FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the apparatus of the present invention.
In FIG. 2, the apparatus of the present invention includes a CPU 1, an LCD 2,
It comprises a CD driver 3, a RAM 4, a ROM 5, and a KEY 6.

The CPU 1 controls the apparatus.
An arithmetic unit 11 and a gate array 12 are provided. The LCD 2 is a display unit that performs display, and the LCD driver 3 is an LCD driver.
2 is performed. The RAM 4 is a writable memory and includes a work RAM 41. The ROM 5 stores programs for operating the apparatus and dictionary data 51. KEY 6 is an input unit for detecting a key input.

The work RAM 41 includes a display buffer 41.
a, dictionary data buffer 41b, omission state buffer 41
c, a display mode buffer 41d.

FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining abbreviated display processing based on data stored in each memory.

The display buffer 41a is a buffer for storing data to be displayed on the LCD 2, the dictionary data buffer 41b is a buffer for storing called dictionary data, and the omitted state buffer 41c stores an omitted state for each section. Display mode buffer 41
A buffer d stores a display mode corresponding to a key operation of the designation key F.

The dictionary data 51 is dictionary data for storing dictionary data. For each word, a headword, a translation,
Contains example sentences, explanations, phrases, separated compound words, and others.

Hereinafter, the abbreviated display processing will be described. Enter the headword you want to search from alphabet key D,
When the search key E is pressed, the dictionary data of the headword is called from the dictionary data 51 to the dictionary data buffer 41b (process).

The dictionary data called into the dictionary data buffer 41b is transferred to the display buffer 41a while converting it according to the display mode set in the display mode buffer 41d and the omission state for each section set in the omission state buffer 41c. (processing).

The conversion is performed by searching for a section existing in the dictionary data and serving as a mark for abbreviated display, for example, a heading, a part of speech, and a section number. The headline, part of speech (including-), and the section number, which are the section, are always located at the head of the data and next to the line feed in the dictionary data, and the search is performed using the line feed as a mark. Further, the part of speech and the section number as the section differ for each headword. Then, the division is transferred in a format that allows the omission state of the division to be identified when displayed. Here, the sections are displayed in reverse video and transferred. The next time a translation is transferred, characters enclosed in symbols, parentheses, etc. are skipped, the first translation is identified, and characters that can be judged to be breaks in the translation, such as commas and line feeds, are transmitted as the first translation. I do.

The dictionary data transferred to the display buffer 41a is displayed on the display screen of the LCD 2 (processing).

A key C is set for each section in order to easily switch between detailed display and abbreviated display of the section (process).

FIGS. 4 and 5 are flowcharts of the display processing of the abbreviated display and the detailed display. First, input a headword to be searched from the alphabet key D, and enter a search key E
Is pressed, the dictionary data of the headword is called from the dictionary data 51 to the dictionary data buffer 41b (step S).
1).

Next, it is determined whether or not the display mode is the abbreviated display mode based on the setting of the display mode buffer 41d. If the display mode is the detail display mode, the process proceeds to step S3; if the display mode is the abbreviated display mode, the process proceeds to step S4.

In step S3, the dictionary data buffer 41
The section is checked from the dictionary data called out by d, and the section is composed of a heading, part of speech (including-), and a section number, and is always located at the head of the dictionary data and next to the line feed. Then, a section is set in the section column of the omitted state buffer 41c, and all the state columns are detailed. On the other hand, in step S4, as in step S3, a section is set in the section column of the omission state buffer 41c, and all the state columns are set to omission.

In step S5, the display mode buffer 41
It is determined whether or not the display mode is the abbreviation display mode for each part of speech based on the setting of d. If the display mode is the abbreviation display mode for each part of speech, the process proceeds to step S6. If the display mode is any other display mode, the process proceeds to step S13.

