Embodiment

[the 1st embodiment]

At first, describe the 1st embodiment when information display control apparatus of the present invention is applicable to electronic dictionary in detail with reference to Fig. 1-Figure 11.

Figure 1A, Figure 1B are the figure of outward appearance one example of expression electronic dictionary 1.As shown in the figure, electronic dictionary 1 possesses display 3 and operation enter key group 5.Operation enter key group 510 possesses: input operation is definite key 500 of showing of definiteness really; The cursor key 520 of the mobile indication of input cursor etc.; Character entry key 540; Be used for retrieving again transfer key (jump key) 560b of the entry that the character by descriptive information begins; Be used for demonstration is turned back to the return key 560c of display frame before; Be used to select the dictionary options button 580 of dictionary kind; Be used for making pronunciation assumed name (pronunciation) to be shown in pronunciation kana key 560a of descriptive information etc.

Fig. 2 is the block diagram that the function of expression electronic dictionary 1 constitutes.As shown in the figure, electronic dictionary 1 is connected CPU (Central Processing Unit) 10, input part 20, display part 30, ROM (Read Only Memory) 40 on the bus 60 with RAM (Random Access Memory) 50 and constitutes.

CPU10 carries out based on pre-programmed processing corresponding to the indication of being imported, and carries out the indication of each function portion and the input and output of data.Particularly, CPU10 reads the program that is stored among the ROM 40 corresponding to the operation signal from input part 20 inputs, carries out processing according to this program.In addition, the video data that will be used for the display process result outputs to display part 30, will be shown in the display part 30 according to the display frame of this video data.

Input part 20 (operation enter key group 5 shown in Figure 1) possesses required key groups such as input of characters such as assumed name, α β or function selecting, and the signal etc. pressed of the key that is pressed is outputed to CPU10.

Display part 30 (being equivalent to display shown in Figure 1 3) is the video data that is used for according to from the CPU10 input, and the display device that various pictures are shown is by LCD formations such as (Liquid CrystalDisplay).

ROM 40 storages are used to carry out the initial program of the inspection of various initial settings, hardware or the download of required program etc.CPU10 sets the operating environment of electronic dictionary 1 by carrying out this initial program when the power connection of electronic dictionary 1.In addition, ROM 40 storage is used to realize to relate to the data or the program of various functions of the action of electronic dictionary 1.

According to Fig. 2, ROM 40 storage national language dictionary DB42 and dictionary search programs 44, national language dictionary DB42 have entry form 42a and descriptive information form 42b and constitute, and dictionary search program 44 comprises the 1st pronunciation assumed name display routine 44a and branching program 44b.

Entry form 42a be set and the storage entry that will have the pronunciation of the statement that comprises Chinese character and this statement, with the data form of the corresponding record of descriptive information sequence number.The LSN of each record of descriptive information form 42b is distributed in the indication of descriptive information sequence number.In addition, the record that is stored among the entry form 42a is arranged in proper order according to the 50 sound picture that is contained in the pronunciation in each record in advance.

Descriptive information form 42b is the data form of set and the storage record that LSN is corresponding with descriptive information.

Fig. 3 is the figure that the data of expression entry form 42a constitute an example.As shown in the figure, the descriptive information sequence number is stored with the entry that comprises pronunciation and statement is corresponding.For example, be that ' To ほん ', statement are corresponding storage of entry of ' Japan ' with pronunciation with descriptive information sequence number " 83 ".In addition, ' the Japanese ァ Le プス ', will also be stored in by the statement that Chinese character and kana character constitute among the entry form 42a as this figure.In addition, in the present embodiment, the following describes hiragana and katakana are collectively referred to as " assumed name ".

Fig. 4 is the figure that the data of expression descriptive information form 42b constitute an example.According to this figure, descriptive information is stored after corresponding to LSN.For example, will ' my Ga state title of a reigning dynasty of To ほん (Japan).Divine and mighty Mikado found the state ground と ... ' wait descriptive information corresponding to LSN " 83 ".

'.Like this, utilize descriptive information sequence number and LSN, the entry of corresponding set entry form 42a, with the descriptive information of descriptive information form 42b, constitute dictinary information.

Dictionary DB built-in in this national language dictionary DB42 and the existing electronic dictionary is the same, realizes common dictionary inspection (being equivalent to the processing of the step S1-S7 of Fig. 5) or forwarding function (being equivalent to the processing of the step S15 of Fig. 5) etc. with this national language dictionary DB42.In addition, the also demonstration of the pronunciation assumed name of the characteristic processing by using this national language dictionary DB42 to realize to constitute the 1st embodiment.

Dictionary search program 44 is the programs that are used to realize dictionary inspection processing.In a single day CPU10 presses national language key 580a by detecting the user, then reads dictionary search program 44 from ROM 40, and the inspection of beginning dictionary is handled.

