BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Hereinafter, the two-way computer communication system of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. {Circle around (1)} is an outline of an embodiment of a two-way computer communication system according to the present invention, and FIGS. 2 to 4 respectively show steps in a word search using the communication system of FIG. It is a figure showing a browser screen.

As shown in FIG. 1, the bidirectional computer communication system according to the present invention has a large number of computers 12 connected to a network 10, and all the computers 12 are connected to all computers 12 on the network 10. This is especially useful in web-like networks where you can access 2.

The computer 2 has a server site that transmits information and a client that uses the information. There is one site 1 2b. The Sabasai Bok 1 2 a, whereas _t has a kanji conversion code system for converting the information Romaji kanji mingled information, client site 1 2 b are, and specific kanji conversion code can Roman character input It has a browser screen that can display kanji by the system.

As a browser screen, a multimedia browser such as “Mosaic:” or “Netcap eJ, which can display graphic information as well as textual information, is preferable: In such a multimedia browser, a potan switch is displayed on the screen. _t Therefore, it is out to set in, by overwriting the Chinese characters mingled with information from the Sabasai me this Potansuitchi, only the Chinese characters mingled with information to accurately Sabasai Bok with the click of a first input to Roman input other than the browser screen Has the effect of accurately achieving the desired information request

The communication network 14 for connecting the networks may be either wired or wireless, but wired is preferred from the viewpoint of certainty in information transmission. In particular, a public network such as a general telephone line is particularly preferable because it can be used at low cost.

Next, the operation of the two-way computer communication system according to the present invention will be described. First, at the client site 12b, a browser screen is started, and information necessary for requesting information is input by inputting Roman characters. In the embodiment shown in 囡 2, the characters “nihonehim” are input. Each Roman character can be displayed in one byte and sent to the server site 12a using the communication line 14.

The computer installed in the server site 2a has a kanji conversion code system for converting romanized input information into kanji mixed information, and converts it into kanji mixed information based on this. This kanji-mixed information must be correct because the server site 12a uses it later as a keyword for computer processing, for example, a search. Has the advantage that there is no room for error.

The information converted to kanji-mixed information is sent to the client site 12b using the communication network 4. Will be returned. Kanji-mixed information can be displayed in 2 bytes, but the information actually sent to the client site 1 2b is only the kanji conversion code system that uses the same conversion code in different kanji conversion code systems. It can be sent with a conversion code corresponding to the kanji, and a different kanji conversion code system that uses a different conversion code can be sent with a conversion code equivalent to hiragana. This is because the kanji corresponding to the information entered by the information user in the first step in Roman characters is displayed on the browser M and can be identified if it is sufficient.

The client site 1 2b displays kanji mixed information on the browser screen. With a multimedia browser that can display graphic information, the kanji mixed information can be overwritten in the potenti switch and the correct kanji mixed by clicking on it. Information can be selected. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the kanji of "Japan" is assigned to Γ η ih 0 nj and the kanji of "ehimej [ko]" Ehime J "is assigned. Is displayed. Clicking this button selects "Japan" and "Ehime J. Of course, to save space, the kanji of" Japan "and" Ehime "are displayed above the potan switch. It can be overwritten.

At this stage, the information of the client site〗 2b is selected as information mixed with kanji, so it is re-input information closer to the information request requested by the information user than the first input information: This re-input information is sent again to the server site 12a using the communication network # 4, and the server site 12a performs a computer process related to the information request based on the re-input information, in this embodiment, a search.

The search result is sent to the client site 12b using the communication network 14 and displayed on the browser screen of the client site 12b.囡 In Example 4, information about Ehime in Japan is displayed on the browser.

In a preferred embodiment, the above steps can be repeated to narrow, expand, or change the information that is most appropriate for the information request requested at the client site.

The two-way computer communication system of the present invention is a communication system using English and Japanese as described above. It goes without saying that it can be applied to communication between all different languages in the world, not to mention the network.

Various modifications and changes can be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit of the invention described in the claims.

Industrial applicability

In the two-way computer communication system of the present invention, input information from the first input system is sent from the client site to the server site, and is converted into information by the second input system based on the input information at the server site. The client site does not need to have an enormous amount of kanji conversion code systems. Therefore, the information from the first input system and the second input system in the network while keeping the load on the ROM at the client site small is kept small. This has the effect of enabling accurate transmission between the two. This will make it possible for people around the world to exchange information with server sites all over the world in their own language using cheap computers.

In addition, if a multimedia browser is used, information in the language of the user's home country can be accurately sent to the server site only by clicking on the browser screen, except for the Roman alphabet input that is entered first, and the desired information request can be accurately achieved. it can.
