Description

  The present invention relates to an electronic device and a program, and more particularly to an electronic device and a program suitable for learning support using an electronic dictionary function.

  Mobile communication terminals such as mobile phones are equipped with various functions in addition to the voice call function, which is a basic function, and are becoming multi-functional. Recently, mobile communication terminals equipped with an electronic dictionary function as an additional function have been realized. Such electronic dictionaries are obtained by digitizing the contents of various dictionaries (eg, Japanese-English dictionaries, English-Japanese dictionaries, national language dictionaries, etc.) that have been provided by conventional books. Since it can be used in a single device, it is highly convenient and is widely used in place of books.

  Such electronic dictionaries are used to check the meaning of unknown words, etc., as with conventional book dictionaries. However, when used for learning purposes (for example, studying for exams, etc.) It is important for learners to remember the contents. For learning that requires memorization, a method using a word book of a paper card has been used for a long time, but an electronic device that can handle a larger amount of information than a paper medium has a function equivalent to a word book. If provided, an increase in learning amount and improvement in learning efficiency can be expected. In particular, if you realize a word book function on a mobile communication terminal with excellent portability, you can learn regardless of location and time while using more information than before, and it is as simple as a conventional word book Now, more effective learning can be achieved.

On the other hand, a learning support function using an information processing apparatus such as a personal computer has conventionally existed, and a learning support method using an electronic dictionary function has been proposed (for example, Patent Document 1).

  In the present embodiment, each configuration illustrated in FIG. 3 is logically realized by the control unit 100 executing a program. However, the configuration is not limited thereto, and for example, an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) is specified. Each configuration shown in FIG. 3 may be realized by hardware such as an integrated circuit for use).

  Each of the above-described configurations is a configuration necessary for realizing the present invention, and other configurations necessary for a basic function and an additional function as a mobile communication terminal are provided as necessary.

  The operation of the mobile communication terminal 1 having such a configuration will be described below. First, the operation of “word book generation processing” for generating a word book with words searched by the electronic dictionary function will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. This word book generation process is started when the electronic dictionary function of the mobile communication terminal 1 is activated. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the user of the mobile communication terminal 1 performs learning using the electronic dictionary function of the mobile communication terminal 1. Therefore, in this embodiment, the “user of the mobile communication terminal 1” and the “learner” are consent.

  When the process is started, the electronic dictionary function is executed by the electronic dictionary processing unit 110, and an electronic dictionary screen is displayed on the display unit 40 (step S101). Here, an electronic dictionary screen for the selected dictionary is displayed based on an input signal from the operation unit 30 according to a user operation. An example of an electronic dictionary screen displayed on the display unit 40 is shown in FIG. Here, a display example of a dictionary (for example, English-Japanese dictionary) related to English words is shown. In this case, as shown in the figure, English words that are head words are displayed so as to be selectable. When the user operates the operation unit 30 to select a desired English word and performs a predetermined operation, the electronic dictionary processing unit 110 accesses the dictionary data in the electronic dictionary data storage unit 62, so that the meaning of the English word, etc. Switch to the screen that displays.

  When such an operation of selecting a headword on the electronic dictionary screen is performed, an input signal indicating the operation is input from the operation unit 30 to the control unit 100. The electronic dictionary processing unit 110 determines that a word (entry word) has been selected in the electronic dictionary based on the input signal (step S102: Yes). In this case, the electronic dictionary processing unit 110 performs a display operation related to the electronic dictionary function for the selected word, and also displays the type of the electronic dictionary currently activated, the selected word, and the content about the word in the word book. The creation unit 120 is notified.

  In response to the notification from the electronic dictionary processing unit 110, the word book creation unit 120 accesses the word book data storage unit 63 and determines whether or not the notified word is unregistered (step S103). When the word selected in the electronic dictionary is not registered in the word book data (step S103: Yes), the word book creation unit 120 creates a new record in the word book data in the word book data storage unit 63, and the electronic dictionary The word notified from the processing unit 110 is newly registered, and the new dictionary data is added to the word book data by recording the type of dictionary used in the created record (step S104).

