[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a document creation device, and more specifically, the kanji reading ability of a person who uses a created document, for example, an elementary school first grader, a second grader, etc. The present invention relates to an improvement of a document creation device capable of creating a sentence containing kana and kanji by adding or removing furigana from the kanji notation according to the kanji reading ability of the user of the created document.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, when adding furigana to kanji notation using a document creation device, (1) After document creation, for the kanji notation that requires furigana,
Enter and add furigana.

(2) When creating a document, it is common to add furigana to all kanji notations.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, according to the former, the number of input operations increases, and according to the latter, furigana are added to all kanji notations. Furigana are added to the kanji that have already been learned according to each academic ability level, such as 1st grade, etc., which is not desirable from the perspective of developing kanji reading ability.

The present invention has been made in consideration of one or more points,
The purpose of this is to use furigana only for kanji notation that requires furigana, depending on the kanji reading level of the person using the document creation device. By creating a mixed kana-kanji sentence with the addition of .

Compared to the following models of conventional document creation devices, in which furigana are input and added to kanji notations that require furigana after document creation, fewer input operations are required; Compared to the following types of creation devices, that is, document creation devices that add furigana to all kanji notation when creating a document, this device does not impair the kanji reading ability of the person using the creation device. Depending on each kanji reading level, furigana can be added to unlearned kanji notation to help the reading comprehension of sentences containing kana and kanji. The present invention aims to provide an improved document creation device.

[Means for solving problems]

The above purpose is to: ``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 sentence containing kana and kanji,
Kana headings, kana kanji notation.

In addition to grammar information, it is equipped with a kanji reading ability designation level information storage section for each word and each character in kana-kanji notation, and a kana headword length storage section for each character in kana-kanji notation. In addition to changing the kanji reading ability designated level information, by specifying the dictionary usage level using the level designation key of the input device, furigana is added only to kanji notation that exceeds the corresponding level according to each kanji reading ability designated level, This is achieved by providing means for displaying the results as candidates on a display device.

[Effect]

Therefore, in the present invention having the above configuration, the kana-kanji notation search means searches for a kana heading in the kana-kanji conversion dictionary for the input kana character string, and stores the matched kana-kanji notation in the kana-kanji notation storage area. .

Further, the kana-kanji notation candidate search means checks grammatical information on the kana-kanji notations stored in the kana-kanji notation storage area by the kana-kanji notation search means, and detects appropriate kana-kanji notations.

Further, the furigana adding means determines the kanji reading ability level based on the am of the kana-kanji notation candidate selected by the kana-kanji notation candidate search means, the level information for each character in kana-kanji notation, and the kana headword length for each character in kana-kanji notation. If the pronunciation or kanji notation exceeds the level specified by the specification means, furigana is added to the notation by referring to the input character string, and this is stored in the candidate storage area by the kana-kanji notation candidate storage means. Thereafter, the results are displayed on a display device such as a CRT.

The overall control system by the central processing unit indicated by the reference numeral 21 in FIG. 2 will be explained based on FIG. 1.

In FIG. 1 showing the overall operation processing system of the document creation device according to the present invention, in step 101.

The specified level input from the input device is set and stored in the storage device. Next, in step 102, the kana character string input from the input device is set and stored in the storage device, and in step 103, a conversion key is accepted, and a dictionary search for the kana character string input from the input device is started. . In step 104, the input character string is compared with the kana heading in the dictionary, and if there is no match, the process moves to step 115.

If the input character string matches the kana heading in the dictionary in step 104, all corresponding kana-kanji notations are set in the storage area in step 105, and then, in step 106, the notation storage area search pointer is Set the first value of the 1 notation storage area. Next, in step 107, it is checked whether there is any inconsistency between the input character string and the corresponding grammatical information of the kana-kanji notation.If the grammatical information is found to be inappropriate, step 1
Move on to 13.

In step 107, if the grammar information was checked properly, in step 108.

It is checked whether the vocabulary level of the corresponding kanji notation is below the specified level, and if it is not, in step 109, the kanji notation is created while referring to the input kana character string and the value of the kana headword length for each character in the notation. Add furigana to
The process moves to step 112.

If in step 108 the opening level of the corresponding kanji notation is below the specified level, in step 110 it is checked whether each notation of the kana kanji notation is below the specified level, and if it is below, the process moves to step 112.

