  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an information display control device called an electronic dictionary in which several types of electronic dictionary databases (hereinafter referred to as “DB”) such as an English-Japanese dictionary, a Japanese-English dictionary, and a national language dictionary are incorporated is known. This electronic dictionary DB is systematically so that dictionary information obtained by collecting information in which headwords are associated with explanatory information that explains the headwords can be searched using a computer. It is configured.

  For example, in an electronic dictionary incorporating an English-Japanese dictionary DB, when a user inputs a spelling of a desired English word, a list of English words (word words) starting from the input spelling is displayed, and the desired English word is selected from the English words. By selecting the English word, the explanation information of the selected English word can be displayed.

  Such electronic dictionaries are used in various learning situations. For example, a student who conducted an English test looks up an important English word in the wrong problem in an electronic dictionary and refers to the explanation information of the grammar that matches the problem from the explanation information of the English word. Users are learning English.

The question number selection operation refers to selecting a problem number with the cursor key 5b from the list of question numbers displayed based on the question data 408, and repeatedly pressing the enter key 5a to obtain a desired problem number. This is a series of operations after selection, until a confirmation instruction is given by pressing the enter key 5a.

  The answer is a user's answer set by the user's answer operation. The answer operation is to select a question number with the up and down keys of the cursor key 5b, select an answer with the left and right keys of the cursor key 5b from the choices in question corresponding to the selected question number, and then press the enter key 5a. Is a series of operations until a confirmation instruction is issued by pressing.

  Whether or not the answer is correct is correct or not, and “O” or “X” is set in the scoring process. Specifically, when the answer set by the answer operation and the correct answer stored in the question data 408 match, “◯” is set, and when they do not match, “X” is set.

  FIG. 5B is an example of the data configuration of the scoring result data 412. According to the figure, records in which question numbers, answers, and correct / incorrect are associated are stored in an accumulated manner. For example, the question number “Q1” is associated with the answer “in” and the correctness “◯”. This indicates that in the problem corresponding to the problem number “Q1”, “in” answered by the user is correct.

  The problem number is determined to be determined by the problem number selection operation. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the CPU 10 may select and determine the problem number randomly from the question data 408. A problem number may be determined by reading out problem numbers of a predetermined number of questions sequentially from the question data 408.

  The test history 414 is a data table for storing history headwords, history meaning numbers, and history example numbers in association with each other. Each of the history headword, history meaning number, and history example number is a reference headword, meaning number, and example number stored in the question data 408. The reference data corresponding to the problem number for which the correctness of the scoring result data 412 is determined to be “x” by the CPU 10 is additionally stored in the test history 414 as the latest record.

  FIG. 5C is a diagram illustrating an example of a data configuration of the test history 414. According to the figure, a record in which a history word meaning number and a history example number are associated with a history headword is stored cumulatively. For example, a history word meaning number “10” and a history example number “15” are associated with the history headword “by” and stored at the top of the test history 414. As shown in the figure, the records stored in the test history 414 are in the new order, and the additionally stored record is always the first record.

  The learning program 416 is a program for realizing the learning process according to the first embodiment, and includes a questioning program 418, a scoring program 420, and a review program 422 as subroutines. The learning process is started when the CPU 10 reads the learning program 416 from the flash ROM 40 and develops it in the RAM 50.

  The RAM 50 includes a memory area that temporarily stores various programs executed by the CPU 10, data related to the execution of these programs, and the like.

  According to FIG. 2, the RAM 50 stores a selection question number 502, a selection history headword 504, and a selection history semantic number 506.

  The selected question number 502 is a question number selected by the user's question selection operation. The question selection operation is an operation for selecting the question number corresponding to the question displayed after the answer operation with the cursor key 5b.

  The selection history headword 504 is a history headword selected by the test history selection operation. The test history selection operation is an operation until the history headword and the history meaning number displayed on the test history screen W11 are selected by moving the highlight display R5 with the cursor key 5b and pressing the enter key 5a. .

  The selection history meaning number 506 is a history meaning number selected by the test history selection operation.

  The communication device 60 is, for example, a functional unit for connecting to the Internet network N and performing data communication, and includes a modem, a LAN interface, and the like. The communication device 60 corresponds to the connector 7 shown in FIG.

  Next, specific operations of the electronic dictionary 1 will be described in detail with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. The question data 408 and the explanation data 410 will be described below assuming that they have already been downloaded from the server SV and stored in the flash ROM 40.

  First, when the CPU 10 detects that the problem key 5g has been pressed by the user, the CPU 10 reads the learning program 416 from the flash ROM 40 and develops it in the RAM 50, thereby starting the learning process.

FIG. 6A is a general flow of the learning process.
When learning processing is started, the CPU 10 performs processing in the order of questioning processing (step S1), scoring processing (step S3), and review processing (step S5), and then ends the learning processing.

