The present invention relates to a method of selecting a homonym in a Kana (Japanese syllable character) Hanja input method of the Chinese character conversion method. When the necessary one character is selected from a plurality of homonyms, the currently displayed one character Next, it is possible to reduce the number of trailing characters without displaying unnecessary one characters when the command for displaying one character with high frequency is repeated several times and then changed to a mode for selecting one character required by display selection. It is too much to choose a homonym.

When inputting a single character using the Kana and the one-character input device using the one-character conversion method, one character is input from the keyboard or the Roman alphabet. The pronunciation of the same) is inputted, and this is converted into a single character by referring to a dictionary in a single character input device. However, even if the pronunciation is the same, if there are several homonyms with different notations, the necessary one letter cannot be displayed. Therefore, conventionally, the next homonym is displayed in order by the command of the next candidate, or the homonym corresponding to the entered one letter or several is displayed on the screen, and the command is required by the key board. One character was selected by the so-called display selection method, such as one character. And the Chinese character input device usually has such a function of both, and selects the homonym using the selection means of both.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of a general one-character input device. Character data inputted to the keyimod 1 are stored in the memory 3 through the control unit 2 and displayed on the display device 5. In the case of displaying a single letter, the pronunciation is input from the keyboard (1) to Ghanaian or Roman letter, and the control unit (2) inquires the dictionary and the input sound in the dictionary memory (4), converts it into the corresponding one letter, and stores the memory (3) Are stored in the display device 5 and displayed on the display device 5 at the same time.

In this manner, when various edits such as input, correction, and deletion are completed, the data is output to a medium such as the printer 6 or a profile disk.

In the dictionary memory 4, in addition to the information in which the kana index is associated with one character, information indicating the priority frequency of the display order when the homonym is displayed is simultaneously stored. First of all, the frequency is generally determined by the frequency of use, but sometimes by the operator's instructions.

2 shows an example of the homonym stored in the dictionary memory, which first reads the first character in the order of frequency.

In a normal input, a single character having multiple homonyms is displayed with "好奇" (10) on the screen 5A of the first to the third degree. If the first displayed character is not the required one, the next candidate key in the key board 1 is instructed to display the next higher frequency one character, and the operation is repeated until the desired one is displayed. This is called a frequency mode first.

In addition, when it is estimated that the desired character has a low priority in advance, it is faster to select one character as the display selection. Therefore, the display selection mode is commanded. Even in this case, the order is first displayed on the screen 5A in the order of high frequency, so as to designate one of the necessary characters as a cursor, or to command the number entered in one character by Denki. In addition, in the figure, (A) is the range which displays the input character, (B) is the range which displays the homonym.

However, when the desired frequency of a desired character is unknown and the first displayed character is not what is desired, the next candidate key is operated in sequence until the desired character is displayed first, and the desired one is not displayed. Usually, the next candidate key gives up the priority mode selection and switches to the selection by the display selection mode.

For example, it is assumed that the eighth letter "校旗" is displayed as the priority frequency of FIG. At this time, the next candidate is marked up to the sixth "香氣" in Fig. 2, and then changed to the display selection mode. Is displayed. However, since there is nothing to be desired among the one letters of the preferred frequencies 1 to 5 displayed in the display range B of the homonym, the first letter of the frequency 6 to 10 must be displayed, and the desired "校旗" must be selected. In other words, although the first frequency mode has already been displayed by the next candidate key from the first " favorite " to the sixth " flavor ", it is displayed as the display selection mode and is displayed again from the first frequency. Therefore, the operation is quite inconvenient and takes time to determine the homonym.

The present invention has been made in this regard, and in the case of selecting a required one character among several homonyms, after repeating the instruction by the priority frequency mode several times to make the one frequency of high priority appear after the currently displayed one character, When switching to the display selection mode, the object is to reduce the number of candidate characters without displaying unnecessary characters. In the method of selecting a homonym in a one-character input device for selecting and inputting a desired one among a plurality of homonyms, a range A for displaying an input character and a range for displaying a homonym B A display device having a display panel installed on the display screen, a key board having a priority frequency mode, a key for selecting a display mode, a character key, and the like, and a pre-memory in which the same frequency information is added and stored in the homonym. When selecting the homonym in the input character display range (A), remember the number of times (K) selected as the frequency mode first, and when changing to the display selection mode, the candidate character with the priority frequency information of (K + 1) The objection is to be displayed in the display range (B).

