DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for retrieving Chinese characters stored on a storage medium such as a CD.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, the contents of a Chinese-Japanese dictionary have been stored in a memory of a portable electronic device equipped with a power supply, CPU, input means, display means and the like, and an external storage medium usable in the electronic device. Kanji dictionaries are beginning to spread. If you want to look up detailed information such as how to read kanji or meaning in such a conventionally known electronic kanji dictionary, enter the radical name and stroke number of the corresponding kanji and call the radical on the display means, then After inputting the total number of strokes of the kanji or the number of strokes excluding radicals, display the kanji candidates to be found, select the appropriate kanji by a specific key operation, and display the reading, meaning, content, etc. on the display means It is supposed to.

[0003]

However, in the case of such conventional electronic kanji dictionaries, if there is no prior knowledge of the radicals such as bias, creation, drooping, surrounding and holding, etc., the radicals and corresponding kanjis are not known. Since the number of strokes cannot be counted accurately, the corresponding kanji cannot be called. In addition, when there are many kanji belonging to the radical, it may not be possible to display the kanji on the display means at a time, and it takes much time to call up the corresponding kanji on the display means.

[0004]

To solve the above problems, the present invention comprises a power supply, a CPU, a memory, an input means, a display means, and a storage medium, and inputs kanji recorded on the storage medium from the input means. Kanji is divided into multiple parts in the kanji search method called on the display
And read the reading of each part or combination of each part.
To store it in memory, and then read the
Search for the kanji stored in the storage means
If there is more than a predetermined number, read the part of the kanji
Further input the reading of the combination of goods and store it in memory,
Kanji candidates are narrowed down based on both readings stored in this memory.
Thus, the kanji stored in the storage means is searched .

[0005]

According to the above means, the number of kanji displayed on the display means can be narrowed down to an easily identifiable number by performing a search by a combination of readings of a plurality of parts constituting the kanji.

[0006]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an apparatus according to the kanji search method of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, a device used in the present invention comprises a portable device main body 4 having a CPU 2 driven by a power supply 1 and a memory 3 attached to the CPU 2, a display 5 comprising a screen such as a liquid crystal, and a keyboard 6. It has a built-in structure. And for example, "Kanji source"
An external storage means 7 such as a Kanji kanji (published by Gakken Co., Ltd.) or a CD (compact disk) storing the contents of a general Kanji dictionary can be detachably attached to the main body 4 of the apparatus. Has become.

In a table 1 described later of the storage means 7 , in addition to the contents of the "kanji source", all possible readings of parts constituting the kanji included in each kanji are stored. I have. For example, the characters "Kaoru" include parts such as "Voice", "Shi", "Mata", and "Ka", "Sun"
Because there are parts such as, "koe", "sei", "shi",
"Also", "Kou", "Kaori", "Hi", "Nichi",
And the like are stored.

When this is displayed on a display 5 having a size of 15 × 9 lines as shown in FIG. 2 and is input from the keyboard 6, first, “Please input a search word” on the first line
Is displayed, and further, questions such as "Reading parts 1", "Reading parts 2", "Reading parts 3" are displayed.
Therefore, in accordance with the question, possible readings are sequentially input as described above.

If the number of kanjis of the candidate is small, the kanji may be displayed simply by inputting "part reading 1", and the kanji may be displayed when the second reading is input. I can do it. If the number of candidates is large at that stage, the third reading can be further input to narrow down the number of candidates.

Next, the flow of the search method will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 3, 4, and 5. FIG. First, read “Parts 1”, “Parts 2” and “Parts” on the display 5.
The question "3" and an input field are displayed (STEP 1). Then, one reading of the part is input from the keyboard into the input field (STEP 2) of “Reading part 1” (STEP 2).
3). The input reading is stored in the memo Y1 of the memory 3 (STEP 4).

The table 1 (DM1-RDAT1) is searched with the reading stored in the memo Y1, and a corresponding kanji group is searched (STEP 5). Here, in the reading table of DM1 of Table 1, RDAT1 has data in which the corresponding kanji can be extracted according to the address of DM1. As a result of the search, all the corresponding kanji are stored in the memo K1, and C
The number of the kanji is stored in 1 (STEP 6). This number is 9
If it is smaller (STEP 7), the corresponding kanji is displayed on the display 5 (STEP 8). If the number is 9 or more, the corresponding kanji cannot be narrowed down enough.
The subroutine shown in FIG. 4 is executed.

At this time, the display 5 reads
In the input field of "2" (STEP 9), the reading of another part is input using a kana (STEP 10). The input reading is stored in the memo Y2 (STEP 11). In this memo Y2, the table 1 (DM1-RDAT1) is searched for a corresponding kanji group (STEP 12).

[0013] All the kanji that are searched are memo K2.
(STEP 13). Then, all the kanji present in both memos K1 and K2 are stored in memo K12, and memo C
The number of Chinese characters is stored in 2 (STEP 14). If this number is smaller than 9 (STEP 15), the corresponding kanji is displayed (STEP 16). If the number is 9 or more, the corresponding kanji cannot be narrowed down, and the subroutine shown in FIG. 5 is executed.

In the subroutine, the display 5
In the "Parts read 3" input field (STEP17),
The reading of parts other than those stored in the memos Y1 and Y2 is input (STEP 18). The input reading is memo Y3
(STEP 19). The table 1 (DM1-RDAT1) is searched in the memo Y3, and a corresponding kanji group is searched (STEP 20).

[0015] As a result of the search, all the relevant kanji are written in memo K
3 (STEP 21). This memo K3 and memo K
All the kanji present in both of them are stored in the memo K123 (STEP 22), and the number of kanji is stored in the memo C3.
At this time, even if the number of kanji is 9 or more, the cursor is operated on the display and sequentially displayed to obtain the desired kanji (S
TEP23). When the desired kanji is displayed, the detailed description described in the “kanji source” such as the meaning, the kanji, and the idiom of the kanji is extracted by operating the cursor (STE).
P24).

If there is no new reading in STEP 18, the kanji stored in memo K12 is stored in memo K123 by pressing the YES key (STEP 2).
5) The number of Chinese characters stored in memo C2 is stored in memo C3 (STEP 26). Thereafter, the user operates the cursor or the like in STEP 23 to sequentially display the corresponding kanji to obtain detailed information of the kanji to be obtained.

[0017]

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, even a person who does not know much about kanji can disassemble the kanji into a plurality of parts and
You can input readings of parts or combinations of parts.
And, the narrowing of the number easy to identify the kanji candidate obtains Chinese characters can be easily and quickly displayed on the display means, the detailed information of the Chinese characters can be easily obtained.
