Description

  The present invention relates to an information display device and a program.

  Conventionally, as a method for learning a word, there is a method in which a word is decomposed into each word component of an affix and a stem and learned based on the word source of each word component. When a word is learned by this method, the word can be effectively understood and learned from a word source (a word source indicating the meaning of each word component) of the word. Further, in recent information display devices, when displaying the description information of a certain headword, a word including a word component of the same word source as the headword (a word common to a certain headword and the word source) It is displayed in association with the headword (for example, see Patent Document 1).

  By the way, as a word learning method, there is also a method of learning synonyms, antonyms, derivative words, and the like collectively. A word book in which synonyms, antonyms, derivative words, and the like are collectively described is commercially available, and this word book can be used as a learning tool by the method.

In the present embodiment, the synonym word may be a word including a word component of the same word source as that of a certain word, or a word of the same word source as a certain word itself. May be.

[1.3 Operation]
Next, the operation of the electronic dictionary 1 will be described with reference to the drawings.

  3 and 4 are flowcharts showing the flow of the word display process in which the CPU 20 reads and executes the word display processing program 81.

  As shown in FIG. 3, in the word display process, first, the CPU 20 determines whether or not the learning word collection database 822 is selected as a use target by a user operation (step S1), and when it is determined that it is not selected (step S1). ; No) shifts to another process.

  When it is determined in step S1 that the learning word collection database 822 has been selected as a use target (step S1; Yes), the CPU 20 displays a list of learning functions that can be used in the learning word collection database 822 on the main display 10. It is displayed (step S2). In the present embodiment, as a learning function that can be used in the learning word collection database 822, at least a “search word from word source” function is used.

  Next, the CPU 20 determines whether or not the “search word from word source” function is selected (step S3). If it is determined that the function is not selected (step S3; No), the process proceeds to another process.

  If it is determined in step S3 that the “search word from source” function is selected (step S3; Yes), the CPU 20 designates the last displayed word as a designated word using the function. The explanation information of the designated word is read from the learned word collection database 822 and displayed on the main display 10 (step S4). At this time, the CPU 20 displays a check box B (see FIG. 6B) at the end of the main display 10 and determines whether or not the designated word is checked from the learned word collection database 822. Read and reflect in check box B.

  Next, the CPU 20 displays a check icon Ic and a mandala icon Im on the end portion of the main display 10 to determine whether or not a touch operation is performed on the check icon Ic (step S5). When it determines (step S5; No), it transfers to below-mentioned step S7. Here, the check icon Ic is an icon operated to switch whether or not the check box B is checked. The mandala icon Im is an icon that is operated to arrange words that are common to the designated word and the word source in a mandala shape (matrix shape).

  If it is determined in step S5 that the touch operation has been performed on the check icon Ic (step S5; Yes), the CPU 20 switches whether the specified word is checked (ON / OFF) and reflects it in the check box B. (Step S6). At this time, the CPU 20 stores the check word after the switching in the learning word collection database 822 in association with the designated word. Further, at this time, the CPU 20 accumulates and stores the checked words in the word book table 83.

  Next, the CPU 20 determines whether or not a touch operation is performed on the mandala icon Im (step S7). When it is determined that the touch operation is not performed (step S7; No), another operation is performed. Is determined (step S8).

  If it is determined in step S8 that another operation has been performed (step S8; Yes), the CPU 20 proceeds to processing according to the operation (for example, voice output processing, display content scroll processing, etc.), If it is determined that no other operation is performed (step S8; No), the process proceeds to step S5 described above.

  If it is determined in step S7 that a touch operation has been performed on the mandala icon Im (step S7; Yes), the CPU 20 searches the learning word collection database 822 for the word source of each word component in the specified word. Then, it is determined whether or not the word source of the word constituent portion exists (step S9).

  If it is determined in step S9 that the word source of the word component is present (step S9; Yes), the CPU 20 divides the display area of the main display 10 vertically and horizontally in a grid pattern to obtain a total of nine divided display areas. A (see FIG. 6C), and among these divided display areas A, the designated word, the translation of the designated word, and the designated word are displayed in the central divided display area A1 displayed at the center of the main display 10. A list of word components and word sources of each of the plurality of word components is displayed (step S10).

