Description

  The present invention relates to a language learning tool.

  When learning a foreign language such as English, it is required to store a certain number or more of basic words and basic phrases (spoken phrases) in the original language. Taking the case of learning English as an example, conventionally, in order to memorize English words, for example, many English words are arranged in alphabetical order, for example, as a word book, and arranged in parallel with individual English words. It is common to use what the translation word is displayed.

  In Patent Document 1, a game board having squares and a pattern on the front side are drawn in a size that fits into the squares, and the back side is not displayed so that infants and the like can learn English happily in a game sense. The number of cards turned upside down has been obtained by the person who quickly applied the card with the pattern according to the English word pronounced by the teacher and acquired the right to turn the card over on the game board. There are things that make things become winners of the game.

  Patent Document 2 uses an electronic dictionary, which is a kind of portable information processing device, to store and register searched English words and their translated words, and to make a user-specific consisting of the searched words and their translated words. The one that automatically creates the word book is disclosed.

Non-Patent Document 1 has nothing to do with language learning, but when a picture drawn on paper is viewed by a method called a parallel method or a crossing method, a three-dimensional view of a hidden picture hidden in a picture or a picture can be seen three-dimensionally. What is in a visual state is disclosed. Note that Non-Patent Document 1 is for enjoying the mystery and beauty of images obtained in a stereoscopic state, and does not recognize any relationship with language learning.

  By the way, language learning, such as memorizing and memorizing the original words and their meanings, and learning the spelling of the original words is a simple task, although it is inevitable when learning languages. It is easy to open, and in extreme cases it can be quite painful, making it difficult to obtain a sufficient learning effect.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a language learning tool that can more effectively learn an original language, that is, a foreign language.

  In the present invention, on the display surface, the translated word is displayed in addition to the original word, and an image showing the meaning content of the original word is displayed as necessary, but the original word, the translated word, the image, etc. These display elements are made to appear with unevenness that is in a positional relationship shifted in the front-rear direction, that is, to be viewed three-dimensionally. For this reason, in the present invention, a stereoscopic state can be obtained when a special viewing method such as a parallel method or a crossing method is used. More specifically, according to the present invention, when the same items are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction, when viewed by the parallel method or the intersection method, the left and right intervals of the same portions arranged on the left and right sides are small. This is based on the principle that when the distance between the left and right sides is large, it appears on the back side (rear side). More specifically, in addition to the same original words, the same translated words or the same images showing the meaning of the original words are arranged side by side in the left and right direction on the same display surface, and the left and right intervals. Is appropriately changed to obtain a stereoscopic state in which display elements such as original words, translated words, and images are appropriately shifted in the front-rear direction. Note that the method of viewing by the parallel method or the crossing method itself is widely known in Patent Document 3, etc., but since the parallel method is a method of viewing from a distance, it is considered good for myopia, so it is particularly common among young people. This is preferable in preventing or suppressing the progress of myopia, and further, a correction effect of myopia can be expected. In addition, the crossing method is said to be good for hyperopia because it looks close (preventing or suppressing presbyopia and correcting presbyopia).

Since the original language and the translated language are in different languages, the original language is the language to be learned (ie foreign language) and the translated language is positioned as the learner's native language. Ru can also.

Hereinafter, each claim in the scope of claims will be described.
First, in order to achieve the above object, the following solution is adopted. That is,
A language learning tool configured to display an original language, a translation of the original language, and an image representing the meaning of the language on the same display surface,
The same original language is displayed in multiple numbers of 3 or more at regular intervals in the normal viewing state.
The same translated words are displayed in a normal state, shifted vertically so that they do not overlap with multiple original words, and more than two are displayed at intervals in the left-right direction.
A plurality of the same images are displayed in the right-and-left direction with three or more images in the normal viewing state.
Among the plurality of display elements indicating the original word, the translated word, and the image , the left and right intervals at the left end positions of some display elements are set to be different from the left and right intervals at the left end positions of other display elements. Thus, when viewing the display surface by a parallel method or a crossing method, a part of the display elements are viewed in a stereoscopic view with respect to other display elements, and the stereoscopic state is set. There are two or more display elements in the left-right direction,
It is like that.

According to the above solution, the person who looks at the display surface, that is, the language learner, looks at the display surface in a concentrated manner in order to view the parallel method or the crossing method. The associated memory can be effectively performed. In addition, since learning is performed while experiencing a mysterious phenomenon that is rarely experienced in daily life in a stereoscopic state, it can be enjoyed and learned, which further enhances the learning effect. Of course, the use of images can make learning more enjoyable and more effective. In addition to the above, the brain can be used more effectively to improve the learning effect.

