Chinese language input translation processing device and Chinese language translation processing method

Abstract

The input unit 11 has a plurality of keys to which two or more different letters are assigned. The control unit 21 generates a plurality of character strings in the character generating unit 23 . In the pinyin correctness check processing unit 25, among the above-mentioned character strings, only character strings established as pinyin are selected as input candidates, and in the dictionary search unit 27, the input character strings are replaced with the selected input candidates and converted For the corresponding Chinese characters, output to the display unit 12 as the conversion result. Thus, even if the user does not press the same key multiple times to input the desired character, but only presses each character once for pinyin input, the desired Chinese character can be simply obtained as the conversion result.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a Chinese input conversion device for Chinese input using an input device with limited number of input keys such as a mobile phone, and a Chinese input conversion processing method used in the same device. Background technique [0002] The device capable of Chinese input has the function of using a dictionary that associates Chinese characters with phonetic symbols (pinyin) representing their pronunciations, inputting Chinese pronunciations in pinyin, and converting them into Chinese characters for output. This function is called a pinyin-kanji conversion function (equivalent to the kana-kanji conversion function of a Japanese word processor). [0003] In Chinese, the pronunciation of 1 Chinese character must be 1 syllable. One syllable is further composed of an initial consonant part called "initial", and a part other than "initial" called final (with vowel, double vowel, nasalized vowel, etc.). There is also a tone ...

Problems solved by technology

However, the method in this publication only targets Japanese kana-kanji conversion, and cannot be applied to Chinese pinyin-kanji conversion.

In addition, in this publication, a method of narrowing down the suitable candidate range from a plurality of conversion candidates obtained by kana-kanji conversion is used, and the validity of the input character string is not checked before conversion.