  In addition, the word book creation unit 120 notifies the learning data acquisition unit 130 of the word ID that is a key of the record created at this time and the dictionary contents notified from the electronic dictionary processing unit 110. In response to the notification from the word book creation unit 120, the learning data acquisition unit 130 accesses the learning data storage unit 64 to create a new record, registers the notified dictionary contents as default learning data, New learning data is registered by storing the word ID indicating the corresponding word data in the book data storage unit 63 (step S105). In this way, the words constituting the word book data and the learning data indicating the contents are associated and registered in the word book data storage unit 63 and the learning data storage unit 64.

  When the word selected in the electronic dictionary is already registered (step S103: No), it is not necessary to add the word, so that new word data is not added or learning data is not registered.

  In this way, when the word selected by the electronic dictionary function of the mobile communication terminal 1 is not registered in the word book data, the word and the dictionary contents are automatically added to the word book data. This adding operation to the word book data is executed in the background of the electronic dictionary function. Therefore, the user continues to use the electronic dictionary function in the mobile communication terminal 1. Here, the above process is repeated until the user instructs the end of the electronic dictionary function by operating the operation unit 30 (step S106: No). That is, whenever a word that is not registered in the word book data is searched in the electronic dictionary, the searched word and default learning data are automatically registered each time.

  When the end of the electronic dictionary function is instructed (step S106: Yes), the electronic dictionary processing unit 110 ends the electronic dictionary function and notifies the word book creation unit 120 to that effect. The word book creation unit 120 displays a list of newly added words in response to a notification from the electronic dictionary processing unit 110 and asks the user whether or not to edit data for the added words (Editing confirmation screen) is displayed on the display unit 40 (step S107).

  A display example of the edit confirmation screen displayed on the display unit 40 is shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, the newly added word is displayed on the edit confirmation screen so as to be selectable. If there is a word desired to be edited in the word data, the user operates the operation unit 30 to select the word, and operates the operation unit 30 so that the “edit” button is selected. On the other hand, when editing of the word book data is not desired, the operation unit 30 is operated so that the “end” button is selected.

  The word book creation unit 120 determines whether editing of word data has been selected based on the input signal from the operation unit 30 (step S108). Here, when the operation for selecting the “end” button is performed and editing of the word data is not selected (step S108: No), the word book data using the registered dictionary contents as the learning data is created by default. In this state, the word book generation process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when an operation for selecting the “edit” button is performed and word data editing is selected (step S108: Yes), the word book creation unit 120 notifies the learning data acquisition unit 130 to that effect. In this case, the learning data acquisition unit 130 activates a “word book editing process” for allowing the user (learner) to edit or newly input learning data (step S109), and ends the word book generation process.

  It is assumed that this word book editing process can be executed later by the user performing a predetermined operation even when “edit” is not selected in the word book generation process. In this case, the display unit 40 displays a screen similar to the above-described editing confirmation screen (see FIG. 5B) that displays a list of selectable words registered in the word book data. It is assumed that learning data about a word is edited.

  The word book editing process will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. When the process is started, the learning data acquisition unit 130 acquires learning data associated with the selected word from the learning data storage unit 64 (step S201).

  When the target learning data is acquired, the learning data acquisition unit 130 displays a “learning data editing screen” that displays the learning data in an editable manner on the display unit 40 (step S202). Here, learning data such as dictionary contents registered by default is displayed in an editable manner, and the user operates the operation unit 30 to delete part or all of the current learning data, or to learn by inputting characters. Enter your own learning data. In other words, depending on the purpose and level of learning, you can delete unnecessary parts from the dictionary contents registered by default, or add contents learned by the learner other than the dictionary for those words. It is possible to use word book data composed of original learning data.

