[Problems to be solved by the invention]
When, for example, "look &up" is input on the screen for inputting a search word in the conventional electronic dictionary, all example sentences including "look" and "up" are searched and displayed. The displayed example sentence is an example sentence used as a combination of "look" and "up" (as a collocation or a phrase), such as (1) "They look up to him as their leader." .
[0005]
However, an example sentence in which "look" and "up" in the example sentence are not directly connected is also displayed. For example, (2) is an example sentence such as "She came up for a look at the new boy." Here, the example sentence (1) is an example sentence that has a special meaning because “look” and “up” are related, but the example sentence (2) has no relation between “look” and “up”. It can be said that this is an example sentence where "look" and "up" existed unintentionally in the same example sentence.
[0006]
Therefore, even if it is desired to search only example sentences using a combination of "look" and "up", an example sentence in which "look" and "up" are not directly related, such as in (2), is also searched. Since the displayed example sentence is mixed with the example sentence of ▼, the user needs to check the contents of the displayed example sentence one by one and determine whether or not the sentence is an example sentence to be originally searched, which is inconvenient.
[0007]
An object of the present invention is to provide an information display control device and a program having an example sentence search function for searching for an appropriate example sentence.

For example, "I" is stored in association with "you, we, he, she, they" and the like, and "yourself" is stored in association with "oneself, myself, yourselves, ourselves, himself, herself, themselves" and the like.
[0064]
The storage medium reading unit 27 is a functional unit that reads and writes data from and to a storage medium 200 such as a memory card and a hard disk. The storage medium reading unit 27 corresponds to the slot 13 shown in FIG.
[0065]
The CPU 21 searches the dictionary DB (English-Japanese dictionary DB 266 in the present embodiment) stored in the ROM 26, the various dictionary DBs stored in the storage medium 200, and the dictionary DB 320 to search for an example sentence including a search word. It is possible. In this case, the dictionary DB and the net dictionary DB 320 stored in the storage medium 200 have the same data configuration as the English-Japanese dictionary DB 266. In the present embodiment, a case where an example sentence is searched using the English-Japanese dictionary DB 266 will be described.
[0066]
FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the example sentence search process executed by the CPU 21 according to the example sentence search program 261. The flow of the example sentence search process will be described with reference to FIG.
[0067]
First, the CPU 21 displays an input screen 100 for inputting a search word as shown in FIG. When a search word is input by the user (step A1), the CPU 21 causes a character to be displayed in the input character display area 101 based on a pressed signal of a pressed key, and stores the input search word in the search word storage area 251. I do.
[0068]
Here, for example, when searching for an example sentence including a collocation or a phrase that uses the words “adult” and “accordingly” consecutively, the user enters a space between “adult” and “accordingly”. On the other hand, when searching for an example sentence in which “adult” and “accordingly” are included in any order in the example sentence, the user inserts “&” between “adult” and “accordingly” and inputs. Note that a space or “&” may be used as another predetermined symbol. Even if “adult accordingly” or “adult & accordingly” is input by any method, two search words such as “adult, accordingly” are stored in the search word storage area 251 in the order of input. .
[0069]
Then, an example sentence number corresponding to the first search word of the input search word is extracted from the word example sentence data table 2663 (step A2). For example, if "adult accordingly" is input in step A1, an example sentence number (00197,...) Including "adult" is extracted from the word example sentence data table 2663 in step A2.
[0070]
Next, an example sentence number corresponding to the search word next to the input search word is extracted from the word example sentence data table 2663 (step A3). For example, if "adult accordingly" is input in step A1 in the same manner as described above, in step A3, an example sentence number (00197,...) Including "accordingly" is extracted from the word example sentence data table 2663.
[0071]
Then, the CPU 21 extracts a common example sentence number from the example sentence numbers extracted in steps A2 and A3, and stores the extracted example sentence number in the first example sentence number storage area 253 (step A4). As described above, if "adult accordingly" is input in step A1, the example sentence number "00197" is extracted in both steps A2 and A3. That is, the common example sentence number is “00197”. Therefore, in step A4, the example sentence number “00197” is stored in the first example sentence number storage area 253.
