Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the operability of the titled input device, by using either one of sequential character selecting system and collective character selecting system. CONSTITUTION:A conversion/non-conversion controlling section 5 controls whether or not the content of a read character memory 4 is to be subjected to Kana (Japanese syllabary)-to-Kanji (Chinese character) conversion in accordance with the instruction of an input mode controlling section 3. A Kana-to-Kanji conversion processing section 6 retrieves a dictionary 7 for Kana-to-Kanji conversion and generates Kanji for conversion, then, stores the generated Kanji in a converting candidate memory 8. A produced sentence composed of Kana and Kanji is stored in a document memory 9. A temporary converting candidate controlling section 10 reads an inputted content of the read character memory 4 at the time of lump input and sets the read content in a saving memory 11, and sets a location stored in the document memory 9 at which the 1st converting candidate set in the memory 8, is stored, in a memory 12 for storing locations in temporarily converted character documents. A read character string restoration controlling section 13 extracts a read character string from the memory 11 at the time of collective selection and sets the character string in the memory 4 and a temporary character string memory 14 temporarily stores converted converting candidates at the time of lump selection.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention searches a kana-kanji conversion dictionary in a storage device using a kana character string input from a keyboard as a reading, and converts it into a desired kanji-kana-mixed sentence. The present invention relates to a kanji-kana-mixed human resource device having a display screen for displaying input kana character strings and conversion results.

[Background of the Invention] - Conventionally, a kana character string is input from a keyboard, and when a specific key, for example, a conversion key is pressed, the kana character string input up to that point is read as a reading, and the kana characters stored in the storage device are converted into kana characters. There is a device that searches a kana-kanji conversion dictionary for converting a string into a kanji-kana-mixed character string, converts it into the corresponding kanji, and creates a kanji-kana-mixed sentence. Generally, there are a plurality of homophones (conversion candidates) that read one kana character string, and it is necessary to select and instruct a desired word from among the conversion candidates. Therefore, in the so-called successive conversion method, in which the inputter looks at the display screen every time a conversion is instructed and confirms whether it is the desired kanji, the inputter is forced to write Wr in his/her thoughts, and the original When text is being input continuously based on the text, the user's line of sight has to alternate between the original and the displayed field, which has the disadvantage of forcing the user to interrupt the operation.

Therefore, if there is a homophone, the first conversion candidate is provisionally input as a provisional conversion character string.After inputting an appropriate amount in succession in the batch input step, it is converted into the first conversion candidate. Check the character strings containing kanji and kana on the display screen, and for words that have not been converted to the desired kanji,
+There is also a device using a batch selection method in which the input sentence string is determined in the batch selection step of changing to a third conversion candidate. However, with this device, if there is an input error in the kana character string input as the reading, the already input kana character string cannot be corrected, and the entire character string must be input again. The same applies if the desired kanji word is not registered in the kana-kanji conversion dictionary.
The problem was that the kana character string had to be segmented and re-inputted repeatedly until it was converted correctly.

[Purpose of the invention]

The purpose of the present invention is to avoid forcing manual operators to interrupt operations.
Furthermore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a kanji-kana-mixed writer's blade device which makes it possible to easily correct a single-ananymous character string once manually created and efficiently create a desired kanji-kana-mixed sentence. In particular, it is an object of the present invention to provide suitable operability for an input user to change to another conversion candidate, change the pronunciation, and confirm all conversion candidates when selecting one at a time.

[Summary of the invention]

The present invention is a kanji-kana-mixed Bunjin-blade device equipped with a kana-kanji conversion function, which employs a successive conversion method in which a homophone is selected each time the input is converted, and a method in which a ``>A namous mouse'' is input in succession. A batch selection method in which conversion candidates are selected later can be selected according to the instructions of the inputter, and in the case of the pattern selection method,
- It is configured so that the readings inputted at the time of batch input can also be changed when selecting a pattern.

[Embodiments of the invention]

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

FIG. 1 shows an example of the configuration of the kanji/kana/bunjin blade device according to the present invention. In the figure, 1 is the keyboard, 2 is the input key register where one key code input from keyboard 1 is set, and 3 is the input mode control unit that determines whether it is successive conversion or batch selection. 4 is to manage and control the timing of kana-kanji conversion, 4 is to store input kana character strings in reading character memory for each conversion unit,
5 is a conversion/non-conversion control unit that determines whether or not to convert the contents of the reading character memory 4 into kana-kanji according to instructions from the input mode control unit 3; 6 is a kana-kanji conversion processing unit that performs kana-kanji conversion; Reference numeral 9 stores the kanji-kana-mixed sentences created in the document memory, and 10 is a provisional conversion candidate control unit for batch selection. During batch input, the contents of the input reading character memory 4 are set in the reading save memory 11, and the position where the first conversion candidate set in the conversion candidate memory 8 is stored in the document memory 9 is set as a provisional conversion character string. 13 is a reading character string return control unit that extracts the corresponding reading character string from the reading save memory 11 and sets it in the reading character memory 4 when a batch selection is made using the -pattern selection method. , 14 is a temporary character string memory that temporarily stores the conversion candidates changed during pattern selection, 15 is a reading display register, 16 is a temporary character string display register, and 17 is a sentence 48 display register. 1 for setting the contents of the reading character memory 4, temporary character string memory 14, and document memory 9 as display data, respectively;
Reference numeral 8 denotes a display control section which controls the display of the contents of the reading display register 15, the temporary character string display register 16, and the document display register 17 on the display screen 19.

