Embodiment approach 1

[0027] figure 1 It is a configuration diagram showing a character input device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

[0028] figure 1 The character input device is used as an input interface for a navigation device mounted in a vehicle, for example.

[0029] in figure 1 Here, the dictionary storage unit 1 is composed of, for example, a recording device such as a ROM or a hard disk, and stores, for example, a single Chinese character dictionary in Chinese. In addition, the dictionary storage unit 1 constitutes a dictionary storage unit.

[0030] The character string storage unit 2 is composed of, for example, a recording device such as a ROM or a hard disk, and stores, for example, a character string representing the name of a facility such as a road, a building, and a park. In addition, the character string storage unit 2 constitutes a character string storage unit.

[0031] The input method selection accepting unit 3 is composed of, for example, a user interface su...

[0096] Figure 7 It is a structural diagram showing a character input device according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. In the figure, with figure 1 The same symbols indicate the same or equivalent parts, so the description is omitted.

[0097] The voice input unit 11 is composed of, for example, a microphone, a voice synthesizing device, etc., and performs processing of receiving input of voice, converting the voice into characters, and outputting the characters to the character input receiving unit 4. In addition, the voice input unit 11 constitutes a voice input unit.

[0098] In the first embodiment described above, the user operates the character input accepting unit 4 to input characters, but the voice input unit 11 may accept the input of the user's voice, convert the sound into characters, and output the characters to the character input accepting unit 4.

[0099] In this case, the character input accepting unit 4 accepts the character converted by the voice input ...

Abstract

The invention provides a character input device and a character input method, which can reduce character input frequency so as to realize efficient searching of character strings representing facility names, and the like. The character input device comprises a candidate displaying part (6) which displays more than one single Chinese character candidates and character string candidates searched by a candidate searching part (5) on a same picture; a candidate selecting accepting part (7) which accepts the selection of the single Chinese character candidates or character string candidates from the more than one single Chinese character candidates and character string candidates. The candidate searching part (5) screens a character string candidate containing the single Chinese character candidate from the searched character string candidates in the case of the acception of the selection of the single Chinese character candidates, outputs the character string candidate to the candidate displaying part (6), and outputs the facility name represented by the character string candidate as a searching result in the case of the acception of the selection of the character string candidates.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a character input device, a character input method, and a character input program for searching for facility names and the like by inputting characters such as Chinese. Background technique [0002] In character input devices that input characters to search for facility names, etc., generally, the characters constituting the facility name to be searched are input character by character, and after the character input is completed, the "search button" or the like is pressed to search for the facility name. [0003] Therefore, unless the "search button" or the like is pressed, the search result of the facility name cannot be confirmed (the search result of the facility name cannot be confirmed while entering characters). [0004] Therefore, the input of characters is completed to the extent that the facility name can be retrieved even if all the characters constituting the facility name are not input, and this situation cannot be u...