[0072]
Note that, in the present embodiment, a case will be described in which a plurality of search words including two search words are input in step A1, but two or more search words may be input. In that case, the CPU 21 extracts the example sentence number of the example sentence including the search word for each search word, and finally extracts the common example sentence number.
[0073]
Next, the CPU 21 shifts the processing to a grammar rule search processing (step A5). FIG. 8 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the grammar rule search process executed by the CPU 21 according to the grammar rule search program 263. First, the CPU 21 reads a variant from the variant word data table 2664 for the search word stored in the search word storage area 251 and stores it in the variant search word storage area 252 (step B1).
[0074]
For example, when “adult, accordingly” is stored in the search word storage area 251, the “adults” which is a plural form of “adult” is stored in the variant word data table 2664. “Adults” is stored in the storage area 252. “Accordingly” is an adverb and has no variation. Therefore, "adults, accordingly" is stored in the variant search word storage area 252.
[0075]
Then, an example sentence number corresponding to the first search word stored in the variant search word storage area 252 is extracted from the word example sentence data table 2663 (step B2). For example, if "adults, accordingly" is stored in the variant search word storage area 252 in step B1, the example sentence number of "adults" is extracted from the word example sentence data table 2663 in step B2. Since the item “adults” does not exist in the word example sentence data table 2663 shown in FIG. 4, the example sentence number is not extracted.
[0076]
Next, an example sentence number corresponding to the next search word stored in the variant search word storage area 252 is extracted from the word example sentence data table 2663 (step B3). For example, as described above, when “adults accordingly” is stored in the variant search word storage area 252 in step B1, the example sentence number of “accordingly” is extracted from the word example sentence data table 2663 in step B3. Specifically, in the word example sentence data table 2663 shown in FIG. 5, the example sentence number of the example sentence including “accordingly” is “00197,...”.
[0077]
Then, the CPU 21 extracts a common example sentence number from the example sentence numbers extracted in steps B2 and B3, and stores an example sentence corresponding to the example sentence number in the second example sentence number storage area 254 (step B4). As described above, when “adults, accordingly” is stored in the variant search word storage area 252 in step B1, there is no common example sentence number among the example sentence numbers extracted in step B2 and step B3. In this case, the example sentence number is not stored in the second example sentence number storage area 254. Then, the CPU 21 shifts the processing to step A6 of the example sentence search processing.
[0078]
Note that, in step B1, for the search word stored in the search word storage area 251, a variant is read out from the variant word data table 2664 and the search word is converted. The search term is determined for each. Then, the processing of steps B2 to B4 is repeated for each different combination of variations.
[0079]
Subsequently, the CPU 21 shifts the processing to a description rule search processing (step A6). FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the writing rule search process executed by the CPU 21 according to the writing rule search program 262.
[0080]
First, the CPU 21 determines whether or not an example sentence number is stored in the first example sentence number storage area 253 (step C1). If the example sentence number is not stored (Step C1; No), the description rule search process is terminated, and the process proceeds to Step A7 of the example sentence search process.
[0081]
When the example sentence number is stored (step C1; Yes), the CPU 21 reads out the example sentence and the translation sentence corresponding to the example sentence number stored at the top from the example sentence data table 2662, and the read example sentence includes a delimiter (separation data). It is determined whether or not it is included (step C2).
[0082]
The delimiter character is a character such as ", (comma)", "= (equal)", ". (Period)". The comma in the example sentence indicates a break in meaning. An equal sign in the example sentence indicates that the sentence before and after it is almost synonymous. A period indicates the end of a sentence. Therefore, when a delimiter character is included in an example sentence, a sentence before and after the delimiter character can often be used independently.
[0083]
If the read example sentence includes a delimiter (Step C2; Yes), the CPU 21 divides the example sentence using the delimiter as a boundary, and searches for a search term from each of the divided sentences (Step C3).
