Description

  The present invention relates to an electronic device and a program.

  Conventionally, in an electronic device such as an electronic dictionary having a dictionary function, a so-called jump search function that performs re-search by designating an arbitrary word from a state in which headword information (a headword and its meaning) is displayed (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

  In this jump search function, the structure of a normal dictionary database (Japanese dictionary, English-Japanese dictionary) whose contents are limited to one or two languages, that is, the headword and its meaning correspond to each headword information. When a jump search is performed, the meaning of the headword corresponding to the jump target word is detected from the database of the dictionary of the jump destination (target of the jump search) and displayed. .

Recently, a database of so-called multi-language dictionaries has been developed in which synonymous word strings between a plurality of languages are recorded in association with each other.

  The information display program 81 is a program according to the present invention, and is a program for causing the CPU 20 to execute a later-described dictionary search process (see FIGS. 5 and 6).

  The normal dictionary database 84 stores a plurality of types of headword information in which headwords made of a predetermined language are associated with meanings of the headwords made of a language different from the headword. In the present embodiment, the normal dictionary database 84a of the English-German dictionary, the normal dictionary database 84b of the German-English dictionary, or the like is used as the normal dictionary database 84. For example, in the normal dictionary database 84a of the English-German dictionary, as shown in an example in FIG. 3, German explanation information or the like including the meaning content of the headword is associated with the English headword. Stored. In the present embodiment, the meaning of the headword includes explanation information for explaining the headword, such as phonetic symbols and example sentences. The flash ROM 80 may further store a dictionary database that stores a plurality of types of headword information in which a plurality of headwords are associated with the meaning of the headword in the same language.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the multi-language dictionary database 85 stores a plurality of types of word string information in which synonymous word strings of different languages are associated with each other. Here, the word string is composed of at least one word, and may be a single word, or may be a plurality of words arranged in order such as a phrase or example sentence. In the present embodiment, the language of the word string is British English (EN), American English (AmE), German (DE or GE), Spanish (SP), French (FR), Italian (IT ) Etc. are used.

  The RAM 90 includes a memory area that temporarily holds various programs executed by the CPU 20 and data related to the execution of these programs. In the present embodiment, the RAM 90 includes an input character storage area 92, a jump target word storage area 94, an already displayed headword language storage area 95, a designated word string language storage area 96, and the like.

  Here, the input character storage area 92 stores input characters input by the user, and the jump target word storage area 94 stores jump target words.

  The displayed headword language storage area 95 stores the language type of the most recently displayed headword, and the designated word string language storage area 96 stores a dictionary search described later. The language type of the designated word string designated by the user in the processing (see FIGS. 5 and 6) is stored.

[Operation]
Next, the operation of the electronic dictionary 1 will be described.
5 and 6 are flowcharts showing the flow of dictionary search processing in which the CPU 20 reads and executes the information display program 81.

  First, as shown in FIG. 5, when the user presses the dictionary selection key 2d, the CPU 20 determines whether or not a dictionary search using the normal dictionary database 84, that is, a normal dictionary search is instructed (step S1). If it is determined that it has been determined (step S1; Yes), the meaning of any headword according to the operation of the input unit 30 by the user is read from the selected normal dictionary database 84 and displayed on the main display 10 (step S2). ). At this time, the CPU 20 stores the type of the displayed headword language in the displayed headword language storage area 95. Here, in the present embodiment, the language of the headword displayed and the language of the meaning are different from each other.