The 1st pronunciation assumed name display routine 44a is the program that is used to realize the 1st pronunciation assumed name display process of the 1st embodiment.CPU10 then reads the 1st pronunciation assumed name display routine 44a in case detection is pressed pronunciation kana key 560a by the user from ROM 40, begin the 1st pronunciation assumed name display process.

Branching program 44b is the program that is used to realize transfer processing.CPU10 then reads branching program 44b in case detection is pressed transfer key 560b by the user from ROM 40, the beginning transfer processing.

RAM50 possesses the storage area of various programs that temporary transient keeping CPU10 carries out or the data that relate to these program implementation etc.According to Fig. 2, RAM50 stores input of character string 52, extracts character string 54 and comprises pronunciation 56a and the selection entry 56 of statement 56b.

Input of character string 52 is to press the character string that character entry key 540 is imported by the user.CPU10 appends the character of input and is stored in the input of character string 52 when each 1 character input character, upgrades.

Extracting character string 54 is extracted strings in the descriptive information of CPU10 from be shown in display part 30.Particularly, in the 1st embodiment, CPU10 extract based on by 1 character of the Chinese character in the descriptive information of user's appointment, with the character string that is connected on the Chinese character of this Chinese character back continuously, promptly, store as extracting character string 54 with the character string of the Chinese character in the descriptive information headed by the Chinese character of appointment.CPU10 checks the entry that comprises with these extraction character string 54 on all four statements from entry form 42a, and the pronunciation of this entry that retrieves is shown in the display part 30, the demonstration of the pronunciation assumed name of the characteristic processing of the 1st embodiment of realization formation thus.

Selecting entry 56 is by the pronunciation of the entry of selecting in the entry substitute (for example entry of Fig. 7 B substitute LST1) of user from be shown in display part 30 and the combination of statement.CPU10 is in case select an entry from entry substitute, then with the pronunciation of the entry selected as the pronunciation 56a that selects entry 56, the statement of this entry as the statement 56b that selects entry 56, is stored among the RAM50.

Below, the concrete action of the dictionary inspection processing of electronic dictionary 1 is described with the process flow diagram of Fig. 5 and Fig. 6.

At first, if press national language key 580a, then begin the dictionary retrieval process by the user.If by user inputs character string (step S1: be), then the character string imported by appending of CPU10 is upgraded input of character string 52.Afterwards, from entry form 42a, read, the entry of reading is shown in (step S3) in the display part 30 as the entry substitute with the entry of the pronunciation headed by the input of character string 52 and the entry after this entry.

The processing of repeating step S1-S3, (step S5: not) till from shown entry substitute, selecting arbitrary entry by the user.Therefore, keep from the entry substitute, not selecting entry constant, if input of character string, then by this character string is appended, is updated in the input of character string 52, input of character string 52 is slowly elongated, when importing, all cooperates input of character string 52 to upgrade the frequency of its input, the demonstration of entry substitute at every turn.

CPU10 has selected an entry (step S5: be) as if being judged as, and then reads from descriptive information form 42b corresponding to the descriptive information of selecting entry 56, makes it to be shown in (step S7) in the display part 30.

Afterwards, CPU10 is detecting under the situation that pronunciation kana key 560a has been pressed (step S9: be), carry out the 1st pronunciation assumed name display process (step S11), detecting under the situation that transfer key 560b has been pressed (step S9 → S13: be), carry out transfer processing, finish the dictionary retrieval process.In addition, do not pressing (step S9 → S13: deny) under the situation of any button, former state finishes the dictionary retrieval process.

Here, transfer processing (forwarding function) illustrates in background technology, because be known technology, so omit its detailed description, carries out simple declaration below.That is, move the cursor that is shown in the display part 30 by the user, if determine that key 500 is pressed, then CPU10 extracts the character of the position of cursor.In addition, show that dictionary selects picture W104,, then from the entry form of selecteed dictionary DB, read, have a guide look of demonstration as the entry substitute with the statement headed by the character that extracts or with the entry of the pronunciation headed by the character that extracts if select dictionary DB.Afterwards, if from the entry substitute that guide look shows, select an entry, then show and the corresponding descriptive information of this selecteed entry.

Below, the concrete action of the 1st pronunciation assumed name display process is described.CPU10 is the 1st pronunciation assumed name display process Once you begin, then at first after being shown in cursor (for example cursor CS of Fig. 8 A) in the display part 30, judges whether cursor key 520 is operated (step S100).((step S100 → S102: be), CPU10 finish the 1st pronunciation assumed name display process, carry out the processing corresponding to operated key under the situation that other key has been operated being judged as that cursor key 520 is not operated.

CPU10 operates moving cursor being judged as under the situation that cursor key 520 has been operated (step S100: be) corresponding to this.Afterwards, if not the display position of the cursor that moves (below be called ' cursor position '.) for the most descending, and then then descriptive information is shown in the display part 30, after the delegation that then descriptive information scrolled up, and update displayed (step S104).

