Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a character display electronic device, and more particularly to a character display electronic device having a stroke order display function.

Conventionally, some electronic character display devices, such as kanji learning machines, are equipped with a function to display stroke order, but when the stroke order key is pressed, the stroke order display changes to a predetermined value according to a built-in program. However, the speed could not be freely adjusted to suit the difficulty of the kanji or the level of the user.

The present invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a character display electronic device configured so that the stroke order can be displayed at a desired speed for each stroke according to the user's selection. It is said that

In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, if the stroke order key is pressed within a certain period of time, the stroke order is displayed in each stroke, and if the key is pressed for more than a certain period of time, the stroke order is displayed at a specified speed until the last stroke. We adopted a structure that can automatically display strokes in sequential order.

Hereinafter, details of the present invention will be explained in conjunction with embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 and the following illustrate one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a control circuit.

In the figure, symbol K1 indicates a group of kana input keys,
K2 indicates stroke order keys, each of which is connected to the central processing unit CPU. Reference numeral R denotes a fixed storage device consisting of a read-only memory (ROM), in which kanji information, stroke count information, stroke order information, etc. are stored. What is indicated by the symbol D is a display device.

The CPU processes information input using the kana input key K1, retrieves kanji information, stroke count information, stroke order information, etc. stored in the ROM, and sends display information to the display device D. When the stroke order key K2 is pressed, a high level binary code signal is sent to the CPU whenever the stroke order key K2 is pressed. Upon receiving this high-level signal, the CPU determines whether to display the screen one by one depending on the pressing time or to display the screen automatically at predetermined time intervals, processes the information from the ROM section R, and processes the information from the ROM section R. Send to display D.

Next, the actual control operation will be explained using the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, a high level signal is sent to the CPU when the stroke order key K2 is pressed, and a processing routine is started. Then, in step H1, the stroke number KS is set to an initial value of 1, and the process proceeds to step H2. In step H2, the number of strokes of the kanji to be displayed is set to END. Next, the process proceeds to step H3, where a timer in the CPU is started, and in step H4, signals sent from this timer at regular intervals are counted. Then, in step H5, it is determined whether the signal from the stroke order key K2 is at a low level, that is, whether or not the pressing of the stroke order key K2 has ended.
If the level is low, the display process is performed one stroke at a step below H10, and if the level is high, the process proceeds to step H6. Step H
In step 6, the value of the timer counter counted in step H4 is checked to determine whether, for example, 0.5 seconds have elapsed. If it is less than 0.5 seconds, the process returns to step H4 and the stroke order key K2 is turned off.
Loop until 0.5 seconds have passed.

On the other hand, if more than 0.5 seconds have passed, step H
Proceed to step 7 and display the stroke number. Subsequently, in step H8, the stroke number is incremented by 1 and set to the next stroke number. Then, proceed to step H9,
It is determined whether the number of strokes set in step H8 exceeds the number of strokes of the kanji character, and if it does, this routine is terminated and the process returns to the original state.

If it does not exceed the limit, return to step H7,
Display is automatically performed in sequence according to the order of strokes.

On the other hand, when proceeding to step H10, only one stroke is displayed corresponding to that stroke number, the stroke number is +1 at step H11, and step H12 is performed.
Proceed to. In step H12, it is determined whether or not the final number of strokes of the kanji character has been reached, and if it is the final number of strokes, this routine is ended and the process returns to the original state.

If the final number of strokes has not been reached, the process advances to step H13 and waits for the next stroke order key K2 to be pressed. When key K2 is pressed, the process returns to step H3, and steps H3 to H5 to H10 to H13 to H3 are pressed.
Repeat steps.

In this way, if the stroke order key K2 is pressed for 0.5 seconds or less, one stroke is displayed each time the key is pressed, and the strokes are automatically displayed at predetermined intervals until the last number of strokes is pressed for 0.5 seconds or more. In this way, you can view only the first number of strokes one by one and view the rest automatically by pressing a key once.

As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, it is possible to freely display the stroke order by dividing it into strokes based on the pressing time of the stroke order key, or to display the stroke order automatically in sequence at predetermined time intervals. This provides an excellent effect in that the stroke order can be displayed according to the difficulty level of the kanji and the level of the user.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. An electronic device that displays the stroke order of characters by pressing a stroke order key, comprising means for counting the press time of the stroke order key, and judgment means for determining whether the counted press time is longer than a predetermined time. If the determining means determines that the time is shorter than the predetermined time, the stroke order is displayed one stroke at a time each time the stroke order key is pressed, and if it is determined that the time is longer, the final stroke order is displayed in the stroke order by pressing the stroke order key once. A character display electronic device characterized in that it is configured to automatically display even images.
