JPS635466A - Priority decision system for kana (japanese syllabary) kanji (2354/20)chinese character) converting candidate - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce an input mistake and to lower the psychological burden by giving the highest priority to one symbol mating with the other symbol when the symbol is selected as a relevant character. CONSTITUTION:The priority change instruction of a conversion candidate is fed to a KANA (Japanese syllabary) KANJI (Chinese character) converting dictionary 5 through a priority decision device 2 from a host system information processor 1. The device 2 passes a message except the priority change instruction exchanged between the processor 1 and the dictionary 5 as it does and performs a processing mentioned below at the time of the change instruction. The change instruction is held once in a buffer 3. Whether the conversion candidate considering the most importantly the priority included in the change instruction in the buffer 3 is registered in a symbol management table 4 or not is decided, according to the decision result, the conversion candidate is replaced by the other symbol used as the pair therewith at the time of registering and fed to the dictionary 5 and at the time of a non-registration, the contents of the buffer 3 are fed to the dictionary 5.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention is directed to a kana-kanji conversion process in a Japanese word processor that sequentially displays a menu from conversion candidates with a high priority for headwords that have multiple conversion candidates. Related to conversion candidate priority determination method.

[Conventional technology and its problems]

If you want to enter a symbol that is not on the keyboard using the kana-kanji conversion method in a Japanese word processor, enter the kana character string ``kigou'' as a headword, and select from the conversion candidates displayed in the menu in order of priority. It is necessary for the user to select the appropriate item.

The conventional Kana-Kanji conversion candidate priority determination method gives the highest priority to the conversion candidate that was previously selected as the corresponding character, so in normal Kana-Kanji conversion processing, the first candidate has a very high rate of 5, and in most cases. , the user tends to issue a selection signal and continue inputting the next character string without checking the menu display. However, when entering symbols that are used in pairs in a sentence, the conventional method requires
This has the disadvantage that candidates rarely match, and combined with the tendency to move on to the next input process without checking the menu display, it is easy to cause input errors.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides means for a kana-kanji conversion process of a Japanese word processor that displays a menu of conversion candidates in order from the one with the highest priority for a headword that has a plurality of conversion candidates. , is a Kana-Kanji conversion candidate priority determination method that determines the priority of conversion candidates, and is used in pairs in sentences such as parentheses and quotation marks for inputting headwords that have various symbols as conversion candidates. It is characterized in that when a symbol is selected as a relevant character, the highest priority is given to the other symbol that is paired with the symbol.

Embodiment] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the flow of processing for explaining the present invention. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a configuration of an embodiment of the Kana-Kanji conversion candidate priority determination method of the present invention, and the present invention will be explained below mainly using this figure. In the figure, the present embodiment is shown as being added between a conventional kana-kanji conversion device and a higher-level information processing device, and the added portion is surrounded by a broken line. In the figure, 1 is an upper-level information processing device, 5 is an existing kana-kanji conversion dictionary, 3 is a buffer that temporarily holds the entry word issued to the kana-kanji conversion dictionary 5 by the upper-level information processing device 1, and 4 is a pair forming a pair. A symbol management table 2 that holds symbols used as a pair determines messages sent from the upper-level information processing device 1 to the kana-kanji conversion dictionary 5, and determines the priority of symbols used in pairs. In the case of a command requesting to change the priority of the other symbol in the pair to first, the message is changed to a command requesting to change the priority of the other symbol of the pair to first, and the message is sent to the Kana-Kanji conversion dictionary 5. It is a priority determination device that

In this embodiment with the above configuration, a command (hereinafter referred to as a priority change command) is sent from the upper-level information processing device 1 to the kana-kanji conversion dictionary 5 to request that the priority of the selected conversion candidate be changed to the first priority. The following describes the processing of the priority determination device 2 after the priority determination device 2 sends out the call (call).

The priority determination device 2 passes messages exchanged between the higher-level information processing device 1 and the kana-kanji conversion dictionary 5 other than priority change commands as is, and performs the following processing when a priority change command is input. 61) Temporarily hold the priority change command in buffer 3.

2> Included in the priority change command held in buffer 3,
It is determined whether or not a conversion candidate that should be given the first priority is registered in the symbol management table, and the following processing is determined based on the determination result.

A> If it is not registered, The contents of the buffer 3 are sent to the kana-kanji conversion dictionary 5.

B> If registered, the conversion candidate that should be given the first priority is replaced with the other symbol used as a pair and sent to the Kana-Kanji conversion dictionary 5.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, when symbols used in pairs are input using the kana-kanji conversion method, when one of the pairs is selected, the other of the pairs is selected the next time the symbols are input. Since the menu is displayed as the first candidate, the 5-rate rate for the first candidate is extremely high, just like when inputting a normal character string, and you can input characters one after another without checking the menu display and giving a selection signal. It is possible to greatly reduce input errors caused by continuing the process, and the psychological burden on the user can be greatly reduced.
