Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document creation device that converts an input character sequence into text by referring to a word dictionary.

TECHNICAL BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In recent years, document creation devices such as word processors have become popular, which input character strings consisting of a kana series and convert them into kana-kanji characters to create Japanese sentences.

This document creation device sequentially creates Japanese sentences by dividing input character sequences, converting them into words by referring to a word dictionary, and converting them into Kanji at the same time.
Incidentally, the word dictionary is generally constructed of a read-only storage device, and stores a plurality of words in sequence, for example, from ``ra'' to ``n''. The main body of the apparatus successively refers to such a word dictionary to search for words corresponding to the input character sequence, recognizes the words, and converts them into sentences. The problem with the background art is that while the word dictionary is uniquely given as described above, it contains words that are never used.

Conversely, many new words that are not registered in the dictionary often appear. However, the word dictionary cannot be rewritten due to the structure of its storage device, and there is no room for adding new words. For this reason, in the past, it was not possible to create sentences that were sufficiently convincing, and there was a strong desire for improvement. It has also been considered to configure the word dictionary with a rewritable storage device and register the necessary words each time, but there are problems in terms of practicality, such as the device size being large. Ta. Purpose of the Invention The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to easily delete unnecessary words and add new words to enable efficient document creation. An object of the present invention is to provide a document creation device equipped with a word dictionary.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a storage device of a discussion-only type that stores a plurality of words with a directory section that sets a flag indicating the deletion of the word and a flag indicating the addition of a new word. A word dictionary is constructed by providing an auxiliary storage device that can be used to register new words in additional flags.

Effects of the Invention As a result, although the word dictionary basically provides words uniquely from the read-only memo, it can equivalently delete unnecessary words and add new words from the perspective of the document creation device. becomes impossible.

Therefore, it is possible to register words in the word dictionary according to the purpose of document creation by making use of the words given in advance.
This makes it possible to create documents efficiently. Furthermore, new words can be added to and deleted from the word dictionary arbitrarily and freely, resulting in an extremely wide range of versatility. Embodiment of the Invention Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the concept of an embodiment of the apparatus, in which numeral 1 indicates the main body of the document creation apparatus, and numeral 2 indicates a word dictionary.

This word dictionary 2 includes a general word dictionary section 3 consisting of a storage device (ROM) exclusively for discussion in which general words are registered in advance;
Equipped with a new word dictionary section 4 in which new words can be written and registered as appropriate,
They are managed by directory units 5 and 6, respectively. The general word dictionary section 3 is configured by sequentially registering and storing predetermined words from the "a" section to the "n" section in accordance with, for example, JIS.

For each of these words, a deletion flag 3a and a new word addition flag 3b are set, respectively, under the control of the general word directory section 5.
The deletion flag 3a is set for unnecessary words that are not used in document creation in the main body 1 of the words registered in advance in the general word dictionary section 3. Therefore, when referring to a word dictionary when creating a document, the general word directory section 5a is searched, and words for which the deletion flag 3a is set are removed, that is, words that are unnecessary are removed and sequentially exported to the device body 1. will be used for document preparation. In other words, substantially unnecessary words are deleted from the word dictionary 2. On the other hand, if there are words to add,
A new word addition flag is set for the word in the general word dictionary section 3 where the word is to be inserted.

This addition flag is attached, for example, to the later words among the words registered in the general word dictionary section 3 before and after the position where the new word is to be inserted. Then, the new word is registered in the new word dictionary section 4 under the control of the new word directory section 6 in accordance with this flag 3b. As a result, when the directory section 5 searches for the new word addition flag 3b and finds that flag 3b, it is displayed that the word added immediately before the word to which the flag 3b is attached is registered in the new word dictionary section 4. be made known.
As a result, by searching the new word dictionary section 4 using the new word directory section 6, the added new words are read into the device main body 1 and used for document creation.
FIG. 2 shows the correspondence between the directory section 5 and the general language dictionary section 3.

That is, the dictionary section 3 stores words consisting of character code strings corresponding to the addresses, and the directory section 6 stores words corresponding to each address of the dictionary section 3, respectively.
It has one flag bit each. By setting this flag bit to 1, for example, the aforementioned deletions and additions are indicated. The example shown in FIG. 2 shows that the words stored at addresses "012" and "022" are deleted as unnecessary, and a new word is additionally inserted before address "020". A word deleted by setting the deletion flag 3a can be restored as a valid word by canceling the flag 3a. It goes without saying that the new word directory section 6 clearly indicates which additional flag 3b a new word corresponds to. As described above, according to the present invention, a simple process of effectively utilizing words set in advance and registered in a storage device exclusively for displaying, and setting a flag for deletion of unnecessary words among them. By setting a new word addition flag, a new word can be substantially deleted, and a new word can be additionally registered by setting a new word addition flag and writing it into the auxiliary storage device in accordance with this flag. Then, it becomes possible to effectively edit the document using common words excluding unnecessary words and newly added new words. Further, the word dictionary 2 controlled by the directory units 5 and 6 in this manner acts as a rewritable item when viewed from the device main body 1, so its practical advantage is enormous. Furthermore, since the word dictionary 2 effectively utilizes a storage device exclusively for discussion, the structure of the word dictionary and its control form are not so complicated. From this point of view, the effect is enormous. Furthermore, since the word dictionary 3 can be substantially expanded or reduced, it is possible to create documents efficiently. Note that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments.

For example, the capacity of the general word dictionary section 3 and the capacity of the new word dictionary section 4 may be determined according to specifications. Furthermore, the manner in which flags are set by the directory sections 5 and 6 is not particularly limited. It is also possible to set a third flag to replace the deleted word with another word. In this case, another word will be read from the new word dictionary 4 by addressing the general word dictionary 3. In short, the present invention can be implemented with various modifications without departing from the gist thereof.
