Description

  The present invention relates to an information display device and an information display program.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an electronic dictionary as a kind of information display device has a dictionary database that stores each headword and explanation information of the headword in association with each other, and the headword corresponding to the inputted character is stored. The explanation information is read from the dictionary database, and the headword and the explanation information are displayed.

  In recent years, some electronic dictionaries have a so-called jump search function. With the jump search function, when the user selects a word in the explanation information while the explanation information is displayed, the headword corresponding to the word is searched again in the jump destination, that is, the re-search destination dictionary. It is a function. Specifically, when the jump search function is executed with the explanation information displayed, the desired word on the display screen is a new search target, that is, the jump target word, according to the operation of the cursor key or the enter key. Is selected from the dictionary database, and the headword and the explanation information are displayed.

In recent years, electronic dictionaries equipped with such a jump search function have been equipped with a plurality of dictionary databases, and it has become possible to select a re-search destination by the jump search function, that is, a dictionary database of a jump destination. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

  The CPU 20 executes processing based on a predetermined program in accordance with an input instruction, performs an instruction to each function unit, data transfer, and the like, and comprehensively controls the electronic dictionary 1. Specifically, the CPU 20 reads various programs stored in the flash ROM 80 according to an operation signal or the like input from the input unit 30, and executes processing according to the program. Then, the CPU 20 stores the processing result in the RAM 90, and causes the display unit 40 and the like to output the processing result as appropriate.

  The flash ROM 80 is a memory that stores programs and data for realizing various functions of the electronic dictionary 1. In the present embodiment, the flash ROM 80 stores an information display program 81 according to the present invention, a dictionary database group 82, a native language storage table 85, a specifiable language type storage table 86, and the like.

  The information display program 81 is a program for causing the CPU 20 to execute a user language setting process (see FIG. 5) and a dictionary search process (see FIG. 7) which will be described later.

  The dictionary database group 82 has a plurality of dictionary databases 84,... In this embodiment, the dictionary database 84a of the “Ji * Nias English-Japanese Dictionary”, the dictionary database 84b of the Japanese-English dictionary, ”Reverse pulling wide ○ 苑” (Japanese dictionary) dictionary database 84c, English-English dictionary database 84d, English conversation dictionary database 84e, Encyclopedia dictionary database 84f, German-Japanese dictionary database 84g, Japanese-German dictionary It has a database 84h, an English-German dictionary database 84i, an English-English dictionary database 84j, an English-German dictionary database 84k, and the like.

  In these dictionary databases 84, as shown in an example in FIG. 3, for example, explanation information including the meaning contents of the headwords is stored in association with a plurality of headwords.

  The native language storage table 85 stores the language type (language name) of the language set as the user's native language in the user language setting process (see FIG. 5) described later. When there are a plurality of users of the electronic dictionary 1, the native language for each user may be stored in the native language storage table 85.

  As shown in FIG. 4A, the specifiable language type storage table 86 indicates that the type of language to which the character that can be specified as the first character of the jump target word belongs (hereinafter referred to as the specifiable language type) is the dictionary database 84. Are associated with each language type that can be set as the user's native language. Note that the dictionary with the dictionary name “miscellaneous learning” in the specifiable language type storage table 86 is, for example, an encyclopedia or the like, and the language type “all characters valid” is a language type in which all language types can be specified. It is shown that.

  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 this embodiment, the RAM 90 includes a selection dictionary storage area 91, an input character storage area 92, a designated entry storage area 93, a jump target word storage area 94, a cursor position storage area 95, a movement direction storage area 96, and A destination cursor position storage area 97 is provided.

  Here, the selected dictionary storage area 91 stores identification information (dictionary name) of the dictionary database 84 selected by the user as a search target for the headword, and the input character storage area 92 stores the identification information. The input characters input by the user are stored. Also, the designated headword storage area 93 stores the designated headword selected and designated by the user as the headword to be dictionaryd. In the present embodiment, the designated headword in the present embodiment is based on a list of headwords read from the dictionary database in alphabetical order or in Japanese alphabetical order so as to match the input character or the designated character in front. It is to be selected.

  The jump target word storage area 94 stores at least one jump target word starting from the character designated to be reversed by the cursor. However, when there is no word beginning with the reverse designated character, the jump target word is not stored in the jump target word storage area 94.

