Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the burden of an operator at the time of inputting a sentence by reducing a key operation at the time of the movement of a cursor, which is required for correcting an error. CONSTITUTION:Since a conversion operation in continuous sentence input becomes one break for the generation of a documnet, cursor position information when the character is newly inputted immediately after all inputted KANA (Japanese syllabary) character strings are converted into a KANJI (Chinese character)/KANA mixed sentence is held. Then, the cursor can be skip-moved to a previously described position immediately after all the newly inputted KANA characters are converted and the key operation accompanied by the movement of the cursor, which is required for correcting the conversion error, is reduced. Then, the burden of the operator can be reduced.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Field of Industrial Application This invention relates to a document processing device such as a Japanese word processor.

(b) If a conversion error is found when converting an input kana character string into a sentence containing kanji and kana using conventional techniques such as kana-kanji conversion, it is necessary to correct it by reconversion or conversion after re-input. There is. After conversion, when the conversion result is confirmed, in order to correct the conversion result, it is necessary to move the cursor, which is a display indicator, to the correction location. The cursor movement function in the vertical direction, the cursor skip function to the beginning and end of the line, etc.) was used to perform movement operations (Japanese word processor 5WP-380 manufactured by Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd., see the operating manual).

(C) Problem to be Solved by the Invention When inputting text by converting kanji, it is essential to correct conversion errors 9 as long as the conversion rate is not 100%. When correcting a conversion error, the operator must move the cursor to the location of the conversion error and then re-convert or re-input. Therefore, for example, [I look forward to the development of the New Tokyo International Airport. Even though I tried inputting the pronunciation to get the sentence mixed with kanji ('/'), it was converted to 'I look forward to the development of the Percolation Valley re-airport/ ('/' is the conversion instruction operation)'. If you make a mistake, in order to reconvert or re-enter, press the cursor movement key 14 times from the position where you last performed the conversion instruction operation (the position next to the character Uru) until you reach above the ``immersion''. The cursor had to be moved, which created an operational burden until error correction operations were performed. Therefore, in order to input sentences smoothly, that is, to improve input efficiency, it is necessary to reduce the number of key operations required for moving the cursor required for error correction, and to reduce the burden on the operator when inputting sentences.

(d) Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides an input means for inputting a kana character string having reading information, a conversion means for converting the input kana character string into a sentence containing kanji and kana. Conversion instruction means for instructing conversion to a sentence containing kanji and kana, display means for displaying the kana character string and the sentence containing kanji and kana, cursor means for indicating the input or indicated position of the display means, and a new or input kana character string. The position of the cursor means when a kana character string is input after it has been converted, and the position of the cursor means immediately after all the input kana character strings have been converted into 9 sentences including kanji and kana are held as position information. a cursor position storage means, a moving means for moving the cursor means;
determination means for determining whether the instruction for the movement operation was made immediately after all of the input Kana character strings were converted into Kanji-Kana mixed sentences, and the Kana character string input by the determination means is When determining that the movement instruction was given immediately after the conversion into 9 sentences with kana, the movement means:
The method is characterized in that the cursor means is moved to a position where reading information corresponding to the converted Kanji-kana mixed sentence is input based on position information of the cursor means held in the cursor position storage means.

(E) Effect As mentioned above, when the discriminating means determines that a movement instruction has been given immediately after the input kana character string has been converted into a sentence containing kanji and kana, the moving means retains the cursor position in the cursor position storage means. By moving the cursor means to the position where the reading information corresponding to the nine converted Kanji-kana mixed sentences is input based on the position information of the cursor means, all the inputted kana character strings are converted to Kanji-kana mixed sentences. Immediately after the cursor is inputted, the cursor means is moved by one key operation to the cursor position at the time the character was input after the new or inputted kana character string has been converted.

(F) Embodiment Hereinafter, one embodiment of the document processing apparatus according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a portion of the document processing apparatus of the present invention relating to cursor control. Reference numeral 1 denotes an input unit, which includes a keyboard, etc., through which characters and instructions for conversion operations and cursor skip operations are input. Reference numeral 2 denotes a control unit to which characters and instructions inputted from the input unit 1 are given, and the control unit s2 controls the data exchange between each part of the device according to the instructions, and transfers the input character string to the CRT. The signal is output to a display section 3 consisting of a display, liquid crystal display, plasma display, etc.

