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

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the flow of word display processing that the CPU 20 reads and executes the word display control 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 (registering) the specified headword in the marker word book table 84 is performed (step S4), and when it is determined not to be performed (step S4; No) shifts to another process.

  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 displays the word source classification icon 101 (see FIG. 5A) on the left end of the main display 10, and determines whether or not a touch operation is performed on the word source classification icon 101 (step S8). ), If it is determined not to be performed (step S8; No), the process proceeds to another process.

  If it is determined in step S8 that the touch operation has been performed on the word source classification icon 101 (step S8; Yes), the CPU 20 refers to the word source dictionary database 821 and stores it in the marker word book table 84. Each word is classified according to the combination of the word component included in the word and the word source, and the classification result is temporarily stored in the word source classified word storage area 86 as the word source classified word data 860 (step S9).

  Next, the CPU 20 displays a list of words stored in the marker word book table 84 in the list display frame W1, and displays the word constituent parts included in each word as a marker for each type for identification display (step) S10). Thereby, the word memorize | stored in the marker word book table 84 will be displayed according to the classification | category in step S9, and, more specifically, each word component included in each word is classified for each type of word component. The identification is displayed. At this time, the CPU 20 highlights any one of the words designated by the user operation, reads out the explanation information (meaning content, word source, etc.) of the word from the English-Japanese dictionary database 822 and displays it in the preview display frame W2. Let As a result, the word source of the word component included in the word is displayed in association with any of the words displayed in a classified manner.

  Next, the CPU 20 displays the test icon 102 (see FIG. 5B) on the left end of the main display 10, and determines whether or not a touch operation is performed on the test icon 102 (step S21). If it is determined not to be performed (step S21; No), the process proceeds to another process.

  If it is determined in step S21 that the touch operation has been performed on the test icon 102 (step S21; Yes), the CPU 20 refers to the word meaning database 85 and stores it in the marker word book table 84. The meaning of the word component included in the word and the number of words of the word component (the number of words including the word component of the word source among the registered words in the marker word book table 84) for each word source of the word component Are displayed on the main display 10 (step S22). Further, at this time, the CPU 20 refers to the test information 840 of each word in the marker word book table 84, and the number of words that have not been tested yet, the number of words that have been correctly tested, and the test was not correctly answered. The number of words is displayed for each word source of the word component.

  Next, the CPU 20 selects any word source displayed on the main display 10 as a selected word source in accordance with a user operation (step S23), and a marker word book table among words including a word component of the selected word source. In 84, the word stored at the head is designated as the designated word (step S24).

  Next, the CPU 20 reads out the description information and the word source of the designated word from the dictionary database 821 with the word source and displays it on the main display 10, and also makes the designated word included in the displayed information a latent image and displays it hidden (step). S25). As a result, a filling test for answering the hidden word (designated word) is displayed.

  Next, after inputting the spelling of the word according to the user operation (step S26), the CPU 20 determines whether the spelling is correct and displays the determination result on the main display 10 (step S27). At this time, the CPU 20 updates the test information 840 for the designated word in the marker word book table 84.

  Next, the CPU 20 determines whether or not the next word including the word component of the selected word source exists in the marker word book table 84 (step S30). If it is determined that it exists (step S30; Yes) After the next word is designated as the designated word (step S31), the process proceeds to step S25 described above.

  If it is determined in step S30 that the next word including the word component of the selected word source does not exist in the marker word book table 84 (step S30; No), the CPU 20 performs an operation to end the word display process. Is determined (step S32).

  And when it determines with operation to complete | finish a word display process not being performed in this step S32 (step S32; No), CPU20 complete | finishes a word display process, while transfering to the above-mentioned step S22. If it is determined that an operation to that effect has been performed (step S32; Yes), the word display process is terminated.

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

  First, when the user selects the marker word book table 84 (step S6; Yes), as shown in FIG. 5A, 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 “able”, “concede”,... Stored in the table 84 are displayed as a list in the list display frame W1, and the word “able” is highlighted as a designated word, and the explanation information of the designated word “able” Is read from the English-Japanese dictionary database 822 and previewed in the preview display frame W2 (step S7).

