Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate input troublesomeness by registering a word having one head KANA (Japanese syllabary) character of the highest using frequency in a memory and displaying and selecting the registered word via a key input. CONSTITUTION:When a conversion key is pushed after a conversion start key and then a key corresponding to the reading of a word, a controller 2 accesses a registering memory 5 to check the presence or absence of registered words. If the registered words are confirmed, a word having the highest using frequency is displayed on a display. If no registered word is confirmed, the controller 2 accesses a word memory 4 containing a frequency learning function to display a word having the highest using frequency on the display 3 among those reading types. If no word desired by a user is offered, the next candidate is selected via a keyboard 1 and the display 3. The controller 2 compares the using frequencies with each other for the words registered in one desired head KANA character stored in an automatically registered word memory 6 for single head KANA character reading. Then the controller 2 replaces the contents of the memory 6 with the word having the highest using frequency and outputs a list. The relevant word is displayed with operation of a key.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION "Field of Industrial Application" The present invention relates to a word processor capable of processing Japanese.

``Prior Art'' Conventionally, this type of word processor has a frequency learning function, and frequently used words are displayed at the beginning when converting kanji, and can be confirmed as is by pressing a confirmation key or the like. In addition, if a single word (long word) is registered in advance in a short pronunciation convenient to the user using the word registration function, it is possible to input the short pronunciation.

. FIG. 6 shows an example of a conventional Japanese word processor, in which 1 is a keyboard, 2 is a control device, 3 is a display, 4 is a word memory equipped with a frequency learning function, and 5 is a word memory for registration. be.

The word memory 4 equipped with a frequency learning function serves as a basic dictionary and is created in advance. The registration word memory 5 is a dictionary that can be freely registered by the user. These word memories 4.5 have an area reserved for storing the number of times each word has been used.

An example of operating in kana-kanji conversion mode in this configuration will be shown. First, press the kanji beginning key or conversion start key on the keyboard L, then press the key corresponding to the reading of the word at 0, and finally press the kanji path key or conversion key, and the control device 2, first register word memory 5
and check whether there are any registered words.

The case where "Kyosei" is input is shown below as an example.

If there is a registered word, the most frequent registered word is displayed on the display 3 according to its frequency.

If there is no registered word, the control device 2 accesses the word memory 4 and displays on the display 3 the most frequently used word among the corresponding pronunciations. At this time, if the word desired by the user does not appear, the next candidate is selected using the keyboard 1 and the display 3, and the desired word is displayed and selected.

In this example, "Forced" is displayed, but the user cannot
Let's say you want to use "Correction". At this time, the user enters the selection mode and displays the desired "correction" on the display. At this time, the number of times the selected word is used is counted, so the next time the word is more likely to be displayed at the top, and as the selection is repeated, the word will always be displayed at the top. In the case of this example, by using such a method, the user always has the word "correction" that he or she wants displayed at the top, so that the user does not have to make a selection.

``Problems to be solved by the invention'' However, in the conventional Japanese word processors mentioned above, especially in the case of words with long pronunciations, the pronunciation must be input every time even though the words are used frequently. However, it has the disadvantage that input is cumbersome. for example,
In the example above, it would take six key presses, including the shift key, to input "Kiyousei."

In order to eliminate this drawback, the user can use the word registration function to register in the registration word memory 5 in advance a short pronunciation that is convenient for the user.

In this case, for example, by registering "correction" with the pronunciation "kise", it is possible to input it with two keys. However, with this method, it takes time and effort to register, and it is also necessary to memorize the abbreviations of the pronunciations. When the number of registered abbreviations increases, it takes time to remember them, making smooth input difficult.

The present invention was made against this background, and it is possible to automatically register a word for the first kana character, and display and select it using a specific key and one or more kana characters. In this way, we provide a Japanese word processor that eliminates the above-mentioned troublesome human power.

"Means for Solving the Problems" In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides (1) a Japanese word processor that performs kana-kanji conversion, a memory in which words are registered, and a memory for each word to be used for kanji conversion. a memory for storing the number of times the word has been used, a memory for storing the most frequently used word among the first kana characters of the pronunciation of each word, and a keyboard including special keys for performing special conversions. Immediately after pressing the special conversion key, when one kana character or the equivalent of one kana character in Romaji is pressed, the first kana character is converted to the word that is used most frequently among the first kana characters. shall be.

(2) In a Japanese word processor that performs kana-kanji conversion, there is a memory that stores words, a memory that stores the number of times each word is used for kanji conversion, and a memory that stores each word in the first kana character of the word's reading. n in descending order of frequency
It has a memory that stores words, and a keyboard that includes special keys for special conversion, and immediately after pressing the key for special conversion from the keyboard, press one kana character or the equivalent of one kana character in Roman letters. When the first kana 1 is
It is characterized in that it converts characters into the word that has been used most often, and also allows (n-1) words to be selected as next candidates in order of the number of times that they have been used next.

