FIG. 5 is a flowchart of an operation example of the device system and FIG.
[0027]
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the electronic device system 1 includes, for example, an electronic dictionary 2 and a recording medium 3 that can be attached to and detached from the electronic dictionary 2.
[0028]
Here, the recording medium refers to a recording medium using, for example, a flash memory as a recording element (hereinafter simply referred to as “recording medium”).
[0029]
The electronic dictionary 2 is configured to be folded up as shown in FIG. 2, for example, and includes an input / output unit 4 for inputting / outputting language information and language learning information, and an interface for attaching / detaching the recording medium 3 to / from the electronic dictionary 2. A control unit 6 that controls input / output and selection of information, a power supply unit 7 that supplies power to each unit of the electronic dictionary 2, and the like.
[0030]
In addition, the input / output unit 4 includes, for example, an input key 9 for inputting a headline character, an image display device 10 for displaying language information, text information of language learning information, and the like, and a sound for outputting voices such as language pronunciation of language learning. An output device 11, a pointing device 12 that controls a pointer in the image, and a rotary dial 13 that can easily retrieve language information and the like while holding the electronic dictionary 2 with one hand.
[0031]
The input key 9 includes, for example, a character key 9a for inputting characters such as headings and a selection key 9b for selecting various functions.
[0032]
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, for example, the image display device 10 is formed so that the display surface 10a is on the inner surface of one side of the electronic dictionary 2 that can be folded in half. For example, a color liquid crystal display device is used. It has been.
[0033]
The audio output device 11 is incorporated above the selection key 9b on the main body side of the electronic dictionary 2 that is not the image display device 10 side of the electronic dictionary 2 in which the speaker 11a can be folded as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, for example. Since the output terminal 14 is provided on the two side surfaces, a headphone 15 (not shown) can be connected to listen to the sound.
[0034]
  In addition, the audio output device 11 is provided with a pitch control so that the audio can be speed controlled.GIt may be possible to roll and hear a natural sound.
[0035]
Furthermore, a noise canceling circuit is provided in the audio output device 11 so that a current for noise canceling can be supplied from the power supply unit 7 so that the headphones 15 have a noise canceling function, and the surrounding noise is canceled in a noisy train. You may make it let it. As a result, a clear voice can be heard at any place and a battery unit for noise cancellation can be omitted, so that weight reduction and cost reduction can be achieved.
[0036]
The pointing device 12 is a cursor operation mechanism such as a trackball type or a slide pad type.
[0037]
Further, the rotary dial 13 can easily retrieve language information and the like by rotating the dial with a finger without using the character key 9a. Thereby, for example, even a 3-year-old child or a 4-year-old child can easily select a target word simply by turning the dial while looking at the display surface 10a, and the range of learners can be widened.
[0038]
For example, as shown in FIG. 2, two interface units 5 are arranged on the side surface in parallel, and a memory slot 17 is provided so that the recording medium 3 can be attached and detached. Thereby, for example, two recording media 3 can be mounted simultaneously, and the function of the electronic device system 1 can be further expanded.
[0039]
Further, as shown in FIG. 3, for example, the control unit 6 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 18 that performs calculation and control, and temporarily stores headlines, language information, language learning information, various data, software, and the like as necessary. Random access memory (RAM) 19, ROM (read only memory) 20, data storage unit 21, and software storage unit in which various kinds of software are stored for recording and controlling the electronic dictionary 2 that is an electronic device more smoothly 24 is provided.
[0040]
Here, the language information corresponding to each of a plurality of headings is stored in the data storage unit 21 in advance as, for example, dictionary data 22 such as English characters in an English-Japanese dictionary and their Japanese translations, and information on the progress of language learning, for example. It is stored as progress status data 23 for each end.
[0041]
The software storage unit 24 includes an information reading mechanism 25, an image output mechanism 26, an audio output mechanism 27, a dictionary function mechanism 28, an information writing mechanism 29, and the like.
[0042]
Here, the information reading mechanism 25 determines whether or not the recording medium 3 is mounted in the memory slot 17 under the control of the CPU 18, and when it is determined that the recording medium 3 is mounted, it is further recorded on the recording medium 3. Read information.
[0043]
In addition, when the CPU 18 receives, for example, a headline in English characters as information, the information reading mechanism 25 selects and reads corresponding language information such as a Japanese translation from the dictionary data 22 of the data storage unit 21.
[0044]
The image output mechanism 26 receives each input information input from the input key 9 and the like under the control of the CPU 18 and image information sent from the information reading mechanism 25 and the dictionary function mechanism 28 as character information, for example, as character information. hand over.
[0045]
Further, the audio output mechanism 27 passes audio information recorded on the recording medium 3, for example, sent under the control of the CPU 18 to the audio output device 11 in accordance with the screen information.
