  Next, the Chinese sentence example search function by the electronic dictionary device 10 having the above configuration will be described.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a Chinese text search input screen G that is initially displayed on the display unit 17 when the Chinese sentence example sentence search program of the electronic dictionary device 10 is activated.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a Chinese sentence example search process according to the Chinese sentence example search program of the electronic dictionary device 10.

  When the Chinese sentence example search mode is selected in response to the operation of the dictionary specifying key 14b or the like, the Chinese sentence example search program is started, and when the Chinese sentence example search process in FIG. 4 is started, the Chinese sentence search input shown in FIG. A screen G is displayed on the display unit 17 (step S1).

  In this Chinese sentence search input screen G, there are an idiom search character string input area E1 for searching example sentences from idioms composed of a plurality of characters, and a reading order search character string input area E2 for searching example sentences from a character string according to a caution reading. Provided.

  In the Chinese text search input screen G, when a search character string is input to either the phrase search character string input area E1 or the reading order search character string input area E2 (step S2), the search character string is input. The search type is determined according to whether the area is area E1 or area E2 (step S3).

  When a search character string is input to the idiom search character string input area E1, in accordance with the idiom search processing in FIG. 5, an example sentence of the Chinese sentence based on the idiom search character string is searched (step SA), and the search result is It is displayed on the display unit 17 (step S4).

  When a search character string is input to the reading order search character string input area E2, according to the reading order search process in FIG. 7, a Chinese sentence example based on the reading order search character string is searched (step SB). The search result is displayed on the display unit 17 (step S4).

(Phrase word search process)
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an idiom search process associated with the Chinese sentence example search process of the electronic dictionary device 10.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a specific example of “Kanji sentence example data” (“reading” with Kiyoka and Yin has a shadow) for explaining the phrase search processing of the electronic dictionary device 10.

  When the idiom search process in FIG. 5 is started, the first example sentence data is read from the Chinese sentence example sentence database 24c (step A1) and inputted to the idiom search character string input area E1 of the Chinese sentence search input screen G. A character that matches the first character of the search character string (jukugo) is searched from the head of the example sentence data (step A2).

  Here, when it is determined that the first example sentence data does not contain any character that matches the first character of the search character string (jukugo) (step A3 (No)), the Chinese example sentence database 24c. The next example sentence data is read out from (Step A9 (Yes) → A1).

  If it is determined in the steps A2 and A3 that the first character in the search character string (jukugo) is in the some character in the example sentence data (step A3 (Yes)), It is determined whether the next code of the matched character in the example sentence data is a return point code (step A4).

  Here, when it is determined that the return point code (step A4 (Yes)), the return point code is skipped and the first character of the search character string (jukugo) is the same as described above for the code after the next character. A character that matches this character is searched (step A2).

  That is, even if there is a character string in the example sentence data that is in the same sequence as the search character string (jukugo), if there is a return point between the character strings, it is not extracted as example sentence data to be searched.

  Then, it was determined that the character string that matched in the same order as all the characters of the search character string (jukugo) was in the currently read example sentence data without a return point between the character strings. In this case (steps A3 to A7 (A6 (Yes)), the example sentence data is registered in the memory 23 as a search target (step A8).

  If there is the next example sentence data in the Chinese sentence example sentence database 24c (step A9 (Yes)), the next example sentence data is read out, and the search process based on the search character string (jukugo) is performed as described above. It is executed (steps A1 to A8).

  For example, as shown in FIG. 6, search for example sentence data “Hanayu 2 Kiyoka Jan Yue Le Yin” (Kiyana with Yin in the flower) and “Kyoka” and “Katsuki” as search character strings (jukugo). The case where it processed is demonstrated.

  In FIG. 6, [P] indicates a pointer that indicates the reading position of example sentence data, and the arrow x indicates the feed direction of the pointer [P] that is the reading direction.

  In the case where the search process is performed with “Kyoka” as a search character string (jukugo), the first character “Ki” and the second character “Koh” have no intervening return points between the character strings. Since the matching search is continuously performed from the example sentence data “Hanaari 2 Kiyoka Jan Yue Yin”, this example sentence data is registered as a search target and displayed as a candidate on the display unit 17 (steps SA and S4). .

  On the other hand, when “Katsuki” is searched for as a search character string (jukugo), the first character “incense” is first searched for a match from the example sentence data “Hanayu 2 Kiyoka 1 month Yu Ray”. However, since the second character is searched for next (step A3 (Yes)), it is determined that there is a return point code “1” before that (step A4 (Yes)). It is not registered as a search target and is not displayed as a candidate.