  Next, the CPU 20 determines whether or not a word string jump search for designating a multi-language dictionary is instructed by the user's operation of the jump key 2n or the like (step S3), and when it is determined that the instruction is not instructed (step S3; No) shifts to another process. In this embodiment, when the user operates the jump key 2n, word string search such as word search, example sentence search, and phrase search can be selected by the cursor key 2e and the translation / decision key 2b. When the word string search is selected / determined, the normal dictionary database 84 and the multi-language dictionary database 85 stored in the flash ROM 80 can be selected by the cursor key 2e and the translation / decision key 2b, and the user can select the multi-language dictionary database 85. Is selected and determined, a word string jump search designating a multi-language dictionary is instructed.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S3 that a word string jump search specifying a multi-language dictionary has been instructed (step S3; Yes), the CPU 20 displays a cursor on the main display 10 and enables word selection. Then, an arbitrary word in the display content is selected according to the operation of the cursor key 2e and the translation / decision key 2b by the user, and determined as a jump target word (step S4). At this time, the CPU 20 stores the determined jump target word in the jump target word storage area 94.

  Next, the CPU 20 searches the multi-language dictionary database 85 for a word string that includes the language of the jump target word and includes the jump target word, and displays a list on the main display 10 (step S5).

  Next, the CPU 20 selects an arbitrary word string from the word string list according to the operation of the cursor key 2e and the translation / decision key 2b by the user, and determines it as a designated word string (step S6). At this time, the CPU 20 stores the language type of the designated word string in the designated word string language storage area 96.

  Next, the CPU 20 searches the multi-language dictionary database 85 for word string information corresponding to the designated word string (hereinafter referred to as designated word string information), and then based on the information in the displayed word-word storage area 95. Of the word strings in each language in the detected designated word string information, the displayed headwords displayed before the jump search (the headwords displayed in the above-described step S2 and the later-described step S15) In the following, the word string consisting of the language of the displayed headword is identified and displayed on the top of the main display 10 as the headword, and the word string consisting of other languages is displayed below as the meaning. After (step S7), the dictionary search process is terminated. More specifically, at this time, the CPU 20 adds an arrow symbol Y (see FIG. 7C, etc.) to the designated word string designated in step S6 based on the information in the designated word string language storage area 96. The identification information is displayed on the main display 10. If the user instructs to output the word string immediately after step S7, the CPU 20 uses the speaker 5 to display the word string displayed as the headword with the pronunciation of the displayed headword language. The sound is output from (see FIG. 1).

  If it is determined in step S1 that normal dictionary search is not instructed (step S1; NO), the CPU 20 determines whether dictionary search by the multi-language dictionary database 85, that is, multi-language dictionary search is instructed. Is determined (step S10), and when it is determined that no instruction is given (step S10; No), the process proceeds to another process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S10 that multilingual dictionary search has been instructed (step S10; Yes), the CPU 20 displays the type of language recorded in the multilingual dictionary database 85 as shown in FIG. 10 is displayed as a list, and the input language is selected and determined according to the operation of the cursor key 2e and the translation / decision key 2b by the user (step S11).

  Next, the CPU 20 displays an input field for word string search such as word search, phrase search, and example sentence search on the main display 10, and inputs / determines the character string in the input field according to the operation of the character key 2c by the user. (Step S12).

  Next, the CPU 20 searches the multi-language dictionary database 85 for a word string that includes the determined character string among the word strings of the input language in step S11 and corresponds to the type of the input field, and displays a list on the main display 10. Displayed (step S13). Here, the word string corresponding to the type of the input field is a word string of the phrase when, for example, a character string is input to the input field of the phrase search.

  Next, the CPU 20 selects and determines an arbitrary word string in the display contents in accordance with the operation of the cursor key 2e and the translation / decision key 2b by the user (step S14).

  Next, the CPU 20 searches the multi-language dictionary database 85 for word string information corresponding to the selected word string, and selects the language selected in step S11 from the word strings of each language in the detected word string information. Is displayed as a headword on the top of the main display 10, and word strings composed of other languages are sequentially displayed on the lower side as meanings (step S15), and then the process proceeds to step S3 described above. . In step S <b> 15, the CPU 20 stores the language type of the displayed headword (word string) in the displayed headword language storage area 95.

[Operation example]
Next, the above dictionary search process will be specifically described with reference to FIGS.