[0084]
On the other hand, if it is determined in step C2 that there is no delimiter in the read example sentence (step C2; No), the CPU 21 determines whether or not “[] (brackets or square brackets)” is included in the example sentence. A judgment is made (step C4). The square brackets in the example sentence indicate that the words in the square brackets are almost the same as a sentence in which the immediately preceding word is replaced.
[0085]
If the example sentence includes brackets (step C4; Yes), the CPU 21 deletes the sentence in which the words in the brackets are deleted from the example sentence and the sentence in which the words in the brackets are replaced with the word immediately before the sentence. A search term is searched from each sentence (step C5).
[0086]
On the other hand, if it is determined in step C4 that the read example sentence does not have brackets (step C4; No), the CPU 21 determines whether or not “() (parentheses or parentheses)” is included in the example sentence. A judgment is made (step C6). The parenthesis in the example sentence indicates that the example sentence including the word in the parenthesis and the sentence in which the word in the parenthesis is deleted are substantially equivalent.
[0087]
When the example sentence includes parentheses (Step C6; Yes), the CPU 21 searches the example sentence from the sentence in which the words in parentheses are deleted and the sentence including the word in parentheses. A word is searched (step C7). When it is determined in step C6 that there is no parenthesis in the read example sentence (step C6; No), the CPU 21 shifts the processing to step C9.
[0088]
Then, the CPU 21 determines whether or not there is a sentence including all the search words among a plurality of sentences expanded according to various delimiters in step C3, step C5, or step C7 (step C8). When it is determined that there is no sentence including all search words (Step C8; No), the CPU 21 shifts the processing to Step C10.
[0089]
When it is determined that there is a sentence including all the search terms (step C8; Yes), the CPU 21 stores the sentence including all the search terms and the translated sentence thereof in the first example sentence among a plurality of sentences developed according to various delimiters. It is stored in the area 255 (step C9).
[0090]
Subsequently, the CPU 21 specifies the next example sentence number stored in the first example sentence number storage area 253 (step C10), and shifts the processing to step C1. When the processing of steps C1 to C10 is completed for all the example sentence numbers in the first example sentence number storage area 253, the processing of steps C1 to C10 is repeated for the example sentence numbers stored in the second example sentence number storage area 254. At this time, in steps C3, C5 and C7, the CPU 21 performs a search based on the search word converted into the variant. In step C9, the searched example sentence is stored in the second example sentence storage area 256.
[0091]
FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of the storage contents of the search word storage area 251, the first example sentence number storage area 253, and the first example sentence storage area 255. With reference to FIG. 12, a specific processing flow of the description rule search processing will be described.
[0092]
FIG. 12A is a diagram illustrating an example of the storage content of each storage area when “adult accordingly” is input in step A1 of the example sentence search process. In this case, the example sentence number “00197” of the example sentence including “adult” and “accordingly” is stored in the first example sentence number storage area 253 in step A4. Then, in step C2, the example sentence “She is an adult, so you should treat her accordingly.” Corresponding to the example sentence number “00197” and its translation are read from the example sentence data table 2662.
[0093]
Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the read example sentence includes a delimiter. Since the read example sentence includes a comma, the example sentence is divided into “She is an adult” and “so you should treat her accordingly” in step C3, and “adult” and “ accordingly "is searched for.
[0094]
However, both "She is an adult" and "so you should treat her accordingly" do not include both "adult" and "accordingly". Therefore, no example sentence is stored in the first example sentence storage area 255.
[0095]
FIG. 12B is a diagram illustrating an example of the storage contents of each storage area when “for English” is input in step A1 of the example sentence search process. In this case, the example sentence number “00566” of the example sentence including “for” and “English” is stored in the first example sentence number storage area 253 in step A4. Then, in step C2, the example sentence “get an A in [for] English” corresponding to the example sentence number “00566” and the translation thereof are read from the example sentence data table 2662.
[0096]
Since the read example sentence does not include a delimiter, it is determined in step C4 whether brackets are included. Since the read example sentence includes square brackets, two synonymous sentences “get an A in English” and “get an A for English” are created from the example sentence in step C5, and each sentence is generated. Is searched for "for" and "English".
