DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING CHINESE CHARACTER INPUT CONVERSION AND RECORDING MEDIUM STORED WITH CHINESE CHARACTER INPUT CONVERSION PROCESSING PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently realize Pinyin Chinese character conversion by arbitrarily changing the key array of double Pinyin, and reducing the input labor of a user. SOLUTION: A control part 22 starts a key array change processing part 28 according to the depression of a key array change instruction key 21b provided at an input part 21, and presents the key array of double Pinyin set at present at the input part 21. When the key array is changed by a prescribed operation, a key change processing part 28 updates the contents of a key array table 26 according to the changed key array. Afterwards, a substitution processing part 25 substitutes the input character string from the double Pinyin to Pinyin by referring to the key array table 26, and a dictionary retrieving part 23 retrieves a Chinese character dictionary 24 based on the substituted Pinyin character string, and extracts the index as the candidate of conversion.
