Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a Japanese language input device used for document creation and the like.

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional Japanese input device will be explained with reference to FIG.

In FIG. 3, 31 is an input unit for inputting the pronunciation of a word in kana. In the kana-kanji conversion section 32, when the kana-kanji conversion key is pressed from the hiragana reading input at 31, the Japanese word dictionary data at 33 is searched and converted into a kana-kanji word.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in general, when creating sentences, the main words are often input repeatedly, and it is necessary to input the same pronunciation each time. There was a problem that it took a lot of effort to input words with long readings, and the Japanese input efficiency was poor.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides an arbitrary number of characters from the beginning of the reading of a word (hereinafter referred to as
The purpose is to enable the user to input the desired word by inputting only the partial reading (called partial reading).

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes an abbreviation data recording section that automatically creates and records data for abbreviation conversion from a word once input, and a former abbreviation data recording section. The system is equipped with an abbreviation converter that can convert abbreviations using the abbreviation data obtained.

According to the present invention, with the above-described configuration, it becomes possible to input a complete word only by inputting partial pronunciations, thereby improving the efficiency of inputting Japanese.

Embodiment Below, a Japanese language input device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to figures and tables. FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a Japanese language input device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, 11 is an input unit, and 12 is an ephemeral-kanji conversion unit, which converts the hiragana reading input in the input unit 11 into a word containing kana-kanji by searching 13 Japanese word dictionary data. . Reference numeral 14 denotes an abbreviation data recording section for recording the reading and kanji notation, 15 an abbreviation data storing the recorded abbreviation data, and 16 an abbreviation conversion section for converting the abbreviation data into the corresponding kanji notation. FIG. 2 shows the data format of abbreviation data.

The operation of the Japanese input device configured as described above will be explained below. - For example, “Kanakanji Henkan”
When the reading is converted to "Kana-Kanji conversion", the abbreviation data recording unit 14 records the abbreviation data 16 as 1 reading: Kana-kanji Henkan/notation: Kana-Kanji conversion.Here, in addition to the usual Kana-Kanji conversion key, the abbreviation conversion key is used. key (e.g. TA
B key, etc.). From now on, when this abbreviation conversion key is pressed for "partial reading 1 kanakan", it will be immediately converted to "kana-kanji conversion".Similarly, for partial readings such as "kanakanshihen", "kana", "ka", etc. Similarly, it is converted to "Kana-Kanji conversion".

Furthermore, if abbreviation data such as "Complete" or "Analysis" is recorded for the same "1", the abbreviation data such as "Complete" or "Analysis" is converted in order from the shortest pronunciation.

In addition, when the recorded abbreviation data 16 reaches a certain amount, the oldest one can be deleted, or the abbreviation data 16 can be deleted in advance.
It is also possible to have a function that allows you to prepare

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention enables simplified input by providing an abbreviation data recording section and an abbreviation conversion section, thereby increasing the input speed of Japanese.
