Description

  The present invention relates to an information display device and a program.

  Conventionally, as a method for learning a word, there is a method in which a word is decomposed into each word component of an affix and a stem and learned based on the word source of each word component. When a word is learned by this method, the word can be effectively understood and learned from a word source (a word source indicating the meaning of each word component) of the word. Further, in recent information display devices, when displaying the description information of a certain headword, a word including a word component of the same word source as the headword (a word common to a certain headword and the word source) It is displayed in association with the headword (for example, see Patent Document 1).

  By the way, as a word learning method, there is also a method of learning synonyms, antonyms, derivative words, and the like collectively. A word book in which synonyms, antonyms, derivative words, and the like are collectively described is commercially available, and this word book can be used as a learning tool by the method.

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

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the flow of word display processing that the CPU 20 reads and executes the word display processing program 81.

  As shown in this figure, in the word display process, the CPU 20 first determines whether or not the English-Japanese dictionary database 822 is selected by a user operation (step S1), and determines that the English-Japanese dictionary database 822 is selected (step S1). ; Yes), any headword in the English-Japanese dictionary database 822 is designated as a designated headword in accordance with a user operation (step S2). In this step S2, the user may designate the designated headword by inputting the character string of the desired headword to the end, or input the character string of the headword one by one from the beginning. It is also possible to display a list of headwords that match the completed character string and specify a desired headword from the list of headwords, or to display a search history of headwords in the English-Japanese dictionary database 822. A headword may be designated from the history. Conventionally known techniques can be used as the method for specifying such headwords.

  Next, the CPU 20 reads out the description information of the designated headword from the English-Japanese dictionary database 822 and displays it on the main display 10 (step S3).

  Next, the CPU 20 determines whether or not a user operation for storing the specified headword in the marker word book table 84 is performed (step S4), and when it is determined that the user operation is not performed (step S4; No). Shifts to other processing.

  If it is determined in step S4 that the user operation for storing the specified headword in the marker word book table 84 has been performed (step S4; Yes), the CPU 20 stores the specified headword in the marker word book table 84. While accumulating and storing, the positional information of the character string designated as the marker display character string based on the user operation is stored in the description information of the headword (step S5), and the process proceeds to the above-described step S2.

  If it is determined in step S1 that the English-Japanese dictionary database 822 is not selected by the user operation (step S1; No), the CPU 20 determines whether the marker word book table 84 is selected by the user operation. If it is determined (step S6) and it is determined that it is not selected (step S6; No), the process proceeds to another process.

  If it is determined in step S6 that the marker word book table 84 has been selected by a user operation (step S6; Yes), the CPU 20 forms a list display frame W1 and a preview display frame W2 on the main display 10 ( 5), the words stored in the marker word book table 84 are displayed as a list in the list display frame W1, and any one word specified by the user operation is highlighted as a specified word. The explanation information of the designated word is read from the English-Japanese dictionary database 822 and displayed as a preview in the preview display frame W2 (step S7).

  Next, the CPU 20 determines whether or not a user operation for selecting the synonym source list display function (mandala function) is performed (step S8), and when it is determined that the user operation is not performed (step S8; No). Shifts to other processing.

  If it is determined in step S8 that a user operation for selecting the same word source list display function has been performed (step S8; Yes), the CPU 20 determines whether or not the selected word source display mode is selected by the user operation. Is determined (step S9).

  If it is determined in step S9 that the selected word source display mode is selected (step S9; Yes), the CPU 20 reads the word source and the like of each word component in the designated word from the word source dictionary database 821, and the main A total of nine divided display areas A are formed by dividing the display area of the display 10 vertically and horizontally into a grid (see FIG. 5B), and displayed in the center of the main display 10 among these divided display areas A. In the central divided display area A1, the designated word, the translation of the designated word, the word constituent parts of the designated word, and the word sources of each of the plurality of word constituent parts are displayed in a list. (Step S10).

  Next, the CPU 20 selects any one word source selected by the user operation from among the word sources displayed as a list in the central divided display area A1 as a selected word source (step S11). In step S11, the CPU 20 identifies and displays a word component corresponding to the selected word source in a predetermined color among the designated words in the central divided display area A1.

Next, the CPU 20 performs a synonym word extraction process (step S12).
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, in this synonym word extraction process, first, the CPU 20 first positions (mostly) among the words stored in the marker word book table 84 (hereinafter referred to as registered words). The registered word stored at the old position is set as an extraction candidate word (hereinafter referred to as an extraction candidate word) (step T1).

  Next, the CPU 20 searches for extraction candidate words in the dictionary database 821 with word source (step T2).

  Next, based on the word source searched for the extraction candidate word, the CPU 20 determines whether or not the extraction candidate word is the same word source word including a word component of the same word source as the selected word source (step T3). If it is determined that the word is not the same word (step T3; No), the process proceeds to step T5 described later.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step T3 that the extraction candidate word is a synonym word including a word component of the same word source as the selected word source (step T3; Yes), the CPU 20 extracts the word into the synonym word storage table 901. The candidate word is stored as a synonym source word (step T4).

