Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic book device,
Especially, it relates to an electronic dictionary.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a computerized dictionary in an electronic book device has only a function of searching for a word and checking its meaning, like a dictionary of a book, and it has no choice but to use the vocabulary of a dictionary that has already been completed. I could only search for a word and find out what it meant.

As an example of a conventional electronic book apparatus, there is an invention of a data search apparatus described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-334356 or an invention of a data search apparatus described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-257978. . However, the inventions described in these publications are configured for the purpose of improving functions, operability, speed, etc. when searching an electronic dictionary in an electronic book. Data cannot be registered.

[0004]

In the above-mentioned conventional electronic book apparatus, the electronic dictionary can only search a word from the already registered vocabulary and look up its meaning. Therefore, the user does not have a function of registering a new word or additionally registering the meaning of the word to create and utilize a unique electronic dictionary.

In view of the above points, an object of the present invention is to provide an electronic book device which expands the use range of the electronic dictionary.

[0006]

To achieve the above object, an electronic book apparatus according to the present invention comprises a data input device, a data display device, a storage device for storing dictionary data, the data input device and the data. An electronic book device having a display device and a control device for controlling the storage device, the registration request device inputting a first word to be newly registered and a meaning of the first word, and the registration request. A registration control device for registering the first word and the meaning of the first word input from a device, the first word and the meaning of the first word registered by the registration control device, and the storage And a learning function control device for managing and controlling the second to Nth words and the meanings of the second to Nth words already stored in the device.

In the electronic book device according to the present invention, the learning function control device compares the first word with the second to Nth words already stored in the storage device, and compares the first word with the second word. If the first word matches the Mth word of the second to Nth words, the meaning of the first word is added to the meaning of the Mth word and updated in the storage device. When the first word is registered and the first word does not match any of the second to Nth words, the first word and the meaning of the first word are newly registered in the storage device. can do.

[0008]

Since the electronic book device of the present invention thus constructed has the registration requesting device, the registration controlling device, and the learning function controlling device, not only the completed dictionary is searched, but also a new user is requested. It is possible to register words in, and manage the words that the user has checked and the meanings of the words by using the learning function, and manage all the meanings of the registered words in the dictionary data. When searching for a word, all the saved dictionary data can be referenced.

As a result, the user can check the different meanings of the already registered word, update the registered meaning of the word already registered in the registration control device, and manage it. This makes it possible to create a unique electronic dictionary, expand the range of use of the electronic dictionary, and use the electronic book device as a unique learning tool.

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of an electronic book device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The configuration of FIG. 1 will be described. The registration request unit 1
The user inputs a word that requires registration. The registration control unit 2 registers the word input from the registration requesting unit 1 and transmits it to the learning function control unit 3. The learning function control unit 3 manages and controls the information on the words transmitted from the registration control unit 2 and the information on the already registered words. The storage unit 4 stores information on registered words. The display requesting unit 5 inputs a word that the user requests to display. Display control unit 6
Receives the word input from the display requesting unit 5, reads the information of the corresponding word stored in the storage unit 4, and transmits it to the display unit 7. The display unit 7 displays the word information transmitted from the display control unit 6.

The operation of FIG. 1 will be described. When the user requests the registration request unit 1 to register a word, the registration control unit 2 receives and registers the word input from the registration request unit 1, and transmits the word to the learning function control unit 3. The learning function control unit 3 confirms whether the word transmitted from the registration control unit 2 is a registered word.

When the transmitted information is a word that has already been registered, the meaning of the transmitted word is additionally registered to the already registered meaning, and a plurality of meanings can be registered using the learning function. ,to manage.

If the transmitted information is a word that has not been registered, the word and its meaning are registered and managed as a new word.

The registered information is stored in the storage unit 4. Then, when a registration request is made from the registration request unit 1 next time, the display control unit 6 reads out the word and confirms whether the word for which the registration request is made is a new word or a word to which a meaning is added. Used for.

When the meaning of the word for which the registration request is made by the registration request unit 1 is the already registered meaning,
The display unit 7 displays that registration is not required.

The words registered by these functions are
When the user requests the display requesting unit 5 to display the registered words, the display control unit 6 receives the information of the words input from the display requesting unit 5 and stores the corresponding words stored in the storage unit 4. Is read out and displayed on the display unit 7.

When performing new registration and additional registration,
It is also possible to display the word on the display unit 7 and confirm the meaning of the already registered word while additionally registering the meaning of the word.

[0020]

As described above, according to the present invention, by having the registration requesting device, the registration controlling device, and the learning function controlling device, not only the completed dictionary is searched, but also the user newly creates a word. You can register and manage multiple words that the user checked and their meanings by using the learning function, and save all the meanings of the registered multiple words as dictionary data. When searching for a word, it is possible to refer to all the saved dictionary data.

As a result, the user can check the different meanings of the already registered word, update and register the meaning of the word already registered in the registration control device, and manage it. Therefore, it is possible to create an original electronic dictionary, expand the range of use of the electronic dictionary, and use the electronic book device as an original learning tool.
