Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic dictionary with a wordbook function, such as English, in which words for which a dictionary has been drawn can be stored and called later freely.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Here, as shown in FIG. 4, an electronic dictionary has a dictionary content that is normally used as a memory and has a dictionary data section 21 in which necessary word spellings are input from a display screen 27. The dictionary function unit 23 has a function of extracting the corresponding data from the dictionary data unit 21 and displaying the data on the display unit 25.

Therefore, in the conventional electronic dictionary, when the spelling of a word drawn by the attached keyboard is input, the meaning of the word and the word, pronunciation, usage, etc. are displayed, and some of them are synonyms and the like. Display closely spelled words.

[0004]

However, the current electronic dictionary has only the original dictionary function and does not function as a so-called word book. Here, a wordbook is a notebook that is useful when students etc. want to learn words efficiently and easily anywhere, by organizing the words drawn from the dictionary and their meaning contents in alphabetical order or part-of-speech order. It means something like.

Therefore, in order to efficiently learn a word, the word is always transferred to a notebook type word book, but this has a problem that it takes a lot of time and labor. .

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and after drawing a word in an electronic dictionary, registering the word,
Since you can call it, you can save time and effort such as transcribing words to a notebook vocabulary,
An object of the present invention is to provide an electronic dictionary with a wordbook function, in which, when memorizing a word, an unmemorized word is repeatedly displayed until it can be stored.

[0007]

In order to achieve such an object, the present invention provides a word book data section in which a word and a meaning of the word are registered in an electronic dictionary for displaying the word, The present invention is characterized by having a word book function unit for performing a storage process for performing the registration and further a process for taking out from the word book data unit and an editing process for display.

A second aspect of the present invention is characterized in that the word book function section is provided with a storage processing function of discriminating between memorized words and unmemorized words and registering both words.

A third aspect of the invention is characterized in that the word subjected to the identification process is displayed as a mark on the display section.

A fourth aspect of the invention is characterized by performing a memorized word cancellation processing function.

A fifth aspect of the invention is characterized in that a processing function for calling only unmemorized words is provided.

[0012]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, in an electronic dictionary for displaying words, the wordbook data section registers a word and the meaning of the word, and the wordbook function section stores the storage and further displays the word. For this reason, since the extraction processing and the editing processing from the word book data section are performed, the time and labor for transcribing words to the notebook word book can be greatly reduced.

In the second invention, since the memorized word and the unmemorized word are registered separately, both words can be called separately.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the identification-processed words are displayed as marks, it is possible to immediately confirm whether the words have been memorized or not.

In the fourth invention, in the case of the memorized word in the third invention, when the word is canceled, the memorized mark display disappears.

According to the fifth aspect of the invention, by providing the processing for calling the unmemorized word, the unmemorized word can be repeatedly displayed until it is stored.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an electronic dictionary with a wordbook function showing an embodiment. When the spelling of a word is input from the display screen 1, the dictionary function unit 33 causes the dictionary data unit 31 registered in the alphabetical order of the word-book function-equipped electronic dictionary 3 or the like.
The relevant word or the like is taken out, the word or the like is passed to the display unit 35, and is displayed on the display screen 1 of the display unit 35. By the word registration processing 41 of the word book function unit 37, the word book data unit 3
Words etc. are registered in 9. On the other hand, in the word extraction, the word calling processing 42 extracts the word or the like from the word book data section 39, passes the word or the like to the display section 35, and displays the word or the like on the display screen 1.

The processing contents of the wordbook data section 39 and the wordbook function section 37 of the wordbook function-equipped electronic dictionary 3 having such a configuration will be described in detail. Wordbook data section 3
9 has a logical section 40 for facilitating access when viewed from the inside of the apparatus and for facilitating organization by having some filings when viewed by the user.

Next, each process (from the word registration 41 to the edit 47 shown in FIG. 1) of the word book function unit 37 for writing to and reading from the word book data unit 39 will be described. A key is assigned on the display screen for executing each process.

Therefore, when these "keys" are pressed, each processing of the word book function unit 37 operates. To explain each of these processes, the display screen 1 starts with calling a word by the electronic dictionary function. When a read request is made from the dictionary data section by inputting the spelling of a word like drawing a normal dictionary, if there are a plurality of words and their meanings, all are displayed as shown in FIG. The contents of FIG. 2 may be understood as the contents of a normal dictionary.

Returning to FIG. 1, the word registration processing 41 of the word book function unit 37 uses the word and the like to store the word and the like in the word book data unit 39.
Register to. Further, if the "meaning" of the word is desired to be registered, the "meaning part to be registered" is selected and registered.

When calling out the registered words, the word calling process 42 displays the words one by one. Since it is intended to be used like a word book, that is, to check for yourself whether or not the user remembers the meaning of the word,
At this time, no meaning is displayed. The word search method in this case is specified by designating a mode switching process 46 capable of switching the display order. As this mode, (a) registration order, (b) registration reverse order, (c) alphabetical order, (d) specific alphabetic word order,
(E) Part of speech order, (f) random order, etc. are provided. Also, combinations of these are possible.

Here, (a) the order of registration is the order of words registered in the logical section 40 of the word book data section 39,
(B) The reverse order of registration is the reverse order of (a), (c) the alphabetical order is the alphabetical order within the logical division 40 of the wordbook data section, and (d) the specific alphabetical order is the word From the designated specific alphabet in the logical division 40 of the book data part is usually in alphabetical order, and (e) the part-of-speech order means a verb, a noun, etc. in the logical division 40 of the word book data part. In order of cohesion.

As the other processing contents, the next call processing 4
3 displays the word next to the displayed word, and the pre-call process 44 displays the previous word. The wordbook selection process 45 is a process of selecting the logical division 40 of the wordbook data section 39. The editing process 47 edits the above-mentioned logical divisions. It should be noted that such a publication process is an example.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the present invention. The same parts as those in FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals. In the embodiment of FIG. 3, in addition to the word registration processing 41 to the editing processing 47 shown in the embodiment of FIG. 1, the word book function unit 37 includes a memorized registration / cancellation function processing 51, a memorized registration reset processing 52, and It is the same as the embodiment of FIG. 1 that an unmemorized word calling process 53 is provided and a “key” is assigned on the display screen or the like to execute each of these processes. Therefore,
By operating these "keys", the word book function unit 3
Each process of 7 operates.

Next, each processing 5 of the word book function unit 37 of FIG.
1, 52 and 53 will be described. First, the memorized registration / cancellation function process 51 performs the following process. Whether the user remembers (memorizes) the meaning of the word by operating the word recall key and the meaning key (the processing of this meaning key is not shown) to display the registered word and the meaning on the display screen. Check if If it is determined by this confirmation that the user has memorized the word, the memorized registration / cancel function key is pressed to register the word as memorized. After that, when the word registered as memorized is displayed,
Display a "memorized mark" at an appropriate position on the display screen.

The memorized registration can be canceled by pressing the memorized registration / cancel function key while displaying the word registered as memorized. At this time, the "memorized mark" being displayed disappears. When it is desired to cancel the memorized registration all at once, the key can be pressed down in order to perform the memorized registration reset processing 52.

The unmemorized word calling process 53 is for calling an unmemorized word, which is a process for calling the unmemorized word by pressing the unmemorized word calling key and displaying it on the display screen. . In this process, the operation and effect of the meaning key, the mode switching key, etc. are the same as those at the time of calling a word, as in the above-mentioned embodiment.
