Abstract
Abstract A machine translation system has an input section (l), an original storage section (2) for storing an original sentence input by the input section (l), a dictionary section (5) storing linguistical information necessary for translation processing, a translation processing section (4) for obtaining a translated sentence from the original sentence with reference to the linguistical information, a translation storage section (6) for storing the translated sentence, a display section (7, 8) for displaying the original and translated sentences on predetermined display regions, respectively, and an edit processing section for performing edit processing for the original and translated sentences displayed on the display section (7, 8). The edit processing section (3) detects position information of information input by the input section (l), which indicates an input position on a display screen, and discriminates whether or not the position information corresponds to a predetermined new input region on which a newly input original sentence is displayed. When the position information corresponds to the new input region, the edit processing section stores the input original sentence in the original storage section (2).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
241 words
A machine translation system comprising: input means (l) for inputting at least character string information and control information; original storage means (2) for storing an original sentence consisting of the character string information input by said input means (l); dictionary means (5) for storing linguistical information necessary for translation processing of the original sentence; translation processing means (4) for obtaining a translated sentence consisting of character string information from the original sentence stored in said original storage means (2) with reference to the linguistical information stored in said dictionary means (5); translation storage means (6) for storing the translated sentence; display means (7, 8) for displaying the original and translated sentences at predetermined display regions, respectively; and edit processing means (3) for performing edit processing for the original and translation displayed on said display means (7, 8) in accordance with information input by said input means (l), characterized in that said edit processing means (3) includes: position detecting means for detecting position information substantially representing an input position of information input by said input means on a display screen of said display means (7, 8); region discriminating means for discriminating whether or not the position information corresponds to a predetermined new input region on which a newly input original sentence is displayed; and storage control means for storing the original sentence input by said input means in said original storage means when the position information corresponds to the new input region.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
241 words
A machine translation system comprising: input means (l) for inputting at least character string information and control information; original storage means (2) for storing an original sentence consisting of the character string information input by said input means (l); dictionary means (5) for storing linguistical information necessary for translation processing of the original sentence; translation processing means (4) for obtaining a translated sentence consisting of character string information from the original sentence stored in said original storage means (2) with reference to the linguistical information stored in said dictionary means (5); translation storage means (6) for storing the translated sentence; display means (7, 8) for displaying the original and translated sentences at predetermined display regions, respectively; and edit processing means (3) for performing edit processing for the original and translation displayed on said display means (7, 8) in accordance with information input by said input means (l), characterized in that said edit processing means (3) includes: position detecting means for detecting position information substantially representing an input position of information input by said input means on a display screen of said display means (7, 8); region discriminating means for discriminating whether or not the position information corresponds to a predetermined new input region on which a newly input original sentence is displayed; and storage control means for storing the original sentence input by said input means in said original storage means when the position information corresponds to the new input region.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
47 words
A system according to claim l, characterized in that said display means (7, 8) has a display screen on which a cursor is moved to a position where input data will be displayed, and said detecting means detects the position of the cursor on the display screen.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
52 words
A system according to claim l, characterized in that said region discriminating means is means for discriminating as the new input region a region on which no character is displayed from the region of the display screen of said display means (7, 8) on which the original sentence is to be displayed.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
25 words
A system according to claim l, characterized in that said original storage means (2) includes a new input buffer for temporarily storing the new input.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
34 words
A system according to claim l, characterized in that said display means (7, 8) includes means for displaying the original and translated sentences on original and translation display regions on the display screen, respectively.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
33 words
A system according to claim l, further comprising means for displaying information indicating the progress of translation processing by said translation processing means on a predetermined region of said display means (7, 8).
Claim 8
Independent Claim
57 words
A system according to claim l, characterized in that said edit processing means (3) includes means for editing the original sentence or the translated sentence displayed by said display means (7, 8) in the display region designated by the position information, when said position information corresponds to an input region other than the predetermined new input region.
