Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a kana-kanji conversion device that converts a Japanese text input as a kana character string into a kana-kanji mixed sentence and outputs the converted text.

[Prior art]

With the conventional technology, when inputting a kana character string and converting it into a kana-kanji word, there are many kana-kanji words whose readings can be converted from ``measure'', such as the underlined words below. Plan to implement.

・Measure the time.

・Measure distance.

・Weigh the rice.

・Discuss at the meeting.

・Plotting an assassination.

If you do not know which sentence to select without looking at the example sentences, the countermeasure is to perform syntactic and semantic analysis and build a large-scale dictionary for syntactic and semantic analysis, as well as to There is a logical solution to automatically select appropriate words based on the context by performing grammatical processing, but as a practical matter, it is impossible to equip a word processor with such a large dictionary, and grammatical processing is difficult. However, there is ambiguity in this method, and sequential kana-kanji conversion takes too much processing time to be practical.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

The purpose of this system is to reduce human errors in selecting Kana, Kanji, and Kanji words by displaying example sentences when selecting words that have many candidates for homophones and words, and whose usage is ambiguous.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention comprises means for inputting a kana character string, an example dictionary that stores appropriate example sentences regarding words and their usage on a word-by-word basis, and means for cutting out desired kana-kanji words from the selected example sentences.

[Effect]

According to the present invention, a poor character string (for example, "Measure")
) through the input device and performs an action (such as pressing a conversion key) to instruct conversion with examples, the kana-kanji conversion device of the present invention displays a display for selection as shown in FIG. 4.

The user confirms this display and selects the desired word, for example, 2, by selecting a number, etc.
"Mearu" is used.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, details of the present invention will be explained based on illustrated embodiments.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an apparatus to which the kana-kanji conversion method of the present invention is applied. Code 1 in the figure is input section 2 (keyboard, etc.)
This is a central processing unit that controls the entire system based on data input by the controller.

The character string and control code read by the input section 2 are sent to the kana-kanji conversion section 8, where they are converted into kana-kanji.

The Kana character string input by the Kana character string input section 9 is searched in the example dictionary 11, and if the corresponding heading is not found there, an error is detected, but if there is, the content is stored in the example/word storage section 1.
2, and the example portion thereof is displayed on the display section 4 from the example display section 3 by the example output section 13. Based on this, the user selects an example containing the corresponding word using the example candidate selection section B. Based on this information, the word output section 14 extracts word information from the example/word storage section 12 and outputs it. This word information is taken into the document storage section 7 and displayed on the display section 4 by the text display section 6 as text content.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an outline of the contents of the example dictionary. Example Dictionary Heading section 200 for searching by kana character strings and examples/
It is divided into a word section 210, and the example/single th section 210 simply stores Δ information 210α, an example sentence 210b, and position information 210c based on the start and end digits of the corresponding word.

This allows the word/example information to appear in a way that suits the usage pattern.

The heading section 200 stores the character code of the kana character serving as the heading and an address pointer indicating the first address where the corresponding example/word information is stored, so that the corresponding example/word information can be found. or,
The position information 21 DC stores the start and end digits of words in the example sentence 210b, and this information allows only words to be extracted from the example sentence.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the present invention, and shows how, after searching the example dictionary, a plurality of examples as search results are displayed and a kana is selected from among them.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, when selecting a word that has the same sound or precept, has a similar meaning, and is determined by the usage of other words in the sentence, the usage is checked. By being able to select words while selecting words, it is possible to select words more accurately in a human sense, and it also has the effect of helping humans learn how to use words.

Also, in this example, examples of the words are always displayed, but the example dictionary can also be used as a word dictionary if the capacity is secured, so there are two cases: displaying only the words and displaying the examples. It can also be used separately.

Furthermore, expanding this idea, we can use conjugated endings instead of words.
It is also possible to perform grammatical processing taking adjunct words into account and display usage examples for each clause.
