Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document input device, and in particular, when a part of an idiomatic sentence such as an incident, a saying, a saying or a proverb is entered in a kana, the idiomatic sentence in response to this kana input is selectively displayed. Document input device according to the present invention.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the prior art, there is no document input device which allows a user to select a idiom sentence in response to the kana input by inputting a part of the idiom sentence, such as an incident, aphorism, a saying, a proverb. .

As a similar one, for example, in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 62-237568, when a clause or a sentence that briefly describes the situation, meaning, and content is entered in a kana, a common expression related to these is entered. Has been proposed and a text input device has been proposed in which the operator appropriately selects a desired idiomatic expression from these and completes a series of documents.

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned prior art, since it is necessary to input the clauses or sentences that directly indicate the situation, meaning, and content in a complete form without any mistake, it is a common practice to remember. There was a problem that it was not convenient because it was not possible to extract an idiomatic sentence whose sentence or kanji notation was unknown.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art and to select a desired idiom sentence by simply inputting a part of the idiom sentence. To provide a device.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention is characterized in that the following means are taken. (1) Kanji notation of idiomatic sentences and idiomatic dictionary storing the kana readings thereof, input means for inputting a search character string, storage means for storing the input search character string, and stored search character string When a plurality of reading kana are searched by the searching means for searching for the reading kana in the idiomatic dictionary beginning with, and when the plurality of reading kana is searched by the searching means, the search character string is crossed over the search character string to a character position common to each reading kana Complementary means for complementing, and display means for displaying the search character string after completion, the search means, when the next search character string following the search character string after completion is continuously input, the search character string and The phonetic dictionary including the next search character string is searched from the idiom dictionary, and the complementing unit outputs the Kanji notation to the display unit when the searching unit searches for the only phonetic kana. (2) Idiom dictionary that stores the kanji notation of the idiomatic sentence and its phonetic kana, input means for inputting the search character string, storage means for storing the input search character string, and the stored search character string Search means for searching the idiom sentence corresponding to the Yomikana starting from the idiom sentence dictionary, idiom sentence storage means for storing all idiom sentences searched by the search means, and display means for displaying the memorized idiom sentence. , And an idiomatic sentence designating means for designating a desired idiomatic sentence from a plurality of displayed idiomatic sentences.

[0007]

Operation According to the above configuration (1), when the operator inputs a few characters at the beginning of the reading kana of the idiomatic sentence as a search character string, all reading kana starting from this search character string is searched, and each reading kana is added. The search string is completed up to the common character position. When the next search character string (next search character string) is input here, the search character string exceeds the new search character string consisting of the search character string and the next search character string up to the character position common to each reading kana. Is complemented. When such a search character string is finally searched for by the search means by repeating such a complement of the search character string, this kanji notation, i.e., an idiomatic sentence is output to the display means. In this way, if the desired idiom is selected by repeating the input and complement of the search character string, the number of characters input by the operator is reduced and the efficiency of document creation is improved.

According to the above configuration (2), when the operator inputs the first few characters of the reading kana of the idiom as a search character string, all idioms starting from this search character string are searched and displayed. The operator can easily select a desired idiom while referring to the display without inputting all the idioms.

[0009]

FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of a first embodiment of the present invention.

From the input means 1, the first few characters of the reading kana of the idiomatic sentence are input as a search character string. The search character string storage unit 2 stores the search character string input from the input unit 1. The search means 3 searches the idiom dictionary 4 based on the search character string stored in the search character string storage means 2 and passes the search result to the complementing means 5. The complementing means 5, as described later, complements the search character string according to the search result. The display unit 6 displays the search character string complemented by the complementing unit 5 and the finally selected idiom sentence.

As shown in FIG. 2, the idiom sentence dictionary 4 is composed of a idiom sentence reading kana part 41 and a kanji writing part 42. In the reading kana portion 41, the idiom sentence reading kana is registered and kanji writing. The kanji notation of an idiomatic sentence is registered in the section 42. In addition, it is also possible to register in the idiomatic sentence dictionary 4 together with the reading and kana and kanji notation of the idiomatic sentence, along with their meanings and examples.

[0012] Here, the idiom, "Awesomeness after fighting"
An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail by taking the case of displaying as an example. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of this embodiment.

In step S1, the operator inputs from the input means 1 several characters at the beginning of the reading kana of the idiom "too much fight ..." In step S2, the input search character string "too much fight" is stored in the search character string storage means 2 and displayed on the display means 6 in a shaded state as shown in FIG.

