Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a character display electronic device, and more particularly to an electronic character display electronic device that searches for and outputs and displays kanji compound words and their stroke order corresponding to input pronunciations.

[Prior art]

Conventional methods for outputting and displaying stroke order in this type of character display electronic equipment, such as kanji learning machines, are as follows:
A method is used in which the stroke order of all the kanji in a searched kanji compound word is output and displayed in order, starting from the first kanji in the compound word.

According to this method, for example, if the searched kanji idiom is ``desperate life'' and the operator only wants to know the stroke order of the last kanji character ``life,''
The operator has to wait until the previous stroke order of "Zettai Zetsu" is displayed, which is a waste of time. Moreover, if the operator wants to learn the stroke order of "life" repeatedly, the waste of time will be enormous. Also, if you want to know the stroke order of all the kanji for ``Zettai Zetsumei'' one by one, the stroke order of the kanji for ``Zetsu'' is 2.
Since it is displayed twice, it is wasteful to display it once.

As described above, conventional kanji learning machines have the drawback that they can waste a lot of time in learning stroke order, making it impossible to learn stroke order efficiently.

〔the purpose〕

An object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks and provide a character display electronic device that can efficiently learn the stroke order of kanji in kanji compound words.

In order to achieve this object, the character display electronic device according to the present invention includes a means for specifying a kanji whose stroke order is to be outputted among the searched kanji compound words;
A configuration is adopted in which a means is provided for re-outputting the stroke order of the kanji characters specified by the designation means and whose stroke order has been output. Hereinafter, details of the present invention will be explained based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 shows the overall configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. A CPU indicated by reference numeral 1 is a central processing unit and performs overall control operations. CPU1 is 1 chip LSI
It consists of a read-only memory (ROM) that stores control programs, a random access memory (RAM) for loading and unloading processing data, a control unit that performs control, etc. Further, the CPU 1 is provided with a counter that counts the number of inputs of a designated input key, which will be described later.

Connected to the CPU 1 are a group of input keys K1 to K4 for inputting reading kana data and commands for control operations, and a fixed storage device 2 that stores data necessary for searching and outputting. Also, for CPU1,
A display 4 is connected via a display driver 3 that converts an output signal from the CPU 1 into a drive signal for the display 4. The display device 4 displays arrow marks and the like to designate kanji to display readings, kanji idioms, stroke order of kanji, and stroke order.

Among the input key groups K1 to K4, the kana key group K1 is used to input kana pronunciations of kanji and compound words, and is composed of kana keys corresponding to 50 syllables. The kanji key K2 is a command input key for causing the CPU 1 to perform a control operation for searching and displaying a kanji compound word corresponding to the input pronunciation. The designation key K3 is an input key for designating the stroke order of which kanji among the displayed kanji phrases should be displayed. The stroke order key K4 is a command input key for displaying the stroke order of the kanji character designated by inputting the designation key K3.

On the other hand, in the fixed storage device 2, data such as the pronunciations of Kanji compound words, the display pattern of the Kanji compound words corresponding to the pronunciations, and the stroke order of the Kanji characters are stored in the alphabetical order of the pronunciations corresponding to each address. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the fixed storage device 2 stores data of 1945 commonly used kanji characters and two kanji compound words formed by combinations thereof.

The CPU 1 operates in accordance with a control program using a known ROM system, and performs control operations through various signal processing based on input signals from input key groups K1 to K4. During the search/display operation, the search operation is performed based on the data stored in the fixed storage device 2, and a signal is output to the display driver 4. The output signal of the CPU 1 is converted by the display driver 4 into a signal for driving the display 3 and sent to the display 3, where kanji phrases, stroke order, etc. are displayed.

Next, the operation of this embodiment having the above configuration will be explained in the second section.
This will be explained according to Figures A and B. Figure 2 A and B are
FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the flow of control operations of the CPU 1. FIG.

Here, the pronunciation "Dokushiyo" is input into the CPU 1 by the key input of the kana input key group K1, and then by the key input of the kanji key K2.
1 searches the data in the fixed storage device 2 for the kanji idiom "reading" that corresponds to the reading kana "dokushiyo", outputs a signal to the display driver 4, and displays "reading←" on the display 3.
It is assumed that the display is made as follows. Since the operations during this time are well known, their explanations will be omitted, and the subsequent operation of specifying the kanji character whose stroke order is to be displayed will be explained with reference to FIG. 2A, and further the stroke order display operation will be explained with reference to FIG. 2B.