[0046]
The dictionary function mechanism 28 determines whether or not the dictionary function is selected based on information input from the input key 9 or the like under the control of the CPU 18, and when determining that the dictionary function is selected, the dictionary function mechanism 28 determines the target function from the input information. Identify the headline.
[0047]
In addition, the information writing mechanism 29, for example, linguistic information or the like input to the electronic dictionary 2 by the input key 9 or the recording medium 3 or the like is newly updated under the control of the CPU 18 by the dictionary data 22 of the data storage unit 21 or other recording medium 3 or the like. To record.
[0048]
Furthermore, the power supply unit 7 includes a power switch 30 and, for example, a dry battery.
[0049]
Next, the operation of the electronic device system 1, which is an electronic device configured as described above, will be described focusing on language learning.
[0050]
First, in the case of language learning information, for example, radio English conversation, the recording medium 3 on which the text information and voice information are recorded is loaded in the memory slot 17 as shown in FIG.
[0051]
Next, when the power is turned on by the power switch 30 of the electronic dictionary 2 (ST101), the CPU 18 causes the information reading mechanism 25 to determine whether or not the recording medium 3 is loaded in the memory slot 17 (ST102).
[0052]
If it is determined that the recording medium 3 is loaded in the memory slot 17, the information reading mechanism 25 reads the type and content of the recording medium 3 (ST103). For example, if the type is language learning information, the CPU 18 displays the text information of the radio English conversation as the content on the display surface 10a by the image output mechanism 26, and outputs the voice information via the speaker 11a by the voice output mechanism 27 ( ST104).
[0053]
When the recording medium 3 is inserted into the memory slot 17, for example, the memory slot 17 converts the pressing of the recording medium 3 into an electric signal and transmits the information to the information reading mechanism 25 under the control of the CPU 18. It may be determined that the recording medium 3 is loaded, and the information reading mechanism 25 may read the type and content of the recording medium 3.
[0054]
The CPU 18 can cause the image output mechanism 26 and the sound output mechanism 27 to display, for example, the first screen of radio English conversation on the display surface 10a and output sound corresponding to the image via the speaker 11a to start from the beginning.
[0055]
Further, the CPU 18 reads the progress information of the previous language learning from the progress data 23 of the data storage unit 21 by, for example, operating the indicator on the display surface 10a or by the information reading mechanism 25, so that the previous continuation can be easily performed. It can also be started.
[0056]
Here, in the case of a disc medium, if a cue review (fast forward / rewind with audio) is performed, a time lag until the disc rotation occurs, so no audio or the like is output quickly, but it is an IC (Integrated Circuit) media. According to the recording medium 3, the response is extremely quick and efficient language learning is possible.
[0057]
Thus, language learning is started (ST105).
[0058]
Next, for example, an operation when the Japanese translation of the word “sip” displayed on the display surface 10a during language learning is not known will be described.
[0059]
At any time during language learning, for example, if the heading which is the word “sip” displayed on the display surface 10 a is designated by the pointing device 12 and the selection key 9 b is pressed, the information is transmitted to the dictionary function mechanism 28 under the control of the CPU 18. The dictionary function mechanism 28 determines that the dictionary function is used and the object is the word “sip” (ST106, ST107).
[0060]
Then, the CPU 18 passes information indicating that the dictionary function is used and the object is the word “sip” to the information reading mechanism 25, and the information reading mechanism 25 adds “sip” to the dictionary data 22 in the data storage unit 21. It is determined whether there is language information corresponding to the headline (ST108).
[0061]
When it is determined that the information is in the information reading mechanism 25, the CPU 18 reads the language information from the dictionary data 22 (ST109), and delivers the language information to the image output mechanism 26.
[0062]
The CPU 18 causes the image output mechanism 26 to display the image information of the language information on the display surface 10a of the image display device 10 as shown in FIG. 5, for example (ST110).
[0063]
Thus, abundant language information originally stored in the data storage unit 21 as a dictionary function can be used without installing another recording medium 3 on which language information is newly recorded in the memory slot 17 of the electronic dictionary 2. Thus, the meaning of words and the like can be easily checked with one electronic device system 1 during language learning, and the efficiency and simplification of language learning can be achieved.
[0064]
Next, the CPU 18 causes the dictionary function mechanism 28 to determine whether to continue using the dictionary function (ST111). For example, if the language information is displayed on the display surface 10a using the dictionary function and no input is made even after a predetermined time has elapsed, it is determined that the dictionary function is not used, and the language screen is returned to the original language learning screen. Learning may be continued (ST112).
[0065]
Further, when all the language learning programs are completed or the language learning is stopped by the selection key 9b, the language learning is ended (ST113).
[0066]
At this time, when the language learning is ended halfway, the CPU 18 can record the progress status data of the language learning in the progress status data 23 of the data storage unit 21 for the next time. Then, when continuing the next language learning, for example, the CPU 18 first selects the continuation with the selection key 9b, and causes the information reading mechanism 25 to read the progress status data of the previous language learning from the progress status data 23 of the data storage unit 21, Language learning can be started from there.
