  As part-of-speech memo data 22d1, a list of parts-of-speech existing in Japanese and English ([noun] [pronoun] [verb] [auxiliary verb] [pron. Verb].. It is stored in association with presence / absence information in English.

  FIG. 3B shows the contents of the syntax element memo data 22d2 stored in the grammar memo data memory 22d of the electronic dictionary device 10. As shown in FIG.

  The syntax element memo data 22d2 includes a list of syntax elements in Japanese and English (Japanese [subject] [verb (predicate)] [object] [complement] / English [S] [V] [O] [C]. ) Is stored.

  FIG. 3C is a diagram showing the contents of dependency memo data 22d3 stored in the grammar memo data memory 22d of the electronic dictionary device 10. As shown in FIG.

  As the dependency memo data 22d3, a list ([subject / predicate relationship] [modifier / qualifier relationship] [auxiliary relationship] [parallel relationship] [ Connection / connection relationship] [independent relationship]) is stored.

  “Relationship between subject and predicate” is the basic and most basic part of the sentence, and indicates the relationship consisting of the subject and predicate.

  [Relationship between modification and modification] refers to the relationship between clauses whose meanings in the sentence are detailed. The ones whose details are detailed are called "qualifiers" and the ones whose details are detailed are called "modified words". .

  “Auxiliary relationship” indicates a relationship of “verb + te (de) + auxiliary verb”, for example, “Reading” or “Placed”.

  [Parallel relationship] refers to the relationship in which the previous clause is side-by-side (and confronted) with the subsequent clause, such as “red and white ...”, basically changing the order. Have the same meaning.

  [Relationship between connected and connected] refers to the relationship of phrasal verbs connected by connected words and connected particles, for example, “… wet because of rain.” , It has the characteristic that meaning does not change even if it replaces with a conjunction.

  The RAM 26 is provided with a registration data memory 26a. In the registration data memory 26a, text data of example sentences read from the dictionary database 22b or text data such as an electronic book read from the text data memory 22c is displayed on the touch panel display unit 16. In the screen G (see FIGS. 6 to 8), when the part of speech, syntax element, and dependency-related grammar memo data are inserted in association with an arbitrary word in the text data in response to a user operation, Text data into which the grammar memo data is inserted is registered.

  In addition, at the left end of the touch panel display unit (main screen) 16, a touch icon area 16 </ b> B (see FIG. 6 to FIG. 6) in which various icons are displayed for designating a function that can be executed according to an operation mode. 8) is provided.

  For example, a text display screen G that displays a desired dictionary entry based on the dictionary database 22b and displays text data of the explanation information and text data read from the text data memory 22c is displayed. When the screen G is in the text display mode displayed on the touch panel display unit (main screen) 16, the touch icon area 16B has an arbitrary range in the text data displayed on the text display screen G. [Marker] icon BM for setting a marker mode for tracing and identifying with a color marker by touching, [Wordbook] icon BT for calling up a wordbook in which user-desired words are classified and registered, and Desired text data displayed on the text display screen G Etc. [Syntax Notes icon BB for inserting a grammar note indicating the part of speech, syntax elements, dependency relationship is displayed in red in association with the word.

  When the [grammar memo] icon BB is touched or the “grammar memo” key 14g is pressed to display the [grammar memo] icon BB, the grammar memo mode is activated. In the touch icon area 16B, a grammar memo mode icon BG is displayed in red.

  This grammatical memo mode icon BG is a [part of speech] icon Bp for inserting a part of speech memo corresponding to the user desired word W designated and displayed on the text display screen G, and the user desired word W. [Syntax element] icon Bc for inserting a memo of a syntax element in association with it, [Dependency] icon Br for inserting a memo of a dependency relation in association with the user's desired words W1 and W2, the same user It consists of four icons, a [delete] icon Be for deleting a grammatical memo inserted in association with a desired word W (W1, W2).

  Next, the grammar memo input function of the electronic dictionary device 10 having the above configuration will be described.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a grammar memo mode control process by the electronic dictionary device 10.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a dependency memo entry process associated with the grammar memo mode control process of the electronic dictionary device 10.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a display operation corresponding to the part-of-speech memo data insertion procedure by the grammar memo mode control process of the electronic dictionary device 10.