  The questioning process is started when the CPU 10 reads the questioning program 418 from the flash ROM 40 and develops it in the RAM 50. FIG. 6B is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the question processing.

  When the questioning process is started, the CPU 10 reads out the problem numbers from the question data 408 and displays the list on the display unit 30 (step S100), and waits until a user's problem number selection operation is detected (step S102). When a problem number selection operation is detected (step S102: Yes), the problem number selected by the operation is stored in the scoring result data 412 (step S104).

  Then, the problem corresponding to the selected problem number is read from the question data 408 and displayed on the display unit 30 (step S106). The CPU 10 waits until the answer operation is detected (step S108). When the answer operation is detected (step S108: Yes), the answer selected by the operation is associated with the problem number stored in the scoring result data 412. (Step S110), and the questioning process is terminated.

  The scoring process is started when the CPU 10 reads the scoring program 420 from the flash ROM 40 and develops it in the RAM 50. FIG. 6C is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the scoring process.

  When the scoring process is started, the CPU 10 reads the question number and answer from the scoring result data 412 (step S300), and acquires the correct answer corresponding to the question number from the question data 408 (step S302). Then, it is determined whether or not the read answer is correct (step S304).

  If the read answer and the correct answer match, the CPU 10 determines that the answer is correct (step S304: Yes), and determines whether the record of the scoring result data 412 in which the read problem number and answer are stored is “◯”. "(Step S306). If the read answer and the correct answer do not match, it is determined that the answer is incorrect (step S304: No), and the correct / incorrect is set to “x” (step S308). Then, the CPU 10 ends the scoring process.

  The review process is started when the CPU 10 reads the review program 422 from the flash ROM 40 and develops it in the RAM 50. 7 to 8 are flowcharts for explaining the operation of the review process.

  When the review process is started, the CPU 10 reads one record from the scoring result data 412 (step S500), and determines whether or not the record is correct (step S502). When it is determined that the correctness is “◯” (step S502: Yes), the reference headword and the reference meaning number corresponding to the problem number of the read record are acquired from the question data 408 (step S504).

  And it is discriminate | determined whether the record where the acquired reference headword and the reference meaning number were memorize | stored exists in the test history 414 (step S506). If it is determined that it is in the test history 414 (step S506: Yes), the record is deleted from the test history 414 (step S508).

  If it is determined in step S502 that the correctness is not “◯” (step S502: No), the CPU 10 acquires reference data corresponding to the problem number of the read record (step S510). Then, the acquired reference data is additionally stored as a new record in the test history 414 (step S512).

  After determining whether there is no record in the test history 414 in which the reference headword and the reference meaning number are stored in step S506 after the processing in steps S508 and S512 (step S506: No), from the scoring result data 412 It is determined whether or not all records have been read (step S514).

  If it is determined that all have not been read (step S514: No), the next one record is read from the scoring result data 412 (step S516), and the process proceeds to step S502.

  Through the processing in steps S500 to S514, the stored content of the test history 414 is updated based on the scoring result data 412 that is the test result of the user. If the user makes a mistake in the problem, the important English word (reference headword) in question and the meaning number and example sentence number of the usage in the problem of the English word are additionally stored in the test history 414. Further, when the user correctly answers the problem, if the important English word in the problem and the meaning number of the usage in the problem of the English word are already stored in the test history 414, the corresponding record is deleted. . Therefore, the test history 414 stores important English words (reference headwords), meaning meaning numbers, and example sentence numbers of problems that the user has never answered correctly in past tests.

  If it is determined in step S514 that all records have been read (step S514: Yes), the CPU 10 causes the display unit 30 to display correct / incorrect based on the scoring result data 412 (step S518). Specifically, the correctness / incorrectness corresponding to the problem number stored in the scoring result data 412 is attached to the problem number and displayed on the display unit 30.

  Then, the CPU 10 determines whether or not the user's problem selection operation has been detected (step S520). If the user has detected the operation (step S520: Yes), the problem number selected by the operation is selected as the selected problem number. The data is stored in the RAM 50 as 502. Next, it is determined whether or not the explanation key 5h has been pressed (step S522). If it is determined that the description key 5h has not been pressed (step S522: No), the CPU 10 shifts the processing to step S532.

  If it is determined that the button has been pressed (step S522: Yes), the comment number corresponding to the selected question number 502 is acquired from the question data 408 (step S524), and the comment corresponding to the comment number is read from the comment data 410. The window is displayed on the display unit 30 (for example, the explanation window W5 in FIG. 9C) (step S526).

  Then, the process waits until the return key 5d is pressed by the user (step S528). When detecting that the return key 5d has been pressed (step S528: Yes), the CPU 10 closes the window displayed in step S526 (step S530), and determines whether or not the enter key 5a has been pressed (step S532). ).