(3) In the Japanese word brosé sensor that performs kana-kanji conversion, there is a memory that stores words, a memory that stores the number of times each word is used for kanji conversion, and a memory that stores the first kana m character of each word's reading. It has a memory that stores n words in descending order of frequency of use, and a keyboard that includes a special key that performs special conversion. When you press m kana characters and perform kanji conversion, the input m kana characters are selected from the memory that stores n words in order of frequency of use among the first m kana characters. This feature is characterized in that the word is converted to the word that has been used most frequently, and the remaining words can be selected as next candidates in the order of the number of times that they have been used.

"Operation" The present invention automatically registers words whose pronunciation is the first one, two, or n letters in the memory according to the number of times they are used.

And the operation of special keys or keys that replace them,
The most important feature is that the word can be displayed and selected using the one-character, two-character, or m-character keys.

Compared to the conventional technology, the above-mentioned word registration function and display function have been added.

"Embodiment" Embodiment 1 FIG. 1 is a plot diagram showing the configuration of Embodiment 1 of the present invention, in which 1 is a keyboard, 2 is a control device, 3 is a display, and 4 is a word keyboard equipped with a frequency learning function. Memory 5 is a word memory for registration, and 6 is an automatic registration word memory for reading the first kana character.

FIG. 2 shows how the words are stored in the automatic registration word memory 6. The automatic registration word memory 6 stores one word along with its pronunciation and usage frequency corresponding to the first character of each word.

An example of operating in kana-kanji conversion mode in such a configuration will be shown.

First, press the kanji beginning key or conversion start key on the keyboard L, then press the key corresponding to the reading of the word, and then press the kanji path key or conversion key.
First, the registered word memory 5 is accessed to check whether there is a registered word.

As an example, the case where "Seisho" is input is shown below.

If there is a registered word, the most frequent registered word is displayed on the display 3 according to its frequency.

If there is no registered word, the control device 2 accesses the word memory 4 and displays on the display 3 the most frequently used word among the corresponding pronunciations. At this time, if the word desired by the user does not appear, the next candidate is selected using the keyboard 1 and the display 3, and the desired word is displayed and selected.

In the example case, ``Seisho'' is displayed, but the user wants to use ``Song in unison.'' In this case, the user enters the selection mode, displays the desired "singing in unison" on the display, and selects it. At this time, the control device 2 counts the number of times the selected word is used in the word memory 4 or the registration word memory 5, and also counts the number of times the selected word is used in the word memory 4 or the registration word memory 5, and also counts the number of times the selected word is used in the word memory 4 or the registration word memory 5, and also counts the number of times the selected word is used in the word memory 4 or registration word memory 5. Compare the number of times a word (for example, "coal") is used, and if "sing in unison" is the same or larger, "sing in unison" is registered for "se".

In this example, the number of times "coal" is used is 7 times, and "singing"
If you select 7 times, the content of "se" in automatic registration word memory 6 will be replaced with "sing in unison." If "Song" is used frequently in this way, the user can use Keyboard 1 and Display 3 to select the first kana by menu selection, etc.
Outputs a list of automatically registered vehicle words. At this time, if "Song" is on the table, from next time on, when you press "Se" immediately after pressing the special key on the keyboard L, the control device 2 will automatically register the word with the first kana character reading. The word registered in "se" in the memory 6, that is, "sing in unison" is displayed.

Embodiment 2 FIG. 1 is also a diagram for explaining Embodiment 2 of the present invention. In the second embodiment, the automatic registration word memory 6 registers a plurality of words for one character, as shown in FIG. 3(a).

Therefore, in this example, when the user uses "song" twice, it is added to the automatically registered words of "se" as shown in FIG. 3(b).

An example of operating in kana-kanji conversion mode in such a configuration will be shown. Example I when inputting with “Seisho”
It is similar to

In this example, it is assumed that "singing in unison" has been replaced with "line table" as shown in FIG. 3(b). The user uses the keyboard
By pressing "se" immediately after pressing the special key located at
In addition to displaying the most frequently used word ``coal,'' the registered words ``grades'' and ``chorus'' are called up as selectable words. At this time, the word "song" that the user wants is not displayed, so use the keyboard L and display 3 to
Select the next candidate. This allows you to display and confirm the chorus. At this time, the number of times "singing in unison" is counted up and reaches five times, and when it becomes the same as the number of "results", singing in unison will be ranked second. Furthermore, if you use "Sing in unison" two more times, and the number of times you use it reaches 7, "Sing in unison" will become
Since it is ranked first, it will be displayed first by pressing the special key + "se".

Embodiment 3 FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing the configuration of Embodiment 3 of the present invention, in which l is a keyboard, 2 is a control device, 3 is a display, 4 is a word memory equipped with a frequency learning function, and 5 is a registration device. 6 is an automatic registration word memory with a first kana character reading, and 7 is an automatic registration word memory with a first kana character reading of 2 characters.

