A unified headword table 12e for searching and generating a headword list for all dictionary data managed in the dictionary management table 12d is divided into English (12e1) and Japanese (12e2). In this unified headword table 12e (12e1) (12e2), the storage source medium: dictionary ID (built-in / download / card n ), The dictionary name, and the entry number in each dictionary are stored in association with each other. In this unified headword table 12e (12e1) (12e2), new dictionary data is downloaded from the CD-ROM (external storage medium) 13a or the Web server 30, or new dictionary data cards (1) 16a, (2). Each time 16b,... Are connected, the headword list table of the individual dictionary data is unified into the previous single headword table (main body headword table) 12e (12e1) (12e2). Created and updated.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a creation state (part 1) of the unified headword table 12e executed in accordance with the table creation processing program 12b of the portable device (electronic dictionary) 10.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a creation state (part 2) of the unitary entry word table 12e executed in accordance with the table creation processing program 12b of the portable device (electronic dictionary) 10.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 3A, addition of dictionary data by downloading from a CD-ROM (external storage medium) 13a or the Web server 30 or connection of dictionary data cards (1) 16a, (2) 16b,. FIG. 3 (a) shows a state in which a single headword table (main body headword table) (English system) 12e1 based only on dictionary data 12c that is not implemented is stored. When English-English dictionary data having a word list table is downloaded from, for example, a CD-ROM (external storage medium) 13a and added, the initial unified word table (main body word table) (English-based) 12e1 (See FIG. 3 (A)) and the English word dictionary table (see FIG. 3 (a)) of the English-English dictionary data that is the additional dictionary (13a), as shown in FIG. Utterances Are sorted in alphabetical order, and a unified entry word table (English system) 12e1a after download is generated.

  Further, when English-German dictionary data having a headword list table as shown in FIG. 4 (b) is added, for example, by installing the dictionary data card 1 (memory card) 16a, the figure before mounting the card 16a. Single headword table (main body headword table) (English) 12e1a shown in 3 (B) and a headword list table of English-German dictionary data which is an additional dictionary (16a) (see FIG. 4B) As shown in FIG. 4C, the headwords are sorted in alphabetical order, and a unitary headword table (English) 12e1b after the card 1 is installed is generated.

The headword list table of English-French dictionary data which is the unified headword table (main body headword table) (English) 12e1b and the additional dictionary (16b) shown in FIG. 4C (see FIG. 4C) 4), the headwords are sorted in alphabetical order, and a unitary headword table (English) 12e1c after the card 2 is mounted is generated.

  In this way, whenever new dictionary data is added by downloading from the CD-ROM (external storage medium) 13a or the Web server 30 or by installing the dictionary data card n (memory card) 16, each time it is added, Since the unified headword table 12e (12e1) (12e2) for the built-in dictionary and all the additional dictionaries so far is generated, a desired headword for the built-in dictionary and all the additional dictionaries is generated. Even when the dictionary search process is started by inputting, the search is performed for only the one-word entry table 12e (12e1) (12e2) for the found entry of the alphabet or the Japanese syllabary array that matches the entered entry. , It will be possible to display the headword list at high speed.

  Next, a function of creating a unitary word table 12e and a dictionary search function associated with the addition of dictionary data in the mobile device (electronic dictionary) 10 having the above-described configuration will be described.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a process of creating a unitary entry word table 12e that accompanies a dictionary addition by downloading in the portable device (electronic dictionary) 10.

  When additional dictionary data for the portable device (electronic dictionary) 10 is captured by downloading from the CD-ROM (external storage medium) 13a or downloading from the Web server 30 on the Internet N, the portable device (electronic dictionary) When it is determined that 10 is connected to the user PC 20 via the power transmission control unit 15 (step A1), it is determined whether or not additional dictionary data download processing has started (step A2).

  Here, when a download process of additional dictionary data from the CD-ROM (external storage medium) 13a or the Web server 30 via the user PC 20 is started, it is stored in the memory 12 in the apparatus body 10, or It is determined whether the data is stored in the memory card 16 connected to the card mounting unit 17 (step A2 → A3).

