English-Chinese more electronic dictionary

1, technical field

It is core with the microprocessor that English-Chinese more electronic dictionary (hereinafter to be referred as dictionary) is one, comprise that hardware such as LCD, storer, keyboard, casing and softwares such as primary control program, subroutine and data combine, realize Chinese, Vietnam is civilian and the entry commonly used of English three kinds of literal identical meanings and electronic product that phrase is translated mutually.

Dictionary is again the electronic product of a literate intension, it be one collected surplus in the of 100,000 in, more, the entry commonly used of three kinds of literal identical meanings of English and the electronic dictionary of phrase.Chinese entry can be translated as identical meanings Vietnam literary composition or English entry exactly; Or Vietnam's cliction bar is translated as identical meanings Chinese or English entry, also English entry can be translated as Chinese or Vietnam's cliction bar of identical meanings.

Dictionary also has the notepad function, available China and British, more, recording phone number and brief information such as numeral and symbol.

Dictionary also has calculator function.

2, background technology

At present domestic have a hundreds of kind electronic dictionary, and languages mainly are English and a spot of Japanese, German, Spanish, yet there are no more, safe, remote, Malay ... Deng ASEAN countries' rare foreign languages.A common feature of present domestic electronic dictionary mainly is the demand that satisfies Chinese's foreign language studying.And our dictionary not only is satisfied with the requirement that Chinese learn Vietnam's literary composition, English, more considers the needs that the foreigner learns Chinese.

We investigate home market and Vietnam market (Ha Noi, Ho Chi Minh City and Lao Jie), find that Vietnam's literary composition and the electronic dictionary of Chinese intertranslation are a blank at home, not only do not have middle more electronic dictionary in Vietnam, Vietnam's literary composition does not have as getting over the English electronic dictionary with the electronic dictionary of other national literal intertranslation yet.We also recognize many middle and primary schools of Vietnam country, Chinese and English course as foreign language learning.So, we since the second half year in 2005 development of middle more electronic dictionary.The software that is mounted in similar Kingsoft Powerword on the computing machine of our exploitation and has born first fruit at first.But, feeling this mode afterwards in many instances, the user uses very inconvenient, and market plane is narrow, easily by piracy, so, just turned to " electronic dictionary more " of developing hand held from 2006.

Through effort more than a year, finished the exploitation of " the middle more electronic dictionary " of hand held basically, declared patent of invention on January 31st, 2007, its application number of accepting on the L. A. is: 200710065647.2.And carried out revisal April 6 and May 25.

In " middle more electronic dictionary " process of exploitation hand held, mainly solved following problem:

1, " middle more electronic dictionary " realized the intertranslation of Chinese and two kinds of literal identical meanings everyday words of Vietnam's literary composition.This is one is core with the microprocessor, and LCD, storer, keyboard, casing, etc. hardware, the special purpose computer in conjunction with softwares such as primary control program, subroutine and data are formed simultaneously, also has counter and notepad function.

2, developed the dot-matrix font software of Vietnam's literary composition, English, Chinese, numeral and symbol.Vietnam's literary composition has 33 letters, and wherein 26 letters are identical with English alphabet, and other 7 letters have 12 vowels with English different in Vietnam's literary composition, and each vowel has 6 kinds of tones, except that even tone, also has 5 circumflexs.We have designed 74 of Vietnam's Chinese character of 8*16 dot matrix, wherein, comprise with the upper case and lower case of English different 7 letters and have 12 vowel characters of 5 kinds of circumflexs.We the 16*16 dot matrix Chinese character in the national I and II Chinese character table of State Bureau of Standardization's formulation and the ASC II code character of 8*16 dot matrix, through our routine processes, are converted to the dot character that can normally show again on LCD display.And characters such as these Chinese, Vietnam's literary composition, English, be made in the software, and Unified coding again, they are not conflicted mutually, become the software that can normally use.8179 of the dot characters of the total 16*16 of this software, 179 of the dot characters of 8*16.This Zemo has been declared patent of invention on April 9th, 2007, and its application number of accepting on the L. A. is: 200710065790.1.

3, the Vietnam of " middle more electronic dictionary " literary composition input method does not adopt computing machine Vietnam's literary composition input method commonly used.The user is to the input of Vietnam's literary composition for convenience, and dictionary is by the matrix coder of keyboard, for each Vietnam's letter all is provided with a button, 5 circumflexs are also respectively established a button, when the user operates, input mode must be do not switched, Vietnam's literary composition, English, numeral and symbol can be directly imported.

4, " middle more electronic dictionary " is provided with two kinds of Chinese character coding input methods, i.e. phonetic method and stroke method.For the foreigner (Vietnamese) is learned Chinese more easily, when being translated as Chinese by Vietnam's literary composition, or translator of Chinese is Vietnam's when literary composition, and dictionary is Chinese display phonetic automatically, has made things convenient for foreigner's pronunciation.

