FIGS. 5 and 6 are diagrams illustrating examples of the interval character number table 347 and the interval date and time table 350. FIG.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining the processing procedure of the ruby display device in the present embodiment.
First, if there is a key input by the user via the input unit 21 (S1), the data input unit 22 determines whether the key input is a user-specified value input process, a text data input process, or a ruby display. It is determined whether the instruction is a control instruction (S
2).

If the data input unit 22 determines that the key input is an input process of a user-specified value (S2, set value),
The set value is input to the ruby display determination / setting unit 28 by the learning function unit 3
4 in a predetermined area (user-specified single kanji stroke numerical value 342, user-specified kanji kanji stroke numerical value 344, user-specified repeated character count 346, user-specified interval date and time 349, user-specified ruby display count 352 or user-specified display time 354) (S3). If the data input unit 22 determines that the key input is a ruby display control instruction (S2,
Ruby display control), and the process proceeds to step S16.

If the data input unit 22 determines that the key input is text data input processing (S2, character or data input), it performs data input processing, that is, text creation processing, and executes the created text data. To the data storage unit 23
(S5). Then, the target character determination unit 24
The sentence data stored in the data storage unit 23 is subjected to morphological analysis to divide the sentence data into morphemes (hereinafter, simply referred to as words) (S6). It is assumed that character pointers are sequentially attached to the words extracted by the target character determination unit 24 from the first word.

Next, the target character determination unit 24 reads sequentially from the first word of the extracted text data, and determines whether or not it is a character to be displayed as ruby (S7). For example, the target character determination unit 24 determines whether the word extracted by the morphological analysis includes a kanji character or not, as a ruby display target character. When only one kanji is included in the extracted word, the single kanji determination unit 241 determines that the word is a single kanji. In addition, the idiom kanji determination unit 242
If the extracted word includes a plurality of kanji, the kanji is determined to be a kanji kanji.

If the target character determining unit 24 determines that the extracted word is not a ruby display target character (S7,
Character pointer), increment the character pointer (S
8) It is determined whether the next word is a ruby display target character. If the target word determining unit 24 determines that the extracted word is a ruby display target character (S
(7, target characters), the search unit 26 searches the dictionary data storage unit 25 to extract the meaning content, ruby, stroke count, and difficulty level of the ruby display target character (S9), and stores the extracted various data. (S10).

Next, the ruby display determination / setting unit 28 determines whether or not to perform ruby display of the character determined to be a ruby display target character in step S7 (S11). When the ruby display determination / setting unit 28 determines that the ruby display target character is not to be displayed in ruby (S11, non-display), the process proceeds to step S14. When it is determined that ruby display of a ruby display target character is performed (S11, display), the ruby display determination / setting unit 28 performs ruby display history processing (S12) and sets ruby display (S1).
3). The ruby display determination (S11), the ruby display history processing (S12), and the ruby display setting processing (S13) are different depending on various ruby display determination methods, and thus will be described in detail later.

In step S14, the target character determination unit 24 determines whether or not all words in the document data have been determined to be ruby display target characters. The target character determination unit 24 determines that there is a word for which it has not been determined whether or not the character is a ruby display target character (S1).
(4, No), return to step S8, increment the character pointer, and repeat the processing from step S7.
If the target character determination unit 24 determines that there is no word for which it has not been determined whether or not the character is a ruby display target character (S14, end), the display unit 33 determines the character that is determined to perform ruby display. Then, a sentence with ruby added is displayed, and the process ends.

If it is determined in step S2 that the key input is a ruby display control instruction (S2).
2, ruby display control), the display unit 33 displays a sentence in which ruby is added to a character determined to perform ruby display (S1).
6). Then, the display unit 33 displays the default display time 35.
3 (if the display time is specified by the user, the user-specified display time 354), and if the ruby display time does not exceed the default display time 353 (the user-specified display time 354) ( S17,
No), the display of ruby is continued by repeating the processing of step S17. If the time during which the ruby display is performed exceeds the default display time 353 (the user-specified display time 354) (S17, time end), the display unit 33 displays the text in which the ruby has been deleted and ends the processing. .