[0067]
Further, the electronic dictionary 2 can be used as an original dictionary function even if no recording medium 3 is loaded in the memory slot 17. For example, when the information reading mechanism 25 determines that the recording medium 3 is not loaded in ST102, the CPU 18 determines that the recording medium 3 is to be used as a dictionary, and transfers the information to the dictionary function mechanism 28 (ST114).
[0068]
Then, the CPU 18 selects the English-Japanese dictionary with the selection key 9b and the like, and inputs "sip", for example, with the character key 9a and specifies the target (ST107), and transmits the information to the information reading mechanism 25.
[0069]
Further, when the CPU 18 determines by the information reading mechanism 25 that the language information corresponding to the heading “sip” exists in the dictionary data 22 of the data storage unit 21 (ST108), the information reading mechanism 25 receives the corresponding language information. (ST109), for example, is transferred to the image output mechanism 26 as image information.
[0070]
Then, the CPU 18 causes the image output mechanism 26 to send image information such as a Japanese translation of “sip” to the image display device 10, and displays the contents on the display surface 10a (ST110).
[0071]
Thereafter, the CPU 18 determines whether to use the dictionary function by the dictionary function mechanism 28 (ST111). For example, when a predetermined time elapses without any input, it is determined that the dictionary function is not used, and the dictionary function is terminated. You may do it.
[0072]
On the other hand, when the CPU 18 determines in ST108 that the language information corresponding to the heading “sip” is not present in the dictionary data 22 of the data storage unit 21 by the information reading mechanism 25, the recording medium 3 loaded in the memory slot 17 is stored. The information reading mechanism 25 determines whether there is any language information (ST115).
[0073]
Thus, when it is determined that there is language information in the recording medium 3, the CPU 18 further determines whether there is language information corresponding to the heading “sip” by the information reading mechanism 25 (ST117). When it is determined by the information reading mechanism 25, the language information is read by the information reading mechanism 25, and for example, the read language information is transferred to the image output mechanism 26 as image information. Since the operation is the same as the case where there is language information corresponding to the dictionary data 22 such as displaying the contents on the surface 10a (ST110), the description thereof is omitted.
[0074]
On the other hand, if the CPU 18 determines that there is no language information in the recording medium 3 by the information reading mechanism 25 in ST115 or there is some language information in the recording medium 3 in ST117, the language information corresponding to the heading “sip”. If not, for example, information indicating that the language information is not present is transmitted to the image output mechanism 26, and the image display mechanism 10 causes the image display device 10 to display an error on the display surface 10a (ST116).
[0075]
Thereby, the CPU 18 determines whether to use the dictionary function continuously by the dictionary function mechanism 28 (ST118). For example, when a predetermined time has passed without any input, it is determined that the dictionary function is not used, and the dictionary function is terminated. You may make it let it.
[0076]
Further, the CPU 18 makes the dictionary function mechanism 28 determine that the dictionary function is continuously used, for example, when the character key 9a is newly input within a predetermined time or when the recording medium 3 is newly loaded, ST107. It is also possible to return to.
[0077]
Further, in ST117, when the information reading mechanism 25 determines that the language information corresponding to the heading “sip” exists in the recording medium 3, the language information is read and the content is displayed on the display surface 10a (ST110). However, at this time, when the CPU 18 receives the information that the language information corresponding to the heading “sip” is added to the dictionary data 22 and recorded by the selection key 9b or the like, the information writing mechanism 29 receives the information. The language information corresponding to the heading “sip” can be added and recorded in the dictionary data 22 of the data storage unit 21 by the information writing mechanism 29.
[0078]
As a result, the existing dictionary data 22 in the electronic dictionary 2 can be further customized as dictionary data 22 suitable for the learner, and the electronic dictionary 2 can be customized.
[0079]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, the electronic apparatus system 1 includes the recording medium 3 having the recording unit in which the language learning information including at least the heading corresponding to the language information used for language learning is recorded, and at least the recording medium 3. Is output based on the language learning information recorded in the interface unit 5 to which the detachable interface unit 5 is attached and the language learning information attached thereto, and at least one of voice information and image information necessary for language learning is output, and is found in the image information. The electronic dictionary 2 can output the language information corresponding to the heading from the data storage unit 21 when it is included, so that it is easy to input the heading without using the input key 9 one by one. The necessary language information can be obtained immediately by simple operation, and efficient language learning can be performed with one unit regardless of the place.
[0080]
Further, another recording medium 3 having different recording contents is further provided, and when the recording medium 3 is loaded into the memory slot 17, for example, new language information recorded in the recording medium 3 is recorded in the dictionary data 22. And also includes means for outputting new language information corresponding to the heading from the dictionary data 22 when the heading is included in the image information during language learning. Even if the storage capacity is small, a wide variety of language information can be read from the recording medium 3 to obtain language information as a dictionary function.
