Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a word processor capable of reducing time necessary for preparing a document by providing a style converter and its method capable of simply converting the style of an inputted sentence and equipping this style converter. SOLUTION: In a style analyzing processing part 7, a pre-conversion information fetching part 11 fetches information on a segment before style conversion and a style convertable checking part 12 checks whether this segment includes a style convertible declinable word. Then in the case of being a style convertible segment, a succeeding attached word extracting part 13, a style conversion candidate generating part 14 and an attached word table 15 prepares a segment obtained by replacing this segment with the character string of six kinds of styles such as respect, possibility politeness, desire, estimation, hearing, guess. Then, these six kinds of styles are outputted and converted to the segment of a selected kind of style to complete the conversion of the style.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a style conversion device and a style conversion method for converting a style, which is a type of text, and a word processor having the style conversion device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Hitherto, a Japanese word processor (hereinafter simply referred to as a word processor) has been widely used for creating a Japanese document.

A Japanese document is composed of various sentences such as a positive sentence, a negative sentence, a past sentence, a future sentence, a respected sentence, a polite sentence, a desired sentence, an estimated sentence, a hearing sentence, and a guess sentence as shown below. There is a type (style). Positive sentence-write application notice Negative sentence-do not write application notice Past sentence-written application notice Future sentence-will write application notice Respect sentence-written application notice Polite sentence-write application notice Request sentence -I want to write an application report Presumed sentence-It seems to write an application report Hearing message-It seems to write an application report guesswork-It seems to write an application report As is clear from this example, the style is a verb (verb, adjective, adjective) It can be changed by changing the attached word attached to the verb).

[0004]

However, when creating a Japanese document with a word processor, the operator is conscious of affirmation, negation and tense (past, present, future), but is not aware of other styles. It is often done without any particular awareness. For this reason, there are times when you want to change the style after entering a document. For example, you may want to modify a positive sentence into a polite sentence.

However, in a conventional word processor, when changing the style of an input document, the attached word attached to the previously input word is deleted, and then the reading of a character string corresponding to the changed style is re-input. I had to. For this reason, there has been a problem that the input operation is complicated and the time required for creating a document is long. Further, there has been a problem that the number of input operations increases due to the correction input for changing the style, and the possibility of typographical errors increases.

An object of the present invention is to provide a style conversion apparatus and a style conversion method that can easily convert the style of an input sentence without performing correction input.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a word processor which includes the above-mentioned stylistic conversion device and can reduce the time required for creating a document.

[0008]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, a stylistic conversion apparatus according to the present invention performs continuous phrase analysis on an input Japanese character string, thereby dividing the Japanese character string into phrases. A conversion character string generating means for generating a conversion character string for each phrase; and an optional word generated by the conversion character string generation means, for an optional word attached to a word in the conversion character string in the phrase As a conversion target, and without changing affirmation and negation in the phrase, a phrase replacement means for converting the extracted attached word into a phrase replaced with a character string corresponding to a desired style. I do.

In this configuration, a continuous phrase analysis is performed on an input Japanese character string, the Japanese character string is divided into phrases, and a converted character string is generated for each phrase.
Then, in any phrase in which the converted character string is generated, an adjunct attached to the verbal is extracted, and the extracted adjunct is converted into a character string corresponding to a desired style without changing affirmative or negative in this phrase. Convert the phrase replaced with. Therefore, it is possible to convert the style of the sentence by the input Japanese character string without performing the correction input,
The time required to create a document can be reduced, and the possibility of typos does not increase. Further, since the style is converted without changing affirmative or negative, the meaning of the sentence before conversion and the meaning of the sentence after conversion do not change.

The stylistic conversion apparatus according to the second aspect of the present invention performs continuous phrase analysis on the entire Japanese character string document file or on a selected part of the document file, and divides the Japanese character string into phrases. A phrase separating means, and a phrase for converting a phrase including a word in a phrase separated by the phrase separating means into a phrase in which an adjunct attached to the word is replaced with a character string corresponding to a desired style. And replacement means.