  For this reason, when a meaningful character string in accordance with the rules of kanji reading is input as a search character string (jukugo), only example sentence data that correctly includes the search character string (jukugo) is searched and displayed as candidates. Is done. On the other hand, if a meaningless character string that does not conform to the rules of kanji reading is input as a search character string (jukugo), it exists as a simple character string included in the example sentence data to be searched. It is not searched and has the effect of revising the user's misunderstanding.

(Reading order search process)
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a reading order search process associated with the Chinese sentence example search process of the electronic dictionary device 10.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the contents of the reading order search management buffer 28 that manages information for sequentially acquiring one Chinese character from the example sentence according to the rule of kanji reading of the Chinese sentence in the reading order search process of the electronic dictionary device 10. is there.

  The reading order search management buffer 28 stores the total number of characters A of the example sentence data to be searched, the pointer N indicating the number of characters in the reading order, the pointer P indicating the number of characters to be read, and the characters of the pointer P. A checkpoint counter R that counts the number of skipped points when there is a return point of check points, and a two-point flag T that is set when there are two return points in the character of the pointer P are stored.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a specific example of “Kanji sentence example data” for explaining the reading order search process of the electronic dictionary device 10 “(Reading) I ca n’t see you, but I ca n’t see you”.

  When the reading order search process in FIG. 7 is entered, after the first character of the search character string (reading order) input in the reading order search character string input area E2 of the Chinese text search input screen G is acquired ( Step B1), the first example sentence data is read from the Chinese sentence example sentence database 24c, and the number of characters A of the example sentence data managed by the reading order search management buffer 28 in FIG. Using N, the pointer P, the check point counter R, and the two-point flag T, one character in the reading order according to the rule of learning is acquired (step B2).

  That is, if a check mark is added to the target character designated by the pointer P, the check mark counter R is incremented by “+1” and the next character is acquired. When there are consecutive points, the numerical value indicated by the same point counter R is the number of times the character is returned, and after the character after the point is taken out, the character up to the character before the point is determined according to the number indicated by the counter value (R). Return.

  If two points are added to the target character designated by the pointer P, the two-point flag T is set, and the characters following the two points are acquired up to one point. Then, the process returns to the character with the two points added.

  As described above, the total number of characters A of the example sentence data managed by the reading order search management buffer 28 in FIG. 8, the pointer N, the pointer P, the point counter R, and the two-point flag T are used to read from the Chinese example sentence database 24c. For the example sentence data that is output, characters are acquired one by one in the order of reading in accordance with the rule of caution reading (step B2).

  When one character is acquired from the example sentence data in the order of reading in accordance with the rule of the literary reading by this Chinese sentence one character acquisition process (step B2), the search character string (reading order) acquired in step B1 is It is determined whether or not it matches the first character (step B3 (No) → B4).

  If it is determined that they do not match (step B4 (No)), the next character is acquired in the reading order of the currently read example sentence data (step B2), and again in step B1. It is determined whether or not it matches the first character of the acquired search character string (reading order) (step B3 (No) → B4).

  If it is determined that any one character acquired in the reading order of the example sentence data matches the first character of the search character string (reading order) (step B4 (Yes)), the search character The next character in the sequence (reading order) is sequentially obtained (step B6), and it is determined that all the characters are successively matched with each of the characters obtained in the reading order from the example sentence data (step B5 (Yes )), Steps B2 to B6 are repeated.

  In the middle of this, if it is determined in step B5 that the currently read example sentence data does not contain a character string that completely matches the search character string (reading order) and the reading order (step B3). (Yes)), the next example sentence data is read from the Chinese sentence example sentence database 24c (step B8 (Yes)), and the processes from the step B1 are repeated (steps B1 to B6).

  If it is determined that all the characters in the search character string (reading order) are continuously matched with the characters acquired in the reading order from the example sentence data (step B5 (Yes)), the example sentence data is It is registered in the memory 23 as a search target (step B7).

  If the next example sentence data is present in the Chinese sentence example sentence database 24c (step B8 (Yes)), the next example sentence data is read out, and the search processing based on the search character string (reading order) is performed as described above. Is executed (steps B1 to B7).

  For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the example sentence data “Shi-Kun Kimi-re-Kamishita 2 Jinju 1” (I can't see you but go down to Jinju) and “Kimi-Shi” is the search string (in reading order). A case where search processing is performed will be described.

  In FIG. 9, [P] indicates a pointer that indicates the reading position of example sentence data, and arrows x and y indicate the feed direction of the pointer [P] that changes according to the rule of learning.

