conversion unit including the error conversion part is restored. With the instruction of the operator, block segment is designated in an optional position, reconversion is executed, and desired character string mixed with the KANJI is obtained, whereby data in the idle of conversion which has been moved is restored. Thus, reconversion can easily be executed, and the operability of correction operation and the reconversion ratio at the time of error conversion can be improved.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a kana-kanji conversion processing method in a Japanese input device, etc., and particularly in the case of erroneous conversion in multiple phrase conversion.
A Kana-Kanji conversion system that improves the operability of correcting incorrect conversions and the re-conversion rate by recovering the Kana character string to be converted and allowing re-conversion after specifying bunsetsu breaks at arbitrary positions according to operator instructions. Regarding processing method.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, as a method for improving the operability of kana-kanji conversion in Japanese input devices, etc.,
A known method is disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 9134, in which when a character string to be converted is input, it is decomposed into phrases mainly consisting of independent words, and the operator sequentially determines the intended phrase from the beginning.

However, this method does not take into consideration a method of restoring the converted character string after an erroneous conversion occurs during multi-phrase conversion, and re-converting the character string using the position intended by the operator as a bunsetsu break.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In kana-kanji conversion processing using multiple phrases, due to the characteristics of the Japanese language, the phrases cannot be uniquely determined, which may result in incorrect conversion.

In particular, when converting a character string that has the same reading as a prefix or suffix into kana-kanji, it is difficult to identify phrases. Conventionally, when an incorrect conversion occurs during kana-kanji conversion, the desired kanji character string is obtained by re-inputting from the beginning one phrase or one compound word at a time. However, in this case, there was a problem in that the converted kana character string had to be input again.

Another method is to keep pressing a specific key such as a conversion key and after the homonyms have gone through the cycle, or by pressing a specific key (pressing the control key and conversion key at the same time), the corresponding There is a method in which the pre-conversion character string of a phrase is shortened one character at a time and then reconverted, but this method is very cumbersome to operate and has the problem that it cannot be freely divided into phrases as intended by the operator.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to solve the above-mentioned problems in the conventional kana-kanji conversion processing method, and to add phrases to any position of the converted kana character string according to operator instructions. An object of the present invention is to provide a kana-kanji conversion processing method that allows easy re-conversion by specifying delimiters, improves the operability of correction work in the case of erroneous conversion, and improves the re-conversion rate.

[Means for solving problems]

The above object of the present invention is to provide a character input section and a nine character display section.

In a Japanese input device that has a dictionary storage unit and a kana-kanji conversion processing control unit that controls them, an error was noticed in the conversion of a converted character string containing kanji while inputting the converted kana character string data for kana-kanji conversion. In this case, after saving the data currently being converted, recover the converted kana character string corresponding to the conversion unit that includes the erroneous conversion part, specify a bunsetsu break at an arbitrary position according to the operator's instructions, and reconvert. This is achieved by a kana-kanji conversion processing method characterized in that after a desired character string containing kanji is obtained, the previously saved data under conversion processing is restored.

[Effect]

In the present invention, as soon as an erroneous conversion is noticed, the converted kana character string corresponding to the conversion unit that includes the erroneous conversion part is automatically recovered, so the erroneously converted kana character string is re-inputted. This eliminates the need for a bunsetsu break and allows the operator to specify a bunsetsu break at any position intended by the operator and perform kana-kanji conversion again using the converted kana character string that includes this bunsetsu break information. The aim is to improve the operability and reconversion rate.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a Japanese language input device which is an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a keyboard section, 2 is a control section that controls the entire apparatus, 3 is a character display section, and 4 is a dictionary storage section. The control unit 2 includes a plurality of converted kana character string buffers.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the flow of processing in the Japanese language input device of this embodiment. In addition, in Figure 3, the converted kana character string is "Omonakakaga all" and the desired kanji-mixed character string is "
FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a reconversion operation using the example sentence "The main painters are all."

The operation of this embodiment will be explained below based on FIGS. 1 to 3.

When inputting the above example sentence "All the main painters", there are a plurality of input methods for inputting reading characters from the keyboard section 1, such as a kana character input method or a Roman character input method. Further, as a kana-kanji conversion method for a character string input manually, there are phrase conversion, multiple phrase conversion, two-sentence batch conversion, automatic conversion, etc., and any method may be used.

Now, let us consider the case where the kana character string to be converted ``Omonaka Kaga All'' is inputted with a - pattern and is converted into ``Omonaka Kaga All'' by kana-kanji conversion (see FIG. 3(a)).

If, while inputting the next kana character string to be converted, the operator notices that the above-mentioned kana-kanji conversion "men-naga-kaga" is an incorrect conversion, the operator may move the cursor to the incorrect conversion position. The data currently being processed is saved (step 11). This saving is performed, for example, in a buffer in the control unit 2 (not shown).

Next, using the cursor position positioned at the erroneous conversion position by the above operation as a clue, the converted kana character string corresponding to the conversion unit including the erroneous conversion part is recovered (step 12.
(See figure (b)).

Next, by positioning the recovered converted kana character string using the cursor movement keys and pressing a certain key (for example, bunsetsu break key), bunsetsu break information is inserted (step 13. Figure 3 (c) )reference).

In the example shown in Figure 3 ('c), the phrases are divided into ``Omona'' and ``Gakaga''. The kana-kanji conversion is performed again using the converted kana character string including this clause delimiter information (step 14). As a result of this reconversion, if the desired character string containing kanji, ``all major painters'' is obtained (Figure 3 (d)
(see step 15.1), complete the re-conversion process and restore the data being converted that was previously saved in step 11 (step 15.1).
6).

According to the above-mentioned embodiment, compared to the conventional kana-kanji conversion method, it is possible to improve the operability of correction work in the case of erroneous conversion and to improve the re-conversion rate, as described below. That is, firstly, since the converted kana character string corresponding to the conversion unit including the erroneous conversion part is automatically recovered, there is no need to re-enter the converted kana character string that has been erroneously converted. It will be done.

Second, after specifying a bunsetsu break at an arbitrary position according to the operator's instructions, the conversion rate is improved because the kana-kanji conversion is performed again using the converted kana character string that includes this bunsetsu break information. It will be done.

In the above embodiment, an example was shown in which the bunsetsu break is specified using a separately provided "bunsetsu break key," but this may be done using another key.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, the single character input section 2
In a Japanese input device that has a character display section, a dictionary storage section, and a kana-kanji conversion processing control section that controls these, during the input of converted kana character string data for kana-kanji conversion, a converted character string containing kanji is input. When an erroneous conversion is noticed, the data currently being converted is saved, the converted kana character string corresponding to the conversion unit that includes the erroneous conversion part is recovered, and a bunsetsu break is specified at an arbitrary position according to the operator's instructions. After performing re-conversion and obtaining the desired character string containing kanji, the previously saved data during the conversion process is recovered, so the operator can specify a bunsetsu break at any position in the converted kana character string. By specifying this, it is possible to easily perform re-conversion, and it has the remarkable effect of realizing a kana-kanji conversion processing method that improves the operability of correction work in the case of erroneous conversion and improves the re-conversion rate.