Then, CPU10 judges whether the character of cursor position is Chinese character (step S106).Be judged as (step S106: not) under the situation that is not Chinese character, move to the processing of step S100, being judged as is under the situation of Chinese character (step S106: be), then extract the Chinese character of cursor position, be connected on the Chinese character of this Chinese character back continuously, be stored in (step S108) among the RAM50 as extracting character string 54.

CPU10 is from the beginning of entry form 42a, and retrieval comprises and the entry (step S110) that extracts character string 54 on all four statements.Retrieving (step S112: be) under the situation of corresponding entries, near cursor (for example shown in Fig. 8 A, below cursor CS), show among the entry retrieve, be stored in the pronunciation (pronunciation assumed name) (step S118) that comprises in the initial entry among the entry form 42a.

On the other hand, do not retrieving (step S112: deny) under the situation of corresponding entries, last character (character of end side) (step S114) that extracts character string 54 of CPU10 deletion.Afterwards, judge whether not delete to eliminate to extract character string 54 or character (step S116), (step S116 under situation about being judged as are not arranged by this; Be), move to the processing of step S110, carry out the retrieval that comprises with the entry that extracts character string 54 on all four statements once more.In other words, from beginning to delete word by word the character string that extracts character string 54 at last, up to be stored in entry form 42a in the statement of entry consistent till.Therefore, to be stored among the entry form 42a statement with by the character string the longest consistent character string in the descriptive information headed by the Chinese character of user's appointment, show near the pronunciation that is shown in the cursor.

In addition, in step S116, be not to extract character string 54 (step S116: deny) if be judged as, then CPU10 moves to the processing of step S100.That is, be not stored under the situation among the entry form 42a (for example appointed character is under the situation of special Chinese character) being judged as the entry that the Chinese character by user's appointment is made as statement, do not carry out the demonstration of pronunciation, move to step S100.

In step S118, after near the demonstration pronunciation cursor, CPU10 judges whether to supress definite key 500 (step S120) by the user, (step S120: not), processing is moved to step S100 under situation about not pressing.

Determine to show the guide look of entry substitute under the situation that key 500 has been pressed (step S120: be) being judged as.Particularly, be following processing.At first, from entry form 42a, retrieve the entry (step S124) that all comprises with extraction character string 54 on all four statements.Afterwards,, then entry statement and the pronunciation separately that retrieves substituted as entry, be shown in (step S128) in the display part 30 if corresponding entries (step S126: be) is arranged.

After the processing of step S128, or be judged as in step S126 under the situation that does not have corresponding entries that (step S126: not), last character one word (step S130) of character string 54 is extracted in the CPU10 deletion.Afterwards, judge and extract in the character string 54 whether character (step S132) is arranged, under situation about being judged as (step S132: be), move to the processing of step S124, carry out the retrieval that comprises with the entry that extracts character string 54 on all four statements once more.

In step S132, extract (step S132: not) under the situation that does not have character in the character string 54 being judged as, the beginning entry that CPU10 substitutes the entry that is shown among the step S128 in the display part 30 is made as the state by selections such as counter-rotating demonstration M, and from descriptive information form 42b, read and the corresponding descriptive information of this selecteed entry, in display part 30, show (for example descriptive information CT1 of Figure 11) (step S134) with little picture preview.

Afterwards, operated cursor key 520 (step S136: be) by the user, then moved to the processing of step S134, used with the corresponding descriptive information of selecteed entry upgrades the preview demonstration by this operation if detect.In addition, determine under the situation that key 500 has been pressed (step S138: be) being judged as, with selecteed entry as selecting entry 56, from descriptive information form 42b, read and select entry 56 corresponding descriptive informations and be shown in back (step S140) in the display part 30, finish the 1st pronunciation assumed name display process.

Below, with Fig. 7-11 illustrate the user the concrete operations example, with follow the transition stage of the display frame of this operation.

At first, the user is if press national language key 580a, then national language dictionary picture W1 such as displayed map 7A in display part 30.Afterwards, and if input in pronunciation input area AR ' To ほん ', then shown in Fig. 7 B, will be so that ' guide look of the entry headed by the To ほん ' shows as entry substitute LST1 and (is equivalent to the step S1 of Fig. 5 → S3).

The user moves counter-rotating by cursor key 520 and shows M, selects ' To ほん [Japan] ', presses when determining key 500, then shown in Fig. 8 A, shows that the descriptive information of ' To ほん [Japan] ' (is equivalent to the step S5 of Fig. 5 → S7).

Afterwards, if press pronunciation kana key 560a, then at ' To ' display highlighting CS of ' To ほん [Japan] ' (omitting diagram).

The user comes moving cursor CS by cursor key 520, if shown in Fig. 8 A, specify ' day ' of ' Japan ', and near then demonstration cursor CS ' pronunciation assumed name KN1 such as To っぽん '.

