As shown in FIG. 6B, the data is read and displayed in a list in the classification label display area 15B (step S9).

  Here, assuming that the headword “due” to which the handwritten memo “used in the form of“ to ”M1 is pasted is important for learning, the classification label“ important ”L1 is selected by pen-touching (step S10 ( Yes)), as shown in FIG. 6C, the handwritten memo “used in the form of“ to ”” M1 to which the selected classification label “important” L1 is pasted is displayed in the handwritten character input area 15A. (Step S11).

  When the “registration” key 14c of the key input unit 14 is operated (step S12 (Yes)), the handwritten memo “˜to” is used for the selected entry word “due” currently being displayed for search. The handwritten memo registration data 26b in which “M1” is associated with the classification label “important” L1 is generated (see FIG. 4) and registered in the RAM 26 (step S13).

  As a result, the desired handwritten memo Mm can be pasted on the desired headword searched in the dictionary, and further, this can be classified and registered by a plurality of types of classification labels Ln.

  Thus, for the headword registered by pasting the handwritten memo Mm, the “memo” key 14d of the key input unit 14 is operated in order to call a desired headword from the handwritten memo Mm (step S2 ( Yes)), the process proceeds to the memo display process in FIG. 7 (step SA).

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a memo display process accompanying the dictionary display process of the electronic dictionary device 10.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an operation state of the display unit 16 accompanying the memo display process of the electronic dictionary device 10.

  When the memo display process in FIG. 7 is activated in response to the operation of the “memo” key 14 d of the key input unit 14, all the handwriting registered in the handwritten memo registration data 26 b (see FIG. 4) in the RAM 26. Notes Mm ... and classification labels (codes) Ln ... associated with the respective handwritten notes Mm ... are read out. Then, as shown in FIG. 8A, each handwritten memo Mm... Is registered in the order of registration, and its classification label (“important”, “same sound”, etc.) Ln is pasted to the handwritten memo Mm associated with the label code. The list is displayed as a heading memo display screen G on the display unit (main screen) 16 (step A1).

  At this time, in the headline memo display screen G, classification label designation tabs “display all” K0 to “related” K8 for designating the type of the classification label Ln along the upper end of the screen are arranged and displayed. In the initial state of the display process, the first classification label designation tab “display all” K0 is designated, and all handwritten memos Mm... Registered in the handwritten memo registration data 26b (see FIG. 4) are displayed in a list.

  Then, among the handwritten memos Mm... Displayed in a list on the heading memo display screen G, the first handwritten memo M1 is selected by the reverse display H, and the selected handwritten memo M1 is selected by the handwriting input unit (sub-screen) 15. Are also displayed in parallel (see FIG. 6C) (step A2).

  In the headline memo display screen G, for example, as shown in FIG. 8A, the headword “due” associated with the handwritten memo M1 selected by the reverse display H and its explanation information are stored in the dictionary database. 22D is read out and displayed as an explanation information preview screen D.

  When the up / down cursor key 14h of the key input unit 14 is operated in the list display state of the handwritten memo Mm... (Step A3 (Yes)), selection of the displayed handwritten memo Mm. The position is sent according to the direction of the cursor instruction (step A4).

  Then, the handwritten memo Mm newly selected and highlighted in response to the operation of the up / down cursor key 14h is also displayed in parallel with the handwriting input unit (sub-screen) 15 (step A5).

  Further, when the left and right cursor keys 14h of the key input unit 14 are operated in the list display state of the handwritten memos Mm... (Step A6 (Yes)), for example, as shown in FIG. In addition, the designation position of the classification label designation tabs “all display” K0 to “related” K8 is changed from the “all display” K0 position to the “important” K1 position according to the direction of the cursor instruction (step A7). ).

  Then, only the handwritten memo M1 registered in the handwritten memo registration data 26b (see FIG. 4) in association with the classification label (code) L1 of the changed classification label designation tab “important” K1 is read. Then, as shown in FIG. 8B, a list is displayed on the heading memo list screen G (step A8).

  In the specific example of this embodiment, the handwritten memo Mm registered with the classification label “important” L1 pasted is used in the form of one handwritten memo “˜to” pasted on the headword “due”. ”Shows the case of M1.