  If it is determined that the enter key 5a has not been pressed (step S532: No), the process proceeds to step S546. If it is determined that the enter key 5a has been pressed (step S532: Yes), the CPU 10 acquires reference data corresponding to the selected question number 502 from the question data 408 (step S534).

  CPU10 reads the explanatory information corresponding to the reference headword of the acquired reference data from the English-Japanese dictionary data 404, and displays it on the display part 30 (step S536). Then, the explanation information is scrolled until the display position of the explanation information corresponding to the reference meaning number of the acquired reference data reaches the head portion of the display unit 30, and the explanation information corresponding to the reference meaning number is specially displayed by the underline UL1. (Step S538).

  Next, the English-Japanese dictionary data 404 is acquired as an example number corresponding to the reference headword and the reference meaning number of the acquired reference data (step S540), and the example corresponding to the example number is read from the example data 406 and displayed. Is displayed (for example, the example window W7 in FIG. 10C) (step S542).

  Then, among the examples displayed in the window, an example corresponding to the reference example number of the acquired reference data is specially displayed by the underline UL3 (step S544).

  In steps S536 to S542, the speed until the explanation window is scrolled to display the explanation window W7 is, for example, a speed such that the explanation window W7 is displayed after scrolling at a speed of 10 lines per second. The processing speed between each step may be set as appropriate, for example, by switching the display of the explanatory information in step S536 to the special display in the example in step S542.

  Further, the example of displaying the window by the series of processing of steps S536 to S542 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the CPU 10 detects the pressing of the example key 5k, the process of steps S540 to S544 is performed. An example window may be displayed by executing the process. Thereby, the user can display an example at a desired timing.

  The CPU 10 determines whether or not the English / Japanese key 5e has been pressed by the user (step S546). If it is determined that the user has pressed the key (step S546: Yes), the explanation information of the reference headword corresponding to the selected question number 502 is determined. Is read from the English-Japanese dictionary data 404 and displayed on the display unit 30 (step S570), and the electronic dictionary 1 is switched to a known search process in the English-Japanese dictionary and operated.

  When it is determined that the English / Japanese key 5e has not been pressed (step S546: No), the CPU 10 determines whether or not the test history key 5m has been pressed (step S548). When it is determined that the test history key 5m has not been pressed (step S548: No), the process proceeds to step S564.

  If it is determined that the test history key 5m has been pressed (step S548: Yes), the history headword and the history meaning number are read from the test history 414 and displayed as a history list LST on the display unit 30 (step S550). . And it is discriminate | determined whether test history selection operation by the user was detected (step S552), and when not detecting (step S552: No), it transfers to the process of step S564.

  When the test history selection operation is detected (step S552: Yes), the CPU 10 stores the history entry selected by the operation in the RAM 50 as the selection history entry 504, and also selects the selected history semantic number. The selected history meaning number 506 is stored in the RAM 50.

  Then, the explanation information corresponding to the selected history headword 504 is read from the English-Japanese dictionary data 404 and displayed on the display unit 30 (step S554). Next, the description information is scrolled so that the display position of the description information corresponding to the selected history meaning number 506 is the head position of the display unit 30, and the explanation information corresponding to the selected history meaning number 506 is specially displayed by the underline UL1. (Step S556).

  An example number corresponding to the selected history headword 504 and the selected history semantic number 506 is acquired from the English-Japanese dictionary data 404 (step S558), and an example corresponding to the example number is read from the example data 406 and displayed on the display unit 30. A window is displayed (for example, the example window W7 in FIG. 10C) (step S560).

  The CPU 10 specially displays the example displayed based on the selected history headword 504 and the selected history semantic number 506. Specifically, the example corresponding to the history example number stored in the record of the test history 414 storing the selection history headword 504 and the selection history semantic number 506 is specially displayed by the underline UL3 (step S562).

  If it is determined in step S520 that the problem selection operation has not been performed (step S520: No), if it is determined in step S548 that the test history key 5m has not been pressed (step 548: No), or after the processing of step 562 The CPU 10 determines whether or not the problem key 5g has been pressed (step S564).

  When determining that the question key 5g has been pressed (step S564: Yes), the CPU 10 causes the display unit 30 to display a question, an answer, and correctness based on the scoring result data 412 (step S566). Specifically, the question corresponding to the question number stored in the scoring result data 412 is read from the question data 408. Then, the question number is displayed with correct / incorrect and the problem corresponding to the question number is displayed. Next, the same option as the answer among the displayed options in the problem is highlighted.

  When it is determined in step S564 that the problem key 5g has not been pressed (step S564: No), or after the process in step S566, an operation for ending the review process by the user (for example, simultaneous operation of the shift key and the problem key 5g) It is determined whether or not a pressing operation has been performed (step S568). If it is determined that the operation has not been performed (step S568: No), the CPU 10 proceeds to the process of step S520. If it is determined that the operation has been performed (step S568: Yes), the review process is terminated.