  Next, the CPU 20 determines whether or not other registered words are stored behind the extraction candidate words in the marker word book table 84, that is, whether or not all registered words are set as extraction candidate words ( If it is determined in step T5) that other registered words are stored in the marker word book table 84 (step T5; Yes), they are stored in the marker word book table 84 at the position next to the extraction candidate word at the current time. The registered word is set as a new extraction candidate word (step T6), and the process proceeds to the above-described step T2.

  When it is determined in step T5 that no other registered word is stored behind the extraction candidate word in the marker word book table 84 (step T5; No), the CPU 20 stores a predetermined number of registered words. A value obtained by subtracting the number of synonym words extracted in the synonym word storage table 901 from the “predetermined number” (hereinafter referred to as “insufficient number”) is 1. It is determined whether or not this is the case (step T7). Here, the “predetermined number” in step T7 is the number of the predetermined peripheral divided display area A2, and specifically, among the word sources of each word component in the designated word, the predetermined word source and the same word source. This is the number of peripheral divided display areas A2 used for displaying synonym words including word components.

  That is, in the selected word source display mode, the same word source word including the word component part of the same word source as the selected word source selected by the user is displayed in the eight peripheral division display areas A2, so that the “predetermined number” is “8”. It is.

  On the other hand, in the collective word display mode, the same word word including the prefix of the same word source as the prefix word source is displayed in a total of three peripheral divided display areas A2 (peripheral divided display area A2 on the left side of the central divided display area A1). The same word source suffix including the same word source suffix as that of the suffix word source is displayed in a total of three peripheral divided display areas A2 (peripheral divided display area A2 on the right side of the central divided display area A1). The same word source word including the stem of the same word source is displayed in a total of two peripheral division display areas A2 (peripheral division display areas A2 above and below the central division display area A1). Therefore, in the synonym word extraction process (step S18 described later) for displaying synonym words including the prefix of the designated word and the prefix of the synonym, the “predetermined number” is “3”. In the synonym word extraction process (step S24 described later) for displaying synonym words including the suffix and the suffix of the synonym, “predetermined number” is “3”, and the stem of the designated word and the synonym In the synonym word extraction process (step S21 described later) for displaying synonym words including the word stem, the “predetermined number” is “2”.

  If it is determined in step T7 that a predetermined number of registered words have been extracted in the synonym word storage table 901 (step T7; Yes), the CPU 20 ends the synonym word extraction process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step T7 that a predetermined number of registered words have not been extracted in the same word source word storage table 901 (step T7; No), the CPU 20 is stored in the word source dictionary database 821, and Then, the word not stored in the marker word book table 84 is set as an extraction candidate word in descending order of importance, and the above-described steps T2 to T4 are performed, and a predetermined number of words are stored in the same word source word storage table 901. The word is stored (step T8), and the same word source word extraction process is terminated. More specifically, in this step T8, the CPU 20 further extracts the same-word source words by the number of “insufficient numbers” described above and stores them in the same-word source word storage table 901. A predetermined number of words are stored.

  When the above synonym word extraction process is completed, the CPU 20 next converts the synonym words stored in the synonym word storage table 901 into nine divided display areas formed on the main display 10, as shown in FIG. A list is displayed one by one in eight peripheral divided display areas A2 different from the central divided display area A1 in A (step S13). At this time, the CPU 20 reads the translation of the same word source word in each peripheral divided display area A2 and the word source of each word component in the same word source word from the dictionary database 821 with word source, and displays the corresponding peripheral divided display. It is displayed in the area A2. Further, at this time, the CPU 20 identifies and displays a word component corresponding to the selected word source in a predetermined color among the word component parts of the same word source word in the peripheral division display area A2.

  Next, the CPU 20 determines whether or not any of the same-word source words listed on the main display 10 by a user operation is specified as a specified word (step S14), and determines that it is not specified (step S14). ;) To other processing.

  Further, when it is determined in step S14 that any one of the homologous words is designated as the designated word (step S14; Yes), the CPU 20 erases all the displays in the nine divided display areas A. The word source of the new designated word is read out from the dictionary database 821 with word source, and the designated word, the translation of the designated word, the word component part of the designated word, and the word source of each of the plurality of word component parts are displayed in the central divided display area A1. Are displayed as a list (step S15).

  Next, the CPU 20 selects any one word source selected by the user operation from among the word sources displayed as a list in the central divided display area A1 as a selected word source (step S30). In step S30, the CPU 20 identifies and displays the word component corresponding to the selected word source in a predetermined color among the designated words in the central divided display area A1.

  Next, the CPU 20 designates, as a marker display character string, the word constituent part identified and displayed among the designated words displayed in the central divided display area A1, that is, the word constituent part corresponding to the selected word source, The position information of the marker display character string is stored in the marker word book table 84 (step S31), and the process proceeds to step S12 described above.

  If it is determined in step S9 that the selected word source display mode is not selected by the user operation, that is, if it is determined that the collective word source display mode is selected (step S9; No), the CPU 20 The word source of the designated word is read out from the dictionary database 821 with word source, and the display area of the main display 10 is divided into a grid pattern vertically and horizontally to form a total of nine divided display areas A. Of these, a designated word, a translation of the designated word, a word component of the designated word, and a word source of each of the plurality of word components are displayed in a list in the central divided display area A1. (Step S16).