  Next, when the user performs a touch operation on the word source classification icon 101 (step S8; Yes), each word stored in the marker word book table 84 includes a word component included in the word, its word source, The classification results are temporarily stored, and the classification result is temporarily stored (step S9).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), the words stored in the marker word book table 84 are listed in the list display frame W1, and the word components included in each word are displayed as markers for each type. Then, identification display is performed (step S10).

  Next, when the user performs a touch operation on the test icon 102 (step S21; Yes), as shown in FIG. 5C, the word component included in the word stored in the marker word book table 84 And the number of words including the word component of the word source are collected for each word source of the word component and displayed on the main display 10 (step S22). For example, for the word source “capable, possible”, the meaning “capable, possible” and the number of words “4” including the word components “able”, “abili”, “ible” of the word source are displayed. The word “3”, including the word component “ceed”, “cess”, and “ced (e)” of the word source, is displayed for the word “progress”. The number of words is collected and displayed for each word source of the word component. At this time, the number of words that have not been tested yet, the number of words that have been correctly answered in the test, and the number of words that have not been correctly answered in the test are displayed for each word component.

  Next, the word source “able,...” Displayed on the main display 10 is selected as a selected word source in accordance with a user operation (step S23), and among the words including the word components of the selected word source In the marker word book table 84, the word “disable” stored at the headmost side is designated as the designated word (step S24).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 5D, the explanation information and the word source of the designated word “disable” are read from the dictionary database 821 with word source and displayed, and the designated word “included in the displayed information“ “disable” is converted into a latent image and hidden (step S25). As a result, a filling test for answering the designated word “disable” is displayed.

  Next, when a spelling of a word is input in response to a user operation (step S26), whether the spelling is correct or not is determined, and the determination result is displayed on the main display 10 (step S27). The designation in the marker word book table 84 is performed. The word test information 840 is updated.

  According to the above electronic dictionary 1, as shown in steps S9 and S10 of FIG. 4, FIG. 5, etc., a plurality of similar word constituent parts are stored in the marker word book table 84 as the same kind of word constituent parts. Since each word that has been classified is classified according to the type of the word component and is displayed according to this classification, words including the same type of word component can be efficiently learned. In addition, since each word is classified and displayed for each combination of the type of the word component and the word source of the word component, the word including the same type of word component is learned while being aware of the difference in the word source. be able to.

  Further, as shown in steps S9 and S10 of FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 and the like, the words stored in the marker word book table 84 are displayed in a list, and each word component included in each word is displayed for each type. Since it is identified and displayed, it is possible to learn a word including the same type of word component while being aware of the difference in the word component.

  In addition, as shown in step SS10 of FIG. 4, FIG. 5 or the like, the word source of each word component included in the word is displayed in association with any of the words classified and displayed. Therefore, it is possible to learn a word including the same type of word component while learning the word source.

[2 Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment according to the present invention will be described. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the component similar to the said embodiment, and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

  [2.1 Configuration]

  As shown in FIG. 2, the electronic dictionary 1A according to the second embodiment includes a storage unit 80A. The storage unit 80A includes a word display control program 81A according to the present invention and a marker word book table 84A. Is remembered. Note that, unlike the storage unit 80 in the first embodiment, the storage unit 80A does not store the dictionary database 821 with word source.

  The word display control program 81A causes the CPU 25 to perform word display processing (see FIG. 6) described later.

  The marker word book table 84A stores the same information as the marker word book table 84 in the first embodiment, and also associates each registered word with the type name of each word component included in the word (for example, Spelling “ex”, etc.).

  In the present embodiment, the English-Japanese dictionary database 822 stored in the storage unit 80A stores simplified explanation information as shown in FIG. 3C. What is the dictionary database 821 with word source? Unlikely, it does not memorize word components or word origins.

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

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the flow of word display processing in which the CPU 20 reads and executes the word display control program 81A.

  As shown in this figure, first in the word display process, the CPU 20 determines whether or not the English-Japanese dictionary database 822 is selected by a user operation (step T1), and when it is determined that the English-Japanese dictionary database 822 is selected (step T1). ; Yes), as in step S2 described above, any headword in the English-Japanese dictionary database 822 is designated as a designated headword in accordance with a user operation (step T2).