  9 to 11 are diagrams showing examples of screen transitions of specific display screens of the electronic dictionary 1. Hereinafter, it will be described together with user operation examples.

  First, when the user presses the question key 5g, a list of question numbers is displayed on the test screen W1 displayed on the display unit 30. When the user performs a question number selection operation such as selecting question numbers “Q1”, “Q2”, “Q3”, and “Q4”, the problem corresponding to the selected problem number is displayed on the display unit 30 ( FIG. 9A) (corresponding to steps S100 to S102 → S104 to S106 shown in FIG. 6B).

  The user selects the question number by moving the reverse display R1 with the up and down keys of the cursor key 5b, and moves the reverse display R3 of the option in question corresponding to the selected question number with the left and right keys. After the selection, an answer operation such as pressing the enter key 5a is performed to determine the answer.

  As shown in FIG. 9A, when the user selects the question number “Q4” with the reverse display R1, the option “I went to bed (in / at) ten last night.” Corresponding to the question number is selected. It becomes a state that can be selected. In the figure, the user has selected the option “in” on the reverse display R3, and when the left / right key is pressed in this state, the reverse display R3 moves to “at”. When “at” is selected in the reverse display R3 and the enter key 5a is pressed, the display unit 30 is switched to the test result screen W3 as shown in FIG. 9B, and the question number and the answer correctness SY1 for the question are displayed. Is done. FIG. 9B shows that the answers of the question numbers “Q1”, “Q3”, and “Q4” are correct and the answer of the question number “Q2” is incorrect. The comment mark M1 displayed at this time indicates that the commentary on the displayed problem can be displayed.

  Until the answer operation is performed and the test result screen W3 in FIG. 9B is displayed, the CPU 10 performs the scoring process and the update of the stored contents of the test history 414. Specifically, when the user performs an answer operation, the answer selected by the operation is stored in the scoring result data 412 by the CPU 10. As shown in FIG. 5B, “in”, “in”, “under”, and “at” selected by the user in FIG. 9B are stored as answers in association with the problem numbers (FIG. 6). (Corresponding to steps S108 → S110 shown in (b)).

  Then, the CPU 10 performs a scoring process. For example, the first record of the scoring result data 412 in FIG. 5B is read, and the correct answer “in” corresponding to the question number “Q1” of the record is acquired from the question data 408. Since the acquired correct answer “in” matches the read record answer “in”, the CPU 10 determines that the user's answer is correct and sets “◯” as the correctness of the scoring result data 412. (Corresponding to steps S300 to S304 → S306 shown in FIG. 6C). Similarly, whether or not each record of the scoring result data 412 is correct is determined, and correct / incorrect is set as shown in FIG.

  Based on the scoring result data 412, the stored contents of the test history 414 are updated. For example, assume that the first record of the scoring result data 412 in FIG. Since the correctness of the record is “◯”, the reference headword “in” and the reference meaning number “1” corresponding to the problem number “Q1” of the record are acquired. It is determined that the record storing the acquired reference headword and reference semantic number is not in the test history 414, and the next record is read from the scoring result data 412 (steps S500 to S502 → S504 → S506 shown in FIG. 7). → S514 → S516).

  Next, since the correctness of the read record is “×”, reference data (reference headword “by”, reference meaning number “10”, and reference example number “15”) corresponding to the problem number “Q2” is acquired. Then, it is additionally stored as a new record in the test history 414 and becomes the test history 414 having the data structure shown in FIG. Therefore, if the user makes a mistake, the reference data corresponding to the problem is accumulated in the test history 414 (corresponding to steps S502 → S510 to S512 shown in FIG. 7).

  Further, it is assumed that the user can correctly answer the problem once made wrong. In this case, the correctness of the record read from the scoring result data 412 by the CPU 10 is “◯”, and the reference headword and the reference meaning number corresponding to the problem number of the record are acquired. Since this is a problem that has been mistaken once in the past, the record storing the acquired reference headword and the reference meaning number is already stored in the test history 414. Therefore, the CPU 10 deletes the record from the test history 414 (corresponding to steps S502 → S504 → S506 → S508 shown in FIG. 7). Therefore, in the test history 414, reference data of problems that could not be correctly answered when the user solved the same problem again among the reference data corresponding to the wrong problems in the past is accumulated and stored.

  As shown in FIG. 9B, when the user selects the question number “Q2” by the reverse display R1 and presses the explanation key 5h, the explanation window W5 is displayed on the display unit 30 and is displayed in the window. Explanation CT1 is displayed (FIG. 9C) (corresponding to steps S520 → S522 → S524 to S526 shown in FIG. 8). At this time, the CPU 10 obtains the comment number “K1” corresponding to the problem number “Q2”, and reads the comment “(1)“ representing “location” ”corresponding to the comment number from the comment data 410. Is displayed. The user can display an explanation not displayed in the explanation window W5 by moving the scroll bar SB with the cursor key 5b.

