Abstract

PURPOSE:To perform the KANA (Japanese syllabary)/KANJI (Chinese characters) conversion in response to the degree of difficulty and to realize the production of a sentences with the Japanese reading added to KANJI, by referring to a KANJI type table containing the correspondence between the KANJI and its type showing the degree of difficulty after conversion into the KANA-KANJI character data. CONSTITUTION:A limit conversion key 1a of a keyboard 1 is pushed when the types of KANJI are limited. Then a grade setting key 1b and a ruby adding key 1c are pushed. Thus a KANA/KANJI converting part 8 checks with reference to a KANJI type table 9 whether the KANJI once converted belongs or not to those KANJI learned until the grade of an elementary school set by the key 1b. If not, the 'ruby codes' for the Japanese reading added to KANJI are added to the relevant KANJI code signals. While the unlearned KANJI are converted into KANA when the key 1c is not pushed. Thus it is possible to produce a sentence containing the Japanese reading added to KANJI in response to the degree of difficulty.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a kana-kanji conversion text creation device such as a Japanese word processor.

<Prior art> Generally, Japanese word processors have a dictionary memory for converting character strings input in hiragana into kanji, and this dictionary memory usually stores kanji of JIS No. 1 water Q2965 characters and JIS standard 2 Contains 3384 kanji. Further, special kanji characters other than the kanji characters of the JIS 1st level and JIS 2nd level kanji types are set as external characters and can be input into the dictionary memory.

Furthermore, in the kana-kanji conversion of Japanese word processors, the conversion efficiency of kana-kanji conversion is increased by increasing the number of dictionary items and adding proper nouns, as well as functions such as phrase conversion, continuous phrase conversion, and recently, batch conversion from kana input sentences. has been added, and the functionality of Japanese word processors is progressing.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> However, when creating teaching materials for elementary school or junior high school students using the above-mentioned conventional Japanese word processor, kana-kanji conversion is performed regardless of the student's grade. Therefore, there was a drawback that it was a waste of effort to correct the converted sentences containing kana and kanji into only the kanji that should be learned according to the target grade of the teaching material. Also,
In social studies teaching materials, it is often preferable to write proper nouns such as place names in kanji even if they are not English letters that should be learned. It is often better to use In such cases, consideration must be given to adding furigana, that is, ruby, to these kanji characters, but there is a problem in that conventional Japanese word processors cannot meet such demands.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to convert a kana character string input using an input means such as a keyboard into kana and kanji characters according to the difficulty level of only kanji of preset character types, and to convert the converted kanji into kanji. To provide a kana-kanji conversion text creation device capable of adding furigana to text as necessary.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the kana-kanji conversion text creation device of the present invention converts kana character data input from the input means into
Convert it to kana-kanji mixed sentence data using a kana-kanji conversion means,
In a kana-kanji conversion text creation device that outputs to a display section, a printing section, and an external storage means, a kanji type table is provided in which kanji characters and character types representing their difficulty levels are stored in association with each other. Instructs the kana-kanji conversion means whether to convert the character type into a kanji or a kanji with kana, and outputs kana data, kanji data, and kanji data with kana in accordance with the above instruction by referring to the kanji character type table. It is characterized by the following.

<Operation> The kana-kanji conversion means searches the kanji character type table for the kana character data input from the input means in accordance with the character type instruction from the input means, and converts only the corresponding kana character data into kanji data. Or convert to kanji data with kana. for example,
If an instruction is given from the input means to convert an easy character type to a kanji and a medium-difficulty character type to a kanji with kana, the kana-kanji conversion means searches the kanji character type table for that character type and responds accordingly. Only kana character data is converted into kanji data and kanji data with kana, and kana character data in which easy kanji and kanji of medium difficulty with kana are mixed is output to a display section, a printing section, and an external storage means.

<Example> Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to illustrated embodiments.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a Japanese word processor that is an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, ■ is a keyboard as an input means for inputting text data, etc.
Like conventional Japanese word processors, the keyboard has character keys such as alphanumeric and kana keys, as well as control keys, as well as instructions on whether or not to restrict the types of kanji to be converted into kana-kanji. Restriction conversion key 1a to specify the target grade level when adding restrictions to the type of kanji to be converted into kana-kanji.
It is equipped with nine grade setting keys 1b up to grade level, and an automatic ruby addition key IC for instructing whether or not to add furigana. Here, when the restriction conversion key 1a and the grade setting key 1b of the keyboard 1 are pressed, a corresponding command signal is transmitted via the input control unit 2 and the bus 20 to the kana-to-real-character conversion unit 8 as a kana-kanji conversion means. When the operator presses a key on this keyboard l to input text data, a code signal corresponding to each kana character of the input text (hereinafter referred to as a kana character code signal) is sent to the input control unit. 2 and the bus 20 to the text analysis section 5.