When the operator gives a search instruction, in step S3, the search means 3 searches the idiom sentence dictionary 4 based on the search character string "too much fight". Step S4
In the reading kana part 41, the search string "kenkasugi"
When the idiom containing "is found, it is determined in step S5 whether or not there is only one idiom containing the search character string" too much fight ". If there is only one, in step S6, the kanji notation of the idiomatic sentence corresponding to the phonetic kana is displayed on the display means 6 instead of the search character string "squash".

On the other hand, if there are a plurality of idiomatic sentences including the search character string "too much fight" as in the case of this embodiment, the search character string "too much fight" is delivered to the complementing means 5 in step S7. In step S8, the complementing means 5 goes beyond the search character string "too much" to a character position common to each idiomatic sentence, in other words, to a character position that can be determined only by the search character string "too much". Display means 6 complementing columns
Hand over to.

That is, as shown in FIG. 2, there are only two idioms that include the search character string "kenkasugi" as a reading kana, "kenkasugikara no karabari" and "kensukagi nobouchigiri". If there is a string up to and including the word “too much”, it means that inputting only “too much” as a search string is equivalent to entering “too much”.

Then, the complementing means 5 complements the search character string "too much fight" with the character string "teno" and passes the complemented character string "too much fight" to the display means 6. In step S9, as shown in FIG. 5, the complemented character string "too much fight" is displayed on the display means 6 in a shaded state. This shade display is the string "Too quarreled"
Does not display the entire idiomatic sentence, but a character string follows, which means that it is possible to repeat the same processing as above to further complement.

Thereafter, the processing returns to step S1,
When the operator inputs the next search character string "ka" following the complemented character string "Too quarreled", the character string "Too quarreled too" is displayed on the display means 6 in step S2 as described above. .

In step S3, the idiom sentence dictionary 4 is searched based on the search character string "Is it too quarreled?". When an idiomatic sentence containing the search character string "too much fight" is found in the reading kana part 41 in step S4, step S4
In 5, it is determined whether or not there is only one idiomatic sentence including the search character string "too much fight".

In the present embodiment, since the corresponding idiom is only one of "I'm too quarreling because of karabari", the process goes to step S6. At step S6, the kanji notation "Is too arrogant is too loud." ] Is displayed on the display means 6 instead of the search character string “Is it too quarreled?”.

According to the present embodiment, the desired idiom is selected and displayed in a complete form by repeating the input and completion of the search character string, so that the desired idiom can be displayed even if there is no accurate knowledge of the idiom. Idioms can be searched quickly. Further, since the number of characters input by the operator is reduced, the efficiency of document creation is improved.

FIG. 6 is a functional block diagram of the second embodiment of the present invention, in which the same symbols as those used in the previous description represent the same or equivalent portions.

The search means 3 searches the conventional sentence dictionary 4 on the basis of the search character string stored in the search character string storage means 2,
All the retrieved idioms are stored in the idiom sentence storage means 8.
The display unit 6 displays a list of idiomatic sentences accumulated in the idiomatic sentence storage unit 8. The idiom sentence specifying means 7 selects one of the idiom sentences listed.

Here, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail by taking the case of displaying the idiom, "Attacking after quarrel," as in the above case.

FIG. 7 is a flow chart showing the operation of this embodiment. In step S1, the operator inputs, from the input means 1, the three characters "kenka" as a search character string as the first few characters of the idiom "too much fight ...".
In step S2, the input search character string "kenka" is stored in the search character string storage means 2 and displayed on the display means 6 in a shaded state as shown in FIG.

In step S3, the search character string "kenka"
The idiomatic sentence dictionary 4 is searched based on. Step S4a
Then, all idiomatic sentences including the search character string "kenka" at the beginning of the phonetic kana are accumulated in the idiomatic sentence storage means 8.

In step S5, it is judged whether or not there is only one idiomatic sentence retrieved and stored, and if there is only one idiomatic sentence, then in step S13 the idiomatic sentence is said search character string "kenka". Is displayed instead of.

Further, if there are a plurality of idiomatic sentences retrieved and stored, the stored idiomatic sentences are displayed as a list of idiomatic sentences in a window area or the like provided in a part of the display means 6 in step S11. It In step S12,
When the operator refers to the display means 6 and operates an appropriate means such as a keyboard or a mouse to pick a desired idiom sentence, the idiom sentence designating means 7 passes the picked idiom sentence to the display means 6. In step S13, the picked idiom is displayed in place of the search character string "kenka".

According to this embodiment, when a part of an idiomatic sentence is input, all idiomatic sentences including the character string are displayed. Therefore, the operator can select a desired idiomatic sentence from the displayed plural idiomatic sentences. Will be able to. Therefore,
The operator can search for a desired idiom without needing accurate knowledge about the idiom, and can easily use the idiom.