At this moment, extract the Chinese characters such as ' days ' of cursor position by CPU10, and then, extracting the Chinese character ' basis ' be connected on this ' day ' back continuously, the result is stored in ' Japan ' among the RAM50 as extraction character string 54 and (is equivalent to step S100 → S104 → S106 of Fig. 6 → S108).

In addition, from the beginning of entry form 42a, retrieval comprises the entry that extracts ' Japan ' on all four statement of character string 54 with conduct.Among Fig. 3, with the pronunciation of ' Japan ' on all four entry ' To っぽん ' and ' To ほん ', but owing to the beginning retrieval of the entry form 42a that arranges from the pronunciation of pressing the 50 sound picture order, so retrieval comprises the pronunciation ' entry of To っぽん ' and statement ' Japan '.Therefore, shown in Fig. 8 A, specified by cursor CS under the situation of ' day ', ' pronunciation assumed name KN1 such as To っぽん ' (is equivalent to step S110 → S112 of Fig. 6 → S118) as the pronunciation of the statement that comprises ' day ' ' Japan ' in demonstration.

Then, shown in Fig. 8 B, as if ' state ' that specify ' ゎ Ga state ' by cursor CS, near then demonstration cursor CS pronunciation assumed name KN3 such as ' く To '.At this moment, the character that is connected on ' state ' back of appointment is ' ' such hiragana.Therefore, by the Chinese character that CPU10 only extracts ' state ', store as extracting character string 54.Afterwards, in the entry form 42a of Fig. 3,, be pronunciation assumed name KN3 so show this pronunciation because the pronunciation that comprises with the entry of ' state ' on all four statement is ' く To '.Therefore, be under the situation of Chinese character by user's data designated only, just suitably show the pronunciation of this Chinese character a plurality of Chinese characters afterwards.In addition, read this pronunciation data from the dictionary storage unit that is used for explicit declaration information, needn't be for the demonstration of pronunciation supplemental data.

Then, the user specifies ' ' (omitting diagram) with the Right Arrow of cursor key 520, but because the character of appointment this moment is a hiragana, so do not show the pronunciation assumed name.In addition, if shown in Fig. 8 C, specify ' state ' of ' title of a reigning dynasty ', then show ' pronunciation assumed name KN5 such as こくごぅ '.At this moment, be ' number ' because be connected on ' state ' Chinese character afterwards, so extract ' title of a reigning dynasty ', store as extracting character string 54 by CPU10.Afterwards, in entry form 42a, ' こくごぅ ', KN5 shows as the pronunciation assumed name to read pronunciation with ' title of a reigning dynasty ' on all four statement.Equally, shown in Fig. 9 A,, then show ' pronunciation assumed name KN7 such as ごぅ ' if specify ' number ' of ' title of a reigning dynasty '.

In addition, if when the user specifies ' god ' of ' divine and mighty Mikado's foundation ' with cursor CS shown in Fig. 9 B, demonstration ' the such pronunciation assumed name KN9 of じんむてんぅ '.At this moment, at first extract appointment Chinese characters such as ' god ', with the Chinese character Chinese characters such as ' divine and mighty Mikado's foundation ' that is connected on continuously after this Chinese character, ' divine and mighty Mikado's foundation ' stored as extraction character string 54 (be equivalent to step S100 → S106 of Fig. 6 → S108).

Afterwards, comprise the entry of ' divine and mighty Mikado's foundation ' such statement from entry form 42a retrieval, but among Fig. 3, ' divine and mighty Mikado's foundation ' is not stored among the entry form 42a.Therefore, extract the last character (' state ') of character string 54, extract character string 54 and become ' divine and mighty Mikado builds ' and (be equivalent to the step S112 of Fig. 6 → S114) by CPU10 deletion.

Also be not stored among the entry form 42a as entry of statement owing to comprise this ' divine and mighty Mikado builds ', so also the last character (' building ') of character string 54 is extracted in deletion, extraction character string 54 becomes ' divine and mighty Mikado '.Be stored among the entry form 42a of Fig. 3 owing to comprising this ' divine and mighty Mikado ' entry as statement, so retrieve by CPU10 and to comprise the pronunciation ' entry of じんむてんぅ ' and statement ' divine and mighty Mikado ', as a result, show that ' pronunciation assumed name KN9 such as じんむてんぅ ' (is equivalent to step S116 → S110 → S112 of Fig. 6 → S118).

The pronunciation assumed name that shows is the pronunciation that is stored in the entry of the statement among the entry form 42a.Therefore, also can know the what is called ' entry of the pronunciation of じんむてんぅ ' that is logged among the national language dictionary DB42 in being built in electronic dictionary 1 by specifying the pronunciation assumed name KN9 that is shown after ' god '.

If user's moving cursor CS specifies ' present territory shown in Figure 10 A ... ' ' showing ', then show ' the pronunciation assumed name KN11 that げんざぃ ' is such.In addition, be moved further cursor CS, in the national language dictionary picture W15 of Figure 10 A, if moving cursor CS is to interior ' greatly ' of final row, the delegation's descriptive information that then rolls is shown in Figure 10 B, update displayed (is equivalent to the step S100 of Fig. 6 → S104), and, on the row that shows again, showing ' pronunciation assumed name KN11 such as ぃりく ' by this rolling.