With this configuration, the style of all sentences included in the entire document file or a selected part of the document file can be converted into a desired style at a time. For example, it is possible to easily change a sentence file described in “Dana-Ma-tona” into a sentence file written in “Dana-Masaru-tone” which is a polite sentence. Also, "Yes,
You can also convert "masu-tona" to dialect-specific ending styles such as "wassu-tona", "zura-tona" and "dabe-ton".

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the style conversion device of the invention, when the predetermined key is operated, the phrase replacement means converts a character string corresponding to each type of the style to the corresponding phrase. It is a means for outputting and converting the phrase into a phrase obtained by replacing the phrase with a character string of a selected style.

In this configuration, a character string corresponding to each style is output. Here, by displaying a character string corresponding to each type of style, the operator can select the type of style from the character string. Therefore, the operator does not need to think about the character string when converting the style, and can easily convert the style.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a word processor having a function of creating and editing a document using a Japanese character string, comprising the stylistic conversion device according to any one of the first to third aspects. Features.

In the word processor having this configuration, the provision of the above-described style conversion device makes it possible to easily change the style of the input document, thereby shortening the time required for document creation.

[0016]

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a word processor to which a style conversion device according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied. In this figure, the flow of information between the blocks is also shown. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a word processor (hereinafter simply referred to as a word processor).
An input unit 2 includes a keyboard on which an operator performs an input operation. Reference numeral 3 denotes a continuous phrase analysis processing unit which performs a continuous phrase analysis process on the input Japanese character string and divides the Japanese character string into phrases. Reference numeral 4 denotes a dictionary search processing unit that searches the dictionary file 5 and extracts conversion candidates for reading the input Japanese character string. Reference numeral 6 denotes a next candidate analysis processing unit that outputs all homonyms for reading a Japanese character string in the selected phrase as conversion candidates. 7
Is a stylistic analysis processing unit that converts a phrase including a verb (verb, adjective, adjective verb) into a phrase obtained by replacing the phrase with a character string corresponding to a predetermined style (respect, politeness, etc.). Reference numeral 8 denotes a display unit that displays an input Japanese character string and the like.

Here, the flow of information between the blocks shown in FIG. 1 will be briefly described. The details of each information will be described later. The input unit 2 sends the input character string (Japanese character string) to the continuous phrase analysis processing unit 3 and the display unit 8. The continuous phrase analysis processing unit 3 sends this Japanese character string as a dictionary search character string to the dictionary search processing unit 4, and the dictionary search processing unit 4 analyzes the dictionary search result obtained by searching the dictionary file 5 with the dictionary search character string. Return to processing unit 3. The continuous phrase analysis processing unit 3 sends the dictionary search result to the display unit 8 as a converted character string. Also, the input unit 2 sends the Japanese character string of the selected phrase to the next candidate analysis processing unit 6 as a pre-conversion character string. The next candidate analysis processing unit 6 sends this to the dictionary search processing unit 4 as a dictionary search character string, and the dictionary search processing unit 4 extracts the dictionary search result obtained by searching the dictionary file 5 with this dictionary search character string. To return. The next candidate analysis processing unit 6 sends the dictionary search result to the display unit 8 as a conversion candidate. Further, the input unit 2 sends the Japanese character string of the selected phrase to the style analysis processing unit 7 as information before style conversion. The style analysis processing section 7 processes this character string and sends style conversion candidates to the display section 8.

Although not shown, a character key operated when inputting a reading of a Japanese character string, and an operation for converting the input Japanese character string into a character string containing kana-kanji characters, are input to the input unit 2. A conversion key, a next candidate key operated when requesting a next candidate for a converted character string containing kana-kanji characters,
A style conversion key operated when converting the style of the sentence by the input Japanese character string, a style batch conversion key operated when converting the style of the text within the selected range to a common style collectively Is provided.

