Abstract

PURPOSE:To preferentially select a word whose selection probability is high and improve the maintainability of a dictionary by retaining selection frequency information on words by each user as a selection history and referring to the selection history at the time of word retrieval. CONSTITUTION:Plural users use the word dictionary 5 in common through terminals 6 and 7 for document processing on a computer. In selection history information parts 3 and 4 of the terminals 6 and 7, the selection frequency information on words is retained, user by user, as selection histories from the word dictionary 5 in retrieval processes of words. Then when retrieval parts 1A and 1B of the terminals 6 and 7 retrieve homonyms, the selection histories stored in the selection history information parts 3 and 4 are referred to and then the respective users themselves can retrieve words which are high in selection probability preferentially in the word dictionary 5.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a dictionary management system in which a central computer has a shared word dictionary and each user terminal uses this word dictionary for document processing, and particularly, search history information at the time of word search. The present invention relates to a dictionary management method in which is distributed to each user.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional dictionary management system, as shown in FIG. 2, a common word dictionary 5 in the center and the word search frequency of each user are integrated, and control is performed so that words with high frequency are output. It has a selection history information section 8. On the other hand, the terminals A6 and B7 of a plurality of users have a search unit 1A, a display unit 2A, a search unit 1B, and a display unit 2B, respectively. The operation of this conventional example is the same as that of terminal A6 and terminal B7.
When accessing the word dictionary 5 from the search units 1A and 1B to search for the word, there are four types of Kanji words "Koukai" from "public" to "koukai", A, B, C, and D. To do. In the central selection history information section 8, for example, A to
Since the search frequency of D is accumulated, the "cumulative" of D is 90 + 80, which is the most accumulated search value. Therefore, both the terminals A6 and B7 are first contacted with the characters "Koukai" as information and displayed on the display units 2A and 2B.

[0003]

In this conventional dictionary management system, a plurality of users commonly use one dictionary,
Moreover, the reference frequency information at the time of search reflects the cumulative value of the selection results of multiple users, and the learning effect for each user is often buried. In addition, there is a drawback that the search order of words is constantly changing and there is concern about the maintenance of the search order of the dictionary.

[0004]

The dictionary management system of the present invention is a dictionary management system in which a plurality of users commonly use a word dictionary for document processing on a computer, and each user uses a word dictionary from the word dictionary in a word search process. A first means for storing the selection frequency information of the above as a selection history for each user; and a first means for each user to preferentially search a word having a high selection probability from the word dictionary by referring to the selection history at the time of word search. 2 means.

[0005]

The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. In the embodiment of FIG. 1, the same reference numerals as those in the conventional example of FIG. 2 have the same functions. That is, in this embodiment, the terminal A6 has the dedicated selection history information section 3, and the terminal B7 also has the dedicated selection history information section 4.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. The word dictionary 5 is commonly used by the user terminals A6 and B7. Both users A and B are now "Koukai"
The word dictionary 5 is searched for the word "kokai", but the word dictionary 5 contains the words "kokai" for A, B,
There are four types, C and D. Each of the users A and B has their own selection history information section 3 and 4, and manages which of the four words has the most selected history of each user. In other words, user A has a track record of using "public" 100 times, and user B has most selected "regret". Therefore, the users A and B preferentially output "public" and "regret" to the display units 1B and 1A, respectively.

[0007]

As described above, according to the present invention, each user saves the word selection frequency information as a user's own selection history in a memory other than the dictionary body or in an external memory, so that the selection history at the time of word search. By referring to
It is possible to preferentially select a word having a high self-selection probability. Further, by only referring to the dictionary body, there is an effect that the integrity of the dictionary is improved.
