Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the KANJI (Chinese character) converting efficiency by providing a phrase data input means, an example data input means, a phrase data retrieving means which retrieves the necessary data out of the phrase data, and an example data retrieving means which retrieves the necessary data out of the example data. CONSTITUTION:A word processor part 1 inputs the character strings and displays the KANJI conversion candidates. A character string input means 2 acquires the character strings inputted via the part 1 and the converted KANJI data and stores them in a character string storage part 8. A phase data input means 3 takes the character strings and the KANJI data out of the part 8 and retrieves a phrase using a relevant KANJI out of a phrase data part 9 via a phrase data retrieving part 6 to store the retrieved phrase into data storage part 11. Then an example data input means 4 takes the character strings and the KANJI data out of the part 8, and an example data retrieving means 7 retrieves an example using the relevant KANJI out of an example data part 10 and stores it in the part 11. A display means 5 takes the data out of the part 11 and displays them on a screen. Thus the KANJI converting efficiency is improved.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a word processor, and in particular to a display of phrases and usage examples I! Concerning word processors with advanced capabilities.

[Conventional technology]

Conventional word processors convert kana to kanji,
When the user pressed the conversion key, a group of candidate kanji characters were displayed on the screen, and the user could select a kanji character to convert.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

When converting kana etc. into kanji, the conventional word processors mentioned above line up a group of candidate kanji and select from among them. If you don't know if a word is correct, you have to look it up in a dictionary, look up the meaning, and pick out the appropriate kanji. Also, if you want to know an idiom using that kanji, you have to go to the trouble of looking up a dictionary. As described above, conventional word processors do not have a means of obtaining auxiliary information when converting kanji, so they have the disadvantage of being time-consuming if you do not know which kanji to use.

[Means to solve the problem]

The word processor of the present invention includes an idiom data section that stores idioms, an example data section that stores usage examples of kanji, a means for inputting character strings to be searched, an idiom data acquisition means for acquiring idiom data, and an example data section. an example data acquisition means for obtaining the idiom data section, an idiom data search means for searching the necessary data from the idiom data section, an example data search means for searching the necessary data from the example data section, and displaying the obtained information. and the means to do so.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 2 to 4 are flowcharts of each part.

In FIG. 1, the present embodiment is a word processor having a word processor part 1 having functions equivalent to those of the conventional one, character string obtaining means 2 for obtaining input character strings, and idiom data obtaining means 3 for obtaining idiom data. , example data acquisition means 4 for obtaining example data, display means 5 for displaying the obtained data on the screen, phrase data search means 6 for searching necessary data from the phrase data section, and necessary data from the example data section. example data search means 7 for searching data;
A character string storage section 8 that stores obtained character strings, an idiom data section 9 that stores idioms, an example data section 10 that stores usage examples of kanji, and a data storage section 11 that stores obtained data. including.

The word processor unit 1 inputs a character string from the keyboard, converts it into kanji, and displays several candidates. In this case, when Uke receives a request to look up an example because he or she does not know which kanji is the correct one to apply, or a request to look up an idiom using that kanji, the character string acquisition means 2 receives the input from the word processor section 1. The obtained character string and the converted kanji data are obtained (step 21 in FIG. 2) and stored in the character string storage section 8 (step 22 in FIG. 2). When a request is made to look up a phrase, the phrase data acquisition means 3 retrieves character strings and kanji data from the character string storage section 8 (step 31 in FIG. 3), passes them to the phrase data search means 6, and retrieves the phrases using the kanji. is searched from the idiom data section 9 to find it (step 32 in FIG. 3), and stored in the data storage section 11 (
Figure 3 step 33). When a request is made to look up an example, the example data acquisition means 4 retrieves the character string and kanji data from the character string storage section 8 (step 41 in FIG. is retrieved from the example data section 1o and stored in the data storage section 11 (step 42 in FIG. 4) if available (step 43 in FIG. 4). The display means 5 retrieves data from the data storage section 11 (step 51 in FIG. 5) and outputs it on the screen (step 52 in FIG. 5). When the above processing is completed, control is returned to the conventional word processor section 1.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention adds a means for displaying usage example data and compound phrase data to a conventional word processing device, thereby making it possible to find out which kanji to use and what compound words are available by looking up a dictionary. This has the effect of increasing input efficiency by eliminating the need to look up information.
