Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document creating device, and more particularly to a document creating device having a number converting means suitable for creating a character string mixed with kanji and kana from an input number. .

[Prior Art] The conventional number conversion method is based on business software news (BUSI
NESS SOFT NEWS) November / 1986 VOL.19 SOFTBANK CORP.
As described in (SoftBank Corp.) issue, the operator specifies the mode with or without partial omission of the conversion character string before conversion processing according to the application, then input the number and output the desired character string. It is a method to do. In this method, when the converted character string is not the desired character string, the mode is switched for converting the desired character string, and then the number is input again to perform the conversion operation.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] If the conversion result for the input number is not the desired character string, a part of the character string that is the conversion result must be deleted or another character string must be added. I have to
Conventionally, it was troublesome to correct the character string of the conversion result.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a document creating apparatus for rapidly creating a character string such as a place name and an address that are sequentially arranged in a hierarchical manner, which is especially useful for creating an address book and addressing mail. Suitable for

[Means for Solving Problems] The above-mentioned purpose is an input unit for inputting a number or the like to be number-converted and a character example corresponding to the number. A storage unit that stores a dictionary, a conversion processing unit that searches a dictionary stored in this storage unit based on the number input from the input unit and converts it into a character string, and a character string converted by this conversion processing unit. In a document creation device having a display unit for displaying, a prefecture name at the beginning of a character string that is a conversion candidate and is displayed on the display unit after being converted by the conversion processing unit according to the number input by the input unit. Without displaying, a partial character string is displayed, or an instruction key for instructing whether to display a full-text character string with these prefecture names, a means for storing the display state by the instruction key, and an instruction key Respond to operation Then, multiple full-text strings with the leading prefecture name are displayed in the conversion candidate display area, or multiple partial character strings beginning with the city or county are displayed without displaying the leading prefecture name. And a means for displaying on the display unit.

[Operation] When the conversion result is not the desired character string, it is possible to easily change the conversion result character string by inputting only the instruction key for changing a part of the character string. Therefore, the number can be input without performing the conversion operation again as in the conventional case.

[Embodiment of the Invention] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the document creating apparatus according to the present invention, in which the control unit 1 controls execution of kana-kanji conversion processing and the like, and is configured by using a CPU. The input unit 2 is, for example, a keyboard as shown in FIG. 3 for inputting a number for performing number conversion, a conversion instruction, a selection instruction, a character string change instruction, and the like. The display unit 3 is composed of, for example, a CRT display device for displaying a character string such as an input number and a number conversion result. The conversion processing unit 4 converts the input number to be converted into a character string containing kanji and kana.
It is composed by the U program. The storage unit 5 stores a dictionary and the like used in conversion processing and the like.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart of the processing function of number conversion using the document creation apparatus, and the processing contents will be described below with reference to this drawing. This control process is executed by pressing the number input key 902 of the input unit 2 shown in FIG.

In the initial value setting process 10, a mode (hereinafter, referred to as a processing mode) for instructing whether to execute a process of inputting a number to be a number conversion target or a process of selecting a conversion result candidate is first described as a number input process. Set (processing mode = 0). Further, an initial value of the display state (hereinafter referred to as a display mode) of the character string which is the conversion result is stored in the storage unit 5.
For example, it is set by referring to the character string display state storage unit 411 of the information storage buffer shown in FIG.

A process 20 waits for a key input from the input unit 2, and a process 21 determines whether the key input from the input unit 2 is the end key 903. If the input key is other than the corresponding key, the process proceeds to step 22. When the input key is the end key 903, the display mode is saved in the character string display state storage area 411 in process 51, and this control process is terminated.

In processing 22, the processing mode is determined, and in the case of the processing for inputting the number to be converted (processing mode = 0), processing 23
To select a conversion result candidate (processing mode = 1)
In the case of, the process 42 is performed.

In the input process of the number to be the number conversion target, first, it is determined whether or not the input key is the conversion key 905, and if it is not the corresponding key, the number acquisition process 30 is started and the number conversion target character string Generate and move to processing 20. When the input key is the conversion key 905, the conversion process 40 is started, the character string corresponding to the input number is searched from the number conversion dictionary existing in the storage unit 5 and displayed on the display unit 3, and then in the process 41. The processing mode is changed to “1” and the process 20 is performed.

In the process of selecting the conversion result candidate, first, it is determined whether or not the input key is the execution key 908 in process 42, and if it is the corresponding key, the conversion candidate is confirmed in process 43.
As shown in the figure, this is displayed on the display unit 4 and the process 46 is proceeded to.

If the input key is other than the execute key 908, it is determined in step 44 whether the input key is the non-conversion key 904, and if it is the corresponding key, the conversion candidate character string displayed on the display unit 3 in step 45. After erasing or the input number, the process mode is changed to "0" in process 46 and the process proceeds to process 20.

