Description

  The present invention relates to a Chinese example sentence search apparatus and a Chinese example sentence search processing program for searching for example sentences when learning Chinese.

  Traditionally, various dictionaries and dictionaries such as English-Japanese dictionaries, English-English dictionaries, English thesauruses, Japanese-English dictionaries, and Japanese dictionaries are converted into electronic data and stored in storage media such as ROM, and various languages and phrases are searched based on this 2. Description of the Related Art A dictionary search apparatus that reads and displays translation information, meaning contents, and example sentences (examples) of a headword (a word or the like) that is input as a character string and is searched for is widely used.

  In recent years, some of these dictionary search devices have an example sentence search function that searches and displays example sentences including the found words directly from the desired found words.

  Conventionally, in this example sentence search function, a headword as a keyword for a number of example sentences described in all explanation information corresponding to each headword in the dictionary database with a desired headword as a keyword. Is retrieved, and each example sentence containing the same headword is read and displayed.

  However, if an example sentence including a keyword is searched for a large number of example sentences described in all explanatory information corresponding to each headword in the dictionary database, the search process takes a very long time.

For this reason, sub-dictionary data that stores all the example sentences in the dictionary database and associates them with pointers and stores them separately is provided. By searching for example sentences containing keywords only in the sub-dictionary data, high-speed example sentence search is possible. A dictionary search device is considered (for example, see Patent Document 1).

  When the “example sentence search” key in the input unit 16 is operated and input, the example sentence search program 12b is started together with the dictionary search processing program 12a, and when the Chinese example sentence search mode is set, first, as shown in FIG. Thus, the search method selection screen G for Chinese example sentence search is displayed on the display unit 17 (step S1).

  In this Chinese example sentence search method selection screen G, for example, in order for a Japanese user to input a correct Chinese search character string (keyword) from Japanese and perform an appropriate Chinese example sentence search When the selection item “[D] Search using a daytime dictionary” is selected and designated by the reverse cursor K and set to the keyword input mode using the daytime dictionary (step S2 (Yes)), FIG. As shown in A), a keyword input screen GD using a daytime dictionary is displayed on the display unit 17.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a search display operation based on a search character string (keyword) input using a daytime dictionary according to the Chinese example sentence search process of the portable device (electronic dictionary) 10.

  In the keyword input screen GD using the Japanese-Chinese dictionary in FIG. 5A, for example, the Chinese character “good morning” in Japanese is used as a keyword, and the kana character “good morning” is input and displayed in response to a user operation. When this is done (step S3), as shown in FIG. 5 (B), each Chinese word translated from each Japanese headword corresponding to the input kana character “Ohayo” based on the Japanese-Chinese dictionary 12c2. The words are searched and displayed on the display unit 17 as the daytime bilingual translation list screen GD1 (step S4).

  In this daytime bilingual translation list screen GD1, when an arbitrary Chinese word “Hayaan” that is a bilingual input of Japanese “Ohwa” is selected by the user operation of the reverse cursor K (step S5), this selection is made. The Chinese word “Hayaan” is displayed as a search character string (keyword) on the keyword input screen GD as shown in FIG. 5C and stored in the search character string memory 12f (step S6).

  If a user operation for selecting and inputting the next search character string (keyword) as an AND (&) condition is further performed (step S7 (Yes)), the processes of steps S2 to S6 are performed again. According to the user, an arbitrary Chinese word is selected from a Chinese word list that is another bilingual translation desired by the user, and the Chinese word “Hayaan” in the search character string (keyword) already selected and determined It is displayed as AND (&) and is additionally stored in the search character string memory 12f.

  In this way, “translation / determination” is performed in order to execute a Chinese example sentence search in a state in which a bilingual Chinese word from the Japanese desired by the user is looked up by the Japanese-Chinese dictionary 12c2 and selected and displayed as a search character string (keyword). When a user operation is performed with the key, the first keyword (in this case, “Hayaan”) stored in the search character string (keyword) memory 12f is designated (step S8), and the keyword example sentence number extraction process in FIG. (Step SA).

  When the keyword corresponding example sentence number extraction process is activated, the first kanji character “Haya” constituting the currently designated keyword “Hayaan” is designated (step A1), including the designated kanji character “Haya”. Example sentence numbers are extracted according to the example sentence search table 12d (step A2).

  Here, if it is determined that the search character string (keyword) memory 12f has the next Chinese character “A” next to the currently designated Chinese character “Haya” (step A3 (Yes)), the next Chinese character “A” is entered. "Is designated (step A4), and in the same manner as described above, example sentence numbers including the designated kanji character" A "are extracted according to the example sentence search table 12d (step A2).

