Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [9 Industrial Applications] This invention relates to an error display method for displaying grammatical errors when a text written according to a grammar is converted into a text according to another grammar system. It is.

FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a system that executes such a conventional error display method, in which 1 is a display, 2 is
3 is a first window, 3 is a second window, and 4 is a control unit.

The first window 2 is used to display the text to be converted that is input to the language processing means that converts the input text into text of another grammatical system, and the second window 3 is used to display the text that is to be converted by the language processing means. It is used to display the content of grammatical errors in the text.

The control unit 4 manages and controls each of the above-mentioned components.

In the system having this configuration, errors after language conversion are displayed in the second window 3 based on the flowchart shown in FIG. First, in step 21, the text to be converted is displayed in the first window 2. Next, in step 22, language conversion to another grammar system is performed, and errors in the input text that are permissible in the converted grammar system are detected. Next, in step 3, the grammatical errors detected in step 2 are displayed in the second window 3. In the illustrated example, “a=
It is displayed in the second window 3 that in the arithmetic expression of a+b:J, the variable is undefined.

This allows [int
It turns out that the part a;J can be changed to ``int aHbJ.

Therefore, in this display method, the content of the error and the text to be converted are separated and displayed in the first and second windows 2.3.
, the error content can be displayed without disturbing the text to be converted, and the error location can be found efficiently.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the conventional error display method described above, the error parts of the input text are not displayed in the same way, so it is difficult to understand the relationship between the error part and the error content, and it takes time to correct the input text. There were some problems, such as it taking too much time.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an error display method that can easily identify the relationship between an error location in an input text and the content of the error.

[Means to solve the problem]

The error display method according to the present invention is based on the first display area (the first display area).
Window 2) has a second display area (Second Window 3).
) is characterized in that grammatical errors in the text to be converted are displayed in a predetermined display format in association with the content of the errors displayed in the text.

(Operation) In the present invention, the first display area (first window 2) displays the grammatical information of the text to be converted in association with the contents of the error part displayed in the second display area (second window 3). Since the error location is displayed in a predetermined display format, the correspondence between the error location and the error content can be clearly identified.

[Embodiment] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention, and numerals 1 to 4 in the figure are the same as the conventional structure shown in FIG. Here, a new input vtIH5 is provided.

The input device 5 is composed of a mouse and a keyboard, and its function is to give an instruction to the first window 2 and second window 3 on the display 1 to display the location of the error and the content of the error.

In a system having such a configuration, errors detected during grammar conversion are displayed based on the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, in step 41, various settings are initialized.

Next, in step 42, the text to be converted is displayed in the first window 2. Next, in step 43, the text to be converted is converted. Next, in step 44, the text displayed in step 42 is displayed in reverse video for each location where the error occurred. In FIG. 1, the variable at the location of the error is surrounded by 0 marks to indicate that it is displayed in reverse video.

Next, in step 45, an input from the input device 5 is waited for.

Next, in step 46, the information input from the human-powered device 5 is analyzed, and if it is an instruction to end the erroneous display, the process proceeds to step 49, and the first. Stop displaying in the second window. However, if it is not an end instruction, in step 47, if the location indicated by the input device [5 is the error location displayed in the first window 2, the process advances to step 48; otherwise, the process returns to step 45. In step 48, the content of the error related to the text specified in step 45 is displayed in the second window 3 until the input of the display instruction is canceled, and if the input of the display instruction for the error part is canceled, the process returns to step 45. return. In step 49, the display of windows 2 and 3 is stopped, and the series of processing is completed.

Therefore, according to this embodiment, errors detected when converting text into another grammar system are displayed in reverse video in the first window 2. Then, when the error location is specified using the input device 5, the error contents for the specified location are divided and displayed in the second window 3. This makes it possible to clearly identify the relationship between the location where an error was detected and the content of the error, which is the reason for the error.
It is possible to efficiently discover and correct errors during grammar conversion.

In the above embodiment, the part where there was an error was displayed in reverse video in Step 44, but this may be done in any display form as long as it can be distinguished from the part without an error. As shown in another embodiment of the figure, a mark 51 indicating the error may be added to the location where the error occurs. With this configuration, it is possible to identify an error location even if the display 1 shown in FIG. 1 does not have a reverse display function, and there is an effect that it does not depend on whether or not the display 1 has a reverse display function.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the content of the error is displayed in step 48 (1) until the display instruction is stopped, but as shown in the embodiment of FIG. , a button 61 may be provided on the display 1, and the content of the error may continue to be displayed until the display position of the button 61 is designated by the input device W15.

With this configuration, even if the display instruction is canceled, the display contents of the first window 2 will not be erased until the button 61 is instructed, so that the erroneous contents will be displayed in multiple places on the IM.
This has the effect of making it easier to identify the cause in cases where there is a combination of I and I.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to this light, the contents of the grammatical error and the error part are displayed in correspondence with the text whose grammatical system is to be converted, so that the part causing the error and its content are displayed. This has the effect of making the correspondence clear and allowing errors to be corrected efficiently.
