Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the efficiency of the converting operation of a Kana (Japanese syllabary)-to-Kanji (Chinese character) converter, by informing at first to the operator about the matter when information corresponding to the information inputted into the converter is not stored in a fixed memory. CONSTITUTION:A Kana input key group K1, Kanji conversion key K2, and fixed memory M1 are connected to a CPU and, in addition to the above, a display DIS is also connected to the CPU through a display driver DR. The CPU is constituted of, for example, an 1-chip SLI; and a control section, ROM which stores programs, RAM, Kana input key depressing frequency counter N, etc., are installed to the inside of the CPU. Whenever input operation is performed while the way of reading of a Kanji is inputted through the Kana key group K1, it is retrieved that whether or not the way of reading is the same as that already inputted and Kanji information starting by the way of reading which is already inputted and ended is stored in a memory M1 or not and, when the Kanji information is not stored, the last inputted way of reading is informed to the operator by means of flashing display.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Technical Field) The present invention relates to an information retrieval device that inputs a reading kana and converts it into a kanji corresponding to the reading kana, or inputs an alphabet and converts it into a kanji character.

(Prior art) This type of device, for example, by inputting the reading of a kanji, outputs and displays the kanji corresponding to that reading, kanji that start with that reading, and outputs and displays other readings of the displayed kanji. Various kana-kanji conversion devices have been proposed.

In these conventional kana-kanji conversion devices, reading kana and corresponding kanji pattern information are stored in a fixed storage device, etc., and the same information as the input reading kana is stored in the fixed storage device. information will be output. However, the device? The number of recorded words varies depending on the size of j.
In particular, devices with a small storage capacity often do not store information corresponding to handwritten pronunciations.

(Purpose) The present invention has been made in view of two points. Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to quickly inform the operator if the information corresponding to the input information is not stored. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an information retrieval system (6) for obtaining information.

In order to achieve such an object, the present invention determines whether information corresponding to the information that has been input up to that point is stored or not, each time the mechanical operation is performed while inputting information (17);
If it is not stored, a message to that effect will be displayed.

(Example) Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the overall configuration of a kana-kanji conversion device according to the present invention. In the figure, to the central processing unit mrCPU, 1 is connected to a group of kana human power keys, 2 is connected to a kanji conversion key, and a fixed storage device 6 is connected. Furthermore, display driver O
The medium-temperature arithmetic processing unit CPU, which is the center of the entire configuration and connects the display device DIS through the R, is composed of, for example, one block SI, and the control section stores the program as shown in FIG. 2. It has a built-in only memory (ROM), a random access memory (RA), a kana person key press counter N, etc., which will be described later. In response to the input signal from the key 2, the central processing unit 9 processing unit CPU derives the character information stored in the fixed storage device 6 and the corresponding reverse character pattern information, and performs various signal processing. Furthermore, the display driver output is outputted via the display driver OR, thereby displaying kana, aesthetics, etc. on the display device DIS.

Note that this control is performed using a known ROM method.

In the kana human key group, + is a key corresponding to the Japanese syllabary of ``a'', ``i'', ... is displayed on the display DIS each time the key F is pressed. Kanji conversion key 2 is a conversion key that outputs and displays a kanji with the same reading as the reading input and displayed in the group of kana and human power keys by operation 1. The old fixed writing tfj device stores reading ability of kanji in alphabetical order of reading ability along with pattern information of kanji corresponding to the reading.

In this example, when the reading of a kanji is inputted by 1 in the kana human power key group, each time the input operation is performed, the reading is the same as the reading that has been input so far, and the reading level that has been input so far is the same. The ``Bakujijosu'' (1) that starts with ``is'' stored in the fixed storage device, but if it is not stored, the last inputted reading will be displayed blinking to let the operator know. Eggplant.

In this way, the operation of the configuration 1-Dakana-Kanji conversion device is
This will be explained according to the flowchart.

For convenience of explanation, 2. In the following, we will use the operation of inputting the pronunciation of ``Ishika'' as an example, and ``F-stomach'', which has the same sound as ``I'', is located at address 10 of the fixed storage device ηH1, and is followed by The address has the same first pronunciation as "Iku"
In addition, the pronunciation of "Ishi" is followed by the homophones "stone" and "will", and the same initial pronunciations as "Ishiki" and "Doctor", and the pronunciation of "Ishika" is It is assumed that the corresponding kanji is not memorized.

In the figure, when the first reading "i" is inputted using kanajin kaki-1''llK1 in step IA, the determination result as to whether it is a furnace name key or not is rYES in step IB.
It becomes J and proceeds to step IC. At step IC, the kana key press counter N is incremented by "+1".