  For example, the text data of “English name speech / name dialogue” read from the outside and stored in the text data memory 22c is read, and the text display screen is displayed on the touch panel display 16 as shown in FIG. In the state displayed as G, the “grammar memo” key 14g of the key input unit 14 is pressed, or the [grammar memo] icon BB displayed in the touch icon area 16B is touched and designated and displayed. When the memo mode is activated, the grammar memo mode process in FIG. 4 is started.

  When the grammar memo mode process is started, it is determined whether or not the text display screen G is being displayed with text of an example sentence read from the dictionary database 22b or text of an electronic book read from the text data memory 22c. (Step S1).

  If it is determined that the text display screen G is being displayed (step S1 (Yes)), as shown in FIG. 6B, the [Part of speech] icon Bp, [Syntax] is displayed in the touch icon area 16B at the left end of the screen G. A grammar memo mode icon BG including an element icon Bc, a dependency icon Br, and a delete icon Be is displayed (step S2).

  Here, the [part of speech] icon Bp of the grammar memo mode icon BG is touched in order to enter a memo of the part of speech for a word desired by the user in the text data displayed on the text display screen G. When the designation is displayed (step S3 (Yes)) and the desired word “place” is selected and designated (step S4), the part-of-speech memo data 22d1 (FIG. 3A) stored in the grammar memo data memory 22d is displayed. Part of speech list Lp (“noun”, “pronoun”, “verb”, “auxiliary verb”, “proverb”) corresponding to the language (English) of the selected word “place” (step S5) A window is displayed in the vicinity of the selected word “place” (step S6).

  In the part-of-speech list Lp displayed in this window, when the cursor Cu displayed in blue is moved and “noun” is selected (step S7 (Yes)), 1 is directly above the line where the selected word “place” is present. A line spacing Lg between the lines is inserted (step S8).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 6C, the part of speech memo “noun” selected from the part of speech list Lp at the position corresponding to the selected word “place” using the inserted line spacing Lg. Mp is written and displayed in red according to the type of grammar (part of speech) (step S9).

  The word “place” selected by the user is designated and displayed, and the part of speech list Lp corresponding to the language (English) of the selected word “place” is displayed in a window (steps S4 to S6). When the selected word “place” is designated by a touch operation or the like (step S10 (Yes)), the simplified explanation is made from the [English-Japanese simple dictionary] corresponding to the language (English) of the designated word “place”. Information is read out and displayed in a window for a predetermined time (step S11).

  As a result, the grammatical information and the meaning of the selected word / phrase (word) “place” can be easily referred to before the part-of-speech list Lp is selected.

  Similarly, when the grammar memo mode process is started and the grammar memo mode icon BG is displayed in the touch icon area 16B at the left end of the text display screen G (step S1 (Yes) → S2), When the [Syntax Element] icon Bc is touched and designated to display the memo of the syntax element for the word desired by the user (step S12 (Yes)), the subsequent processing is the above [ The part of speech] icon Bp is executed in the same manner as when the touch operation is performed (steps S4 to S9).

  That is, when a word desired by the user (for example, “America”) is selected and designated and displayed, the selected word is based on the syntax element memo data 22d2 (see FIG. 3B) stored in the grammar memo data memory 22d. A syntax element list Lc (“S”, “V”, “O”, “C”) corresponding to the language (English) is generated and displayed in a window near the selected word.

  In the syntax element list Lc displayed in this window, when the cursor Cu displayed in blue is moved and “S” is selected, a line spacing Lg of one line is inserted immediately above the line with the selected word “America”. .

  Then, using the inserted line spacing Lg, the syntax element memo “S” Mc selected from the syntax element list Lc at the position corresponding to the selected word “America” is the grammar type (syntax element). It is filled in and displayed in yellow according to

  Even when the [syntax element] icon Bc is touched, the selected word “America” is designated and displayed, and a syntax element list Lc corresponding to the language (English) of the selected word “America” is displayed. When the selected word “America” is specified by touch operation or the like while the window is displayed, the simplified explanation information from the [English-Japanese simple dictionary] corresponding to the language (English) of the specified word “America” Is read and displayed in a window for a certain period of time.

