Learning kanji is something that Japanese people cannot avoid, and it would be great if they could learn it efficiently, but unfortunately, most of the learning for elementary school students is through textbooks and books. Since it is a printed matter, it is easy to get bored and inefficient. Also, idioms with contradictory meanings (hereinafter abbreviated as opposite words) that are particularly important among kanji, such as agree←→against, winner←→loser, and compound words with similar meanings (hereinafter abbreviated as synonyms), such as villain← →Mathematics, arithmetic←→Although the number of subjects such as mathematics increases from the upper grades of elementary school onwards, there are very few people who know them correctly.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an electronic kanji display device that allows users to enjoy and learn the opposites and synonyms of idioms of kanji through simple operations.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Figure 1 shows the external appearance of an example of the kanji display electronic device of the present invention, and the keyboard KB of this kanji display electronic device.
On the top are antonym key K4, synonym key K3, compound word key K2, kana key group K1, and display LG such as liquid crystal.
etc. will be arranged. The liquid crystal display LG is composed of a dot matrix of 16 vertically and 53 horizontally, and one kanji character is displayed in 16×
It can be displayed with 20 dots, and a total of 2 kanji characters can be displayed, and one katakana character can be displayed with 8 x 8 dots, making it possible to display a total of 6 characters. In addition, if the displayed phrase has an opposite word, an opposite word identification mark
There is HT and synonym identification mark DG.

The phrase key K2 is an exchange key for displaying the kana characters input and displayed by the input key group K1 in kanji characters, and the opposite word key K4 and synonym key K3 are used to display the idioms displayed in kanji characters by the phrase key K2. If pressed while the word identification mark HT or synonym identification mark DG is displayed, the opposite word or synonym will be displayed in kanji.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the circuit configuration of the kanji display electronic device of the present invention, in which data is input to the central processing unit GPU in accordance with the depression of keys K1 to K4. This central processing unit CPU is a well-known
Based on the data input from keys K1 to K4 using the ROM method, the character information stored in the fixed storage device M1 and the corresponding kanji pattern are called out from the fixed storage device M2, and various signal processing is performed to display the display signal. The kana or kanji characters are then converted to the display driver DR and displayed on the display LC.

Next, to explain the configuration of the central processing unit CPU, this central processing unit has a 1-chip CPU.
A control unit CONT, a read-on memory (ROM) M3, a random access memory (RAM) M4, etc. are built into the LSII, and the entire system is controlled by a known ROM control method based on input data.

Next, the contents of the fixed storage device M1 will be explained using FIG. 3. In the figure, address section M1
The katakana pronunciation corresponding to each address of 1 is stored in the idiom storage unit M12, and if there is an antonym, the address is stored in the antonym address storage unit M13, and if there is a synonym, the address is stored in the synonym address storage unit M14. That address will be stored. Kanji code storage section M15
The kanji code for displaying idioms in kanji is stored in a 7-digit, one-character code. In this embodiment, the fixed storage device M1 is provided with addresses "0000" to "1023" and stores a total of 1024 phrases, their corresponding Kanji codes, their antonyms, and synonym addresses.

Next, the contents of the fixed storage device M2 will be explained using FIG. 4. In the same figure, address M2
1 corresponds to the kanji code storage section M15 in Figure 3, and one kanji character is stored in the kanji pattern storage section M22.
There are 320 bits to display in 16 x 20 dots,
"1" indicates that the light is on, and "0" indicates that it is not lit, thereby displaying one kanji character.