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of data stored in the dictionary data storage unit 25 of the ruby display device according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 8, ruby (ruby data 252), stroke count (stroke count data 253), difficulty level (difficulty level data 254), and meaning (dictionary data 251) are added to each word including kanji. Have been. The stroke number data 253 includes the stroke number of each single kanji included in the word.

FIG. 9A is a diagram showing an example of text data input to the ruby display device according to the present embodiment. Referring to the flowchart shown in FIG.
Processing for adding ruby to all kanji in the sentence data shown in FIG.

The user inputs a key (S1).
If the key input is a character or data (S2, character or data input), the data input unit 22 performs text data input processing by the user or text data read processing from an external storage medium (S4). The document data is stored in 23 (S5). Then, the target character determination unit 24 performs morphological analysis and divides the sentence data shown in FIG. 9A into words (S6).

Next, the target character determination unit 24 sequentially extracts ruby display target characters from the first word among the words of the extracted sentence data (S7). For example, the first "this" shown in FIG. 9A is determined to be outside the ruby display target character, and the character pointer is incremented (S8). Since the next word "product" contains kanji, it is extracted as a ruby display target character.

The search unit 26 searches for “product” ruby with reference to the ruby data 252 stored in the dictionary data storage unit 25 (S8). If ruby is to be added to all kanji in the sentence data, the setting for adding ruby to the ruby display target character is performed without performing the processing of steps S10 to S12 (S13). Since the text data has not been completed yet (S13, No), the character pointer is incremented (S8), and the processing from step S7 is repeated. As a result, as shown in FIG. 9B, ruby is added to all kanji in the sentence data and displayed.

As described above, according to the ruby display device of the present embodiment, the ruby is added to the kanji in the sentence data, so that the ruby display device capable of displaying an easy-to-read sentence is provided. It became possible to provide.

(Embodiment 2) The outline of the function of the ruby display device according to the second embodiment and the processing procedure are the same as those of the ruby display device according to the first embodiment shown in FIG. 3 and the processing procedure shown in FIG. Since the same, the detailed description will not be repeated. The ruby display device according to the present embodiment adds ruby to single kanji characters in which the stroke value of single kanji characters in sentence data is equal to or greater than a predetermined value. The case where the default single kanji stroke numerical value 341 stored in the learning function unit 34 (or the user-specified single kanji stroke numerical value 342 when the user sets the single kanji stroke numerical value) will be described as an example. I do. Steps S1 to S1 in the flowchart shown in FIG.
The process of S6 is the same as the process of adding ruby to all kanji in the sentence data described in the ruby display device in the first embodiment, and thus detailed description will not be repeated.

In the flowchart shown in FIG. 7, the target character determination unit 24 sequentially extracts ruby display target characters from the first character of the text data stored in the data storage unit 23 (S7). The search unit 26 refers to the dictionary data storage unit 25, and refers to the ruby data 252 and the stroke count data 253 of the ruby display target character extracted by the target character determination unit 24.
Is searched (S9), and the search result is stored (S10).

When the ruby display target character is a single kanji, the ruby display determination / setting unit 28 makes the stroke number determining unit 281 determine whether or not the number of strokes of the single kanji is “7” or more. Is determined (S1).
1). For example, in the fifth line of the text data shown in FIG.
When determining whether or not to display ruby, it is determined that ruby is not to be displayed because the number of single kanji strokes of “occurred” and “other” is “5”. In addition, since the number of single kanji strokes of the single kanji character “receiver” is “8”, it is determined that ruby is displayed.

The ruby display determination / setting unit 28 records ruby display history data 291, ruby display date / time data 292, history count data 293, and ruby display count data 294 of words to be ruby displayed in the ruby display history storage unit 29. Alternatively, update is performed (S12). Then, the ruby display determination / setting unit 28 sets ruby display for the word to be displayed in ruby (S13). When the processing for all the words in the text data is completed (S14, end), the ruby display is determined. Ruby data is added to the set kanji, and sentence data is displayed without adding the ruby to the other words (S15). As a result, a part of the displayed sentence data is shown in FIG.