A preferable aspect based on the solution method described in claim 1 is as described in claims 2 to 10 in the claims. That is,
When the display surface is visually observed by the parallel method or the intersection method, a stereoscopic view state in which at least a part of the display elements of the original word or the translated word appears to be shifted in the front-rear direction with respect to the image (see FIG. (Corresponding to claim 2 ). In this case, the original word or the translated word appears to be shifted in the front-rear direction with respect to the image, and the recognition of the original word or the translated word is enhanced while using the image as a background or foreground to perform more effective learning. be able to.

In the previous Symbol stereoscopic state,
All of the source words appear to be on the same plane,
All of the translations appear to be on the same plane,
All of the images appear to be on the same plane,
It is set so that at least one of the original language plane and the translation word plane appears to be shifted in the front-rear direction with respect to the image plane.
(Corresponding to claim 3 ). In this case, using the image as a background or foreground, the original words appear together on the same plane and the translated words appear together on the same plane. This is preferable.

The original word and the translated word are all displayed so as to overlap each other on the image when viewed normally (corresponding to claim 4 ). In this case, it is preferable to reduce the entire display area when displaying the original word, the translated word, and the image.

When viewed normally, a plurality of original word columns, a plurality of translated word columns, and a plurality of image columns are displayed so as to be shifted from each other in the vertical direction (corresponding to claim 5). . In this case, the original words, the translated words, and the images are arranged in an orderly manner that is shifted in the vertical direction, which is preferable for enhancing the learning effect.

On the display surface, phonetic symbols of the same original language are displayed vertically and shifted in the vertical direction so that they do not overlap with the translated language, and a plurality of 3 or more are displayed at intervals in the horizontal direction. And
In the stereoscopic view state, the phonetic symbol is set so as to appear shifted in the front-rear direction with respect to at least one of the original word, the translated word, and the image.
(Corresponding to claim 6). In this case, phonetic symbols can also be stored effectively.

The numbers of original words, translated words, and images are set to be equal to each other (corresponding to claim 7 ). In this case, many display elements can be brought into a stereoscopic state, and language learning can be performed more enjoyably.

The original language is assumed to have vowels,
In the stereoscopic state, the vowel characters in the original language are set so as to appear to be shifted in the front-rear direction with respect to the consonant characters in the original language.
This is done (corresponding to claim 8). In this case, it is preferable to make the position of the vowel clearly recognized by three-dimensionalization and to effectively store the spelling of the original word.

The original language is assumed to have vowels,
In the stereoscopic state, only the specific vowel that is the first accent in the original word is set so as to appear to be shifted in the front-rear direction with respect to other characters in the original word.
(Corresponding to claim 9). In this case, it is preferable to clearly recognize the position having the first accent and to learn the pronunciation of the original language.

The original language is assumed to have vowels,
The colors of all vowel characters in the original language are set to be different from the colors of the consonant characters in the original language.
(Corresponding to claim 10). In this case, it is preferable to clearly recognize the position of the vowel by color coding and to effectively store the spelling of the original word.

  Other advantages and effects of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description of embodiments.

  According to the present invention, foreign language learning can be performed more effectively.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described. In all of the embodiments, the original language is “English” and the translation is “Japanese”. First, in FIG. 1, the surface of the drawing sheet of the present application, which is a thin sheet, is a display surface 1. On the display surface 1, the original language (original language character) 2 of “chimney” and its translated word “chimney” ”And an image 4 in which the meaning of the original word 2 (translation word 3) is expressed by an image. As the image 4, it is possible to adopt an image in an appropriate format that can visually grasp the meaning content without using characters, such as a photograph, a picture, an illustration, and a cartoon.

  In FIG. 1, a plurality of images 4 are displayed at intervals in the left-right direction at the same height position (aligning the height position of the upper end). A plurality of the original words 2 are displayed at a position below the image 4 and at the same height position with an interval in the left-right direction. A plurality of translated words 3 are displayed at intervals in the left-right direction at a position below the original word 2 and at the same height. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the original word 2, the translated word 3, and the image 4 are displayed three by three, and the numbers are equal to each other. The translated word 3 is displayed immediately below the two original words 2. The plurality of original words 2 have the same contents (replicated relationship), the plurality of translated words 3 have the same contents (replicated relationship), and a plurality of images. 4 has exactly the same content (replicated relationship with each other). A plurality of original words 2 are displayed so as not to overlap each other, a plurality of translated words 3 are displayed so as not to overlap each other, and a plurality of images 4 are displayed so as not to overlap each other. The images 4 are also displayed so as not to overlap each other.

