Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Field of Industrial Application This invention relates to a Chinese text creation device that can add ruby (furigana) to kanji characters in created sentences.

(B) Prior Art Conventionally, in a Chinese text creation device (hereinafter referred to as a Chinese word processor), the ruby character representing the reading of the Kanji character for ``Fune-Tsuri'' is placed above the Kanji character in lowercase English letters. Kanji fonts are defined as full-width characters, and English lowercase fonts are defined as half-width characters. Therefore, as shown in Figure 14, the number of ruby characters that can be written in the upper row of kanji is 2.
Limited to characters.

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention However, in the above-mentioned Chinese word processor, the display positions of the kanji and ruby are shifted, so the kanji and ruby are not displayed in correspondence, and therefore the ruby is displayed consecutively. There was a problem that it was difficult to confirm the reading of the kanji. In addition, in order to position a character directly below the ruby, it is necessary to adjust the spacing between the kanji characters and redo the sentence created.This work is not only time-consuming, but also makes the kanji appear irregular. It was bad.

This invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and an object of the invention is to obtain a Chinese text creation device that can attach ruby, which is the pronunciation of that kanji, to each kanji character, and furthermore, The object of the present invention is to provide a Chinese text creation device that can reduce the ruby font storage capacity of a ruby font storage means used in the device.

A ruby character string reading means for sequentially reading out the corresponding ruby fonts from among fonts of a specified size; 16 an output means for outputting the read ruby character string; 17 a text for storing the read ruby character string It is a means of storage.

(E) Effects According to the present invention, when the ruby display position is specified for a desired variant character of the Chinese text output to the output means, and the juxtaposition input is then performed to instruct the ruby display, A ruby font corresponding to the pronunciation of one kanji is read from the ruby font storage means and output so as to fit within the width of a full-width character in a predetermined kanji.

In addition, when the ruby font storage means is configured with a font code whose size is one-th of the number of characters that make up the double-on reading,
When an instruction to display ruby is given, the inputted readings are converted into ruby data consisting of the number of characters and character codes, and this ruby data is transferred to the ruby font storage means. Next, the ruby character string reading means specifies the size of the ruby font from the number of characters in the transferred ruby data, reads out the corresponding ruby from among the fonts of the specified size based on the character code of the ruby data, and outputs it to the output means. It works like this. Thereby, the ruby font storage means can be constructed with a small storage capacity.

FIG. 5 shows the contents of a june-on ruby code conversion table for converting june-on readings into ruby font codes according to claim I. The ruby fonts corresponding to the ruby font codes are created to have the same size as the kanji font, as shown in FIG. 6, and are created for all 410 types of kanji.

Next, the operation of the embodiment according to claim 1 will be explained according to the flowchart of FIG.

First, when the input guide "Voice initial" is displayed on the screen of the display device 23, input a character by operating the character input keys of the keyboard 20 (Steps 4-41). ) Holds the corresponding initial data (step 43) and displays the initial character on the display device 23 (
Step 44). When inputting the initials is completed, the input guide "Evenly divided" is displayed (step 45), and when characters are input by operating the character input key (steps 46 -> 47), it is determined whether the input was made in two parts.2 Definition key judgment is made (step 48). If two inputs are made, a double phonetic notation judgment is made by the first hook (step 49), and then, if there is a notation (step 50), the second aya is judged. Judgment is made on whether orthography is parallel (step 51), and if there is a notation (step 52), the relevant base data is held (step 53) and the evenly divided characters are displayed on the display device 23 (step 5).
4). Note that in step 48, the determination of 2 definition keys is N.
If it is o, a juxtaposition determination is made based on the corresponding equalization (step 55), and the process moves to step 51.

The above steps are the process before the ruby conversion process until the input juonyomi is displayed in reverse video.

Next, the features of the above embodiment will be explained. Step 42
If the pressed key is a ruby key (step 56), based on the double tone data stored in the double tone buffer 21, the double tone ruby code double tone table 25 shown in FIG.
and find the corresponding ruby code (Step 5)
7). It is checked whether parallel sound data exists in the search in step 57 (step 58). This judge is used to end the conversion. Then YES in step 58
If so, import the ruby font from the searched ruby code (step 59) and display the ruby (step 60).
.

Next, an embodiment according to claim 2 will be described.

Figure 8 shows the contents of the double-on ruby code conversion table that converts the double-on reading into ruby composition data, and shows the double-on reading 41
It has respective parallel sound data and ruby composition data for 0 types. For example, if the double reading is zhong+,
ADR-zhong is searched from the data of zhong+. Therefore, the double reading “zhong” has 5 characters,
And character 2 "goh" go. You can see that it is composed of "go n" and "go g".

Figures 9 and 10 are ruby font search table 2.
6, the ruby font search table in FIG. 9 shows the character code and font address for a character number of 1, and that in Figure 1O shows the character capital code and font address for a character number of 6. There is. n in both figures
indicates the number of characters stored in the ruby font. Also, although not shown, for the number of characters 2.3.4, a table with n = 26, number of characters 5
has n=16 tables.