4 Cursor position information at the time when a new character is input (character input after moving the cursor, etc.) in the ephemeral Kanji control unit,
That is, the line and column information on the text shown in FIG. The cursor position information is stored in the cursor position storage buffer 5. The cursor position storage buffer 5 can store two pieces of information, and the data is stored in a first-in first-out manner. 6
is a key discrimination unit, and when a cursor skip instruction is received from the input unit 1, the control unit 2 sends a command to the key discrimination unit 6 to determine whether the instruction is an instruction immediately after a conversion operation. It will be done. Reference numeral 7 denotes a cursor position control unit, which is activated when the key determination unit 6 determines that the cursor skip instruction is an instruction immediately after all inputted kana character strings are converted into sentences containing kanji and kana. In this embodiment, since data is stored in the cursor position storage buffer 5 in a first-in first-out manner, the cursor position control unit 7 reads the cursor position information stored in the first storage area. is displayed, and the cursor is skipped to the position indicated by it.

If the cursor position memory buffer 5 is
When data is not stored due to first out, a, which is stored in the cursor position storage buffer 5,
A cursor position determination unit (not shown) determines the position indicated by b that is closer to the beginning of the sentence, that is, the smaller line, or if the lines are the same, the smaller column, and moves the cursor to the position indicated by it. You may change it to

A procedure for moving a cursor using the document processing apparatus configured as described above will be explained using a specific example.

3(a) to 3(g) show an example of the CR7 screen of the display section 3 in FIG. 1. Note that the Kana-Kanji conversion of the document processing device used in this example has a well-known natural conversion function that automatically outputs and finalizes the conversion result from the beginning when a character is input that meets predetermined conditions. .

First, as shown in FIG. 3(a), operate the character keys on the input section 1 to select "Watashi wa" from the 1st row and 2nd column position on the display section 3.
When a character string such as , etc. is input, the position where the new character is input (cursor position information A (1, 2)) is stored in area a of the cursor position storage buffer 5. Next, when a kanji conversion operation is performed on the reading input by operating the kana-kanji conversion instruction key of the input unit 1, the kana-kanji control unit 4 performs the conversion operation (FIG. 3(b)) and also performs the conversion. The operated position (cursor position information B (1, 6)) is stored in the cursor position storage buffer 5. At this time, the already stored cursor position information A (1, 2) is shifted to area a of the cursor position storage buffer 5, and the cursor position information B is stored in area a of the cursor position storage buffer 5.

Next, from the input unit 1, as shown in FIG. 3(c) to FIG. 3(e), the user continuously inputs the words ``Shinto Kokusai Kukou no Konko Hatten''. At that time, the above-mentioned natural conversion function automatically changes ``Shindo Kyougoku'' and ``Saikukou no'' to ``Penetration Gorge'' (Figure 3 d)) and ``F-most Airport'' (Figure 3 (e)), respectively. After being converted to , it is confirmed.

The part of ``Kongo no Hattenwo'' which has not been converted into a sentence containing kanji and kana is converted by the kanji conversion instruction operation as shown in FIG. 3(f). At this point, the cursor position information C
Since (1, 34) is stored in area a of the cursor position storage buffer 5, the cursor position information A (1, 2) is erased from the entire area by first-in/first-out. Next, the input unit 1 instructs cursor skip in order to correct the erroneous conversion part ``amount of penetration canyon'' to ``New Tokyo International''. Then, the key determination unit 6 determines that the cursor skip instruction is an instruction immediately after the conversion operation,
The cursor position control unit 7 starts and moves the cursor to the position stored in the area of the cursor position storage buffer 5 (cursor position information B (1, 6) in this example) (see FIG. 3). g)). Therefore, the operator can immediately perform a reconversion operation based on this cursor movement.

Immediately? ,,The present invention focuses on the fact that the conversion operation in continuous text input is a break in document creation, and new characters are input immediately after all input kana character strings are converted to sentences containing kanji and kana. Retains cursor position information. It also enables the cursor to be skipped to the above-mentioned position immediately after all newly inputted kana characters have been converted, reducing the number of key operations required to move the cursor to correct conversion errors. This will reduce the burden on people.

Figures 4(a) to 4(g) show what happens when you enter ``I want to go to school and go to school'' after ``I am'' on the same screen as in Figure 3. This is an example, and the point at which the last period is input (Figure 4 (
In e)), the natural conversion function converts all input kana character strings into sentences containing kanji and kana. The cursor position information C at that time is stored in the cursor position storage buffer 5 in the same way as the position immediately after the conversion operation in the example of FIG. 3, and the same processing is performed.

(g) Effects of the Invention As described in detail above, according to the present invention, when correcting a conversion error, it is possible to reduce the operational load on the operator in moving the cursor, and improve operability.