  When the user presses the return key 5d, the explanation window W5 is closed and the screen is switched to the screen of FIG. 9B (corresponding to steps S528 → S530 shown in FIG. 8).

  When the enter key 5a is pressed in the state of FIG. 9B, the explanatory information CT3 of “by”, which is an important word in the problem of the problem number “Q2”, is displayed from the meaning number “1a” on the test result screen W3. (FIG. 10A) (corresponding to steps S532 → S534 to S536 shown in FIG. 8).

  The question mark M3 displayed at this time indicates that the state can be switched to the test result screen W3 of FIG. 9B by pressing the question key 5g. Further, the example mark M5 indicates that the example window W7 as shown in FIG. 10C can be displayed by pressing the example key 5k.

  Then, the explanation information CT3 is automatically scrolled, the explanation information CT5 starting from the meaning number “10” is displayed, and the explanation information “... Corresponding to the meaning number“ 10 ”is used. "" Is specially displayed by the underline UL1 (FIG. 10B) (corresponding to step S538 shown in FIG. 8). The display position control and special display by the scroll are performed based on the reference semantic number “10” of the reference data corresponding to the problem number “Q2”.

  Next, an example window W7 is displayed, and an example CT7 is displayed in the window, and “go by train” which is the example closest to the usage of “by” in the question of the question number “Q2” is taken. "Is specially displayed by the underline UL3 (FIG. 10C) (corresponding to steps S540 to S544 shown in FIG. 8). The three examples displayed in the example window W7 are examples based on the example numbers “13, 14, 15” corresponding to the reference headword “by” and the meaning number “10”. Among the examples, only the example of the reference example number “15” of the reference data corresponding to the problem number “Q2” acquired by the CPU 10 is specially displayed.

  When the English-Japanese key 5e is pressed in the state of FIG. 9B, the display unit 30 is switched to the English-Japanese screen W9, and the explanation information CT3 of “by” is displayed (FIG. 11A), and then the electronic dictionary 1 Operates by switching to an English-Japanese dictionary (corresponding to steps S546 → S570 shown in FIG. 8).

  When the test history key 5m is pressed in the state of FIG. 9B, the display unit 30 is switched to the test history screen W11, and the history list LST is displayed based on the test history 414 (FIG. 11B) ( (Corresponding to steps S548 → S550 shown in FIG. 8).

  When a test history selection operation such as selecting “by 10” from the history list LST with the reverse display R5 and pressing the enter key 5a is performed, the screen is switched to the screen of FIG. Thereafter, the explanation information CT3 scrolls to a test result screen W3 as shown in FIG. Then, an example window W7 is displayed as shown in FIG. 10C (corresponding to steps S552 → S554 to S562 shown in FIG. 8).

  As described above, according to the first embodiment, when the user performs an answer operation on the displayed problem, the CPU 10 performs the scoring process and sets right or wrong for the question number of the answered question. The CPU 10 additionally stores in the test history 414 the reference headword, reference meaning number, and reference example number of the reference data corresponding to the question number set as incorrect. In addition, when the record in which the reference headword and the reference meaning number corresponding to the question number set as the correct answer are already stored in the test history 414, the record is deleted from the test history 414. Thereby, in the test history 414, important words (reference headwords) are accumulated in a problem that cannot be correctly answered when the user solves the same problem again, among the problems that the user has wrong in the past. Therefore, the user can easily check the important words and important grammars of his / her wrong problem according to the contents of the test history 414, and can review efficiently.

  Further, when the determination key 5a is pressed after the problem number is selected by the user, the CPU 10 displays the explanation information based on the selected problem number. The explanation information corresponding to the reference meaning number of this explanation information is displayed at the head part of the display unit 30, and is further specially displayed with the underline UL1. Further, the CPU 10 displays an example corresponding to the reference headword, and specially displays the example corresponding to the reference example number by the underline UL3. With such display position control and special display, the user can easily check the explanation information and examples of the important word in question, as well as the explanation information in the meaning of the word in question, Appropriate examples of usage can be appropriately confirmed. Therefore, it is possible to learn the grammatical content of the problem by using explanation information and examples suitable for the wrong problem, and to review efficiently.

