Embodiment A word search device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a word search device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 is a word input unit for inputting reading and notation of a word. An input word temporary storage unit 2 temporarily stores the reading and notation input from the word input unit 1. Three
Is a word dictionary unit, which stores reading, notation, notation length, and classification information as word information. Reference numeral 4 denotes a classification information extraction unit, which extracts the classification information of the words having the reading and the notation stored in the input word temporary storage unit 2 from the word dictionary unit 3. A classification information temporary storage unit 5 temporarily stores the classification information extracted by the classification information extraction unit 4. Reference numeral 6 is a notation length input section for inputting the notation length. A notation length temporary storage unit 7 temporarily stores the notation length input from the notation length input unit 6. A word search unit 8 searches the word dictionary unit 3 for words that have the classification information stored in the classification information temporary storage unit 5 and have the notation length stored in the notation length temporary storage unit 7. Then take out the notation. 9
Is a notation information temporary storage unit that temporarily stores the notation extracted by the word search unit 8. A word display unit 10 sequentially displays the notations stored in the notation information temporary storage unit 9.

The operation of the word search device of the present embodiment configured as described above will be described below.

First, the operator inputs the reading and the notation from the word input unit 1 in the input waiting state. The word input unit 1 temporarily stores the input reading and notation in the input word temporary storage unit 2, and then activates the classification information extracting unit 4. The classification information extracting unit 4 extracts the classification information of the words having the readings and the notations stored in the input word temporary storage unit 2 from the word dictionary unit 3 and stores the classification information in the classification information temporary storage unit 5, and then the notation length. The input unit 6 is put in the input waiting state. Next, the operator inputs the notation length from the notation length input unit 6. The notation length input unit 6 temporarily stores the input notation length in the notation length temporary storage unit 7, and then activates the word search unit 8. The word search unit 8 searches the word dictionary unit 3 for a word having the classification information stored in the classification information temporary storage unit 5 and having the notation length stored in the notation length temporary storage unit 7, After the notation is taken out and stored in the notation information temporary storage unit 9, the word display unit 10 is activated. The word display unit 10 sequentially displays the notation information stored in the notation information temporary storage unit 9.

The above operation will be described more specifically using an example.

Now, it is assumed that the operator needs a word that is a synonym or a synonym of the word "property" and has a notation length of "1".

On the other hand, it is assumed that the following six words are stored in the word dictionary as synonyms or synonyms belonging to the category “property”. That is, the word "Zaisan" is read, the notation length is "2", the notation is "property", and so on, "shisan", "2", "assets", "fudousan",
"3", a single number called "real estate", "Tomi", "1",
The words "wealth", "shizai", "2", "materials", "kazai", "2", and "household goods".

First, from the word input section 1 in which the operator is waiting for input,
Enter the reading "Zaisan" indicating the word "property" and the notation "property". The word input unit 1 temporarily stores the input reading “Zaisan” and the notation “property” in the input word temporary storage unit 2 and then activates the classification information extraction unit 4. The classification information extracting unit 4 extracts the classification information “property” of the word having the reading “Zaisan” and the property “property” stored in the input word temporary storage unit 2 from the word dictionary unit 3 and the classification information temporary storage unit 5 After storing in, the notation length input section 6
To wait for input.

Next, the operator inputs the notation length “1” from the notation length input unit 6. The notation length input unit 6 temporarily stores the input notation length “1” in the notation length temporary storage unit 7,
The word search unit 8 is activated. The word search unit 8 has a word dictionary for words having the classification information “property” stored in the classification information temporary storage unit 5 and the notation length “1” stored in the notation length temporary storage unit 7. The notation “temporary” of the searched word is retrieved by the unit 3 and the notation information temporary storage unit 9 is extracted.
Then, the word display unit 10 is activated. The word display unit 10 displays the notation “wealth” stored in the notation information temporary storage unit 9.

By the above operation, when the operator inputs the reading "Zaisan", the notation "property" and the notation length "1", the notation length is "1" among the six words belonging to the category "property"
You can get the word "wealth" which is.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the operator has the synonyms or synonyms of “property” in the word dictionary, “property”, “asset”, “real estate”, “wealth”, and “material”. , "Household goods", the word "wealth" having a desired notation length "1" can be found quickly.

In the present embodiment, the operator directly inputs the word designation information from the word input unit, but the present invention is not limited to this. The Kana-Kanji conversion activation or the homophone display request, which is performed in a word processor or the like, can be performed. It goes without saying that it may be an indirect input such as a synonym display request.

In addition, in the present embodiment, reading and notation are taken as an example of the word designation information input from the word input unit, but the present invention is not limited to this, and as information during the kana-kanji conversion that is often performed in word processors and the like. Needless to say, it may be information indicating the position of the word in the word dictionary.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION As described above, according to the present invention, for example, when writing a manuscript sheet, when creating a sentence or a phrase mainly with some restrictions on the writing length, , When a word that is a synonym or a synonym of a certain word and has a specific notation length is required, a word that satisfies the condition can be searched at high speed, and its practical effect is great.
