Abstract

PURPOSE:To save labor for reinput and to improve input efficiency by reconverting a character corresponding to an input mode and an identification code after conversion by a designation mode converting part when the conversion between the input modes is instructed. CONSTITUTION:When the instruction of the reconversion is outputted by designating a Japanese syllabary (KANA) input mode, an ID1 saved in a buffer save instructing part 2 is retrieved by the KANA input mode and a character conversion table 6. As the result of the retrieval, chi (square form of KANA,) which is the contents of the character, is sent to a character output part 4 nd delivered to a character input system 7.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to word processors.

[Conventional technology]

Word processor key input modes include kana input mode, romaji input mode, and alphanumeric input mode, and even if you press the same key, different characters will be input depending on the mode. Therefore, for example, when you take your eyes off the display and input keys while looking at the manuscript, you input "Aiu" thinking you were in kana input mode, but you were actually in alphanumeric input mode, so r3E4. will be entered incorrectly.

Traditionally, in such cases, you delete the incorrect input part and
I am trying to re-enter the key.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional word processors mentioned above, it is impossible to change the input state to another input mode after key input in one input mode, so it is necessary to delete erroneous inputs and re-enter keys, which reduces input efficiency. The disadvantage is that it gets worse.

[Means to solve the problem]

The word processor of the present invention has an ID/character conversion table that shows the correspondence between identification codes and characters for each input mode, and a key ID for saving key-input identification codes.
the evacuation buffer, and the characters corresponding to the key-input identification code as the ID.
・Search from the character conversion table, and when a confirmation instruction is given, the identification code in the key ID save buffer is deleted; however, when a conversion instruction between the input modes is given, the input mode after conversion and the identification code in the key ID save buffer are deleted. and an instruction mode conversion unit that searches the ID/conversion table again for a character corresponding to the identification code.

〔Example〕

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

FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, 1 is a keyboard, 2 is a buffer save instruction section, 3 is a specified mode conversion section, 4 is a character output section, 5 is a key ID save buffer, 6 is an ID/character conversion table, and 7 is a character input system. . ID is an identification code.

When a key is pressed on the keyboard 1, the buffer save instruction section 2 saves the ID corresponding to the key in the key ID save buffer 5 for each key. At the same time, the specified mode converter 3 searches the ID/character conversion table 6 for a character corresponding to the key ID that does not correspond to the current specified mode.

The searched characters are passed to the character input system 7 by the character output section 4.

Thereafter, the ID group in the key ID save buffer 5 is deleted by the confirmation instruction. In addition, if there is a conversion instruction between modes before the confirmation instruction, the I
ID corresponding to the mode specified for each minute of group D
- Characters searched by the character conversion table 6 and reconverted are delivered by the character output unit 4.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of operations during key input in alphanumeric input mode according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Assume that key rKEYJ is pressed on keyboard 1. The buffer evacuation instruction section 2 contains I corresponding to the key rKEY.
ID1, which is D, is sent. The buffer save instruction unit 2 saves rlDIJ to the key ID save buffer 5. At the same time, the designation mode converter 3 searches the ID/conversion table 6 in the alphanumeric input mode for the character corresponding to rIDl. As a result of the search, the character content "A" is sent to the character output section 4 and passed to the character input system 7.

FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of the present invention in which when a reconversion instruction is issued by specifying a kana input mode, rIDIJ saved in the buffer save instruction section 2 is searched from the kana input mode/character conversion table 6. As a result of the search, the character content "chi" is sent to the character output section 4 and passed to the character input system 7.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention employs a configuration that enables reconversion between modes when an input error occurs due to a mistake in the input mode during key input, thereby saving the effort of re-entering and improving the efficiency of character input. , has the effect of making it unnecessary to confirm the input mode.

[Brief explanation of drawings]

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of one embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 2 is an explanatory diagram of operation during key input in alphanumeric input mode of this embodiment, and Fig. 3 is re-conversion by designation of kana input mode of this embodiment. An explanatory diagram of instruction operation is shown. 1 is a keyboard, 2 is a buffer save instruction section, 3 is a specified mode conversion section, 4 is a character output section, 5 is a key ID save buffer, 6 is an ID/character conversion table, and 7 is a character input system.

Claims (1)

[Claims] For each input mode, an ID/ID indicating the correspondence between an identification code and a character.
Character conversion table and key ID for saving keyed identification codes
the evacuation buffer, and the characters corresponding to the key-input identification code as the ID.
・Search from the character conversion table, and when a confirmation instruction is given, the identification code in the key ID save buffer is deleted; however, when a conversion instruction between the input modes is given, the input mode after conversion and the identification code in the key ID save buffer are deleted. and an instruction mode conversion section that searches the ID/conversion table again for a character corresponding to the identification code.
