Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a character string conversion device applicable to a word processor or the like that can interactively create a document while displaying an input character string on a display means.

(B) Prior Art As a kana-kanji conversion method in the current word processor, as described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 56-11335, the first method is to use kana characters or the like according to the pronunciation by the input means.
When inputting a character string and converting such a first character string into a second character string consisting of corresponding Chinese characters, etc., when there are a plurality of the above-mentioned second character strings, the above-mentioned second character string is sequentially arranged in the order of frequency of use. The one that is displayed is generally used.

(C) Problems to be solved by the invention. However, for example, a number such as "23" has four display forms of "23", "23", "23" and "2nd pick" as the second character string. It only exists, and the number originally used the Arabic number such as "23" in the text of the chemical field, and "23", "23" or "2nd pick" in the document of the legal field.
The form is completely different depending on the field of use, such as the use of Chinese numerals.

Therefore, it is preferable not to determine the display order according to the frequency of use as in the prior art, but to display according to a predetermined order and selectively limit the display form.

When "1", "101", and the end information is represented by "000", the above-mentioned 5 information is the first in any order as shown in FIG.
Stored in fifth areas (10) to (14).

Reference numeral (15) is a display character string storage unit, and the storage unit has an area for storing at least the same number of second character strings as the number of display modes described above. As shown in, the first to fourth regions (16) to (19) are provided.

(20) is a display means, and the display means has a display device composed of, for example, a CRT.

Reference numeral (21) is a document storage unit, and the storage unit is composed of a permanent holding means such as a floppy disk.

Next, to describe the operation of the apparatus of the present embodiment, the following two characteristic features of the operation of the apparatus of the present embodiment are as follows.

(I) A kana character string corresponding to the reading of numbers, an alphabetic character string, or an Arabic numeral string representing the numeral itself is input as the first character string by the input means (3), and subsequently, when the conversion key is input, it is displayed. In the means (20), the second character string corresponding to the first character string is sequentially displayed in the display order setting unit (9) according to the storage order of the display mode information, and the second character string having different display modes is displayed. (Ii) The contents of the display order setting unit (9) can be changed. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of (i).

Now, via the input means (3), for example, any one of "nijusan", "nijusan", "nijyuusan" or "23" is input as the first character string corresponding to the number "23", and the first character string is input. The display form information is stored in the one character string storage unit (5) and in the display order setting unit (9) as shown in FIG. 2, and further, in the first and second counter units (6) and (7). Contents C1 and C2 shall be cleared.

In such a state, the input means (3) in steps S1 and S2
It is determined that the change key has been input, and the process proceeds to step S3.

In step S3, the second character string corresponding to the first character string stored in the first character string storage unit (5) is stored in the display character string storage unit (15).

Specifically, it is performed based on the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, in step S301, the address Ad serving as the position information of each area of the display order setting unit (9) and the display character string storage unit (15) is set to "1".

Then, in step S302, the information "001" stored in the first area (10) of the display order setting unit (9) corresponding to the address Ad is read out, and in step S303, whether such information is end information or not. Although it is determined, since it is not the end information, the process proceeds to step S304.

In step S304, the second character string having the display form represented by the information read in step S302 and corresponding to the first character string is created by the dictionary unit (8) and the display character string storage unit (1
Store in the area corresponding to the address Ad of 5). That is, the second character string "23" is stored in the first area (10) of the display character string storage unit (15).

Next, in step S305, the address Ad is incremented by "1" and the process returns to step S302.

Second to fourth areas (11) of the display order setting unit (9)
Since the information stored in (13) is not end information, S302
The loop composed of S305 to S305 is cycled three times, and the second to fourth areas (17) to (19) of the display character string storage section (15) are displayed in the second to fourth areas of the display order setting section (9). The second character string of the display form corresponding to the display form information stored in 11) to (13) is sequentially stored (see FIG. 3).

The address Ad becomes "5" at the time when the three circulation processes are completed, and the display order setting unit (9) is set in step S302.
The information stored in the fifth area (14) is read out. However, since such information is the end information “000”, the process proceeds from step S303 to step S4.

In the S4 step, the content C1 of the first counter (6) is set to "1".
Just count up.

In the subsequent S5 step, one of the second character strings stored in the display character string storage section (15) is displayed by the display means (20).
That is, using the value C1 of the second counter (6) as an address, the second character string stored in the corresponding area of the display character string storage section (15) is read out and displayed by the display means (20). In particular,
Since C1 is now "1", the second character string "23" stored in the first area (16) of the display character string storage unit (15) is displayed by the display means (2
Display with 0).