  Next, the CPU 20 selects the word source of the prefix of the designated word as the selected word source, displays the selected word source in red in the central divided display area A1, and displays the word component (prefix) corresponding to the selected word source in red. To identify and display (step S17).

  Next, the CPU 20 performs a synonym word extraction process (step S18) as in step S12 described above. In the synonym word processing in step S18, the “predetermined number” in step T7 (in the peripheral divided display area A2 used for displaying the synonym word including the prefix in the designated word and the prefix of the synonym source is displayed. “3” is used as the number.

  Next, the CPU 20 displays the synonym word stored in the synonym word storage table 901 by the synonym word extraction process on the left side of the central divided display area A1 among the nine divided display areas A formed on the main display 10. Are displayed one by one in the three peripheral division display areas A2 located in the list (step S19). At this time, the CPU 20 displays the selected word source (prefix word source of the designated word) and the word component (prefix) corresponding to the selected word source in red in the three peripheral division display areas A2.

  Next, the CPU 20 selects the word source of the stem of the designated word as the selected word source, identifies and displays the selected word source in green in the central divided display area A1, and identifies the word component (stem) corresponding to the selected word source in green It is displayed (step S20).

  Next, the CPU 20 performs a synonym word extraction process (step S21) as in step S12 described above. In the homogeneity word processing in step S21, the “predetermined number” in step T7 (the number of peripheral divided display areas A2 used for displaying synonym words including the stem of the designated word and the stem of the synonym) “2” is used.

  Next, the CPU 20 displays the synonym word stored in the synonym word storage table 901 by the synonym word extraction process above the central divided display area A1 among the nine divided display areas A formed on the main display 10. In addition, one list is displayed on each of the two peripheral division display areas A2 positioned on the lower side and displayed as a list (step S22). At this time, the CPU 20 identifies and displays the selected word source (the word source of the stem of the designated word) and the word component (the word stem) corresponding to the selected word source in green in these two peripheral divided display areas A2.

  Next, the CPU 20 selects the word source of the suffix of the designated word as the selected word source, displays the selected word source in blue in the central divided display area A1, and displays the word component (suffix) corresponding to the selected word source in blue To identify and display (step S23).

  Next, the CPU 20 performs a synonym word extraction process in the same manner as in step S12 described above (step S24). In the synonym word processing in step S24, the “predetermined number” in step T7 (in the peripheral divided display area A2 used for displaying synonym words including the suffix in the designated word and the suffix of the synonym source). “3” is used as the number.

  Next, the CPU 20 displays the synonym word stored in the synonym word storage table 901 by the synonym word extraction process on the right side of the central divided display area A1 among the nine divided display areas A formed on the main display 10. Are displayed one by one in the three peripheral division display areas A2 positioned at (1) and displayed as a list (step S25), and the process proceeds to the above-described step S14. In step S25, the CPU 20 identifies and displays the selected word source (the word source of the suffix of the designated word) and the word component (suffix) corresponding to the selected word source in blue in these three peripheral divided display areas A2. Let

[1.4 Example of operation]
Next, the operation of the electronic dictionary 1 described above will be specifically described with reference to the drawings. In the drawing referred to in the following operation example, the area surrounded by a broken line is a color corresponding to this area (“R”: red (Red), “G”: green (Green), “B”). : Blue) indicates that characters in the area are displayed.

  First, as shown in FIG. 5A, when the user selects the marker word book table 84 (step S6; Yes), a list display frame W1 and a preview display frame W2 are formed on the main display 10, and the marker word book is formed. The words stored in the table 84 (here, only the English word “incredible”) are displayed in a list in the list display frame W1, and the word “incredible” specified by the user operation is highlighted as a specified word. The explanation information of the designated word is read from the English-Japanese dictionary database 822 and previewed in the preview display frame W2 (step S7).

  Next, when the user selects the same word source list display function (step S8; Yes) and selects the selected word source display mode (step S9; Yes), each word component in the designated word “incredible” from the word source dictionary database 821. The word sources "in-", "cred-", and "-ble" are read out. Further, as shown in FIG. 5B, a total of nine divided display areas A are formed in the display area of the main display 10, and the designated word “incredible” and the translation of the designated word “ Unbelievable ”, the word component“ in- ”,“ cred- ”,“ -ble ”of the specified word, and the origin of each of these multiple word components“ in- (negative, opposite, into) ”, "Cred-", ... is displayed in a list. (Step S10). In this operation example, a “mandala” icon I is displayed at the end of the main display 10, and the touch operation on the “mandala” icon I selects the synonym source list display function. Is called. Further, in FIG. 5B, illustration of the word component “-ble” and its word source is omitted.

  Next, when the user selects the word source “in- (negation, opposite, inward)” displayed in the central divided display area A1 as the selected word source (step S11), the selected word source “in− ( "Negative, Opposite, Into") and the word component "in" corresponding to the selected word source "in- (Negative, Opposite, Into)" in the specified word "incredible" It is identified and displayed in red.