  The cursor position storage area 95 stores the current cursor position, more specifically, the position of the character that has been specified to be reversed by the cursor.

  In the movement direction storage area 96, the direction designated by the cursor key 2e (hereinafter referred to as “movement direction”) is stored as the movement direction of the cursor.

  In the move destination cursor position storage area 97, a character position (hereinafter referred to as “move target character position”) that is provisionally determined as a move destination of the cursor in a specifiable language type cursor designation process (see FIG. 8) described later. It has come to be remembered.

[Operation]
Next, the operation of the electronic dictionary 1 will be described separately for user language setting processing and dictionary search processing.

(User language setting process)
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of user language setting processing in which the CPU 20 reads and executes the information display program 81.

  As shown in FIG. 6, when the user operates the menu key 2j or the like to instruct execution of the native language setting mode, the CPU 20 sets a language for setting the user's native language as shown in FIG. A setting screen is displayed on the main display 10 (step S1).

  Next, when the user operates the cursor key 2e or the translation / decision key 2b to set any language as the native language (step S2), the CPU 20 stores the language name of the language in the native language storage table 85. The user language setting process is terminated. FIG. 6 shows a state where Japanese is set as the native language.

(Dictionary search process)
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the flow of dictionary search processing in which the CPU 20 reads and executes the information display program 81.

  As shown in the figure, first, after the dictionary selection key 2d is pressed by the user to select any dictionary database 84 from the dictionary database group 82 (step T1), a search character string is input (step T2). The CPU 20 stores the dictionary name of the selected dictionary database 84 in the selected dictionary storage area 91 and stores the search character string in the input character storage area 92, and then corresponds to the input search character string. The candidate words are searched from the selected dictionary database 84, and each detected word is displayed in a list on the main display 10 (step T3).

  Next, when any headword is selected by the user via the cursor key 2e (step T4), the CPU 20 stores the headword in the designated headword storage area 93, and this headword. Word explanation information is searched from the selected dictionary database 84 and displayed on the main display 10 in full screen (step T5).

  Next, the CPU 20 determines whether or not the “language type jump key” is operated by the user, that is, whether or not the jump key 2n and the shift key 2f are operated (step T6), and determines that the user does not operate. In the case (step T6; No), it is determined whether or not the jump key 2n is operated (step T7).

  If it is determined in step T7 that the jump key 2n is not operated (step T7; No), the CPU 20 proceeds to another process. On the other hand, if it is determined in step T7 that the jump key 2n has been operated (step T7; Yes), the CPU 20 sets the first character of the explanation information displayed on the main display 10 as the first character of the jump target word. After the reverse designation with the cursor as a character, based on the operation of the cursor key 2e by the user, the cursor position is moved by one character in the direction of the cursor key 2e between the characters of all language types in the displayed explanation information ( Step T8). Further, the CPU 20 stores the current cursor position in the cursor position storage area 95.

  Next, the CPU 20 determines whether or not the translation / decision key 2b is operated by the user (step T9). If it is determined that the user does not operate (step T9; No), the process proceeds to the above-described step T8. If it is determined that it has been operated (step T9; Yes), the word starting from the character at the cursor position is stored in the jump target word storage area 94 as the jump target word, and the found word corresponding to the word is stored. Are searched from each dictionary database 84 (step T10), the detected headwords and the dictionary names of the dictionary database 84 are displayed as a list on the main display 10, and the process proceeds to the above-described step T4.

  When it is determined in step T6 described above that the “language type jump key” has been operated (step T6; Yes), the CPU 20 selects the first character in the explanation information displayed on the main display 10. After the reverse designation is made with the cursor as the first character of the jump target word, the in-designable language type cursor designation processing is performed in which only the characters belonging to the predetermined language type are designated with the cursor as the first character of the jump target word (step T11).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, the CPU 20 designates the first character of the explanation information displayed on the main display 10 in reverse with the cursor as the first character of the jump target word, and at the current cursor position. Is stored in the cursor position storage area 95, and it is determined in turn whether or not the user operates the right key, left key, up key, and down key of the cursor key 2e (steps T31 to T34).

