CHARACTER STRING CONVERSION DEVICE, HISTORICAL INFORMATION CREATING METHOD AND PREFERRED OUTPUT CANDIDATE DETERMINING PROGRAM

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow users unfamiliar with postal code input functions to easily input addresses. PSOLUTION: A postal code dictionary of a dictionary part 26b stores reading and notation for every postal code. When a certain postal code exists in a determined string buffer 27a, the reading and notation for the postal code are stored in an expansion history buffer 27c. Thus, a postal code "770-8051", e.g., is input and determined as it is, and then the reading "Tokusima Prefecture" of the address "Okihama, Tokusima City in Tokusima Prefecture" coordinated with the postal code is input to the midway, whereby "Okihama, Tokusima City in Tokusima Prefecture" can be reported as an input saved conversion candidate.