[0081]
Further, the plurality of language information stored in the data storage unit 21 can be edited based on language learning information or language information recorded in the recording medium 3 mounted in the memory slot 17 and has an information writing mechanism 29. In addition, a plurality of language information stored in the data storage unit 21 can be freely edited and new language information can be registered. For example, an important vocabulary can be edited in red based on the language information. Language learning that matches the progress of users' academic ability is possible.
[0082]
Further, since the electronic dictionary 2 has the information writing mechanism 29 and two memory slots 17 are provided, for example, two recording media 3 can be mounted at the same time, and the acquisition of information from the recording media 3 is doubled. In addition, information can be recorded from one recording medium 3 to another recording medium 3.
[0083]
Next, an electronic device system according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. Also in the present embodiment, an electronic dictionary will be described as an example of an electronic device system as in the first embodiment. In addition, the same code | symbol shall be attached | subjected about the component same as the component shown by 1st Embodiment by the following description, and the description is abbreviate | omitted.
[0084]
FIG. 6 is a schematic external view of an electronic device system according to the second embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 7 is a block diagram centering on the control unit of the electronic dictionary according to the second embodiment, and FIG. FIG. 9 is a flowchart of the voice comparison operation example and FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram of a voice comparison screen example.
[0085]
As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the electronic device system 101 includes, for example, an electronic dictionary 102 and a recording medium 3 that can be attached to and detached from the electronic dictionary 102.
[0086]
Here, for example, the electronic dictionary 102 is configured to be folded up as shown in FIG. 2, and the input / output unit 104 that inputs / outputs language information, language learning information, and the like, and the recording medium 3 are attached to and detached from the electronic dictionary 102. Interface section 5, control section 106 that controls input / output and selection of information, and power supply section 7 that supplies power to each section of electronic dictionary 102.
[0087]
The input / output unit 104 also includes, for example, an input key 9 for inputting a headline character, an image display device 10 for displaying text information of language information and language learning information, and a voice for outputting voices such as language pronunciation of language learning. Used for the output device 11, the pointing device 12 for controlling the pointer in the image, the dial 13 for easily searching the language information etc. while holding the electronic dictionary 102 with one hand, and comparing the own voice with the voice of the model A voice input device 108 and the like are included.
[0088]
For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the voice input device 108 has a built-in microphone 108 a above the display surface 10 a of the electronic dictionary 102, and can input its own voice to the electronic device system 101 regardless of location and time.
[0089]
Further, as shown in FIG. 7, for example, the control unit 106 stores a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 18 that performs calculation and control, and temporarily records headlines, language information, language learning information, various data, software, and the like as necessary. And a RAM (Random Access Memory) 19, ROM (Read Only Memory) 20, a data storage unit 21, and a software storage unit 124 in which various software are stored. Yes.
[0090]
The software storage unit 124 includes an information reading mechanism 25, an image output mechanism 26, an audio output mechanism 27, a dictionary function mechanism 28, an information writing mechanism 29, an audio input mechanism 131, an audio comparison mechanism 132, and the like.
[0091]
Here, the image output mechanism 26 receives, for example, text information input from the input key 9 under the control of the CPU 18, image information sent from the information reading mechanism 25, the voice comparison mechanism 132, and the like to the image display device 10. Output as information and video information.
[0092]
The voice input mechanism 131 records the voice information input by the microphone 108a in the temporary RAM 19 or the like when the voice input is selected by the selection key 9b during the lower language learning under the control of the CPU 18, for example.
[0093]
Further, the voice comparison mechanism 132 receives the voice information of the model specified by the pointing device 12 under the control of the CPU 18 or the input key 9 and compares it with the recorded voice information, for example, for each voice print. The result is used as image information.
[0094]
The voice comparison mechanism 132 also stores information such as how to move the mouth correctly under the control of the CPU 18 in the language learning information and the data storage unit 21 of the recording medium 3 installed in the memory slot 17 of the electronic dictionary 102 as necessary. Image information can be obtained from the dictionary data 22 or the like. Thus, for example, the user's voice can be corrected by looking at a model in one electronic dictionary 102, and more efficient language learning is possible.
[0095]
Next, the operation of the electronic device system 101, which is an electronic device configured as described above, will be described focusing on language learning. The operation of the electronic device system 101 according to the second embodiment is substantially the same as the operation of the electronic device system 1 according to the first embodiment. Since it is in the point which can compare the audio | voice and the audio | voice of a model, it demonstrates centering on the point.
[0096]
First, when it is determined by the information reading mechanism 25 that the recording medium 3 is loaded in the memory slot 17, the CPU 18 causes the information reading mechanism 25 to read the type and content of the recording medium 3 (ST201). For example, if the type is language learning information, the CPU 18 displays the text information of the radio English conversation as the content on the display surface 10a by the image output mechanism 26, and outputs the voice information via the speaker 11a by the voice output mechanism 27 ( ST202).
