Abstract

PURPOSE:To produce documents with unified OKURI-GANA (Japanese syllabary added to Chinese character to show its Japanese declension), by providing a KANA (Japanese syllabary)-KANJI (Chinese character) inscription storing section and optimum number storing section. CONSTITUTION:To the KANA-KANJI inscription storing section 32 of a KANA- KANJI converting dictionary, OKURI-GANA omission discriminating information is given and the optimum number storing section 34 of the dictionary indicates that which is the optimum one among all KANA-KANJI inscriptions produced by changing OKURI-GANA and stores '0' unless homophones having the same meaning are produced. The capacity of the KANA-KANJI converting dictionary can be reduced by producing a homophone having the same meaning from which OKURI-GANA is deleted and, further, a homophone having different OKURI-GANA to a KANA-KANJI inscription found to be matching after dictionary retrieval when a KANA-KANJI converting process is carried out.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a document creation device, and more specifically, it is possible to reduce the capacity of a kana-kanji conversion dictionary, and to create documents with unified okurikana. This invention relates to an improvement of a document creation device that can create documents.

[Conventional technology]

Recently, various so-called document creation devices have been proposed that convert character strings input in kana from an input device such as a keyboard into notation using kana and kanji, and create a document.

Note that the document creation device for generating okurigana is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 59-22173 titled "Kana-Kanji Conversion Processing Device".
Publication No. 1 was proposed first.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, in conventional document creation devices, all homophones (i.e., homophones with deleted okurikana or homonyms with different okurikana) are generally stored in the kana-kanji conversion dictionary, so the dictionary capacity is high. In addition, there is no consideration given to letting the user know which of the kana-kanji notations matched by the dictionary check in the kana-kanji conversion processing device is the candidate with the most suitable okurikana.
Not only was it difficult to choose, but there was also the problem that the methods used were different within the same document.

The present invention was made as a result of reviewing the kana-kanji conversion processing of document creation devices that have been proposed in the past.
The purpose is to reduce the capacity of the kana-kanji conversion dictionary compared to before.

When processing kana-kanji, it is possible to inform the user of which of the kana-kanji notations matched by dictionary checking is the candidate with the optimal okurigana, and to create a document with unified okurigana. , which attempts to provide an improved document creation device.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The purpose is to provide a kana-kanji conversion dictionary in a document creation device that creates a document by converting a character string input in kana from an input device such as a keyboard into a notation that includes kana and kanji. In addition to the kana heading and grammatical information storage section, there is also a kana-kanji notation storage section that stores one type of kana-kanji-mixed character among the homophone synonyms with information on whether or not the kana can be omitted. The kana-kanji notation is provided with an optimal number storage section for storing an optimal number for indicating which of all the possible kana-kanji notations is the best kana-kanji notation, and the kana-kanji notation matches through dictionary checking during the kana-kanji conversion process. In contrast, there is a means for deriving homophonic synonyms from which the okurigana has been deleted based on the information on whether or not okurigana can be omitted, and furthermore, a means for deriving homophonic synonyms with different okurikana, and a means for deriving homonyms with different okurikana, and the kana-kanji notation corresponding to the optimal number in the optimal number storage section. This can be achieved by providing a means for specially displaying the information on the display device as a candidate.

[Effect]

Therefore, as mentioned above, the present invention is based on one of the homophone synonyms.
The types of kana-kanji mixed characters are stored in the kana-kanji notation storage section of the kana-kanji conversion dictionary, and during the kana-kanji conversion process,
For the kana-kanji notation that matches the dictionary check, we now derive homophone synonyms by removing the okuri-kana, and also derive homonyms with different okurikana, reducing the capacity of the kana-kanji conversion dictionary compared to before. be able to.

Further, in the present invention, information on whether or not to omit the kana-kanji is added to the kana-kanji mixed character stored in the kana-kanji notation storage section of the dictionary, that is, one type of kana-kanji mixed character among the homophone synonyms; The kana-kanji conversion dictionary is equipped with an optimal number storage section that stores the optimal number to indicate which of all the kana-kanji notations that can be created by changing kana is the best kana-kanji notation, and the kana-kanji conversion dictionary is Since the kana-kanji notation corresponding to the optimal number in the optimum number storage section is specially displayed on the display device as a candidate, any of the kana-kanji notations that match the dictionary check during the kana-kanji conversion process It is possible to inform the user whether there is a candidate with an optimal okurikana, and to create a document with unified okurikana.

In FIG. 5, which shows the kana-kanji notation in the candidate temporary storage section and the candidate display section, as well as the storage state of special attributes in the candidate display section, the same figure shows the matching candidates and derived candidates during kana-kanji conversion. It shows how when the kanji codes are stored in the candidate temporary storage section in ascending order (descending order is also acceptable), the contents are compared with the contents of the word storage section and stored in the candidate display section. In FIG. 5, reference numeral 51 is a special display attribute storage area for an optimal number indicating which of all the kana-kanji notations created by changing the okurikana is the optimal number, ie, 34 in FIG. In other words, it is a special display attribute storage section that displays the kana-kanji notation corresponding to the optimal number 34.As is clear from FIG. Attributes are added.

The present invention is as described above, and the present invention derives homophone synonyms using each of the storage units described above and informs the user of the optimal candidate. The overall control system by the central processing unit shown in FIG. 1 will be explained based on FIG.