  If it is determined that none of the right key, left key, up key, and down key is operated (steps T31 to T34; No), the CPU 20 ends the specifiable language type cursor designation process, As shown in FIG. 7, it is determined whether or not the translation / decision key 2b is operated by the user (step T12). If it is determined that the user does not operate (step T12; No), the process of step T11 described above is performed. If it is determined that the operation has been performed (step T12; Yes), the process proceeds to the above-described step T10.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8, when it is determined in step T31 that the right key has been operated (step T31; Yes), the CPU 20 moves the “movement direction” as the “next character” direction, that is, the right direction. The data is stored in the direction storage area 96 (step T35), and the process proceeds to step T41 described later.

  If it is determined in step T32 that the left key is operated (step T32; Yes), the CPU 20 stores the “movement direction” in the movement direction storage area 96 as the direction of the “previous character”, that is, the left direction. (Step T36), the process proceeds to Step T41 described later.

  If it is determined in step T33 that the up key has been operated (step T33; Yes), the CPU 20 stores the “movement direction” in the movement direction storage area 96 as the direction of the “previous character”, that is, the upward direction. (Step T36), the process proceeds to Step T41 described later.

  If it is determined in step T34 that the down key has been operated (step T34; Yes), the CPU 20 stores the “movement direction” in the “next line character” direction, that is, the downward direction in the movement direction storage area 96. (Step T36).

  Next, the CPU 20 refers to the specifiable language type storage table 86 and uses the language name of the native language stored in the native language storage table 85 and the dictionary name stored in the selected dictionary storage area 91 to jump to the target word. The language type that can be designated is acquired (step T41).

  Next, the CPU 20 temporarily determines the current cursor position as the “movement target character position” and stores it in the movement destination cursor position storage area 97 (step T42), and then stores the “movement” stored in the movement direction storage area 96. The information in the movement destination cursor position storage area 97 is updated so that the “movement target character position” moves by one character in the “direction” (step T43).

  Next, the CPU 20 determines whether or not the specifiable language type acquired in step T41 matches the language type of the character in the “movement target character position” (step T44). In step T44; No), the process proceeds to the above-described step T43, and when it is determined that they match (step T44; Yes), the “movement target character position” in the movement destination cursor position storage area 97 is set to the next cursor. The display content of the main display 10 is changed as the position, and is stored in the cursor position storage area 95 (step T45), and the specifiable language type in-cursor specification processing is terminated.

  As a result, among the characters of each language type in the description information displayed on the main display 10, the language name of the native language stored in the native language storage table 85 and the dictionary name stored in the selected dictionary storage area 91. The cursor moves between the characters belonging to the language type stored in the specifiable language type storage table 86 in association with each other.

  For example, when a user whose native language is German performs a jump search by using any word in the display contents in German and English as a jump target word, the language name “ After the “German” is stored, the dictionary database 84 i of the English-German dictionary is selected (step T 1), and the explanation information of the head word “get” is displayed on the main display 10 in full screen (step T 5). When the “Language type jump key” is operated (step T6; Yes), it is assumed that the user is trying to perform a jump search for an English word that is not his / her own skill (non-native language) among German and English. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9, the cursor is moved between the characters of the specifiable language type (English) indicated by shading in the figure by operating the cursor key 2e. And thus to.

  Similarly, for example, when a user whose native language is Japanese performs a jump search by using any word as a jump target word from the display contents in Japanese and English, specifically, in the native language storage table 85. With the language name “Japanese” stored, the dictionary database 84a of “JiNias English-Japanese Dictionary” is selected (step T1), and the explanation information of the headword “doctor” is displayed on the main display 10 in full screen. After (step T5), when the “jump key within language type” is operated (step T6; Yes), the user is not familiar with English words (not native language) among Japanese and English. Since it is considered that a jump search is going to be performed, as shown in FIG. 10, by the operation of the cursor key 2e, a sentence of the specifiable language type (English) indicated by shading in the figure The cursor becomes possible to move between.