[0097]
Thereby, language learning is started (ST203).
[0098]
Next, for example, an operation when the pronunciation of the word “sip” displayed on the display surface 10a during language learning cannot be successfully performed will be described.
[0099]
At any time during language learning, the CPU 18 can cause the voice input mechanism 131 to determine whether to compare the learner's voice with the model voice (ST204). For example, if the heading which is the word “sip” displayed on the display surface 10 a is designated by the pointing device 12 or the like and the voice comparison selection key 9 b is pressed, the information is transmitted to the voice input mechanism 131 under the control of the CPU 18. It is determined that the learner's voice and the model voice are compared.
[0100]
Then, the CPU 18 causes the voice input mechanism 131 to determine, for example, whether the voice of the word “sip” of the learner has been input to the microphone 108a (ST205). If it is determined that there is no voice input, the process returns to ST204. When it is determined that there is an input of sound, the sound is converted into an electrical signal, and once recorded as sound information, for example, in the RAM 19 or the like.
[0101]
Next, the CPU 18 causes the voice comparison mechanism 132 to select the voice information of the learner recorded in the RAM 19 or the like and the voice information of the word “sip” from the language learning information read from the recording medium 3 (ST206). The voice information of the selected model is compared (ST207).
[0102]
For example, it is performed by comparing the voiceprint of the learner's voice and the voiceprint of the model voice, and comparing the positions of the strength and the waveform.
[0103]
Further, the CPU 18 passes the comparison result by the voice comparison mechanism 132 to the image output mechanism 26 as voice comparison information, for example, and the image display device 10 passes the image output mechanism 26 to the display surface 10a, for example, as shown in FIG. The result of comparing the voice and the model voice can be displayed (ST208).
[0104]
Here, for example, the voice pattern “sip” is displayed as a graph in the <sample> square frame 133 of the voice comparison (voice print) in FIG. 9, and the comparison is performed in the square frame 134 of the <comparison voice>. The voice learner's “sip” voiceprint is displayed as a graph and can be easily compared with the model voice.
[0105]
Further, as shown in FIG. 9, for example, as a <comment>, which sound is not produced as a result of comparison by the voice comparison mechanism 132 is displayed, and information read from the language learning information of the recording medium 3 or dictionary data 22 The corresponding information may be read from and the way of moving the mouth as a model may be displayed in the rectangular frame 135 at the bottom of the screen.
[0106]
Next, the CPU 18 can make the voice comparison mechanism 132 determine whether to continue the voice comparison (ST209). For example, if the comparison result is displayed on the display surface 10a and no input is received even after a predetermined time has elapsed, it is determined that the voice comparison is not performed, and the language learning is continued by returning to the original language learning screen. (ST210).
[0107]
Further, when all the language learning programs are completed or the language learning is stopped by the selection key 9b, the language learning is ended (ST211).
[0108]
Note that the target of the voice comparison is not limited to the word “sip” illustrated, but may be a sentence composed of a plurality of words.
[0109]
Further, if necessary, the learner's voice information and model voice information once recorded in the RAM 19 by the voice comparison mechanism 132 by selection by the selection key 9b is controlled by the information writing mechanism 29 under another control medium. 3 may be recorded.
[0110]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, the electronic device system 101 includes the recording medium 3 including the recording unit in which the language learning information including at least the heading corresponding to the language information used for language learning is recorded, and at least the recording medium 3. Is output based on the language learning information recorded on the interface unit 5 to which the detachable interface unit 5 is attached and the recording medium 3 attached thereto, and at least one of voice and image information necessary for predetermined language learning is output, and a heading is included in the image information. Since the electronic dictionary 102 can output language information corresponding to the heading from the data storage unit 21 when it is included, it is easy even if the heading is not input using the input key 9 one by one. Necessary language information can be obtained immediately by operation, and efficient language learning can be performed with one unit regardless of the place.
[0111]
Further, the electronic device system 101 incorporates a microphone 108a for converting speech inputted during language learning into an electrical signal in the electronic dictionary 102, and further, speech information by the electrical signal converted by the speech input mechanism 131 and predetermined language information. Alternatively, since the voice comparison mechanism 132 that compares the language learning information and outputs the result is provided, for example, the learner's voiceprint and the model voiceprint can be compared and displayed. The points to be corrected become clearer and the efficiency of language learning can be improved.
[0112]
Furthermore, since the electronic device system 101 has the information writing mechanism 29 and the recording medium 3 that can be newly recorded can be mounted in the memory slot 17, for example, the learner's voice information or model once recorded in the RAM 19 by the voice comparison mechanism 132, for example. Can be recorded on the recording medium 3 and can be heard again later, or can be heard by another electronic device in another location if the recording medium 3 can be mounted, thereby further improving the efficiency of language learning. .
