Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a kana-kanji conversion device used in Japanese input devices, text editing devices, etc., which inputs kana characters according to the pronunciation of the characters and outputs kanji or sentences containing kanji and kana. .

To be more specific about this kana-kanji conversion device, it is equipped with a kana-tachi key as a character input key, and by operating this key, input is made in units of words or phrases, and this input word is supplied to the kana-kanji conversion table. It converts the text into a corresponding sentence mixed with kana and kanji, stores it in a text memory, and outputs it to a printer for document creation.

By the way, when inputting characters with the above-mentioned kana person kaki, the kana character ``wa'' is read as ``Ha'' or ``Wa'', for example, ``
When inputting the sentence ``Watashi wa'', input ``Watashi wa'' using the kana-taito key and perform the conversion operation, and the sentence ``Watashi wa'' mixed with kanji is read out.

However, some operators sometimes input "Washiwa", which is actually a mistake.

In this case, it is usually an error, so it is generally not converted.

However, with this type of device, even if the word is grammatically incorrect (due to an input operation error), it is enough to obtain the desired word ``I am'' as a result.

Therefore, the present invention has been devised so that even the above-mentioned input of "Washiwa" can be converted to "Washiwa", thereby improving the input operability.

To explain the present invention in detail below, FIG. 1 is a block diagram schematically showing the configuration of the device of the present invention, and 1 is a part of the kana human power keys, which includes a group of kana keys arranged in alphabetical order. . Reference numeral 2 is a part of a control key for controlling conversion and editing into a sentence mixed with kanji.

The key signals from the kana manual key part 1 and the control key part 2 are supplied to a key control circuit 3, which outputs a corresponding coded signal, which is then supplied to an editing control circuit 4. .

Reference numeral 5 denotes a display device, which displays the inputted kana characters or the converted characters mixed with kanji. Reference numeral 6 denotes a printing device, which creates a document by printing the text information stored in the text memory device 7 that stores the kanji-mixed text obtained by converting the input kana text.

When predetermined text information is stored in the text memory device 7, the printing device 6 is operated to create a document.

Next, the kana-kanji conversion operation, which is a characteristic feature of the present invention, will be explained in detail with reference to FIG.

This FIG. 2 is a block diagram specifically showing the relationship between the editing control circuit 4 and the conversion table device 8 in FIG. 1.
This is a first buffer that stores a kana sentence of one clause or phrase. 11 is the first Badufyl.

A second character string storing a kana character string transferred from is transferred to the second buffer 11, and whether or not there is a character code of "wa" at the end of the kana character string, that is, at the end of a clause or phrase. This is the transfer circuit that determines the The determination output of the transfer circuit 120 is supplied to the code generation circuit 13, which generates a character code of "ha" in response to the detection of the character code of "wa" and supplies it to the second buffer 11.

Therefore, when there is a character code for "wa" at the end of a clause or phrase, the second buffer 11 stores the clause or phrase in a form in which "wa" is replaced with "ha".

14 is a switching circuit, and a flip-flop (F2) 15
When F215 is being reset, the kana character string in the first buffer 10 is supplied to the conversion table device 8, and when F215 is being reset, the kana character string in the second buffer 11 is supplied to the conversion table device 8. Switch control to.

This conversion table device 8 performs a conversion operation every time a conversion instruction signal CH generated by operating a conversion key arrives, and is stored in advance so as to generate a corresponding kanji-mixed sentence by inputting a kana sentence. If there are words, they are output in order of frequency of use each time there is a conversion instruction. Furthermore,
When all homophones and different words are read out, a completion signal E is output to the AND gate 17.

Reference numeral 16 designates an output buffer 1 for storing sentences mixed with Chinese characters outputted from the conversion table device 8, and supplies them to the display device and editing control circuit.

The flip-flop (F, ) 18 is set by the detection output when the transfer circuit 12 detects the character code "wa", and this set output is supplied to the other input terminal of the AND gate 17. . The flip-flop (F2) 15 is set when a completion signal E is output from the conversion table device 8 when F and 18 are set. Note that F118 and F215 are reset when the next kana manual key operation is performed after the conversion instruction.

Next, we will specifically explain the operation shown in Figure 2 above. Now, in order to obtain the sentence "Ko wa", the operator operated the kana person Kaki and incorrectly entered "Kouwa". do.

Then, the character codes of the input kana character string "Kouwa" are sequentially stored in the first buffer 10.
Operate the conversion key assuming that you have finished inputting one phrase or phrase.

By this key instruction, the kana character string in the first buffer 10 is sequentially transferred to the second buffer 11 by the transfer circuit 12, and whether or not there is a character code of "'wa'" at the end of this clause or word is checked. A determination is made.

In this example, there is a character code of "wa" at the end, so when the character code of "wa" appears, F118 is set, and the code generation circuit 13 generates the character code of "ha", and the second buffer 11 supply to

At this time, the character code 'wa' is not transferred to the second buffer 11.

Therefore, the character string "Koha" is stored in the second buffer 11.

On the other hand, since F215 is the first one, it is in the reset state, and the switching circuit 14 validates the output from the first buffer 10, so that the kana character string in the first buffer 10 is searched in the conversion table device 8. sent as data,
If there is a corresponding sentence mixed with kanji, it is taken out to the output buffer 16, and this taken out sentence mixed with kanji is displayed on a display device.

Here, if the desired kanji-mixed sentence is not present, the conversion key is operated again to sequentially output the corresponding kanji-mixed sentence.

In this example, since ``Kouwa'' is input in kana characters, ``Heiwa'', ``Takawa'', etc. are output in sequence, but the desired word ``Ko wa'' is not output. When all the homophones are read out in order of frequency by continuing to operate the keys, a completion signal E is output to the AND gate 17.

At this time, since F118 is in the set state, the AND gate 17 is opened and F215 is set in the set state. Therefore, the switching circuit 14 switches to enable the output of the second buffer 11 (this time, the kana character code stored in the second buffer 11 is sent as search data to the conversion table device 8). A sentence mixed with kanji that reads ``koha'' is output.

Here, when the desired "A" is read out, the operator operates to input the kana of the next sentence. At this time, F18 and F215 are reset.

The above operations are input sequentially according to the input text information, and the text is converted into a predetermined kanji-mixed text.

In the above embodiment, the conversion key is operated when one phrase or phrase is input into the first buffer 10, but the completion of inputting a phrase or phrase is indicated by a comma ",".
The conversion operation may be performed in response to key operations at the commas " and ".

As described above, in the present invention, it is detected whether or not there is the character "°wa" at the end of a phrase or phrase written in kana, and when the character "wa" is present, it is changed to "ha". It is stored by replacing it with a character code, and then the conversion table device is used to search for the replaced character string and read out the corresponding sentence containing kanji, so for example, although it is grammatically incorrect, Even if ``Watashi wa'' is inputted, the desired ``Watashi wa'' will be obtained as a result, and the input operability will be greatly improved and the operation will be extremely convenient.