  In the first embodiment, it has been described that only the correctness of the problem is displayed after the answer operation. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the number of times the same problem is incorrect may be displayed. Good. Specifically, the scoring result data 412 is stored accumulatively with question numbers, answers, and correctness. A record having the same problem number as the problem number displayed in step S106 is searched from the scoring result data 412, and the number of records in which the correctness is set to “x” is counted from the retrieved records. Is displayed. In the scoring result data 412, when the user solves the same problem, a plurality of records having the same problem number are stored. Therefore, by referring to the correctness of the same problem number, the number of times the same problem of the user is wrong is counted. be able to. FIG. 11C is a display example in the case where the number of times the problem is wrong is displayed together with correctness. As shown in the figure, by displaying the problem with the wrong number of times TM “3”, the user can know how many times the same problem was wrong, and clearly understand the problem and important words that are not good. can do.

  Further, when the wrong number of times reaches a predetermined value (for example, 5 times), it is possible to automatically display the explanation information and the example corresponding to the reference headword. For example, when the user mistakes the same question five times, the explanation information of the reference headword corresponding to the question number is automatically displayed. Thereby, it is possible to force the user to review a problem that has been mistaken for a predetermined number of times.

  Moreover, although it demonstrated as the electronic dictionary 1 which learns English, it is not restricted to this, It can design suitably. Hereinafter, a modified example will be described in which the electronic dictionary 1 of the first embodiment is redesigned as an electronic dictionary 1 for learning history.

[Modification]
In the modification, the flash ROM 40 stores a historical character dictionary and question data composed of history contents.

  The historical person dictionary is a data table for collecting and storing records that associate headwords of person names with explanation information of the headwords. For example, the description information “First Tokugawa Shogun. First child of Hirotada Matsudaira....” Is stored in association with the headword “Ieyasu Tokugawa”.

  The question data has a table configuration similar to that of the question data 408 of the first embodiment, and various data are stored according to the history content. For example, in question number “Question 1”, the question “It was (Ieyasu Tokugawa / Hideyoshi Toyotomi) who fought against the western army in the Battle of Sekigahara.”, The correct answer “Ieyasu Tokugawa” and the reference headword “Tokugawa. “Ieyasu” is stored in association with each other.

  Similar to the first embodiment, when the user performs a question number selection operation, the problem corresponding to the problem number selected by the operation is displayed on the display unit 30 as shown in FIG. When a question number is selected on the reverse display R7, an answer is selected on the reverse display R9, and the decision key 5a is pressed, whether the answer is correct SY3 is displayed as shown in FIG.

  In the problem number “Question 1”, the answer selected by the user is “Hideyoshi Toyotomi”, but the correct answer corresponding to the problem number is “Ieyasu Tokugawa”. For this reason, the question number is incorrect and “x” is displayed. At this time, the reference headword “Ieyasu Tokugawa” is registered in the test history 414.

  When the user selects “Question 1” on the reverse display R7 and presses the enter key 5a, the explanation information CT9 of “Tokugawa Ieyasu” such as “Tokukawa's first general. (FIG. 12C). At this time, the CPU 10 reads the reference headword “Ieyasu Tokugawa” corresponding to the question number “Question 1” from the question data, and the explanation information corresponding to the reference headword is read from the historical person dictionary. The description information CT9 is displayed on the display unit 30.

  As described above, according to the modification, it is possible to realize the electronic dictionary 1 that can learn not only English but also history, and the same effects as those of the first embodiment can be obtained. Of course, the same effect can be obtained by incorporating not only English and history but also a dictionary DB of other foreign languages, kanji, proverbs, etc. and question data.

  In the modified example, the description information by the character string is displayed. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, still images (for example, portraits of people) and moving images (for example, animations of historical events) May be displayed. As a result, the user can easily understand the learning contents such as historical events visually.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment in which the system of the present invention is applied to a test system 8 including a test terminal PC, a dictionary terminal 1a which is a kind of information display control device, and a server SV will be described with reference to FIGS. This will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

  The dictionary terminal 1a includes a mobile phone, a personal computer, an electronic watch, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistants), an electronic dictionary, and the like. The flash ROM 40 and the RAM 50 of the electronic dictionary 1 of the first embodiment are replaced with the flash ROM 42 and the RAM 52. It is the structure replaced with. The same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the learning process in FIG. 6A, the questioning process in FIG. 6B, the scoring process in FIG. 6C, and FIG. The same processing content as the review processing of ˜8 is denoted by the same reference numeral, and description thereof is omitted.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram showing the configuration of the test system 8. The test system 8 is configured by connecting a test terminal PC, a server SV, and a dictionary terminal 1a to the Internet network N. The test terminal PC is a general personal computer, and is configured to be able to communicate with the server SV via the Internet network N. The test terminal PC may be constituted by a mobile phone, a personal computer, an electronic watch, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistants), an electronic dictionary, and the like. The server SV performs data transmission / reception with the dictionary terminal 1a based on the data transmitted from the test terminal PC.

