PURPOSE:To input a general word and a proper noun, or a punctuation mark easily, by utilizing a capital letter and a small letter among English letters, or '','' and ''.'' in English writing. CONSTITUTION:For example, when KANJI (Chinese character) ''koufu'' as a general word is iputted, ''kouhu'' is inputted on a keyboard 1 and a KANJI conversion request is made; a general word KANJI dictionary file 3 is accessed under the control of an input character discrimination processing block 2 to extract homonyms, which are monitored through a character font pattern generator 6, character display control block 7, and the display function part of a display equipment 8 to select the corresponding characters. When a proper noun is inputted, its initial letter or all letters are inputted in capitals and a KANJI conversion request is made; KANJI is found in a proper noun dictionary file 4 and displayed. A KANA (Japanese syllabrary) input is also converted similarly by using a Roman Character/KANA conversion table. Then, '','' and ''.'' on the keyboard are used for punctuation marks and converted into a comma and a full stop for Japanese in response to a conversion request. |
