Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention is applied to an interactive system in which a processing request from a user is input as a command, and the request contents of the command are immediately executed. In particular, it relates to command conversion means for conversational systems.

〔overview〕

The present invention provides a dummy dictionary file in which the data of a specified dictionary file is copied in an interactive database device in which the contents of a command request from a user are immediately executed. By searching the dictionary file, you can type the same command and its parameters that are used repeatedly only once.

[Conventional technology]

Traditionally, when using a conversational system, all parameters were specified each time.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Conventional conversational systems have the disadvantage that even when using the same command repeatedly, the user must type the command and its parameters each time. Also,
This has the disadvantage that keystroke errors may occur if the parameters are long. Furthermore, when executing a command, the user must understand exactly how to use the command (options) and use it, so there is a drawback that it takes time before the user can use the command.

The present invention has the following drawbacks: When using an interactive system, when using the same command repeatedly, the user must type the command and its parameters each time.
The disadvantage of long parameters is that typing errors may occur, and when executing a command, the user must understand exactly how to use the command (options). This method eliminates the drawback that it takes a long time to convert commands, and provides an interactive database device that can use similar commands that exist in different systems with unified specifications by using this command conversion method. purpose.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention provides a conversation system that includes a plurality of dictionary files that store keywords and converted character strings corresponding to the keywords in pairs, and a command activation means that executes the converted character strings corresponding to the given keywords as commands. In the type database device, a dummy dictionary file that stores a given keyword and a converted character string corresponding to this keyword, a dictionary registration means that copies data of the specified dictionary file to the dummy dictionary file, and A dictionary reference means for searching a converted character string corresponding to a keyword from the dummy dictionary file and providing it to the command activation means, and a dictionary storage means for copying data of the dummy dictionary file to a specified dictionary file. It is characterized by

[Effect]

The command string and keyword manually entered by the user are received from the human-powered device, and are registered in a dictionary file in association with the command string and keyword.

A command activation means receives a keyword input from a user from a human-powered device and executes a command related to the keyword. It is called by the command activation means, receives a keyword, and searches a dictionary file for a command string related to the keyword. Also, the data in the dummy dictionary file is copied to the specified dictionary file and the dictionary file is saved.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of this embodiment. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, a human power device 1 and
Dictionary registration means 2 receives keywords, converted character strings, and dictionary file names from the dummy dictionary file 6, the dictionary file 7, and the input device 1, and registers them in the dummy dictionary file 6; In the case of execution, the receiver receives the instruction, calls the dictionary reference means 4, receives the converted character string related to the keyword input from the human-powered device 1, and executes it as a command. A dictionary reference means 4 receives a keyword from the activation means 3, searches the dummy dictionary file 6 for a converted character string related to the keyword, and returns it to the command activation means 3, and receives a stored dictionary file name from the human-powered device 1. , and a dictionary storage means 5 for writing data of the dummy dictionary file 6 being used into a designated dictionary file 7. That is, this embodiment includes a plurality of dictionary files 7 that store keywords and converted character strings corresponding to the keywords in pairs, and a command activation means 3 that executes the converted character strings corresponding to the given keywords as commands. , a dummy dictionary file 6 that stores a given keyword and a converted character string corresponding to this keyword, a dictionary registration means 2 that copies data of the designated dictionary file to the dummy dictionary file 6, and a given keyword. Dictionary reference means 4 searches for a converted character string corresponding to from the dummy dictionary file 6 and provides it to the command activation means 3
and a dictionary storage means 5 for copying data of the dummy dictionary file 6 to a designated dictionary file 7.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the operation of the dictionary registration means 2. The operation of the dictionary registration means 2 will be explained with reference to FIG.

The dictionary registration means 2 receives parameters from the input device 1 (step S1), checks whether a dummy dictionary file 6 already exists or not (step S2), and creates a dummy dictionary file 6 if it does not exist. (Step S3
). It is checked whether the user's instruction is to read a dictionary file (step S4), and if it is a dictionary file read instruction, it is checked whether the dictionary file 7 specified by the user exists (step S35). If it exists, the specified dictionary file 7 is read out (step S6), and the read data is further copied to the dummy dictionary file 6 (step S8). If the dictionary file 7 specified in step S5 does not exist, error handling is performed (step S7) and the process is terminated. If there is no instruction to read the dictionary file in step S4, check whether the specified key data exists in the dummy dictionary file 6 (step S9), and if not, register the keyword and converted character string in the dummy dictionary file 6 (step S9). 510), the process ends. Further, if there is a converted character string in the dummy dictionary file 6 that is paired with the keyword specified by the user, the converted character string is replaced with the inputted converted character string (step 311), and the process ends.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the command activation means 3. The operation of the command activation means 3 will be explained with reference to FIG. The command activation means 3 receives the parameters (step 321), and activates the dictionary reference means 4 (step 522). A check is made to see if there is an error in waiting for the completion of the operation (step 524), and if there is, the process is terminated. If there is no error, it is checked whether the instruction is to execute the command immediately after conversion (step 524), and if it is to be executed immediately, the instructed command is executed (step 526), and the process ends. If the command is not to be executed immediately after conversion, the converted character string is displayed (step 525), and the process ends.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the dictionary reference means 4. The operation of the dictionary reference means 4 will be explained with reference to FIG. The dictionary reference means 4 receives the keyword (step 531) and reads the data of the dummy dictionary file 6 (step 532). Next, check whether data exists in the dummy dictionary file 6 (step 333).
, if it does not exist, control is returned to the command activation means 3 and the process ends. If the data exists in step S33, check whether the read keyword and the specified keyword are equal or not (step 334).
, if they are not equal, the processing from step 332 is repeated again until the data in the dummy dictionary file 6 no longer exists. If they are equal, the data is handed over to the command activation means 3 (step 535), and control is returned to end the process.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the operation of the dictionary storage means 5. The operation of the dictionary storage means 5 will be explained with reference to FIG. The dictionary storage means 5 receives the parameters (step 541), copies the data of the dummy dictionary file 6 to the designated dictionary file 7, and stores the data (step 542), and ends the process.

FIG. 6 is an element configuration diagram showing the configuration of elements stored in the dictionary file 7. As shown in FIG. This dictionary file 7 stores keywords and command character strings corresponding to the keywords in pairs.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, when using an interactive system, the user has to type the command and its parameters each time when using the same command repeatedly, and the parameters are long. The drawback is that keystroke errors may occur when executing a command, and the user must understand exactly how to use the command (options) before being able to use it. It has the effect of eliminating the drawback that it takes time. Another advantage is that similar commands that exist in different systems can be used with unified specifications.