  Specifically, when the user operates the test terminal PC to answer the question, the content of the answer is transmitted to the server SV via the Internet network N. Then, data based on the contents of the answer is transmitted to the dictionary terminal 1a, and the user reviews the problem answered at the test terminal PC according to the problem displayed according to the received data and whether the answer is correct. Further, in the dictionary terminal 1a, points are calculated according to the review contents of the user and transmitted to the server SV. The server SV transmits a message to the dictionary terminal 1a based on the transmitted points, and causes the dictionary terminal 1a to display the message.

The test terminal PC includes a storage device 80 configured by a hard disk or the like.
FIG. 14A is a diagram illustrating a configuration of the storage device 80. As shown in the drawing, the storage device 80 stores question data 408, scoring result data 412a, and a question program 418.

The server SV includes a storage device 82 composed of a hard disk or the like.
FIG. 14B is a diagram illustrating a configuration of the storage device 82. As shown in the figure, the storage device 82 stores question data 408, scoring result data 412b, explanation data 410, user points 430, and a second scoring program 432.

  The user point 430 is a count value counted by the scoring result data 412 and points transmitted from the dictionary terminal 1a.

  The second scoring program 432 is a program for realizing the second scoring process according to the second embodiment. When the scoring result data 412 is received from the test terminal PC of the server SV, the second scoring process is started by reading the second scoring program 432 from the storage device 82 and developing it in the RAM of the server SV.

  FIG. 14C is a diagram showing an example of the data configuration of the RAM 52 and the flash ROM 42 of the dictionary terminal 1a. As shown in the figure, the flash ROM 42 stores an English-Japanese dictionary DB 402, question data 408, scoring result data 412c, comment data 410, a second test history 434, and a second review program 436.

  The second test history 434 is a data table for storing the history headword, the history semantic number, the history example number, and the browsing date in association with each other. FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating an example of the data configuration of the second test history 434. As shown in the figure, records in which a history word meaning number, a history example number, and a viewing date are associated with a history headword are stored cumulatively. For example, the history headword “by” is associated with a history semantic number “10”, a history example number “15”, and a browsing date “May 3”. This is because the date when the user selects the history headword “by” and the history meaning number “10” on the test history screen W11 and browses the explanation information corresponding to the history headword is “May 3”. It represents that. In addition, the browsing date of the record storing the history entry word “into” and the history meaning number “1” is “−”. This is because the history headword and the history semantic meaning number are not selected in the test history screen W11 after being stored in the second test history 434, and explanation information is not browsed by the user. Represents.

  The second review program 436 is a program for realizing the second review process according to the second embodiment. The second review process starts when the dictionary terminal 1 a receives the scoring result data 412, the question data 408, and the explanation data 410 from the server SV, reads the second review program 436 from the flash ROM 42, and expands it in the RAM 52.

  14C, the RAM 52 stores a selection question number 502, a selection history headword 504, a selection history word meaning number 506, a registration point 530, and a received message 532.

  The registration point 530 is a count value that is counted by the CPU 10 based on the second test history 434. The received message 532 is a message received from the server SV.

  Next, a specific operation of the test system 8 will be described in detail with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. In the second scoring process of FIG. 17, the processing steps different from the scoring process of the first embodiment and the processing steps different from the reviewing process of the first embodiment in the second review process of FIG. In the test system 8, the test terminal PC, the server SV, and the dictionary terminal 1a are described below as being always connected to the Internet network N.

  First, the test terminal PC performs question processing (step S1). The question number and the answer are stored by the questioning process and the scoring result data 412a is transmitted to the server SV (step S70), and then the operation of the test terminal PC is terminated.

  When the server SV receives the scoring result data 412a from the test terminal PC and stores it as the scoring result data 412b in the storage device 82 (step S70), the server SV performs the second scoring process (step S72). Specifically, the second scoring program 432 is read from the storage device 82 and developed in the RAM of the server SV to start the second scoring process.

  When starting the second scoring process, the server SV reads the question number and the answer from the scoring result data 412b as in the first embodiment, and acquires the correct answer corresponding to the answer from the question data 408. Then, it is determined whether or not the read answer is correct, and the correctness of the scoring result data 412b is set based on the determination result (steps S300 to S106, S308).

  Then, the server SV refers to the correctness of the scoring result data 412b and counts the number of records whose correctness is “◯”. Then, the count value is added to the user point 430 (step S310), and the second scoring process is terminated. As described above, the second scoring process is the same as the scoring process according to the first embodiment except for step S310.

  After executing the second scoring process, the server SV transmits the question data 408, the comment data 410, and the scoring result data 412b to the dictionary terminal 1a (step S74). When the registration point 530 is received from the dictionary terminal 1a (step S76), the received registration point 530 is added to the user point 430 (step S78).

