Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a kana-kanji conversion device for converting kana into kanji and inserting the kana into a document.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional kana-kanji conversion device inputs a kana into a document and then presses a kana-kanji conversion key to convert it into kanji. If the desired kanji is not converted, the next candidate key is pressed to move to the next Kana-to-kanji conversion was performed, and when the desired kanji was reached, the enter key (execution key) was pressed to insert it at the kana position in the document. At this time, if you want to re-enter the same character string that was entered in Kana by entering Kana and entering it in the document, enter the same Kana from the beginning, press the Kanji conversion key, and then press the Enter key. I tried to insert it in the document.

[0003]

As described above, according to the conventional kana-kanji conversion device, when the same character string once decided is to be input again in the document, the kana-kanji conversion is performed after the kana is input again. There is a problem in that it is necessary to press a key to convert it to Kanji and press the execution key to insert it in the document, and even if it is the same character string, the same operation must be performed, which is troublesome.

The present invention solves these problems.
Kana-Kanji conversion is performed, and the character string that was confirmed and inserted in the document is saved, the list of saved character strings is displayed in response to the list display instruction, and the selected character string is inserted into the document and The purpose is to make it possible to easily insert a fixed character string into a document without re-inputting kana.

[0005]

FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of the principle of the present invention. In FIG. 1, a central processing unit 1 performs various processes according to a program, and comprises a kana-kanji conversion means 2, a character string insertion / storing means 3 and a character string display / insertion means 4.

The kana-kanji conversion means 2 converts the input kana into kanji or a character string containing kanji by referring to a kana-kanji conversion dictionary (not shown). The character string insertion / storing means 3 is for inserting a converted kanji character or a character string containing a kanji character into a document or storing it in the fixed character string storing means 6.

The character string display / insertion means 4 extracts and displays a list of character strings from the fixed character string storage means 6 in response to a list display instruction (for example, pressing the list key 81).

The main storage device 5 stores data and programs. Here, the fixed character string storage means 6 is used.
Is provided. The fixed character string storage means 6 stores the kana-kanji characters after the kana-kanji conversion in the document or the character strings including the kanji characters in a new order.

The display 7 is for displaying a document. The keyboard 8 is provided with a key for inputting a kana or a list key 81.

[0010]

According to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, in response to the input of a kana from the keyboard 8 or the like, the kana-kanji conversion means 2 refers to a dictionary (not shown) and converts the kana into a kanji character, which corresponds to a confirmation instruction. Then, the character string inserting / storing means 3 inserts the kana-kanji converted kanji or a character string containing kanji into the document. Then, in response to a list display instruction by pressing the list key 81 or the like, the character string display / insertion unit 4 displays the list of character strings stored from the fixed character string storage unit 6 on the display 7, and the list is displayed. The character string selected from is inserted in the document.

Further, the character string insertion / storing means 3 saves the character strings inserted in the document in the newest character string in the fixed character string storing means 6 in response to a list display instruction by pressing the list key 81 or the like. The display / insertion means 4 displays the list in the new order of the fixed character string storage means 6 on the display 7, inserts the character string selected from the list into the document, and at the top of the fixed character string storage means 6. I try to save it.

Therefore, the character string that has been converted into Kana-Kanji and confirmed and inserted into the document is saved, and a list of the saved character strings corresponding to the list display instruction is displayed and the character string selected from this is displayed in the document. By inserting into the document, it became possible to insert into the document quickly and easily without re-inputting the kana about the character string that was fixed once and inserted into the document.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the construction and operation of an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 2 shows a flowchart for explaining the operation of the present invention. This is a detailed description of the operation of the configuration of FIG. In FIG. 2, S1 is kana input. In this case, the user operates the keyboard 8 shown in FIG. 1 and inputs a kana key. For example, as shown in the upper left of FIG. The kana input by this key is displayed on the display 7.

S2 is a conversion. This is because the kana-kanji conversion means 2 in FIG. 1 refers to a kana-kanji conversion dictionary (not shown),
It is converted into the kanji corresponding to the kana input in S1. Here, the above Kana "Tokyo" is converted to Kana to Kana. This kana-kanji converted character string (character string including kanji) is displayed on the display 7.

S3 is determined. This is confirmed by the user who presses the confirm key to see the character string (character string including kanji) displayed on the display 7 after the kana-kanji conversion in S2. When the kana-kanji converted character string (character string containing kanji) displayed on the display 7 is not appropriate, the next kana-kanji conversion key is pressed to display the next kana-kanji converted character string (character string containing kanji). Repeat the display and press the enter key to confirm when the appropriate kanji is reached.

In step S4, the confirmed character string is inserted into the document. This is to insert the character string (kanji or a character string containing kanji) determined in S3 into the position of the cursor or the part of the kana converted from kana to kanji.

In S5, the fixed character string is stored at the head of the fixed character string storage means 6. This is to store the confirmed character string confirmed in S4 and inserted into the document at the head of the confirmed character string storage means 6, that is, so that the new confirmed character string becomes the head.