  Next, the CPU 20 selects any one word source selected by the user operation from the word sources displayed in the list in the central divided display area A1, that is, the word source of any word constituent part as the selected word source (step S1). S11), as shown in FIG. 4, the process proceeds to step S21 to be described later. Further, in this step S11, the CPU 20 causes the word component corresponding to the selected word source among the designated words in the central divided display area A1 to be identified and displayed in a predetermined color (in this embodiment, red).

  As shown in FIG. 3, when it is determined in step S9 that the word source of the word component does not exist (step S9; No), the CPU 20 selects the word source of the designated word itself as the selected word source ( Step S12). In step S12, the CPU 20 divides the display area of the main display 10 vertically and horizontally to form a total of nine divided display areas A, and the designated word and the designated word are displayed in the central divided display area A1. A list of translations and word sources of the designated word are displayed, and the entire designated word in the central divided display area A1 is identified and displayed in a predetermined color (red in the present embodiment). When the designated word is an English word, Latin or Greek word origins can be cited as the origin of the designated word itself.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the CPU 20 performs the same word source extraction process (step S21).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, in this synonym word extraction process, first, the CPU 20 stores the first word among the words stored in the learning word collection database 822 (hereinafter referred to as learning words). The learned words thus set are set as extraction candidate words (hereinafter referred to as extraction candidate words) (step T1).

  Next, the CPU 20 searches the word candidate dictionary database 821 for extraction candidate words (step T2).

  Next, the CPU 20 determines whether or not the extraction candidate word is the same word source word having the same word source as the selected word source, based on the word source associated with the extraction candidate word in the dictionary database with word source 821 ( If it is determined in step T3) that the word is not the same word source word (step T3; No), the process proceeds to step T5 described later. In this step T3, when the selected word source is the word source of the word component, the CPU 20 determines whether or not the extraction candidate word is the same word source word including the word component of the same word source as the selected word source.

  If it is determined in step T3 that the extraction candidate word is the same word source word having the same word source as the selected word source (step T3; Yes), the CPU 20 stores the extraction candidate word in the same word source word storage table 901. It is stored as an etymological word (step T4).

  Next, the CPU 20 determines whether or not other learning words are stored behind the extraction candidate words in the learning word collection database 822, that is, whether or not all learning words are set as extraction candidate words ( Step T5).

  If it is determined in step T5 that another learning word is stored in the learning word collection database 822 (step T5; Yes), the CPU 20 selects the next extraction candidate word at the current time in the learning word collection database 822. The learning word stored at the position is set as a new extraction candidate word (step T6), and the process proceeds to step T2. Thereafter, by repeating the processing of steps T2 to T6, among the words stored in the learned word collection database 822, the word associated with the same word source as the designated word is extracted as the same word source word by the dictionary database with word source 821. And stored in the same word source word storage table 901.

  If it is determined in step T5 that no other learning word is stored behind the extraction candidate word in the learning word collection database 822 (step T5; No), the CPU 20 stores the same word source word storage table 901. The same word source words are rearranged in the order of importance in the learned word collection database 822 (step T7), and the word source word extraction process is terminated.

  When the above synonym source word extraction processing is completed, the CPU 20 next determines whether or not the setting of the check narrowing mode is “OFF” as shown in FIG. 4 (step S22). Here, the check refinement mode is a mode in which a word with a check “Yes” or a word with a check “No” is preferentially displayed. When the check narrowing mode is “OFF”, it means that a word is displayed regardless of whether or not it is checked.

  If it is determined in step S22 that the setting of the check narrowing mode is “OFF” (step S22; Yes), the CPU 20 displays the same word source word stored in the same word source word storage table 901 on the main display. The nine divided display areas A formed in 10 are displayed one by one in the eight peripheral divided display areas A2 different from the central divided display area A1 and displayed as a list (step S28). Transition. Further, in this step S28, the CPU 20 reads the translation of the same word source word in each peripheral divided display area A2 and the word source of each word component in the same word source word from the word source dictionary database 821, It is displayed in the divided display area A2. Furthermore, in this step S28, the CPU 20 identifies and displays the word component corresponding to the selected word source in a predetermined color (in this embodiment, red) among the word component parts of the same word source word in the peripheral divided display area A2. .

  Further, when it is determined in step S22 that the setting of the check narrowing mode is not “OFF”, that is, “ON” (step S22; No), the CPU 20 stores in the synonym word storage table 901. Whether or not each of the same-word source words is checked is read from the learning word collection database 822, and the same-word words in the same-word source word storage table 901 are checked with the word “check” and the check “none”. Are arranged in the order of importance in the learning word collection database 822 (step S23).

