Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention applies to text processors, and in particular, for example, for a predetermined single, a single Il* conversion (for example, kana-kanji conversion) is preset. The present invention relates to such a text processing device.

Conventionally, some text processing devices such as word processors have a so-called kana-kanji conversion method.

11 is a block diagram showing an example of a conventional word processor device having a Hirokana-Kanji conversion function; FIG.

In the figure, the control unit 2 has a keyboard 7 with Jl! This keyboard 7 is used to input character codes and various instructions. Further, an input text display memory 4 is connected to the control unit 2 . This input text display memory 4
has a storage area corresponding to the display uniformity of the display unit 6 to be described, and can store at least one screen worth of text. A display address generation section 3 is connected to the input text display memory 4 and the Ill11 section 2. The display address generation section 3 outputs a display address 23. This display address 23 is given to the input text display memory 4 as an address for reading character codes. A character generator 5 is connected to the input ★ chapter display memory 4 . In this character generator 5, character display patterns are preset for each of a plurality of character codes. A display section 6 is connected to the character generator 5. This display section 6 is constituted by, for example, a CRT display. Furthermore, the control unit 2 includes
A cursor address section 1 is connected. The cursor address section 1 detects the position of the cursor displayed on the display section 6 and provides the address 21 to the control section 2.

As mentioned above, the word processor device of FIG. 1 has a kana-kanji conversion function. That is, when a command is given to convert a kana single ■ into a kanji character in a sentence displayed on the display section 6, a preset homophone group of kanji characters for the kana single ■ is displayed on the display section 6.

Then, a predetermined kanji is selected from the kanji group, and the above-mentioned kana word is converted into kanji. For the purpose of selecting kanji,
A light pen 8 is connected to the control unit 2.

211 is a diagram showing the display screen of the display unit 6 shown in FIG. It is divided into an input text display area 9 for display, and a kanji group display area 10 for displaying a kanji group during kana-kanji conversion. Note that sentences input from the keyboard 7 are not displayed in the kanji group display area 10.

In operation, character codes input from the keyboard 7 are sequentially written into the input text display memory 4 by the control section 2. The character codes written in the input text display memory 4 are sequentially read out by the display address 23 from the display address generation section 3 and given to the character generator 5.

Character generator 5 uses the given character code 24
A character display pattern 25 corresponding to the character display pattern 25 is output and given to the display unit 6. Accordingly, characters are displayed on the display section 6.

Next, the operation during kana-kanji conversion will be explained.

Now, the kana word in the sentence shown in Figure 2 is ``, shisou''.
The case of performing kana-kanji conversion will be explained. In this case, the cursor movement keys (not shown) provided on the keyboard 7 move the cursor to kana, and
is moved to the position of

Then, Kana-Kanji conversion is commanded by a Kana-Kanji section and a conversion command key (not shown) provided on the keyboard 7.

In response, the control unit 2 recognizes that "shiso" is a kanji part from the sentences before and after "shi" where the cursor is located. And, this kana is preset for 1llll "Siso"! A group of kanji characters having the same sound in numbers is written into an input sentence display memory 4. Note that the kanji group written at this time is written in the storage area corresponding to the kanji group display area 10 shown in FIG.

In the same manner as described above, the character code and kanji code are read out by the display address 23, converted into a character display pattern by the character generator 5, and displayed on the display section 6.

Next, the operator looks at the display screen as shown in FIG. 2 and determines whether there are any kanji to select. If there is a kanji to be selected, the display position of that kanji on the display surface is pressed with the light pen 8. As a result, a kanji selection instruction signal 27 is output from the light pen 8 and is provided to the control section 2. In response, the control unit 2 converts the kana word "shiso" into the selected kanji.

As described above, in the conventional word processing device, the kanji group display area 10 is fixedly provided at a specific position on the display screen of the display unit 6. Therefore, when kana-kanji conversion is not performed, the kanji group display area 10 is in a non-display state, making it impossible to effectively utilize the display screen. Furthermore, since the number of rows allocated to the kanji group display area 6-10 is small, if there are many kanji groups to be displayed, they cannot be displayed in one WK. Therefore, the kanji group displayed in the kanji group display area 10 must be updated to another set kanji group, which is troublesome.

Moreover, the main object of the present invention is to provide a text processing device that can overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks.

In summary, the present invention provides a text processing m1 in which a single group for single conversion is set in advance for a given single.
iir, a sentence storage means for storing inputted sentences, and a single group preset for words specified to be converted from among the displayed sentences; a single I1 group storage means for switching between the sentences stored in the sentence storage means and the single group stored in the *m group storage means in response to the designation by the designation means, and providing the display means with the In ◆, a part of the display screen is replaced with text and a single group is displayed.