In addition, shown in Figure 11 A, ' divine and mighty Mikado founds the state if the user specifies ... ' ' my god ', then show ' the pronunciation assumed name KN13 that The めらぎ ' is such.' the such pronunciation assumed name KN13 of The ぁらぎ ' is not under the situation of pronunciation of expectation to the user, determines key 500 if press, and then shows the entry substitute LST3 shown in Figure 11 B in national language dictionary picture W21 in this what is called.Afterwards, will by counter-rotating show that M selects ' The めらぎ ' Mikado " descriptive information CT1 preview be shown in the below of national language dictionary picture W21.

Like this, show that not only ' The めらぎ ' also can show its descriptive information by preview for the pronunciation assumed name of appointment ' Mikado '.

At this moment, extract appointed ' my god ', be connected on ' day ' Chinese character ' emperor's foundation ' afterwards continuously, ' Mikado's foundation ' stored as extraction character string 54.Afterwards, the last character of character string 54 is extracted in deletion, until becoming and the on all four statement of statement that is stored among the entry form 42a, extracts character string 54 thus and becomes ' Mikado '.When the user presses when determining key 500, at first utilize CPU10 retrieval to comprise entry with ' Mikado ' on all four statement, whole entries of being retrieved are shown as entry substitute LST3-1 (be equivalent to step S120 → S124 → S126 of Fig. 6 → S128).

Afterwards, utilize CPU10 deletion ' emperor ' as the last character that extracts character string 54, retrieval comprises the entry with ' day ' on all four statement, these whole entries that are retrieved (entry substitute LST3-2) is appended be shown in entry and substitute among the LST3.According to former electronic dictionary, in order to investigate the pronunciation of the Chinese character in the descriptive information, specify this Chinese character, and after the operation of carrying out the dictionary DB that selects transfer destination ground, entry guide look shown in the displayed map 11B, and in the 1st embodiment, can not carry out the operatively demonstration entry substitute of selecting dictionary DB.

Then, become selected entry substitute LST100 beginning ' The めらぎ ' Mikado " state after; read from descriptive information form 42b that ' the corresponding descriptive information of entry of The ぁらぎ ' and statement ' Mikado ' is previewed demonstration (the step S134 that is equivalent to Fig. 6) with comprising pronunciation.Thus, the user utilizes cursor key 520 to move counter-rotating demonstration M, cooperates with the entry of choosing and upgrades the preview demonstration, can easily investigate the entry with expectation implication thus.

In addition, when operation cursor key 52, select ' The ぁらぎ ' Mikado " after, press when determining key 500, shown in Figure 21 (d), show ' The めらぎ ' Mikado " descriptive information.Thus, the user partly shows the descriptive information that is not shown in preview shows, can investigate the detailed meanings of entry.In addition, determine key 500, select, determine entry, but for example also can select, determine entry by pressing and the entry corresponding character entry key 540 of incidental crucial number KY (for example " A " or " B ") of substituting by pressing.

[the 2nd embodiment]

Below, with Figure 12-16 the 2nd embodiment when the present invention is applicable to electronic dictionary 1 is described.Electronic dictionary 1 in the 2nd embodiment is the formation that the ROM 40 of the 1st embodiment shown in Figure 2 is replaced as ROM 40-1.In addition, to the additional same-sign of the inscape identical, omit its explanation with the 1st embodiment.

Figure 12 is the block diagram that the data of expression ROM 40-1 constitute.As shown in the figure, ROM 40-1 storage national language dictionary DB42 and the dictionary search program 44-1 that comprises the 2nd pronunciation assumed name display routine 44c and branching program 44b.

In the 2nd embodiment, CPU10 is the same with the 1st embodiment, extraction by 1 character of the Chinese character in the descriptive information of user's appointment, with the Chinese character that is connected on continuously after this Chinese character, store as extracting character string 54, but in addition, at the character by user's appointment is under the situation of kana character, extracts specified kana character 1 character and is connected on this kana character kana character afterwards continuously, stores as extracting character string 54.Therefore, as extracting the character that character string 54 is stored, only become statement that constitutes by the Chinese character among the statement that shows in the descriptive information or the statement that only constitutes by kana character.In addition, CPU10 after being transformed into hiragana, being stored in and extracting in the character string 54 under the situation that has extracted katakana.

Dictionary search program 44-1 is the program that realizes that dictionary retrieval process that the 2nd embodiment relates to is used.In addition, the dictionary retrieval process of the 2nd embodiment is that the 1st pronunciation assumed name display process with the step S11 of the dictionary retrieval process of Fig. 5 is replaced as the processing of the 2nd pronunciation display process, so omit the explanation of other same treatment step.