Hereinafter, the processing of the word processor of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the processing of the word processor according to this embodiment. When any key operation is performed on the input unit 2 (n)
1) It is determined whether the operated key is a character key, a conversion key, a next candidate key, a style conversion key, a style batch conversion key, or another key (n2 to n6). If it is a character key, the key code of the operated character key is stored in the input buffer (n7). The input buffer is provided in the input unit 2 (not shown). If it is a conversion key, a conversion process described later is performed on the Japanese character string stored in the input buffer (n8). If it is the next candidate key, next candidate processing is performed such as displaying all homonyms for the reading of the Japanese character string of the selected phrase as conversion candidates on the display unit 8 (n9). If the key is a style conversion key, style conversion processing for converting style is performed (n10). If the key is a style conversion batch conversion key, a style conversion batch conversion process is performed to batch convert the style of the selected range of sentences into a common style (n1).
1). If it is another key, a process corresponding to the operated key is performed (n12).

Note that the conversion processing at n8 and the next candidate processing at n9 correspond to the conversion character string generation means according to the present invention.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the conversion process. This processing is mainly executed in the continuous phrase analysis processing unit 3. The continuous phrase analysis processing unit 3 takes in the information (key code) of the Japanese character string input from the input buffer (n21). For example, the information of the Japanese character string “Nakasan-san-shatsugan-tokake-kaku” is taken from the input buffer. The continuous phrase analysis processing unit 3 passes the information of the Japanese character string to the dictionary search processing unit 4 as a dictionary search character string (n22). The dictionary search processing unit 4 searches the dictionary file 5 by reading all the patterns of the dictionary search character string, and returns all matching conversion candidates to the continuous phrase analysis processing unit 3 as dictionary search results. For example, if the dictionary search character string passed to the dictionary search processing unit 4 is “Naka-san-san-shatsugan-to-kake-ku-kaku”, the dictionary search processing unit 4 sets “Naka, Nakano, No, Mitsu, End , Tanetsu, out, application, application notification, each, book
..] as a dictionary search result.

On the other hand, the continuous phrase analysis processing section 3 performs phrase segmentation for the information of the Japanese character string fetched in n21, which is the most correct as Japanese (n23). The segmentation of the Japanese character string is executed by morphological analysis. For example, the reading of the Japanese character string "Nakasan-san-Shitsugan-to-Kake-Kaku" is read as "Naka-san-san / Shitsu-gan-Take-Kake-Kaku" (/ indicates the segmentation of the phrase). Separated into Then, it is determined whether or not the above dictionary search result has been received from the dictionary search processing unit 4 (n2
4) If not, wait for this. When the dictionary search result is received, a conversion candidate that is optimal for the reading of the phrase is extracted from the dictionary search result for each of the segments separated by n23, and a conversion character string is created (n25). For example, a conversion character string “Mr. Nakano / Application notification / each” is created. As a process for extracting the optimal conversion candidate from the dictionary search result, a method of determining the most frequently used one of the dictionary search results as the optimal conversion candidate, and a method of determining the most recently used candidate for the reading. It can be realized by a known method such as a method of determining a conversion candidate as an optimal conversion candidate.
The continuous phrase analysis processing unit 3 outputs the converted character string created in n25 and completes this processing (n26). The output converted character string is displayed on the display unit 8.

Here, when the converted character string displayed on the display unit 8 includes a phrase that is not the character string intended by the user,
The operator selects the phrase and executes the next candidate process on the phrase. Specifically, after specifying the phrase, the next candidate key is operated. For example, in the above-described example, if the character string intended by the operator is “Mr. Nakano / Write application notice”, the phrase “each” is selected and the next candidate key is operated.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the next candidate process. This processing is mainly performed in the next candidate analysis processing unit 6. The next candidate analysis processing unit 6 takes in the reading of the Japanese character string of the selected phrase (n31). For example,
Take in "Kaku". Then, the reading is passed to the dictionary search processing unit 4 as a dictionary search character string (n32). The dictionary search processing unit 4 searches the dictionary file 5 by reading all the patterns of the passed dictionary search character string, as in the above-described conversion processing, and uses all the matching conversion candidates as the dictionary search result as the next candidate analysis processing. Return to Part 6. For example, if the dictionary search character string passed to the dictionary search processing unit 4 is “Kaku”, the dictionary search processing unit 4 searches the dictionary for “each, write, picture, chip, nucleus, kaku,. Return as result. That is, all homonyms (conversion candidates) corresponding to the reading of the dictionary search character string are returned to the next candidate analysis processing unit 6 as dictionary search results. Upon receiving the dictionary search result from the dictionary search processing unit 4 (n33), the next candidate analysis processing unit 6 outputs the received dictionary search result (n34). The dictionary search result output in n34 is displayed on the display unit 8. For example, as shown in FIG. 5A, all the conversion candidates are collectively displayed on the display unit 8. The operator selects his or her intended conversion candidate from the displayed plurality of conversion candidates. When there is a conversion candidate selected by the operator (n35), the next candidate search processing unit 6 performs
The corresponding phrase is converted into a phrase in which the selected character string of the conversion candidate is replaced, and the process is completed (n36).
At this time, if the operator selects “write”, the display unit 8 changes to the display shown in FIG.