  For example, when it is detected that the memory card 16 is not attached to the card attachment unit 17, it is determined that additional dictionary data that has been downloaded is stored in the memory 12 in the apparatus body 10. (Step A3 (Yes)) First, after the dictionary ID of the additional dictionary data to be downloaded is written in the download dictionary management table 12d2 in the memory 12 (Step A4a), this downloaded additional dictionary is stored. The data entry word list table and the description information data are associated with the dictionary name and stored as dictionary data 12cn in the memory 12 (step A5a).

  Then, whether or not the additional dictionary data stored as the dictionary data 12cn in the memory 12 this time has been unified with respect to the unified entry table 12e is described in the unified entry table 12e. A determination is made based on the presence or absence of a dictionary ID (step A6).

  When it is determined that the additional dictionary data stored as the dictionary data 12cn in the memory 12 has not been unified, each entry word in the additional dictionary downloaded and stored as the dictionary data 12cn in the memory 12 is determined. The headword list table that associates the storage locations of the explanation information and the unitary headword table (main body headword list table) 12e in the memory 12 is sorted in alphabetical or alphabetical order and unified. It is processed and updated as a single entry word table 12e after dictionary addition. At this time, the dictionary ID of the additional dictionary (for example, [download: English-English]) is associated with the sort array position of each headword by the current additional dictionary in the updated unitary headword table 12e ( Step A6 → A7).

  On the other hand, in step A3, for example, when it is detected that the memory card 16 is mounted in the card mounting unit 17, it is determined that additional dictionary data that has been downloaded is stored in the memory card 16. (Step A3 (No)), first, after the card n dictionary management table 12dn in the memory 12 is generated and the dictionary ID of the additional dictionary data to be downloaded is written (Step A4b), this downloaded The entry word list table of the additional dictionary data and the description information data are stored in the memory card 16 attached to the card attachment unit 17 in association with the dictionary name (step A5b).

  Then, regarding the additional dictionary data stored in the memory card 16 this time, whether or not the unification processing has been completed for the single entry word table 12e is performed for each dictionary ID described in the single entry word table 12e. A determination is made based on the presence or absence (step A6).

  If it is determined that the additional dictionary data stored in the memory card 16 has not been unified, each headword of the additional dictionary downloaded and stored as dictionary data in the memory card 16 and its description An entry word list table that associates information storage destinations and a unified entry word table (body entry word list table) 12e in the memory 12 are sorted in alphabetical or alphabetical order and unified, and dictionary It is updated as the unitary entry table 12e after the addition. At this time, the dictionary ID of the additional dictionary (for example, [Card 1: English and German]) is associated with the sort array position of each headword by the current additional dictionary in the updated unitary headword table 12e. (Step A6 → A7).

  Note that the creation process of the unified headword table 12e executed in step A7 is not executed by the internal processing of the portable device (electronic dictionary) 10, but for example, the headword list table in the additional dictionary data The unified headword table 12e before the centralized update is sent to the user PC 20, and a new unified headword table 12e is created by the user PC 20, and the new unified headword table 12e created by the user PC 20 is created. May be stored and updated in the memory 12.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing dictionary search processing for all dictionaries in the portable device (electronic dictionary) 10 in which the additional dictionary can be downloaded.

  When a character string of a word to be dictionary searched is input and displayed in response to a user operation at the input unit 18 (step B1), the dictionary ID of the additional dictionary downloaded and stored in the main body memory 12 is downloaded to the download dictionary management table. It is read from 12d2 (step B2).

  Then, it is determined whether or not a dictionary data card (memory card) 16n is connected to the card mounting unit 17 (step B3), and if it is determined that there is a connection to the dictionary data card (memory card) 16n (step B3). (Yes)), the dictionary ID of the additional dictionary by the dictionary data card (memory card) 16n stored in the card n dictionary management table 12d3, 12d4,... Is read (step B4), and the current card mounting portion is stored therein. 17, whether or not the entry word list table has been unified with respect to the unified entry word table 12 e depending on whether or not there is an additional dictionary ID corresponding to the dictionary data card (memory card) 16 n being connected to 17. Is determined (step B5).