The text analysis unit 5 searches the grammar information dictionary 6 and the kana-kanji dictionary 7, which are comprised of, for example, a ROM, based on the input kana character code signal, and determines the clause of the input text data. A delimiter signal is added after each clause of the kana character code signal. The method of segmentation performed by the sentence analysis unit 5 is described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 118869/1983, and will not be described here. The kana character code signal including the phrase delimiter signal generated by the sentence analysis section 5 is sent to the kana-kanji conversion section 8 via the bus 20.

The kana-kanji conversion unit 8 searches the kana-kanji dictionary 7 and outputs the kanji code signal corresponding to the input kana character code signal including the bunsetsu break signal, and converts the kana character code signal, the kanji code signal, and the bunsetsu break signal. Generates a code signal for a sentence containing kana and kanji. At this time, if the restriction conversion key 1a of the keyboard l is pressed in advance and any of the grade setting keys [b] are pressed, information and settings regarding whether or not to perform restriction conversion of kanji character types. The information on the grade that has been assigned has been input into the kana-kanji conversion section 8 in advance. A kanji character type table 9 connected to the kana-kanji conversion unit 8 and configured in a ROM or RAM stores each kanji code and a grade code as a character type, which is information on the grade in which the kanji was acquired. The grade code of the kanji in this kanji type table 9 is "n", which is the grade code of the kanji learned in the nth grade of elementary school.
The grade code for the kanji that you learn when you are in the Nth grade of junior high school is “n+
6", and the grade code for kanji not learned in elementary school and junior high school is IO, and is coded using numbers from 1 to IO.

Here, if there is no need to update the contents of the kanji character type table 9, the kanji character type table 9 is configured in ROM, and on the other hand, if the content needs to be updated, the kanji character type table 9 is configured in flAM. The kanji character type table 9 is loaded from the external storage device 13 into the RAM of the kanji character type table 9 via the external storage control unit 12. Further, the RAM of the kanji character type table 9 is configured to have its power supply backed up by a backup battery (not shown) as necessary.

FIG. 2(a) is a display example 30 in which the contents of the kanji character type table 9 are displayed on the CRT display 4. In FIG. 2(a), a kanji and the above-mentioned grade code of that kanji are displayed. . In Figure 2 (a), for example, "Iku-11" is displayed, which indicates that the kanji "Iku" is a kanji learned in the fourth grade of elementary school, which corresponds to the grade code "・1". ing. Here, in Figure 2 (a), CR the grade code of "臥" whose grade code is blank
T display - [If you enter the grade code "7" acquired in the first year of junior high school above, CRT display 4
After moving the upper cursor 32 to "O", enter the number "7" using the numeric keypad (not shown) on the keyboard L, and the information of the number "7" will be displayed on the keyboard L. is displayed on the CRT display 4 as shown in the screen 31 in FIG. This is input into the character type table 9, and "7" is stored as the grade code corresponding to the kanji code for "臥".

If the information to restrict the type of kanji is input to the kana-kanji converter 8 from the restriction conversion key 1a, the kana-kanji converter 8 inputs the previously converted kanji to the grade setting key 1b. It is determined whether or not the kanji has been learned by a preset grade by referring to the kanji type table 9. That is, since the grade code corresponding to each kanji is stored in the kanji type table 9 as described above, the kana-kanji converter 8 determines that the grade code of the kanji to be determined is equal to the grade code of the set grade. or when the kanji is small, it is determined that the kanji has been learned by the set grade, and the code signal of that kanji is left as is, while the grade code of the kanji being judged is the grade of the set grade. When it is larger than the code,
The code signal of the kanji is converted into one or more kana character code signals, and a code signal of a sentence containing kana and kanji with restrictions on the types of kanji is generated.

On the other hand, when the kana-kanji conversion unit 8 receives information that ruby is to be added from the automatic ruby addition key IC together with the information that the character types are to be restricted, the above-mentioned kanji code signal is A ruby code signal is added to a kanji code signal without converting it to a code.

Furthermore, when only the information to add ruby is input to the kana-kanji converter 8, when a proper noun conversion key (not shown) is pressed, a ruby code signal is added to the converted kanji code signal. It will be added automatically.

A coat signal for a sentence containing kana and kanji with restrictions on the type of kanji generated in this way, a coat signal for a sentence containing kana and kanji when no restriction is applied to the type of kanji, or a kana with ruby added. The code signal of the sentence containing kanji is outputted from the kana-kanji conversion section 8 to the CRT display 4 via the bus 20 and the display control section 3 and displayed as a sentence.
A print command signal is issued by pressing a print key (not shown) on the keyboard 1 and reaches the kana-kanji conversion unit 8 via the input control unit 2 and the bus 20. The text is printed out as a mixture of kana and kanji. Furthermore, by pressing a registration key (not shown) on the keyboard l as necessary, the registration command signal is inputted to the kana-kanji conversion unit 8 via the input control unit 2 and the bus 20, and the registration command signal In response, the kana-kanji conversion section 8 outputs the code signal of the kana-kanji mixed sentence to the external storage device 13 such as a floppy disk device via the external storage control section 12, and outputs the code signal of the kana-kanji mixed sentence data can be stored on a floppy disk or the like installed in the storage device 13.

