Kana-kanji conversion processing method

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To reduce the retrieval time up to the 1st stage and to improve the processing speed of document forming work, by providing two stages of a converted candidate retrieval range, extending the range at the 2nd stage if characters that the operator does not intend to output are displayed one after another at the 1st stage, and performing the conversion again. CONSTITUTION:An input preprocessing section 1 recognizes alphanumericals and clause delimiting information in inputted Kana sentences to extract Kana character strings and gives the Kana character strings to a word extracting section 2 as a conversion unit under controls of a conversion controlling section 5. The sections 2, 5 and a language controlling section 3 refer to a disctionary to extract the candidates of word strings permitted as the grammer and sentences mixed with Kanji and Kana are outputted from an output controlling section 4. Inextracting up the word strings, the conversion candidate retrieval range is defined as two states, and if characters that the operator does not want to output are displayed one after another at the 1st stage, the range is extended at the 2nd stage and the candidates are extracted through the conversion again. The retrieval time up to the 1st stage can be reduced and the processing speed of the document forming work can be improved.
