Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic word book for memorizing foreign languages and technical terms.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Hitherto, a word learner has purchased a book or an electronic wordbook according to the purpose, and has studied. When the purpose changed (for example, from learning English words for high school exams to learning English words for college exams), each time, a word book was bought and learned according to the purpose.

[0003]

However, although learning of words in foreign languages and technical terms is based on lifelong learning, conventional books or electronic word collections require long-term, planned learning. Was inadequate to carry out. First of all,
Every time the vocabulary was updated, the words that had already been memorized reappeared and had to be re-measured from the beginning.

[0004] In addition, it has been difficult to grasp the learning results of oneself quantitatively. Specifically, it has been difficult to quantitatively grasp learning results such as the cumulative number of words over a long period of time.

Furthermore, it has been difficult to quantitatively grasp learning results for a specific word collection. It was also a matter of learning a new vocabulary without first knowing how many words in it you already knew.

[0006] It has been difficult to quantitatively grasp the time-series learning results.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems of the conventional word learning method. That is, (1) it is possible to avoid wasteful learning of words that have already been learned even if the word collection changes, (2) to be able to quantitatively grasp the self-long-term cumulative learning results, and (3) to specify specific words. To be able to quantitatively understand the results of their own learning on the collection,
(4) Even before learning, you can grasp how many words you already know in a specific word collection,
(5) To be able to quantitatively grasp one's own time-series learning results, and (6) To be able to use accumulated personal learning data for a long term. Achieving these tasks enables long-term, planned, and efficient word learning.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention firstly provides means for inputting the memory level of a learned word for each word, and personal learning of the memory level of the input word. When implementing the word data of the new word collection and the means of registering as new data, the existing word data and registered personal learning data (including memory level data) are not deleted, If there is the same word as the existing word data, there are means for sharing existing personal learning data (including storage level data) and means for controlling word display according to the storage level at the time of word learning. .

Secondly, there is provided means for counting and displaying the accumulated learning results for the implemented word data and the registered storage level data.

Thirdly, there is provided means for counting and displaying the implemented word data and the registered storage level data as learning results for the word data of a specific word collection.

Fourthly, a registration means for automatically registering the date at which the memory level is input in association with the corresponding word, and counting the progress of individual word learning based on the date data and the memory level data. , Means for displaying numerical values and graphs.

Fifth, there is provided a means for transferring the accumulated word data and personal learning data (including storage level data and date data) to another electronic dictionary or a computer terminal through a data communication technique or a storage medium. .

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of an electronic word book with a personal learning data management function.

The input device 10 is a display device 2 such as a keyboard.
Reference numeral 0 denotes an interface with a learner such as a liquid crystal monitor.

The word data 40 may be, for example, "compulsory English words required for college entrance examinations 3000" or "compulsory 1000 required for reading English newspapers."
This is word data of a word collection selected according to purpose such as "word". Each word registered in this word collection is represented by field data as (1) a word name (eg, "a
pple ”), (2) Word collection code (eg,“ DJH3000 ”meaning“ English words required for university entrance examination 3000 ”,
"E" which means "1000 words required to read English newspapers"
JS1000 ”), (3) part of speech (eg,“ verb ”,“ noun ”), and (4) meaning (eg,“ apple ”for“ apple ”). The number of these fields may be increased or decreased as necessary.

The word data 40 is implemented in the personal learning database 31 through a data communication technology such as the Internet or Bluetooth, or a storage medium such as a floppy (registered trademark) disk.

The control device 30 processes general operation input information input from the input device 10 and controls display on the display device 20 by a general operation control means (for example, operating a cursor from a plurality of displayed words). To select one, change the brightness of the display screen), implement processing means for processing the transferred word data 40 in the personal learning database 31 and store it, a storage level input from the input device 10, and the like. And a control means for controlling the display of words for learning and the display of learning results based on the personal learning database 31.

The personal learning database 31 holds word data implemented from each word collection and personal learning data input from the input device 10 and registered. Each word registered in the personal learning database 31 is represented by (1) a word name (eg, “appl” in English) as field data.
e)), (2) Word collection code (example: "DJH3000", which means "English words required for college entrance examination 3000", "EJS10" which means "1000 words required to read English newspapers"
00 "/ a plurality of codes are registered when a plurality of word data are implemented), (3) part of speech (eg,“ verb ”,“ noun ”), (4) meaning (eg,“ apple ”) (5) Memory level (Example: "A: Remembered", "B: Remembered", "C: Not remembered",
(S: compulsory), (6) Date of registration (Example: 01/12 /
2001). (1) to (4) are word data of each implemented word collection, and (5) to (6) are registered personal learning data. The number of these fields may be increased or decreased as needed.

The electronic dictionary 100 is, for example, an English-Japanese or Japanese-English electronic dictionary, and is optionally linked to an electronic word book.

