Abstract

PURPOSE:To realize selection of a relevant word even in case the remembrance is impossible with said word to be inputted by taking a group of words having the same sort code as the designated word out of a word file as the candidates of input words. CONSTITUTION:In case a KANJI (Chinese character) word 'MISSETSU' is changed with selection of a more proper word out of its synonyms, the keys are pushed for input of a HIRAGANA (cursive form of Japanese syllabary) word 'MITSUSETSU' and then a relative word key is pushed. A control part detects two types of sort codes out of a word record column 2d of 'MISSETSU' (KANJI). Then the key words 'SESSHOKU' (KANJI) and 'UEN' (KANJI) corresponding to sort codes respectively are displayed with retrieval of a column 2e and a sort code table. When (b) corresponding to 'UEN' (KANJI) is pushed, for example, the head word identification number '09282' of a list structure is detected with retrieval of the sort code table. Then the columns 2g and 2a of word records are successively retrieved for display of the four head words of the list structure at a display part. Thus a proper word is selected.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to word processors. In particular, the present invention relates to a word processor that not only has the function of simply converting input words into Kanji characters to create and edit documents, but also can utilize word association information.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, this type of word processor has been designed to input the reading of a word to be input, and then press a conversion key to display a group of words with that reading on the display as input word candidates. It was common practice to repeat the process until the word to be input was found among the word candidates, and when the word was found, to input it by pressing a key (for example, a numeric key) corresponding to the word to be input.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In such conventional systems, the only way to extract words from a word file as input path candidates is to input the pronunciation of the word. Therefore, if the user cannot recall the appropriate word to input, there is a drawback that the user must search a Japanese dictionary or the like by relying on its synonyms.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to solve the problems of the prior art described above and to provide a word processor capable of extracting a word from a word file even when the pronunciation of the word to be input cannot be recalled.

Means for Solving the Problems According to the present invention, the present invention has a keyboard section, a display section for displaying operation results, and a control section, converts words inputted from the keyboard section into Kanji characters, and converts the words inputted from the keyboard section into kanji characters. a word file in which the control unit arranges word records having classification codes grouped according to the meanings of the words into a list structure corresponding to the classification codes; A classification code table file in which combinations of pointers indicating word records corresponding to each of the classification codes are arranged; and when a specific key or a specific sequence of keys on the keyboard section is pressed, a specified word is displayed. A word processor is provided, comprising a function of extracting a group of words having the same classification code as input word candidates from the word file and displaying them on the display section.

The word processor of the present invention has a word file in which word records having classification codes grouped according to their meanings are arranged in a list structure corresponding to the classification codes, and pointers representing word records corresponding to each classification code. A classification code table file in which combinations are arranged, and when a specific key or a specific key row on the keyboard section is pressed, a group of words with the same classification code as the specified word are input word candidates. The present invention is characterized by having a control section having a function of extracting words from a word file and displaying them on a display section.

The word processor of the present invention is different from the above-mentioned conventional word processor by using classification information based on meaning in addition to the conventional word search based on pronunciation. It has the originality of being able to be used as an auxiliary device for new ideas.

Example Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an example of a keyboard used in the word processor of the present invention. Although the "related word" key at the bottom left of the figure is a feature of the present invention, other function keys may be substituted.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the record format of the word record of the word processor of the present invention. In this embodiment, the word record includes word identification number 2 a s reading 2 b 1 word 2 cs number of classification codes the word has 2 d, classification code 2 e,
It consists of pointers 2f and 2g that indicate other word identification numbers. As will be described later, in this embodiment, a plurality of word records having the same classification code 2e form a list structure using the pointers 2f and 2g.

FIG. 3 shows an example of the record format of the classification code table of the present invention. In this embodiment, the records of the classification code table include classification code 3a, word 3b representing a group of words with the same classification code 3a, and classification code 3a.
It has a pointer 3C that represents the word identification number of the first word record in a list structure consisting of word records of word groups where a is equal to each other. Further, it is assumed that the representative words 3b corresponding to each of the classification codes 3a are all different.

Figure 4 shows the word record pointer 2f shown in Figure 2.
, 2g, word records having the same classification code 2e are connected, that is, all word records having the same classification code 2e form one list structure by the pointers 2f and 2g.

In this embodiment, the pointer 2f is a pointer that points to the word identification number 2a of the word record immediately before that word record in the above list structure, and the pointer 2g is a pointer that points to the word identification number 2a of the word record immediately before that word record in the above list structure. This is a pointer that indicates the word identification number 2a of the word record. Furthermore, rNULLJ in the 2f column indicates that the word record is the first word record in the above list structure, and rNULLJ in the 2g column indicates that the word record is the last word record in the list structure. . In this embodiment, the above list structure and the relationship between the pointers 2f and 2g are explained using "Yen" as a representative word.

5 to 9 show examples of displays on the display unit in this embodiment, and the operation of the word processor of the present invention will be explained.

An example in which the text displayed in FIG. 5 is edited using the word processor of the present invention will be described.

Now, let us change the word "close" by selecting a more appropriate word from synonyms. To display related words for the word "close", first type "misetsu", and when "close" is displayed at the bottom of the display as shown in Figure 5 as a candidate word with that pronunciation, , press the "related word" key or a special key to display the related word.

By pressing a key unique to the word processor of the present invention, the control unit searches for related words using the list structure, which is the main feature of the present invention. That is, first, the control unit detects that there are two types of classification codes from the 2d column of the word record of "close" shown in FIG. Next, the control unit searches the classification code table shown in column 2e and FIG. Displayed at the top and waits for the next keystroke.

For example, if you press the key ``b'' that corresponds to ``related,'' the control unit will press 6 in column 3a of the classification code table shown in Figure 3.
Search the 3C column corresponding to 515 and enter the classification code "651".
The first word identification number r0 of the list structure of words with “5”
Find 9282 J, search in order the 2g column and 2a column of the word record shown in Figure 2, and place, for example, the first four words of this list structure in a specific position on the display section as shown in Figure 7. to be displayed.

If there is no suitable word among the displayed four words, the next four words in the same list structure are displayed by further pressing the conversion key. The control unit displays the next four words as long as there are word records in the list structure, but in this embodiment, there are only two words left in the list structure, so the control unit displays the following four words as shown in FIG. The two words and a message indicating the end of the list are displayed.

Here, for example, if the displayed word "close contact" is more appropriate, the user moves the cursor to the character "close" in "close contact" in the sentence and presses the key "2" corresponding to "close contact." The control unit displays the word "close contact" corresponding to "2" at the cursor position in the sentence. Furthermore, the context of the sentence can be changed by deleting characters in the sentence, for example,
Arrange as shown.

Furthermore, the input word "close contact" is 2f.

By changing the pointer so that it is at the beginning of the list structure created in column 2g, the next time you search for the same related word, you can display it at the beginning of the candidates. Therefore, it is also possible to quickly search for frequently used words.

Also, 2 indicates the previous word record in the list structure.
Although the f column is not essential to the present invention, it is preferable to have one because without the 2f column, the operation of changing the pointer becomes complicated.

In addition, a certain relationship is created between the classification code number of a certain word group and the classification code number of its antonym group, such as inverting only the lowest pixel, and the antonym is displayed as an input word candidate according to the specification. It is also possible to display the

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION As described above, when a specific key or a specific sequence of keys on a keyboard section is pressed, a group of words having the same classification code as the specified word are selected as input word candidates. This has the effect of helping you accurately select words that are appropriate for the context.