  Further, for example, when a user whose native language is Japanese performs a jump search using any word in the display contents in Japanese as a jump target word, specifically, the language name “ In a state where “Japanese” is stored, the dictionary database 84c of “Hiro ○ 苑 / Reverse Look Hiro ○ 苑” (Japanese dictionary) is selected (step T1), and the explanation information of the headword “to” is displayed on the main display 10. When the “Language type jump key” is operated (Step T6; Yes) after the full screen display (Step T5), it is considered that the user is further searching for a Japanese word. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11, the cursor moves between characters of the specifiable language type (Japanese) by operating the cursor key 2e. FIG. 11 shows a state where the cursor has moved to the position of the Japanese character “leak”.

  According to the electronic dictionary 1 described above, as shown in steps T10 and T4 to T5 in FIG. 7, in response to the designation of the headword by the user operation, there are a plurality of pieces of explanation information corresponding to the designated headword. After the selected dictionary database 84 is retrieved from the dictionary database 84 and displayed on the main display 10, any character in the displayed description information is designated based on the user operation, that is, the character Is designated as the jump target word, the description information of the headword corresponding to the jump target word is retrieved from one of the plurality of dictionary databases 84 and displayed. Therefore, a jump search can be performed for any word in the explanation information displayed earlier.

  Further, as shown in steps T41 to T45 of FIG. 8 and FIG. 4, the specifiable language type storage table 86 stores, for each dictionary database 84, the language type to which the character that can be specified as the first character of the jump target word belongs. Of the characters of each language type in the description information previously displayed on the main display 10, the language type stored in the specifiable language type storage table 86 in association with the dictionary database 84 searched for the description information. Since the cursor moves between the characters belonging to, it is possible to move the cursor while omitting characters of the language type not specified as the jump target word. Therefore, it is possible to facilitate selection of a word to be jumped, compared to the conventional case where the cursor is moved between characters of all language types.

  Further, as shown in steps T41 to T45 of FIG. 8 and FIG. 4, the language type storage table to which the language type to which the character that can be specified as the jump target word belongs is associated with each language type and each dictionary database 84. 86 and stored in association with the dictionary database 84 searched for the description information and the user's native language among the characters of each language type in the description information previously displayed on the main display 10. Since the cursor moves between characters belonging to the language type, it is possible to move the cursor while reliably omitting characters of the language type not designated as the jump target word.

  Also, as shown in steps T6 to T7 in FIG. 7, the cursor is moved between characters of all language types in the description information displayed on the main display 10 earlier, or each of the description information displayed earlier is displayed. Selecting whether to move the cursor between characters belonging to the language type stored in the specifiable language type storage table 86 in association with the dictionary database 84 searched for the explanation information among the characters of the language type Therefore, the cursor can be moved between characters of all language types in the previously displayed explanation information, as in the conventional case.

  The embodiments to which the present invention can be applied are not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be appropriately changed without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

  For example, the information display device according to the present invention has been described as the electronic dictionary 1, but those to which the present invention is applicable are not limited to such products, and can be applied to electronic devices such as mobile phones and personal computers. . Further, the information display program 81 according to the present invention may be stored in a memory card, CD, or the like that can be attached to and detached from the electronic dictionary 1.

  In step T11 and step T8, it has been described that a character string composed of one character is designated by the cursor. However, a character string composed of a plurality of characters, for example, the entire jump target word is designated. It is also good.

  In step T43, the information in the movement destination cursor position storage area 97 is updated so that the “movement target character position” moves by one character toward the “movement direction” stored in the movement direction storage area 96. However, the information in the movement destination cursor position storage area 97 may be updated so that the “movement target character position” moves by one word toward the “movement direction”.

  The dictionary database group 82 includes dictionary databases 84a to 84f in which explanation information or headwords are written in English or Japanese, and dictionary databases 84g to 84k in which explanation information or headwords are written in German. The specifiable language type storage table 86 stores specifiable language types (Japanese, English, German, etc.) associated with Japanese, English, and German as native language types. In the case where only dictionary databases 84a to 84f in which explanation information or headwords are described in English or Japanese are provided in the dictionary database group 82, the specifiable language type storage table 86 includes The specifiable language type may be stored in association with only Japanese and English as the language type of the native language. In this case, since the only language type to which the alphabetic characters belong is English, the specifiable language type storage table 86 includes Japanese and Japanese as the native language type as shown in FIG. A character type (Japanese or alphabet) of a specifiable language may be stored in association with English.