  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 T3).

  Next, the CPU 20 determines whether or not a user operation for storing (registering) the specified headword in the marker word book table 84A is performed (step T4), and when it is determined not to be performed (step T4; No) shifts to another process.

  If it is determined in step T4 that a user operation for storing the specified headword in the marker word book table 84A has been performed (step T4; Yes), the CPU 20 stores the specified headword in the marker word book table 84A. 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 T5), and the process proceeds to the above-described step T2.

  If it is determined in step T1 that the English-Japanese dictionary database 822 is not selected by the user operation (step T1; No), the CPU 20 determines whether or not the marker word book table 84A is selected by the user operation. If it is determined (step T6) and it is determined that it is not selected (step T6; No), the process proceeds to another process.

  If it is determined in step T6 that the marker word book table 84A has been selected by a user operation (step T6; Yes), the CPU 20 displays a list of words stored in the marker word book table 84A on the main display 10. (Step T7).

  Next, the CPU 20 displays the prefix-by-word classification icon 103, the stem-by-word classification icon 104, the suffix-by-word classification icon 105, and the classification setting icon 106 (see FIG. 7A) at the left end of the main display 10. It is determined whether a touch operation is performed on any of the prefix-word classification icon 103, stem-word classification-word classification icon 104, and suffix-word classification icon 105 (steps). T8) If it is determined not to be performed (step T8; No), the process proceeds to another process.

Here, the classification setting icon 106 is an icon for resetting a plurality of word constituent parts classified into the same type into a plurality of different types.
The prefix-word classification icon 103, the stem-word classification icon 104, and the suffix-word classification icon 105 indicate categories (prefixes, stems, and suffixes) of word components for classifying words. This is an icon to specify. More specifically, the prefix-by-word classification icon 103 is an icon for designating a prefix as a category of word components and classifying words for each type of prefix. Further, the word stem-word classification icon 104 is an icon for designating a word stem as a category of word components and classifying the word for each type of word stem. The suffix-word classification icon 104 is an icon for specifying a suffix as the category of the word component and classifying the words for each type of suffix.

  If it is determined in step T8 that a touch operation has been performed on any one of the prefix-word classification icon 103, the stem-word classification icon 104, and the suffix-word classification icon 105 (step T8; Yes) ), The CPU 20 selects a word component category corresponding to the touched icon, that is, one of the prefix, stem, and suffix as the word component-selection category, and the word component-selection By treating similar spelling word constituent parts in categories as the same kind of word constituent parts, each word stored in the marker word book table 84A is classified for each word constituent part of the word constituent part-selected category, and the classification result is a word source. Temporarily stored in the word source classified word storage area 86 as classified word data 860 (step T11). Thereby, each word is classified so that the same or similar words in the word component-selected category have the same or similar spelling. For example, when the prefix-by-word classification icon 103 is touch-selected (when the word component-selection category is a prefix), the words “expect” and “export” with the prefix “ex” are the same classification. The words “import”, “inaccurate”, “incapable”, and “inspect” with the prefix “in” and “im” are classified as the same classification. In the present embodiment, since the words are classified according to the spelling of the word constituent parts, even if the spelling of the word constituent parts is the same, the words having different word sources may be classified into the same classification. For example, the word components “im” and “in” of “import” and “inspect” have the word origin “in”, and the word components “in” of “inaccurate” and “incapable” have the word “negative” However, these words have the same classification because the spelling of the word components is the same or similar. At this time, when the CPU 20 stores the type name of each word component included in the registered word in association with the registered word in the marker word book table 84A by the process of step T26 described later, Reclassify words according to this type.

  Next, the CPU 20 forms a type name tag display area E1 in the upper part of the main display 10, and forms a word display area E2 in the lower part of the type name tag display area E1 (see FIG. 7B). A type name tag Ta (see FIG. 7B) corresponding to each type (for example, “ex” of the prefix) of the word constituent parts belonging to the part-selected category is displayed in the type name tag display area E1 (step T12). ). At this time, the CPU 20 displays the type name tags Ta in the type name tag display area E1 side by side.