Part 3 about the operation of the Japanese word processor with the above configuration.
The process will now be described with reference to the flowchart shown in the figure and a display example on the CR'r display 4 shown in FIG.

Steps (a) to (c) in FIG. 3 involve inputting sentences using kana input using the keyboard l and segmentation of phrases in the sentence analysis unit 5 using the grammar information dictionary 6, similar to conventional Japanese word processors. After the work and the kana-kanji conversion processing in the kana-kanji conversion unit 8 using ordinary kanji types such as JIS first level and JIS second level are performed in a known manner, the process proceeds to step (d).

In step (d), it is determined whether or not the restriction conversion key 1a on the keyboard 1 is pressed, that is, whether or not to restrict the type of kanji characters, and it is determined that the type of kanji characters will not be restricted. If so, proceed to step (H), and the kana-kanji converter 8 outputs the code signal of the sentence containing kana-kanji to the CI'(, T display 4 via the bus 20 and the display controller 3, as in the conventional case. This processing routine ends after displaying a sentence 40 containing kana and kanji as shown in FIG. Proceed to step (E) and check whether the ruby addition key 1c on the keyboard l is pressed or not.
That is, it is determined whether or not to add ruby to the image for conversion. If it is determined that ruby is to be added, the process proceeds to step (to), and the kana-kanji conversion unit 8 converts the previously converted kanji into kanji that have been acquired by the grade set in advance with the grade setting key 1b. It is determined whether or not it is by referring to the Kanji character type table 9. That is, when the grade code of the kanji to be determined is equal to or smaller than the grade code of the set grade, the kana-kanji conversion unit 8 determines that the kanji has been learned by the set grade. If the grade code of the alphabetic character to be determined is larger than the grade code of the set grade, one or more ruby code signals for furigana are added to the kanji code signal. do.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step (po) above that ruby is not to be added, proceed to step (g), and the kana-kanji converter 8
In the same manner as described above, the user determines whether or not the kanji once converted is a kanji learned by a preset grade by referring to the kanji type table 9.

That is, when the grade code of the kanji to be determined is equal to or smaller than the grade code of the set grade, the kana-kanji conversion unit 8 determines that the kanji has been learned by the set grade. The code signal of that kanji is left as is, but if the grade code of the kanji to be determined is greater than the grade code of the set grade, the code signal of that kanji is converted back into one or more kana character code signals. , it generates a code signal for a sentence containing kana and kanji with restrictions on the types of kanji.

Here, for example, suppose that the text data shown in FIG. The above display looks like display example 50 in FIG. By comparing FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the "drop" 41 of FIG. “Residence”
42. As shown in Figure 5, "shizuku" 51. "I" 52
．． "Yu" 53° is reverse converted into kana characters "Issho" 54 and "Ko" 55. Further, for example, if the text data shown in FIG. 4 is input from the keyboard 1 and the ruby addition key 1c is pressed together with the 6th grade elementary school key among the grade setting keys tb on the keyboard l, step (
The display on the CIRT display 4 in h) is shown in Figure 6.
Display example 60 is shown below. By comparing FIG. 4 and FIG. 6, it can be seen that the "drop" 41 and the "drop" 42 in FIG. “Yo” 43. Figure 6 for the kanji “-” 44 and “komi” 45.
As shown in the figure, 65 rubies are added.

In the above embodiment, the input text data is divided into clauses by the text analysis unit 5 and then converted into kana-kanji, but it is also possible to convert the input text data into kana-kanji without segmentation. good.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the input text data is once subjected to normal kana-kanji conversion, and then the kanji that have not been acquired by the set grade are reversely converted from kanji to kana characters. However, the input text data may be directly converted into kana-kanji based on a character type table of kanji learned up to a set grade. moreover,
In the above embodiment, the kanji character types of the output text data are limited to education and English characters from the first grade of elementary school to the third year of junior high school, but this is not limited to this. It may be possible to create a kanji character table based on the type restriction and convert kana to kanji based on the kanji type table.

<Effects of the Invention> As is clear from the above 1. According to the kana-kanji conversion text creation device of the present invention, the kana character data outputted from the input means can be converted into AI-based data using the kana-kanji conversion means. Among the character types in the kanji type table ranked by grade, only specific character types that correspond to the instructions from the above input means can be converted to kanji data or (anti-named kanji data). To create a kana-kanji mixed sentence including kanji and kanji with kana corresponding to the computability level such as kanji, etc., and to display, print, or memorize this, which has a remarkable effect in creating teaching materials, etc.
