Abstract

PURPOSE:To make the new input of phonetic representation unnecessary, and to simplify operation by displaying the reading of an ideographic character string on an original inputted before, and substituting surely the phonetic representation for it on the reception of the substitution executing direction of a corrector. CONSTITUTION:A phonetic representation substituting means 800 retrieves the index part 720 of a phonetic representation conversion table 710 as considering a character string from a head character positioned by a cursor to a character at which the phonetic representation is found to be a key word, for instance, considering 'HINOKI' (Chinese character) to be the key word in the case of the character string of 'HINOKI' (Chinese character), and it finds the character string 721 of 'HINOKI' (Chinese character). Further, in conformity to directory information to show the kind of the phonetic representation, and by obtaining the pointer of the objective phonetic representation by the summing processing of the pointer 722 to show a place where the phonetic representation of a code is stored and a relative pointer 723 or 724, etc., for instance, by the pointer obtained respectively by 'Pn' in the case of the directory information of 'HIRAGANA' (cursive Japanese syllabary), by 'Pn+n1' in the case of 'KATAKANA' (square form of Japanese syllabary), and by 'Pn+n2' in the case of 'Roman letters', it calls out 'HINOKI' (cursive Japanese syllabary), 'HINOKI' (square form of Japanese syllabary), and 'hinoki', and displays it on a display means 600.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a manuscript input device, and more particularly to manuscript input devices such as word processors and computer typesetting machines.

[Conventional technology]

Conventional manuscript input devices have various functions for correcting input manuscript information. For example, these functions include insertion by inserting a character string, deletion by removing a character string, and correction by replacing a character string with another character string.

Although the correction of manuscript information can be done simply by a combination of insertion and deletion, when correction work is performed using these two methods, for example, in the character string "Device configuration of ...",
When correcting "apparatus" to "equipment," two operations are required: deleting "apparatus" and inserting "equipment" before "configuration," which is cumbersome. In order to simplify this operation, there is a function called correction that executes deletion and insertion operations using shortened instruction information.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Conventional manuscript input devices use the above-mentioned correction function when restoring phonetic characters from an ideographic character string on a manuscript that has already been input, but this requires the effort of inputting the phonetic characters to be replaced. At this time, if you do not know how to read the text, it is inconvenient to have to ask the author, etc., and in many cases the phonetic notation is used instead of the shooting method, which requires work such as making inquiries and looking up a Chinese-Japanese dictionary. It has the following drawbacks.

The purpose of the present invention is to correct input manuscript information by
A manuscript input device that can reduce the input work of inputting phonetic characters when correcting ideograms such as kanji to phonetic characters such as kana, and is simple and can be performed without knowing how to read. It is about providing.

[Means to solve the problem]

The manuscript input device of the present invention includes an input means for inputting manuscript information and instruction information, a display means for displaying the manuscript information and instruction information inputted by the input means, and a phonetic display based on the instruction information from the input means. control means for distinguishing between the processing of the above processing and some other processing, as well as instruction information of an ideographic string for the manuscript information displayed on the display means and the type of phonetic to be converted, such as hiragana, hiragana, romaji, etc. After receiving instruction information indicating execution of replacement from the input means and displaying the phonetic sounds of the instructed ideographic character string on the display means, receiving instruction information indicating replacement execution from the input means, and displaying the instructed ideographic character string. The device is configured to include a phonetic replacement means for replacing the displayed phonetic sound with the displayed phonetic phonetic sound.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the original input device of the present invention. The manuscript input device shown in FIG.
00, control means 200, phonetic substitution means 800, phonetic conversion table 710, display means 600, and phonetic and ideographic conversion means 300 for information input. Radical selection input means 400
．． It is configured to include code input means 500.

Further, FIG. 2 is an information configuration diagram showing an example of the phonetic conversion table 710 of FIG. 1.

When there is a character string whose phonetic expression you want to know in the manuscript displayed on the display means 600 of FIG.
By placing the cursor at the beginning of the character string that you want to display phonetically from , and sending a command to indicate the phonetic type, such as hiragana, 1, or romaji, the control means 200 can:
Phonetic substitution means 800, input means 100 and display means 6
00 and operate it.

Therefore, the phonetic replacement means 800 uses the character string from the first character positioned by the cursor until the phonetic character is found as a keyword, and for example, if the character string is "Hinoki", the second character string is set with "Hinoki" as a keyword. The index section 720 of the phonetic conversion table 710 shown in the figure is searched to find the character string 721 for "Hinoki". Furthermore, according to the instruction information indicating the type of phonetic sound, a pointer 7 indicating the location where the phonetic sound of the chord is stored.
22 and the relative pointer 723 or 724 to obtain the target phonetic pointer.
The phonetic sounds 731, 732,
733, "Hinoki" and "Hinoki 4.rh" respectively.
inoki J 733 is called and displayed on the display means 600, and instruction information for conversion execution is received from the input means 100, thereby replacing the ideographic character string on the document that has already been input with the designated phonetic character.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the manuscript input device of the present invention can display the reading of an ideographic character string on a manuscript that has already been input, receive a replacement execution instruction from a corrector, and reliably replace it with a phonetic character string. This eliminates the need to newly input phonetic sounds, which has the effect of simplifying the operation. In addition, the manuscript input device of the present invention can know the phonetic sound of any ideographic character string on the displayed manuscript when you want to know how to read it, so it also has the educational effect of teaching you how to read it. have.
