Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify the selection of paragraph dividing positions and to reduce the load of users by converting the display coordinates of a designated paragraph position into the character coordinates and then converting the paragraph position coordinates. CONSTITUTION:A KANA (Japanese syllabary) character string supplied through an input part 2 undergoes the KANA/KANJI (Chinese characters) conversion with paragraphs written with spaces through a writing part 10 for paragraphs with spaces together with retrieval of a word dictionary 11. The paragraph candidates are stored in a paragraph candidate storing part 12 and at the same time the 1st paragraph candidate is displayed at a paragraph candidate display part 3. Here the display coordinates of a paragraph position are designated by a screen coordinate designating part 17 for designation of the paragraph position where homonyms are selected. Then said display coordinates are converted into the character coordinates by a character coordinate converting part 18 and then into a paragraph position by a paragraph position converting part 19. Then a desired paragraph is indicated. Then the homonym candidates of the relevant paragraph are successively displayed by a paragraph candidate selecting part 5 via the part 12.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a kana-kanji conversion device that converts a kana character string input for inputting a Japanese sentence into a sentence containing kana and kanji.

[Prior Art] In a conventional kana-kanji conversion device, clause candidates are displayed for each clause separation, and for any clause for which a desired candidate is not displayed, a previous candidate or a next candidate is displayed. If you want to display the previous and next candidates for the next clause, move the specified clause one clause at a time from the previous clause, and then move the specified clause by one clause to the left or right. If you want to move to a clause and display previous/next candidates for the preceding clause, you have to move the specified clause one clause at a time from the next clause until you reach the desired clause.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] According to the prior art, the previous candidate and the next candidate are displayed, and the phrase break position where the desired phrase candidate is to be displayed is selected once except immediately before or after the predetermined position. I couldn't do it manually.

The present invention aims to eliminate this drawback, simplify the process of selecting bunsetsu break positions, and reduce the burden on the user.

[Means for solving the problem] In order to solve this problem, the present invention processes the input kana character string into bunsetsu segments, displays clause candidates for each bunsetsu break, and selects homophones and allographs. In a kana-kanji conversion device that converts a sentence containing kanji and kana, there is a means (hereinafter referred to as a pointing device) for converting the coordinates of the display device into the displayed character position, and The present invention is characterized by comprising a means for converting the clause separation position (hereinafter referred to as clause position) for kana-kanji conversion, and a means for specifying the previous candidate and next candidate for the clause position and selecting the clause candidate. .

[Operation] In the case of the present invention, in a state where the kana-kanji conversion device has segmented the segments and displayed the first segment candidate group in segment division units, the pointing device is used to directly specify the segment position where the homophone and allograph word selection is desired. When you specify the display coordinates of the displayed phrase position, these display coordinates are converted to character coordinates, and then converted to phrase position coordinates, which becomes a signal that the desired phrase has been designated. is in a control state where the previous clause and next clause can be displayed.

[Example] The present invention will now be described based on an example showing details of the present invention.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a kana-kanji conversion device of the present invention.
In the figure, cylinder number 1 is a central processing unit (CPU) that controls the entire system based on data input from the input section 2. This CPU controls all devices.

The kana character string inputted in the input section 2 is sent to the kana-kanji conversion device 8, all of the input kana character strings are removed by the kana character acquisition section 9, and the word dictionary 11 is searched by the bunsetsu division section 10. While doing so, the clause separation kana-kanji conversion is performed, clause candidates are stored in the clause candidate storage unit 12 in units of clause divisions, and the clause candidate output unit 13 outputs the first clause candidate group in units of clause divisions to the clause candidate display unit. 3.

Here, the operator checks the displayed candidates and selects the phrase separation position in the phrase position specification section 1 for which the homophone selection is desired.
Specified by 6. In the phrase position designation section 16, a screen coordinate designation section 17 inputs and specifies the display coordinates corresponding to the screen, a character coordinate conversion section 18 converts these into character coordinates, and a phrase position conversion section 19 converts these into character coordinates. Then, determine and specify the bunsetsu separation position corresponding to the specified position on the display. The phrase moving unit 4 then sets the designated phrase separation position as a phrase candidate selectable position. By this operation, the phrase candidate selection unit 5 performs previous candidate/next candidate display processing for the phrase, and the phrase candidate output unit 13 displays homophone selections of the phrase from the phrase candidate storage unit 12 one after another, and the desired phrase is displayed. Display. Repeat this operation until the desired sentence is completed.
The phrase candidate determining unit 6 determines all phrases.

Therefore, when the desired phrase candidate group is determined, the kana-kanji character string is stored in the sentence storage section 7, information on the determined phrase is received by the determined phrase information receiving section 14, and the word learning section 15 receives the information on the determined phrase. , information such as usage frequency and latest usage status is learned in the word dictionary 11.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of the kana-kanji conversion device of the present invention.

The kana-kanji conversion device of the present invention accepts a kana character string with <SOO>, performs bunsetsu separation and kana-kanji conversion with <801>, and displays the first candidate for each bunsetsu break. Therefore, it is determined in <802> whether the next instruction is to specify a position, select a clause candidate, or confirm all clauses.

Here, in the case of specifying a clause position, the specified display coordinates are converted into corresponding character coordinates by the pointing device according to <803>, and converted into a clause position specification corresponding to the display (not shown). , <806>, the phrase is moved, and direct phrase specification can be performed in which the control is moved to the phrase position where the homophone selection is desired. (However, if the display coordinates do not correspond to the bunsetsu separation position, an error will occur and the function will not work...not shown).

Therefore, when a clause candidate is selected in <804>, that is, a previous candidate/next candidate is selected, the previous candidate/next candidate at the designated clause position is displayed.

Here, if the desired phrase is found at all the phrase separation positions, the entire phrase is determined by <805>.
<807> outputs a kana-kanji character string, and
Word learning processing is performed.

[Effects of the Invention] The present invention has the following effects. (1) One key operation can be reduced by directly specifying the position where you want to select a homophone or allograph for segment separation.

(2) Operation becomes easier by directly specifying the position where you want to select homophones and allographs for segment separation.
