Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a printing control method for homophones in a Japanese word processor having a kana-kanji conversion function.

The task of creating documents in administrative processing in Japan is difficult.

In particular, formal classifications are preferably in printed form;
Currently, it is created using a Japanese typewriter. However, unlike English typewriters, Japanese typewriters are not devices that anyone can use right away; therefore, they are outsourced to professional typists. A Japanese word processor that incorporates data processing technology for these document creation tasks. It has been attracting attention recently. This Japanese word processor is equipped with a keyboard device for kana, alphabets, numbers, symbols, etc., and for the kanji part of the input source text, the reading of the kanji can be entered in kana, and for other parts, the character itself can be entered. There is a Japanese word processor that has a kana-kanji conversion function, in which a processing device converts kana input as the reading of a kanji part into kanji, and outputs the converted character to a display device or a printer device.

However, in Japanese there are countless kanji that have different meanings but are read in the same way (hereinafter such kanji are referred to as homonyms). Therefore, when the reading of a kanji is input in kana from a keyboard device, it is necessary to check whether or not it has been correctly converted into kana-kanji. The present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned needs, and is a printing device that prints output data.
When printing kanji that have homophones or for which homophone selection has not been performed, use a printing control method for homophones in kana-kanji conversion that prints in a different printing format from other printed characters. The purpose is to provide.

That is, the present invention provides a Japanese word processor having a kana-kanji conversion function, in which an input original text containing kanji is inputted in a kana series using a keyboard device, and when the processor performs kana-kanji conversion, it is possible to detect the presence of homophones in the kanji input in kana. To obtain a printing control method for homophones in kana-kanji conversion, in which a tag is added to indicate the existence of a homophone and a homophone, and when a kanji with the tag is printed, it is printed in a format different from other characters. There is a particular thing.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a novel Japanese word processor to which the present invention is applied.

The Japanese word processor shown in the figure is a processing device 10.
, the main memo January 1, the disk storage device 12, the kanji pattern memory 13, the CRT control device 14, and the CRT
It is composed of a display device 15, a printer control device 16, a printer device 17, and a keyboard device 18. The main memory 1 and the disk storage device 12 are connected to the processing device 10 via a memory bus 19. Further, the kanji pattern memo 3, the CRT display control device 14, the printer control device 16, and the keyboard 18 are connected to the processing device 10 via an I/O bus 20. Furthermore, the CRT display controller 14 and printer controller 16 are connected to the Kanji pattern memory 13 via a KPM bus 21. The keyboard device 18 includes keys for alphanumeric characters, kana characters, symbols, symbols, and functions.

In addition, in the Kanji Pattern Memo 1 River 3, the characters mentioned in the commonly used character patterns include not only kanji, but also alphabets, numbers, kana, symbols, etc. The characters listed below have the same meaning. (Have, Iru) are memorized. Furthermore, all character patterns and dictionaries are stored in the disk storage device 12. Furthermore, the main memory 1 stores a program for searching characters stored in the kanji pattern memory 13 and the disk storage device 12, an algorithm for kana-kanji conversion, and the like. The operation of the Japanese word processor described above will be explained below.

First, the input original text is entered by key operation from the keyboard device 18. This key input [■■Enter the reading of the kanji in kana, and for other input sentences, enter the characters themselves.

The key input data is then transferred to the processing device 10. The processing device 10 obtains only kanji (if the input kanji part is a character code converted into kanji by the kana-kanji conversion algorithm stored in the main memo/l river 1). In addition, for key input sentences, the character code is used as is. Then, the processing device 10 uses the two character codes to search for the address of the kanji pattern memo (the river 3 or the disk storage device 12) in which the character pattern information corresponding to the character code is stored. Initially, the Kanji pattern memory 13, which consists of a fast random access memory storing a copy of a portion of the contents of the disk storage device 12, is first searched. If the character pattern corresponding to 3 is not stored, the disk storage device 12 is searched, the character pattern is read out, and written into the kanji pattern memory 13 to be stored in advance.Writing of this character pattern is done in the kanji pattern memo. This is done by replacing the old character pattern in the variable area of the CRT display device 15.
When outputting display characters to C, the processing device 10 outputs display characters to
The address information retrieved as described above is transferred to the RT control device 14, and the CRT control device 14 reads the character pattern from the Kanji pattern memo 3 based on the address information and displays it on the CRT display device.

When printing on the printer device 17, the address information retrieved above is similarly transferred from the processing device 10 to the printer control device 16, and the printer control device 16 reads the character pattern from the kanji pattern memorandum 3 based on the address information. , and is printed by the printer device 17. Next, a print control method of the present invention using the above-mentioned Japanese word processor will be explained with reference to FIG.

The data keyed in using the keyboard device 18 is converted into a sentence containing kanji and kana by the kana-kanji conversion function 30.
Regarding the above-mentioned kana-kanji conversion function 30, "9
It is described in detail under the title "Word Processor Equipped with 0-Kana-Kanji Conversion Function", so it will be omitted here. and,
In the present invention, after the kana-kanji conversion, a tag indicating that the word is a homophone is added to the address information of the word (kanji) for which a homophone is present, and the tag is stored in the document buffer 31 in the main memory 1. Note that when the document buffer overflows, it is stored in the disk storage device 12. When the data stored in the document buffer 31 is to be printed, the address information is transferred to the printer control device 16, and based on the address information, a character pattern is read from the kanji pattern memo; river 3 and stored in the printer buffer 32. . At this time, an attribute bit or code is added to the character pattern constituting the word to which the tag has been added. The printer device 17 performs a printing operation based on the character pattern output from the printer buffer, and when a character to which the attribute bit or code is added is detected, that character is printed according to the attribute specification. . The attribute specifications described here are those that require different printing formats that distinguish homophone characters from other characters. Examples include black and white inverted characters, red characters (printing function with two or more colors). (for printers with Therefore, if there is an attribute print in the output print content, the existence of homophones can be easily recognized. On the other hand, the above function is also taken into consideration in the display device 15 that edits input data.

That is, when displaying data stored in the document buffer 31, address information is transferred to the display control device 14, and the address information is used to display the data stored in the kanji pattern memory 13.
Read character pattern from display buffer 33
Store in. At this time, an attribute bit or code is added to the character pattern constituting the word to which the tag is added.
The display device 15 is connected to the display buffer 33.
The display operation is performed based on the character pattern output from the character pattern, and when a character to which the attribute bit or code is added is detected, that character is displayed according to the attribute specification. Examples of attribute definitions in the display device 15 include display such as plink, reverse, frame, change in brightness, and change in color. The operator then recognizes that homonyms are occurring during data entry.
On the display screen, characters with homophones are displayed as attributes, so they can be easily recognized. When the above-mentioned homophones occur, the operator needs to select the homophones. This operation is performed using the homophone selection key and the homophone next candidate key provided on the keyboard device 18. However, even if the operator forgets to select a certain homophone,
This can be recognized in the print output according to the present invention described above. However, since the tag of the character for which the operator has performed the homophone selection operation is erased, the printout of the printer device is the same as that of other characters.
Also, the display output of the display device is displayed in the same way as other characters. Therefore, according to the print control system of the present invention, undetermined homophones can be recognized at a glance when proofreading the galley printing of a Japanese word processor, and proofreading can be easily checked.