Next, the operation of creating a sentence containing kanji and kana according to the present invention will be explained.

FIG. 2 shows the flow of kana-kanji conversion input using the sequential selection method.

Keys input from keyboard 1 are input key register 2
The control is divided depending on the type of oyster input. When a character key is input, the input characters are read and sequentially stored in the character memory 4, and the next key input is accepted. Then, when the conversion key is input, the kana-kanji conversion dictionary 7 is searched according to the contents of the reading character memory 4 that have been stored up to that point, and the character string is converted into a character string containing kanji and kana. Here, the conversion results including the homophones are set in the conversion candidate memory 8, and the first conversion candidate is temporarily stored in the document memory 9.

The human operator confirms this on the display screen 19, and if the conversion candidate is the desired one, the conversion candidate is stored in the document memory 9 as a confirmed character string containing kanji and kana by inputting the next reading character. After that, we will continue to accept reading letters.

If the above conversion candidates are filled with desired kanji/kana mixed character strings, there are the following 21 operations.

(1) If the pronunciation character string is incorrect, the non-conversion key manually deletes the provisional converted character string from the document memory 9 and also clears the conversion candidate memory 8. Then, the state returns to the reading character input state, and for example, if the back key is pressed
After deleting the Tsuda reading characters, manually write the correct reading character string.

(2) When a different homophone is desired, the temporary conversion character string is changed to the second or subsequent conversion candidate using the conversion key manually. Note that if it is not converted to the desired character string containing kanji and kana, it is because the corresponding word is not registered in the kana-kanji conversion dictionary, so enter the non-conversion key as described in the previous section to subdivide the reading character string. A desired kanji-kana mixed sentence is obtained by performing kanji-te-suji conversion.

On the other hand, when the input kana characters are input as they are without the need for kana-kanji conversion, the contents of the reading character memory 4 are determined as they are by manual input of the non-conversion key and stored in the document memory 9.

As described above, the successive conversion method is sufficiently easy to use for beginner inputters, and is a reliable input means that does not overlook erroneous input or conversion.

Next, Flowke, a kana-kanji conversion input using the batch selection method,
Batch input is shown in FIG. 3, and pattern selection is shown in FIG. 4.

During batch input, input character keys are stored in the reading character memory 4 as shown in Figure 3, and when the conversion key is pressed, the contents of the reading character memory 4 are stored in the reading save memory 11, and then kana-kanji conversion is performed. The dictionary 7 is searched and converted into a character string containing kanji and kana, and the first conversion candidate at that time is stored in the document memory 9 as a provisional conversion character string, and the position information of the converted character string in the document memory 9 is stored. is stored in the temporary converted character string document localization memory 12, and the next reading input is accepted.

On the other hand, if a non-conversion key is input, the reading character memory 4
The content of is stored as it is in the document memory 9 as a fixed character string.

Further, after completing an appropriate amount of continuous manual effort, control is transferred to batch selection processing by, for example, inputting an end key.

- When selecting a pattern, read and save memory 11 as shown in FIG.
The reading is restored to the reading character memory 4 from the beginning of , and the provisional converted character string υ is extracted from the temporary converted character string document current position memory 12. The inputter confirms the provisional converted character string on the display screen 19, and if it is correctly converted to the desired Kanji/Kana character string, presses the confirmation key to store the provisional converted character string in the document memory as a finalized character string. 9, the corresponding reading/saving memory 11 and temporary converted character string document location memory 12 are cleared, and the next temporary converted character string is confirmed.

On the other hand, if it is not the desired sentence containing kanji and kana, press the correction key to display the contents of the reading character memory 4 on the display screen 19, and then select another conversion candidate in exactly the same way as the successive conversion method. Or correct the reading. All of the converted character strings at this time are stored in the temporary character string memory 14, and when the confirm key is pressed, the temporary converted character string replaces the contents of the temporary character string memory 14 and is stored in the document memory 9 as a confirmed character string. Therefore, since the temporary character string can be created without being restricted by the input at the time of batch input, it is possible to simply change the conversion candidates or correct the pronunciation of the character string, and it is also possible to add and delete words and phrases. After the character string is confirmed, the reading and saving memory 11 corresponding to i and the temporary converted character string document 1f
The ffβ memory 12 is cleared and the next provisional conversion character string is confirmed.

When there are no more provisional conversion character strings, control is returned from batch selection to batch input and new input is accepted.

In addition, if you visually check all the provisionally converted character strings on the display screen 19 and find that they have all been converted to the desired character strings containing kanji and kana, you can complete all provisional conversions by inputting the end key. The character string is stored in the document memory 9 as a finalized character string, the reading and saving memory 11 and the provisional converted character string position memory 12 in the document are all cleared, and control is returned from batch selection to batch manual operation.

Although not specifically explained above, the kanji, kana, and character mixing device according to the present invention is equipped with an input mode key, and the sequential selection method or the batch selection method can be specified according to instructions from the inputter. It can be freely selected, and the input mode control section 3 controls its opening.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, the inputter can specify and select either the sequential selection method or the batch selection method, and - in the pattern selection method, the inputter can specify and select without interrupting the inputter's thinking. , if you are still inputting based on the original, you can input without taking your eyes off the original (11), and you can easily change conversion candidates when making batch selections without worrying about input errors. , it is possible to provide a literate device capable of correcting kanji and kana characters.