The above objects and other objects and features of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description with reference to the drawings.

Figure 111K3 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. In terms of configuration, FIG. 3 is similar to FIG. 1 except for the following points, and corresponding parts are given the same reference numerals and explanations thereof will be omitted. One of the features of the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 is that, in addition to the input text display memory 4, a kanji group display memory 11 is provided to store codes of kanji groups to be displayed during kana-kanji conversion. The entire storage area of the input sentence display memory 4 is used for storing sentences input from the keyboard 7. Further, the kanji group display memory 11 has a storage area corresponding to the display surface of the display unit 6. The display address 23 from the display address generation section 3 is given to the input sentence display memory 4 and also to the kanji group display memory 11. Therefore, codes at corresponding positions on the display screen are read out synchronously from the input sentence display memory 4 and the kanji group display memory 11.

Character code 24 and Kanji code 30 are switched l path 12
given to. This switching circuit 12 is supplied with a display switching signal 29 from the control section 2 .

The switching circuit 12 includes AND gates 121 and 122,
Including an OR gate 123 and an inverter 124,
In response to the display switching signal 29 from the liIl unit 2, either the character code 24 or the kanji code 30 is selectively written and given to the character generator 5.

Although not shown, the control unit 2 includes, for example, a CPU-
FROM-? ) Includes RAM, etc. The ROM stores an operation program as shown in FIG. 5, and the CPU operates according to the operation program.The RAM includes a storage area as shown in FIG. It has a separate area for storing groups of kanji with the same sound.

FIG. 4 is an ms diagram showing a part of the storage area of the RAM included in the control unit 2 shown in FIG. (hereinafter referred to as kanji conversion flag 9-lag KF), an area for storing the cursor address from cursor address field 1 (hereinafter referred to as register OA), and an area for storing the display start line of a group of kanji (hereinafter referred to as register A). (hereinafter referred to as register MAX), an area (hereinafter referred to as register B) for storing the line following the display end line of the kanji group, and an area (hereinafter referred to as register MAX) for storing the last line on the display screen of display unit 6. .

FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the control section 2 shown in FIG. Figures 68 to 6C are diagrams showing various display examples on the display section 6 during kana-kanji conversion. The specific operation of this embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6C.

First, the normal operation when no kana-kanji conversion is commanded will be explained. In this case, in step 1 (abbreviated as S in the figure) shown in FIG. 5, it is determined that the kana-kanji conversion command signal from the keyboard 7 is off. Then, in step 2, it is determined that the selection instruction signal 27 from the light ben 8 is off and 10-. Subsequently, in step 3, it is determined whether to reset the kanji conversion flag KF.

Next, the operation when kana-kanji conversion is commanded will be explained, but first the operation when one display line of the cursor is on the display screen as shown in FIG. 6A will be explained.

In this case 1. In step 1, it is determined that the kana-kanji conversion command signal from the keyboard 7 is on, and in step 4, the corresponding kanji group among the kanji groups preset in the RAM (not shown) of the control unit 2 is displayed in the kanji group display memory 1. written to. Then, in step 5, register OA
The display line of the cursor stored in is incremented by 2 and written to register A. That is, register 8 stores the display start line of the kanji group (display starts from the second line from the cursor display line). Subsequently, in step 6, it is determined that the number of lines stored in register 8 is smaller than the 11 last line of the display screen stored in register MAX. Next, in step 7, 2 is added to the display line of the cursor, the number of display lines of the kanji group to be displayed is added, and 1 is further added. Then, the addition result is written to register B. That is, register B stores the line next to the last displayed line of the group of kanji to be displayed. Here, as is clear from FIG. 6A, the next line of the kanji group display area is displayed ii
It is smaller than the last row of m. Therefore, in step 8, it is determined that the number of lines in register B is smaller than the number of lines in register MAX, and in step 10, a kanji conversion flag KF is set.

Subsequently, in step 3, it is determined whether the kanji conversion flag KF is set.

Next, in steps 11 to 14, the display switching signal 29 from the control section 2 is turned on and off.

This display switching signal 29 is normally off, so the switching circuit 12 selects and outputs the character code 24 from the input text display memory 4. Here, the 6th All
Considering the case where the display is performed from the first row of the display 51g1i shown in FIG. 1, the display address generation unit 3 outputs the display address 23 corresponding to the first row of the display jwi. Therefore, in step 11, it is determined that register A does not match the display address 23, and in step 1
2, it is determined that register B does not match display address 23. Therefore, at this time, display switching signal 2
9 is off, and the switching circuit 12 supplies the character code from the input text display memory 4 to the character generator 5. Therefore, as shown in No. 6 AII, the display section 6
On the display screen, the input text display area continues from the first line.