FIG. 2 is for explaining the setting contents of FIG. 1. In FIG. 2 and subsequent figures, which is the original language, which is the translated word, and which is the image among the contents displayed in the drawing. Since it is clear, the signs “2”, “3” to “4” indicating the original language, the translated word, and the image are omitted. In FIG. 2, the display mode of the original word, the translated word, and the image itself is exactly the same as that in FIG. In FIG. 2, the left and right intervals between adjacent images are indicated by P1 and P2 (if the number of images is 4 or more, P3, P4... Pn are further provided), and left and right between adjacent original words The direction intervals are indicated by W1 and W2 (when the number of original words is 4 or more, W3, W4. If the number of words is 4 or more, Y3, Y4. In the example of FIG. 2, P1 ≠ P2, W1 ≠ W2, and Y1 ≠ Y2. In order to obtain a stereoscopic state by the parallel method, it is not preferable to make Pn, Wn, and Yn too large, and it is preferable to set them to 9 cm or less. As can be seen from FIG. 2, the horizontal intervals P1, P2... Pn, W1, W2... Wn and Y1, Y2. This is the interval between the left end positions of the image (this is the same in the case of FIG. 7 described later).

When FIG. 2 (the same applies to FIG. 1) is viewed from the front by the parallel method or the intersection method, the positional relationship is shifted in the front-rear direction (perpendicular to the page) for each original word, each translated word, and each image. A visible stereoscopic state is obtained (the object is stereoscopically viewed in irregularities). More specifically, among the four sets of “image, original word, and translated word” that can be seen when viewed by the parallel method or the intersection method, the two pairs at the center are in a stereoscopic state that appears to be shifted in the front-rear direction. . Note that the parallel method is a method of viewing the display surface 1 with a gaze that looks far away on the back surface side of the display surface 1 (the focal point of the eyes is far). In addition, the intersection method is a method of looking at the display surface 1 with a gaze that is sufficiently closer to the front side of the paper than the display surface 1 (the focus of the eyes is immediately close to the eyes, such as when looking near the nose of itself). Will be near). When the stereoscopic state is reached, the number of original words, translated words, and images appears to be one more than the number actually displayed (in the examples of FIGS. 1 and 2, the original words, translated words, 4 images can be seen each). In addition, the relationship between the parallel method and the intersection method is uneven as the one that appeared concave (position on the far side in the front-rear direction) when viewed by the parallel method appears convex (the front side in the front-rear direction) in the cross method. Is reversed. In order to obtain a stereoscopic state, it is necessary to get used to the viewing method by the parallel method or the intersection method to some extent. The time required to obtain the stereoscopic viewing state often takes several tens of seconds to several minutes if the user is not used to stereoscopic viewing, but only a short time of several seconds to several tens of seconds is required if they are used to stereoscopic viewing.

  In order to achieve the stereoscopic viewing state, a person who looks at the display surface 1, that is, a language learner, concentrates his / her feelings and looks at the display surface 1, and the concentration is greatly improved. In this way, learning can be performed in a state where the concentration is improved, and the memory in which the original words and the translated words are associated can be effectively performed. In addition, since learning is performed while experiencing a mysterious phenomenon that is rarely experienced in daily life in a stereoscopic state, it can be enjoyed and learned, which further enhances the learning effect. Furthermore, the content of the original word (translated word) is strongly memorized using an image, and the learning effect can be further enhanced. The parallel method is considered to be good for myopia because it is a way of looking far away, so it is preferable for preventing or suppressing the progression of myopia, especially in younger people, and it is also expected to have a correction effect on myopia. It will be possible. In addition, the crossing method is said to be good for hyperopia because it looks close (preventing or suppressing presbyopia and correcting presbyopia). In normal learning, the left brain works actively, but there is a possibility that the right brain can be expected to work actively when performing stereoscopic viewing.

FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of the present invention and shows a modification of FIG. 1 and FIG. In the embodiment of FIG. 3 , the displayed original words, translated words, and images themselves are the same as those displayed in FIGS. 1 and 2, but the number thereof is five. In the case of FIG. 3, the horizontal intervals between the plurality of images are set to be equal to each other, the horizontal intervals between the plurality of original words are set to be equal to each other, and the horizontal intervals between the plurality of translated words are set to be equal to each other. ing. More specifically, P1 = P2 = P3 = P4 when the left and right intervals between adjacent images are sequentially set to P1, P2, P3, and P4 from left to right, and the left and right between adjacent original words When the direction intervals are sequentially set W1, W2, W3, and W4 from left to right, W1 = W2 = W3 = W4, and the left-right direction interval between adjacent translation words is sequentially Y1 from left to right. , Y2, Y3, and Y4, Y1 = Y2 = Y3 = Y4. Pn ≠ Wn ≠ Yn (n is a suffix of 1, 2, 3,...) And Pn>Wn> Yn. From the relationship of Pn>Wn> Yn, when viewed in parallel by the parallel method, the character “chimney” that is the translation word is seen on the front side (front side), the image is seen on the back side, and the original word “chimney”. Is seen at a middle position in the front-rear direction (in the stereoscopic view in the crossing method, the positional relationship in the front-rear direction is opposite to the stereoscopic view in the parallel method). In FIG. 3, six sets of “image, original word, and translated word” are seen in the left-right direction in the stereoscopic state, but the four sets at the center appear to be shifted in the front-rear direction.

  FIG. 4 shows a third embodiment of the present invention and corresponds to a modification of FIG. In the embodiment of FIG. 4, the color of vowel characters and the color of consonant characters are made different from each other in the original language consisting of alphabets. That is, “c, h, m, n, y” that are consonant characters are all the same color of a specific color (for example, black), while “i, e” that are vowel characters are different from consonant characters, respectively. Color (for example, red) is set. In FIG. 4, since the drawing is a monochrome display, the color difference between the vowel character and the consonant character is shown by the density of the character (difference between dark color and light color). In FIG. 4, the specific vowel character “i” as the first accent is drawn largest and thick, and the vowel character “e” as the second accent is drawn thick so as to improve the distinguishability from other characters. (Only one of the size and the thickness may be changed by identification based on the size and the thickness).

  In FIG. 4, only a specific vowel character serving as the first accent among a plurality of vowel characters may be made different from the color of other vowel characters and the color of consonant characters. More specifically, for example, the specific vowel character “i” serving as the first accent is red, for example, the vowel character “e” other than the first accent is green, and all the consonant characters are black, for example. Can do. Further, only the color of a specific vowel character “i” as the first accent can be made different from the color of other characters (the vowel character “e” other than the first accent and the consonant character have the same color). ) Further, when the original language includes three or more vowel characters, the color of all vowel characters is set to a color different from that of the consonant characters (the consonant characters are all set to the same color, for example, black), and becomes the first accent. The color of the specific vowel character, the color of the vowel character serving as the second accent, and the color of other vowel characters may be different from each other (improvement of discrimination of all vowel characters and the first accent) A vowel character and a vowel character as the second accent are further identified in the vowel character).

FIG. 5 shows a reference example . Characters indicating the original word are displayed as “pineapple”, and characters indicating the translated word are displayed as “pineapple” below the original word, and the meaning content of the original word (translated word). Is displayed above the original language. In the embodiment of FIG. 5, the characters of the original language are all the same color (for example, black), but the first specific vowel character “i” with the first accent and the second specific in the middle with the second accent. Two characters of the vowel character “a” are set so as to appear shifted in the front-rear direction with respect to other characters. More specifically, among the three original words displayed at intervals in the left-right direction, “i” of the left original word, “i” of the middle original word, and “i” of the right original word “left and right” The interval is set to be smaller (shorter) than the interval in the left-right direction of characters other than “i”. Moreover, although the space | interval in the left-right direction between 2nd specific vowel characters "a" used as a 2nd accent is larger than the space | interval in the left-right direction between said "i", the space | interval of the left-right direction of other characters It is set to be smaller. Thus, in the stereoscopic viewing state by the parallel method, among the characters constituting the original language, the character “i” is seen closest to the front, and the character “a” that is the second specific vowel character is next to the front. Visible, other characters will be seen on the back side, and accented vowel characters will be highlighted in front. In order to allow the accented vowel characters to be seen in the foreground in the cross-view stereoscopic state, the horizontal interval between the “i” s is maximized, and the “a” s are separated from each other. Is set to be the smallest in the left-right direction interval and the smallest left-right direction interval between the other characters.