  Next, the CPU 20 determines whether or not the setting of the check narrowing mode is “unchecked word priority” (step S24), and determines that it is “unchecked word priority” (step S24; Yes), the same word source words stored in the same word source word storage table 901 are displayed one by one in the eight peripheral divided display areas A2 in the main display 10 so that the same word source words without check are displayed with priority. After the display and the list display (step S25), the process proceeds to step S31 described later.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S24 that the setting of the check narrowing mode is not “priority for unchecked words”, that is, “priority for checked words” is set (step S24; No), the CPU 20 checks The same word source words stored in the same word source word storage table 901 are displayed one by one in the eight peripheral divided display areas A2 in the main display 10 so that the existing same word words are displayed with priority. (Step S26).

  In these steps S25 and S26, the CPU 20 reads from the dictionary database 821 with word source the translation of the same word source word in each peripheral divided display area A2 and the word source of each word component in the same word source word. It is displayed in the corresponding peripheral division display area A2. Further, in steps S25 and S26, the CPU 20 identifies and displays the word component corresponding to the selected word source in a predetermined color (red in the present embodiment) among the word component parts of the same word source word in the peripheral divided display area A2. Let Then, by these steps S25 and S26 and the above-described step S11, the word components that are included in both the designated word and the synonym source word are identified and displayed.

  Next, the CPU 20 identifies and displays the selected word source in each divided display area A with a predetermined color (in this embodiment, red) (step S31). At this time, the CPU 20 displays a reference icon Is for instructing display of the explanation information on the end of the main display 10.

  Next, the CPU 20 determines whether any of the same word source words displayed in the peripheral division display area A2 is specified by a user operation (step S32), and determines that it is specified (step S32; In Yes), after the word is designated as the designated word, the process proceeds to step S9 as shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 4, when it is determined in step S32 that no homologous word is designated by the user operation (step S32; No), the CPU 20 changes the setting content of the check narrowing mode by the user operation. It is determined whether or not a touch operation has been performed on the check icon Ic (step S33). Here, the setting contents of the check narrowing mode are changed in step S33 because the setting contents of the check narrowing mode are three kinds of setting contents, that is, “OFF”, “ON” and “unchecked word priority”. , “ON” and “checked word priority”.

  When it is determined in step S33 that the setting content of the check narrowing mode has been changed, and when the setting content of the check narrowing mode has not been changed, but it is determined that a touch operation has been performed on the check icon Ic (step In S33; Yes), the CPU 20 proceeds to step S22 described above. If it is determined that a touch operation has been performed on the check icon Ic, the CPU 20 switches whether the specified word is checked (ON / OFF) and reflects it in the check box B, and checks the check after switching. The presence / absence is associated with the designated word and stored in the learned word collection database 822, and the checked word is accumulated and stored in the word book table 83, and then the process proceeds to step S22.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S33 that the setting contents of the check narrowing mode are not changed (step S33; No), the CPU 20 selects one of the word sources listed in the central divided display area A1 by the user operation. It is determined whether or not (step S34).

  If it is determined in step S34 that any word source has been selected (step S34; Yes), the CPU 20 proceeds to step S11 described above. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S34 that no word source is selected (step S34; No), the CPU 20 determines whether or not the reference icon Is is touched by a user operation (step S35). If it is determined that the reference icon Is has been touched (step S35; Yes), the process proceeds to step S4 described above. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S35 that the reference icon Is has not been touched (step S35; No), the CPU 20 proceeds to another process.

[1.4 Operation example]
Next, the operation of the electronic dictionary 1 described above will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.

  First, as shown in FIG. 6A, when the user selects the learning word collection database 822 of “New TOΔΔΔ Test Mastery 2000” as a target of use (step S1; Yes), the learning word collection database 822 uses it. A list of possible learning functions is displayed on the main display 10 (step S2).

  Next, when the user selects the “Find word from word source” function (step S3; Yes), as shown in FIG. 6B, the last displayed word “indicate” is designated using the function. Designated as a word, the explanation information of the designated word is read from the learned word collection database 822 and displayed on the main display 10 (step S4). At this time, a check box B is displayed at the end of the main display 10 and information indicating that the designated word “indicate” is checked is read from the learning word collection database 822 and the check box is checked. B is reflected.