  When the learning data editing for one word is completed, the user operates the operation unit 30 and inputs that effect. When such an editing end instruction is input (step S203: Yes), the learning data acquisition unit 130 displays a list of words other than the word corresponding to the learning data edited this time so as to be selectable. A screen (editing object selection screen) similar to (see FIG. 5B) is displayed on the display unit 40 (step S204).

  Here, when the user operates the operation unit 30 to instruct editing of another word (step S205: Yes), learning data editing for a newly selected word is performed by the processing from step S201. . On the other hand, when the end of word book editing is instructed (step S205: No), the word book editing process ends.

  Thus, the user (learner) himself / herself edits the word book data automatically registered by using the electronic dictionary, so that the original word book data corresponding to the learning purpose and level can be obtained.

  The “learning support process” for supporting the learning of the user (learner) using such word book data will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. This learning support process is started when the user (learner) operates the operation unit 30 to instruct display of the word book.

  When the process is started, the word book display unit 140 displays a menu screen for allowing the user to select a genre or the like of the word to be displayed on the display unit 40 (step S301). On this menu screen, for example, “English words only”, “historical terms only”, “all”, etc. are selected based on the type of dictionary indicated by each word data stored in the word book data storage unit 63 Displayed as possible. The user (learner) operates the operation unit 30 and selects the genre of the word to be learned in the word book according to the learning purpose at that time. In this case, the word book display unit 140 accesses the word book data storage unit 63, acquires word data corresponding to the selected genre (step S302), accesses the learning data storage unit 64, and acquires the acquired word. Learning data associated with the data is acquired (step S303), and display preparation is performed.

  Moreover, the word book display part 140 starts the touch sensor 31 used at the time of a word book display (step S304). As a result, the finger contact with the touch sensor 31 by the user (learner) while displaying the word book is detected, and the detection signal is input to the control unit 100.

  When the touch sensor 31 is activated, the word book display unit 140 sorts the word data acquired in step S302, for example, in order of word ID, and sets the initial value “1” to the word display pointer n that specifies the word to be displayed. Is set (step S305), and the learning management unit 160 is notified of the word ID indicated by the nth word data.

  In response to the notification from the word book display unit 140, the learning management unit 160 accesses the learning management information storage unit 65, and searches the stored learning management information for a record of the notified word ID. If there is no corresponding record, a new record is created using the notified word ID as a key, and “1” is set in the “learning count” field. If there is already a record, the numerical value recorded in the “learning count” of the record is incremented by one. In addition, when the “last learning date” of the record is recorded, the learning management unit 160 transcribes the date to the “last learning date”, acquires the current date, and records it in the “last learning date”. To do. That is, the learning management information for the nth word is created or updated (step S306).

  And the word book display part 140 performs the word book display based on nth word data (step S307). Here, an example of the display pattern of the word book display by the word book display unit 140 is shown in FIG. In this display pattern, as shown in FIG. 9A, first, only the word corresponding to the target word data is displayed on the display unit 40. And the learning data corresponding to this word can be seen by scrolling the same screen (for example, upward scrolling) as shown in FIG. 9B. This scroll operation is performed using the touch sensor 31. That is, when the learner touches the touch sensor 31 while moving a finger in a direction corresponding to the lower direction of the screen, for example, screen scrolling according to the movement is performed. Further, from the state of the word display shown in FIG. 9A or the state of the learning display shown in FIG. As shown in (c), the screen changes to a screen for displaying the next word (or the previous word).

  In other words, if the learner can immediately recall the learning content of the displayed word, it is not necessary to look at the learning content (learning data), so it will proceed to the next word, but the learning content of that word If it is not possible to recall, it is necessary to view the learning content (learning data), so that the screen is scrolled and displayed.