[0113]
Next, an electronic device system according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. Also in the present embodiment, an electronic dictionary will be described as an example of an electronic device system as in the first embodiment. In addition, the same code | symbol shall be attached | subjected about the component same as the component shown by 1st Embodiment by the following description, and the description is abbreviate | omitted.
[0114]
FIG. 10 is a block diagram centering on the control unit of the electronic dictionary according to the third embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 11 is a flowchart of using the word book function of the electronic device system.
[0115]
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 10, the electronic device system 201 includes, for example, an electronic dictionary 202 and a recording medium 3 that can be attached to and detached from the electronic dictionary 202.
[0116]
The electronic dictionary 202 is configured to be folded up as shown in FIGS. 2 and 10, for example. The input / output unit 4 that inputs / outputs language information, language learning information, and the like, and the recording medium 3 are connected to the electronic dictionary 202. The interface unit 5 to be attached and detached, the control unit 206 that controls input / output and selection of information, and the power source unit 7 that supplies power to each unit of the electronic dictionary 2 are included.
[0117]
Further, as shown in FIG. 10, for example, the control unit 206 is a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 18 that performs calculation and control, and temporarily stores headlines, language information, language learning information, various data, software, and the like as necessary. A software storage unit that stores a RAM (Random Access Memory) 19, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 20, a data storage unit 221, and various types of software that record and control the electronic dictionary 202 as an electronic device more smoothly 224 is provided.
[0118]
Here, the language information corresponding to each of a plurality of headings is stored in the data storage unit 221 in advance as, for example, the dictionary data 22 such as English characters in the English-Japanese dictionary and the Japanese translation thereof, and for example, the progress status information of the language learning is terminated halfway. For example, words and their translations are stored as word book data 236 in the order of alphabets, etc., as progress status data 23 for each time.
[0119]
The software storage unit 224 includes an information reading mechanism 25, an image output mechanism 26, an audio output mechanism 27, a dictionary function mechanism 28, an information writing mechanism 29, a word book function mechanism 237, a language information creation mechanism 238, and the like.
[0120]
The image output mechanism 26 receives each input information input from the input key 9 under the control of the CPU 18, image information sent from the information reading mechanism 25, the dictionary function mechanism 28, the word book function mechanism 237, and the like to the image display device 10. For example, it is passed as character information.
[0121]
In addition, the information writing mechanism 29 reads, for example, linguistic information input to the electronic dictionary 202 by the input key 9 or the recording medium 3 or the like, under the control of the CPU 18, the dictionary data 22 in the data storage unit 21, the word book data 236, etc. In the recording medium 3 and the like.
[0122]
Further, the word book function mechanism 237 converts the words inputted into the electronic dictionary 202 by, for example, the input key 9 or the recording medium 3 under the control of the CPU 18 and their translations into alphabetical order or the like and converts them into word book data. As a result, the CPU 18 causes the information writing mechanism 29 to record the word book data as the word book data 236.
[0123]
At this time, the word book function mechanism 237 reads the corresponding language information recorded in the dictionary data 22 of the same data storage unit 221, for example, reads the translation of the word and uses the information as the word book data 236. It is also possible.
[0124]
Also, the word book function mechanism 237 can select a predetermined word and its translation from the word book data 236 under the control of the CPU 18 by information such as the input key 9 and the like, and can display the selected word on the display surface 10 a of the electronic dictionary 202. . At this time, the word book function mechanism 237 can hide the translation or the like by inputting the input key 9 or the like.
[0125]
Here, the word book function means, for example, a function of creating the word book data 236 or reading the created word book data 236 to display an appropriate word and its meaning on the display surface 10a or the like. To do.
[0126]
Furthermore, the language information creation mechanism 238 creates language information such as a word book separately from the word book data 236 based on the language information and the like input to the electronic dictionary 202 by the input key 9 under the control of the CPU 18 or the recording medium 3 or the like. Thus, customized language information and the like can be produced, and learning that matches the language ability of the learner becomes possible.
[0127]
Also in this case, the language information creation mechanism 238 can read and use the language information recorded in the dictionary data 22 of the data storage unit 221 under the control of the CPU 18 by input using the input key 9 or the like. Efficient linguistic information can be created.
[0128]
Next, the operation of the electronic device system 201, which is an electronic device configured as described above, will be described focusing on its dictionary function and language learning. Note that the operation of the electronic device system 201 of the third embodiment is similar to the operation of the first embodiment in the use of the dictionary function and language learning, so the word book function differs from the operation of the first embodiment. The following description focuses on use.
[0129]
First, when the CPU 18 determines that the recording medium 3 is loaded in the memory slot 17 by the information reading mechanism 25, the CPU 18 causes the information reading mechanism 25 to read the type and content of the recording medium 3. For example, if the type is language learning information, the CPU 18 causes the image output mechanism 26 to display the text information of the radio English conversation as the content on the display surface 10a, and the voice output mechanism 27 displays the voice information corresponding to the text information by the speaker 11a. Output via.
