Abstract

PURPOSE:To ensure the clean and easy-to-see display and print by converting automatically the company type data inputted and kept as they are with different lengths and with no uniformity into the designated description (extension/ contraction). CONSTITUTION:A company name data storage part 1 is provided together with a company type detection means 2, a conversion mode changeover means 3, an extension conversion means 4, a contraction conversion means 5, and a company name data storage part (2) 6. The company type data on the company name data are converted automatically by a computer into the designated description. Thus the company name data on an integrated company type can be obtained in a display/print state. As a result, the company types which are displayed and printed in the company name items of a data base for control of visiting cards, address books, etc., can be easily recognized in the sonorous styles.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application fields] The present invention applies to "Corporation Corporation" in the company name data.

The present invention relates to a company type conversion device that converts company type data such as "Co., Ltd." into extended notation ", corporation" or abbreviated notation "t, a".

[Prior Art] In the company name field of databases such as business card management and address books, the company type that is displayed and printed is the same as entered.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the length of the company type as input is varied and there is no uniformity, so both the display and printing are messy and difficult to see. Moreover, it is not useful to correct this manually because it takes a lot of man-hours and involves altering the input data.

An object of the present invention is to provide a company type conversion device that can automatically convert company type data of company name data into specified notation using a computer and obtain company name data of unified company type when displaying or printing. It is to provide.

[Means for Solving the Problems] A company type conversion device of the present invention includes: a company name data storage unit 1 storing company name data; a company type detection means for detecting company type data from the company name data; and a company. a conversion mode switching means for switching a mode for converting type data; an extended conversion means for converting company type data into extended notation; a shortening conversion means for converting company type data into abbreviated notation; It is characterized by having a company name data storage section 2 that stores company name data.

[Operations] The company type conversion device of the present invention first detects the company name data storage unit 1 containing company name data by the company type detection means.
Detect company type data from .

Next, the mode for converting the company type data is switched between extended conversion and shortened conversion by the conversion mode switching means.

In the extended conversion mode, the company type data is converted into extended notation by the extended conversion means.

In the abbreviated conversion mode, the company type data is converted into abbreviated notation by the abbreviated conversion means.

Company name data resulting from the conversion of the company type data is stored in the company name data storage section 2.

[Embodiment] FIG. 1 is an example of a configuration block diagram of a company type conversion device of the present invention.

1 is a company name data storage unit 1 that stores company name data.

2 is a company type detection means for detecting company type data from the company name data.

3 is a conversion mode switching means for switching the mode for converting company type data.

Reference numeral 4 denotes an extended conversion means for converting company type data into extended notation.

5 is an abbreviation conversion means for converting company type data into abbreviated notation.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a company name data storage unit 2 that stores company name data resulting from conversion of company type data.

FIG. 2 is an example of a flowchart of the company type conversion device of the present invention, and Fl to F9 are step numbers.

In Fl, it is checked whether target company type data is included in the company name data.

Target company type data is shown in Figure 3 (a) to (kl)
This is shown in . If the strain system is as shown in Figures 3(a) to 3(d), Pakabu'' is shown in Figures 3(e) to 3(1).
If it is a group like 1), set the flag as "Yuu". If the target company type is not included, the flag is blank.

In F2, the flag set in Fl is checked, and if the target company type is not included, no conversion is performed.

In F3, it is determined whether the conversion mode is expansion or contraction, and if the conversion mode is contraction, the process is distributed to F4, and if expansion is to Fl, the process is distributed.

Short conversion is performed from F4 to F6.

In F4, it is determined whether the flag obtained in Fl is "Turnip" or "Yuu", and if it is "Turnip", the processing is distributed to F5, and if it is "Yuu", processing is distributed to F6.

In F5, in the case of "Cub", that is, the company types shown in FIG. 3(a) to FIG. 3(d), this is converted into the abbreviated notation shown in FIG. 3(a).

In F6, in the case of "YU", that is, the company types shown in FIG. 3(e) to FIG. 3(h) are converted to the abbreviated notation shown in FIG. 3(e).

Extended conversion is performed from Fl to F9.

In Fl, it is determined whether the flag obtained in Fl is "Turnip 2" or "Yu", and if it is "Turnip", the process is distributed to F8, and if it is "Yu", processing is distributed to F9.

In F8, in the case of "Cub", that is, the company types shown in FIGS. 3(a) to 3(d) are converted to the expanded notation shown in FIG. 3(d).

In F9, in the case of "YU", that is, the company types are shown in FIG. 3(e) to FIG. 3(h), so this is converted into the expanded notation shown in FIG. 3(h). Through the above processing, the company type data included in the company name data as input is automatically converted to the prespecified notation (expansion/shortening).

FIG. 4 is an example of a hardware configuration diagram of a code sequential calling device. The area surrounded by the dotted line is, for example, the inside of a personal computer, and Hl is the CPU.

H2 is RAM, which is used to store programs and as a buffer for company name data and as a workpiece.

H3 is a ROM that contains system programs such as BIOS. H4 displays data, etc. on a display such as a CRT. H5 is a keyboard, and the user manually presses the keys as necessary. H6 is a recording device such as a magnetic disk, which reads and writes files.

[Effects of the Invention] The company type conversion device of the present invention can automatically convert company type data that is input as it is and has varying lengths and is not uniform into a specified notation (expansion/shortening), so it is easy to display and print. Both are clean and easy to see. For example, in a business card management database, when displaying a list of multiple records, company types can be unified to abbreviated notation to make it easier to read, and similarly, when printing each record, company types can be unified to extended notation to make it more elegant.

Particularly when the number of digits on the screen or print is insufficient,
The four-digit length is unnecessary, and it is very convenient to be able to abbreviate it to one digit like '■''.

Furthermore, since output data for display or printing can be temporarily created by conversion by this apparatus, input data does not have to be altered, which is beneficial.