  In step A3, if it is determined that there is no next kanji character in the search character string (keyword) memory 12f (step A3 (No)), for each kanji character “early” and “cheap” constituting the keyword. Among the extracted example sentence numbers, common example sentence numbers are narrowed down and extracted as example sentence numbers including all the kanji characters “Haya” and “An” (step A5).

  Then, from the example sentences in the Chinese-Japanese dictionary 12c1 linked to each example sentence number including all the kanji characters "Haya" and "An" of the keyword, the keyword "Hayaan" continues in the order of the kanji. The example sentences included are narrowed down and searched, and the example sentence numbers are extracted as keyword example sentence numbers (step A6).

  If it is determined that there is a next keyword additionally stored by AND (&) in the search character string (keyword) memory 12f (step S9 (Yes)), the next keyword is designated. (Step S10) In the same manner as described above, according to the keyword relevant example sentence number extraction process in FIG. 4, the example sentence number of the example sentence including the next keyword is extracted as the next keyword relevant example sentence number (Steps SA (A1 to A6)). .

  When the corresponding example sentence numbers are extracted for all the keywords stored in the search character string (keyword) memory 12f and it is determined that there is no next keyword (step S9 (No)), all The common example sentence numbers are narrowed down as the example sentence numbers including all the keywords from the corresponding example sentence numbers for the keywords of the keyword, and each example sentence linked to each example sentence number is read out from the Chunichi dictionary 12c1. As shown in FIG. 5 (D), the corresponding example sentence list screen GS is displayed on the display unit 17 (step S11).

  When an arbitrary example sentence [A] is selected and displayed from the example sentences [A] [B]... Displayed in the list by operating the reverse cursor K on the corresponding continuous sentence list screen GS (step). S12), all the information of the selected example sentence [A] is read from the Chunichi dictionary 12c1 and displayed as a search example sentence window WL as shown in FIG. 5D (step S13). ).

  When the “return” key is operated by the user with the search example sentence window WL selected by the user displayed on the corresponding example sentence list screen GS (step S14 (Yes)), the process returns to the process of step S11. The display returns to the display state of the corresponding example sentence list screen GS again, and another example sentence is restored to a state in which the user can select it (steps S14 → S11).

  This makes it possible to search for and display an appropriate Chinese example sentence that meets the user's request, using as a search character string (keyword) a correct Chinese word that is a desired Japanese translation searched using the Japanese-Chinese dictionary 12c2. It becomes like this.

  Thereafter, when the “example sentence search” key is operated by the user in order to search for an example sentence corresponding to the new keyword (step S15 (Yes)), each keyword stored in the search character string (keyword) memory 12f. Is deleted (step S16), and as shown in FIG. 2, the search method selection screen G for Chinese example sentence search is redisplayed on the display unit 17 (step S1).

  On the other hand, in the search method selection screen G for Chinese example sentence search shown in FIG. 2, an appropriate Chinese example sentence search is performed by inputting a correct Chinese search character string (keyword) from Chinese pronunciation. Therefore, when the selection item “[A] Search from Pinyin” is selected and designated by the reverse cursor K and set to the keyword input mode using the Chinese dictionary by the pinyin input (step S17 (Yes)), FIG. As shown in (A), a keyword input screen GA from Pinyin is displayed on the display unit 17.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a search display operation based on a search character string (keyword) input using a Chinese dictionary by pinyin input according to the Chinese example sentence search process of the portable device (electronic dictionary) 10.

  In the keyword input screen GA from Pinyin in FIG. 6A, for example, when pinyin “zaoan” is input and displayed in response to a user operation in order to use Chinese as a keyword as “Zaoan” (step) S18), as shown in FIG. 6B, each Chinese headword corresponding to the input pinyin “zaoan” is searched based on the Chinese-Japanese dictionary 12c1 (or Chinese dictionary), and the Chinese word for Pinyin is found. The word list screen GA1 is displayed on the display unit 17 (step S19).

  When the Chinese word “Hayaan” corresponding to the input pinyin “zaoan” is selected by the user operation of the reverse cursor K in the Chinese entry word list screen GA1 corresponding to Pinyin (step S5), this selection is made. On the keyword input screen GA as shown in FIG. 6C, the Chinese word “Hayaan” is displayed as the search character string (keyword) and stored in the search character string memory 12f (step S6).

  Here, when a user operation for selecting and inputting the next search character string (keyword) as an AND (&) condition is performed (step S7 (Yes)), the steps S17 to S19, S5 are performed again. , S6, an arbitrary Chinese word is selected from the Chinese word (keyword) list corresponding to the pinyin desired by the user, and the Chinese word of the search character string (keyword) already selected and determined “Early” and “&” are displayed and additionally stored in the search character string memory 12f.

