[0072]
For example, as shown in FIG. 9A, a search mode of the English-Japanese dictionary is set according to the operation of the “English-Japanese” key 16a of the input unit 16, and the search word input screen G1 is displayed on the display unit 17. For example, when the search character "kind" is input and the "translation / decision" key 16b is operated as shown in FIG. 9B, the data of the input search word "kind" is input. It is stored in the memory 12e (step S1).
[0073]
Then, it is determined whether or not the input search word "kind" stored in the input search word memory 12e includes a series of plural words (step S2).
[0074]
Here, since it is determined that the input search word “kind” does not include a series of plural words, the process proceeds to a normal dictionary search process, and the headwords 31a, 31b,. .. Including the search word “kind” are searched from the dictionary content data (base) 12d and stored in the search headword list memory 12f, as shown in FIGS. 9B and 9C. As shown, a list is displayed in the left area of the search entry word list screen G2 displayed on the display unit 17.
[0075]
At this time, the headword table 12b (see FIG. 2) is stored in the right area of the search headword list screen G2 in association with each of the headwords 31a, 31b,... Listed in the left area. The head data 32a, 32b,... Of the explanation contents of each headword 31a, 31b,.
[0076]
Then, as shown in FIG. 9B, of the headwords 31a, 31b,... Displayed in the list on the search headword list screen G2, the headword "kind1" at the top is specified by default and inverted. .. Are read from the explanation information table 12c (see FIG. 3) corresponding to the identification display 34, and the head data 33a, 33b,... Of each explanation content (item) of the designated headword "kind1" is read out. Are displayed in a list so as to be superimposed on the description head data 32a, 32b,... For each headword 31a, 31b,. At this time, the designated headword "kind1", which is the inverted identification display 34, and the head data 33a, 33b,... Of the respective description contents are surrounded by a frame 35 in a balloon format, and the correspondence is clearly displayed. You.
[0077]
Then, as shown in FIG. 9C, when the designated headword 31 to be the inverted identification display 34 is changed by operating the cursor key 16c, the newly specified headword 31 is changed each time the change is designated. Are read out and displayed in the same manner as described above, surrounded by an enclosing frame 35.
[0078]
On the other hand, for example, as shown in FIG. 10A, while the search word input screen G1 is displayed on the display unit 17, for example, a search character "kind to" is input, and as shown in FIG. When the "translation / decision" key 16b is operated (step S1), it is determined that the input search word "kind to" includes a series of plural words (step S2). The process proceeds to the selection process (step SA).
[0079]
In this key word selection process (step SA), it is determined whether or not there is a verb in the input search word composed of a series of plural words (step A1), and if there is no verb, whether or not there is an adjective (step A1 → A3) If there is no adjective, it is determined whether there is a noun (step A3 → A5).
[0080]
If it is determined that there is a verb in the input search word, this verb is set as a main key word to be searched (step A1 → A2), and if it is determined that there is no verb and there is an adjective, This adjective is set as a key word (step A3 → A4), and if it is determined that there is no adjective and there is a noun, it is determined whether or not there is a plurality of this noun in the input search word (step A5). → A6).
[0081]
Here, when it is determined that there are a plurality of nouns in the input search word, the longer word of the plurality of nouns is set as the key word, and when the noun is the same, the leading word is the key word. A word is set (step A6 → A7).
[0082]
If it is determined that there is no more than one noun in the input search word, the noun is set as a key word (step A8).
[0083]
On the other hand, when it is determined that there is no verb, adjective, or noun in the input search word composed of a plurality of words, the first word is set as a main key word to be searched (step A9). ).
[0084]
That is, from the search word “kind to” composed of a series of a plurality of words input as shown in FIG. 10, “kind” is set as a main key word.
[0085]
When a key word to be searched is set for an input search word composed of a series of plural words (step SA), the key word "kind" is stored in the dictionary content data memory 12d. From each of the headwords in the English-Japanese word dictionary data, the headwords “kind1”, “kind2”,... That completely match the key word are searched for and stored in the search headword list memory 12f (step S3). The data of the corresponding explanation content is read out for each word (step S4).
[0086]
Then, the process proceeds to the process of searching for a plurality of words in the explanation data in FIG. 8 (step SB).
[0087]
In the multiple word search process (step SB) in the explanation data, first, the first headword "kind1" is specified from the plurality of headwords "kind1", "kind2",... Stored in the search headword list memory 12f. At the same time (step B1), the first explanation item is designated from the explanation contents corresponding to the designated headword (step B2).
[0088]
Then, the content data of the designated explanation item is read out to the work area 12j (step B3), and it is determined whether or not the content data of this explanation item includes the data “〜” (step B4). .
[0089]
Here, when it is determined that the content data of the specified explanation item includes the data of “〜”, the data of “〜” is replaced with the word “kind” of the specified headword. (Step B4 → B5).
[0090]
Further, it is determined whether or not the specified headword is a verb (step B6). If it is determined that the specified headword is a verb, the symbol data "SV" is included in the content data of the specified explanation item. It is determined whether or not it has been performed (step B6 → B7).
[0091]
Here, if it is determined that the content data of the specified explanation item includes the symbol data of “SV”, the symbol data of “SV” is [S + designated headword “kind”]. (Step B7 → B8).
[0092]
In this way, if the content data of the specified explanation item of the specified headword has data of "~", the data of "~" is replaced with the specified headword "kind", and "SV If there is symbol data of "", if the data of "SV" is replaced with [S + designated headword "kind"], a character string consisting of a series of plural words corresponding to the data replacement in this description Is a character string that matches or includes the search target character string "kind to" consisting of a series of words stored in the input search word memory 12e (step B9).
[0093]
Here, for example, a character string consisting of a series of plural words in the case where the data of “〜” in the content data of the specified explanation item is replaced with the specified headword “kind” becomes “kind to... If it is determined that the character string matches or includes the character string "kind to", it is determined whether or not the search target character string "kind to" is included in the head of the description (see FIG. 4). Step B9 → B10).
[0094]
Then, it is determined that there is a character string that matches or includes the search target character string in the content data of the specified description item, and when it is determined that this is included at the beginning of the description content, a hit table For 12g (see FIG. 4), the mark (flag) indicating the presence of the search character string is associated with the No. of the headword and the No. of the description item, indicating that the description is a “sentence”.