When the display line in this input text display area is updated and the display line becomes the second line from the cursor display line, step 1
1, it is determined whether register A and display address 23 match. Then, in step 13, the display switching signal 29 is turned on. Accordingly, the switching circuit 12 selects a portion of the 11 characters from 1 to 1 from the kanji group display memory 30 and supplies it to the character generator 5. Therefore, on the display screen of the display unit 6, the kanji group display area continues from the second line from the cursor display line, the last kanji in the kanji group display area is displayed, and then in the next line, Step 13 - In step 12, it is determined whether the register 8 and the display address 23 match. Then, in step 14, the display switching signal 29 is turned off. Therefore, display 111
In m, the input sentence display area continues from the next line where the last kanji in the kanji group display area is displayed.

Here, the operator selects a predetermined kanji from the kanji displayed in the kanji group display area using the light ben 8. This is determined in step 2, and in step 15 the selected kanji code is displayed in the input sentence display memory 4.
I wonder if it should be converted.Written in the single ■ part. Then, in step 16, the kanji * conversion flag KF is reset,
In step 17, the display switching signal 29 is turned off.

Accordingly, the switch [11112 selects the character code 24 from the input text display memory 4 and supplies it to the character generator 5. Therefore, the entire display surface of the display section 6 becomes the input text display area.

Next, as shown in No. 6811, the operation when the display line of the A-trail is relatively below the display screen will be described. In this case, in step 8 above, register B (the line next to the end line of the kanji group display) is set to register MA.
It is determined that the value is larger than X (the last line of the display screen). In such a case, if an attempt is made to display the kanji group as it is on the display screen of the display unit 6, the kanji group display area will protrude from the display screen and normal display will not be possible. Therefore, in step 1B, from register B to register MA
Subtract X. Therefore, the display mode at this time is the sixth
As shown at 811, kanji group display areas are formed near the last line and near the first line of the display surface Ii.

Next, as shown in FIG. 6C, the operation when the display line of the cursor is on the 1&last line or one line above the last line on the display screen of the display unit 6 will be described.

In this case, in step 6 above, register A(I
It is determined that the display start line of the I character group (the second line from the cursor display line) is larger than the register MAX. In such a case, even if you try to display the kanji group as is on the display screen, it will not be displayed at all. Therefore,
In step 19, register MAX is subtracted from register A.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6C, the kanji group display area is formed from the first line or second line of the display screen.

As described above, in the above-described embodiment, when kana-kanji conversion is not performed, the entire display surface is used as the input text display area. Therefore, the entire display screen can be used effectively. Also, when performing kana-kanji conversion, a kanji group display area is formed from the second line based on the cursor display line, and all kanji groups to be displayed are displayed in that kanji group display area. Kana-Kanji conversion can be performed quickly without the need for a II to update the group of Kanji characters to be displayed as in the past.

In the above embodiment, the kana character to be converted into kana-kanji is identified by moving the cursor and operating the keys on the keyboard 7. This may also be done by key operations.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the kanji group display area is formed from a certain number of lines away from the display line of the cursor. A group display area may be set. In this case, of course, when no kana-kanji conversion is performed, the entire display 1iai is used as the input text display area. Note that when the kana-kanji *, *, or kana single ■ are in the area where a group of kanji is displayed, the kanji group display area may be shifted, for example, to be displayed from the first line of the display screen.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the explanation was given using kana-kanji conversion as an example, but the present invention can also be used for other word conversions (for example, ■ translation) and text conversion.

In addition, in the above embodiment, no display is made at the boundary between the input sentence display area and the kanji group display area, but in order to make the boundary visible, the kanji group display area is framed with ruled lines, etc. You may choose to display it. In this case, a dot counter (well known in the past) that counts how many dots the horizontal scanning line scans in the direction orthogonal to the scanning line in each display line can be used to prevent harmful birds. I can do it. That is, when the judgments in step 11 and step 12 shown in step 511 are made, the ruled line code may be given to the display unit 6, for example, at the timing when the dot counter is counting the display of the first dot.

Further, in the above embodiment, the kanji group display memory 11 having the same memory loss as the input sentence display memory 4 is used, but the kanji group display memory 11 is the kanji group display memory 11 that has the largest kanji maximum among the preset kanji groups. It is also possible to have only a capacity that can store a group of kanji characters having .

As described above, according to the present invention, the two storage means, the sentence storage means and the word group storage means, are provided, and in response to the designation means, the sentences stored in the τ sentence storage means and the single layer group storage means are Since the display is controlled by switching between the stored green and black groups, when word conversion is not specified, the display can be used to display the entire sentence li times. Therefore, the display typeface can be used effectively. Further, since the 18-11 group is displayed on the display screen at once, there is no need to repeat the display update of the single II# as in the conventional case, and the single-2 conversion can be performed quickly.