  Here, the dictionary data card (memory) currently connected to the card mounting unit 17 in the dictionary ID of each additional dictionary by the dictionary data card (memory card) 16n read from the card n dictionary management table 12d3, 12d4,. If the additional dictionary ID corresponding to the card 16n does not exist, it is determined that the headword list table of the connected additional dictionary is not unified with respect to the single headword table 12e (step B5). (No)), the process proceeds to the process of creating the unitary entry table 12e (see step P3 in FIG. 8) accompanying the dictionary addition in the memory card (step B6). That is, the headword list table in which each headword of the additional dictionary stored in the connected dictionary data card (memory card) 16n is associated with the storage destination of the explanation information, and the central head search in the memory 12 The word table (main body headword list table) 12e is sorted in alphabetical or alphabetical order and unified, and updated as a single headword table 12e after the addition of the dictionary by the current memory card 16 (step B6). .

  In this way, is the unified headword table 12e in which the headword list table of the additional dictionary by the dictionary data card (memory card) 16n currently connected to the card mounting unit 17 is unified (step B6), or If it is determined in step B5 that the headword list table of the connected additional dictionary has been unified with respect to the single headword table 12e (step B5 (Yes)), this single headword table 12e A list of headwords having a character string that matches the input search character string is retrieved and written in the work area in the memory 12 (step B7a).

  Then, each dictionary ID of the internal dictionary stored and managed in the built-in dictionary management table 12d1 and the download dictionary management table 12d2 from the headword list searched using the one unit headword table 12e and the current The headword corresponding to the additional dictionary ID by the memory card 16 other than the additional dictionary ID by the connected dictionary data card (memory card) 16n is deleted (step B8a), and all the current main body dictionaries and the connected dictionary data are deleted. A headword list screen for the card dictionary is displayed on the display unit 19 (step B9).

  In this headword list screen, when a user-desired headword to be searched for a dictionary is selected according to the user operation of the input unit 18 (step B10), it is associated with the selected headword. Then, according to the dictionary ID and headword number read from the unitary headword table 12e, the explanation information is read from the dictionary data having the selected headword and displayed on the display unit 19 (step B11).

  As a result, all the dictionary data of the dictionary data of each dictionary in the main body corresponding to the character type (English or Japanese language) of the input search character string and the dictionary data of the additional dictionary connected to the card are obtained. The headword list screen corresponding to the search character string can be quickly displayed as a target, and the explanation information corresponding to the headword desired by the user can be easily searched and displayed.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step B3 that the dictionary data card (memory card) 16n is not connected to the card mounting unit 17, the input search character string using the one-word entry table 12e and A list of headwords having a matching character string is retrieved and written to the work area in the memory 12 (step B7b).

  Then, from the list of head words searched using the one-way head word table 12e, a dictionary other than each dictionary ID of the internal dictionary stored and managed in the built-in dictionary management table 12d1 and the download dictionary management table 12d2. The headword corresponding to the additional dictionary ID by the memory card 16 is deleted (step B8b), and the headword list screen for all current main body dictionaries is displayed on the display unit 19 (step B9).

  Then, in this headword list screen, when a user-desired headword to be searched for a dictionary is selected according to a user operation of the input unit 18 (step B10), it corresponds to the selected headword. The explanation information is read from the dictionary data having the selected headword according to the dictionary ID and headword number attached and read from the unitary headword table 12e and displayed on the display unit 19 (step B11). .

  As a result, the headword list screen corresponding to the search character string for all dictionary data of each dictionary in the current main body corresponding to the character type (English or Japanese language) of the input search character string Can be displayed quickly, and explanation information corresponding to the headword desired by the user can be easily retrieved and displayed.

  Therefore, according to the creation function of the unified entry word table 12e accompanying the addition of dictionary data and the dictionary search function in the portable device (electronic dictionary) 10 having the above configuration, the CD-ROM (external storage medium) is provided via the user PC 20. 13 and the additional dictionary data downloaded from the Web server 30 and saved as dictionary data 12cn in the main body memory 12 or saved in the memory card 16 attached to the card attachment unit 17, the dictionary ID of this additional dictionary data is obtained. The dictionary management table 12d is added and written, and a dictionary in which a headword list table of the additional dictionary data is built in in advance, a downloaded additional dictionary, and an English dictionary and a Japanese dictionary of an additional dictionary connected to a card. A unified entry table 12e (12e1 / 12e2) for all divided dictionaries is unified. Then, when a character string to be searched is input, a list of word entries that match the input character string using an English-based or Japanese-based unified word table 12e (12e1 / 12e2) corresponding to the character type of the input character string. Are searched, and the headwords of the additional dictionary for the memory card 16n not currently installed are deleted and the headword list is displayed, so that a pre-built dictionary, downloaded additional dictionary, card connection It is possible to quickly search and display a list of headwords for all dictionaries without having to search the individual headword list table for each of the added dictionaries sequentially and sort them alphabetically or alphabetically. It becomes possible to easily perform advanced dictionary searches.