  In the example of FIG. 5, except for the characters “i” and “a” are set to be in the same plane in the stereoscopic state, but as described in the examples of FIGS. And the original language can be set so that they appear on different planes.

  FIG. 6 shows the fourth embodiment of the present invention. In the example of FIG. 5, the color of the first specific vowel character “i” and the second specific vowel character “a” among the characters constituting the original language are shown. Is made different from the color of other characters (for example, black). In addition, the first specific vowel character “i” and the second specific vowel character “a” are drawn thicker and larger than other characters (thickness or size can be identified by identification based on thickness and size). Only one of them may be changed).

  In the example of FIG. 6, the color of the first specific vowel character “i” may be different from the color of the second specific vowel character “a”. For example, the color of the first specific vowel character can be dark red, and the color of the second specific vowel character can be light red. Also, the color of the first specific vowel character “i” may be red, for example, and the color of the second specific vowel character “a” may be green, for example.

FIG. 7 shows a fifth embodiment of the present invention in which an original word and a translated word are displayed over an image. That is, the original language is “glen”, the translated word is “valley”, and the image is composed of a photograph of the valley. In FIG. 8, the horizontal intervals between adjacent images are set equal to each other (P1 = P2 = P3 = P4), and the horizontal intervals between adjacent original words are set equal to each other (W1 = W2 = W3 = W4), the horizontal intervals between adjacent translation words are set to be equal to each other (Y1 = Y2 = Y3 = Y4). Pn>Yn> Wn. When viewed in parallel using the parallel method, the original word “glen” appears on the front side (front side), the image appears on the back side, and the translated word “gorge” appears in the middle in the front-rear direction. (In the stereoscopic viewing state by the intersection method, the positional relationship in the front-rear direction is opposite to the stereoscopic viewing state by the parallel method). In this embodiment, the color of “e” that is a vowel character in the original language is set to, for example, red, and each character of “g, l, n,” that is a consonant character is set to, for example, black ( Color difference setting between vowel characters and consonant characters). In the present embodiment, since the original word and the translated word are displayed over the image, the display area can be reduced as a whole, and the image can be displayed in a larger size compared to the case where they are displayed so as not to overlap. can do. Furthermore, in this embodiment, since adjacent images are displayed so as to be in contact with each other (because they are displayed without a gap), a plurality of images can be recognized as one large image as a whole. it can.

FIG. 8 shows a sixth embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, “intelligent” is displayed as the original word, “intelligent” is displayed as the translated word, a person with an intelligent face is displayed as an image, and a phonetic symbol of the original word is further displayed. . In the present embodiment, a plurality of sets (four in the embodiment) are displayed with a set of original words, translated words, images, and phonetic symbols spaced apart in the left-right direction. Are drawn on the same background 5 (part of a color slightly darker than the color of the drawing paper).

FIG. 9 shows a reference example . A plurality of combinations of original words and their translations are provided on the same display surface (corresponding to the surface of the drawing paper of the present application) with an interval in the vertical direction (in the embodiment, four types). ) Display. That is, the top is the combination of the original word “abstruse” and the translated word “difficult”, the second from the top is the combination of the original word “elate” and the translated word “encourage”, the third from the top, This is a combination of the original word “ablate” and the translated word “remove”, and at the bottom is a combination of the original word “differentiate” and the translated word “identify / differentiate”. Each original language has a different color between vowel characters and consonant characters. In a combination of each original word and its translated word, in a stereoscopic view state, some display elements out of a plurality of display elements composed of the original word and the translated word have a positional relationship shifted in the front-rear direction with respect to the other display elements. To be visible. In the present embodiment, a large number of “combinations of original words and their translated words” are displayed on one display surface.

  10 to 13 show setting examples of the display surface 1. FIG. 10 shows a display surface 1 using the surface of a thin sheet body 21 such as a drawing sheet of the present application, and displays at least the original language and translated words. Each sheet body 21 is individually independent. Yes. A large number of sheet bodies 21 on which original words and translated words are displayed are prepared, and many original words are stored in association with the translated words. The example of FIG. 10 is suitable for a large sheet body 21, that is, when displaying the original language and the translated word displayed on the sheet body 21 (in particular, for infants, it corresponds to the meaning content of the original language). It is preferable to display the images together).

