Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the efficiency of display processing and document processing by securing an area necessary for displaying a character string having the most characters at the time of selecting and displaying homonym candidates. CONSTITUTION:When a 'KANKI' (Chinese character) conversion instruction is applied, a character conversion control part 3 converts an already stored 'KANA' (Japanese syllabary) character string into a 'KANJI'/'KANA' mixed character string and display the converted character string on a display part 6. When a user specifies a character string to be reconverted, the control part 3 sends the maximum word length value of a homonym to a display control part 4, secures a homonym display area for displaying homophones and then displays the homonym candidates on the homonym display area.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a document processing device, and particularly to a document processing device that displays homonyms.

[Conventional technology]

Conventional document processing devices convert input kana character strings into kanji/kana mixed character strings using the kana/kanji conversion method, display the converted characters in the character display area of the display, and also specify specifications in the displayed kanji/kana mixed character strings. The character string to be converted is reconverted into a homophone character string corresponding to the character string and displayed in the character display area.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

By the way, in the conventional document processing device described above, when homophone candidates corresponding to a character string to be converted are sequentially selected and displayed in the character display area, the number of homophone candidates corresponding to the character string to be converted is changed depending on the number of characters of the displayed homophone candidates. It is necessary to rewrite the following character string or the entire line that includes the conversion target character string, which takes time to move and redisplay, and this requires document creation, document editing, etc. The disadvantage is that it takes time to process documents.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a document processing device that can eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks and improve display processing and document processing efficiency.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention provides a document having a display means for displaying a character string converted into kana-kanji in a display area, and a conversion means for re-converting a specified conversion target character string in the displayed character string into a corresponding homophone. In the processing device, when displaying a homophone candidate corresponding to a character string to be converted in the display area, an area necessary to display a character string with the largest number of characters among the homophone candidates is allocated in the display area. It is designed to ensure that

[Effect]

According to the document processing device of the present invention, when homophone candidates corresponding to a character string to be converted are sequentially selected and displayed in the display area, the homophone candidates are displayed within the reserved display area, and the character string to be converted is The character strings following the column are not moved or redisplayed. Then, when it is determined that the character string is a homophone candidate, the character string following the conversion target character string is moved to its normal position and redisplayed.

Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to minimize the movement process and redisplay process of a character string that has already been converted into kana-kanji characters and which follows a character string to be converted.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of a document processing device according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a document processing device according to the present invention. In the same figure, the input unit 1 has a keyboard equipped with various character keys such as hiragana characters, katakana characters, alphanumeric characters, etc., and a kanji conversion key, and is used to manually enter reading character strings, etc. .

When the kanji conversion key is pressed, the input control unit 2 sends the input kana character string to the character conversion control unit 3 and display control unit 4.

The character conversion control unit 3 converts the character string from the input control unit 2 into a corresponding kanji-kana-mixed character string using the kana-kanji conversion dictionary 5, which also includes a user dictionary, and also converts the character string from the converted kanji-kana-mixed character string. The character string is sent to the display control section 4. At this time, if the specified kanji conversion candidate character string (hereinafter referred to as the conversion target character string) is a character string containing kanji and kana that has been converted into kana-kanji, the character string with the largest number of characters among the homophone candidates (i.e., (maximum word length) is also sent.

The display control section 4 includes the human power control section 2 and the character conversion control section 3.
The character string sent from is displayed on the display section 6. Also,
If the content to be displayed is a character string to be converted, a homophone display area corresponding to the maximum word length number of characters sent from the character conversion control unit 3 is secured to control the display of homophone candidates.

The display unit 6 is composed of, for example, a display, and displays information such as edited documents, input character strings with readings, homophone candidates, and the like.

Here, the largest number of characters among the homophone candidates (maximum word length) corresponds to the number of characters in the pronunciation of the homophone corresponding to the character string to be converted, or the pronunciation registered in advance in the user dictionary, etc. It is the number of characters with a large value among the number of characters in a string containing kanji. For example, if the string to be converted is "
In the case of conversion J, the number of characters in the corresponding homophone reading is “
If the number of characters in the kanji-containing character string is 4 characters, and if the user dictionary has a character string of ``conversion target string j'' registered for ``henkan'', the number of characters in the character string containing kanji is ``conversion target character Since the word length is 7 characters, the maximum word length is 7 characters.