  Next, when the English-language character string “move” is entered and determined in the example sentence search input field (step S12), the English-language example word string “Don't move him.” Is stored in the multi-language dictionary database. 85, and is displayed in a list on the main display 10 (step S13). When the word string “Don't move him.” Is selected and determined from the word string list (step S14), FIG. 9C shows. As shown in FIG. 4, among the word strings in each language (see FIG. 4) in the word string information corresponding to the selected word string “Don't move him.”, The word string consisting of the language selected in step S11 ( Example sentences) are displayed as headwords at the top of the main display 10, and word strings (example sentences) made up of other languages are sequentially displayed as word meanings on the lower side (step S15).

  Next, a word string jump search (example sentence jump search) specifying a multi-language dictionary is instructed by the user (step S3; Yes), and the German word “bewegen” in the display content is selected as a jump target word. When it is determined (step S4), as shown in FIG. 10A, a German word string (example sentences) “Bewegen Sie ihn ...”, “Ich kann mich nicht bewegen.” Including the jump target word “bewegen”. "Is retrieved from the multi-language dictionary database 85 and displayed in a list (step S5).

  Next, when the user selects and determines the word string “Bewegen Sie ihn...” From the word string list as the designated word string (step S6), as shown in FIG. Of each word string (see FIG. 4) in the corresponding designated word string information, the language of the displayed headword “Don't move him.”, That is, a British English word string (example sentence) “I can't move . ”Is identified and displayed at the top as a headword, and a word string (example sentence) composed of other languages is displayed on the lower side as a word meaning (step S7). At this time, the designated word string (German) “Bewegen Sie ihn...” Is identified and displayed by the arrow symbol Y.

  According to the electronic dictionary 1 described above, as shown in steps S2 to S7 in FIG. 5, FIG. 7, FIG. 8, etc., arbitrary headword information retrieved from the normal dictionary database 84 is displayed. When one word is designated as a jump target word within the meaning of the word output information, a word string that includes the language of the jump target word and includes the jump target word is retrieved from the multi-language dictionary database 85 and displayed in a list. When any one word string is designated as the designated word string, the designated word string information corresponding to the designated word string is read from the multi-language dictionary database 85 among the plurality of types of word string information. Since the word string composed of the languages of the displayed headwords is identified and displayed as a headword and the designated word string is one of the meanings, the language of the displayed headword is the headword language. Ri, the language of the specified word string becomes the language for one of the meaning. Therefore, unlike the prior art, the multi-language dictionary database 85 can be used as a jump destination dictionary database. In addition, since the headword word string and the meaning word string are identified and displayed in a language that the user intends to learn, that is, the language of the displayed headword and the designated word string, a learning effect is obtained for the user. Search results can be displayed.

  Further, as shown in steps S13 to S15 in FIG. 6, steps S3 to S7 in FIG. 5, FIG. 9, FIG. 10, etc., each word string in a user desired language including an arbitrary character string is displayed in a list. When any one word string is selected from the displayed word strings, the selected word string is used as a headword, and the word strings in each language of the word string information corresponding to the selected word string are used as meanings. When a word is designated as a jump target word within the displayed meaning, the word string including the jump target word is searched from the multi-language dictionary database 85 and displayed in a list. When any one of the displayed word strings is designated as the designated word string, the designated word string information corresponding to the designated word string is the multi-language among the plurality of types of word string information. Since the word string that is read from the book database 85 and consists of the language of the displayed headword is identified and displayed as the headword and the designated word string is defined as the meaning, the language of the displayed headword is the headword. The language of the designated word string is the language for one of the meanings. Therefore, unlike the conventional case, the multi-language dictionary can be the jump destination dictionary even from the display state of the search result by the multi-language dictionary.

  Further, as shown in step S7 of FIG. 5, FIG. 7C, etc., when any one word string is designated as the designated word string among the displayed word strings, the multi-language dictionary database 85 is displayed. Of the stored language of each word string, it consists of other languages except the language of the designated word string and the language of the displayed headword, and the word string corresponding to the designated word string information is combined with the designated word string. Therefore, the search result can be displayed so that the learning effect can be obtained more reliably for the user.