Subsequently, a new personal learning database 31 is created.
An operation procedure for implementing the word data 40 in the first embodiment will be described.

When new word data 40 is transferred to the personal learning database 31, the control device 30
And word data already implemented in the personal learning database 31, processed, and stored. In particular,
The same word is determined with reference to the “word name” and “part of speech” of both word data, and if they are determined to be the same, the code of the word data 40 is added to the “word collection code” of that word. With this operation, each word of the word data 40 shares existing personal learning data (“memory level” and “registration date”). That is, the accumulated personal learning data can be applied to the word data to be newly used.

Next, an operation procedure in which the control device 30 performs screen display control for word learning using the personal learning database 31 will be described.

In accordance with an operation from the input device 10, the control device 30 converts each word implemented in the personal learning database 31 for learning purposes such as word collection type (word collection code), alphabetical order, and random order. Can be displayed accordingly.

The display of the learning words can be controlled by the storage level. For example, in FIG. 2, the word learning sample screen 201 is displaying all the storage levels ABCS. However, the display switching operation screen 20 for each storage level
When “display only BCS” is set in 2, only the word of the storage level BCS is displayed and the word registered as A is not displayed as in the word learning sample screen 203. Thus, when learning a new word collection, the learner can eliminate wasteful learning of words that have already been learned.

The word whose storage level is registered is displayed on the display device 2.
When it is displayed as 0, the control device 30 also displays the storage level as additional information at the same time (for example, see 201 in FIG. 2). In addition, "C: do not remember" is displayed for all unregistered words. This allows the learner to immediately check his or her memory level of each word during learning.

At the time of learning, the meaning of each word can be referred to if necessary. Normally, this operation refers to the field “meaning” of the word data implemented in the personal learning database 31 by an operation from the input device 10,
Achieved by displaying 0. However, the electronic dictionary 100
Is connected, the meaning of the corresponding word can be called out and displayed.

Next, an operation procedure in which the control device 30 registers personal learning data (storage level data and date data) in the personal learning database 31 will be described.

Registration of personal learning data is performed at the time of word learning. When the electronic dictionary 100 is connected,
It is also performed when using it (when displaying words and their meanings).
In any case, a word displayed on the display device 20 is selected by the input device 10 and a storage level is input. Then, the storage level data is registered as field data of the corresponding word on the personal learning database 31 together with the automatically input registration date data.

Next, an operation procedure in which the control device 30 displays the learning result using the data of the personal learning database 31 will be described.

First, it is possible to quantitatively confirm one's own long-term cumulative learning results. For example, "Your total vocabulary is 4553." This is achieved by the control device 30 counting and displaying the number of words registered as "A: learned" in the field "memory level" of the personal learning database 31.

Further, it is possible to quantitatively confirm the learning result for each word collection. For example, "You have learned 1312 (87%) words of" high school entrance examination 1500 "." In this case, the control device 30 specifies a word collection in the field “word collection code” of the personal learning database 31, and counts and displays words in which the “memory level” is registered as “A: learned”. Is achieved by

By using the above function, as long as the word data is implemented, even before learning, it is possible to grasp how many words in the specific word collection the user already knows.

Further, it is possible to quantitatively confirm the learning result in time series. For example, "I learned 123 English words in January 2001 and 87 English words in February". This number can also be displayed in graphical form. This is because the control device 30 has the personal learning database 31
Field "memory level" data and "registration date"
This is achieved by summarizing and displaying the data.

In order to support long-term use, the data in the personal learning database 31 is stored on the Internet,
The data can be transferred to another platform via a data communication technology such as Bluetooth or a storage medium such as a floppy disk.

[0035]

As described above, the present invention having means for managing a personal learning database in a long-term and systematic manner and using it together with word data of various word collections has the following effects in word learning. Bring.

First, it is possible to avoid duplication of learning a word already known every time a new word collection is purchased, and to efficiently learn only words that the user does not firmly remember.

Secondly, since the user can grasp his / her cumulative learning result in a specific quantity, it supports learning based on a long-term plan and promotes learning motivation by realizing learning progress.

Third, since the learning results for the specific word collection of the user can be grasped in a specific quantity, not only the planned learning is supported, but also the learning progress is realized to promote the motivation for learning. .

Fourth, since it is possible to check how much one already knows the words contained in a word collection without learning a specific word collection, it is possible to instantly grasp which word field one is vulnerable to. Can learn efficiently.

Fifth, since the learning result of the time series can be grasped in a specific quantity, it supports the planned learning and promotes the learning motivation by realizing the learning progress.

Sixth, since the accumulated personal learning data can be transferred, the switching of the learning platform to another computer terminal (for example, from a desktop personal computer to a notebook personal computer) can be smoothly performed. This supports lifelong word learning for individuals.