These n are determined from the rules of Chinese juxtaposition.

In other words, the 410 types of Zen-Jon-yomi can be classified as follows according to the number of letters of the alphabet.

There are five types of juxtapositions that can be expressed with one letter: a, e, m, n, and o.

The double sounds expressed with two letters are ai, an, ao, and ba.

~81 types of yu, za, ze, z　i, zu.

The double sounds expressed with three letters are yung, baiban = zu.
174 types of i, zun, and zuo.

The double sounds expressed with four letters are b ang and b e ng.

The double sound expressed with 1221°5 letters of bian~zong, zuan is chang.

25 types of cheng = zhong, zhua i, zhuan. Conjunctions (yo, chuang,
There are three types: shuang and zhuang.

Therefore, the 1/1 font is 5: a, a, m, no.
character.

The 1/2 font, 173 font, and 1/4 font each have 25 letters of the alphabet excluding V and a total of 26 letters, including U.

! The 15 fonts are a, c, e, g, h, i, j, k
.

16 characters: 1, n, o, q, s, u, x, z.

1/6 font is 1. (, gJ, n, s, u, and z are required. This determines n.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained according to the flowchart shown in FIG. In this figure, the processes from step 40 to step 56, which are denoted by the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 7, are the same as the processes in FIG. 7 (the embodiment according to claim 1), and therefore the explanation thereof will be omitted.

In step 42, if the pressed key is a ruby key (step 56), the number of letters in the double-on reading and the address indicating the letter code are obtained from the double-on Ruhi code transformation table 25 shown in FIG. 8 (step 61). It is checked whether parallel sound data exists in the search in step 61 (step 62). This judge is used to end the conversion. Next, if YES in step 62, the number of letters and the letter code are obtained from the searched address. For example, if the input double reading is "zhong", the number of characters is 5,
The character codes "Z", "h", "0", "n", and "g" are taken in (step 63). Next, it is checked whether the data has been expanded to the display buffer for this number of characters (step 64). If the ruby font has been expanded, the ruby font is imported (read) using the ruby font search table 26 shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 (step 65). for example"
zhong”, Z”, “h”, “0” with character number 5
, "n", and "g". The imported ruby font is then displayed on the display device 23.
(step 66).

FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of operation of the embodiment according to claims 1 and 2. (2L) in FIG. 12 shows a state in which the ruby display position is designated by operating the cursor movement key. Figure 12(b) shows the character key “V”.
- "B"→"G"-0" is pressed to input the double phonetic reading of the character "Chugoku", and the input double phonetic notation is displayed in reverse video above the character °Chugoku". FIG. 12(c) shows the state of ruby displayed on the display device 23 after pressing the ruby key 202L. As you can see from the same figure, the kanji “
The ruby "zhong" is displayed in the full-width space above the kanji "kuni", and the ruby gu is displayed in the full-width space above the kanji "country".
o” are displayed respectively.

FIG. 12(d) is an enlarged view of the ruby display state according to claim 1, and FIG. 12(e) is an enlarged view of the ruby display state according to claim 2. As can be seen from both figures, claim 1

are processed as − rubies. On the other hand, in the ruby display according to claim 2, five ruby characters "Z", "h", "0", "n", "g" or three ruby characters "g", "U", “0° is processed independently.

Figures 13 (a) and (b) are diagrams showing the display pattern with the ruby font displayed in dots in Figure 12 (e), and Figure 13 (a) shows the width of the full-width character divided into 5 parts. Here is an example of displaying the ruby "zhong", and the 13th
In figure (b), the width of the full-width character is divided into three to create the ruby “guo”.
An example of displaying the following is shown.

In addition, RO to f of the ruby font search table of both embodiments
The amount of waste is calculated as follows.

- When the font data size of a character is k, when calculated from the classification of 410 types of oily junifications, using the number of letters that make up the junta and the number of alphabets used to express the junta, it is lX5X k +26Xl/2
X k +26xl/3x k +25X1/4X k
+ 16X 115X k +8X l/6X k
According to the embodiment of claim 2 in which the font is set to a character size of 37.45, the capacity of the ROM of the ruby character search table is 410xk.

Therefore, comparing the capacities of the two, (37,45X k/410X k) X100=9
．． It becomes 2%.

Therefore, the ruby font search table according to the embodiment according to claim 2 can be realized with a ROM capacity that is approximately -10% that of the ruby font search table according to the embodiment according to claim 1.

(G) Effects of the Invention According to the present invention, it is possible to write a ruby, which is the pronunciation of each kanji character, in correspondence with each kanji character without changing the arrangement of kanji strings in a text.

Furthermore, since the storage capacity of the storage device that stores ruby fonts can be significantly reduced, the cost of the Chinese text creation device can be reduced.