  That is, in the case of this display pattern, whether to advance to the next word or to display the learning content can be distinguished according to the finger movement direction on the touch sensor 31. Based on the input from the touch sensor 31, a “memory determination process” for determining whether or not the learner stores the displayed word is executed by the memory determination unit 150 (step S <b> 1). S400). This memory determination process will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  When the process is started, the memory determination unit 150 determines whether or not the learner has made a finger contact on the touch sensor 31 in the vertical direction based on the input signal from the touch sensor 31 (step S401). When a finger contact in the vertical direction is detected (step S401: Yes), for example, a provisional point (hereinafter referred to as “non-memory provisional point”) indicating that there is no memory is cleared on the work area (“ 0 "is substituted) (step S402).

  Then, the word book display unit 140 scrolls the screen according to the contact input, and displays learning data corresponding to the displayed word data on the display unit 40 (step S403).

  In this case, since the learner is referring to the learning content, it is conceivable that the word is not stored, but the learning content may be displayed for confirmation even if stored. There is usually a difference in display time between browsing for such confirmation and browsing for learning an unstored word. Therefore, when the vertical finger contact is detected, the storage determination unit 150 performs collation with the following conditions in parallel to determine whether or not the learner has memorized.

  First, if an unstored word is to be learned, its contents are read carefully, so that it is scrolled little by little. In this case, in order to scroll to the end, the number of times of contact on the touch sensor 31 increases. Therefore, the memory determination unit 150 determines whether or not the number of times of contact in the vertical direction on the touch sensor 31 is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, and if it is equal to or greater than the predetermined number of times (step S404: Yes), It is determined that there is a probability of “no”, and the unstored provisional point is incremented by 1 (step S407).

  On the other hand, when browsing for confirmation, the amount of contact at one time may be increased and scrolled greatly, or before all the scrolling is completed, the next word may be advanced. Therefore, if the number of touches in the vertical direction on the touch sensor 31 is less than the predetermined number (step S404: No), the storage determination unit 150 determines that there is a probability of “stored”, and the unstored provisional point Addition to is not performed.

  In addition, since the number of times of such contact varies depending on the amount of learning data, it may be inaccurate when only the number of times of contact is determined. Therefore, the memory determination unit 150 also measures the finger contact time on the touch sensor 31. That is, in addition to increasing the number of contacts, the screen can be slowly scrolled by moving the fingers little by little while in contact. Therefore, the memory determination unit 150 compares the finger contact time at the touch sensor 31 with a predetermined threshold value, and if the contact time is equal to or longer than the predetermined time (step S405: Yes), there is a probability of “not stored”. Is determined, and the unstored provisional point is incremented by 1 (step S407). If it is less than the predetermined time (step S405: No), it is determined that there is a probability of “stored” and is not added to the unstored provisional point. .

  Further, since the scroll amount can be adjusted by the finger movement speed on the touch sensor 31 in addition to the number of times of contact and the contact time, the memory determination unit 150 also measures the finger movement speed on the touch sensor 31. And make a distinction. In this case, the memory determination unit 150 calculates the finger movement speed on the touch sensor 31 by measuring the movement amount (distance) of the finger on the touch sensor 31 and the movement time thereof, and compares it with a predetermined threshold value. To do. That is, if the finger movement speed on the touch sensor 31 is equal to or higher than the predetermined speed (step S406: Yes), the storage determination unit 150 determines that there is a probability of “stored” and sets the unstored provisional point. Do not add. On the other hand, if the finger moving speed on the touch sensor 31 is less than the predetermined speed (step S406: No), it is determined that there is a probability of “not stored”, and the unstored provisional point is incremented by 1 (step) S407).

  If there is a probability of non-memory in such a plurality of determinations, the temporary non-memory point is 1 or more. On the other hand, if the probability of storing is high, the unstored provisional point is less than 1, that is, “0”.

