A method for generating data for an application includes the steps of determining a character string composed of at least one character to be transferred from a text displayed by a display, designating an attribution for the determined character string, and transferring the determined character string to a place corresponding to the designated attribution.

Method and device for generating application data and storage medium containing thereon a program for generating application data

An object of the present invention is to make it possible to input coordinate information continuously among a plurality of input faces in inputting such coordinate information from the plurality of input faces by specifying coordinate positions. When a time measured between an end of a first input on the first input face and a start of a second input on the second input face is within a predetermined time, the first and second inputs are recognized as one continuous input even if the first input is stopped. Furthermore, when the end position of the first input is within a predetermined region, the first and second inputs are recognized as one continuous input even if the first input is stopped. Accordingly, it becomes possible to make a series of inputs by using the plurality of input faces.

An object of the present invention is to convert a voice to a character string and output attribute data associated with the character string. The central controller of the data processing apparatus converts a voice entered from the voice input unit through the voice/character code conversion processing to a character string. Then, any date and time part of the character string are detected through the date detection processing and the time detection processing and the detected date and time part are converted to predetermined date and time words through the date conversion processing and the time conversion processing. Finally, the converted date and time are associated to a voice and a character string as attribute data through the monitor controlling and stored in the schedule memory as schedule data. Consequently, the date and time are associated to a voice and a character string automatically. The current date and time clocked by the clocking unit are also used as such attribute data, so that either of any detected date and time part or the current date and time are selected and used.

A method and translating machine for translating a source language with markup signs into a target language maintaining the markup signs. The system includes a separation module for separating an original text into markup signs and a text body exclusive of the markup signs, a memory for storing each markup sign in association with a corresponding word or phrase, a module for producing a parsing tree in a target language corresponding to the original text body, and a translated sentence producing module for producing target language text by attaching markup signs to translated words corresponding to the original text based on the parsing tree in the target language.

Translating system for processing text with markup signs

A translation machine is arranged to derive two or more syntaxes from one original sentence, determine which of the syntaxes is the most approximate according to a syntax priority rule given by a user or a manufacturer and output a translated sentence based on the most approximate syntax. The translation machine includes a memory, a translating module and a main CPU as main components. The memory serves to store a partial structure of each syntax and a syntax priority rule containing a numerical value indicating a priority of the partial structure and an incidental condition of the syntax. The translating module serves to collide the syntax priority rule stored in the memory with the syntax of the original sentence and giving a proper evaluating value to the syntax of the original sentence. The main CPU serves to output the translated sentences on the syntaxes derived from the original sentence according to their larger evaluating values.

Translation machine having a function of deriving two or more syntaxes

An electronic dictionary for storing a plurality of items such as idioms, where each item includes an entry string and information associated with the entry string. The entry string includes a first representative symbol representing a plurality of words having a prescribed common attribute. The information may include more than one representative symbol with each representing a separate group of words having a common attribute. An information retrieval apparatus identifies an input character string and an entry string by regarding the first representative symbol as being the same as any one of the words which the symbol represents, and outputs the information corresponding to the identified entry string. The dictionary enables information to be stored more efficiently and economically.

Translation apparatus which uses idioms with a fixed and variable

An automatic translating apparatus stores in a memory in machine readable format a plurality of translation combinations. Each translation combination includes (1) a predetermined part of speech such as an auxiliary verb of a source language like English, (2) a usage condition of that word, and (3) a translation word in a target language such as Japanese. A machine readable dictionary includes a plurality of entries. Each dictionary entry includes a source language word and a corresponding general translation word. A translation word is selectively retrieving from the translation combination memory or the general translation word stored in the dictionary based on the text of the source language and the usage condition of that word in the text. If a source text word corresponds to the predetermined part of speech, the source text word and its usage condition (e.g., the type of sentence in which the word is used) is matched to the translation combinations stored in memory. If there is a match, the corresponding translation word is retrieved from the memory. If there is no match, a general translation word is retrieved from the dictionary.