The 2nd pronunciation assumed name display routine 44c is the program that is used to realize the 2nd pronunciation assumed name display process.Figure 13 is the process flow diagram of the concrete action usefulness of explanation the 2nd pronunciation assumed name display process.Among the figure, in the processing identical with the treatment step of the 1st pronunciation assumed name display process shown in Figure 6, with the step number of Fig. 6 step number (step S100-S116 is equivalent to step S200-S216) as No. 200, below suitably omit its explanation.

According to this figure, CPU10 begins the 2nd pronunciation assumed name display process, at first if operation cursor key 520 is detected, judges then whether the character of cursor position is Chinese character.If the character of cursor position is a Chinese character, then extract the Chinese character of cursor position and be connected on Chinese character after this Chinese character continuously, be stored among the RAM50 (step S200 → S206 → S208) as extracting character string 54.

Afterwards, comprise and the entry that extracts character string 54 on all four statements from entry form 42a retrieval, if corresponding entries is arranged, then show little picture, this entry all as entry substitute, is shown in (the step S210 → S212 → S250) of (for example preview display frame PW1 of Figure 14) in the little picture.At this moment, show to the additional crucial number (for example being additional to numeral or character on the character entry key 540) of each entry substitute back.

In addition, in step S212, be judged as under the situation that does not have corresponding entries, last character one word (character of end side) of character string 54 is extracted in deletion, if extract in the character string 54 character arranged, then move to the processing of step S210, carry out once more with as the retrieval of the extraction character string 54 on all four entries of character string substitute (step S212 → S214 → S216).

On the other hand, in step S206, not under the situation of Chinese character that (step S206: not), CPU10 extracts the kana character of cursor position and is connected on kana character after this kana character continuously, stores (step S252) as extracting character string 54 at the character that is judged as cursor position.

CPU10 comprises and the entry (step S254) that extracts character string 54 on all four pronunciations from entry form 42a retrieval, has judged whether corresponding entries (step S256).Be judged as (step S256: be) under the situation of corresponding entries, to the additional crucial number of the entry that retrieves, preview is shown in (step S258) in the display part 30 as the entry substitute.

In addition, (step S256: not), a word (step S260) of the last character of character string 54 is extracted in deletion, and the processing of repeating step S254-S258 is until not extracting character string 54 (step S256: be) when being judged as under the situation that does not have corresponding entries.Therefore, be under the situation of kana character at the character of cursor position, demonstration is with this kana character and be made as statement among the statement of pronunciation, the longest at the kana character of continued access after this kana character, substitutes as entry.

In the processing of execution in step S254-S258 and after do not have character in extracting character string 54 till, CPU10 judges whether to press and shows the shown corresponding character entry key 540 of crucial number (step S264) by preview.Be judged as (step S264: not), processing is moved to step S200 under the situation about not being pressed.In addition, be judged as (step S264: be) under the situation about being pressed, selection is corresponding to the entry of crucial number, and reads corresponding to the descriptive information of this entry from descriptive information form 42b and after being shown in the display part 30 (step S266), finish the 2nd pronunciation assumed name display process.

Below, with Figure 14-16 illustrate the user the concrete operations example, with follow the transition stage of the display frame of this operation.

At first, by with the 1st embodiment in the same operation of operational example that illustrates, show ' To ほん ' Japan " descriptive information.Afterwards, if press pronunciation kana key 560a, then ' To ほん ' Japan " ' To ' go up display highlighting CS, in addition, part shows the preview display frame PW1 (Figure 14 A) as little picture below national language dictionary picture W23.This preview display frame PW1 has the viewing area of 3 row, show ' two of To ほん ' ", ' To ほん ' two product ", ' To ほん ' Japan " such entry substitute LST5.

At this moment, extract the character of selecting by cursor CS ' To ' by CPU10 and be connected on this ' To ' afterwards kana character ' ほん ', as extraction character string 54 (' To ほん ' continuously) store and (be equivalent to the step S206 of Figure 13 → S252).Afterwards, retrieval comprises and ' the entry of the on all four pronunciation of To ほん ' that extracts character string 54 from entry form 42a.In the entry form 42a of Fig. 3, the entry that comprises on all four pronunciation is ' two of statements ', 3 entries of statement ' two product ' and statement ' Japan ', so retrieve these entries, as entry substitute (' two of To ほん ' ", ' To ほん ' two product ", ' To ほん ' Japan " pronunciation and statement (entry)) LST5-1 is shown in and previews among the display frame PW1 and (be equivalent to step S254 → S256 of Figure 13 → S258).