Of these, automatic registration word memory 6 for the reading of the first kana character
FIG. 3(a) shows how words are stored in the automatic registration word memory 7 with the reading of the first two characters in kana. FIG. 5(a) shows how words are stored in the automatic registration word memory 7.

In this example, three words are registered in descending order of usage frequency in FIG. 3(a), and two words are registered in descending order of usage frequency in FIG. 5. When the user uses "song" twice, it is added to the automatically registered words, replacing "line table" in FIG. 3 and "restriction" in FIG. 5.

An example of operating in kana-kanji conversion mode in such a configuration will be shown. An example of how to do it manually with “Let’s do it”! It is similar to

In this example, "singing in unison" is replaced with "line table" as shown in Figure 3 (b), and "singing in unison" is replaced with "line table" as shown in Figure 5 (b).
Assume that it has been replaced by "Limit".

Immediately after the user presses a special key on the keyboard 1 and then presses ``Sei'' and then performs the kanji odor change operation, the control device 2 automatically registers the word in the automatic registration word memory 7 with the reading of the first two characters. Among the words registered in a certain "sei", the most frequently used "grade" is displayed, and the registered word "song" is called up as a selectable word. The subsequent procedure is the same as in Example 2.

In addition, in this example, by inputting the special key + "Seishi" at the time of input, among the words registered in "Seishi" in the automatic registration word memory 7 of the first two characters reading, the word starting with "Seishi" is selected. Since only words are displayed, only "singing in unison" is displayed. In other words, by first using ``Seisho'' twice, the next ``Seisho'' will display ``Sing in unison'', and by using it a total of 5 times, ``Seisho'' will be displayed as ``Sing''.
"Sing in unison" will be displayed, and if you use it a total of 7 times, "Sing in unison" will be displayed with "se".

In the first to third embodiments described above, a special key is used, but a single kana character may be substituted for the special key. As a representative example, a case where one special kana character is used in Example 3 will be shown in Example 4.

Embodiment 4 FIG. 4 is also a diagram for explaining Embodiment 4 of the present invention. An example of operating in kana-kanji conversion mode with this configuration is shown below.

In this example, it is assumed that "n" is defined as a special kana character. First, press the kanji beginning key or conversion start key on keyboard 1, then press the key that corresponds to the reading of the word, and then press the kanji path key or conversion key.
The control device 2 first accesses the registration word memory 5 and checks whether there is a registered word.

As an example, a case where you want to input "singing in unison" will be shown below. The case of inputting "Let's serve" is the same as in the first embodiment. Also, by using "Sing in unison" twice, the user can
Assume that "singing in unison" has been replaced with "line table" as shown in FIG. 5(b), and "singing in unison" has been replaced with "restriction" as shown in FIG. 5(b).

The user presses the kanji beginning key or the conversion start key on the keyboard l to input "nshii". After that, when performing the kanji conversion operation, the control device 2 determines that the first kana is "
It recognizes that the word is ``n'' and displays the most frequently used ``grade'' among the words registered in ``sei'' in the two-letter automatic registration word memory 7, and also displays the registered word ``song''. ” as a selectable word.

The subsequent procedure is the same as in Example 2.

Note that in this example, only "Singing in unison" is displayed by inputting "Noseishi" manually at the time of input. In other words, at first "
By using it twice with "Seisho", "sing in unison" will be displayed next with "seishi", and by using it a total of 5 times, "singing in unison" will be displayed with "sei", and then a total of 7 By using it once, "Sing in unison" will be displayed in "Nose".

This special kana character key does not necessarily have to be "n", but it is desirable because there are no actual words starting with "n" and it does not conflict with other word registrations.

Other special symbols such as "wo", "$", and "#" are possible, but in the case of "wo", on a JIS keyboard,
This is not desirable because it requires pressing the shift key.

In the above examples, we have considered kana-kanji conversion, but the same thing is possible with romaji-kanji conversion.

In both cases, the word registration function allows you to sing in unison.
For example, in Example 4, by registering "Nse"
If you register "Sing in unison" as "Sing in unison", you can input "Sing in unison" with "Nse" without having to use it several times first. According to this word registration function, even by registering long words as they are pronounced, it is possible to input short characters as described in the above embodiment.

(5) As described in detail, according to the present invention, words that are always used are a combination of a special key and one kana character, or "n".
By combining one character such as and one kana character, you can easily input without memorizing abbreviations. Furthermore, if a desired word cannot be displayed with just one character, increasing the number of characters from the beginning will make it easier to display. Therefore, a word initially displayed with four letters will be displayed with three letters, two letters, and one letter as it is used.

This allows frequently used words to be entered using shorter characters, thereby improving the overall input speed.