In step S6, it is determined whether the list key has been pressed. This determines whether the user has pressed the list key 81 to instruct the list display. In the case of YES, it progresses to S7. If no, it stands by.

In S7, since it is determined that the list key 81 has been pressed in YES in S6, the list is taken out from the fixed character string storing means 6 and displayed on the display 7. This is the fixed character string storage means 6 when the character strings converted into kana-kanji (character strings containing kanji) are inserted into a document in the new order.
The list is taken out from the ones stored in and displayed on the display 7.

In step S8, a selection is made from the list. This selects one character string to be inserted into the document from the list of the character strings in the new order that the user has inserted into the document displayed on the display 7.

In step S9, the document is inserted. This inserts the character string selected from the list in S8 at the position of the cursor in the document. This allows you to select one of the previously saved character strings and insert it at the cursor position in the document without keying in the kana, and omit the kana input. It is very convenient when you put it inside.

In step S10, the fixed character string storing means 6 is moved to the head. This is to move the character string selected from the list inserted in the document selected in S9 to the head of the fixed character string means 6 so that the character string is set to the head of the fixed character string means 6 and to have a learning function. deep.

As described above, in response to the user's input of kana, the kana is converted into kanji and inserted into the document when it is OK and stored in the fixed character string storage means 6 in the new order. In response to the pressing of the list key 81, the fixed character string storage means 6 is displayed in a list from the newest to the top,
In response to the selection of any one of them, the selected character string is inserted into the document and the fixed character string storage means 6 is inserted.
By moving to the head of, the character string converted into kana-kanji can be input into the document extremely quickly and easily without inputting kana from the second time onward. Especially when selecting one of several types of kana-kanji conversion and inputting one character string (character string containing kanji) into a document, simply selecting one from the list display makes the document quick and easy. It is possible to enter.

FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the present invention. FIG.
(A) shows the state of kana-kanji conversion.・ In the first line, "TOKYO and reading" input → conversion, the user reads from the keyboard 8 and inputs "Tokyo".

The second line, “Tokyo Metropolitan Confirmation → Insert and Save” corresponds to the user looking at the kana-kanji converted character string “Tokyo” displayed on the display 7 and pressing the confirm key. Then, the confirmed character string “Tokyo” is inserted into the document and stored in the confirmed character string storage means 6.

Similarly, in the third and fourth lines, the kana "Machidashi" is converted into "Machida City", inserted into the document, and stored in the fixed character string storing means 6. Similarly, in the fifth and sixth lines, the kana "Tsuruma" is converted into "Tsuruma", which is inserted into the document and stored in the fixed character string storing means 6.

As described above, "Tokyo", "Machida city", and "Tsuruma" are inserted in the document and are stored in the fixed character string storing means 6 as shown in FIG. 3B.
FIG. 3B shows a state of being stored in the fixed character string storage means 6 of FIG. 1 by the operation / processing of FIG. Here, since the newly saved one is saved first, that is, as the candidate 1, as a result, it is saved in the order shown below.

・ Tsuruma ← Candidate 1 ・ Machida ← Candidate 2 ・ Tokyo ← Candidate 3 In this state, when the user presses the list key 81 instead of inputting kana, the list in the fixed character string storage means 6 ・Tsuruma, Machida City, and Tokyo will be displayed in that order. When the user positions the cursor on "Tokyo" and presses the execution key, the selected character string "Tokyo" is inserted in the document, and the character string is written without inputting kana. Can be inserted inside. When this character string "Tokyo" is inserted into the document, the character string "Tokyo" becomes the first candidate 1 of the fixed character string storage means 6, and the latest character string is displayed as shown in (c) of FIG. Is stored at the top (candidate 1).

FIG. 3C shows the state of the fixed character string storage means 6 after the candidate 3 character string "Tokyo" is selected and inserted into the document in the state of FIG. 3B. . In this state,
The character string "Tokyo" inserted in the document is moved to the first candidate 1, as shown below.

・ Tokyo ← Candidate 1 ・ Tsuruma ← Candidate 2 ・ Machida City ← Candidate 3 As described above, the fixed character string storage unit 6 stores the confirmed character strings inserted in the document in order from the newest candidate 1, candidate. Since it is arranged in the order of 2, candidate 3, ..., it can be displayed in the order of the list of character strings that are likely to be input again. Especially when inputting an address book etc., kana input is omitted and the converted character string is directly displayed. It is now possible to select from the list and insert it into the document.

[0032]

As described above, according to the present invention,
The character string converted into Kana-Kanji and confirmed and inserted in the document is stored in the confirmed character string storage means 6, and a list of the stored character strings is displayed in response to the list display instruction by pressing the list key 81. Since the selected character string is inserted into the document, it can be inserted into the document quickly and easily without re-entering kana for the character string that has been confirmed and inserted into the document. I can do it now. In addition, since the character strings newly inserted in the document are stored at the top of the fixed character string storage means 6, the list display is performed in the order of frequency of use, and the character strings after efficient kana-kanji conversion are displayed in the document. It became possible to insert.