  In the above embodiment, a configuration is provided for searching and displaying a list of headwords corresponding to an input character string for all dictionaries of a built-in dictionary, a downloaded additional dictionary, and an additional dictionary currently connected to a card. However, as a matter of course, it is also possible to select and specify only one or a plurality of desired dictionaries in the main body and the card-connected dictionaries, and to search and display a headword list corresponding to the input character string as described above. is there.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a search target dictionary selection screen G in the portable device (electronic dictionary) 10.

  As the dictionary search process described with reference to FIG. 6 starts, a search target dictionary selection screen G for selecting a desired plurality of dictionaries is displayed as shown in FIG.

  In this search target dictionary selection screen G, when a plurality of desired dictionaries to be searched are selected and specified, a search term search process corresponding to an input character string based only on the plurality of selected and specified dictionary data Is executed.

  That is, when a plurality of user-desired dictionaries are selected and specified, the headwords for all dictionaries using the unitary headword table 12e (12e1) (12e2) in step B7a or B7b of FIG. In Step B8a or Step B8b after performing the list search, the headword deletion of the dictionary other than the selected plurality of dictionaries is executed together with the headword deletion of the additional dictionary ID corresponding to the unmounted card. A configuration may be adopted in which a list of found words is displayed and a desired word found by the user is selected.

  In the above embodiment, the case where additional dictionary data downloaded from the CD-ROM (external storage medium) 13 or the Web server 30 is stored in the main body memory 12 or the memory card 16 has been described. As described with reference to FIG. 9, dictionary data cards (memory cards) 16a, 16b,... In which dictionary data is stored in advance are selectively mounted to use an additional dictionary in addition to the internal dictionary. It is good also as composition to do.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the creation process of the unitary entry word table 12e accompanying the dictionary addition in the dictionary data card (memory card) in the portable device (electronic dictionary) 10.

  For example, when the dictionary data of the English-German dictionary stored in the dictionary data card (1) 16a (see FIG. 1) is used as an additional dictionary, the dictionary data card 16a is mounted on the card mounting unit 17. If it is determined that the card is connected (step P1 (Yes)), the dictionary ID of the dictionary data stored in the dictionary data card (1) 16a is stored in the card n dictionary management tables 12d3 and 12d4 in the main body memory 12. ,..., It is determined whether or not a unified table has been created as a unified headword table (English) 12e1 (step P2).

  Here, the dictionary ID corresponding to the dictionary data card (1) 16a currently connected to the card mounting unit 17 does not exist as the dictionary ID in the card n dictionary management table 12d3, 12d4,. If it is determined that (English-based) 12e1 has not been converted into a single table (step P2 (No)), each additional word in the additional dictionary stored in the dictionary data card (1) 16a and its explanation information are stored. The headword list table in which the destination is associated with the one headword table (main body headword list table) (English system) 12e1 in the memory 12 is sorted in alphabetical order and unified, and the card (1 ) It is updated as a single headword table (English system) 12e1 after the dictionary addition by 16a. At this time, the sort array position of each entry word by the current card addition dictionary in the updated unified entry table (English system) 12e1 has a dictionary ID (for example, [Card 1: English and German] of the card addition dictionary). ) Are associated with each other (step P3).

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing dictionary search processing for all dictionaries in the portable device (electronic dictionary) 10 capable of adding a dictionary in the dictionary data card (memory card).

  When a character string of a word to be dictionary searched is input and displayed according to a user operation at the input unit 18 (step Q1), whether or not a dictionary data card (memory card) 16n is connected to the card mounting unit 17 or not. Judgment is made (step Q2).

