Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a document creation device, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a document creation device with a small number of operation keys and a relatively short conversion time.

Enter the sentence you want to convert into a type of document creation device in hiragana or ○marks, display it as a sentence mixed with kanji,
Some are configured to print out.

In such a device, when inputting words expressed in katakana, proper nouns, etc., these character input or word conversion operations are positioned as special conversion operations, and the normal conversion operation is switched to these predetermined conversion operations. is being carried out. FIG. 1 is a configuration explanatory diagram showing an example of the appearance of this type of subordinate device, in which IN is an input circuit, and SE is an input circuit.
L is a conversion selection circuit, RRB is a verification circuit, TA, TB
is a memory, GI,,2, GA,,2, GB,2 is a gate, and CNV is a katakana conversion circuit.

The input circuit IM is to send the converted sentence as a hiragana character string, and when using the hiragana key, it is directly sent, and when using the English key to input Roman characters, it is converted to a hiragana character string. Sent out.

The conversion selection circuit SEL selects and sets the conversion mode, and selects either the general word/proper noun mode M or the katakana mode M2. Memory TA
stores words containing kanji that correspond to general words. The matching circuit RA matches the character string to be converted sent from the gate GI with the word containing kanji stored in the memory TA, and if there is a matching word, it passes through the gate G and converts it into a word containing kanji. send out general words,
If there is no matching character string, the hiragana character string is sent as it is to the matching circuit RB through the gate GA. The memory TB stores words containing kanji that correspond to proper nouns. The matching circuit RB matches the character string to be converted sent from the gate OA with the kanji-mixed word stored in the memory TB, and if there is a matching character string, the unique character string that has been converted into the kanji-mixed word through the gate GB2 is checked. send a noun,
If there is no matching string, the hiragana character string is sent through gate GB. On the other hand, katakana conversion circuit CNV
converts the character string to be converted sent from gate GI2 into a katakana character string and sends it out. However, with this configuration, although the selection setting of the conversion mode can be simplified by having only two options, matching must be performed twice in order to convert a proper noun to a word containing kanji. , the disadvantage is that the conversion speed is slow.

In order to increase the conversion speed, a configuration as shown in FIG. 2 has been proposed, but the conversion selection circuit SE
L must have a three-way structure with a general word mode M, a proper noun mode M2, and a katakana mode M3, which inevitably complicates the configuration and operation.
In order to solve the drawbacks of these subordinates, the present invention is characterized in that the conversion mode is made to be a general word conversion mode and a proper noun/katakana conversion mode.
Hereinafter, it will be explained in detail using the drawings. FIG. 3 is a configuration explanatory diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention, and parts equivalent to those in FIGS. 1 and 2 are given the same reference numerals.

In FIG. 3, a conversion selection circuit SEL selects either a general word mode M or a proper noun/katakana mode M2.

The operation of the device configured in this way will be explained.

General word mode M. is selected, the matching circuit RA compares the character string to be converted sent from the gate GI and the memory TA.
If there is a match, the general word converted to a word with kanji is sent through gate GA2, and if there is no match, the hiragana character string is sent to gate GA. , is sent through.

Next, when the proper noun/katakana mode M2 is selected, the katakana conversion circuit CNV converts the character string to be converted sent from the gate GI2 into a katakana character string.

Then, the matching circuit RB matches the converted word converted into a katakana character string with the word mixed with kanji stored in the memory TB, and if there is a matching word, the gate GB2
It sends out proper nouns converted into words with kanji mixed in through gate GB, and if there is no matching word, it is sent out through gate GB as a katakana character string. That is, proper nouns that are not stored in the memory TB' are converted to katakana character strings and sent out, but this is more effective and more distinguishable than writing them as hiragana character strings. Also,
Proper nouns and words normally written in katakana (for example, when you want to use onomatopoeia or emphasis) rarely match, and if such words are input, you can use correction mode to correct them. FIG. 4 is a configuration explanatory diagram showing an example of a keyboard used in the present invention, in which 1 is a first key, 21 and 22 are second keys, and 3 is a third key.

The first key is to convert the sentence into “hiragana” or “
Input in Roman letters.The second keys 21 and 22 are
The conversion mode of the sentence to be converted inputted with the key is switched from the normal general word conversion mode to a unique special conversion mode corresponding to each key 21, 22, and the key 21 in this embodiment is “ The key 22 switches to the "alphabet" conversion mode, and the key 22 switches to the "katakana" or "proper noun" conversion mode. Key 21 like this
, 22, those having a hold function are used.
The third key 3 has the function of inputting a delimiter signal for each word when inputting a sentence to be converted, as well as releasing the hold state of the second keys 21 and 22 to return to the general word conversion mode. . As such a release function, the second
It is sufficient to use a holding mechanism that corresponds to the holding mechanism of the keys 21 and 22, and may be mechanical or electronic. This keyboard configuration facilitates key operations and is particularly suitable for creating business documents in which katakana characters and proper nouns appear frequently.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to realize a document creation device that has a small number of operation keys, is easy to operate, and requires relatively short conversion time, and has great practical effects.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. In a document creation device that converts a converted sentence input in hiragana or romaji into a sentence containing kanji on a word-by-word basis, a conversion selection circuit that selects either general word conversion or proper noun/katakana conversion, and A first memory stores the corresponding word containing kanji, a second memory stores the word containing kanji corresponding to the proper noun, and when general word conversion is selected, the character string to be converted and the first memory are stored. a first matching circuit that performs a predetermined word conversion by comparing the words, a katakana conversion circuit that converts a character string to be converted into katakana by selecting proper noun/katakana conversion, and a character string converted to katakana. and a second matching circuit that performs predetermined word conversion by comparing the word with the second memory, and if there is no corresponding word in the first memory, outputs the word in hiragana, and outputs the word in hiragana.