  For this reason, the grammatical information and semantic content related to the selected word “America” can be easily referred to before selecting the syntax element list Lc.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a display operation example (No. 1) corresponding to the insertion procedure of dependency-related memo data by the grammar memo mode control process of the electronic dictionary device 10.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a display operation example (No. 2) corresponding to the insertion procedure of dependency-related memo data by the grammar memo mode control process of the electronic dictionary device 10.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 7A, the [grammar memo] icon BB in the touch icon area 16B is touched with the pen P on the text display screen G of "English name speech / name speech collection", and is designated and displayed. When the grammar memo mode is activated, as shown in FIG. 7B, the grammar memo mode icon BG is displayed in the touch icon area 16B (step S2), and the text data being displayed is displayed. When the [Dependency] icon Br of the grammar memo mode icon BG is touched and displayed in order to enter a dependency relationship note between two words desired by the user (step S14 (Yes)) ), The process proceeds to the dependency memo entry process in FIG. 5 (step SA).

  In this dependency memo entry process, as shown in FIG. 7C, after the first word “this country” W1 is touched and selected and displayed by the pen P (step A1), FIG. As shown in D), when the second word “I saw” W2 is touched to be selected and designated (step A2), the dependency memo data 22d3 (“ "Relationship between subject and predicate", "Relationship between modification and modification", "Auxiliary relationship", "Parallel relationship", "Connection / connection relationship", and "Independent relationship") (see FIG. 3C) are read out. As shown in (E), the dependency relation list Lr is displayed in a window at a position adjacent to the two selected words “this country” W1 and “seen” W2 (step A3).

  In the dependency relationship list Lr, the dependency relationship “relationship between subject and predicate” of the two selected words “this country” W1 and “seen” W2 is moved according to a user operation. If it is selected (step A4 (Yes)), it is determined whether another dependency-related memo Mr is already displayed in the text display screen G (step A5).

  If it is determined that no other dependency-related memo Mr is displayed in the text display screen G (step A5 (No)), the selected first and second words “this country” are displayed. A line spacing Lg of one line is inserted immediately above a line with W1 and “seen” W2 (step A6).

  Then, a display color (for example, (red)) corresponding to the type of grammar of the selected dependency relationship “relationship between subject and predicate” is determined (step A7).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 8F, using the inserted line spacing Lg, between the selected first word “this country” and the second word “saw”, The dependency relationship note “subject / predicate” Mr selected from the dependency relationship list Lr is written and displayed in the determined display color (red) (step A8).

  Even when the [dependency] icon Br is touch-operated, the selected first word “this country” W1 and the second word “seen” W2 are designated and displayed. With the dependency relationship list Lr corresponding to the selected words “this country” W1 and “seen” W2 displayed in a window (steps A1 to A3), the selected words “this country” W1, “seen” W2 Is designated by a touch operation or the like (step A11 (Yes)), from the [Japanese language simple dictionary] corresponding to the language (national language) of the designated word "this country" W1 or "seen" W2. The simplified explanation information is read out and displayed in a window for a predetermined time (step A12).

  For this reason, the grammatical information and the semantic content related to the selected word “this country” W1 or “seen” W2 can be easily referred to before performing the selection operation of the dependency relationship list Lr.

  On the other hand, when the dependency relationship between the selected two words W1 and W2 is selected from the dependency relationship list Lr (step A4 (Yes)), another dependency relationship memo is displayed in the text display screen G. If it is determined that Mr is already displayed (step A5 (Yes)), it is determined whether or not the positions of the two dependency relationships overlap (step A9).

  If it is determined that the positions of the two dependency relationships do not overlap (Step A9 (No)), the display colors of the dependency relationships of the two words W1 and W2 selected this time are already displayed. The display color (for example, green) that is different from the other dependency relationship memo Mr is determined (step A7).

  Then, using the line spacing Lg inserted according to the other already displayed dependency relationship memo Mr, the dependency relationship between the first word and the second word selected this time is used. The dependency relationship memo Mrb selected from the list Lr is written and displayed in the determined display color (green) (step A8).

