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

<Custom dictionary registration process>
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the flow of custom dictionary registration processing in which the CPU 20 reads and executes the information display program 81.

  As shown in this figure, in the custom dictionary registration process, first, the CPU 20 designates either a Japanese or English custom dictionary setting table 840 as a setting target based on a user operation (step S1).

  Next, after selecting any dictionary database 820 as the selected dictionary database 820S based on the user operation (step S2), the CPU 20 inputs a search character string based on the user operation (step S3). In step S2, the user selects the dictionary database 820 of the language type corresponding to the custom dictionary setting table 840 specified as the setting target in step S1.

  Next, the CPU 20 searches the selected dictionary database 820S for a headword corresponding to the search character string (for example, a headword that matches the selected character string), and displays the detected headword on the main display 10 as a list. Based on the user operation, any headword is selected as a selected headword (step S4).

  Next, the CPU 20 reads out the explanation information of the selected headword from the selected dictionary database 820S and displays it on the main display 10, and displays the custom icon I1 and the jump icon I2 (see FIG. 6A) at the end of the main display 10. (Step S5), it is determined whether or not a change operation of the selected dictionary database 820S is performed (step S6). Note that the custom icon I1 and the jump icon I2 are used as drop destination areas when dragging and dropping component information in the description information in the processing described later.

  When it is determined in step S6 that the selection dictionary database 820S has been changed (step S6; Yes), the CPU 20 changes the selection dictionary database 820S in accordance with the change operation, and then proceeds to step S5 described above. To do.

  If it is determined in step S6 that the selection dictionary database 820S is not changed (step S6; No), the CPU 20 determines whether or not the learning content 830 is specified (step S7). ).

  When it is determined in this step S7 that the operation of specifying the learning content 830 is not performed (step S7; No), the CPU 20 performs information on any component in the explanation information displayed on the main display 10. It is determined whether or not a selection operation is performed (step S8).

  When it is determined in step S8 that the selection operation is not performed on any component information (step S8; No), the CPU 20 repeats the process of step S8.

  In addition, when it is determined in step S8 that the selection operation has been performed on the information of any component (step S8; Yes), the CPU 20 selects the selected component (hereinafter referred to as a selected component). It is determined whether or not an operation for dragging and dropping the information on the custom icon I1 is performed (step S9).

  If it is determined in step S9 that the operation of dragging and dropping the information on the selected component element onto the custom icon I1 has been performed (step S9; Yes), the CPU 20 determines the dictionary name and identification of the selected dictionary database 820S. The ID and the selected component are associated with each other and set in the custom dictionary setting table 840 to be set (step S10), and the process proceeds to step S6 described above.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S9 that the operation of dragging and dropping the information on the selected component onto the custom icon I1 is not performed (step S9; No), the CPU 20 jumps the information on the selected component. It is determined whether or not an operation for dragging and dropping on the icon I2 is performed (step S15).

  If it is determined in step S15 that the operation of dragging and dropping the information of the selected component element onto the jump icon I2 has been performed (step S15; Yes), the CPU 20 stores the selected dictionary database 820S in the jump destination dictionary. As the database 820, the dictionary name and identification ID are set in the custom dictionary setting table 840 to be set (step S16), and the process proceeds to the above-described step S6.

  If it is determined in step S15 that the operation of dragging and dropping the selected component information onto the jump icon I2 is not performed (step S15; No), the CPU 20 determines whether another operation is performed. It is determined whether or not (step S17).

  When it is determined in step S17 that no other operation is performed (step S17; No), the CPU 20 proceeds to the above-described step S6, while when it is determined that another operation is performed (step S17; Yes). ), Processing corresponding to the operation is performed.

  If it is determined in step S7 that the operation for specifying the learning content 830 has been performed (step S7; Yes), the CPU 20 selects the specified learning content 830 (hereinafter referred to as the specified learning content 830S). It is determined whether or not a headword exists (step S21).

  If it is determined in step S21 that the selected headword does not exist in the designated learning content 830S (step S21; No), the CPU 20 displays a message to that effect on the main display 10 (step S22), and then The process proceeds to step S6.

  In addition, when it is determined in step S21 that the selected headword is present in the designated learning content 830S (step S21; Yes), the CPU 20 reads the portion related to the selected headword from the designated learning content 830S and displays it on the main display 10. After that, it is determined whether or not an operation for dragging and dropping a portion in the designated learning content 830S onto the custom icon I1 is performed (step S31).

  When it is determined in this step S31 that the operation of dragging and dropping the portion in the designated learning content 830S onto the custom icon I1 is not performed (step S31; No), the CPU 20 performs the process of step S31. repeat.