[0097]
Here, “get an A in English” does not include both “for” and “English”, but “get an A for English” includes both “for” and “English”. Therefore, in step C9, "get an A for English" and its translation are stored in the first example sentence storage area 255.
[0098]
FIG. 12C is a diagram illustrating an example of the storage content of each storage area when “moment of” is input in step A1 of the example sentence search process. In this case, the example sentence number “00320” of the example sentence including “moment” and “of” is stored in the first example sentence number storage area 253 in step A4. Then, in step C2, the example sentence "in (a moment of) aberration" corresponding to the example sentence number "00320" and its translated sentence are read from the example sentence data table 2662.
[0099]
Since the read example sentence does not include a delimiter and brackets, it is determined in step C6 whether parentheses are included. Since the read example sentence includes parentheses, two synonymous sentences “in aberration” and “in a moment of aberration” are created from the example sentence in step C7, and “moment” is set for each sentence. "And" of "are searched.
[0100]
Here, “in aberration” does not include both “moment” and “of”, but “in a moment of aberration” includes both “moment” and “of”. Therefore, in step C9, “in a moment of aberration” and its translation are stored in the first example sentence storage area 255.
[0101]
Subsequently, the CPU 21 shifts the processing to the example sentence rearranging processing (step A7). FIG. 10 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the example sentence rearranging process executed by the CPU 21 according to the example sentence rearranging program 264.
[0102]
First, the CPU 21 extracts, from the first example sentence storage area 255, an example sentence containing a search word continuously and its translation, and stores it in the display example sentence storage area 257 (step D1). At the same time, “に” stored in the identification mark data 265 is stored in association with the extracted example sentence. Hereinafter, example sentences are stored in the display example sentence storage area 257 in the order in which they are stored.
[0103]
Next, when a search word is input, the CPU 21 determines whether "&" has been input between the search words (step D2). That is, in step A1 of the example sentence search process, it is determined whether the search word is input with a space between search words such as “in school” or “&” as in “in & school”. I do.
[0104]
When it is determined that “&” has not been input (step D2; No), the CPU 21 extracts from the second example sentence storage area 256 an example sentence that continuously includes the search word converted into the variant and its translated sentence. Is stored in the display example sentence storage area 257 (step D3). At the same time, “○” stored in the identification mark data 265 is stored in association with the extracted example sentence. Then, the CPU 21 ends the example sentence rearranging process.
[0105]
On the other hand, when it is determined that “&” has been input (step D2; Yes), the CPU 21 stores the example sentences including the search words in the order stored in the search word storage area 251 and the translations thereof in the first example sentence. It is extracted from the area 255 and stored in the display example sentence storage area 257 (step D4). At the same time, “○” stored in the identification mark data 265 is stored in association with the extracted example sentence.
[0106]
Subsequently, the CPU 21 extracts, from the first example sentence storage area 255, an example sentence containing the search word in the reverse order stored in the search word storage area 251, and stores the translated sentence in the display example sentence storage area 257 (step D5). ). At the same time, “△” stored in the identification mark data 265 is stored in association with the extracted example sentence.
[0107]
Next, the CPU 21 extracts, from the second example sentence storage area 256, an example sentence including the search words converted into the variant in the order stored in the variant search word storage area 252, and stores the display example sentence. It is stored in the area 257 (step D6). Then, the CPU 21 extracts, from the second example sentence storage area 256, an example sentence containing the search word converted to the variant in the reverse order and stored in the variant search word storage area 252, and the display example sentence storage area. 257 (step D7). When the example sentence rearranging process ends, the CPU 21 shifts the processing to step A8 of the example sentence search process.
[0108]
Subsequently, a specific processing flow of the example sentence rearranging processing will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 13 shows a search word storage area 251, a variant search word storage area 252, a first example sentence storage area 255, and a second example sentence storage when "in school" or "in &school" is input in step A1 of the example sentence search processing. FIG. 18 is a diagram showing an example of storage contents of an area 256 and a display example sentence storage area 257.
[0109]
In each storage area of FIG. 13, in the step C9 of the description rule search processing, the first example sentence storage area 255 stores the example sentences 12a, 12b, 12c, and the like. In the variant search word storage area 252, “school” is converted to a variant and “in, schooled” is stored. Therefore, the second example sentence storage area 256 stores the example sentences 12d and the like.