5, present, dictionary got in Yue Han, the Chinese of domestic distribution, and year of publication is more remote, and many vocabulary seldom use, simultaneously, because the progress of society and science has increased many new vocabulary again, so " middle more electronic dictionary " is the dictionary content of new writing.

6, take palm direct handling type profile, increased reliability of products.

3, summary of the invention

" English-Chinese more electronic dictionary " is to develop on the basis of " middle more electronic dictionary ".Two kinds of literal intertranslation " middle more electronic dictionary " are upgraded to the intertranslation that " English-Chinese more electronic dictionary " is embodied as three kinds of literal.Mainly solve following 3 problems for this reason.

3.1 the upgrading of software, hardware

" English-Chinese more electronic dictionary " all is to be core with the microprocessor with " middle more electronic dictionary ", and by primary control program, subroutine, storer, keyboard and LCD are managed, import a kind of entry of literal when keyboard after, dictionary just accesses the entry that other plants the literal identical meanings from storer, shown by display.

Two kinds of electronic dictionaries are compared, though its hardware also mainly is made up of major parts such as control chip, storer, LCD, keyboards.But because " English-Chinese more electronic dictionary " program is complicated more, data volume is bigger, so, require the function of control chip more powerful, the memory space of storer is bigger, and display can show more information, so, require the hardware of English-Chinese more dictionary to upgrade.

Be the connection between the hardware as shown in Figure 1: single-chip microcomputer 1. stored the primary control program and the subroutine of dictionary, parts such as LCD, storer, keyboard are managed.Its one group of I/O mouth links to each other by the parallel port with 2. Flash storer with 4. 128*96 dot matrix LCD LCD, uses programmed control, is given an order by control line, and timesharing is used.Switch matrix---keyboard is (the highest 64 keys that are provided with, dictionary is provided with 56 keys altogether) 4. for other 2 groups of I/O mouths of single-chip microcomputer and button composition.Because the program storage memory space in the single-chip microcomputer is less, the procedure quantity of dictionary increases, so 5. need increases external program memory.The data volume of dictionary has also increased about 3 times, and the Flash storer also upgrades to 2GB (model is K9F2G08).The LCD LCD also upgrades to the LCD of the dot matrix of 128*96, to show the more information amount.Dictionary also has power switch circuit, display backlight circuit and battery, casing etc. in addition.Control chip, storer, power supply, backlight and key contacts all design at the circuit board of a 50*64 and 8. go up.

The serial ports of single-chip microcomputer (UART) by external interface converter 6. with computing machine 7. the RS232 serial ports be connected, realized by computing machine to dictionary write-in program and data, simultaneously, by the check program that computer-internal is installed, the working condition of check dictionary.

Support above-mentioned hardware, realization is Chinese, Vietnam is civilian and the synon intertranslation commonly used of English three kinds of literal, and dictionary must have the software support of (comprising program and data)." English-Chinese more electronic dictionary " compares with " middle more electronic dictionary ", major different is exactly the difference of software, the program of " English-Chinese more electronic dictionary " is made up of 20 modules altogether, here so-called data, mainly be meant the database that treated different literals is formed, and the data in each program, as more, the coding of character such as China and British and the data of dot array data, Chinese spelling input method and stroke input method etc.

3.2 set up three databases

Why electronic dictionary can realize the intertranslation of different literals, mainly is in storer, and we have set up one the two kinds synon databases of literal.A database only set up in our " middle more electronic dictionary ", promptly middle more database of synonyms.The characteristics of this database are: each Vietnam's cliction bar, only corresponding Chinese entry if Vietnam's cliction bar has a plurality of Chinese lexical or textual analysis, will be handled by many synonym entries.For example:

Vietnam literary composition ba has 4 Chinese lexical or textual analysis, will list 4 synonym entries.As follows:

Numbering	Vietnam's literary composition	The check and correction record revised in Chinese
			B0003	ba	Three
B0004	ba	The 3rd
			B0005	ba	Father
B0006	ba	The bar

Equally, when Chinese has the literary composition lexical or textual analysis of a plurality of Vietnam, also to handle as a plurality of synonym entries.Example sentence or phrase are also as an entry.

And, set up such database, if we substantially by Vietnam literal mother and tone ordering typing, after the typing, also must generate the data that sort by Chinese pinyin by the processing of program automatically.Two data that also will generate female and tone ordering why and sort by Chinese pinyin by Vietnam literal.We have seen the domestic electronic dictionary that has, and they are when being Chinese by translator of English, and speed is very fast.But when by translator of Chinese English, speed is just slow.Reason is exactly that English is clocklike to arrange by translator of English when Chinese, so arithmetic speed is very fast, but when by translator of Chinese when English, Chinese is irregular, so arithmetic speed just slowly.When a database, generated the ordering of two kinds of literal after, though increased memory space, increased the cost of dictionary, improved arithmetic speed, no matter be in turning over more, cross in still, speed is all very fast.