  In this example sentence data, there are keywords “thought”, “you”, “not”, “look”, “bottom”, “渝”, and “state” in the order of the characters. When “Kimi thought” in “reading order” is searched, it is determined that the first character “Kimi” in the search character string (reading order) matches, and is not extracted as an example sentence to be searched.

  On the other hand, “kun”, “think”, “see”, “un”, “渝”, “state”, and “bottom” are acquired one by one according to the rule of kanji reading, and “Kimi” in the search character string (reading order). Can be extracted from the reading of a part of the example sentence of the Chinese sentence stored by the user and extracted as a candidate.

  For this reason, even if you do not remember the example sentences in Chinese as they are, you can enter the search string “Kimi think” in the order of words “Kimi wo kidomo”, for example, in the order of words You can search and display “Shire Kimi Unreshita 2 Zhengzhou 1”.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining the types and usages of return points used in Chinese sentence examples.

  There are “upper and lower points” in addition to the above-mentioned “let points” and “one and two points” as the return points of the Chinese texts, but the above-mentioned phrase search processing is also performed for example sentence data including any return points. By performing a search process similar to (see FIG. 5) or reading order search process (see FIG. 6), from a search string of correct idioms as Chinese text, or from a search string of kanji readings that the user remembers The target example sentence data can be searched.

  Therefore, according to the Chinese sentence example search function of the electronic dictionary device 10 having the above-described configuration, when a search character string (idiom) is input in the phrase search character string input area E1 of the Chinese sentence search input screen G, the Chinese sentence example sentence database 24c. For example sentence data sequentially read from the sentence, the example sentence data including the character string (jukugo) that completely matches the search character string (jukugo) and has no return point between the character strings is retrieved and displayed. . In addition, when a search character string (reading order) is input in the reading order search character string input area E2, the kanji 1 according to the rules of kanji reading for the example sentence data sequentially read from the kanji sentence example database 24c. Characters are sequentially acquired, and example sentence data that completely matches the search character string (reading order) is searched and displayed.

  For this reason, when searching for example sentences in kanji from the search character string (jukugo), the example sentence data can be searched correctly without entering a meaningful search character string (jukugo) that complies with the rules of kanji reading. Therefore, there is an effect of revising the user's wrong understanding. Also, when searching for example sentences in Chinese text from the search character string (reading order), there is an effect that desired example sentence data can be easily searched from the word order learned by kanji reading.

  In the above embodiment, when a search character string is input to the phrase search character string input area E1 on the Chinese text search input screen G (see FIG. 3), the phrase search character according to the phrase search process in FIG. When the Chinese sentence example based on the column is searched (step SA) and the search character string is input in the reading order search character string input area E2, the search character string in the reading order is read according to the reading order search process in FIG. Chinese sentence examples based on the above are searched (step SB).

  On the other hand, the search character string input area in the Chinese character search input screen G is set to one, and the phrase search processing is first executed for the search character string input in the search character string input area. If the example sentence data containing the exact character string is not found in the search character string, the reading order search process is executed, and the example character string data that contains the character that exactly matches the search character string in the reading order is searched. It is good.

  Similarly, there is one search character string input area on the Chinese text search input screen G, and the phrase search processing is first executed for the search character string input to the search character string input area. If the example sentence data containing the exact character string is not searched with the search character string as a phrase, the operation proceeds to the reading order search process by operating the “further search” key provided in advance. It is good also as a structure which searches the example sentence data containing the character completely matched in the reading order.

  Note that each processing method by the electronic dictionary device 10 described in each of the embodiments, that is, a kanji sentence example search process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 4, a idiom search process associated with the kanji example sentence search process shown in the flowchart of FIG. Each of the processing methods such as reading order search processing accompanying the Chinese sentence example search processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. 7 is a program that can be executed by a computer, such as a memory card (ROM card, RAM card, etc.), magnetic disk (floppy). It can be stored in an external storage medium such as a disk, hard disk, etc., optical disk (CD-ROM, DVD, etc.), semiconductor memory, and distributed. The various computer terminals storing the Chinese sentence example database (24c) read the program stored in the external storage medium into the storage device (22) by the storage medium reading unit, and the operation is controlled by the read program. Thus, it is possible to realize the Chinese sentence example sentence search function in accordance with the rules for reading Chinese sentences explained in the above embodiments, and to execute the same processing by the method described above.

  Further, program data for realizing each of the above methods can be transmitted on a communication network (Internet) as a program code form, and from a computer terminal (program server) connected to the communication network (Internet). The above-mentioned program data is taken in, and the Chinese sentence example sentence search function according to the above-mentioned rule of reading Chinese sentences can also be realized.