At this initial point, the display 3 is displaying "Reading ← Book", but the arrow "←" in the display is 1
Indicates that the kanji number ``Yomi'' is specified for stroke order display.

The designation key K3 is pressed and input is performed (Fig. 2A)
middle step S1) and CPU1 read the kanji compound word ``Yomi←
After displaying the message "1", add "1" to the counter that counts the key inputs of the designated key K3 (step
S2). In this case, since the key input of the designated key K3 is the first time, the count value obtained by adding "1" is "1".

Next, the CPU 1 determines whether the count value is an odd number (step S3). In this case, the count value is "1", which is an odd number, and if YES is determined, the kanji to be displayed in stroke order is set as the second kanji "calligraphy" (step S4). This setting is performed, for example, by setting a flip-flop.

Next, move the display arrow 2 to indicate the kanji to be displayed in stroke order.
Turn to the second kanji (step S5). i.e.
The CPU 1 outputs a signal to the display driver 4 and makes the display on the display 3 read ←.

Next, a key input waiting routine is entered. If the designated key K3 is input again in this key input waiting routine, the process returns to step S1 and performs the same operation as before. However, the count value becomes "2" in step S2. Therefore, the count value is an even number, so the answer at step S3 is NO. In that case, the CPU 1 sets the kanji to be displayed in stroke order to the first kanji "yomi" (step S6). Furthermore, point the above-mentioned arrow at the first kanji (step S7). That is, the display 3 displays "reading ← writing", and then a key input waiting routine is entered. That's all, step S
The operations from 1 to S7 specify the kanji to be displayed in stroke order.

When the stroke order key K4 is input in the key input waiting routine, the CPU 1 proceeds to the stroke order display control operation shown in FIG. 2B.

When the stroke order key K4 is input (step 8), it is determined whether the first kanji is set to be displayed in stroke order (step 9).

If the first kanji "Yomi" is set and it is determined as YES, a signal is output to the display driver 4 based on the stroke order data in the fixed storage device 2, and the first kanji "Yomi" is displayed on the display 3. ” (step S10). And when the stroke order display is finished,
The kanji idiom and the arrow are displayed on the display 3 in the same state as in the key input waiting routine, that is, ``reading←sho'' (step S12). Next, a key input waiting routine is entered.

If the second kanji ``sho'' is set at step S9 and the determination is NO, the stroke order of the second kanji ``sho'' is displayed on the display 3 (step S11). When the stroke order display is completed, the process proceeds to step S12 described above, where kanji compound words and arrows are displayed. In this case, the display will be "reading → book". Next, a key input waiting routine is entered.

When the designated key K3 is input during this key input waiting routine, the CPU 1 performs the operations from steps S1 to S7, and the setting of the kanji to be displayed in stroke order is changed. Subsequently, by inputting the stroke order key K4, the stroke order of that Kanji character is displayed in steps S8 to S12.

Also, during this key input waiting routine, the stroke order key K
When 4 is input again, the CPU 1 repeats the operations from steps S8 to S12, thereby displaying the stroke order of the same kanji again. That is, by successively inputting the stroke order key K4, the stroke order of the same kanji is repeatedly displayed.

Note that during this key input waiting routine, if an input is made using an input key other than the designated key K1 and the stroke order key K4, for example, the kana key group K1, the CPU
1, the routine proceeds to the corresponding control operation routine.

According to the operations described above, the Chinese character to be displayed in stroke order is arbitrarily specified by inputting the designation key K3, and the stroke order display of that Chinese character is displayed an arbitrary number of times by inputting the stroke order key K4.

In the embodiments described above, in order to simplify the explanation, the target kanji compound words are explained as two-character ones, but of course the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention can also be applied to kanji compound words with three or more letters. be able to. In that case, in the control operation of CPU1,
It is sufficient to expand each of the determination operation in step 3 in FIG. 2A and the subsequent response operation, and the determination operation in step S9 in FIG. 2B and the subsequent response operation to three or more types.

〔effect〕

As is clear from the above description, the character display electronic device according to the present invention includes a means for specifying a kanji whose stroke order is to be outputted from among searched kanji phrases, and a means for specifying a kanji whose stroke order is to be outputted by the specifying means. Since we have adopted a configuration that includes means for re-outputting the stroke order of kanji, the operator can specify any kanji among the kanji compound words to be output and have that stroke order output an arbitrary number of times, saving time. It is possible to perform efficient and reliable stroke order learning without waste.
