Abstract

PURPOSE:To form a reference description document by providing the title device with a word storing means for storing description data and storing reference description data. CONSTITUTION:When a 'KANA' (Japanese syllabary) character string is inputted from an input key 1a, the inputted data are stored in a character string storage part 2. When a conversion key 1b is depressed, a 'KANJI' (Chinese character) conversion control part 4 selects a 'KANA'-'KANJI' mixed output character string from a word dictionary 5 for the data of the 'KANA' character string stored in the storage part 2 under control based upon an edition control part 3. Consequently, plural character strings are displayed on a display device 7. When a prescribed key is depressed, a reference description retrieving part 8 retrieves the description data of the reference description character string in the word storage part 5 and outputs the retrieved data. Thereby, the reference description character string is displayed on the display device 7 through an output character string storage part 6. Thus, the reference description document can be formed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a kana-kanji conversion device that converts a character string input in kana to a sentence containing kana and kanji.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In recent years, kana-kanji conversion devices have been widely used in various Japanese language processing devices, including Japanese word processors, as devices for inputting Japanese characters.

In general, there are many homonyms in Japanese words. Therefore, a normal kana-kanji conversion device performs kana-kanji conversion on the input kana string, and as a result, there are multiple homonyms. The system is configured so that the user can select one candidate from among these homophone candidates.For example, by inputting the kana string "taisei" from an input device such as a keyboard, When the conversion is performed, the Kana-Kanji conversion device displays "1 posture,""2Taisei,""3retreat," and "4 posture ha, "5 Taisai" on the display. Here, the user can select these homonyms. If the user wants to select "many" from among the words, the desired candidate can be obtained by pressing the key corresponding to the number "2" provided on the input device.

In addition, since the orthography is not fixed in Japanese, there may be multiple orthography with different ``Ukana'' for - words (hereinafter abbreviated as ``orthography fluctuations'').

In the conventional kana-kanji conversion device, even when there are variations in the spelling, the desired spelling can be selected using the same method as when there are homophones as described above. For example, if you input the Kana string "Uchiawase" from the input device of the Kana-Kanji converter and perform Kana-Kanji conversion, the Kana-Kanji converter will output the following characters: "1. Meeting", "2. Meeting", "3. Meeting", " 4. It is output to the display device as a conversion candidate with a different notation such as "Let's have a meeting." Here, if the user wants to select "meeting" from among the candidates with variations in notation, the desired candidate can be obtained by pressing the key corresponding to the number "1" on the input device.

As mentioned above, there are variations in orthography in Japanese, but when creating a document for personal use, users can freely choose the orthography at their own discretion, and there is no variation in orthography. It is extremely rare for its presence to cause any harm.

Problems that the invention aims to solve In general, official documents such as official documents, laws and regulations, newspapers, etc.
(Japanese Vice-Ministers Meeting Agreement), “Commonly Used Kanji Table” (1971)
(Cabinet Notification No. 1 of 2003), “Orikana no Tsukukehata J (1973)
In many cases, standard notations such as Cabinet Notification No. 2 of 2012 are established (and when creating these documents, standard notations must be followed.

However, with the above conventional configuration, when a user attempts to use the kana-kanji conversion device to create official documents such as official documents, laws and regulations, and newspapers, the user must refer to a dictionary or the like every time a word is converted and check the notation. The problem is that documents must be created according to rules, and it takes time to create the documents.

In order to solve the above problem, a Kana-Kanji conversion device that only remembers candidates for the standard notation could be considered, but with a device configured like this, it is possible for the user to have incorrect kanji candidates that they believe are correct. Therefore, users create a single word by combining kanji obtained by single groove conversion and parts of words obtained by conversion.
As a result, there was a risk of creating incorrect okurikana words. For example, when a user is trying to convert ``uchikomu'', the user may think that ``uchikuru'' is the correct notation, even though the standard notation is ``uchikum'', and the user may not be able to convert the kana-kanji character into ``uchikum''. Since I couldn't get the word 'uchikuru', I decided that there was no 'uchikuru' in the dictionary, so I created 'baku', deleted only 'geki', and created 'uchikuru' from 'uchi' and 'kumu'. This is the case when you end up doing something like this.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention provides word storage means for storing notation data and storing which notation data is standard notation data, and selecting standard notation data for selected notation data. It is equipped with a standard notation data selection means.

Effect With the above configuration, even if the user selects notation data that is not in the standard notation, the standard notation data for that notation data is ultimately selected. You can create a document with standard notation while confirming that it is not.