After that, the key input from the input means (3) is waited again in step S6, and if there is a key input, the process proceeds to step S7.

In the S7 step, the key type input in the S6 step is determined, and if a key other than the change key is determined, the processing is S8, S9
The steps are processed sequentially and the process ends.

In step S8, the second character string currently displayed on the display means (20) is selected and stored in the document storage unit (21). Next, in step S9, the first and second counter units (6) and (7) are cleared to "0".

If the change key is input in step S7, the process proceeds to step S10.

In such S10 step, the first and second counter units (6)
The contents C1 and C2 of (7) are compared, and if the condition "C1 = C2" is not satisfied, the process returns to step S4, and if the condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S11.

In step S11, the content C1 of the first counter (6) is set to "0", and the process returns to step S4.

Therefore, the contents of the first and second counter units (6) and (7) are now
C1 and C2 are "1" and "4", respectively, and the second character string "23" stored in the first area (16) of the display character string storage section (15) in the display means (20) is shown in FIG. It is assumed that the display is as shown in (a).

At this time, when the conversion key is input in step S6, the process sequentially processes steps S7, S10, S4, and S5, and the content C1 of the first counter (6) becomes "2" and the display means (20). As shown in FIG. 6 (b), the second character string "23" stored in the second area (17) of the display character string storage unit (15) is replaced with the second character string "23". Is displayed.

After that, when the conversion key is input twice in succession, S6,
The loop consisting of steps S7, S10, S4, S5 is processed twice consecutively, and the content C1 of the first counter (6) is changed to "3", "4" and displayed on the display means (20). The two character strings are also changed as shown in FIGS. 6 (c) and 6 (d).

Further, when the conversion key is input in step S6, the processing is sequentially processed in steps S7, S10, S11S4, and S5, so that the content C1 of the first counter (6) becomes "1" again, and the display means In (20), "23" is displayed as the second character string as shown in FIG. 6 (a).

Further, as shown in FIG. 7 (a), the display order setting unit (9)
It is assumed that the display form information is stored in the first to fifth areas (10) to (14) in the order different from that in FIG.

At this time, since the third area (12) of the display order setting unit (9) stores "000" information indicating the end information,
By sequentially processing the steps S1, S2, and S3, as shown in FIG. 7 (b), the first and second display character string storage units (15)
Only the areas (16) and (17) store the second character strings, "2nd visit" and "23", respectively, and the content C2 of the second counter (7) becomes "2".

After that, when the conversion key is continuously input in the step S6, the display means (20) alternately displays "2nd pick" and "23rd".

Next, rewriting of the display order setting unit (9) will be described. FIG. 8 is a flow chart showing such an operation.

First, when an instruction is input from the input means (3) to change the contents of the display order setting unit (9), the contents C1 of the first counter (6) is set to "1" in step S51. Then
In step S52, the first to fifth display order setting units (9)
The contents of the areas (10) to (14) are all set to "000", and the input means (3) is awaited in step S53.

If there is an input from the input means (3) in step S53, whether the input is display form information, end of processing, or other information in steps S54 and S53. If it is the display form information, the steps S56 to S58 are sequentially processed, if it is the end instruction, the step S59 is processed, and if it is other information, the process returns to the step S53.

In step S56, the display form information input in step S53 is stored in the area of the display order setting unit (9) corresponding to the content C1 of the first counter (6). That is, when C1 is "1", the input information is stored in the first area (10), and when C1 is "2", "3", and "4", the input information is stored in the second to fourth areas (11) to (13), respectively. To store.

In the subsequent S57 step, the content C1 of the first counter (6) is incremented by "1", and in S58 step, it is determined whether or not the condition "C1>4" is satisfied, and if the above condition is satisfied, The process proceeds to step S59, and if not satisfied, the process returns to step S53.

The determination in S58 is made by the display order setting unit (9).
Is a process for always storing the end information "000" in the last area (the fifth area (14) in this embodiment).

Further, in step S59, the content of the first counter (6) is cleared to "0", and the process is ended.

Therefore, for example, “010”, “0
When the display form information and the end instruction information "01" and "011" are input, the loop consisting of steps S53, S54, S56, S57, and S58 is cyclically processed three times, and the first in the display order setting unit (9).
~ "010", "001", "01" in the third area (10) ~ (12) respectively
The display form information "1" is stored, and then S53, S55,
The S59 step is sequentially processed, and the process ends.

(G) Effect of the Invention According to the present invention, it is possible to display a plurality of second character strings having different display forms corresponding to the first character string according to a predetermined order, and display the display order. It can be changed arbitrarily.
