Description

  The present invention relates to an electronic dictionary device for searching explanatory information of an arbitrary word, idiom and idiomatic phrase, and a control program thereof.

  Generally, the electronic dictionary device searches for and displays a word that matches the input character string by inputting the spelling of the word to be checked.

  For example, in the patent document, an incremental search mode (an immediate search mode in which a headword whose word matches with the character string input so far is searched every time the spelling of the word (search word) to be searched is entered from the beginning ) Displays the cursor C at the first headword that matches the input character string (match headword) among the headwords in a series of dictionaries arranged in alphabetical order. There has been proposed an electronic dictionary device in which words are extracted in a displayable range and listed.

  On the other hand, when you open a page that contains the word you want to look up in a paper dictionary, you can also see a series of words that appear before and after that word, so you can find interesting and related words on the spot. You can read and learn at.

  However, in the conventional electronic dictionary device, when the headword to be examined is reached, the translation, idiom, idiom, etc. of the word can be seen, but other headwords appearing before and after the headword And their translations, idioms, idioms, etc. can not be viewed.

  Therefore, it is possible to easily learn by reading on-the-spot words and related words that are interesting to see at a glance, even a series of words that appear before and after the headword you want to look up like the paper dictionary Can not.

  The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and an electronic dictionary device capable of listing headwords specified in dictionary search, their parallel translation words, and heading words and parallel translation words before and after that. The purpose is to provide the control program.

An electronic dictionary device for displaying together a headword shown in a first language and a bilingual word shown in a second language having the same meaning as the headword,
Storage means for storing a plurality of item data in which headwords and bilingual words corresponding to each other are associated;
Display means for displaying a plurality of item data in ascending and descending order; and
An extraction means for extracting item data including a specified character in a headword or a parallel translation from a plurality of item data using a specified character specified by the user as a search key;
Display control means for causing the display means to display the item data extracted by the extraction means together with the item data before and after the item data;
An electronic dictionary device comprising:

  The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and it is possible to list the headwords specified in the dictionary search, the parallel translation words, and the headwords and the parallel translation words before and after that. It is possible to provide an electronic dictionary device and its control program, which aim to provide the device and its control program.

This electronic dictionary device detects a headword (here, “abbreviated”) entered by the user using a keyboard by an incremental search function. The cursor C moves to the headword of the spelling input by the user through the keyboard, and the target headword is highlighted on the display unit.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of an electronic circuit of the electronic dictionary device 1.

  The electronic dictionary device 1 reads a program stored in various recording media and is configured by a computer whose operation is controlled by the read program, and a CPU (central processing unit) 10 is provided in the electronic circuit. Be

  Extraction unit for extracting item data whose designated word is included in a headword or a parallel word, using designated characters designated by the user as a search key from a plurality of item data with reference to a dictionary database described later Act as. Specifically, the CPU 10 executes a device control program 21 stored in advance in the storage device 22 or a control program read from the external storage medium 23 such as a ROM card into the storage unit 22 via a storage medium reading unit or the like. Accordingly, the operation of each part of the circuit is controlled using the RAM 25 as a working memory.

  The device control program 21 stored in the storage device 22 is activated in response to an input signal corresponding to a user operation from the key input unit 40 and the display unit 35.

  As described above, the storage unit 22, the recording medium reading unit, the RAM 25, the key input unit 40, and the display unit 35 are connected to the CPU 10.

  The storage device 22 stores, as a control program, a system program that controls the entire operation of the electronic dictionary device 1 and the like. Further, as the control program 21, search word input processing, headword search processing corresponding to the search word, list display processing of search headwords, various terms such as translated words, meaning contents, examples, commentary, etc. corresponding to the selected headword A dictionary search program for controlling the overall search / display processing based on the dictionary database 22 in the storage device 22 such as processing for reading and displaying explanatory information is stored.

  The dictionary database 22 stores a plurality of item data in which headwords and bilingual words corresponding to each other are associated, and Japanese bilingual words corresponding to English headwords arranged in alphabetical order are registered [English-Japanese Dictionary]. By searching the dictionary database 22 in Japanese, all files including the searched Japanese can be detected [Japanese-English Dictionary].

  In the RAM 25, an input data memory, a main screen data memory, and the like are secured. The input data memory sequentially stores individual input data corresponding to user operations in the key input unit 40 and the display unit 35. In the main screen data memory, display data to be displayed on the main display unit 35 is expanded into a bitmap pattern and stored.

  The display control unit 30 causes the display unit 35 to display item data controlled by the CPU 10 and extracted by the CPU 10 together with item data before and after the item data.

  The display unit 35 is formed of, for example, a touch panel, and displays the entry word indicated in the first language and the bilingual term indicated in the second language having the same meaning as the entry word. The display unit 35 displays a plurality of item data in ascending / descending order.

  The electronic dictionary device 1 configured in this way is for the CPU 10 to execute the device control program 21 (search term input process, entry word search process, entry word list display process, explanation information display process of selected entry word, etc. The operation of each part of the circuit is controlled in accordance with the instruction described in the program (including the program), and the functions described in the following operation description are realized by the software and the hardware operating in cooperation.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a dictionary search process of the embodiment by the electronic dictionary device.
5 to 8 are diagrams showing display operations involved in the dictionary search process of the embodiment of the electronic dictionary device.

  In the search term input screen, when the spelling of the search term to be searched by the user is input one by one (step S2), the cursor C reaches the target entry word by the forward matching search function.

  For example, when key input is sequentially performed as "t" "e" "n" "t", as shown in FIGS. 5 to 8, the cursor C is "T" (FIG. 5) → "tea" (FIG. 6) → The movement is repeated four times such as “ten” (FIG. 7) → “tent” (FIG. 8), and finally, “tent” on the dictionary screen is reached, and this entry word is highlighted (step S4).

  Then, among the series of headwords recorded in the dictionary database, displayable headwords and parallel translation words before and after the headword “tent” searched for in front of the center are also displayed (step S5).

  On the other hand, when using as a "Japanese-English dictionary", all terms including the input character string and the word are input by inputting the character string of the search word (here "do your best") in the search space D of the folder A Can be extracted and displayed in a list.