Here, the operator executes a style conversion process on the sentence "Mr. Nakano writes an application report" displayed on the display section 8 when the style is to be changed. Specifically, after selecting a phrase including the declinable word, the style conversion key is operated. Here, the phrase of "writing" is selected. In this embodiment, when the style is converted, the style is converted without changing the meaning of the positive, negative, and tense (present, past, and future) in the original sentence. First, from the Japanese grammar, the appendix following the declinable word for each style has the rule shown in FIG. If the adjective is an adjective or an adjective,
There is no possible sentence or desired sentence in the grammar.

For example, the three phrases "write", "not write", and "written" are respectively expressed in six styles: respected / possible sentence, polite sentence, desired sentence, estimated sentence, hearsay sentence, and intention / guess sentence. When expressed by, the result is as shown in FIG.

FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing the function of the style analysis processing unit. The stylistic analysis processing unit 7 includes a pre-conversion information fetching unit 11 that fetches the information of the bunsetsu before the styling is converted (information before styling conversion), and determines whether the fetched bunsetsu is a bunsetsu that can be stylized. A stylistic conversion possible check unit 12 to be determined, an inherited adjunct word extracting unit 13 for extracting an adjunct word (inherited adjunct word) which is not changed when the stylistic conversion is performed in the phrase, and a stylistic conversion candidate generation for generating a stylized character string Unit 14, an adjunct word table 15 in which adjuncts connected to declinable words are registered for each type of style based on the rule shown in FIG. 6, and a style conversion information output unit 16 for outputting style-converted character string information. It has.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the style conversion process. As described above, this processing is started when the style conversion key is operated. Style analysis unit 7
Fetches the pre-style conversion information of the selected phrase into the pre-conversion information fetching unit 11 (n41). Then, the style conversion possible check unit 12 determines whether the style of the selected phrase is convertible (n42). At n42, whether or not style conversion is possible is determined depending on whether or not the phrase contains a word. If it is determined that the style conversion is not possible (the grammar is not included), the process ends. If it is determined that the style conversion is possible, the inherited accessory word extracting unit 13 extracts an inherited auxiliary word that is not changed when performing the style conversion (n43). Here, in the present embodiment, before converting the style, the process of n43 is performed for the purpose of not changing the tense of the phrase. For example, when the phrase to be subjected to style conversion is "write" or "not write", there is no inherited appendix extracted in the process of n43. However, if the phrase to be subjected to stylistic conversion is "will write" (if it is a phrase meaning the future), it will be "will" in the processing of n43.
As an inherited appendix.

Then, the style conversion candidate creation section 14 sequentially sets the style type and creates style conversion candidates for the style of the set type (n44 to n46). In n44, if the verbal included in the phrase whose style is to be converted is a verb, the six respects, respect, politeness, hope, presumption, hearsay, and intention are set in order. If the verbal is an adjective or an adjective verb, Polite,
Estimation, hearing, and intention are set in order.