Since this is the first key press, the content is (N).
= 1, the process advances to step 2 ID, and the input kana name C is displayed on the display device DIS. In step IE, it is determined whether the content of the kana key press counter N is (N)=1 or not, and it is determined whether or not the kana key is pressed once. In this case, since (N)=1, it becomes rY'ESJ, and the process proceeds to step IF, where the reading information stored in the first address of the fixed fertilizer 0 device old is derived. Here, the content of the kana key press counter N is (N) = 1 in this case, so the first digit information of the derived reading information is compared with the input "i".In this case, the first address is Assuming that the first character of the Japanese syllabary ``A'' is stored, the answer will be ``NO'', proceed to step 2B, and enter the address instruction as 1.
After incrementing, in step 2C, it is determined whether reading information is stored at the incremented address, that is, the address next to the first address. If it is determined as rYESJ, the process proceeds to step 2D, reads the pronunciation information from the designated address, and determines whether or not it is the ``i'' inputted in step 2E. If it is determined that r NOj, the process proceeds to step 4A, where the first character of the retrieved data and the input character "
Is that the power of Tomo?+'i: +j￥ l1lrl
Determine whether the person is old (91, ii) or not. Fixed notes: t, Q If the data called () from device H1 is young, r+vo
”, and continue in step 2 until it is judged as rYESJ.
Repeat the loop of B → 2C → 2A → 2E → 4A. When the designated address 10 is reached, a match between the input "i" and the data in the old fixed storage device is determined, rYEsJ is determined in step 2E, and the process proceeds to step IH. Step IH is a match! Memorize the address of number 10. Subsequently, in step IA, when the reading power of 2 characters 1] "shi" is input by 1 into the kana human power key group, rYEsJ is obtained in step IB, and the process proceeds to step IG, where the kana key press counter N is set to "N". The result is that (N) = 2. As a result, in step IE, (N
)≠1, so “NO” is set as fl+ and step 2
Proceed to A, and press the first character “i” to proceed to step IH
Recall the data stored at the address r10WT. In step 1G, the kana key press counter is (N
)=2, so it is determined whether the second digit in the retrieved data is a manually-written "shi" or not. In this case, since the retrieved data is an "i"-character, it becomes rNOJ, and the process proceeds to step 2B to derive the data at the next address. As mentioned above, the kanji ``ishi'' with the reading ``ishi''
and "Ka, Zhi" are stored in the fixed storage device, so proceed as step 2C → 2D → 2E → IH, and step I
When the address where ``Ishi'' is stored is memorized with H, ``Ishi'' is displayed on the display device DIS, and the next key press is awaited.

Next, when the third character's pronunciation "ga" is input, 2
In the same way as inputting the first character, step IB → 1c → ID → I
Proceed as E → 2A → IG → 2B → 2C → 2D → 2E → 4A.

In step 4A, the input "Ishika" is compared with the data retrieved from the fixed storage device M1. In this case, since the content (N) of the kana key press counter N=3, the input "ka" is compared with the third digit information of the called data. In this case, the device is called "Ishiki" from within the old device.
is called, and the three digits ``ki'' (1) are input.

The power of the input “ka” is 117 extracted data “ki”
It's more pronounced in the Japanese syllabary, so it's judged as rYEsJ. This means that the old fixed storage device does not store any kanji that has the same reading as "Ishika" or has a reading that starts with "Ishika". In step 4B, the ``ka'' part of the input reading data ``Ishika'' displayed on the display device blinks, and the kanji with the reading ability ``Ishika'' and the kanji starting with ``Ishika'' are displayed. The operator is informed that the information is not stored in the fixed storage device. This allows the operator to know that even if he or she presses 2 on the reverse character conversion key, the corresponding % kanji is not memorized and cannot be reversed. I don't have to press the key one time, but do seven in unison.

Further, when the address instruction is incremented in step 2B, if the instruction exceeds the final address, step 2C
It is determined that the data is 17, and the answer is "NO", and the process proceeds to step 4B, in which the human characters are blinked to notify the operator that the kanji corresponding to the input is not stored. In addition, if there is no flashing display of the input pronunciation, press "2 on the kanji conversion key" in step IA, proceed to step 3A via step IB, and memorize in step 1H. Based on the kanji pattern information of the address, the kanji is displayed on the display device DIS.

In addition, in the embodiment described above, if a correction key is provided to cancel inappropriate input characters that are blinking, the correction operation will be easier and more convenient when the blinking display is caused by the input. .

(Effects) As explained above, according to the present invention, while inputting the reading of a kanji, kanji that have the same reading level as the reading that has been input so far and kanji that begin with the reading that has been input so far are fixed. If the character is not stored in the storage device, the last character input is displayed blinking as an inappropriate input character to notify the operator, so the operator can press the kanji conversion key before converting. Compared to conventional devices in which it is known that certain functions cannot be performed, unnecessary key operations are not required, and the efficiency of conversion operations can be increased.

In addition, although the above-mentioned embodiment has been explained by taking kana → kanji conversion as an example, the present invention is not limited to this only, and can of course be applied to a search device that inputs alphabento and converts it into Japanese. It is.