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a specific example in the case where dependency relationships overlap in dependency memo entry processing accompanying the grammar memo mode control processing of the electronic dictionary device 10.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 9 (A1), the dependency selected by the user is added to the immediately preceding line spacing Lg1 corresponding to the first word Wa1 and the second word Wa2 selected in accordance with the previous dependency memo entry processing. In the state where the related memo Mra is displayed in red, as shown in FIG. 9A2, the first and second selected this time inside the first and second words Wa1 and Wa2 selected previously. If the words Wb1 and Wb2 are located, it is determined that the positions of the previous and current dependency relations overlap (step A9 (Yes)).

  Then, the line space Lg2 is further added immediately above the line space Lg1 added last time (step A10), and the dependency relationship memo Mra corresponding to the previous first and second words Wa1 and Wa2 using the line space Lg2 is red. At the same time, using the line spacing Lg1, the dependency relationship notes Mrb corresponding to the current first and second words Wb1, Wb2 are displayed in green so as to be discriminable (steps A7, A8).

  Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 9 (B1), the user has selected the line spacing Lg1 immediately above corresponding to the first word Wa1 and the second word Wa2 selected in the last dependency memo entry process. In a state where the dependency relationship memo Mra is displayed in red, as shown in FIG. 9 (B2), the first and second selected this time outside the first and second words Wa1 and Wa2 selected previously. When the second words Wb1 and Wb2 are located, it is determined that the positions of the previous and current dependency relations overlap (step A9 (Yes)).

  Then, a line space Lg2 is further added immediately above the previously added line space Lg1 (step A10), and the dependency relationship memo Mrb corresponding to the current first and second words Wb1 and Wb2 is determined using the line space Lg2. Displayed in green as possible (steps A7 and A8).

  Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 9 (C1), the user has selected the line spacing Lg1 immediately above corresponding to the first word Wa1 and the second word Wa2 selected in the previous dependency memo entry process. In a state where the dependency relationship memo Mra is displayed in red, as shown in FIG. 9C2, the first and second words Wb1, which are selected this time before and after the previously selected second word Wa2. Even when Wb2 is located, it is determined that the previous and current dependency relationship positions overlap (step A9 (Yes)).

  Then, a new line space Lg2 is added immediately above the previously added line space Lg1 (step A10), and the dependency relationship memo Mra corresponding to the previous first and second words Wa1 and Wa2 using the line space Lg2 is obtained. In addition to being displayed in red, the dependency relationship notes Mrb corresponding to the current first and second words Wb1 and Wb2 are displayed in green so as to be distinguishable using the line spacing Lg1 (steps A7 and A8).

  Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 9 (D1), the user-selected line spacing Lg1 corresponding to the first word Wa1 and the second word Wa2 selected in the previous dependency memo entry process is selected by the user. In a state where the dependency relationship memo Mra is displayed in red, as shown in FIG. 9 (D2), the previously selected first word Wa1 is used in common with the second word Wa2. Even when the first and second words Wb1 and Wb2 are located, it is determined that the positions of the previous and current dependency relations overlap (step A9 (Yes)).

  Then, a new line space Lg2 is added immediately above the previously added line space Lg1 (step A10), and the dependency relationship memo Mra corresponding to the previous first and second words Wa1 and Wa2 using the line space Lg2 is obtained. In addition to being displayed in red, the dependency relationship notes Mr corresponding to the current first and second words Wb1 and Wb2 are displayed in green so as to be distinguishable using the line spacing Lg1 (steps A7 and A8).

  Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 9 (E1), the user has selected the line spacing Lg1 immediately above corresponding to the first word Wa1 and the second word Wa2 selected in the previous dependency memo entry process. In a state where the dependency relationship memo Mra is displayed in red, as shown in FIG. 9 (E2), the previously selected first word Wa1 is used in common and selected this time outside the second word Wa2. Even when the first and second words Wb1 and Wb2 are located, it is determined that the positions of the previous and current dependency relations overlap (step A9 (Yes)).