The process of creating a style conversion candidate in n45 will be described. The style conversion candidate creation unit 14 extracts from the attached word table 15 an attached word that is directly connected to the word corresponding to the style to be converted. The style conversion candidate creation unit 14
If the phrase whose style is to be converted is a phrase that means negation, it extracts an adjunct with that meaning. To be more specific, if the phrase whose style is to be converted is "write" and the style to be created is a respected sentence, "kare" is extracted as an adjunct to be connected to the adjective, and the phrase whose style is to be converted If "do not write" and the style to be created is a respected sentence, "karenai" is extracted as an adjunct to be connected to the idiom. Then, connect the extracted adjunct to the verb,
If there is an inherited adjunct, the adjunct connected to the declinable word is connected to the inherited adjunct. Thereby, the style of the target phrase can be converted without changing the affirmative, negative, and tense.

When the creation of style conversion candidates for the phrase is completed for all types of styles, the style conversion information output unit 1
6 outputs the style conversion candidate created by the above processing (n47). The style conversion candidates output here are displayed on the display unit 8. FIG. 9A is a diagram illustrating an example when a style conversion candidate is displayed. The operator selects a character string of a desired style from the displayed style conversion candidates. When the stylistic conversion candidate displayed on the display unit 8 is selected (n48), the stylistic analysis processing unit 7 converts the corresponding phrase into a phrase in which the selected stylistic conversion candidate is replaced with a character string. Is completed (n49). At this time, if the operator has selected "write (polite sentence)", the display unit 8 will display as shown in FIG. 9B.

As described above, the word processor 1 of this embodiment
Now, select the phrase you want to change the style, and operate the style conversion key to change the style of the phrase without changing the affirmative, negative, and tense of the phrase before the style conversion Can be. Therefore, it is possible to convert the style of the input document without deleting or correcting a part of the text input by the operator (the appendix following the declinable word). Therefore, the operability at the time of document creation can be improved, the time required for document creation can be shortened, and the possibility of typographical errors does not increase. In this embodiment, the reason why the affirmation and negation of the document input at the time of conversion of the style were not changed is that when the affirmation and the negation were changed, the sentence before the style conversion processing and the style conversion processing were performed. This is because the meaning is different from the later sentence.
Further, in the above-described embodiment, when converting the style, the character string converted for each type of style is displayed for the selected phrase and the operator is allowed to select the character string. It is not necessary to think about the character string of the style, and the style can be easily converted.

In the above-described embodiment, when the style is converted, the character string converted for each style is displayed for the selected phrase so that the operator can select it. May be displayed, and the phrase may be converted into a character string of the style selected by the operator. By doing so, it is not necessary to create a converted character string for all types of styles (only a converted character string for a selected type of style needs to be created), and this is required for style conversion processing. Time can be reduced.

Next, a text style batch conversion process for batch conversion of the text style of the entire document file or the text in the selected range will be described. This process is executed when the stylistic batch conversion key provided on the input unit 2 is operated as described above. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the style conversion process. This style conversion process can be performed on a sentence that has already been determined. After operating the style batch conversion key, the operator selects a range in the document file in which style is to be converted. At this time, the selected part may be the entire document file or a part of the document file. When the range of the document file is selected (n51), the word processor 1 reversely displays the selected document (Japanese character string) on the display unit 8 (n52). As described above, the selected portion of the document file is highlighted, so that the operator can easily confirm the range.

The word processor 1 performs segmentation of the document within the selected range (n53). This process is performed by a known morphological analysis process. When the process of n53 is completed,
The pre-conversion information fetching unit 11 shown in FIG. 7 sequentially fetches the phrases from the beginning, and the style conversion possible check unit 12 determines whether or not the phrase contains a word that can be style converted (n54)
To n57). If there is no phrase that can be style-changed within the selected range of the document file (the phrase including the verbal), the process ends (n56). In n55, when a phrase including the first declinable word is detected after the start of this processing, the same processing as in n33 to n39 shown in FIG.
64). The description of the processing of n58 to n64 is omitted here. When the above process is completed, the type of style selected at n63 is stored (n65). Then, it is determined whether or not the current phrase to be processed is the last phrase (the last phrase in the selected range) (n66). If not, the next phrase is fetched (n67). Then, it is determined whether the fetched phrase is a phrase that can be style-converted (n68). If the type of style stored at n65 is a respectable / possible sentence or a desired sentence, it is determined that a phrase including a verb other than a verb is also a phrase that cannot be converted in style. If the phrase is convertible, the phrase is converted into a stylistic character string of the type stored in n66 (n69-7)
2). In n70, the type of style stored in n65 is set. Upon completion of the process at n72, the process returns to n66 and the above process is repeated. Then, if it is determined in n66 that this is the last phrase, this processing is completed.