Next, a check icon Ic and a mandala icon Im are displayed at the end of the main display 10.
Next, when the user performs a touch operation on the mandala icon Im (step S7; Yes), as shown in FIG. 6C, each word component in the designated word “indicate” in the learning word collection database 822 After the word sources “in”, “dic”, and “ate” are searched, it is determined that word sources “in”, “dic”, and “ate” exist (step S9; Yes), and the main display 10 A total of nine divided display areas A are formed in the central divided display area A1, and the designated word “indicate”, the translation of the designated word “indicates”, and the word components “in” and “dic” of the designated word. ”,“ Ate ”, and the word sources“ Negated, against, ”,“ declare, show ”,“ make ... ”of each of the plurality of word components. (Step S10).

  Next, from the word sources “Negated, Into”, “Declare, Show”, “To ...” displayed as a list in the central division display area A1, the user has the word source “Negated, in,” Is selected as the selected word source (step S11), among the designated word “indicate” in the central divided display area A1, the word component “in” corresponding to the selected word source “Negative, Into” is identified and displayed in red At the same time, among the words stored in the learning word collection database 822, the word associated with the same word source “deny, against” in the word-source dictionary database 821 is the same word source word. (Step S21). In this operation example, the characters displayed in red are shown in bold.

  Next, after it is determined that the setting of the check narrowing mode is “OFF” (step S22; Yes), as shown in FIG. 6D, eight peripheral divided displays formed on the main display 10 are displayed. The same word source words are displayed one by one in the area A2 and displayed as a list (step S28). At this time, the translation of the same word source word in each peripheral divided display area A2 and the word source of each word component in the same word source word are read from the dictionary database 821 with word source, and the corresponding peripheral divided display area Displayed in A2. Further, at this time, among the word component parts of the same word source word in the peripheral division display area A2, the word component part “in” corresponding to the selected word source “Negatively, Into” is identified and displayed in red.

  Next, the selected word source “Negative, for, inside” in each divided display area A is identified and displayed in red (step S31). At this time, the reference icon Is is displayed at the end of the main display 10. When the user performs a touch operation on the reference icon Is (step S35; Yes), as illustrated in FIG. 6B, the description information of the designated word is displayed again.

  Next, when the user performs a touch operation on the check icon Ic (step S33; Yes), after the check for the designated word “indicate” is switched to “none” and reflected in the check box B, FIG. The same contents as in (d) are displayed.

  Next, when the user performs a touch designation operation on the synonym source word “income” displayed in the peripheral division display area A2 (step S32; Yes), after the word “income” is designated as the designated word. 7A, after the word source “in”, “come” of the designated word “income” is searched in the learned word collection database 822, the word source “in”, It is determined that the word source of “come” exists (step S9; Yes), the designated word “income”, the translation of the designated word “income, income”, and the word component “in” of the designated word are displayed in the central divided display area A1. ”,“ Come ”, and the word sources“ Negative, in contrast to ”and“ coming ”of each of the plurality of word components are displayed in a list. (Step S10).

  Next, when the user selects the word source “Negative, for, against” from the word sources “Negative, for, middle”, “coming” displayed as a list in the central division display area A1 (step S11). ), Among the designated word “income” in the central divided display area A1, the word component “in” corresponding to the selected word source “Negative, Into” is identified and displayed in red, and the learning word collection database 822 Of the words stored in, a word database associated with the specified word “income” is extracted as the same word source word by the dictionary database 821 with the word source (step S21).

  Next, when the user changes the setting content of the check narrowing mode to “ON” and “priority without check” (step S33; Yes), it is determined that the setting of the check narrowing mode is “ON” (step S33). S22; No) After the synonym word is divided into a check “Yes” word and a check “No” word (step S23), the same word source word without check is preferentially displayed. The source words are displayed one by one in the peripheral division display area A2 (step S25). At this time, the translation of the same word source word in each peripheral divided display area A2 and the word source of each word component in the same word source word are read from the dictionary database 821 with word source, and the corresponding peripheral divided display area Displayed in A2. Further, at this time, among the word component parts of the same word source word in the peripheral division display area A2, the word component part “in” corresponding to the selected word source “Negatively, Into” is identified and displayed in red.
