External storage device 5 and a CRT display device (hereinafter referred to as CRT
It is composed of 6 and.

Here, the CPU 1 is provided with a dictionary merging processing section 1a for merging a plurality of national language dictionaries to create a new national language dictionary, and in the RAM 3 a kana-kanji conversion processing area 3a and a dictionary merging area 3b. And the dictionary merging processing section 1a, the kana-kanji conversion processing area 3a, and the dictionary merging area 3b constitute a dictionary merging creating means. The kana-kanji conversion processing area 3a stores data such as the storage position and size of the Japanese language dictionary and is used for temporary storage of data when the kana-kanji conversion processing is performed. The dictionary merging area 3b temporarily stores data when merging national dictionaries.

The external storage device 5 stores individual national language dictionaries. When the user uses a desired national language dictionary, the user reads the individual national language dictionaries from the external storage device 5 into the dictionary storage unit 4. , Used for Kana-Kanji conversion.

The structure of the Japanese language dictionary will be described below with reference to the block diagram of FIG. The Japanese dictionary is composed of a header section A, an index section B, a main body section C, and a tail section D.
The header part A is composed of two words, and stores the currently used size of the index part B and the currently used size of the main body part C. The index part B is a pointer to the search word (kana data) of the main part C (offset in word units from the beginning of the main part C. The start address of the Japanese language dictionary and the header part A, the index part B, the main part C, the tail). The size of the copy D is stored in the kana-kanji conversion processing area 3a, and the CPU 1 can access the main body C with this offset.) Is stored in the order of the Japanese syllabary of the search word pointed to by the pointer. The main body C stores the search word and the subsequent registration character string in the order of registration. One character of the search word is stored in one byte, and one character of the registered word is stored in one word. When the search word is composed of an odd number of characters, "0" is padded.
The tail portion D stores the buffer size for reading and displaying the registered word from the national language dictionary. This buffer size limits the number of character strings that can be registered for one search word.

With respect to the kana-kanji conversion device of the present embodiment configured as described above, the operation of creating the dictionary merge will be described below. Here, the first national language dictionary 11 stored in the dictionary storage unit 4 will be described. A case in which the second national language dictionary 12 stored in the external storage device 5 is merged and a new national language dictionary is created in the external storage device 5 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.

First, the CPU 1 executes the first data in the dictionary storage unit 4.
Registered words of the main body C from the Japanese language dictionary 11 of the dictionary merge area 3
After being read into b (step S1), the external storage device 5
The registered word is read from the main body C of the second national language dictionary 12 stored in (step S2), and the main body C of the first dictionary 11 written in step S1 is registered as shown in FIG. Write at the end of the word (step S3).

Next, the first national language dictionary 1 in the dictionary storage unit 4
1 and the index portion B from the second national language dictionary 12 in the external storage device 5 into the dictionary merging area 3b (steps S4 and S5), and the second national language dictionary 12 is read.
The in-use size of the main body portion C shown in the header portion A of the first national language dictionary 11 in the dictionary storage portion 4 is added to the value of each pointer of the index portion B of (step S6).
Then, in step S7, all pointers in the index section B of the second national language dictionary 12 in the dictionary merging area 3b are stored in the index section B of the first national language dictionary 11 in the same dictionary merging area 3b. The data is written at the end of the pointer, and the inside of the index portion B is sorted in the order of Japanese syllabary based on the contents of the main body portion C (step S8).

Subsequently, a header section A of the new national language dictionary is generated in the dictionary merging area 3b, and a first national language dictionary 11 in the dictionary storage section 4 and a second national language dictionary 12 in the external storage device 5 are created. Each national language dictionary stored in header A 1
The in-use sizes of the index portion B of 1 and 12 and the main body portion C are added and written in the header portion A of the new language dictionary (step S9).

After this, the header part A, the index part B, and the main body part C of the new Japanese dictionary are written in order in the external storage device 5 (steps S10, S11, S12), and the tail in which the buffer size is written at the end is written. The section D is set (step S13). Next, the display data for one search word is searched in the new Japanese language dictionary for data having a size equal to or larger than the buffer size set in the tail portion D (step S14), and the list is displayed on the CRT 6 (step S15). Here, when the word to be erased is designated from the input device 4 (step S16), the designated word notation is canceled from the main body portion C (step S17), and the index portion B and the header portion A are updated by the deleted portions. (Step S18).

As described above, in this embodiment, since a plurality of national language dictionaries can be combined to create a new national language dictionary, a new national language dictionary created based on an individual or a field is newly added. A versatile national language dictionary can be created, and when using a new national language dictionary, kana-kanji conversion processing can be performed in the same processing time as when using a conventional single national language dictionary.

Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the new language dictionary is
Since it is structurally the same as the individual and field dictionary before composition, where there are multiple Kana-Kanji conversion devices, if one Kana-Kanji conversion device has this composition function,
With all other kana-kanji conversion devices, the effect of this function can be obtained with the conventional configuration.