[0110]
Then, in step D1 of the example sentence rearranging process, the example sentence 12a that includes “in” and “school” in succession and “「 (M1) ”are stored in the display example sentence storage area 257. If "in school" is entered with a space between the search words in step A1 of the example sentence search process, an example sentence containing "in" and "schooled" consecutively is stored in the second example sentence in step D3. The search is performed from the area 256. Since the second example sentence storage area 256 shown in FIG. 13 does not store an example sentence containing “in” and “schooled” consecutively, an example sentence is additionally stored in the display example sentence storage area 257. There is no.
[0111]
On the other hand, if “in & school” is entered by inserting “&” between search words in step A1 of the example sentence search process, an example sentence containing two search words in the order of “in” and “school” in step D4 12b and “○ (M2)” are stored in the display example sentence storage area 257. In this case, another word may be present between the search words “in” and “school”. In step D5, the example sentence 12c including two search words in the order of “school” and “in” and “$ (M3)” are stored in the display example sentence storage area 257.
[0112]
Next, in step D6, an example sentence including two search words in the order of “in” and “schooled” is extracted. Since the second example sentence storage area 256 shown in FIG. 13 does not store an example sentence including two search words in the order of “in” and “schooled”, an example sentence is added to the display example sentence storage area 257. It is not remembered. Then, in step D7, the example sentence 12d including the two search words in the order of “schooled” and “in” and “$ (M4)” are stored in the display example sentence storage area 257.
[0113]
Subsequently, the CPU 21 shifts the processing of step A8 of the example sentence search processing, and causes the display unit 23 to display the example sentence stored in the display example sentence storage area 257, its translation, and the identification mark. Then, the CPU 21 ends the example sentence search process.
[0114]
FIG. 14A is an example of an input screen displayed on the display unit 23 in step A1 of the example sentence search process. FIG. 14B shows an example of a display screen of the search result when "in school" is input. FIG. 15A is an example of an input screen displayed in step A1 of the example sentence search process. Here, an example of a display screen of the search result when "in &school" is input is shown in FIG. When displaying the searched example sentence and its translation on the display unit 23, the CPU 21 displays the word input as the search word with an underline.
[0115]
As described above, when searching for an example sentence with a space between search words, only an example sentence that includes the input search word continuously is searched. Therefore, it is possible to search for and display an example sentence suitable for the purpose. In addition, the example sentence using the variation of the search word is searched at the same time. Therefore, an example sentence that has been used after being converted to a variation can also be displayed as a search result. This makes it possible to automatically find an example sentence in which the search word is used in both the original form and the modified form.
[0116]
Further, together with the example sentence displayed as the search result, the identification marks are displayed in order according to the matching degree of the input search word. This makes it easy for the user to recognize an example sentence close to the target example sentence.
[0117]
The embodiments of the present invention have been described above. However, the present invention is not limited only to the above-described embodiments, and it is needless to say that various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. .
[0118]
For example, an input search word is converted into a variant to perform a search.However, for example, by changing a personal pronoun and the like, and further rearranging the search words, an example sentence of a question sentence can be searched. May be configured.
[0119]
For example, if the search word is a personal pronoun, in step B1 of the grammar rule search process, the CPU 21 determines a word whose status has been changed to another person from the variant word data table 2664 as a search word, and determines that the search word is a question form. The processing of rearranging is performed so that Specifically, when "I would like" is input as a search word, "I" is changed to "you", and the search words are rearranged to "would you like". Thereby, in addition to the input search word, an example sentence transformed into a question form such as “Would you like ~?” Can be further searched.
[0120]
When displaying the searched example sentence and its translation on the display unit 23, the word input as the search word is displayed with an underline, but the font or style of the word is changed, The color may be changed and displayed.
[0121]
Further, the English-Japanese dictionary DB 266 is provided with the variant word data table 2664, but the variant of the entry may be stored together with each entry in the entry word data table 2661.
[0122]