Next, the homophone display processing operation of the document processing device will be explained.

Assume that you are inputting the document ``Transporting a box by car.''

As shown in Figure 2, the user operates the keyboard of input unit 1 to input the kana character string ``Kuruma hako wo hakobu,'' and then attempts to obtain the character string ``Carry a box by car.'' Press the Kanji conversion key.

At this time, the input control section 2 converts the kana characters sequentially input by the user into the character conversion control section 3 and the display control section 4.
At the same time, when the kanji conversion key is pressed, a kanji conversion command is sent to the character conversion control section 3.

The display control unit 4 causes the display unit 6 to display the manually input characters in sequence.

On the other hand, the character conversion control unit 3 holds the sequentially input characters, and when a kanji conversion command is given, it holds the kana character string until the command is given (in this example,
"Kuruma hako o hakobu"), Kana-Kanji conversion dictionary 5
is used to convert it into a corresponding character string containing kanji and kana, and sends it to the display control section 4.

At this point, the character conversion control unit 3 says,
Assume that the character string ``carry the box until it comes'' is converted into a character string containing the kanji characters ``carry the box until it comes'' as shown in FIG. 3(a). At this time, the display section 6 will display "J carrying the box until it comes."

Then, the user specifies a character string to be reconverted from among the character strings that have been converted into kana and kanji, and presses a conversion key or a reconversion key to request reconversion. Assume that the character string "until" is specified as the character string to be converted.

Then, the character conversion control unit 3 is given a re-conversion command to reconvert the character string “until you come” from the human control unit 2, so the character conversion control unit 3 converts the character string “until you come”. The maximum word length number of homophones of "Kuruma-te", "4", and the homophone corresponding to "Kuruma-te", for example, "by car" are sent to the display control unit 4. Here, it is assumed that a character string containing kanji and kana is not registered in the user dictionary corresponding to the character string with the pronunciation of "Kuruma".

The display control unit 4 secures a homophone display area for displaying character bones of the maximum input word length (four characters in this example), and then displays the next homophone candidate in the homophone display area. (in this example, "by car"). Note that the display control section 4
When displaying the homophone ``by car'', the number of candidate characters for this homophone is ``2'', so as shown in Figure 3(b), the maximum number of characters is displayed after the converted homophone. Space for the number of characters that is the difference between the number of word lengths and the number of characters of the actually converted homophone (in this case, 2 characters (4-2=2) (7) spaces)
Enter and display. In this way, when displaying homophone candidates, the homophone display area is reserved in advance to display the maximum number of word lengths among the homophone candidates. Even if the word is selected, it will always be displayed within the reserved homophone display area.

When the desired notation is displayed on the display unit 6, the user performs a confirmation request operation to request confirmation of the character string.

Here, the confirmation request operation refers to operations such as pressing the confirmation key, moving the cursor to the next clause, selecting the next clause with the mouse, and switching modes such as katakana input mode and hiragana manual mode.

When such a confirmation request operation is performed, the display control unit 4 recognizes the confirmation request command from the input control unit 2, removes the space area (extra space for two characters in this example), and displays the screen shown in FIG. Display the string in the correct position as shown in

In addition, in the above embodiment, when securing the homophone display area,
Although spaces are used, the present invention is not limited to this, and tabs, symbols, etc. may also be used.

As explained above, according to this embodiment, when homophone candidates corresponding to a character string to be converted are sequentially selected and displayed in the display area, the character string with the largest number of characters among the homophone candidates is displayed. Since a homophone display area is secured for the conversion and homophone candidates are displayed in that display area, it is possible to move and redisplay the character string following the conversion target character string while selecting the homophone candidate. Since no processing is required, display processing becomes faster.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, when homophone candidates corresponding to a character string to be converted are sequentially selected and displayed in the display area, the character string with the largest number of characters among the homophone candidates is displayed. Since a display area for the conversion target character string is secured and homophone candidates are displayed in that display area, 1. Since there is no need to move and re-display the character string following the conversion target character string, there is an advantage that the display process can be performed quickly.

Furthermore, since display processing can be performed quickly, document processing efficiency can be improved.