If the input key is other than the non-conversion key 904, the conversion process 4
Start the candidate selection process 50 of the character string converted by 0,
Processing such as selection of a desired character string and partial modification of the converted character string is performed, and the process proceeds to processing 20.

The operations of the number acquisition process 30, the conversion process 40, and the candidate selection process 50 described above will be described in detail below.

First, FIG. 5 shows a flowchart showing the operation of the number fetching process 30.

In process 301, it is determined whether or not the input key is the character key 901 to be the number conversion target, and if it is the target character key 901, the process proceeds to process 302, and otherwise the process proceeds to process 303.

In the case of the number conversion target character key 901, the input key information is stored in the input number storage buffer shown in FIG. At this time, for example, i is used as a pointer for managing the input number storage buffer. i is set to "1" when the system is started up. In this process, the value of i is set to 1
The number stored in the input number storage buffer is displayed on the display unit 3 as shown in FIG. 7, for example.
When "31" is stored in the input number storage buffer as shown in FIG. 6, the operator inputs "1" from the input section 2.
When is input, it is stored as shown in FIG. 8 and displayed on the display unit 3 as shown in FIG. In this screen, the lowermost part is a number input line, the uppermost one is a candidate character string display line, and the uppermost part is a text character string output line.

In process 303, it is determined whether or not the input key is the backward key 907, and if it is not the corresponding key, the process proceeds to process 305.

In process 304, for example, when "311" is stored in the input number storage buffer shown in FIG. 8 and the operator inputs the backward key from the input unit 2, the value of i is decremented by 1, and the input number storage buffer The third "1" from the beginning is deleted to bring it to the state shown in FIG. 6, and what is displayed on the display unit 3 as shown in FIG. 9 is displayed on the display unit 3 as shown in FIG.
To display.

In process 305, it is determined whether or not the input key is the non-conversion key 904, and if it is the corresponding key, in process 306 it is displayed on the display unit 3 as shown in FIG. If the input key is other than the non-conversion key 904, it is determined that the key input is invalid, and an abnormal process of process 307 is executed. For example, an abnormal sound is emitted and the process ends.

Next, a flowchart showing the operation of the conversion processing 40 is shown in FIG.

First, from the first character of the number input in process 401,
The start address of the number table section 132 storing the number data of the second and subsequent characters of the number conversion dictionary shown in the figure is acquired from the number index section 131 and is used as a number table search pointer (hereinafter referred to as NO $ POI). set. Similarly, the notation table section 1 in which the character string data is stored in the process 402
The head address of 34 is acquired from the notation index unit 133 and set in a notation table search pointer (hereinafter referred to as CHAR $ POI).

In process 403, the number stored in the input number storage buffer is compared with the number data stored in the number table unit 132 shown in FIG. At this time, the data stored in the number table unit 132 is the second and subsequent characters, but can be used as the comparison target number by combining with the first character of the input number storage buffer. Therefore, for example, the first character "3" of the number stored in the input number storage buffer shown in FIG. 8 and the first "00" of the number data stored in the number table unit 132 are combined to generate "30".
It becomes 0 ”.

If the comparison result is “input number> number data”, process 405
To "404" when "input number = number data",
If “input number <number data”, the process proceeds to step 407.

If the input number and the number data match as a result of the process 403, the character string corresponding to the input number is retrieved from the notation table unit 134 in process 404 and stored in the candidate character string storage buffer 151 shown in FIG. For example, when the character string -k of the notation table unit 134 shown in FIG. 13 is extracted and stored in the candidate character string storage buffer 151, the value of CHAR $ POI + 1 indicating the beginning of the character string -k is set to the character string transfer source pointer. (Hereinafter S
After setting it to EL $ POI), the compression code 1402 "0
8 ”is transferred to the compressed code storage position 1502 indicated by j in the candidate character string storage buffer 151.

Next, the character string 1403 “Mito City” for one candidate is taken out from SEL $ POI and transferred to the character string storage area 1503 indicated by j of the candidate character string storage buffer 151. At this time, since the extracted character string is three characters, the number of characters is stored in the character number storage area 1501 indicated by j of the candidate character string storage buffer 151, and at the same time, "3" for the number of extracted characters is added to SEL $ POI. The character string is moved to the character string extraction position of, and j is also incremented by 1. By repeating the above processing according to the record length 1401, the candidate character string can be extracted. In addition,
The candidate character string storage buffer management pointer j is set to "1" when the conversion process is executed.

In process 405, NO $ POI is moved to the next number data storage start position. In process 406, CHAR $ POI is moved to the next character string storage start position, and the process moves to process 403.