Embodiment Hereinafter, a kana-kanji conversion device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of a kana-kanji conversion device in one embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, there are multiple kana input keys 18 for inputting character strings such as 1 and other characters, and a notation consisting of multiple kana and/or kanji obtained by performing kana-kanji conversion on the inputted kana character string. An input device having a conversion key 1b for selecting a desired candidate from candidates, 2 stores a kana character string (hereinafter abbreviated as input kana character string) inputted from the shorthand key 1a. A character string storage unit 3 executes a process of kana-kanji conversion on an input kana character string, displays a character string consisting of a plurality of candidates obtained as a result of the kana-kanji conversion (hereinafter referred to as an output character string), and outputs characters. An editing control unit controls the execution of standard notation search processing for one candidate character string selected by the user from the string; 4 is an input kana character string stored in the character string storage unit 2; A kana-kanji conversion control unit 5 that performs kana-kanji conversion stores word reading data and notation data including kanji for each word, and also stores which notation data is standard notation data. a word storage unit; 6, an output character string storage unit that stores notation data for a character string selected by the user among the output character strings, together with data indicating a storage location of the notation data in the word storage unit 5; 7, an output character; A display device 8 displays the character strings stored in the string storage section 6, and a standard notation search section 8 selects a standard notation character string for the character string selected by the user from among the output character strings.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the kana-kanji conversion device of this embodiment, where 11 is a keyboard, 12 is a central processing unit, 13 is a read-only memory, and 14 is a random access memory. The input device 1 in FIG. 1 is a keyboard. 11, the word storage unit 5 is read-only memory 13,
The character string storage unit 2 and the output character string storage unit 6 are each implemented by a random access memory 14, and the editing control unit 3, kana-kanji conversion control unit 4, and standard notation search unit 8 are centrally processed! This is realized by executing the program stored in the read-only memory 13 while communicating with the random access memory 14.

The operation of the kana-kanji conversion apparatus constructed as described above will be explained below with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

When the user attempts to create a sentence in standard notation, the user presses the standard notation mode selection key (omitted in the figure) provided on the keyboard 11 to set the kana-kanji converter to standard notation mode. .

When the kana character string "Uchikomu" is input from the kana input key-1a in step A, the input data is transferred to step B.
is stored in the character string storage unit 2, and simultaneously displayed on the display bag W7 as shown in FIG.

Further, in step C, the editing control unit 3 checks whether the conversion key 1b has been pressed, and if the conversion key 1b has not been pressed, it waits in step A until another kana character string is input. If the conversion key 1b is pressed in step C, the editing control unit 3 instructs the kana-kanji conversion control unit 4 to perform kana-kanji conversion in step D. In response to this, the kana-kanji conversion control unit 4 selects an output character string containing kana-kanji from the word storage unit 5 for the data of the kana character string stored in the character string storage unit 2, and outputs the output character string. 6. Next, in step E, the editing control section 3 transfers the data of the output character string to the output character string storage section 6, and as shown in FIG. The columns are displayed on the display device 7. In Step F, when the user selects "Enter", which is one of a plurality of character strings, by pressing a number key (not shown in the figure) provided on the input device 1, Step G The editing control unit 3 instructs the standard notation search unit 8 to search for a standard notation character string for the candidate character string selected by the user. For the character string ``Uchikomu'', there are two homophones ``Uchikume'' and ``Kekkume'', and for each, ``Kekkuru'' and ``Kekkume'' exist as different candidates for the sending kana. Here, the notation data for "uchikomu" is stored in the word storage unit 5 in the data structure shown in FIG. That is, in the word storage unit 5, "kiteru" and "kiteru" are regarded as one group, "shoot" and "kemitu" are regarded as another group, and a homophone group number is assigned to each group. In addition, within each homophone group, the standard notation is
Data indicating that the notation data is a standard notation is stored. The standard notation search unit 8 retrieves the storage location of the character string selected by the user in the word storage unit 5 from the output character string storage unit 6, and searches for each of the same homophone groups in the word storage unit 5. By searching the notation data, the notation data of the standard notation for the character string selected by the user is found, and the data is transferred to the editing storage section 3.

Furthermore, in step H, the editing control unit 3 transfers the data output in step G to the output character string storage unit 6, and displays the character string “type” corresponding to the data on the display device 7, as shown in FIG. do. At this time, a buzzer (not shown in the figure) goes off in response to displaying a candidate different from the candidate selected by the user on the display device 7, and the user recognizes that the standard notation candidate has been selected. It is configured to allow

As explained above, according to this embodiment, even if the user mistakenly thinks that "type in" is the standard notation data, and the user selects "type in", the display device 7 does not display the standard data. The notation ``type in'' will be displayed, and the user will see the notation ``type in'' (, ``type in'').
At the same time, it suggests that this is a standard notation, and at the same time creates a document using the standard notation.

In this embodiment, when a candidate different from the one selected by the user is displayed, a buzzer sounds, indicating that the kana-kanji converter has automatically changed the standard notation to the display device 7. This can also be achieved by displaying the information.

Additionally, kana-kanji conversion devices generally have a learning system that stores the notation previously selected by the user, and when displaying candidates obtained through kana-kanji conversion next time, the previously selected candidate is displayed with priority. Functions are provided. When the user attempts to create a sentence in the standard notation using a conventional kana-kanji conversion device that has this learning function, the standard notation that does not use book membranes becomes the higher priority, and the user has to write the standard notation again. When trying to create a normal sentence, the standard notation is prioritized and the user has to select the one they usually use.

However, according to this embodiment, even in the standard notation mode, if the user selects the notation that he or she usually uses, the user can automatically obtain a text in the standard notation, so even if the user creates a document in the standard notation mode, this learning function will not work. The priority order of the accompanying candidates does not change, and even after the user cancels the standard notation mode, the normally used notation is displayed preferentially, so documents can be created smoothly.

Effects of the Invention The present invention stores notation data and which notation data is W4! The device is equipped with a word storage means for storing whether or not the notation data is the notation data, and a standard notation data selection means for selecting the standard notation data for the selected notation data. However, the standard notation data for the notation data is ultimately selected, so the user can create a document with the standard notation while confirming that the notation data selected by the user is not the standard notation. It can be carried out.