In step 110, if the checked notation exceeds the specified level, in step 111 furigana is added to the kanji while referring to the kana headword length for each character in each notation.6 Next, in step 112, the corresponding Set the kana/kanji notation to be used in the candidate storage area. In step 113.

In step 114, it is checked whether all kana-kanji notations have been checked. If the checks are not completed in step 114, the process returns to step 107 and steps 107 to 112 are repeated until all checks are completed.

In step 114, after completing the check of the kana-kanji notation in the notation storage area, in step 115, the same hiragana-only candidates as the input character string are set in the final position of the candidate storage area, and in the final step 1
At step 16, the contents of the candidate storage area are displayed on a display device such as a CRT.

The processing flow of the device of the present invention is as described above, and next,
Taking as an example a case where the input character string is "Kokan", the explanation will be made based on FIGS. 8 to 10.

First, by using the level designation key 22-2 shown in FIG. 3 and the selection key 22-4 shown in FIG. After setting and storing the specified level (b)], set and store the input character string "Kogan" in the input character string storage area of the storage device 23, and perform a dictionary search by inputting the conversion key 22-3. Start. Assuming that the matching notation between the input character string and the kana heading is as shown in FIG. 8, one grammatical information and two-word level for each corresponding notation.

After checking the level of each character in the notation and setting the appropriate notation in the candidate storage area, the result is displayed on a display device [25] such as a CRT.

As mentioned above, the specified level (6
) as a memory device! ! ! 23, the vocabulary level FA of "Kaku complete" shown in Fig. 8 will be set and stored at the previously specified level (
6), since it exceeds F6, the length of the kana headword for each character is added.

Next, since the vocabulary level F3 of "exchange" is less than or equal to the specified L/Hell (6), the level of each notation is referred to. "
The level for each character in the notation of ``exchange'' is ``27'',
This means that the level of the first notation "Ko" is "2",
Since the level of ``kane'' means ``7'' and the level of ``kane'' exceeds the specified level (6), there is no need to add furigana to ``kane''. It is necessary to add mifurigana, and looking at the length of the kana entry word for each character in the notation, the length of the kana entry word for each character in the notation is "22" in the right column of FIG. This means that the reading of the first kanji is 2 characters from the 1st character of the kana heading, 2
This means that the reading of the second kanji is the second character from the third character of the kana heading, and the kana heading for "exchange" is "Koukan J," so the reading kana "kan" is added to "kanji". , store "Exchange J" in the candidate storage area as in No. 9g4.

In addition, ``Koukan'' is specified by its vocabulary level F8, and ``High Official'' is stored as ``High Official'' as both its practice level and the level of each letter written are below the specified level, and ``R Likeability'' is , its opening level F7 is the designated level (6
).

After completing the check of the kana-kanji notation in the notation storage area as described above, finally set the notation of only hiragana that matches the kana heading for the final position of the candidate storage area, as shown in Figure 9. Then, the contents of the candidate storage area are displayed on the display device 25 such as a CRT, and all processing is completed.

Incidentally, FIG. 10 shows the storage state of the kanji/kana search results when the designation level is higher than that in FIG. 9, that is, when the designation level shown in the seventh time is set to (7).

By the way, the word level and the level for each character shown in FIG.
In the state displayed in FIG. 3, level change key 22
-5 and the selection key 22-4, and if there is no level specification, the specified level is treated as the highest level (11). According to the present invention having the above-described configuration, only the information check is performed, and furigana addition is not performed.Furthermore, according to the present invention having the above-mentioned configuration, the entry level shown by the reference numeral 72 in FIG. 7 is ignored, and the notation shown by the reference numeral 73 in FIG. There is no need to explain here that it is also possible to add furigana by validating only the level of each character.

[Effect of the invention]・ As is clear from the above description of the illustrated embodiments.

According to the present invention, when creating a sentence containing kana and kanji using a single document creation device, furigana is added only to the kanji notation that requires furigana, depending on the kanji reading level of the person using the created document. By creating the added kana/kanji mixed sentences, the following models of conventional document creation devices, ie, after document creation.

Compared to document creation devices that input and add furigana to kanji notations that require furigana, fewer input operations are required.
Also, compared to the following types of conventional document creation devices, that is, document creation devices that add furigana to all kanji characters when creating a document.

Without impairing the kanji reading ability of the person using the created document, it is possible to add furigana to unlearned kanji notation according to each kanji reading ability level, and improve the reading comprehension of sentences containing kana and kanji. An improved document production device can be provided that can help.