  Then, among the handwritten memos Mm... Displayed by pasting the designated and changed classification label “important” L1, the top handwritten memo M1 is selected by the reverse display H, and the selected handwritten memo M1 is selected. It is also displayed on the handwriting input unit (sub-screen) 15 in parallel (see FIG. 6C) (step A9).

  For example, as shown in FIG. 8A or 8B, a heading memo list screen G is displayed on the display unit (main screen) 16, and as shown in FIG. The handwritten memo “used in the form of“ to ”” M1 to which the classification label “important” L1 is pasted is selected and displayed on the handwritten input unit (subscreen) 15, and the handwritten input unit (subscreen) 15 is touched with a pen (step A10 (Yes)), each label (code) “important” of the handwritten memo classification label data 26a (see FIG. 3) stored in the RAM 26 is displayed. “L1,” “Caution” L2,..., “Related” L8 are read out and displayed as a list in the classification label display area 15B of the handwriting input unit (sub-screen) 15 as shown in FIG. (Step A11 .

  Here, when the delete button X for the trash can mark displayed together with the classification label display area 15B is touched with a pen (step A12 (Yes)), the selected handwritten memo “used in the form of to” is used. The classification label (code) L1 associated with M1 and registered in the handwritten memo registration data 26b is deleted, and the classification label “important” L1 is not pasted as shown in FIG. The handwritten memo M1 is displayed (step A13).

  On the other hand, as described above, for example, as shown in FIG. 6C, the handwritten memo “used in the form of“ to ”” M1 to which the classification label “important” L1 is pasted is selected and the handwritten input section (sub-screen) 15, the classification labels “important” L1, “caution” L2,..., “Related” L8 are classified according to the pen touch of the classification label selection button L as shown in FIG. In a state where the list is displayed in the label display area 15B (step A10 → A11), when the classification label “term end” L4 is selected by pen-touching to select the handwritten memo M1 by another classification label Ln (step A10). A14 (Yes)), the selected classification label “term end” L4 is added to the classification label “important” L1, and the handwritten memo “used in the form of“ to ”” M1 is the handwritten character input area It is displayed in the area 15A and registered as handwritten memo registration data 26b (step A15).

  As a result, it is possible to classify and store a user-defined classification label Ln by pasting it to a handwritten memo Mm that is not originally classified by the classification labels L1 to L8. It can also be managed.

  Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 8B, the classification label “important” L1 in accordance with the user-designated tab “important” K1 in the classification label designation tabs “display all” K0 to “related” K8. The “collective erase” key 14e of the key input unit 14 is operated in a state where the handwritten memo “used in the form of“ to ”” M1 pasted and classified is displayed in the handwritten character input area 15A. (Step A16 (Yes)), the handwritten memo M1 associated with the classification “important” L1 designated at this time is collectively erased from the handwritten memo registration data 26b (step A17).

  This makes it possible to easily designate and erase collectively the handwritten memos Mm... Of classification that are no longer necessary for the user.

  When it is determined that the handwritten memo Mm associated with any one of the categories Ln subsequent to the collectively erased category “important” L1 is registered in the handwritten memo registration data 26b (step A18). (Yes)), the designated position of the classification label designation tab Kn is changed corresponding to the next classification Ln (step A7).

  Then, only the handwritten memo Mm registered in the handwritten memo registration data 26b (see FIG. 4) in association with the changed classification label designation tab Kn (corresponding to the code Ln) is read out, and the headline memo is read. A list is displayed as a list screen G on the display unit (main screen) 16 (step A8).

  Then, among the handwritten memos Mm... That are displayed in a list by pasting the designated classification label Ln, the top handwritten memo M1 is selected by the reverse display H, and the selected handwritten memo M1 is input by the handwriting input. This is also displayed in parallel with the part (sub-screen) 15 (step A9).

  When it is determined that the handwritten memo Mm associated with any one of the categories Ln following the category “important” L1 erased at once is not registered in the handwritten memo registration data 26b (step A18 (No )), Or when the “return” key 14f of the key input unit 14 is operated (step A19 (Yes)), the series of memo display processing is terminated and the initial state of dictionary search is restored.

  Next, the function of editing each classification label Ln stored and managed in the handwritten memo classification label data 26a in the RAM 26 will be described.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a process for editing the classification label Ln of the handwritten memo Mm in the electronic dictionary device 10.