  In FIG. 11, a connection hole 22 is formed at the end of the sheet body 21 on which the original language and the translation word are displayed, and a large number of sheet bodies 21 are joined together by a binder 23 using the connection hole 22. The sheet body 21 can be bound and separated, and the sheet body 21 can be added or removed as appropriate. The binder 23 includes, for example, a back cover 23 a, an elongated insertion portion 23 b that is fixed to the back cover 23 a and can be bent and deformed, and is inserted into the connection hole 23, and a presser 23 c. The presser 23c has a through hole 23d through which the insertion portion 23b is inserted, and a slide type slide member 23e for bending and locking the insertion portion 23b inserted through the through hole 23d. In the embodiment, the binder 23 does not have a spine and a front cover, but may have a spine and a front cover.

  FIG. 12 shows a single book 25 formed by assembling a large number of sheet bodies 21 on which original words and translated words are displayed (each sheet body 21 cannot be separated independently), It corresponds to a so-called general word book. That is, the book 25 includes a back cover 25a, a spine cover 25b, and a front cover 25c, and a large number of sheet bodies 21 are sandwiched between the cover sheets 25a and 25c. The end is fixed to the spine 25b by adhesion or the like.

  FIG. 13 shows the display screen 1 as an openable display screen 32 in a notebook personal computer 31 as an information processing apparatus. The display screen 32 is configured in the manner shown in FIGS. Thus, the original language, the translated word, the image, etc. are displayed. That is, the personal computer 31 stores a large number of display contents as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 9 in advance as a dictionary, for example. An item is selected and displayed on the display screen 32 with the selected content. More specifically, for example, by selecting the dictionary mode (starting the dictionary program) by operating the keyboard 33, selecting the stereoscopic mode, and then typing the term “chimney” (in the case of English-Japanese) ), Or by typing the term “chimney” (in the case of Japanese and English), the entered term is collated with a dictionary stored in advance, and the display content as shown in FIG. 32 is displayed. In addition to using the personal computer 31 as an information processing apparatus, an appropriate information processing apparatus having a display screen 32 can be used. For example, a PDA (personal digital assistant), a game machine, an electronic dictionary, etc. Display contents as shown in FIGS. 1 to 9 can be displayed on the display screen. In particular, when a display screen of a portable information processing device such as a notebook personal computer, a PDA, or an electronic dictionary is used as the display surface 1, it is preferable for language learning during commuting to school or during commuting. .

  Although the embodiment has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment, and can be appropriately changed within the scope described in the scope of claims. For example, the invention includes the following cases. . The displayed original language is not limited to English, but can be the original language of an appropriate country such as German, French, Spanish, Korean, Chinese, etc. Similarly, the displayed translated language is Japanese. The translation language is not limited to English, German, French, Spanish, Korean, Chinese, etc. As long as the original language is displayed, other display contents can be selected as appropriate. For example, not only the original language and the translated language but also the original language, the translated language, and the phonetic symbol may be displayed.

  The original word is not limited to a word but may be a phrase (phrase). For example, “be anle to” is displayed as a phrase of the original word, and “can be done” is displayed as a translated word. In the case of a phrase, if it becomes longer, it is not limited to the case where the display of the original word (translated word is the same) is displayed, for example, one phrase is divided into two upper and lower stages. Can also be displayed. It is also possible to display a plurality of translated words for one original word. The display elements of the original word, the translated word, the image, and the phonetic symbol may be set so that the number of some display elements is different from the number of other display elements without being set to the same number. The number of display elements such as original words and translation words written side by side in the left-right direction may be two or more in order to obtain a stereoscopic state, but sufficient to obtain a stereoscopic state and provide a sufficient stereoscopic effect. For enjoyment, it is preferably 3 or more. If the number is too large, the display surface becomes too large in the horizontal direction, or the field of view becomes too wide in the left-right direction to obtain a stereoscopic state. It is preferable to set.

  As the display surface, for example, an appropriate surface such as a surface of a table cloth, a surface of a place mat, or a surface of a turning calendar can be used. Further, as an image, a pair of left and right images taken by a stereoscopic camera may be displayed, and a plurality of such a pair of left and right pairs are arranged in the left and right direction. (In this case, the stereoscopic effect of the image itself can be obtained with one set of images, and in the stereoscopic viewing state, the images can be moved in the front-rear direction in the stereoscopic state by setting the difference in the horizontal interval of each set. It is also possible to obtain a state that looks out of place.) Of course, the object of the present invention is not limited to what is explicitly stated, but also implicitly includes providing what is substantially preferred or expressed as an advantage.