[0130]
Thereby, for example, language learning is started (ST301).
[0131]
Next, for example, when the Japanese translation of the word “sip” is not found during language learning, the dictionary function is used to examine its meaning, and the word “sip” is added to the word book data 236. The operation will be described.
[0132]
First, as shown in FIG. 11, the CPU 18 can cause the word book function mechanism 237 to determine whether to use the word book function during language learning (ST302). For example, if there is information input indicating that the word book function is used by the selection key 9b or the like, the word book function mechanism 237 determines that the word book function is used.
[0133]
In addition, the CPU 18 causes the word book function mechanism 237 to determine whether the use of the word book function is creation (change) of the word book data 236 or the like, or simply calling the word book data to learn words ( ST303). Also, for example, if there is input information for selecting creation (change) of the word book data 236 or the like using the selection key 9b or the like, it is determined that the word book data 236 or the like under the control of the CPU 18 is created (changed). The
[0134]
Further, when the word book function mechanism 237 determines that the word book data 236 or the like is to be created (changed), the CPU 18 causes the image output mechanism 26 to display the target on the display surface 10a, for example. Then, for example, when the learner designates the word “sip” from the text information of the language learning information displayed on the display surface 10a with the pointing device 12 or the like (ST304), the CPU 18 sends the information to the information reading mechanism 25, for example. The correct language information is read from the dictionary data 22.
[0135]
Here, when the CPU 18 selects the word “sip” and the translation to be recorded in, for example, the word book data 236 by the selection key 9b or the like (ST305), the CPU 18 newly records information on the word on the recording medium 3. Or let the word book function mechanism 237 judge (ST306).
[0136]
For example, when it is determined by the selection key 9b or the like that information related to the word is newly recorded in the recording medium 3 in the word book function mechanism 237, the CPU 18 passes the information to the language information creation mechanism 238, and the language information creation mechanism. The word “sip” and the translation are created as information of a new word book, for example, by 238.
[0137]
Then, the CPU 18 transmits the information of the new word book to the information writing mechanism 29 and records it on the recording medium 3 (ST307).
[0138]
Next, the CPU 18 causes the word book function mechanism 237 to determine whether to use the word book function (ST308). For example, if there is no information input for using the word book function by the selection key 9b or the like for a predetermined time, the word book function mechanism 237 may be determined not to use the word book function.
[0139]
If the word book function mechanism 237 determines that the word book function is not used, the CPU 18 returns to language learning (ST309), and further terminates the language learning with the selection key 9b or terminates all language learning programs. Language learning ends (ST310).
[0140]
If it is determined in ST303 that the word book function mechanism 237 simply calls the word book data and learns the word, the CPU 18 causes the image output mechanism 26 to display the display method on the display surface 10a, for example. (ST311). If the learner selects, for example, the shuffle function so that the words are random rather than in alphabetical order, and selects not to display the translation of the words, the information is passed to the information reading mechanism 25 under the control of the CPU 18. The corresponding information is read from the word book data 236 by the information reading mechanism 25.
[0141]
Then, the CPU 18 passes the information read from the information reading mechanism 25 to the image output mechanism 26, for example, and the words of the word book data 236 are randomly displayed on the display surface 10a of the electronic dictionary 202 without translation (ST312). ).
[0142]
Next, the CPU 18 causes the word book function mechanism 237 to determine whether or not to complete word learning using the word book data (ST313). For example, if the CPU 18 determines that the word book function mechanism 237 has input that the word learning is to be ended by the selection key 9b or the like, the word learning is ended. In ST312, it is displayed on the display surface 10a, and if there is no input even after a predetermined time has elapsed, it may be determined that the word learning is to be ended.
[0143]
On the other hand, when the word book function mechanism 237 determines that the word learning is not finished in ST313, the CPU 18 returns to ST311.
[0144]
Further, when it is determined by the word book function mechanism 237 that the word learning is to be ended in ST313, the CPU 18 returns to before ST308 and causes the word book function mechanism 237 to determine whether to use the word book function continuously (ST308). . The following operations are the same as those for creating (changing) the word book data 236 and the like, and therefore will be omitted.
[0145]
Note that even if the dictionary function is being used instead of language learning, the word book function can be used in the same manner as during language learning.
[0146]
In addition, in ST304 under the control of the CPU 18, the recording medium 3 collecting words necessary for taking 730 points by TOEIC, for example, is installed in the memory slot 17 instead of the text information of the language learning information. The information is read by the information reading mechanism 25 and the word book function mechanism 237 determines whether or not the corresponding word and translation are in the word book data 236. If it is determined that there is no word, it is necessary for taking 730 points in the TOEIC. The word and translation may be recorded in the word book data 236.