  Next, after the CPU 20 designates and displays the first (leftmost) type name tag Ta (step T13), the CPU 20 refers to the marker word book table 84A, and selects the word component portion of the type corresponding to the designated type name tag Ta ( For example, words including the prefix “ex” and the like are read from the marker word book table 84A and displayed in a list in the word display area E2 (step T21). At this time, the CPU 20 reads out the explanation information of each word from the English-Japanese dictionary database 822 and displays a preview display in the vicinity of the word.

  Next, the CPU 20 determines whether or not a touch operation is performed on any type name tag Ta (step T22). If it is determined that the touch operation is performed (step T22; Yes), the touch operation is performed. The performed type name tag Ta is designated and displayed (step T23), and the process proceeds to step T21 described above.

  If it is determined in step T22 that no touch operation is performed on any type name tag Ta (step T22; No), the CPU 20 performs a touch operation on the classification setting icon 106. It is determined whether or not (step T24).

  If it is determined in step T24 that the touch operation has been performed on the classification setting icon 106 (step T24; Yes), the CPU 20 responds to the user operation with any word displayed in the word display area E2. (Step T25). At this time, the user may designate one word or a plurality of words.

  Next, the CPU 20 sets the type name of the word component included in the designated word based on the user operation, and stores the type name in the marker word book table 84A in association with the word (step T26). .

  Next, the CPU 20 additionally displays the type name tag Ta of the newly set type name in the type name tag display area E1 and designates and displays this type name tag Ta (step T27), and then the above-described step T21. Migrate to As a result, a plurality of words classified for each type of word constituent part by further handling the word constituent parts of similar spelling as the same kind of word constituent parts are further classified by the user operation.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step T24 that the touch operation is not performed on the classification setting icon 106 (step T24; No), the CPU 20 drags and drops the type name tag Ta in the empty area below. It is determined whether or not an operation is performed (step T31).

  If it is determined in step T31 that the operation of dragging and dropping the type name tag Ta to the lower empty area has been performed (step T31; Yes), the CPU 20 sets the upper stage of the empty area to which the type name tag Ta is dropped. A new type name tag display area E1A and a new word display area E2A are formed below the type name tag display area E1A (see FIG. 8D), and the dragged and dropped type name tag Ta Is displayed in the type name tag display area E1A, and the word including the type of word component (for example, “ex” of the prefix) corresponding to the type name tag Ta is read from the marker word book table 84A and is displayed in the word display area. After displaying the list on E2A (step T32), the process proceeds to step T21 described above. Thereby, when the words further classified in the above-described step T27 according to the user operation are displayed separately in the word display areas E2 and E2A, the word components of these words are displayed so that they can be compared with each other. It becomes. However, instead of displaying these words separately in the word display areas E2 and E2A, by displaying the word component parts in different colors between the words set in different classifications, these word component parts are displayed. It is good also as displaying so that it can contrast.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step T31 that the operation of dragging and dropping the type name tag Ta to the empty area below is not performed (step T31; No), the CPU 20 places the test icon 102 on the left end of the main display 10. It is displayed and it is determined whether or not a touch operation is performed on the test icon 102 (step T33).

  If it is determined in step T33 that a touch operation has been performed on the test icon 102 (step T33; Yes), the CPU 20 proceeds to step S22 described above.

  When it is determined in step T33 that the touch operation is not performed on the test icon 102 (step T33; No), the CPU 20 excludes other operations (however, the operation for ending the word display process is excluded). ) Is determined (step T34).

  When it is determined in step T34 that another operation has been performed (step T34; Yes), the CPU 20 proceeds to another process corresponding to the operation.

  If it is determined in step T34 that no other operation is performed (step T34; No), the CPU 20 determines whether or not an operation to end the word display process is performed (step T35). .

  If it is determined in step T35 that the operation to end the word display process is not performed (step T35; No), the CPU 20 proceeds to step T21 described above, and ends the word display process. If it is determined that an operation to that effect has been performed (step T35; Yes), the word display process is terminated.