  In this way, when a Chinese word corresponding to Pinyin desired by the user is selected and displayed as a search character string (keyword), a user operation is performed using the “translate / decide” key to execute a Chinese example sentence search. Similar to the case where the example sentence search is performed using the daytime dictionary 12c2, the processes according to the steps S8 to S13 are executed.

  That is, each example sentence including all keywords stored in the search character string (keyword) memory 12f is read from the Chunichi dictionary 12c1 and, as shown in FIG. 6D, the corresponding example sentence list screen GS. Is displayed on the display unit 17 (steps S8 to S11).

  Then, when an arbitrary example sentence [A] is selected and displayed from among the example sentences [A] [B]... Displayed in the list by operating the reverse cursor K on the corresponding continuous sentence list screen GS. (Step S12), all the information of the selected example sentence [A] is read from the Chunichi dictionary 12c1 and displayed as a search example sentence window WL as shown in FIG. Step S13).

  As a result, it becomes possible to search and display an appropriate Chinese example sentence that meets the user's request, using the correct Chinese word searched corresponding to Pinyin as a search character string (keyword).

  On the other hand, in the search method selection screen G for Chinese example sentence search shown in FIG. 2, in order to perform an appropriate Chinese example sentence search by inputting a search character string (keyword) of a plurality of kanji characters from Japanese readings. When the selection item “[B] Search from Japanese reading” is selected and specified by the reverse cursor K and is set to the keyword input mode using the kanji dictionary by Japanese reading input (step S20 (Yes)), As shown in FIG. 7A, a keyword input screen GB from Japanese reading is displayed on the display unit 17.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a search display operation based on a search character string (keyword) input using a Chinese character dictionary by Japanese reading input in accordance with Chinese example sentence search processing of the portable device (electronic dictionary) 10.

  In the keyword input screen GB from Japanese readings in FIG. 7A, for example, in order to use Chinese words composed of “quick” and “easy” Chinese characters in Japanese readings as keywords, first, FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, when the Japanese reading “Hayai” is input and displayed in accordance with the user operation (step S21), as shown in FIG. Each single kanji is searched from the kanji dictionary 12c3 and displayed as a single kanji list window WK (step S22).

  In this single kanji list window WK, when the user operates the reverse cursor K, as shown in FIG. 7D, an arbitrary single kanji character “Haya” corresponding to the input Japanese reading “Hayai” is selected. (Step S23) The selected single kanji character “Haya” is displayed as the first character of the search character string (keyword) on the keyword input screen GB as shown in FIG. 7E, and is displayed in the search character string memory 12f. Stored (step S24).

  Then, when it is desired to select and input the second kanji character, when Japanese easy to read is input and displayed on the keyword input screen GB shown in FIG. 7E (steps S24 → S21). In the same manner as described above, the processes in steps S21 to S23 are executed.

  That is, after each single kanji corresponding to the input Japanese reading “easy” is searched from the kanji dictionary 12c3 and displayed as a single kanji list window WK (step S22), in this single kanji list window WK, An arbitrary single kanji character “an” corresponding to the Japanese reading “easy” is selected (step S23), and the selected single kanji character “an” is already the first single character as shown in FIG. On the keyword input screen GB on which the Chinese character “early” is selected and displayed, it is displayed as the second character of the search character string (keyword) and is additionally stored in the search character string memory 12f (steps S24 → S6).

  If a user operation for selecting and inputting the next search character string (keyword) as an AND (&) condition is further performed (step S7 (Yes)), the steps S20 to S24 → S6 are performed again. In accordance with the above processing, a plurality of kanji characters corresponding to the user's desired Japanese reading are selected and input, and the kanji character string “Hayaan” corresponding to “Fast” and “Easy” of the search character string (keyword) already selected and determined And (&), and additionally stored in the search character string memory 12f.

  Thus, in the state where a plurality of kanji character strings corresponding to the user's desired Japanese readings are selected and displayed as search character strings (keywords), the user operation can be performed by the “translation / decision” key to execute Chinese example sentence search. When this is done, the processing according to steps S8 to S13 is executed in the same way as when searching for example sentences using the daytime dictionary 12c2 or when searching for example sentences from pinyin input.

  That is, each example sentence including all keywords stored in the search character string (keyword) memory 12f is read from the Chunichi dictionary 12c1 and, as shown in FIG. 7G, the corresponding example sentence list screen GS. Is displayed on the display unit 17 (steps S8 to S11).

  Then, when an arbitrary example sentence [A] is selected and displayed from among the example sentences [A] [B]...