[0147]
In this case, the CPU 18 causes the information writing mechanism 29 to record only the words necessary for taking 730 points in the TOEIC in the word book data 236 and the like, and the translation and the like are read from the dictionary data 22 by the information reading mechanism 25. Then, it may be output to the display surface 10a or the like. Thereby, more efficient language learning becomes possible.
[0148]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, the electronic device system 201 includes at least the recording medium 3 including the recording unit in which the language learning information including the heading corresponding to the language information used for language learning is recorded, and at least the recording medium 3. Is output based on the language learning information recorded in the interface unit 5 to which the detachable interface unit 5 is attached and the language learning information attached thereto, and at least one of voice information and image information necessary for language learning is output, and is found in the image information. The electronic dictionary 202 can output language information corresponding to the heading from the data storage unit 221 when the heading is included, so that it is easy to input the heading without using the input key 9 one by one. The necessary language information can be obtained immediately by simple operation, and efficient language learning can be performed with one unit regardless of the place.
[0149]
The electronic device system 201 can edit a plurality of language information stored in the data storage unit 221 of the electronic dictionary 202 based on language learning information or language information recorded in the recording medium 3. New words can be recorded in the word book data 236, and language information such as word translations can be read from the already stored dictionary data 22 and displayed, thereby enabling more efficient language learning. It becomes.
[0150]
Further, the electronic device system 201 includes a plurality of interface units 5 and newly creates language information or language learning information based on, for example, language information stored in the data storage unit 221 or language learning information recorded in the recording medium 3. A new language information or language learning information created by the language information creation mechanism 238 or the like can be recorded on the recording medium 3 attached to the interface unit 5 or the like. Therefore, language information and language learning information that matches the learner's academic ability can be created, and the created language information and the like can be recorded on the recording medium 3, so that language learning can be performed with other electronic devices. More efficient language learning is possible regardless of location and time.
[0151]
The present invention is not limited to any of the above-described embodiments, and can be implemented with appropriate modifications within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention.
[0152]
For example, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the input key 9 or the pointing device 12 is used to input the electronic dictionary 102 is not limited to this. For example, the learner's voice is input using the built-in microphone 108a. The information may be read by the information reading mechanism 25 or the like, and the input key 9 or the pointing device 12 may be used instead. Thereby, troublesome key operations are eliminated, and language learning and the like can be performed more efficiently.
[0153]
Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the text information of the language learning information is read from the recording medium 3 into the electronic dictionary 2 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the text information printed on paper or the like is recorded on the recording medium. 3 or a scanner provided in the electronic dictionary 2 may be directly read. As a result, for example, a book that is not recorded on a recording medium can be converted into electronic information, and it is possible to increase linguistic information, language learning information, etc. freely, or to use electronic language information, language learning information, etc. Become.
[0154]
The learner may download the language learning information from the Internet to another electronic device such as a hard disk of a personal computer, record it on the recording medium 3, and use it in the electronic dictionary 2. As a result, language learning information can be obtained more widely, and the efficiency of language learning can be further improved.
[0155]
Further, for example, when the word “Mathematical” is searched using the English-Japanese dictionary of the dictionary data 22 of the electronic dictionary 2, the word, its Japanese translation, usage example, etc. are displayed on the display surface 10 a of the image display device 10 as shown in FIG. However, at this time, if the recording medium 3 on which a word of a level required for a predetermined English test is recorded is installed in the memory slot 17 of the electronic dictionary 2, the word recorded on the recording medium 3 is When retrieved, for example, as shown in FIG. 13, an underline 40 is inserted and displayed as a mark for the word. Thereby, it is possible to easily know that the searched word is a word at a level required for a predetermined English test, and it is possible to further improve the efficiency of language learning.
[0156]
Further, as shown in FIG. 13, the phrase used in the example of the word displayed on the display surface 10 a, in this case, the phrase “with with” is also recorded in the recording medium 3, so that this phrase is also underlined. It will be. Further, the displayed mark is not limited to the underline. For example, it is possible to insert a symbol or mark or change the display color of the word itself.
[0157]
The words recorded in the recording medium 3 are recorded as a set of words such as important words, essential words, and essential idioms according to the level used in the test, and are displayed according to the level when displayed. The colors may be classified and displayed, for example, by changing the colors. Thus, it is possible to identify at what level the displayed word is classified, and to improve the efficiency of language learning.
[0158]
Further, for example, the electronic device system 101 includes a microphone 108a, an input key 9, and the like, so a native speaker in an English classroom carries it on a train or the like, inputs words, and speaks into the microphone 108a. It is also possible to create content for learning, and it is possible to record the created content on the recording medium 3. As a result, language learning content can be created very easily regardless of the location, and a wider variety of language learning is possible.
[0159]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the present invention enables more efficient language learning while having an electronic dictionary function.