  In the processing from step S404 to step S407, it is determined that there is a probability of “stored”, and the unstored provisional points are not added (step S404: No, step S405: No, step S406: Yse), or “ When it is determined that there is a probability of “not stored” and the unstored provisional point is incremented by 1 (step S407), the storage determining unit 150 learns on the touch sensor 31 based on the input signal from the new touch sensor 31. It is determined whether or not the person has made a finger contact in the vertical direction (step S408), and if a finger contact in the vertical direction is detected (step S408: Yes), the process returns to step S403, and the screen is displayed according to the contact input. Scroll to display the learning data corresponding to the displayed word data on the display unit 40

  On the other hand, when the finger contact in the vertical direction is not detected (step S408: No), it is determined whether or not the finger contact is made in the horizontal direction (step S409). If a finger contact in the left-right direction is detected (step S409: Yes), that is, if the learning data is displayed and the next word is advanced, is the unmemorized provisional point less than 1, that is, “0”? It is determined whether or not (step S410).

  If finger contact in the up / down direction and the left / right direction is not detected (step S408: No, step S409: No), the process returns to step S408 until the finger contact in the up / down direction or the left / right direction is detected. The processing from step S408 to step S409 is repeated.

  In step S410, when the unstored provisional point is less than 1, that is, “0” (step S410: Yes), the storage determination unit 150 determines that the learner stores the word (step S412). Alternatively, also when the process proceeds to the next word without displaying the learning data (step S401: No, step S411: Yes), the storage determination unit 150 determines that the learner stores the word (step S412).

  In this case, the storage determination unit 150 accesses the learning management information storage unit 65, specifies a record using the word ID of the currently displayed word as a key, and stores the “storage flag” of the record. Is set to “1” (step S413), and the value recorded in “number of times of storage” is incremented by 1 (step S414).

  On the other hand, when it is highly probable that the displayed word is not stored and the unstored provisional point is 1 or more (step S410: No), the storage determination unit 150 determines that the learner does not store the word ( In step S415, the “storage flag” of the learning management information is set to “0” indicating that it is not stored (step S416), and the storage count is not added.

  In this way, when the learning management information is updated by determining whether or not the learner stores the word based on the input using the touch sensor 31 for the displayed word, the learning support process shown in FIG. Return to the flow.

  In the learning support process, based on the learning management information updated by the memory determination for the displayed word, the learning management unit 160 calculates a learning effect for the word, and a “learning effect screen” indicating the learning effect for each word. Is displayed on the display unit 40 (step S308). A display example of the learning effect screen is shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, the learning effect screen displays the number of learnings, the number of times of storage, the previous learning date and time, etc. recorded in the learning management information in addition to the learned words. Further, for example, a learning effect based on the number of learning times and the number of memory times is displayed.

  In this case, the learning effect is calculated based on the ratio of the number of times of learning to the number of times of learning. For example, the calculation result is weighted according to the value indicated by the storage flag. For example, when the number of learning is “4”, if it is determined that “stored” in two of these, the number of storage is “2”, and the learning effect based on the ratio is “50%”. If the storage flag indicating whether or not the data has been stored in the most recent learning is “1”, it can be determined that the data has been stored through a plurality of learning operations. Therefore, in this case, weighting can be performed so that the numerical value is 50% or more.

  By displaying such a learning effect screen, the learner can sequentially grasp the learning effect for each word during learning in the word book. Here, when the learning using the word book is ended, the learner operates the operation unit 30 to instruct the end. When such an end instruction is not input and an instruction is given to advance to the next word (step S309: No), the word book display unit 140 increments the word display pointer n (step S310), and the step for the next word is performed. The processes after S306 are performed.

  On the other hand, when the end of the word book learning is instructed by the operation of the operation unit 30 (step S309: Yes), the learning support process ends.

  In this way, learning using a word book composed of words selected by the electronic dictionary function of the mobile communication terminal 1 is performed. At that time, it is determined whether or not the word is stored in the learner based on the input operation of the touch sensor 31 with respect to the display, and the learning effect for each word is presented.

