Abstract

PURPOSE:To input a character string converted to KANJI (Chinese character) to a using means without destroying already converted display contents by setting the display field of a KANA (Japanese syllabary) character string to the lowest row position at the time of setting the using means to the screen mode. CONSTITUTION:When the using means (application program 403) is set to the screen mode, a KANA-KANJI converting means (Japanese-language processing program 401) decides this setting of the screen mode by the terminal mode of a control means (kernel 402). When the input of a KANA character string is requested, the display field is set to the lowest row position on the display screen, and the input KANA character string is displayed in this lowest row position. Thus, the new KANA character string is inputted without destroying the already converted KANJI string, and the character string converted to KANJI is obtained for the using means.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a Japanese input method used in computers and the like.

[Prior Art] When document processing functions such as a spreadsheet program and document editing are incorporated into a calculation program, a Japanese language processing program is generally incorporated as a first step.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the concept of a conventional Japanese input method using a total of ¥ [, Japanese language processing program 401.
Kernel 402. It is composed of an application program 403.

The Japanese processing program 401 is a program as a kana-kanji conversion means that converts a kana character string input from a keyboard (not shown) into a character string containing kanji through the kernel 402, and the converted character string is transferred to an application program 403, such as a spreadsheet program or a fortune-telling editing program, where it is used as appropriate.

The kernel 402 has the following functions: ■ Transfers a kana character string input from a keyboard (not shown) to the Japanese language processing program 401; ■ Displays the input kana character string and the converted character string mixed with kanji on an eight-screen CRT. 1. Set a display field in the display means for the input kana character string, and display the input kana characters in this display field. The display field of kana characters set on the display screen of the display means by this control means is set as shown in FIG. 3 or 4. In other words, as shown in Figure 3, the display field for recognizing the input kana character string is the next digit position of the converted character string containing kanji, or the bottom line position of the display screen as shown in Figure 4. , and this display field is reduced by the cursor symbol 404.

Here, the application program 403 may be configured to set the display field as shown in FIG. 3 and execute a processing process created in advance. That is, the display field for the kana character string may be set at the same position as the display field for the processed literary string, and the operator may be asked to confirm the kana character string in this display field. This is called a screen mode, and information about this screen mode is read as a variable of the terminal mode 405 in the kernel 402, thereby setting the display field as shown in FIG.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, when the application program 403 is in screen mode, when modifying a character string that has already been converted, the newly inputted kana character string is displayed as a city in the same position as the already converted character string. There is a problem in that the displayed content is destroyed and requires re-input and re-display processing.

That is, as shown in FIG. 5(a), when the content "Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo Prefecture" is displayed on the display screen 406 and Q is pressed, the character position of "Prefecture" is changed to correct "Prefecture" to "To". If you enter the pronunciation of ``Miyako'' from ``Miyako'', Figure 5 (
As in b), the left half of ``1000'' becomes [koJ, which becomes the kanji ``Miyako''.

Therefore, there is a problem in that the kanji for "1000" must be displayed again manually.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and provides a Japanese input method that allows character strings converted into Kanji to be input into a usage means without destroying the display content that has already been converted. The purpose is to

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention provides a kana-kanji conversion means (Japanese processing program 4
01), the usage means (application program 40
From 3), it is determined whether or not the control means (kernel 402) is instructed to set the display field to the next digit position of the converted character string containing kanji characters, and if so, it is determined whether or not the control means (kernel 402) is instructed to set the display field to the next digit position of the character string containing kanji characters after conversion. In response to a column input request, the display field is set at the bottom row position of the display screen, and the kana character string input in the display field is displayed.

(Operation) When the usage means (application program 403) is in screen mode, the kana-kanji conversion means (Japanese processing program 401) determines whether it is in screen mode based on the terminal mode of the control means (kernel 402). do. When a kana character string input request is made, the display field is set at the bottom line position of the display screen, and the input kana character string is displayed at this lowest position.

On the other hand, if the screen mode is not set, the kana character string input in the display field set at the next digit position of the converted character string containing kanji is displayed.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the concept of the Japanese input method according to the present invention, and the same parts as in FIG. 2 are represented by the same symbols.

In the figure, the difference from the conventional method is that when requesting the input of a kana character string, information on the terminal mode 405 of the kernel 402 is read into the Japanese processing program 401, and the screen mode is set as a variable for the terminal mode 405. The display field is set at the bottom row of the display screen as shown in FIG.

In the above configuration, the application program 40
3 sets whether or not it is the screen mode as a variable of the terminal mode 405 of the kernel 402 at the start of execution. When the Japanese language processing program 401 receives a request for input of a kana character string from the user through key operations, etc., it reads information on the terminal mode 405 and checks whether the screen mode is set as a variable before starting to accept the kana character string. Determine whether or not. If the screen mode has been set, the display field is set to the bottom row position of the display screen as shown in FIG. When the input of the kana character string in this display field is completed, the display field is returned to its original position, that is, to the next digit position of the converted character string containing kanji as shown in FIG. However, if the screen mode is not set, the display field is not moved to the bottom row position, but the kana character string is displayed at the position shown in FIG.

According to this embodiment, when the application program 403 is in the screen mode, in order to move the display field that displays the kana character string to the bottom line position of the display screen, the display content that has already been converted is moved. Input a kana character string without destroying it, and write the character string mixed with kanji corresponding to the kana character string into the application program 4.
03.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, in the present invention, when the usage method is screen mode, the display field of the kana character string is set to the bottom line position, so it is possible to destroy the kanji character string that has already been converted. It is possible to input a new kana character string without having to use it, and provide the user with the character string after kanji conversion.
