Benefits of technology

[0052] In the document editing processing method and apparatus of the present invention, as described above, in which a variety of multimedia information pieces, such as the still picture images, moving picture information, speech information and other programs, are associated with keywords to prepare a registration table to render it possible to prepare a document based on the characters, words, prediction and estimation of characters, words or phrases, it becomes possible to prepare a multimedia document merely by repeating the processing consisting in presenting a set of a variety of multimedia information pieces, meticulously selected based on partial reading designation and on prediction from the character string directly before the input position, such as candidate words, candidate images, moving picture information, speech information or other programs, and in selecting the words, images, moving picture information or other programs. It is therefore possible to prepare a hybrid multimedia documents, including images, far more speedily and readily than is possible with the conventional character inputting technique which is based on kana-kanji conversion processing derived from conversion after inputting the entire readings.
[0054] Moreover, in the document editing processing method and apparatus of the present invention, in which a variety of the multimedia information pieces, such as still picture information, moving picture information, speech information or other programs, are registered along with reading data” in a multimedia dictionary, along with the text data, this reading data” being then retrieved based on the input characters, the hybrid image-text multimedia document can be prepared readily and speedily.

Problems solved by technology

However, since a wide variety of picture data are stored in the picture data file, it is not that easy to select desired pictures from the voluminous data.
However, in any of the above-described methods, it is necessary to carry out plural processing steps, such as invoking picture data files, listed display of picture data and selection, thus imposing significant load on the user while lowering the document preparing processing speed.

embodiment 1

[0078]FIG. 1 shows the structure of a preferred embodiment of a document editing processing apparatus 100 according to the present invention. The document editing processing apparatus 100 is a realization of the document editing processing apparatus of the present invention on a personal computer, and shows its hardware structure. Meanwhile, the document editing processing apparatus of the present invention can also be realized on a portable equipment carrying e.g., a small-sized liquid crystal display, whilst part of the structure of the document editing processing apparatus 100 shown in FIG. 1 may be realized by ASIC.

[0079] The document editing processing apparatus 100, shown in FIG. 1, according to the present invention, has a display device 112, and is configured for displaying letters, figures or pictures corresponding to data, such as letter string, input from a keyboard 108 or a mouse 109 through an interfacing circuit 107, or to data, such as letter string, input from a pre...

embodiment 2

[0201] A second embodiment of the document editing processing method and apparatus according to the present invention are hereinafter explained. In the configuration of the embodiment 1, the processing of specifying and demonstrating an image based on identifiers, such as images, registered in the word dictionary or in the exemplary sentence dictionary, explained with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12, is executed. The present embodiment is directed to a configuration in which multimedia data, such as image data, can be built into a document to be prepared, without interposition of a word dictionary or the exemplary sentence dictionary having registered therein image identifiers shown in FIGS. 11 and 12.

[0202]FIG. 19 shows a block diagram showing the basic structure of a document editing processing apparatus of the second embodiment. A document formulating program execution unit 1901 demonstrates an input character string on display means 1903, constituted by a CRT or an LCD, responsive...

embodiment 3

[0220] As an embodiment 3 of the document editing processing method and apparatus according to the present invention, an embodiment in which a hybridized multimedia data containing document is prepared using a multimedia dictionary having multimedia data registered therein is hereinafter explained.

[0221]FIG. 23 shows a block diagram illustrating a basic structure of a document editing processing apparatus of the preferred embodiment. Based on the program of an application software pertinent to document editing processing, a document formulating program execution unit 2301 is responsive to a character inputting by a user from character inputting means 2302, such as a keyboard, to demonstrate an input character string in the display means 2303, such as CRT or LCD, to execute retrieval of a multimedia dictionary based on an input character string from the character inputting means 2302, to extract multimedia data, such as a character string of e.g., kanji (Chinese characters) or multi...

Abstract

A document editing processing apparatus which enables formulation of a hybrid multimedia document containing e.g., an image readily and speedily. Each time a character is input, dictionary retrieval is performed with e.g., an undefined character as a retrieving condition, at the same time as a filename of a multimedia information file is retrieved. The results obtained on dictionary retrieval and the results obtained on file searching are demonstrated on a menu as conversion candidates. Alternatively, a multimedia dictionary is retrieved, using a multimedia dictionary in which the multimedia information has been registered in association with the reading, with the retrieved results being conversion candidates. Still alternatively, dictionary retrieval is executed, with e.g., an undefined character as a retrieving condition, using a word dictionary having the reading associated with multimedia information identifiers. This enables formulation of a hybrid multimedia document containing e.g., an image readily and speedily.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] This invention relates to a document editing processing method and apparatus and, more specifically, to a document editing processing configuration applicable in document editing employing a word processor, a DTP, a commuter and a portable document inputting apparatus. More particularly, it relates to a document editing processing method and apparatus and a program furnishing medium enabling high-speed conversion based on a user-input reading while enabling not only kana-kanji conversion processing (conversion from Japanese syllabic characters to Chinese characters), that is conversion from input reading data to kanji, but also high-speed conversion from the input reading data to the multimedia information pieces, such as picture information. [0003] 2. Description of Related Art [0004] In preparing various documents, such as information letters, presentation materials or mails, by a document processing device, such ...