In process 407, the display mode is determined. When the display mode is all character string display (display mode = 1), all character string display processing 410 is displayed on the display unit 3 as shown in FIG. 17, and the processing is terminated.

Details of the all-character display process 410 will be described below with reference to FIG. 12a.

First, in process 4101, an initial value “1” is set in the management pointer (hereinafter referred to as MDIS $ POI) of the matrix display buffer 152.

In process 4102, the data in the candidate character string storage buffer 151 is taken out, and based on the code stored in the code storage section 1502 indicated by the pointer (hereinafter referred to as SEA $ POI), the code / character string correspondence dictionary shown in FIG. 16 is obtained. The code storage unit 161 is searched, and the character string corresponding to the matched code is acquired from the corresponding character string storage unit 162.

In process 4103, the character string in the character string storage unit 1503 indicated by SEA $ POI of the candidate character string storage buffer 151 and the character example acquired in the process 4102 are combined and set in the matrix display buffer 152 indicated by MDIS $ POI. To do.

In process 4104, the value of SEA $ POI and the value of MDIS $ POI are incremented by 1.

In process 4106, it is determined whether or not the setting of the candidate character string in the matrix display buffer 152 is completed, and if not completed, the process proceeds to process 4102.

In process 4107, a character string similar to the character string in the first area 1521 of the matrix display buffer 152 is set in the candidate character string display buffer 151, and in process 4106, a process of displaying it on the display unit 3 is executed.

At this time, the initial value of SEA $ POI is set by upper processing. For example, the candidate character string storage buffer 15 shown in FIG.
To generate all character strings in the state of 1, the code / character string is based on the code “08” of the code storage unit 1502 indicated by SEA $ POI (assuming initial value = 1) of the candidate character string storage buffer 151. The code storage unit 161 of the corresponding dictionary is searched, and the character string “Ibaraki prefecture” corresponding to the matched code is acquired. Combined with the character string “Mito City” in the character string storage unit 1503 indicated by SEA $ POI in the candidate character string storage buffer 151, “Mito City, Ibaraki Prefecture” is generated, and MD is generated.
It is set in the matrix display buffer 1521 indicated by IS $ POI and the value of SEA $ POI is incremented by 1. Similarly, the processing 4102
To 4104 are repeated to set "Nakaminato City, Ibaraki Prefecture" in the matrix display buffer 1522 and "Hitachi City, Ibaraki Prefecture" in the matrix display buffer 1523. Next, "Mito City, Ibaraki Prefecture" is set in the candidate character string display buffer 153, and the 17th
This is displayed on the display unit 3 as shown in the figure.

The result of determination in process 407 is a partial character string display (display mode =
In the case of 0), in process 420, the candidate character string storage buffer 151
Only the character strings stored in the matrix display buffer 152 and the candidate character string display buffer 153 are set, and this is displayed on the display unit 3 as shown in FIG.

Details of the partial character string display process 420 will be described below with reference to FIG. 12b.

First, in process 4201, the initial value “1” of MDIS $ POI is set. In process 4202, SEA $ in the candidate character string storage buffer 151
The character string in the character string storage unit 1503 indicated by POI is set in the matrix display buffer 152 indicated by MDIS $ POI. Processing 420
At 3, the value of SEA $ POI and MDIS $ POI is incremented by 1. processing
At 4204, it is determined whether or not the setting of the candidate character string in the matrix display buffer 152 is completed, and if not completed, the process proceeds to 4202. In process 4205, the same character string as the character string set in the head area 1521 of the matrix display buffer 152 is set in the candidate character string display buffer 153. Then, in process 4206, this is displayed on the display unit 3 and the partial character string display process ends. At this time, the initial value of SEA $ POI is set by upper processing. For example, in the state of the candidate character string storage buffer 151 shown in FIG. 15, SEA $ POI (initial value = 1) of the candidate character string storage buffer 151.
The character string “Mito City” in the character string storage unit 1503 indicated by
Set it in the matrix display buffer 1521 indicated by POI, and
Increase the value of EA $ POI and MDIS $ POI by 1. Similarly, the above processes 4202 and 4203 are repeated, and the matrix display buffer 1522
"Nakaminato City" is set to, and "Hitachi City" is set to the matrix display buffer 1523. Next, the candidate character string display buffer
“Mito City” is set in 153, and this is displayed on the display unit 3 as shown in FIG.

Next, the operation of the candidate selection process 50 will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, in process 5001, it is determined whether the key input from the input unit 2 is the conversion key 905, and if it is not the corresponding key, the process proceeds to process 5003.

