Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention particularly relates to a kana / kanji conversion type document creating apparatus.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems] Conventionally, in a kana / kanji conversion type document creating apparatus, when a kana character of a hiragana or katakana character is input from a key input device, this kana character is converted into a kanji character. It is converted to Kanji by the device. At this time, when there are a plurality of Kanji candidate characters for one phonetic kana character, the plurality of Kanji candidate characters are stored in the memory and displayed on the display device. The operator operates the key input device to select and designate a necessary kanji from a plurality of kanji candidate characters displayed on the display device.

By the way, when there are a relatively large number of Kanji candidate characters, the operator needs to recognize the end of the displayed candidate characters. Therefore, it is usually considered that the reading kana character is displayed at the end of the candidate character, but a candidate character consisting of all kana characters may be output among the candidate characters. For this reason, the operator cannot immediately recognize the end of a large number of Kanji candidate characters, which requires a lot of time for the candidate character selection process, which lowers the efficiency of the document creation process.

[Object of the Invention] It is an object of the present invention to allow a document creation device to immediately recognize the end of a kanji candidate character even if there are a large number of kanji candidate characters for an input phonetic kana character. It is an object of the present invention to provide a document creation device capable of efficiently performing a candidate character selection process.

[Summary of the Invention] According to the present invention, in a kana / kanji conversion method document creation device, when all kana candidate characters that are input and kanji candidate characters corresponding to the kana characters are kana characters, each kana character is delimited. A kana character output means for separately outputting is provided. The reading kana character output from the kana character output means is stored at the end of the Japanese text memory means by the reading kana character storage means. In the Japanese sentence memory means, the Japanese sentence storage means stores the kanji candidate characters other than the kanji candidate characters consisting of all kana characters in the storage areas excluding the storage area for the reading kana characters stored at the end of the Japanese sentence memory means. Is configured.

With such a configuration, the reading kana character is stored at the end of the kanji candidate character in the Japanese sentence memory means, and even if there are many kanji candidate characters, the end can be recognized immediately.

[Embodiment of the Invention] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. First
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration according to an embodiment, and is a partial configuration diagram of a kana / kanji conversion type document creation device. In FIG. 1, a kanji conversion device 10 converts kanji characters (hiragana characters or katakana characters) stored in the kanji character memory 11 into kanji characters based on a kanji dictionary in the dictionary memory 12 to obtain kanji candidate characters. Output. The reading kana character memory 11 is a memory for storing the reading kana characters input by a key input device (not shown). The kanji conversion device 10
A candidate character consisting of all kana characters (hereinafter referred to as kana candidate character) among a plurality of kanji candidate characters is read and registered as an input device 13
Output to other Kanji candidate characters and other Japanese information registration device
Output to 14.

The length register 15 stores the length data of the kanji candidate characters output from the kanji conversion device 10 and the length data of the reading kana characters stored in the reading kana character memory 11. The reading input registration device 13 distinguishes both the kana candidate character output from the kanji conversion device 10 and the reading kana character stored in the reading kana character memory 11 and outputs each to the Japanese sentence information registration device 14. The Japanese sentence information registration device 14 stores each output character of the Chinese character conversion device 10 and the reading input registration device 13 in the Japanese sentence memory 20 (shown in FIG. 2) together with the respective length data.

Next, the operation of the embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, it is assumed that the phonetic alphabet characters necessary for the document creation process are input from a key input device (not shown).
The input kana character is stored in the kana character memory 11. Further, when a Kanji conversion process is instructed by the key input device, the Kanji conversion device 10 causes the kana character memory 11
Converts the reading kana characters stored in to kanji. The kanji conversion device 10 executes kanji conversion processing based on the kanji dictionary in the dictionary memory 12, and outputs kanji candidate characters other than kana candidate characters to the Japanese sentence information registration device 14. The reading input registration device 13
A process for distinguishing both the reading kana characters stored in the reading kana character memory 11 and the kana candidate characters (here, the same as the reading kana characters) output from the kanji conversion device 10 (for example, an identification code is added to each character Yes) and outputs both kana characters to the Japanese text information registration device 14.

The Japanese text information registration device 14 performs the operation shown in the flowchart of FIG. That is, first, as shown in step S1, the Japanese text information registration device 14 determines whether or not the characters output from the kanji conversion device 10 and the reading input registration device 13 include reading kana characters (hiragana characters or katakana characters). To judge. If there is a phonetic kana character as a result of this determination, the phonetic kana character is stored at the end of the Japanese sentence memory 20 of FIG. 2 (step S
2). That is, when the phonetic kana character is "ai", the Japanese text information registration device 14 stores the phonetic kana character together with the length data 22 in the last storage area 21 of the Japanese text memory 20, as shown in FIG. To do. This length data 22 is the length register
Remembered in 15.

Next, as shown in step S3, the Japanese text information registration device 14
Determines whether or not there is a kana candidate character consisting of all kana characters among the characters from the kanji conversion device 10 and the reading input registration device 13. If there is a kana candidate character as a result of this determination, the kana candidate character is rejected without being stored in the Japanese sentence memory 20 (step S4). Japanese information registration device 14
For kanji candidate characters that are not kana candidate characters (including words consisting of kanji and kana characters), the kanji characters are stored in the storage area of the Japanese text memory 20 other than the reading kana character storage area 21, as shown in step S5. It is determined whether the candidate character can be stored. This determination processing is performed by the length data 22 of the Chinese character candidate character. As a result of this determination, if the storage area other than the storage area 21 of the Japanese sentence memory 20 has only one word length and the kanji candidate character has a two word length such as “ai”, the kanji candidate character is rejected ( Step S6). On the other hand, if the storage area other than the storage area 21 can be secured in the Japanese text memory 20 according to the determination result of step S5, the Japanese text information registration device 14 stores the Kanji candidate character in the Japanese text memory 20.

In this way, the Japanese text information registration device 14 becomes a kanji conversion device.
The registration process of steps S1 to S7 is executed for all of the plurality of Kanji candidate characters output from 10
Memorize each Kanji candidate character sequentially from the beginning of 20. The Japanese text information registration device 14 stores a phonetic kana character corresponding to each Kanji candidate character at the end of the Japanese text memory 20. The kanji candidate characters stored in the Japanese text memory 20 are displayed on a display device (not shown). The operator selects and specifies a necessary kanji candidate character from the displayed kanji candidate characters. At this time, the reading kana character is read next from the Japanese character memory 20 and displayed after the last kanji candidate character, so that the operator can immediately confirm the last kanji candidate character. Becomes Further, since the kana candidate characters consisting of all kana characters are always rejected, the operator is prevented from seeing the kana candidate characters and erroneously recognizing the last kanji candidate character.

[Effects of the Invention] As described in detail above, according to the present invention, in the kana / kanji conversion type document creation device, when there are a large number of kanji candidate characters for the input phonetic kana characters, the last kanji candidate is selected. It is possible to store the reading kana character next to the character. Therefore, the end of the kanji candidate character can be recognized immediately and surely.

Therefore, the selection process for the Kanji candidate characters obtained by the Kanji conversion process can be efficiently performed, and as a result, the efficiency of the document creation process can be improved.