In order to realize the intertranslation of English-Chinese more three state's literal, must set up 3 databases.For " English-Chinese more electronic dictionary ", we also once imagination only set up a database.Promptly find Chinese synonym, find English synonym again from Chinese from Vietnam's literary composition.But when we check whether Vietnam's literary composition also equals English synonym, though find a part of can the establishment, but, because various countries' literal and grammer is different, many English synonyms that find by Chinese, and be not synonym between Vietnam's literary composition, in other words, also have more synonym between Vietnam's literary composition and the English.So,, will produce many mistakes if only set up a database.

For this reason, the intertranslation that realize three kinds of literal must be set up three databases.Each database generates the data of the ordering of two kinds of different literals again by routine processes simultaneously.That is:

1. Vietnam's literary composition and Chinese database.Solve intertranslation between Vietnam's literary composition and the Chinese synonym.This database just utilizes the database of existing middle more electronic dictionary, and by routine processes, generates the data of the ordering of two kinds of different literals pressing Vietnam's letter and tone ordering and Chinese pinyin ordering automatically.When being translated as Chinese by Vietnam's literary composition, just from the data of Vietnam's literary composition ordering, find out Chinese synonym by program, otherwise, when by translator of Chinese being Vietnam's literary composition, just from the data of Chinese Pinyin sorting, find out the synonym of Vietnam's literary composition.

2. English and Chinese database.Solve the intertranslation between English and the Chinese, and, generate the data of the ordering of two kinds of different literals pressing English alphabet ordering and Chinese pinyin ordering automatically by routine processes.When being Chinese by translator of English, just from the data of English alphabet ordering, find out the synonym of Chinese, otherwise, when being English, just from the data of Chinese Pinyin sorting, find out English synonym by translator of Chinese,

3. Vietnam literary composition and English database.Solve the intertranslation between Vietnam's literary composition and the English.And, generate the data of the ordering of two kinds of different literals pressing Vietnam's letter and tone ordering and English alphabet ordering automatically by routine processes.When being translated as English by Vietnam's literary composition, just from the data of Vietnam's literary composition ordering, find out English synonym, otherwise, when by translator of English being Vietnam's literary composition, just from the data of English alphabet ordering, find out the synonym of Vietnam's literary composition,

Owing to three databases all there is the ordering of two kinds of literal, when translating, not necessarily need to import whole letters of a complete words, as turning over more when middle, as long as import 1 letter of Vietnam's literary composition at least, by " Enter " key, just can show the speech that implication is close, by " page turning " key on the dictionary, just can find your needed speech again, the user is very easy to use.Equally, in the middle of when crossing, the entry of Chinese also is by the phonetic alphabet ordering, as long as after the user imports a Chinese words at least, by " Enter " key, just can show the speech that implication is close, again by " page turning " key on the dictionary, just can find your needed speech.

3.3 design new keypress function, realize management to three databases

Realize management, must redesign primary control program, subroutine and match, could realize management it with the design of hardware (keypress function) to three databases.

The first behavioral function key of " English-Chinese more electronic dictionary " keyboard as shown in Figure 2, has wherein designed 3 multiplexing buttons, i.e. " VC ", " EC " and " VE " for " electronic dictionary ".Under the support of software, " VC " is exactly the intertranslation of Vietnam's literary composition and Chinese; " EC " is exactly intertranslation English and Chinese; " VE " is exactly Vietnam's literary composition and English intertranslation.And, each button has two kinds of functions again, press " VC " key, when prompting for " V/C " in display, promptly Vietnam's literary composition is translated as Chinese, behind input Vietnam cliction bar, by " Enter " key, dictionary is the energy follow procedure just, accesses synonym and corresponding Chinese pinyin with Chinese display from more in database Vietnam literary composition sorting data.By " VC " key once, when display prompts becomes " C/V ", i.e. translator of Chinese is Vietnam's literary composition again, and after keyboard was imported Chinese entry, by " Enter " key, dictionary just can be from more accesses and show the synonym entry of Vietnam's literary composition in the Chinese sorting data of database.

By " EC " key, when prompting for " E/C " in display, i.e. translator of English be a Chinese, import English entry after, by " Enter " key, dictionary just can follow procedure, accesses from database and the synonym of Chinese display and Chinese pinyin accordingly.Again by " EC " key, display prompts become " C/E, i.e. translator of Chinese be English, after keyboard was imported Chinese entry, by " Enter " key, dictionary also can access and show the synonym entry of English.

Press " VE " key, when prompting for " V/E " in display, promptly Vietnam's literary composition is translated as English, and behind input Vietnam cliction bar, by " Enter " key, dictionary is the energy follow procedure just, accesses and show the synonym of English from database.Again by " VE " key, display prompts become " E/V, i.e. translator of English is Vietnam's literary composition, after keyboard was imported English entry, by " Enter " key, dictionary also can access and show the synonym entry of Vietnam's literary composition.

When other plants the synonym of literal when nothing in the dictionary database, dictionary will show " not having this speech in the database ".

Dictionary also has calculator function.Also have the notepad function, can use Vietnam's literary composition, English, Chinese, numbers and symbols recording phone number and brief information simultaneously.

Dictionary has also taked to prevent pirate multinomial measure etc.