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

4 is a diagram showing an example of selecting and displaying homonyms according to the present invention. Here, the case where the above-mentioned frequency of "8" of the eighth frequency as the above is selected as one letter is specifically described. First of all, type in the letter key of the key board (1) in Kanaro "こ ず も". Then, the control unit 2 selects the "favorite" 10 having the highest frequency in the dictionary memory 4 first and displays it on the screen 5A as shown in FIG. 4 (a). The operator first presses the next candidate key by the frequency mode since the displayed character is not the desired character. The second most frequent letter is "한". In this way, when the next candidate key is pressed four times and " 香氣 " 11 is displayed as shown in Fig. 4 (b), the operator first gives up the selection by the frequency mode and changes to the display selection mode.

Then, as shown in Fig. 4 (c), the screen 5A displays the display range of the homonym of the screen in the first letter "公 器" with the first character up to the "香氣" 11 already indicated by the next candidate key. The number which can be displayed in (B), for example, (P) (5 in drawing) is displayed. The operator selects the desired letter "校旗" in the phrase. The method of selecting the desired one letter from the (P) indicates the number 12 attached to one letter to the Denki of the key board or by moving the cursor. In addition to this, various methods can be adopted. Here, the description will be made by selecting by Denkii.

Since the one letter " 표시 " is displayed in the second of the display range B, when the second key is indicated by the denki, " 13 " is selected and displayed at the predetermined position as in the fourth (d). After that, the sentence is input continuously. Further, in Fig. 4C, the "scent" 11 when the homonym is the frequency mode is displayed first in the state where the display selection mode is changed. When this is changed to the display selection mode, the first character to be displayed in the display range (B) of the homonym and at this time "公 器" is displayed in the input character display range (A) instead of "香氣" (11), Since it can be confirmed as it is, the operability becomes good.

5 is a diagram showing the flow described above, in which (K) is the dominant frequency, (P) is the number of candidate characters displayed in the display range (B) of the screen at the time of display selection, ( Q) refers to the number (12 in Fig. 4 (c)) put in one letter selected with Denki.

A brief explanation follows the flowchart.

S ₁ : Enter the pronunciation of _one letter into Kana.

S ₂ : K = 0 (initial value)

S ₃ : Indicates whether to select a homonym as the priority frequency mode by the next candidate key.

S ₄ : If yes in S ₃ , count down to K = K + 1

S ₅ : Display one letter of priority frequency K = 1 with higher priority frequency

S ₆ : Indicates whether or not the one character represented by S ₅ is the desired character

S ₇ : If S ₆ , no, indicate whether or not to display the next higher frequencyd one character with the next candidate key.

S ₈ : If yes in S ₇ , count to K = K + 1

S ₉ : Display one letter of priority frequency K = K + 1 with higher priority next

S ₁₀ : Indicates whether or not one letter of K = K + 1 indicated by S ₉ is a desired letter. no to S ₇

S ₁₁ : counts K = K + 1 for no in S ₃

S ₁₂ : counts K = K + 1 for no in S ₇

S ₁₃ : Change to the mode selected by the display selection.

S ₁₄ : Display P from one letter of priority frequency to one letter from priority frequency

S ₁₅ : Indicates whether there is a desired one of the P characters represented by S ₁₄

S ₁₆ : If no with S ₁₅ , count to K = K + P

S ₁₇ : If S ₁₅ is yes, select the letter Q indicating Denki (casol).

S ₁₈ : Count to K = K + (Q-1)

S ₁₈ : Display one letter confirmed by S ₆ , S ₁₀ on the screen.

As described above, if the processing proceeds according to the flow display diagram of FIG. 5, the selection by the candidate key can be changed from the selection by the selection of the display to the selection at any time. In this case, it is possible to prevent unnecessary candidate one-characters from being displayed.

As described above, an embodiment of the present invention has been described. However, according to the present invention, when the homonym is selected, the selection by the next candidate key is already performed when the selection by the next candidate key is changed from the selection by the next candidate key. It is possible to reduce the candidate character when selecting the display by displaying the first character after the displayed character first, and thus have the effect of effectively performing the operation when selecting the desired character. .