That is, in FIG. 1 showing the overall operational processing system of the document creation device according to the present invention, the operational system is as follows.

Step 1o1: Store the character string input from the input device.

Step 102: Compare the input character string with the kana heading in the kana-kanji conversion dictionary.

If they do not match in step 103, the process moves to step 109; if they match, the process moves to step 104.

Step 104 If the optimal number of the matched candidate is 1 or more (candidate derivation is required), the process moves to step 105 and O
If (no candidate derivation is required), the process moves to step 106.

Step 1o5: Deriving candidates based on the kana/kanji notation information on whether or not kana can be omitted.

Step 106: Set the candidates, including the derived candidates, in the candidate temporary storage unit in ascending order of the kanji code in kana-kanji notation.

Step 107: The kana heading and the kana-kanji notation are checked to see if the candidate is stored in the word storage section. If there is a matching candidate, the process moves to step 108; if there is no match, the process moves to step 109.

Step 108: The candidates stored in the word storage section are
Store them in the candidate display area in the order in which they were stored.

Step 109: Words that are not present in the word storage section are stored in the candidate display section in the order in which they were stored in the candidate temporary storage section. Step 108 or Step 10
In step 9, when the optimal candidate is moved to the candidate display section, information is added to the special display attribute storage section of the candidate display section.

Step 110: Display the candidates on the display section of the CRT.

Step 111: If a candidate is selected, step 112
If it is not selected, the process ends.

Step 112: Store the selected candidate in the latest position of the word storage section, and end the process.

The processing flow of the apparatus of the present invention is as described above.

Next, an explanation will be given based on FIGS. 3 to 5, taking as an example a case where the kana human character string "Uketsuke" is input.

In the dictionary shown in Figure 3, there is a kana-kanji notation for ``Uke ■ Tsuku ■'', an O mark (meaning that okuri kana can be omitted) is added, and the optimal number is 1 or more, so the candidate derivation is The candidate is processed and stored as shown in the candidate temporary storage section of FIG. If these candidates are not stored in the 11ILs storage section, they are stored in the candidate display section in the same order, but in the illustrated embodiment 1, as shown in FIG.
Since "reception" and "reception" are stored in the word storage section, they are stored in the candidate display section as indicated by the solid line arrows in FIG. Subsequently, the remaining candidates are stored in the candidate display section in the order in which they were stored in the candidate temporary storage section, as indicated by the dashed line arrows in FIG. Note that the candidate whose position number stored in the candidate temporary storage unit matches the optimal number in the dictionary is a candidate with the optimal okurikana, and when this candidate is moved to the candidate display unit.

Add special display attribute information. In the illustrated embodiment, the optimal number is 1, so when the "Ukeha Tsuke" stored at the beginning of the candidate temporary storage section is moved to the candidate display section, the fist of attribute information is added, and the above-mentioned candidate When the contents of the display section are displayed on the CRT and "Receiver" is selected, "Receiver" is stored in the latest position of the word storage section (see numerals 41' and 42' in Figure 4). The process ends.

By the way, as shown in Fig. 3, only the stem of the word is stored for the verb. In the case of ``Ate'', the okurikana cannot be omitted, so in that case, the optimal number storage section contains rO
J is stored. In addition, in the case of "End ■", due to the candidate derivation process, "r end" and "r end" are stored in the candidate temporary storage unit in this order, and "r end" is the optimal candidate. In the number storage section, "2" is stored.

In addition, in the present invention, specific means for specially displaying which of all the kana-kanji representations that can be made by changing the okurikana is the optimal kana-kanji representation: 1 For example, 1. Lines etc. can be considered.

Here, the operation of the document creation device according to the present invention will be summarized below.

That is, the present invention stores one type of kana-kanji mixed character among homophone synonyms in the kana-kanji notation storage section of the kana-kanji conversion dictionary, and during the kana-kanji conversion process, converts the kana-kanji notation into the kana-kanji notation that matches through dictionary checking. On the other hand, by deriving homophonic synonyms with the okurikana removed, and furthermore, by deriving homophonic synonyms with different okurigana, the capacity of the kana-kanji conversion dictionary can be reduced compared to the conventional method.

Further, in the present invention, information on whether or not to omit the kana-kanji is added to the kana-kanji mixed character stored in the kana-kanji notation storage section of the dictionary, that is, one type of kana-kanji mixed character among the homophone synonyms; The kana-kanji conversion dictionary is equipped with an optimal number storage section that stores the optimal number to indicate which of all the kana-kanji notations that can be created by changing kana is the best kana-kanji notation, and the kana-kanji conversion dictionary is Since the kana-kanji notation corresponding to the optimum number in the optimum number storage section is specially displayed on the display device as a candidate, which of the kana-kanji notations that match according to the dictionary check during the kana-kanji conversion process is It is possible to let the user know whether a candidate has the optimal okurikana, and to create a document with unified okurikana.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As is clear from the explanation of the illustrated embodiments, according to the present invention, the capacity of the kana-kanji conversion dictionary can be reduced compared to the conventional one, and at the same time, the kana-kanji notation that matches the kana-kanji notation according to the dictionary check during the kana-kanji conversion process. It is possible to inform the user which candidate has the optimal okurikana and create a document with unified okurikana. An improved document production device can be obtained.
