JPH0731676B2 - Document creation device - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to a document creation device such as a word processor for Japanese and English sentences.

[Conventional technology]

When creating a document, when expressing something similar,
Expressing with different words may create a document in which the terms are not unified as a whole. For example, it may be possible to unify the documents by changing all the terms “shift”, “move”, and “move” to “move”.

However, heretofore, a document creating apparatus having a means for picking up similar terms in order to unify the terms in this way has not been known.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

As described above, conventionally, a document creation device having a means for picking up similar terms has not been known, and therefore, when proofreading a document in which the terms are not unified, the inconsistency of those expressions is recognized by the human eye. It is necessary to check the entire text, which requires a great deal of labor and time.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, picks up terms of similar expressions described in the document, and displays the location thereof by underline display, reverse display, brightness change display, list display, etc. It is an object of the present invention to provide a document creation device that can be displayed and easily confirmed, and thereby can efficiently unify terms in documents.

[Means for solving problems]

A document creation device according to the present invention includes an input unit for inputting data, an analysis unit for analyzing input data, a conversion unit for converting a document based on the input data, a synonym search unit for searching a synonym, and a synonym search unit on a screen. A control unit for controlling the editing of, and a control unit for the synonym search unit, a morphological analysis unit for performing morphological analysis,
A dictionary having a general dictionary and a synonym dictionary, a synonym extraction unit that extracts synonyms from this dictionary, an adjunct word dictionary that has an adjunct word and a connection determination table, and a grammar analysis unit that performs utilization and adjunct word analysis on the extracted word And an output unit that is controlled by the control unit and outputs data such as a document.

[Action]

According to the present invention, by adding a dictionary having a synonym dictionary, a synonym extraction unit, an adjunct dictionary, a grammar analysis unit, and a control unit for controlling these units to a conventional document creation device, Underline or reverse display the location of terms with similar expressions in the document created by the authoring device, change the brightness or color on the screen at that location, or change these locations. It can be displayed together in a list. As a result, the document creator can easily confirm where the terms having similar expressions are located in the document, and thus the terms can be efficiently unified.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a Japanese word processor. Reference numeral 1 is an input unit consisting of a keyboard for inputting data such as characters, and 2 is an analysis of the input data. An analysis unit 3, a conversion unit for converting a kana / kanji mixed sentence based on the kana character string input from the input unit 1, a control unit 4 for controlling the synonym search unit 5 and an output unit 11, and a synonym 5 Is a synonym search unit, 6 is a morphological analysis unit, 7 is a synonym extraction unit that extracts synonyms from a synonym dictionary, 8 is a dictionary having a Kanji lookup dictionary and a synonym dictionary, and 9 is grammatical analysis for the extracted words. Grammar analysis unit, 10 is an adjunct dictionary with adjuncts and connection judgment table, 11 is CR
An output unit that outputs characters and the like to a T display or the like.

The operation of inputting a document by the kana-kanji conversion in the embodiment of the present invention and proofreading the unified terms will be described.

It is assumed that the document created by the document creating apparatus shown in FIG. 1 contains sentences with similar expressions as shown in FIG. Conventionally, the task of picking up these sentences from a document requires a document creator or the like to look through all the sentences, and a large amount of the document requires a lot of labor and time. According to the flow chart shown in FIG. 4, the pickup can be easily performed.

First, to pick up a sentence like the one shown in Figure 2,
The input section 1 gives an instruction for a synonym search for "transfer" in the sentence. The analysis unit 2 receives this key data, and based on the determination that Kana-Kanji conversion is not required, passes the character string “transfer” that is a synonym search target character string to the control unit 4 with a synonym search instruction. The synonym search unit 5 searches for a candidate that can be a synonym of “transfer” from the beginning of the sentence. In this case, a morphological level analysis is performed on "move" before starting the search. By looking up the dictionary 8, the morpheme analysis unit 6 recognizes that it is the stem of the verb "transition (five stages)", as shown in FIG. Further, the grammar analysis unit 9 finds that the "transfer" is the final form. Next, the synonym extraction unit 7 extracts from the dictionary 8 candidates having synonyms with "transition (five rows)" as shown in FIG. Next, the candidates of to shown in FIG. 3 are detected from the character string in the document. Since this is a search based on the word stem, even phrases that are used differently can be searched if they can be recognized as phrases by form-level analysis. For example, "move", "move", "do not move", etc. can all be searched. On the contrary, when there is "... move" in the sentence, the stem level (movement)
Matches, but fails due to grammar analysis. [Because it is used here as "movement (five steps or lines)").

In addition, the character string searched for as a synonym should be clarified by a display method (underline addition, brightness adjustment, color distinction, etc.) so that it can be distinguished from others on the screen. The above-described search is continued until the end of the sentence or until the designated position is reached, thereby ending the search processing. By correcting the synonyms used in the retrieved sentence into one term, the terms in the sentence can be easily unified.

Although one embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a Japanese word processor has been described above, it goes without saying that the present invention can be applied to, for example, an English word processor as well.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, according to the present invention, terms with similar expressions in a document created by a word processor or the like are picked up, and underlined or reverse-displayed at the location, or on the screen of the location. It is possible to change the brightness and color, or to display the locations of these in a list. As a result, it is possible to easily confirm the location of terms having similar expressions in the document, so that the terms in the document can be efficiently unified and a high-quality document can be created. Excellent effect can be achieved.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. A designation means for designating a character string to be subjected to a synonym search from a created document, and a synonym candidate for outputting a synonym candidate having a synonym relationship with the synonym search target character string designated by the designation means. Output means, a synonym search means for searching the created document for a character string that matches the synonym candidate output by the synonym candidate output means, and the character string searched by the synonym search means for another character string And a display unit for displaying the document separately.
