Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a character processor capable of easily expressing a character or symbol through synthesizing a plurality of patterns, by utilizing a KANA-KANJI converting function and a learning function. CONSTITUTION:In the case of synthesizing a symbol or character based on a plurality of codes, each of required elements is made to be a second code corresponding to a first code, then the codes are arrayed in a predetermined synthesizing order, and the arrayed codes are stored into a dictionary in a first storage means 2. When the first code is keyed, a first controlling means 4 calls the second code arrayed at the first position, and displays the second code on a display means 6. Simultaneously, a second controlling means 5 calls the second code arrayed at the next position from the dictionary, and inputs the second code into a second storage means. With the first code subsequently inputted through the key input means 1, the first controlling means 4 calls a second synthetic element, and directly displays the element on the display means 6. Simultaneously, the first controlling means 4 calls a third synthetic element arrayed at the next position from the dictionary, and inputs the element into the second storage means 3. Thus, the required component elements are sequentially displayed on the display means 6 according to key-inputs of the first codes, and the character or symbol can be easily formed from a plurality of the synthetic elements.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (a)! BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a character processing device, and more particularly to a character processing device that expresses characters and symbols that cannot be expressed with the size of a single unit pattern by combining them with a plurality of patterns.

(B) Conventional technology Conventionally, in this type of character processing device, for characters and symbols that cannot be expressed with the size of one unit pattern, they are divided into multiple patterns and input using external character input. ing.

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention However, in such a character processing device, the operator must memorize the codes assigned to the divided patterns one by one, and if the operator forgets them, the character This caused the inconvenience of not being able to perform processing operations.

This invention was made in consideration of these circumstances, and by using the so-called kana-kanji conversion function and learning function, it is possible to easily express one character or symbol by synthesizing multiple patterns. The present invention provides a character processing device capable of processing characters. -(d) Means for solving the problems FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the present invention. 1st
In the figure, 1 is a key input means, 2 is a first storage means storing a dictionary in which a plurality of first codes and one or more second codes corresponding to the first codes are arranged in a predetermined order, and 3 is an input means. 4 is a second storage means for storing the second codes corresponding to the inputted first code from the second storage means and outputting the second codes in order of newest to memory; The first control means calls the second code from the first storage means in accordance with the arrangement order when the second code is not stored in the second storage means; 5 calls the second code when the second code is called from the first storage means or the second storage means; a second control means for calling a second code arranged next to the second code entered from the first storage means and inputting it into the second storage means; 6 is called by the key-input first code and the first control means; 7 is a display means for displaying the second code, and designation means 7 for specifying the position of the code to be displayed by key input.

(E) Effect In Figure 1, when one symbol or character is synthesized using multiple codes (patterns), each element necessary for the synthesis is set as a second code, corresponding to the first code, and set in a predetermined synthesis order. are arranged and stored in the dictionary of the first storage means 2. Then, when the first code is key-input, the first control means 4 controls the second code arranged first from the first storage means 2.
The code, ie the first composite element, is called and the composite element is displayed by the display means 6. At the same time, the second
The control means 5 calls the second code (second composite element) arranged next to the second code just called out from the dictionary of the first storage means 2 and inputs it into the second storage means. Therefore, if the same first code is continuously input into the key input means l, the first
The control means 4 retrieves the second composite element from the second storage means 3, and the retrieved second component is immediately displayed in the display means 6.
will be displayed. At the same time, the first control means 4 selects the third composite element arranged next to the second composite element from the dictionary of the first storage means 2.
The composite element is called and input into the second storage/storage means 3. Next, when the first code is input from the key input means 1 in the same way as described above, the first control means 4 calls the third composition element from the second storage means 3, and the called third element is displayed on the display means. When all necessary composite elements are sequentially displayed on the display means 6 in the same manner as shown in FIG. 6, each composite element is placed at a predetermined position by the specifying means 7. By key-inputting the first code in this way, the necessary constituent elements are sequentially displayed on the display means 6, and characters and symbols can be easily formed from a plurality of composite elements.

(f) Example The present invention will be described in detail below based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

This invention is not limited by this.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, 11 is a keyboard composed of character keys and function keys including conversion keys; 12 is a display that displays input characters and converted characters;
3 a character generator that accommodates character patterns including ephemeral characters and symbols, 14 a CPU, 15 a text buffer that stores input characters and converted characters, 1
6 is a conversion device that converts input characters into corresponding characters and symbols; 17 is a memory that stores a conversion dictionary; and 18 is a learning buffer that stores converted characters and symbols. shows an example of the dictionary in the memory 17, in which first codes (inputted from the character keys of the keyboard 11) are arranged in alphabetical order, and one or more second codes corresponding to them are arranged, for example. , the elements obtained by dividing the integral symbol into three corresponding to the first code "integra" are arranged in order as the second code, and the square root symbol is divided into three corresponding to the first code "root". Each divided element is arranged in order as a second code. Fig. 4 shows an example of characters and symbols stored in the character generator 13. Fig. 5 shows an example of characters and symbols stored in the learning buffer 18. An example of an integral symbol or a square root symbol is shown below.

The operation in such a configuration will be explained using the flowchart shown in FIG. When creating an integral symbol, first, in step 60, the first symbol "integra" in FIG. 3 is input using the character keys on the keyboard 11, and it is displayed on the display 12 Step 61). Next, when the conversion key on the keyboard 11 is pressed (step 62), the CPU 14 searches the first code column of the dictionary in the memory 17 (FIG. 3). In this case, "Integura" exists in the first code field (step 65),
Since it does not exist in the learning buffer 18 yet (step 6
6.67), the first of the second codes corresponding to "Integura" is called from the dictionary in the memory 17 (Fig. 3) (
Step 69) and displayed on the display 12 (Step 70). In this case, there is no need to press the next candidate key on the keyboard 11 (step 71), so when the confirmation key on the keyboard 11 is pressed (step 73), the next candidate key on the keyboard 11 is pressed (step 73). The second corresponding second code is stored in the learning buffer 18 (
Step 74). Next, when "Integura" is keyed in again (step 60), it is displayed on the display 12 (step 61), and when the conversion key is pressed (step 62), the dictionary in the memory 17 is searched. (Step 64). The corresponding code exists in the memory 17 (step 65), and also exists in the learning buffer 18 (step 65).
Steps 66 and 67), the learning buffer 18 is prepared to output each code in the order in which they are most recently stored (step 68), so the most recently stored code, ie, "integra" in FIG. The second corresponding second code is called from the learning buffer 18 (step 6).
9) is displayed on the display 12 (step 70)
. Next, in this case as well, there is no need to press the next candidate key (step 71), so when the confirmation key is pressed (step 73), the key corresponding to the dictionary in the memory 17, that is, "integra" in FIG. The third of the second codes is stored in the learning buffer 18 (step 74). Next, "Integura" is input (step 60), and when the conversion key is pressed (step 62), the third digit of the second code corresponding to "Integura" in FIG. Display 12
will be displayed. In other words, the above operation is 3
The first digit of the second code, which corresponds to ``Integura'' in Figure 3, is input twice. Second. The third code will be displayed in succession on the display 12, so enter these codes on the keyboard 11.
Integral symbols are synthesized by rearranging them as shown in FIG. 6(a) by operating the cursor. Similarly, for the square root symbol, 3 corresponds to "root" in Figure 3.
By using two second codes, the signals are synthesized as shown in FIG. 6(b) by the same operation as described above.

(g) Effects of the Invention According to the present invention, it is possible to easily synthesize codes that cannot be expressed in the size of one character by inputting the code name a predetermined number of times.