As described above, according to the ruby display device of the present embodiment, the ruby is added to the kanji whose stroke value of the single kanji in the sentence data is equal to or larger than a predetermined value, so that the reading comprehension is relatively small. It has become possible to provide a ruby display device that can display ruby on a single kanji having a large number of difficult strokes, and that can display an easily readable sentence.

(Embodiment 3) The outline of the function of the ruby display device according to the third embodiment and the processing procedure are the same as those of the ruby display device according to the first embodiment shown in FIG. 3 and the processing procedure shown in FIG. Since the same, the detailed description will not be repeated. The ruby display device according to the present embodiment extracts a kanji kanji in a sentence, and if the number of strokes of the single kanji having the largest number of strokes among the single kanji included in the kanji kanji is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, the ruby kanji is extracted. It adds ruby.

The case where the default ruby display count 351 stored in the learning function unit 34 (if the user sets the ruby display count, the user-specified ruby display count 352) is “3” will be described as an example. Steps S1 to S1 in the flowchart shown in FIG.
The process of S6 is the same as the process of adding ruby to all kanji in the sentence data described in the ruby display device in the first embodiment, and thus detailed description will not be repeated.

In the flowchart shown in FIG. 7, the target character determination unit 24 sequentially extracts ruby display target characters from the first character of the text data stored in the data storage unit 23 (S7). The search unit 26 searches the ruby data 252 of the ruby display target character extracted by the target character determination unit 24 with reference to the dictionary data storage unit 25 (S9), and stores the search result (S10).

The ruby display determination / setting unit 28 searches the ruby display count data 294 in the ruby display history storage unit 29,
The ruby display frequency of the ruby display target character is extracted, and if the ruby display frequency is “3” or more, it is determined that ruby is not displayed (S11). For example, if ruby is already displayed three times in the first "product" shown in FIG. 9A, it is determined that ruby is not displayed. On the other hand, if it is determined that ruby has not been displayed yet, it is determined that ruby is displayed.

The ruby display determination / setting section 28 increments and updates the history count data 293 and the ruby display count data 294 (S12). Then, the ruby display determination / setting unit 28 sets ruby display for the word to be displayed in ruby (S13). When the processing for all the words in the text data is completed (S14, end), the ruby display is determined. Ruby data is added to the set kanji, and sentence data is displayed without adding the ruby to the other words (S15).
As a result, a part of the displayed sentence data is shown in FIG.

Further, the ruby display color setting section 286 may change the ruby color based on the history count data 293 to set the ruby.

As described above, according to the ruby display device of the present embodiment, a ruby display target character in a text is extracted, and it is determined whether or not to add ruby based on the number of times the ruby display target character is displayed. Therefore, it is possible to provide a ruby display device that can display ruby of a word according to the number of appearances, and that can display a text that is easy to read.

(Embodiment 13) The outline of the function of the ruby display device in the thirteenth embodiment and the processing procedure are the same as the outline of the function of the ruby display device in the first embodiment shown in FIG. 3 and the processing procedure shown in FIG. Since the same, the detailed description will not be repeated. The ruby display device according to the present embodiment sets a ruby display time in a sentence. Note that the default display time 3 stored in the learning function unit 34
An example in which 53 (the user-specified display time 354 when the ruby display time is set by the user) is “5 seconds” will be described.

In the flowchart shown in FIG. 7, when it is determined that the key input is a ruby display control instruction (S2, ruby display control), the display unit 33 displays the ruby as shown in FIG. 9B. The added sentence is displayed (S16). Then, the display unit 33 refers to the default display time 353 (the user-specified display time 354), repeats the process of step S17, and continues displaying ruby (S17, NO). If the time during which the ruby display is performed exceeds "5 seconds" (S17, time end), the display unit 33 displays the text in which the ruby is deleted as shown in FIG. finish.

As described above, according to the ruby display device of the present embodiment, the ruby display time in a sentence is set, so that the ruby of a word can be displayed for a necessary time when necessary. It has become possible to provide a ruby display device capable of performing easy-to-read text display.

The embodiments disclosed this time are to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, rather than the description above, and is intended to include any modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims.