  Then, a new line space Lg2 is added immediately above the previously added line space Lg1 (step A10), and the dependency relationship memo Mrb corresponding to the current first and second words Wb1 and Wb2 is obtained using the line space Lg2. It is displayed in green so that it can be distinguished (steps A7, A8).

  Each of the grammar memo mode icons BG displayed in color in association with the word specified as the grammar memo object in accordance with the selection operation of the [part of speech] icon Bp, the [syntax element] icon Bc, and the [dependency] icon Br. Grammar memos Mp, Mc, and Mr (Mra, Mrb) are deleted by touching the [Delete] icon Be for the grammar memo designated by the user (step S15 (Yes) → S16).

  Further, according to the selective switching operation of the [part of speech] icon Bp, the [syntax element] icon Bc, and the [dependency] icon Br, the corresponding grammar memos Mp, Mc, Mr (Mra, Mrb) ) Is displayed in color in association with the item of the text data in the registered data memory 26a in the RAM 26 in accordance with the user operation of the “Register” key (step S17 (Yes)). → S18).

  When the “grammar memo” key 14g of the key input unit 14 is operated by the user to activate the grammar memo mode, the text of the example sentence read from the dictionary database 22b and the text data memory 22c are read out. When the text display screen G is not being displayed by the text of the electronic book or the like (step S1 (No)), the text data item with grammar memo registered in the registration data memory 26a is displayed on the touch panel display unit 16. Are displayed as a list (step S19).

  When an item desired by the user is selected on the item list display screen of text data with grammar memo, the text data with grammar memo of the selected item is read and displayed (step S20).

  Therefore, according to the grammar memo input function of the electronic dictionary device 10 having the above-described configuration, in the text display screen G in which the text data desired by the user is displayed on the touch panel display unit 16, the [part of speech] icon Bp displayed at the left end of the screen. When the user touches the [Syntax Element] icon Bc and the [Dependency] icon Br selectively and designates an arbitrary word for which a grammar memo is to be written in the displayed text, the touched icons Bp, Bc, Br are displayed. A list of memos Lp, Lc, and Lr concerning the corresponding grammar is displayed in a window. When a grammar memo corresponding to the designated word is selected from the list of grammatical memos, a line spacing Lg is inserted immediately above the line of text in which the designated word exists, and the line spacing Lg is used to specify the designation. The selected grammar memo is displayed in association with the word. The text data associated with the grammar memo is registered in the registration data memory 26a so that it can be read and displayed as appropriate.

  For this reason, it is possible to display a grammar-related memo simply in association with a desired word in the text data display screen. And you can easily learn the grammar for various sentences.

  When the [Dependency] icon Br is touch-operated to specify two words as the subject of the dependency grammar memo, another grammar memo of the dependency is already displayed in association with the other words. If there is a word relationship and the other word is in a position that overlaps with the two words specified this time, the dependency grammar memo corresponding to one of the words is inserted directly above. The dependency-related grammar memo corresponding to the other word is displayed using the line spacing Lg2 added above the line spacing Lg1.

  For this reason, even when a plurality of dependency-related grammar notes are mixed, each grammar memo can be clearly displayed in a distinguishable manner and can be effectively learned.

  Note that each processing method by the electronic dictionary device 10 described in the embodiment, that is, the grammar memo mode process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 4, the dependency memo entry process associated with the grammar memo mode process shown in the flowchart of FIG. Each of these methods and various data (22b to 22d) are programs that can be executed by a computer, such as a memory card (ROM card, RAM card, etc.), a magnetic disk (floppy disk, hard disk, etc.), and an optical disk. (CD-ROM, DVD, etc.) can be stored and distributed in an external storage medium 23 such as a semiconductor memory. Then, the computer of the electronic device reads the program stored in the external storage medium 23 into the storage device (22), and the operation is controlled by the read program, so that the arbitrary text data described in the embodiment is used. A grammatical memo input function can be realized, and a similar process can be executed by the method described above.

  Further, program data for realizing each of the above methods can be transmitted on the network N in the form of a program code, and this program data is transmitted to a computer of an electronic device connected to the network N by a communication control unit ( 25), the grammar memo input function for the arbitrary text data described above can be realized.
