VOICED CONSONANT/SEMI-VOICED CONSONANT CHARACTER INPUT DEVICE/METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To inform a user of a reaction before a voiced consonant key and/or a semi-voiced consonant key is depressed by changing the display of the voiced consonant key and/or the semi-voiced consonant key in accordance with a character type and a character kind, thus realizing smooth input. SOLUTION: A character type discrimination means 14 discriminates a character type inputted by an input means 11 and a character kind discrimination means 15 discriminates an inputted character kind. Data is fetched out from a ROM table 16 in accordance with the character type and the character kind and the display of the voiced consonant key and the semi-voiced consonant key in the input means 11 is changed. A storage means 13 stores a generated document, a document during generation and a cursor position showing a character input position. The character type discrimination means 14 discriminates which type is a character just before the present position of the cursor showing the character input position. The character kind discrimination means 15 discriminates whether the character kind just before the present position of the cursor showing the character input position is a voiceless sound character or a voiced consonant character or a semi-voiced consonant character.