  By transferring such word book data (word data + learning data) automatically generated from the electronic dictionary function and learning management information indicating the learning history to other mobile communication terminals 1, learning is performed. A person who supervises learning (for example, a teacher or the like) can grasp learning results by sharing word book data among the persons. The “word book data transfer process” executed in the mobile communication terminal 1 in this case will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. This word book data transfer process is started when the user operates the operation unit 30 in each of the two mobile communication terminals 1 to instruct the transfer of the word book data. Here, the operation of the mobile communication terminal 1 on the transfer side will be described.

  When the processing is started, the data transfer unit 170 accesses the word book data storage unit 63, the learning data storage unit 64, and the learning management information storage unit 65, and stores the word book data, learning data, and learning stored in each of them. Management data is acquired and stored in the work area as transfer target data (step S501).

  When the transfer target data is acquired, the data transfer unit 170 displays a “user identification information input screen” for allowing the user to input user identification information to be added to the data to be transferred on the display unit 40 (step S502). This user identification information is information for identifying who the transferred word book data or the like belongs to in the transfer destination mobile communication terminal 1, for example, the mobile communication terminal 1 as the transfer source. The name of the user. Therefore, a text box or the like in which an arbitrary character string can be input is displayed on the user identification information input screen. The user of the mobile communication terminal 1 (transfer source) operates the operation unit 30 and inputs arbitrary user identification information.

  The data transfer unit 170 adds the input user identification information, for example, as header information to each of the word book data, learning data, and learning management data acquired in step S501 (step S503).

  The data transfer unit 170 controls and activates the interface unit 50 (step S504), and instructs transmission of the word book data, learning data, and learning management data to which the user identification information is added in step S503. In response to an instruction from the data transfer unit 170, the interface unit 50 sequentially transmits the transfer target data held in the work area when there is another mobile communication terminal 1 with which the interface unit 50 can communicate. (Step S505), the process ends.

  In the transfer destination mobile communication terminal 1, the interface unit 50 receives the transferred data, and the received word book data, learning data, and learning management data are stored in the word book data storage unit 63, the learning data storage unit 64, and the learning data, respectively. Stored in the management information storage unit 65. At this time, since the user identification information is added to the transferred data, the transferred mobile communication terminal 1 transfers each of the transferred data as a separate file from its own stored data. Is stored.

  Through such processing, a word book created by the mobile communication terminal 1 of a learner can be shared among a plurality of learners having the same learning purpose to enhance the learning effect, or a learning supervisor such as a teacher can , Can learn the learning status and results of multiple learners.

  As described above, by applying the present invention as in the above embodiment, the word book function can be realized in an electronic device such as a mobile communication terminal, so that simple and effective learning support can be performed. it can.

  In this case, since the word selected by the electronic dictionary function such as the mobile communication terminal is automatically registered in the word book, the word book data composed of the words actively learned by the learner is specially selected by the learner. It can be created without the need for operations.

  In addition, since the learning data corresponding to each word can be registered or edited by the learner himself, it is possible to use the learner's own word book data according to the learning purpose and the learning level.

  In addition, a touch sensor (such as a fingerprint sensor) configured in a mobile communication terminal or the like is used to determine whether or not the learner has memorized the displayed word based on an input operation when displaying the word book. Since each learning effect is displayed, it is possible to learn while confirming the learning effect.

  In addition, since data related to the word book can be transferred to other mobile communication terminals, the word book data can be shared by multiple learners with the same learning purpose, and supervisors such as teachers can The learning outcomes can be grasped.

  The said embodiment is an example and the application range of this invention is not restricted to this. That is, various applications are possible, and all embodiments are included in the scope of the present invention.

  For example, in the above embodiment, the display pattern of the word book is illustrated in FIG. 9, but the display pattern of the word book is not limited to this and is arbitrary. In this case, memory determination may be performed based on finger contact on the touch sensor corresponding to the display pattern.