If the input key is the conversion key 905, in process 5002, the next candidate of the character string displayed in the candidate display area is set in the candidate display buffer 153 and displayed on the display unit 3. For example, the conversion candidate “Mito City, Ibaraki Prefecture” displayed in the candidate character string display line shown in FIG.
The candidate character string display line in the figure is changed to "Nakaminato City, Ibaraki Prefecture" and displayed on the display unit 3.

In process 5003, it is determined whether the input key is the selection key 911, and if it is not the corresponding key, the process proceeds to process 5005.

When the input key is the selection key 911, the character string selected in the process 5004 is set in the candidate display buffer 153 and displayed on the display unit 3. For example, if you select "Hitachi City, Ibaraki Prefecture" on the matrix display screen of Fig. 20, "Nakaminato City, Ibaraki Prefecture" displayed in the candidate character string display line
The candidate character string display line in FIG. 21 is changed to “Hitachi City, Ibaraki Prefecture” and displayed on the display unit 3.

In processing 5005, whether the input key is the next key 909 or the previous key 9
It is determined whether it is 10, and if it is other than the corresponding key, the process proceeds to processing 5007.

If the input key is the next key 909, in process 5006, the conversion candidate character strings after the conversion candidate character string displayed on the matrix display screen are buffered for matrix display.
Set it to 152 and display it on the display unit 3. For example,
As shown in FIG. 20, if the matrix display screen is displayed in the order of “Mito City, Ibaraki Prefecture”, “Nakaminato City, Ibaraki Prefecture” and “Hitachi City, Ibaraki Prefecture”, the buffer 152 for matrix display is cleared and the candidate character is displayed. The fourth character string “Kashima-gun” stored in the column storage buffer 151 is taken out and is set to “Kashima-gun, Ibaraki Prefecture” according to the display mode. Matrix display buffer 15
It is stored in 2, and is displayed on the display unit 3 as shown in FIG. In this example, since there are four conversion candidates stored in the candidate character string storage buffer 151, only one candidate is displayed on the matrix display screen when the next key 909 is input. To display on the matrix screen.

When the input key is the previous key 910, the next key 9
Return to the matrix display screen before entering 09. For example, if it is displayed on the display unit 3 as shown in FIG. 22, it is changed as shown in FIG. 21 and displayed on the display unit 3.

In process 5007, it is determined whether or not the input key is the instruction key 906 for changing the conversion candidate character string displayed on the display unit 3, and if it is other than the corresponding key, it is determined that the input is an invalid key. Abnormality processing 5008 is performed and the processing ends. This abnormality processing is processing such as sounding an abnormal sound.

If the input key is the instruction key 906, the process 5009 determines the display mode of the conversion candidate character string displayed on the display unit 3. If the display mode is the all character string display state, the process proceeds to processing 5010, and if the display mode is the partial character string display state, the process proceeds to processing 5012.

In process 5010, the display mode is changed from the full character string display state to the partial character string display state (display mode = 0), and the process
In step 5011, a part of the conversion candidate character string displayed on the display unit 3 is deleted, the character string is displayed again on the display unit 3, and the process ends. In the partial deletion processing of the conversion candidate character strings, the same processing as the partial character string display procedure 420 of FIG. 12 is performed, and for example, the characters of the candidate character string display line displayed on the display unit 3 as shown in FIG. 17 are displayed. The conversion candidate character string displayed on the row and matrix screen is changed as shown in FIG. 18 and displayed again on the display unit 3.

If the display mode is the partial character string display state, the process 50
In 12, the display mode is changed from the partial character example display state to the full character string display state (display mode = 1), and in step 5013, another character string is added to the conversion candidate character string displayed on the display unit 3. This is displayed on the display unit 3 and the process is terminated. In the partial character string addition process of the conversion candidate character string, the same process as the all character string display process 410 of FIG. 12 is performed, and for example, the candidate character string display line displayed on the display unit 3 as shown in FIG. 18 and the conversion candidate character string displayed on the matrix screen are changed as shown in FIG. 18 and displayed again on the display unit 3.

The processes 5010 to 5013 are repeatedly executed each time the instruction key 906 is input from the input unit 2, so that the converted candidate character string can be changed.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention particularly displays the name of the first prefecture of a character string that is a conversion candidate displayed on the display unit after being converted by the conversion processing unit according to the number input by the input unit. Without displaying a partial character string or displaying a full-text character string with these prefecture names, a means for storing the display state by the instruction key, and a response to the operation of the instruction key Then, multiple full-text strings with leading prefectures etc. are displayed in the conversion candidate display section, or multiple partial character strings beginning with city or county without displaying the leading prefectures etc. are converted candidates. Since it is configured to have a means for displaying on the display unit, it is possible to quickly create a character string that is sequentially arranged hierarchically such as a place name and an address, and in particular, create a document suitable for creating an address book or mailing address.