Afterwards, if last character (' the ん ') word of character string 54 is extracted in deletion, then extract character string 54 and become ' To ほ '.Because comprise with ' entry of the on all four pronunciation of To ほ ' is not stored among the entry form 42a, extracts the last character (' ほ ') of character string 54 and (is equivalent to the step S256 of Figure 13 → S260) so deleted by CPU10 again.At this moment, extract character string 54 and become ' To ', retrieval comprises the entry with ' To ' on all four pronunciation, as entry substitute LST5-2.But, because entry substitute LST5-1 is 3 row, preview display frame PW1 is the zone of 3 row, so entry substitute LST5-2 is not shown among the preview display frame PW1, but by carrying out predetermined operation (for example after pressing pronunciation kana key 560a once more, press the operation of cursor key 520), but roll display entry substitute.

Afterwards,, then do not extract the character of character string 54, become to press and (be equivalent to the step S262 of Figure 13 → S264) with the holding state of crucial number corresponding characters enter key 540 if a word of the last character (' To ') of character string 54 is extracted in deletion once more.

As shown in Figure 14B, operation cursor key 520 is if move to ' the title of a reigning dynasty with cursor CS.' ' state ', then upgrade the demonstration of preview display frame PW3, show entry substitute LST7.At this moment, extracted ' state ' of appointment and be connected on thereafter Chinese character ' number ' continuously by CPU10, retrieval comprises the entry with ' title of a reigning dynasty ' on all four statement from entry form 42a, and the result shows entry substitute LST7-1.In addition, the last character of character string 54 (' number ') word is extracted in deletion, and retrieval comprises and the entry that extracts the on all four statement of character string 54 (' state ') from entry form 42a, and the result shows that entry substitute LST7-2 (is equivalent to step S206 → S208 → S212 of Figure 13 → S250).

Then, shown in Figure 15 A,, then upgrade the demonstration of preview display frame PW5, show entry substitute LST9-1 if cursor CS is moved to ' god ' of ' divine and mighty Mikado's foundation '.Processing before showing the entry substitute is owing to the same with the entry substitute processing before of above-mentioned demonstration ' title of a reigning dynasty ', so omit.The user knows that by with reference to entry substitute LST9-1 ' divine and mighty Mikado ' is ' the such pronunciation of じんむてんぅ '.In addition, also ' divine and mighty Mikado's foundation ' or ' divine and mighty Mikado builds ' such statement are not logined in national language dictionary DB42 as can be known.

Shown in Figure 15 B, if cursor CS moved to ' day ' of ' divine and mighty Mikado's foundations ', then upgrade the demonstration of preview display frame PW7, the demonstration entry LST11 that substitutes.In addition, shown in Figure 16 A, ' ' ぉ ' of ぉほゃまと ' then shows entry substitute LST13 if cursor CS is moved to.By this demonstration, the user knows that ' statement such as ぉほゃまと ' is logined in national language dictionary DB42, so also can investigate other content (for example archaism dictionary) etc. thus.

[the 3rd embodiment]

Below, with Figure 17-19 the 3rd embodiment when the present invention is applicable to electronic dictionary 1 is described.Electronic dictionary 1 in the 3rd embodiment is the formation that the ROM 40 of the 1st embodiment shown in Figure 2 is replaced as ROM 40-2.In addition, to the additional same-sign of the inscape identical, omit its explanation with the 1st embodiment.

Figure 17 is the block diagram that the data of expression ROM 40-2 constitute.As shown in figure 17, ROM 40-2 storage national language dictionary DB42, with the dictionary search program 44-2 that comprises the 3rd pronunciation assumed name display routine 44d and branching program 44b.

Dictionary search program 44-2 is the program that realizes that dictionary retrieval process that the 3rd embodiment relates to is used.In addition, the dictionary retrieval process of the 3rd embodiment is the same with the dictionary retrieval process of the 1st embodiment of Fig. 5, is that the 1st pronunciation assumed name display process with step S11 is replaced as the processing of the 3rd pronunciation display process, so omit the explanation of other same treatment step.

The 3rd pronunciation assumed name display routine 44d is the program that is used to realize the 3rd pronunciation assumed name display process.CPU10 begins the 3rd pronunciation assumed name display process read the 3rd pronunciation assumed name display routine 44d from ROM44-2 after.

Below, the concrete action of the 3rd pronunciation assumed name display process of electronic dictionary 1 is described with the process flow diagram of Figure 18.

If CPU10 is beginning the 3rd pronunciation assumed name display process, then vacates at first in every line to show as pronunciation that between-line spacing (for example between-line spacing SP of Figure 19 B) with the space enters a new line and be presented at the descriptive information (step S300) of demonstration in the display part 30.Afterwards, from the beginning sequential search Chinese character (step S302) of shown descriptive information.

CPU10 extracts the Chinese character that retrieves and is connected on this Chinese character Chinese character afterwards continuously, as extracting character string 54, after being stored among the RAM50 (step S304), retrieval comprises and the entry (step S306) that extracts character string 54 on all four statements from the beginning of entry form 42a, has judged whether corresponding entries (step S308).

