Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve operability and prevent the increase of the number of homonyms to improve the hit rate by linking a second selected dictionary to a first dictionary to perform KANA (Japanese syllabary)-KANJI (Chinese character) conversion. CONSTITUTION:When receiving input data, a control part 3 sends a retrieval signal corresponding to input data to a dictionary part 2 to perform retrieval. A first dictionary 11 is first retrieved, and a KANJI 11a is picked up as retrieval data if the KANJI 11a corresponding to input data exists there as the result. A second dictionary (field-classified dictionary) linked to the first dictionary is next retrieved. If a KANJI 12a corresponding to input data exists there as the result of retrieval in the second dictionary 12, it is picked up as retrieval data, and the control part 3 fetches the KANJI 11a pickup up form the first dictionary 11 and the KANJI 12a as retrieval data 103. Thus, second dictionaries 12 are not preliminarily merged and a user can properly select and use the second dictionary according with his purpose, and the reduction of the hit rate due to the increase of the number of homonyms is prevented.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a Japanese input device such as a word processor having a kana-kanji conversion means for converting into characters.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, a word processor having a first dictionary for converting kana-kanji and a second dictionary for converting a plurality of kana-kanji
When using a dictionary, the user generally merges the second dictionary he or she wants to use into the basic first dictionary before using the second dictionary.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

By the way, when using the second dictionary as described above, the first
There is a problem in that the second dictionary that is desired to be used must be merged with the dictionary, and if another second dictionary is used, the merge must be performed again. Furthermore, since the second dictionaries used differ depending on the user, it is necessary to merge a plurality of second dictionaries at the same time so that many users can use the second dictionaries. In this case, the number of homophones included in the dictionary increases to include a large number of homophones (-, and as a result, a certain field (
Second, it contains completely unnecessary words. Therefore, for users, there is a problem that the hit rate of kana-kanji conversion decreases.

The purpose of the present invention is to create a second dictionary without merging it in advance.
To provide a word processor that allows a user to appropriately select and use a second dictionary that he or she wants to use depending on the purpose, and prevents a decrease in hit rate due to an increase in homophones.

[Means for solving problems]

A Japanese input device such as a word processor according to the present invention (=) includes: a kana-kanji conversion means for inputting a kana character string and converting the kana character string into a kanji-kana interlaced character string; a first dictionary for kana-kanji conversion; a plurality of second dictionary groups for kana-kanji conversion; a selection means for selecting one or more dictionaries from the second dictionary group; and the selected second dictionary and the first dictionary. and a connecting means for connecting the two.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to examples.

Referring to FIG. 1, a word processor according to the present invention includes an input section 1. Dictionary part 2. Sub-control 3. and a display section 4. The control section 3 has a kana-kanji conversion means 1 selection means and a connection means.

The input unit 1 has keys (not shown) for the operator to input operation instructions, and the dictionary unit 2 (= stores a first dictionary and various second dictionaries. The section 4 displays the contents of the second dictionary and the kanji/kana interlaced character strings. 2 dictionaries are called, and the connecting means 1; thus, this selected second dictionary is connected with the first dictionary, and data is retrieved from these dictionaries.

The first dictionary A is used for converting kana to kanji, and stores basic words such as common words and names of places and people. In addition, a second dictionary group B is composed of the various second dictionaries mentioned above, and the second dictionary group Bζ: is used as a dictionary containing special words used in a specific field and as an auxiliary to the first dictionary. It houses the so-called field-specific dictionaries used.

The input unit 1 has a function key 1a in addition to the usual alphabetical character keys (not shown).

When selecting the second dictionary, press function key 1a
Press . Moreover, when switching to another second dictionary, the other second dictionary can be selected by pressing the function key 1a again. That is, when the function key 1a is pressed down, the control section 3
Select one second dictionary from dictionary group B.

The contents of this second dictionary are displayed on the display section 4.

When input data 101 is input from the input unit 1 to the control unit 3 (by two people), the control unit 3 outputs a display signal 104 corresponding to the input data.
is sent to the display section 4, and at the same time, a search signal 102 is sent to the dictionary section 2.

Then, based on the search data sent from the dictionary section 2 in response to the search signal, the control section 3 converts the input data 101 into a kana-kanji intersection sentence, and sends this kana-kanji intersection sentence to the display section 4 as a display signal. do. The display unit 4 converts the display signal into a visible pattern and displays a kana-kanji intersection sentence.

Here, dictionary search will be explained with reference to FIG.

Upon receiving the input data, the control section 3 sends a search signal corresponding to the input data to the dictionary section 2.

Perform a search. First, a search is performed on the first word W11, and as a result, when a kanji character 11a corresponding to the input data exists, the kanji character 11a is picked up as search data. Subsequently, a search is performed on the second dictionary (field-specific dictionary) 12 connected to the first dictionary. As a result of the search with the second dictionary $12, if there is a corresponding kanji 12a in the input data, it is picked up as search data and the kanji 11a- read earlier from the first dictionary 11 is combined with this kanji 12a. The control unit 3 takes in the search data 103 as the search data 103.゛If there is a plurality of search data corresponding to the input data, that is, if there are homophones, the selection is made at the discretion of the user (operator).

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, it is possible to omit all troublesome advance preparations when using the second dictionary, and furthermore, it is possible to easily select the second dictionary according to the user's needs. Because it can be done.

This has the effect of improving the hit rate by improving operability and preventing an increase in homophones.
