Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2698458
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To improve the conversion efficiency of examples by adopting the semantics examples of higher priorities which are described in a word dictionary to decide a 1st candidate for KANA (Japanese syllabary)/KANJI (Chinese character) conversion when the conflict of semantics examples occurs for an input read string. CONSTITUTION:A KANA character string, e.g., 'YAOYA NI ITSUTA', etc., inputted via a keyboard KB is stored in a key input buffer area IBUF of a RAM under the control of a CPU. Then the KANA characters like 'YAOYA', etc., are converted into KANJI by reference to a KANA/KANJI conversion dictionary area DIC. The area DIC stores the semantic sorts like the place, the human, etc., of the converted KANJI and the priorities corresponding to the semantic sorts as well as the converted KANJI itself as the stepped likelihood value. An examples dictionary area YDIC is referred to in response to the likelihood value so that an example like 'YAOYA NI ITTA (gone)' not 'YAOYA NI ITTA (said)' is decided as a 1st conversion candidate if 'YAOYA' has the highest priority as a place. Thus the proper KANA/KANJI conversion is carried out for the homonym KANA character strings with high conversion efficiency.
