Abstract

PURPOSE:To check immediately on conversion results by displaying the conversion result from the starting result when KANA (Japanese syllabary)-KANJI (Chinese character) conversion is carried out on a display device whose picture plane size is smaller than the maximum value of the length of characters to be converted. CONSTITUTION:Input information from a keyboard 1 is transmitted to a document editing part 7 through an input character buffer 3 or directly from a keyboard control part 2. When the contents stored in a conversion buffer 6 are longer than the length of a display buffer 1, a digit overflow processing part 8 causes a digit overflow at not the starting part, but the ending part. Namely, a character code string as long as the contents of the display buffer is extracted starting at the head of the conversion result buffer 6 and transferred to the display buffer 11. Consequently, the KANJI at the starting part of the conversion result is displayed as the KANA-KANJI conversion and KANJI is confirmed immediately even on a display picture plane with a small number of lateral lines.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (A) Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a kana-kanji conversion result display processing method, particularly, for example, a portable type Japanese word processor, etc.
A kana-kanji conversion result display processing method that displays the main part of the kana-kanji conversion result that cannot be displayed on the display screen when the display screen of the display device has only a small number of horizontal digits. It is related to.

(B) Prior Art and Problems Recently, document creation devices such as so-called Japanese word processors have been widely used. In a Japanese document creation device, for example, words or phrases input in kana characters are converted into kanji by operating a conversion key, and a document containing kanji is created. Various edits such as insertion, deletion, and copying of desired character strings are possible.

The created document is displayed on a display such as an LCD panel,
Printed on the printer as needed.

By the way, when a document creation device is made into a portable type, it is essential to downsize the device, and the size of the display device is also limited to some extent. On the other hand, in order to improve the operability of the kana-kanji conversion process, consideration has been given to converting not only words but also phrases or relatively long character strings. In this case, if the number of display digits on the display is small, it may not be possible to display all of the conversion results of a sentence mixed with kanji on the screen of the display.

Generally, in a device for inputting and displaying characters, a cursor is used to indicate the position of the next character to be input.

The cursor is then normally positioned to indicate the next position of the last input character. Therefore, when all of the conversion results cannot be displayed as described above, the last part of the conversion results is displayed by the number of digits on the display screen in relation to the cursor position.

In other words, if the number of digits displayed on the display is 8 digits, for example, "
When we convert the phrase ``There will be no need to call at a port'' from kana to kanji, the conversion result will be ``There will be no need to call at a port,'' as shown in Figure 3. Since it is not possible to display all of this conversion result on the 8-digit display screen at once, it will not be possible to display the last 8 digits of the conversion result as shown in the display screen shown in Figure 3. only will be displayed. In such a display, when checking whether the desired kanji conversion has been performed for a kanji that has many homonyms, use the cursor keys to scroll the display screen backwards and select the phrase to be converted. It is necessary to return the display to the beginning. Therefore,
According to the conventional methods, there was a problem in that the processing that enabled conversion of long phrases in order to improve operability actually deteriorated the operability.

(C) Object and Structure of the Invention The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems and realizes that when converting a phrase from kana to kanji, the position of the kanji is usually at the beginning of the phrase to be converted. The purpose is to display the conversion result on the display without scrolling from the beginning, regardless of the length of the string to be converted, so that the conversion result can be checked immediately. It is said that Therefore, the kana-kanji conversion result display processing method of the present invention requires a keyboard, a dictionary memory in which kanji code information corresponding to the kana reading is registered in advance, and a screen size smaller than the maximum character length to be converted. The display device converts the reading of kana input from the keyboard into kanji according to the contents of the dictionary memory upon input of a key instructing kana-kanji conversion, and displays the conversion result on the display device. In a kana-kanji conversion result display processing method in a document creation device that edits and creates Japanese documents, an input character buffer stores the reading of the kana input from the keyboard, and the code of the character displayed on the display device. a display buffer in which information is stored; a scroll control unit that scrolls the display screen to display new input characters when the input character string before conversion exceeds the display range on the display device; a kana-kanji conversion unit that converts the reading of kana into a character string mixed with kanji by referring to the dictionary; a conversion result buffer that stores the conversion result by the kana-kanji conversion unit; and a conversion result stored in the conversion result buffer. and an overflow processing unit that extracts a character string of the length of the display range bone from the beginning of the conversion result and transfers it to the display buffer when the length exceeds the display range on the display device. There is. Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings.

(D) Embodiment of the Invention FIG. 1 shows the configuration of an embodiment of the invention, and FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the processing according to the embodiment of the invention.

In the figure, ■ is a keyboard, 2 is a keyboard control unit, 3 is an input character buffer, 4 is a dictionary memory, 5 is a kana-kanji conversion unit, 6 is a conversion result buffer, 7 is a document editing unit, 8 is an overflow processing unit, 9 is a scroll control unit; 10 is a document memory;
11 is a display buffer, 12 is a screen control unit, 13 is a character generator (CG), and 14 is a display device.

The embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is a portable type Japanese word processor that creates Japanese documents using the kana-kanji conversion method, and can also be used as a typewriter through so-called sequential printing. . The keyboard 1 includes keys for inputting kana pronunciations and various function keys for document editing, and key information input manually from the keyboard 1 is stored in an input character buffer 3 by a keyboard control section 2. Note that the present invention can also be applied to a kana-kanji conversion method using Roman characters input, and in this case, the input character buffer 3 is assumed to store kana character codes corresponding to the readings of Roman characters.

The dictionary memory 4 is a memory in which kanji code information corresponding to the readings of kana is registered in advance. Kana-kanji conversion part 5
is started by inputting the "conversion" key provided on the keyboard 1, and executes a process of extracting the kanji corresponding to the kana character code string stored on the input character buffer 3 from the dictionary memory 4 and converting it into a kanji code. It is something to do. The conversion result buffer 6 is a buffer in which a character code string resulting from the conversion by the kana-kanji conversion unit 5 is stored.

Input information from the keyboard 1 is transmitted to the document editing section 7 via the input character buffer 3 or directly from the keyboard control section 2. It should be noted that the general contents of editing processing in the document editing section 7 are well known, so detailed explanation will be omitted. The overflow processing unit 8 converts the contents stored in the conversion result buffer 6 into the display buffer 1.
If the length is longer than 1, a process is performed to cause digit confusion not in the leading part but in the trailing part. That is, a character code string corresponding to the length of the display buffer 11 is extracted from the beginning of the conversion result buffer 6 and transferred to the display buffer 11.

The scroll control unit 9 sequentially moves the data on the display buffer 11 to the left in response to human input to the input character buffer 3, when the readings of the kana already input can no longer be displayed on the display 14. and displays the most recently inputted part on the display 14. It should be noted that forward or backward scrolling control is also performed by inputting the cursor keys, but this is considered to be the same as the conventional method and the explanation will be omitted.

Document memory 0 is a memory in which document data being created is stored, and character code strings for which "conversion" or "no conversion" has been determined are sequentially stored. The display buffer 11 is a buffer in which character information to be displayed on the display 14 is stored, for example, in JIS code. The screen control section 12 controls the character codes on the display buffer 11 to be converted into, for example, 24×24 dot character patterns by the character generator 13 and displayed on the display 14. The display device 14 is a display configured by, for example, a liquid crystal panel. In the following description of this embodiment, it is assumed that the display 14 displays 8-digit characters. It should be noted that the created documents on the document memory 10 are printed out to a printer (not shown) as necessary according to instructions for sequential printing or batch printing.

Next, referring to FIG. 2, the processing mode according to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 will be explained. In Figure 2, the symbol is indicator 1.
4 display screen is shown.

For example, the pronunciation of "Kikousuru" is input from the keyboard 1, and as shown in FIG.
When the character code for "Kikousuru" is stored, the character pattern will be displayed on the display screen. At this time, when the "conversion" key instructing kana-kanji conversion is pressed, the kana-kanji conversion is performed, and the conversion result including the kanji code is stored in the 0 conversion result buffer 6. In this example, the conversion result is 4 digits and there is no digit shift, so the conversion result "to call at a port" is all displayed on the display screen.

For example, if the input character string is ``I will not listen to you'', it will be displayed as shown in FIG. 2(b). That is, when "Kikousuru wa" is input and then "Na" is input, scrolling is performed by the scroll control unit 9, and the display of the previously input "KI" is lost from the left. The reading of "na" is additionally displayed on the right edge. In addition,
This processing can be realized by simple character transfer. Similarly, “
After the readings of ``i'', ``da'', ``ro'', and ``u'' are manually read one after another, the final eight digits ``Kotohanai ro'' are displayed by scrolling.

If the "Convert" key is pressed in this state, the conversion result will be, for example, "There will be no call at the port" and will be larger than 8 digits, but in the case of the present invention, as shown in Figure 2 (B). As shown in the figure, the first eight digits of the conversion result, ``I will not call at a port,'' are displayed on the display screen by the process of the overflow processing unit 8 in FIG. 1 described above. Therefore, the user can immediately check whether the kana-kanji conversion has been performed correctly and whether the requested kanji has been selected.

In other words, if the conversion result is displayed based on the display state before conversion, as shown in the third section, not only will the user not be able to confirm whether the conversion was successful, but also, for example, However, according to the present invention, it is not possible to confirm whether the result that can be requested if there is another selection matches the conversion result at the current point in time. , the information can be immediately confirmed without operating cursor keys or the like.

(E) As described in detail, according to the present invention, even if the entire conversion result cannot be displayed because the number of horizontal digits on the display screen is small, kana-kanji conversion can be performed correctly. It is possible to immediately check whether or not a requestable kanji has been obtained, and it is possible to provide a document creation device with good operability.