  Here, for example, when it is determined that the dictionary data card (2) (English-French dictionary) 16b is connected (step Q2 (Yes)), it is stored in the card n dictionary management tables 12d3, 12d4,. The dictionary ID of the additional dictionary by the dictionary data card (memory card) 16 is read (step Q3), and there is an additional dictionary ID corresponding to the dictionary data card (2) 16b currently connected to the card mounting unit 17. Whether or not the headword list table has been unified with respect to the single headword table 12e is determined (step Q4).

  Here, in the dictionary ID of each additional dictionary by the dictionary data card (memory card) 16 read from the card n dictionary management table 12d3, 12d4,. ) (English-French Dictionary) Since there is no additional dictionary ID corresponding to 16b, the headword list table of the connected additional dictionary is not unified with respect to the single headword table (English system) 12e1. If it is determined (step Q4 (No)), the process proceeds to a process of creating a single entry word table (English system) 12e1 accompanying the addition of a dictionary in the memory card (see step P3 in FIG. 8) (step Q5). . That is, in the memory 12, a headword list table that associates each headword of the additional dictionary stored in the connected dictionary data card (2) (English-French dictionary) 16b with the storage destination of the explanation information. Unitary headword table (main unit headword list table) (English-based) 12e1 is sorted in alphabetical order and unified, and the dictionary data card (2) (English-French dictionary) 16b is added after adding the dictionary It is updated as the entry word table 12e1 (step Q5).

  In this way, a unified headword table (English system) 12e1 is created in which the headword list table of the additional dictionary by the dictionary data card (2) (English-French dictionary) 16b currently connected to the card mounting unit 17 is also unified. (Step Q5), or when it is determined that the headword list table of the additional dictionary being connected in step Q4 has been unified with respect to the single headword table 12e1 (step Q4 (Yes)) ), A list of headwords having a character string that matches the input search character string is searched using this one-way headword table (English system) 12e1 and written in the work area in the memory 12 (step Q6a).

  Then, each dictionary in the main body stored and managed in the built-in dictionary management table 12d1 and the download dictionary management table 12d2 from the headword list searched using the unitary headword table (English system) 12e1. The headword corresponding to the additional dictionary ID by the memory card 16 other than the dictionary ID and the additional dictionary ID by the currently connected dictionary data card (English-French dictionary) 16b is deleted (step Q7a), and all current main bodies are deleted. A headword list screen for the dictionary and the connected card dictionary is displayed on the display unit 19 (step Q8).

  In this headword list screen, when a user-desired headword to be searched for a dictionary is selected according to a user operation of the input unit 18 (step Q9), it is associated with the selected headword. In accordance with the dictionary ID and the headword number read from the unitary headword table 12e1, the explanation information is read from the dictionary data having the selected headword and displayed on the display unit 19 (step Q10).

  As a result, all the dictionary data of the dictionary data of each dictionary in the main body corresponding to the character type (English or Japanese language) of the input search character string and the dictionary data of the additional dictionary connected to the card are obtained. The headword list screen corresponding to the search character string can be quickly displayed as a target, and the explanation information corresponding to the headword desired by the user can be easily searched and displayed.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step Q2 that the dictionary data card (memory card) 16n is not connected to the card mounting unit 17, a single entry word table corresponding to the character type of the input search character string. A list of headwords having a character string that matches the input search character string is searched using 12e (English system: 12e1) (Japanese language system: 12e2) and written in the work area in the memory 12 (step Q6b).

  Then, from the list of head words searched using the one-way head word table 12e (12e1 or 12e2), the internal dictionary stored and managed in the built-in dictionary management table 12d1 and the download dictionary management table 12d2 are stored. The headword corresponding to the additional dictionary ID by the memory card 16 other than each dictionary ID is deleted (step Q7b), and the headword list screen for all current main body dictionaries is displayed on the display unit 19 ( Step Q8).

  Then, in this headword list screen, when a user-desired headword to be searched for a dictionary is selected according to a user operation of the input unit 18 (step Q9), it corresponds to the selected headword. The explanation information is read out from the dictionary data having the selected headword in accordance with the dictionary ID and headword number read from the unitary headword table 12e (12e1 or 12e2) and displayed on the display unit 19. (Step Q10).

  As a result, the headword list screen corresponding to the search character string for all dictionary data of each dictionary in the current main body corresponding to the character type (English or Japanese language) of the input search character string Can be displayed quickly, and explanation information corresponding to the headword desired by the user can be easily retrieved and displayed.
