(Wordbook sharing process)
FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the flow of a word book sharing process in which the CPU 20 reads and executes the information display program 81. 14-15 is a figure which shows the display content of the display part 40 at the time of execution of a word book sharing process.

  In the following description, it is assumed that the two electronic dictionaries 1 communicate. In addition, one of these two electronic dictionaries 1 is distinguished as an electronic dictionary 1X, and the other as an electronic dictionary 1Y. In addition, each part of the electronic dictionary 1X has an “X” at the end of the code and each part of the other electronic dictionary 1Y. A “Y” is appended to the end of the code to distinguish them.

  As shown in FIG. 13, in this word book sharing process, when the user selects the word book table 87 as a reception target in the electronic dictionary 1Y (step T1), the CPU 20Y of the electronic dictionary 1Y reads the word book from the electronic dictionary 1X. Information in the table 87X is received (step T2).

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 14A, in the electronic dictionary 1Y, the CPU 20Y performs an operation for instructing transmission / reception of information in a state where the headwords stored in the word book table 87Y are displayed as a list. Then, the information in the word book table 87 is set as a reception target, and a selection menu as to whether to enter a transmission / reception standby state is displayed on the main display 10Y. Next, when the selection menu for entering the standby state for transmission / reception is selected by the user, as shown in FIG. 14B, the CPU 20Y displays a message indicating that the standby state has been entered on the main display 10Y. Then, the CPU 20Y receives information (a plurality of types of information in which headwords, dictionary names, and the number of devices are associated) in the word book table 87X in the electronic dictionary 1X via the communication unit 50Y.

  Next, when the CPU 20Y of the electronic dictionary 1Y cancels the standby state (step T3), the CPU 20X of the electronic dictionary 1X ends the transmission of information.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 14C, the CPU 20Y causes the main display 10Y to display a message indicating that the standby state has been released and a selection menu as to whether or not to enter the standby state again. It is determined whether or not an operation for entering the electronic dictionary 1Y is performed (step T4). When it is determined that an operation for entering the standby state is performed (step T4; Yes), the above-described operation is performed. The process proceeds to step T2.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step T4 that the electronic dictionary 1Y has been operated so as not to enter the standby state (step T4; No), the CPU 20Y organizes the received data (step T5). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15A, first, the CPU 20Y uses a selection menu for the order of headwords included in the received data as the “number of imported devices” (words using the headword as a sharing target. The number of devices stored in the book table 87) is displayed on the main display 10. Then, when the selection menu of “number of imported devices” is selected, as shown in FIG. 15B, the CPU 20Y rearranges the headwords in the descending order of the number of associated devices, The dictionary name of the entry word recording source is associated with the list and displayed on the main display 10Y, and among the entry words included in the list, the electronic dictionary 1A (in this case, the electronic dictionary) of the other device is used five times or more. In the electronic dictionary 1) of other devices excluding 1X, headwords registered in the word book table 87 as a sharing target, that is, headwords with five or more devices associated in the received data are marked with a predetermined color Display. Thereby, each headword received from the favorite word book table 87 of the electronic dictionary 1A of the other device is displayed in a display mode corresponding to the number of devices associated with the headword. Further, at this time, the CPU 20Y displays the headwords already registered in the word book table 87Y among the headwords included in the list in bold. In FIG. 15B, the headwords “A” to “G” are displayed as markers, and the headword “E” is displayed in bold.

  However, in the above step T5, as shown in FIG. 14D, the CPU 20Y displays on the main display 10Y a selection menu as to whether or not the received information is to be organized, and an operation for organizing is performed. It is also possible to organize received information only in the case of a change.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 15B described above, when any headword is selected as a headword to be shared by the user, the CPU 20Y stores the selected headword in the word book table 87. Later (step T6), as shown in FIG. 15C, the headword in the word book table 87 is displayed on the main display 10 in association with the dictionary name of the dictionary database 820 of the source. In FIG. 15B, the headword checked with the check box on the left side in the figure is selected as the sharing target.

  Then, when the headword registered as a sharing target in the word book table 87 is transmitted from the communication unit 50 of the electronic dictionary 1Y to the electronic dictionary 1X (step T7), the CPU 20X of the electronic dictionary 1X adds a word to the received headword. The number of devices associated in the book table 87 is increased by “1”, and the word book sharing process is terminated.

  According to the electronic dictionary 1 described above, as shown in steps S27 to S29 of FIG. 3B, FIG. 5, FIG. Since the number of devices stored in the other device is counted and stored, each book name is received from the other device together with the number of devices, and each received book name is displayed in a display mode corresponding to the number of devices. A book name stored as a sharing target by other users on a large number of users can be taken into the local apparatus. Therefore, unlike the conventional case where a huge amount of book names registered by other people are unconditionally taken into the own device, book names registered by other people can be shared appropriately and easily according to their preferences. it can.

  Further, as shown in step S32 of FIG. 5, FIG. 12, and the like, the marker display character string stored in the tag marker database 86 for each book content 830 in the other device is transmitted from the other device as the book name transmission source. Among the information, information stored for the book content 830 stored in the own device is received, and the received information is additionally stored in the tag marker database 86 for each book content 830, so that the stored information is stored in the own device. With respect to the book content 830, the marker display character string information can be shared.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 3C, step S24 in FIG. 6, FIG. 12C, etc., the own device or other device to which the comment is input is associated with the position information of the marker display character string and the comment. The user name of the device is stored in the tag marker database 86, and the comment and user name corresponding to the marker display character string are displayed in association with the marker display character string, so that the creator of the comment can be easily confirmed. .

  Further, as shown in step T5 of FIG. 13, FIG. 15B, and the like, for each headword, the number of devices of other devices that store the headword as a headword to be shared is counted and stored. Since each headword is received from the other device together with the number of devices, and each received headword is displayed in a display mode according to the number of devices, headwords stored by many users as sharing targets. Can be loaded into the device. Accordingly, unlike the conventional case where a huge amount of words registered by other people are unconditionally taken into the own device, the words registered by other people can be shared appropriately and easily according to their own preferences.

  Further, as shown in step T5 of FIG. 13, FIG. 15B, and the like, among the received headwords, headwords already stored in the word book table 87 are identified and displayed. Duplicate registration can be easily prevented.

  The embodiments to which the present invention can be applied are not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be appropriately changed without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

  For example, the information display device according to the present invention has been described as the electronic dictionary 1, but those to which the present invention can be applied are not limited to such products, but are mobile phones, personal computers, PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants), and game machines. It can be applied to all electronic devices. Further, the information display program 81 according to the present invention may be stored in a memory card, CD, or the like that can be attached to and detached from the electronic dictionary 1.
