Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an electronic dictionary that integrates a dictionary of Japanese, English-Japanese, Japanese-English, and katakana, and a calculator function.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, the key arrangement of an electronic dictionary is such that an answer is obtained from a display unit by inputting a character or a numerical value and pressing a translation or e-call key, as in indexing a dictionary. In particular, open input keys are often arranged in the order of the Japanese syllabary from upper right to lower, such as "Aioe". Also, since various keys such as numeric keys and four arithmetic keys for calculation are keys for the main purpose, for example, numeric keys are small in a row from 1 to 9, 0 in a line from upper left to upper right keyboard. Printed and arranged. Answers to the dictionary index and the calculation result are displayed on the display unit, and most of them are provided with a liquid crystal panel or the like.

As shown in FIG. 5, in a conventional electronic dictionary, a liquid crystal panel 10 as a display unit and a keyboard 20 are provided. The keyboard 20 includes a power input key 21, a calculator switching key 22, a yen rate setting key 23, a dollar rate setting key 24, a dictionary switching (Japanese / English / Japanese / English / Katakana dictionary) key 25, and a tax-included key. A tax rate confirmation key 26, a tax exemption / tax rate setting key 27, a clear key 28, a delete key 29, a translation key 30, a long tone key 31, a small letter key 32, and a hiragana or English Character keys etc. are arranged.

As shown in FIG. 4, when the dictionary switch (Japanese / English / Japanese / English / Katakana dictionary) key 25 is pressed to switch between English and Japanese, the hiragana key is switched to the English character printed on the keyboard 20. The letters are arranged close to the JIS arrangement.

[0005] As shown in FIG. 3, regarding calculator calculations, a power input key 21, a calculator switching key 22, a yen rate setting key 23, a dollar rate setting key 24, a tax / tax rate confirmation key 26, A tax exemption / tax rate setting key 27 and the like are arranged, and by switching with the calculator switching key 22, the numerical value and the symbol printed on the keyboard 20 are switched. As the numeric keys 33, 1 to 9, 0 are printed on the keyboard 20 in the order of the characters "n, la, ya, ma, ha, na, ta, ka, a" on the key top surface in one row above the open key. ing . The character "clear" on the key top surface is arranged so as to be switched to a printed decimal point key 43 and the character "small character" to a C (clear) key 44.

Further, by switching with the calculator switching key 22, when the character on the key top surface is “R”, the all clear key 34, when the character “A” is, the memory clear key 35, and when the character “M” is For the memory recall key 36, the character "HO", the memory minus key 37, for the character "NO", the memory plus key 38, and for the character "TO, SO, KO", the arithmetic key 39 The character "K" is arranged to be switched to a root key 40, the character "E" is switched to a percent key 41, and the character "Translation" is switched to an ECO key 42 or the like.

[0007]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 If a person who has used a calculator or numeric keypad performs calculations using an electronic dictionary, he / she may be confused that the layout of numeric keys such as calculators and numeric keys is different from the familiar ones, and perform calculations with due care. Will be. Because of the unfamiliar key layout, key input is repeated many times to check the calculation result in order to avoid key input errors.

[0008] In view of the above-mentioned conventional disadvantages, the present invention has a key arrangement with high working efficiency that does not cause embarrassment in arithmetic operation by switching to a calculator, even for an electronic dictionary. It aims to provide an electronic dictionary.