In this embodiment, the fixed storage device M2 is from "0000" to
It can store up to address ``2041'' and memorize a total of 2042 kanji patterns. Next, the operation of the kanji display electronic device of the present invention constructed as described above will be explained. First, we will explain the case of knowing the kanji ``aisou'' from ``iso''. Press Kana key group K1 and press “A”
Display "i" and "so" on the liquid crystal display LC, and then press the idiom key K2, the central processing unit CPU will
"Iso" is the idiom storage part M1 of the fixed storage device M1
It is determined whether or not it is stored in 2. This is done, for example, by starting from the address "0000" and advancing the addresses one by one to see if the same phrase as the input "iso" is stored. In this case, since "iso" is stored at address "0000", a match signal is obtained at address "0000", and the address is stored in the opposite word address storage section M13 and synonym address storage section M14 of this address "0000". It is determined whether there is any information, and since there is no information, the opposite word identification mark HT and synonym identification mark DG on the display LC are not lit. Also, call up the codes "1001, 1015" in the kanji code storage section M15, call up the pattern information in the kanji pattern storage section M22 for the same addresses "1001" and "1015" in the fixed storage device M2, and write "Aisho".
Display the kanji. Next, the operation for displaying the opposite word will be explained. Press the Kana key group K1 to display "Keishiki" on the LCD display LC, and then press the Idiom key K2. As with "Iso", the central processing unit CPU starts from address "0000" and displays "Keishiki". 0420'' address matches ``Keishiki'', the code ``0585'' in the opposite word address storage section M13 is determined, and this ``0585'' is temporarily stored in the random access memory M4. In addition, it generates a lighting signal for the opposite word identification mark HT, and also reads a kanji pattern based on the kanji code "2013, 1056" from the fixed storage device M2 and displays the kanji pattern and opposite word identification on the liquid crystal display LC. The mark HT "▼" is displayed to let you know that the opposite word of "form" is accommodated. When the opposite word key K4 is pressed after seeing this opposite word identification mark HT illuminated, the central processing unit CPU calls "0585" in the random access memory M4, and the kanji code at address "0585" in the fixed storage device M1. ``1211, 1638'' is called and the opposite kanji pattern ``content'' based on the kanji pattern information in the fixed storage device M2 is displayed.
Also, the mark HT continues to be displayed. At this time, by storing the code "0420" in the opposite word address storage section M13 of the fixed storage device M1 by erasing "0585" from the random access memory M4, and by repeatedly pressing the opposite word key K4, It is possible to learn by displaying "format" and "content" alternately as many times as you like.

Next, the operation for displaying synonyms will be explained. For example, press "Akunin" from the Kanaky group K1 to display "Akunin" on the display LC,
Press the phrase key K2 and use the code "1023" in the synonym address storage section M14 at address "0010" in the fixed storage device M1 to display the synonym identification display mark DG.
It generates a lighting signal of "." and stores "1023" in the random access memory M4. Furthermore, the kanji pattern information corresponding to the kanji code ``1715, 1613'' of ``Akunin'' is obtained from the fixed storage device M2, and the synonym identification mark DG for ``villain'' is displayed.
When you see this mark and press the synonym key K3,
Kanji pattern information corresponding to the kanji code "1715, 2003" corresponding to "1023" in the random access memory M4 is obtained and displayed as "bad guy". The synonym identification mark DG also continues to be displayed. At this time, the address "1023" of the fixed storage device M1 and "0010" of the synonym address storage section M14 are stored in the random access memory M4, and "1023" of the synonym address storage section M14 of "Akunin" is erased and stored. . As a result, similar to pressing the opposite word key 4, the synonym key K
If you press 3 continuously, you can learn "bad person" and "bad guy" in succession.

As mentioned above, when you input kana characters and display the kanji of the compound word, the synonym and antonym identification marks are displayed, so if you press the synonym key or antonym key at this time, the first display will be displayed. You can easily learn the synonyms and antonyms of certain idioms. Also, if you press the synonym key and the opposite word key repeatedly, the opposite word key can be displayed repeatedly, which is convenient.

In this embodiment, a synonym key and an antonym key are provided, but similar operations can be performed even if they are combined into one key.

Further, by providing a reading key, the reading of the displayed kanji can be displayed by calling up the data in the idiom storage section M12 of the fixed storage device, which further enhances the learning effect.