  If it is determined in step S31 that an operation for dragging and dropping a portion in the designated learning content 830S onto the custom icon I1 is performed (step S31; Yes), the CPU 20 learns the designated learning content 830S. The content name and identification ID are stored in the custom dictionary setting table 840 to be set as a reading source of the information for use (step S32), and the process proceeds to step S6 described above.

<Dictionary search process>
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of dictionary search processing in which the CPU 20 reads and executes the information display program 81.

  As shown in this figure, in the dictionary search process, first, the CPU 20 determines whether or not a selection operation for using a Japanese / English “custom dictionary” is performed, that is, a Japanese / English custom dictionary setting table 840. Is used to determine whether or not a selection operation to search the dictionary is performed (step T1). When it is determined that the selection operation is not performed (step T1; No), the process proceeds to another process.

  If it is determined in step T1 that a selection operation for using a Japanese- or English-based “custom dictionary” has been performed (step T1; Yes), the CPU 20 selects a custom dictionary setting table for the selected language type. After setting 840 as the selected custom dictionary setting table 840S, it is determined whether or not a search character string input operation is performed (step T2). In step T2, the user inputs a search character string corresponding to the language type of the “custom dictionary” selected in step T1.

  When it is determined in step T2 that the search character string input operation is not performed (step T2; No), the CPU 20 repeats the process of step T2.

  If it is determined in step T2 that a search character string input operation has been performed (step T2; Yes), the CPU 20 selects a headword corresponding to the search character string (for example, a headword that matches the selected character string in the forward direction). Is searched from the dictionary database 820, and the detected headwords are displayed as a list on the main display 10, and then any headword is selected as a selected headword based on a user operation, and the selected custom dictionary setting table 840S is selected. It is determined whether or not the language type is Japanese (step T3).

  If it is determined in step T3 that the language type of the selected custom dictionary setting table 840S is not Japanese (step T3; No), the CPU 20 correlates with the component in the storage information by the selected custom dictionary setting table 840S. Among the explanation information of the selected headword from each dictionary database 820, information on the constituent element is read out and temporarily stored in the RAM 90 (step T4), and the process proceeds to step T11 described later.

  If it is determined in step T3 that the language type of the selected custom dictionary setting table 840S is Japanese (step T3; Yes), the CPU 20 stores information other than “stroke order” in the stored information by the selected custom dictionary setting table 840S. Of the explanation information of the selected headword, the information on the constituent element is read from each dictionary database 820 associated with the constituent element, and is temporarily stored in the RAM 90 (step T4).

  Next, the CPU 20 determines whether or not kanji characters are included in the portion of the feed kana notation in the description information (step T5). If it is determined that the kanji is not included (step T5; No), the process proceeds to step T11 described later. Transition.

  If it is determined in step T5 that the kana character is included in the part of the description in the description information (step T5; Yes), the CPU 20 stores the dictionary database of the kanji dictionary associated with the “stroke order” component. Each kanji is searched for in 820 (step T6), and the stroke order information is read from the explanation information of each detected kanji headword and temporarily stored in the RAM 90 (step T7).

  Next, the CPU 20 determines whether or not the content name of the learning content 830 is stored as a reading source of the learning information in the selected custom dictionary setting table 840S (step T11), and when it is determined that it is not stored (step T11). In Step T11; No), the process proceeds to Step T15 described later.

  If it is determined in step T11 that the content name of the learning content 830 is stored as a reading source of the learning information in the selected custom dictionary setting table 840S (step T11; Yes), the CPU 20 determines the learning content 830. The learning information relating to the selected headword is read out and temporarily stored in the RAM 90 (step T13).

  Next, the CPU 20 collectively displays the information on each component temporarily stored in the RAM 90 on the main display 10 (step T15). At this time, the CPU 20 displays a jump icon I2 on the end of the main display 10 (see FIG. 8A).

  Next, the CPU 20 determines whether or not a touch operation is performed on the jump icon I2 (step T21). If it is determined that the touch operation is not performed (step T21; No), the CPU 20 proceeds to another process.

  When it is determined in step T21 that the touch operation has been performed on the jump icon I2 (step T21; Yes), the CPU 20 jumps any word from the display content on the main display 10 based on the user operation. Designated as a target word (step T22).

  Next, the CPU 20 determines whether any dictionary name is set as a jump destination in the selected custom dictionary setting table 840S (step T23), and when it is determined that it is not set (step T23; No). To other processing.

  If it is determined in step T23 that any dictionary name is set as a jump destination in the selected custom dictionary setting table 840S (step T23; Yes), the CPU 20 jumps from the dictionary database 820 of the dictionary name. The explanation information of the target word is read and displayed on the sub-display 11 (step T24).

  Then, the CPU 20 determines whether or not the return key 2g is operated (step T25). When it is determined that the return key 2g is not operated (step T25; No), the CPU 20 proceeds to the above step T24 and determines that it is operated. If so (step T25; Yes), the process proceeds to step T22 described above.
