After setting the specific mode one by one, the number of the desired pictorial symbol is found out, and the input operation is complicated because the number is input to make a selection.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a text creation device capable of inputting pictorial symbols based on kana input.

<Means for Solving Problems> The sentence creating apparatus of the present invention includes an input means for inputting kana data, a kanji conversion instructing means for instructing to convert kana data into kanji data, and a kana data for pictorial symbols. It stores pictorial symbol conversion instruction means for instructing conversion into data, a kanji dictionary storing kana data and kanji data corresponding to the kana data, and kana data and pictorial symbol data corresponding to the kana data. In response to an instruction of the pictogram dictionary and the instruction of the kanji conversion instruction means or the instruction of the pictogram conversion instruction means, the kanji data or pictogram data corresponding to the kana data input from the input means is converted into the kanji dictionary or the picture. In addition to outputting by referring to the symbol dictionary, in the pictogram conversion according to the pictogram conversion instruction, when there is no corresponding pictogram data in the pictogram dictionary, It is provided with a converting means for referring to a character dictionary and outputting corresponding kanji data, and a sentence storing means for storing the kanji data or pictogram data outputted from the converting means in place of the inputted kana data.

<Operation> In the sentence creating device of the present invention, in response to an instruction from the kanji conversion instruction means or an instruction from the pictogram conversion instruction means, the kanji data or pictogram data corresponding to the kana data input from the input means is converted into a kanji dictionary or In addition to outputting by referring to the pictogram dictionary, in the pictogram conversion by the pictogram conversion instruction, when there is no corresponding pictogram data in the pictogram dictionary, the corresponding kanji data is output by referring to the kanji dictionary. It is a thing.

<Example> A detailed description will be given below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a Japanese word processor which is an embodiment of the sentence creating apparatus of the present invention. In the figure,
Reference numeral 1 denotes a keyboard as an input means for inputting text data and the like, and on the keyboard 1, character keys such as alphanumeric and kana keys and control keys are arranged. Reference numeral 2 denotes a CPU (central processing unit) that controls the respective devices connected by characters and edit codes input from the keyboard 1. Three
Is a program memory in which the control program of the CPU is stored. 4 is CP for the text data input from the keyboard 1.
Memory to store via U2. 5 is a kana-kanji dictionary that stores kana character code that is kana data and kanji code that is kanji data corresponding to this kana character code. Reference numeral 6 denotes a kana picture signal conversion table, which is a characteristic configuration of the present invention, and stores a kana character code and a character code of a pictorial symbol corresponding to the kana character code.

Reference numeral 7 is a kana-kanji conversion unit that searches the kana-kanji dictionary 5 and reads out a kanji code corresponding to the kana character code including the input phrase-separating signal, and a kana-kanji mixed sentence including the kana character code, kanji code, and segment-breaking signal. Of the code signal of the kana-kanji mixed sentence by searching the picture signal conversion table 6 and also reading out the character code of the picture symbol corresponding to the kana character code including the input phrase segmentation signal. Generate as an element.

A character generator (CG) 8 stores a corresponding character pattern for each kanji code, kana character code, and pictorial character code. Reference numeral 9 is a CRT for displaying and outputting input sentences and the like. A printer 10 prints out an input sentence and the like.

Next, the operation of the embodiment will be described with reference to the flow chart of FIG. 2 in the case of converting a "fune" into a corresponding pictorial symbol.

When "Fu" which is the first character of "Fune" is input from the keyboard 1 (S1), the kana character code indicating "Fu" is C
It is stored in the RAM 4, which is a text memory, via the PU 2 (S2). By performing the same operation for the second character "ne", the kana character code indicating "fune" is stored in the RAM 4 (S1, 2).

Here, when the conversion key for converting kana-kanji provided on the keyboard 1 is operated (S3, 4), the kana-kanji conversion unit 7 refers to the kana-kanji dictionary 5 based on the command of the CPU 2 and indicates a kanji code indicating "ship". And a Kanji pattern corresponding to the Kanji code is obtained from CG8, and the CRT9 which is the display unit is obtained.
To display.

On the other hand, when the pictorial symbol conversion key for pictorial symbol conversion provided on the keyboard 1 is operated in S3, the kana character code (group) stored in the RAM 4 based on the instruction of the CPU 2.
Is transferred to the kana-kanji conversion unit 7 (S5, 6), and the kana-kanji conversion unit 7 retrieves the character code of the pictorial symbol corresponding to this kana-character code from the kana-pictorial symbol conversion table 6 (S).
7). When the corresponding pictogram is found as a result of the search (S8)
Reads out the character code of the pictorial symbol from the pictorial symbol conversion table 6 (S9).

In the present embodiment, a pictograph as shown in FIG. 5 is obtained as the pictograph of "Fune", but which is selected is determined by repeating the conversion operation. When the desired pictorial symbol is selected, the character code of the corresponding pictorial symbol is replaced with the corresponding kana character code stored in the RAM 4 and stored (S10). FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of this replacement.

If the corresponding pictorial symbol is not found in the pictorial symbol conversion table 6 in S8, normal kana-kanji conversion processing is performed.

By repeating the above operation, text and pictograms are input, and the text data including pictograms are sequentially stored in the RAM 4.
And is displayed on the CRT 9 via the CG 8. When a print command is input, each character code of the text data is converted into a corresponding character pattern by the CG 8 and printed out by the printer 10.

Next, another conversion method for converting into a character code of a pictorial symbol will be described using a display example on the CRT 9 shown in FIG.

First, all text data to be input is input from the keyboard 1 and stored in the RAM 4 which is a text memory via the CPU 2. At the same time, the text data as shown in FIG. 4 (A) is displayed on the CRT 9.

Then, when the pictogram conversion key is operated at the time when all the text data input is completed, the text data stored in the RAM 4 are collectively supplied to the kana-kanji conversion unit 7, and the kana pictogram conversion table 6 is referred to. Convert to text data with mixed pictograms. FIG. 4 (B) is a display of the sentence data after batch conversion.

<Effect> According to the present invention, a kanji conversion instruction means and a pictogram conversion instruction means are provided, and it is possible to distinguish and instruct at the user level whether the input kana data is converted to kanji data or pictogram data. Therefore, the number of conversion candidates output is small and the target candidate can be obtained immediately. Furthermore, when the corresponding pictogram data does not exist even though conversion to a pictogram is instructed, Kanji conversion is performed subsequently, so there is no need to enter kana input data for Kanji conversion. Sexuality is greatly improved.
