Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a Japanese language processing device typified by a Japanese word processor.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In recent years, Japanese language processing devices have been widely used, and the operability of kana-kanji conversion has become an issue.

Conventionally, this type of Japanese language processing device has a kana-kanji conversion function that converts an input hiragana character string into a character string containing kana-kanji. At this time, there is a way to specify the kanji classification for the string of characters mixed with kana-kanji that has been converted to kana-kanji.For example, if the operator wants to create a sentence using only FFL5 level 1 kanji, such a specification can be used to At the time of conversion, it has a function to display blinking INS 2nd level kanji to notify the operator that the kanji being used include JIS 2nd level kanji. Then, the operator modified the flashing JIS Level 2 kanji into kana, added parentheses after the kanji, and added the reading.

In this way, even with conventional Japanese language processing devices, sentences can be created by the operator correcting the kanji that have been pointed out.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention Although such conventional Japanese language processing devices have been pointed out, there has been a problem in that the operator cannot write sentences using only the desired range of kanji unless the operator makes corrections. The present invention solves the above-mentioned problem, and aims to provide a Japanese language processing device that can create a desired sentence without the operator having to take the trouble to correct the indicated kanji.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a character input section in which an operator inputs a hiragana character string, and a usage kanji range specification section in which the operator specifies a range of kanji to be used. , a character input device equipped with a kana-kanji conversion unit that converts an input hiragana character string into a kanji-mixed character string, and a display unit that displays the character string, which stores kanji in a range corresponding to the operator's specification. a converted character string checking unit that refers to the kanji table to check for kanji that are outside the range, and a converted character string check unit that checks the kanji that are outside the range by referring to the kanji table for the kanji in the kanji-mixed character string that has been obtained by the kana-kanji conversion unit; An out-of-range kanji notification unit that notifies the operator, a kanji-kana correspondence table that stores kanji and their pronunciations that are outside the range specified by the operator, and a kanji-kana correspondence table that stores the kana string input by the operator. An input character check unit that refers to and checks the pronunciations of kanji outside the checked range, and a kanji-kana conversion unit, and the kanji-kana conversion unit checks the input character check unit to check the pronunciations of kanji that are outside the checked range. The character input device converts the kanji outside the range into hiragana and then converts the kanji outside the specified range into kana in the kanji-kana string determined by the operator in the kana-kanji conversion section.

Operation The present invention has the above configuration, and the input character checking unit checks whether or not there is a reading of a kanji that is outside the specified range by referring to the kanji-kana correspondence table, and the kanji-kana conversion unit checks whether or not a kanji that has a reading is outside the range. Return to Kana.

Embodiment Hereinafter, a character input device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a character input device according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 11 is a character input section where the operator inputs a hiragana character string, 12 is a kanji range specification section where the operator specifies the range of kanji to be used in the sentence he is trying to create, and 13 is a character input section 11. The Kana-Kanji converter converts the input Hiragana character string into a Kana-Kanji-mixed character string, 14 The kanji included in the Kana-Kanji-mixed character string converted by the Ephemeral-Kanji converter 13 is the range of Kanji specified by the Kanji range specification unit 12. 15 is a kanji table in which the kanji in the range specified by the kanji range specification section 12 is stored; As a result, an out-of-range kanji notification section 17 notifies the operator if there is a kanji outside the range specified in the kanji range specification section 12; an input character check unit for checking a hiragana character string input in the character input unit 11 when
8 is a kanji-kana correspondence table in which kanji and their pronunciations outside the range specified by the usage kanji range specification section 12 are stored in correspondence; 19 is included in the kana-kanji-containing character string converted by the ephemeral-kanji conversion section 13; A kanji-kana conversion section converts kanji into kana, and 20 is a display section. The above components are then connected as shown in the figure.

In the above configuration, the mutual relationship and operation of each component will be explained. Here, a case will be described in which the operator creates a sentence using only JIS level 1 kanji. In this case, it is assumed that the hiragana character string ``Tendon J'' is input from the character input section 11.The operator specifies in the usage kanji range specification section 12 that the character is to be created using rJIS first level kanji only.