  The server SV determines whether or not the user point 430 has reached a predetermined value (for example, 100) or more (step S80). When it is determined that the value is equal to or greater than the predetermined value (step S80: Yes), for example, a message such as “Point has reached 100. Well reviewed” is sent to the dictionary terminal 1a, and the server SV operates. Exit. If it is determined that the value is not equal to or greater than the predetermined value (step S80: No), the operation of the server SV is terminated as it is.

When the dictionary terminal 1a receives the question data 408, the explanation data 410, and the scoring result data 412b from the server SV (step S74), the CPU 10 executes a second review process (step S84). Specifically, the second review process 436 is started by reading the second review program 436 from the flash ROM 42 and developing it in the RAM 52. The received scoring result data 412b is stored in the flash ROM 42 as scoring result data 412c.

  When the second review process is started, the CPU 10 performs the processes of steps S500 to S550 as in the review process of the first embodiment. And it is discriminate | determined whether the user's test history selection operation was detected (step S552), and when it discriminate | determines that it detected (step S552: Yes), the selection history headword 504 and the selection history semantic number 506 are displayed. A date is set as the viewing date of the record of the stored test history 414 (step S553).

  And CPU10 performs the process of step S554-S568 similarly to the review process of 1st Embodiment. If it is determined in step S568 that an operation for ending the second review process has been performed (step S568: Yes), the CPU 10 calculates points based on the browsing date stored in the second test history 434. Thus, the registration point 530 is stored in the RAM 52. Specifically, each record of the second test history 434 is referred to, and the number of records whose browsing date is the date on which the second review process is executed is counted. Add to 530. After calculating the registration point 430, the CPU 10 ends the second review process. As described above, the second review process is the same process as the review process according to the first embodiment except for steps S553 and S569.

  After completing the second review process, the CPU 10 transmits the registration point 530 to the server SV (step S76). Thereafter, if it is determined that a message has been received from the server SV (step S86: Yes), the message is stored in the RAM 52 as the received message 532, and the received message 532 is displayed on the display unit 30 (step S88). The operation of the dictionary terminal 1a is terminated. If it is determined that no message is received from the server SV (step S86: No), the operation of the dictionary terminal 1a is terminated as it is.

  For example, when the points are calculated based on the correctness of the scoring result data 412 in FIG. 5B, since the number of “◯” is 3, “3” is added to the user point 430 (FIG. 17). Equivalent to step S310).

  In addition, when the user selects the history word “by” and the history meaning number “10” in the history list LST by the test history selection operation on the test history screen W11 of FIG. The browsing date of the record in which “by” and the history semantic number “10” are stored is set to “May 3”. Next, when the history headword “at” and the history meaning number “1” are selected by the test history selection operation, the browsing date of the record storing the history headword “at” and the history meaning number “1” is “ May 3 ”is set and becomes the second test history 434 of FIG. 15 (corresponding to steps S552 → S553 shown in FIG. 18).

  When the points are calculated based on the second test history 434 in FIG. 15, since there are two records with the browsing date “May 3”, the registration point 530 is set as “2” (FIG. 15). Equivalent to step S569 shown in FIG. The registration point 530 is transmitted to the server and added to the user point 430 (corresponding to step S76 shown in FIG. 16).

  When the user point 430 stored in the server SV exceeds “100”, the message “Point has reached 100. You reviewed well.” Is received from the server SV at the dictionary terminal 1a. The message is displayed on the display unit 30 (corresponding to steps S80 → S82 to S86 → S88 shown in FIG. 16).

  In addition, although it demonstrated that a message was transmitted to the dictionary terminal 1a when the user point 430 exceeded predetermined value, it is not restricted to this, For example, predetermined goods (for example, ball-point pen) addressed to the user of the dictionary terminal 1a ) May be sent.

  As described above, according to the second embodiment, the test terminal PC that executes the question processing executed in the first embodiment, the server SV that executes the second scoring process similar to the scoring process, and the review process are the same. The test system 8 is realized by the dictionary terminal 1a that executes the second review process by the above process, and the same effect as in the first embodiment can be obtained. As a result, the user receives the result of the test performed on the test terminal PC placed in the cram school etc. at the dictionary terminal 1a via the server SV, and the important word or important grammar of his / her wrong problem is received at the dictionary terminal 1a. It is easy to check and review efficiently.

  Further, based on the scoring result data 412c that is the user's test result and the user's test history selection operation, the server SV counts the user points 430, and when the user point 430 exceeds a predetermined value, the server SV A message is transmitted to the dictionary terminal 1a, and the message is displayed on the dictionary terminal 1a. As a result, the user reviews the problem so that the message is displayed. Therefore, the test system 8 can improve the user's willingness to learn.

  The dictionary terminal 1a may have the function of the test terminal PC. Specifically, after the question processing is performed by the dictionary terminal 1a, the scoring result data 412 is transmitted to the server SV. In this case, the server SV executes the second scoring process based on the scoring result data 412 transmitted from the dictionary terminal 1a.