Be judged as (step S308: be) under the situation of corresponding entries, the pronunciation that the pronunciation that is contained in the entry that retrieves is shown under the extraction character string 54 in the descriptive information shows with the space, is (step S314) in the null.In addition, (step S308: not), last character one word (character of end side) (step S310) of character string 54 is extracted in deletion being judged as under the situation that does not have corresponding entries.Afterwards, also have in the extraction character string 54 after this deletion under the situation of character (step S312: be), move to the processing of step S306, carry out the retrieval that comprises with the entry that extracts character string 54 on all four statements once more.By this a series of processing, realize as the character string identical and be the retrieval of the longest character string with the statement of entry form 42a.

After the processing of step S314, or in step S312, be judged as and extract (step S312: not) under the situation that does not have character in the character string 54, CPU10 judges whether extraction character string 54 is Chinese characters (step S316) last among shown descriptive information, if not last Chinese character, then from descriptive information, retrieve next Chinese character (step S318) that extracts character string 54, move to the processing of step S304.In addition, under being judged as the last situation that extraction character string 54 is the statements in the descriptive information (step S318: be), then former state finishes the 3rd pronunciation assumed name display process.

Below, with Figure 19 illustrate the user the concrete operations example, with follow the transition stage of the display frame of this operation.

At this moment, begin Chinese character retrieval from the beginning of descriptive information, ' state ' of retrieval ' わ Ga state ' by CPU10.Owing to be not connected on this ' state ' Chinese character afterwards, become ' state ' (the step S302-S304 that is equivalent to Figure 18) so extract character string 54.Afterwards, retrieval comprises and entry that should ' state ' on all four statement, and the result shows that in space S P part ' く To ' such pronunciation assumed name KN15 (is equivalent to the step S306-S308 of Figure 18 → S314).

In addition, if retrieval is as next Chinese character of ' state ' that extract character string 54 from descriptive information, then retrieve and extract ' state ' of ' title of a reigning dynasty '.In addition, be ' number ' because be connected on this ' state ' Chinese character afterwards continuously, so also extract ' number ', extract character string 54 and become ' title of a reigning dynasty '.In addition, retrieval comprises the entry with ' title of a reigning dynasty ' on all four statement, and the result shows ' pronunciation assumed name KN17 such as こくごぅ ' in null SP part.

At this constantly, owing to extracting character string 54 is ' title of a reigning dynasty ', so then retrieve ' title of a reigning dynasty ' ' god ' afterwards, extracts and is somebody's turn to do ' god ' and ' military Mikado founds the state ' that be connected on ' god ' Chinese character afterwards continuously, as extracting character string 54, carry out the same pronunciation retrieval once more.As illustrating in the 1st embodiment, because statements such as ' divine and mighty Mikado's foundations ' is not stored among the entry form 42a, so delete the last character that extracts character string 54 word by word by CPU10, when becoming ' divine and mighty Mikado ', retrieval comprises the result with the entry of ' divine and mighty Mikado ' on all four statement, shows ' pronunciation assumed name KN19 such as じんむてんぅ '.

Like this, begin Chinese character retrieval, from entry form 42a, read, be shown in the null by Chinese character that retrieves and the pronunciation that is connected on the statement that Chinese character constituted after this Chinese character continuously from the beginning of descriptive information.

In addition, though ' divine and mighty Mikado ground of founding the state ... pronunciation assumed name KN21 ' ' ' becomes ' じ ', but in order to begin retrieval and ' ' consistent statement, demonstration ' じ ', but not ' Chi ' from the beginning by the tactic entry form of 50 sound picture 42a.In this case, for example retrieval and reading all comprises and the entry that extracts character string 54 on all four statements from entry form 42a, and guide look shows the pronunciation of the entry that this has been read.Thus, ' ' shown ' じ ', ' Chi ', ' っ ' and ' っ Chi ' such pronunciation assumed name, the user can therefrom discern suitable pronunciation.

More than, according to the 3rd embodiment, empty 1 row shows the between-line spacing of shown descriptive information, begins Chinese character retrieval from the beginning of this descriptive information.In addition, extract and memory scan to Chinese character and be connected on Chinese character after this Chinese character continuously, as extracting character string 54, and from entry form 42a, retrieve the entry that comprises with these extraction character string 54 on all four statements, the pronunciation of the entry that retrieves is shown in the null that extracts under the character string 54.Thus, the user is only by pressing simple operations such as pronunciation kana key 560a, but the pronunciation assumed name of the Chinese character in the explicit declaration information just.

In addition, in the 3rd embodiment, under the situation of pressing pronunciation kana key 560a, show the pronunciation assumed name of the Chinese character in the descriptive information in all showing, but also can be as follows.Promptly, under the situation of pressing pronunciation kana key 560a, after the between-line spacing and update displayed of empty 1 row descriptive information, specify under the situation of the Chinese character in the descriptive information the user, by with the same method of above-mentioned the 1st embodiment, read the pronunciation of the character string that comprises this Chinese character, between-line spacing under appointed Chinese character shows the pronunciation of having read.