The Kana-Kanji conversion section 13 performs Kana-Kanji conversion on the Hiragana character string "Tendon" inputted from the character input section 11 to obtain a Kana-Kanji mixed character string "Tendon". Here, it is assumed that the kanji table 15 stores JIS first level kanji.

The converted character string checking unit 14 determines that “ten” and “don”, which were converted into character strings containing kana and kanji by the kana-kanji conversion unit 13, are
Check whether it is stored in the kanji table 16.

As a result, we get a result in which "Ten" is stored, but "Don" is not.

That is, it can be seen that "ten" is a JIS first level kanji, but "don" is not a JIS first level kanji. The out-of-range kanji notification unit 16 notifies the operator of this by indicating
Notification is made by flashing the "bowl" part. When the operator inputs "Tendon" and performs kana-kanji conversion, he will get a conversion result in which the "Don J" part of "Tendon" blinks. Since it is found in the kanji notification unit 16 that the kanji ``Tsumashi'', which is outside the range desired by the operator, is included, the kanji-kana correspondence table 18 is searched. In the kanji-kana correspondence table 18, kanji other than the kanji included in the kanji table 16, here J-Technology S second level kanji, are stored in correspondence with their readings. To give a specific example, they are stored as ``I/Don'' and ``Ki/Chuu''. As a result of searching the kanji-kana correspondence table 18, "don" is searched, and the hiragana character string "tendon" inputted from the character input section 11 is checked, and "don" is one in the hiragana character string. Therefore, the kanji-kana converter 19 converts ``don'' to ``don''.
Convert to ``Tendon'' to get the string ``Tendon''.

Then, on the display unit 2o, as a result of the kana-kanji conversion, "
"Tendon" is displayed.

As described above, according to the character input device of the embodiment of the present invention, in the character input device that converts a kana string inputted by the operator in the character input section into a kana string mixed with kanji in the kana-kanji conversion section, a kanji table that stores kanji in a range corresponding to the above, and a converted character string checking unit that refers to the kanji table to check for kanji that are outside the range in the kanji-mixed υ character string obtained by the kana-kanji conversion unit. , an out-of-range kanji notification unit that notifies the operator of kanji that are outside the range; a kanji-kana corresponding chiffle that stores kanji that are outside the range specified by the operator and their readings; An input character checking section that checks the pronunciation of kanji outside the checked range by referring to the kanji-kana correspondence table for the column, and a kanji-kana conversion section are provided, and the kanji-kana conversion section is connected to the input character check section. A character input device that converts kanji outside the specified range with a corresponding pronunciation into hiragana by checking, and converts kanji outside the specified range in a kanji-kana sequence determined by the operator in the kana-kanji conversion unit into kana. By doing so, the operator can
5 If you want to create a sentence using only Level 1 kanji, and you use Kana-Kanji conversion to input a string containing Kana-Kanji characters, and you get a string containing Kana-Kanji characters such as ``Tendon'', ``Don'' is J.
When I noticed the IS level 1 kanji, I went out of my way to write ``don''.
Even without deleting ``Don'' and inputting ``Don'', you can obtain a string containing Kana-Kanji characters, ``Tendon'', through a series of operations for Kana-Kanji conversion.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the description of the embodiments above, the present invention has a character input section where an operator inputs a hiragana character string, a usage kanji range specification section where the operator specifies a range of kanji to be used,
A character input device equipped with a kana-kanji conversion unit that converts an input hiragana character string into a kanji-mixed character string and a display unit that displays the character string, which stores kanji in a range corresponding to the operator's specification. a converted character string checking unit that checks for kanji that are outside the range by referring to the kanji table for the kanji in the kanji-mixed character string obtained by the kana-kanji conversion unit; The out-of-range kanji notification section to be notified, the kanji-kana correspondence table in which kanji and their pronunciations outside the range specified by the operator are stored in correspondence, and the kana string input by the operator are referred to as the kanji-kana correspondence chifur. and a kanji-kana conversion section for checking the readings of kanji outside the checked range; By using a character input device that converts kanji outside the specified range into hiragana and then converts kanji outside the specified range in the kanji-maji-kana string determined by the kana-kanji converter into hiragana, the operator's specification can be improved. Kanji that are out of range are expressed as kana character strings without the operator's input, improving the operability of the device.
