FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating how functions are used. In the figure, 1 is the main computer, 2 is an application program, 3 is a simple dictionary, 4 is a display control unit, 5 is a temporary kanji conversion control unit, 6 is a register, 7 is a floppy disk control unit, 8 is a buffer for temporary kanji conversion, 9 indicates a display device and a keyboard, and 10 and 11 indicate a floppy disk device.

The present invention extracts only frequently used kanji characters, such as JIS level 1, from a dictionary stored in a dictionary floppy, and creates a simple dictionary.
In FIG. 1, this is the simple dictionary 3, and its capacity is several kilobytes, which is sufficient for, for example, kana-kanji conversion during data processing. The contents of the simple dictionary 3 are stored on the system floppy disk as part of the monitor, and the contents are stored at the IPL (Initial
It is loaded into main memory together with the monitor during Program Loading. On the other hand, a dictionary floppy stores a dictionary of several hundred kilobytes that cannot be loaded into the main memory, and is set in the floppy disk device 10 or 11. Further, a system floppy holding a monitor, a data processing floppy, and the like are set in the floppy disk device 10 or 11. The register 6 stores whether the application program 2 has issued a dictionary definition command. Batsuhua 8 for Kana-Kanji conversion
is a buffer that reads the word or kanji for the reading from the dictionary and temporarily stores it when performing kana-kanji conversion. The display control unit 4 includes a display device and keys.
It controls key input from the board 9 and display on the display screen. Application program 2
is loaded into the main memory, and when the job is started, accesses the floppy disk devices 10 and 11, and if floppy media are set in the floppy disk devices 10 and 11, and the floppy medium is If the dictionary is a floppy disk medium, a dictionary definition command is issued to the kana-kanji conversion control section 5 to notify that the dictionary floppy disk is set in the floppy disk device 10 or 11. On the other hand, when the dictionary definition command is issued from the application program 2, the kana-kanji conversion control unit 5 stores it in the register 6. And while doing a job,
When the operator executes kana-kanji conversion, the kana-kanji conversion control unit 5 refers to the register 6 to check whether a dictionary definition command has been issued, and determines whether to use the dictionary set in the floppy disk device 10 or 11. , it is determined whether to use the simple dictionary 3 loaded into the main memory at the time of IPL. If a dictionary definition command has been issued, the dictionary set in the floppy disk device 10 or 11 is used; if a dictionary definition command has not been issued, the main dictionary is used at IPL.
By using the simple dictionary 3 loaded into memory, kana-kanji conversion is executed.

Next, the process flow of the system shown in FIG. 1 after the power is turned on will be explained with reference to FIG. 2.

Run ILP. At this time, the simple dictionary 3 is loaded into the main memory together with the monitor.

Thereafter, when the application program 2 starts the job, it performs the following processing.

The application program 2 accesses the floppy disk device 10 or 11. Perform the following processing.

Check whether the dictionary floppy disk is set.

If Yes, perform the process, and if No, perform the process.

The application program 2 is a kana-kanji conversion control unit 5.
Issue a dictionary definition command to . Perform the following processing.

A kanji input area is specified on the display screen of the display device and keyboard 9, and kana-kanji conversion by operator operation is started. Perform the following processing.

Refer to register 6 to check whether a dictionary definition command has been issued.

If Yes, perform the process, and if No, perform the process.

Perform Kana-Kanji conversion using the dictionary Flotsupi.

Execute Kana-Kanji conversion using Simple Dictionary 3.

The usage of the kana-kanji conversion function using the above process for the reading ``a'' will be explained with reference to FIG. 3a. When the operator inputs the reading ``a'' using the keyboard, the kana-kanji conversion control unit 5 checks where the kanji for the reading ``a'' is stored in the dictionary floppy set in the floppy disk device 10. Then, the sector in which the kanji is stored is specified, and control is passed to the floppy disk controller 7. The floppy disk control unit 7 reads the sector specified by the kana-kanji conversion control unit 5,
Control is returned to the kana-kanji conversion control section 5. As a result, the kana-kanji conversion control section 5 reads "A" from the sector read by the floppy disk control section 7.
All the kanji (``A, 阿, 雙, 唖, ...'') for ``A'' are stored in the kana-kanji conversion buffer 8, and the display control section 4 is instructed to display the first kanji ``A''. The display control unit 4 displays "A" at the cursor position. The operator performs conversion operations until the expected Kanji is obtained, and the expected Kanji for "A" is obtained. The above processing system is shown by the dotted line in FIG. 3a.

Next, we will explain how to use the kana-kanji conversion function by the above process when a data processing floppy disk and a system floppy disk or a program floppy disk are set in the floppy disk devices 10 and 11, and a dictionary floppy disk is not set.
This will be explained with reference to FIG. b. Operator key
When the reading ``a'' is input by operating the board, the kana-kanji conversion control unit 5 searches for the kanji for the reading ``a'' from the simple dictionary 3 loaded in the main memory since no dictionary definition has been made. And the kanji for “a” is “ya, 唖, frog,
. . .'' is stored in the kana-kanji conversion buffer 8, and the display control unit 4 is instructed to display the first kanji ``a''. Thereafter, the expected kanji for "a" is obtained in the same way as the process described above. The above processing system is shown by the dotted line in FIG. 3b.