As described above, a character string converted into all types of styles is displayed for the first message phrase in the entire document file or within the selected range, and the desired style is selected from the text strings. Type is selected. Therefore, the operator can select the type of style to be converted by looking at the character string after the style conversion, and can easily and reliably select a desired type of style. In addition, a phrase including another declinable word is automatically converted into a style of the type previously converted. That is, the operator can set the type of style only once, and convert the entire document file or documents in the selected range to the style at once. For example, it is possible to easily convert a document file written in "Dana-Ma-tona" into a polite sentence written in "Dan-Ma-tona".

Next, another embodiment of the style batch conversion process will be described. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the style batch conversion process according to this embodiment. In this embodiment as well, this process is started when the stylistic batch conversion key is operated. When the style conversion key is operated, the word processor 1 displays the type of style that can be converted on the display unit 8 (n81). In this embodiment, six types of respect / possibility, politeness, hope, estimation, hearing, and intention / guess are displayed. The operator selects a desired type of style from the displayed styles. When the type of style is selected (n82), the word processor 1 stores the selected type of style (n83). Then, the selection of the range for converting the style is accepted (n84), and the selected range is highlighted on the display unit 8 (n85). The range set here may be the entire document file or a part of the document file as in the above-described embodiment. The processing of n84 and n85 is the same as the processing of n51 and n52 shown in FIG. Subsequent to this processing, segmentation is performed on all the sentences in the selected range (n86), and the first sentence is taken into the style analysis section 7 (n87). Then, it is determined whether or not this phrase is a phrase that can be style-converted (n88), and if it is not a phrase that can be style-converted, the process jumps to n93. In addition,
If the type of style selected here is a respectable / possible sentence or a desired sentence, it is determined that the style cannot be converted if it is a phrase containing a verb other than a verb. n
If it is determined at 88 that the phrase is a phrase that can be style-converted, the phrase is converted into a character string of the style stored at n83 (n89-92). In n90, the type of style stored in n83 is set. Then, it is determined whether or not the current phrase to be processed is the last phrase (n93). If it is not the last phrase, the next phrase is fetched as a phrase to be processed (n94), and the process returns to n88. This process is repeated, and if it is determined that the current phrase to be processed is the last phrase in n93, this process is completed.

As described above, in the style batch conversion according to this embodiment, the operator first selects the type of style to be converted and the range in the document file, and all the texts within the selected range are converted. Can be collectively converted into a selected type of style.

[0039]

As described above, according to the first and fifth aspects of the present invention, a continuous phrase analysis is performed on an input Japanese character string, and the Japanese character string is divided into phrases. Generate a conversion string for the clause. And
In any phrase in which the converted character string is generated, extract the adjunct attached to the verb and replace the extracted adjunct with the character string corresponding to the desired style without changing the affirmative or negative in this phrase To convert the phrase. Therefore, it is possible to convert the style of a sentence using an input Japanese character string without performing a correction input, thereby reducing the time required for creating a document and increasing the possibility of typos. I won't let you. Further, since the style is converted without changing affirmative or negative, the meaning of the sentence before conversion and the meaning of the sentence after conversion do not change.

According to the second and sixth aspects of the present invention, for the entire document file or a selected part of the document file, the styles of all the sentences included therein are collectively converted into a desired style. Can be converted. For example,
It is possible to easily change a sentence file described in "Dana-tona" into a sentence file in a polite sentence, "Dan-ma-tona".

According to the third and seventh aspects of the present invention, the style of the input document is changed to the selected style by a simple operation of selecting a desired style from a plurality of types of styles. Can be converted.

Further, according to the invention described in claim 4, the style of the input text can be easily converted without deleting or correcting the input text, which is necessary for document creation. Time is reduced.