In step S6, the dictionary data buffer 41
The part of speech is searched from the dictionary data of b. Part of speech (including-)
Is always positioned after a line break. If there is a part of speech, the process proceeds to step S7; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S12. Note that a heading symbol positioned before a headword positioned at the head of the dictionary data is also considered to be equivalent to a part of speech.

In step S7, the state of the found part of speech is determined from the omitted state buffer 41c. The part of speech as a division according to the state is transferred to the display buffer 41a if the part of speech is omitted, or the part of speech reversed is displayed if it is omitted, or the part of speech as usual if it is detailed. If the state is omitted, the process proceeds to step S8, and if the state is detailed, the process proceeds to step S11.

In step S8, the character string enclosed by symbols, parentheses, etc. is skipped from the part of speech after the found part of speech to find the first translated sentence. In step S9, a break of the first translated sentence from the found first translated sentence, for example, a comma, a new line, etc., is regarded as the first translated sentence and transferred to the display buffer 41a. In the case of a headword located at the head of the dictionary data, the headword and / pronunciation / are regarded as equivalent to the head translation.
In step S10, the process skips from the next translated sentence to the line feed. Next, returning to step S6, the process is repeated until there is no part of speech.

On the other hand, in step S11, all the translations belonging to the part of speech are transferred to the display buffer 41a. Next, returning to step S6, the process is repeated until there is no part of speech.

In step S12, the dictionary data converted for the abbreviated display of the display buffer 41a is displayed on the LCD 2. Then, a key C is set for each section in order to easily switch between detailed display and abbreviated display of the section. FIG. 7 shows an example of this display screen.

In step S13, the display mode buffer 4
It is determined from the setting of 1d whether or not the display mode is the abbreviated display mode for each section. If the display mode is the abbreviated display mode for each section, step S14
The process proceeds to step S20 if the display mode is any other display mode.

In step S14, the dictionary data buffer 4
The section is searched from the dictionary data of 1b. The section is always located after the line feed. If there is a section, the process proceeds to step S15; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S12. Note that the heading symbol located before the headword located at the head of the dictionary data and the part of speech located next to the line feed are regarded as equivalent to the division.

In step S15, the state of the found section is determined from the omitted state buffer 41c. The division is transferred to the display buffer 41a according to the state, the division is displayed in reverse if omitted, and the normal division if detailed. If the state is omitted, the process proceeds to step S16, and if the state is detailed, the process proceeds to step S19.

In step S16, characters enclosed by symbols, parentheses, and the like are skipped from the next segment to find the first translated sentence. For example, comparing section 2 in FIG. 8A and FIG. 8B, S <person, tower, tree, etc.> is skipped as a character surrounded by symbols, parentheses, and the like.

In step S17, as in step S9, the first translated sentence is transferred to the display buffer 41a. In step S18, up to the line feed is skipped as in step S10. Next, the process returns to step S14, and is repeated until there are no more sections.

In step S19, all the translations belonging to the section are transferred to the display buffer 41a. . Next, step S1
Return to step 4 and repeat until there are no more sections.

Then, the process proceeds to step S12. FIG. 8 shows an example of this display screen.

In step S20, the display mode buffer 4
It is determined from the setting of 1d whether or not the display mode is the abbreviated display mode for each line. If the display mode is the abbreviated display mode for each line, step S21 is executed.
If the display mode is any other display mode, the process proceeds to step S26.

In step S21, a section is searched in the same manner as in step S14. If there is a section, the process proceeds to step S22; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S12.

In step S22, the state of the section is determined as in step S15, and the section is transferred to the display buffer 41a according to the state. If the state is omitted, the process proceeds to step S23, and if the state is detailed, the process proceeds to step S25.

In step S23, the dictionary data itself is transferred to the display buffer 41a for one line of the display screen without skipping characters enclosed by symbols, parentheses, etc., after the found section. In step S24, the process up to the line feed is skipped as in step S10. Next, returning to step S21,
Repeat until there are no more sections. Then, step S12
Proceed to.

On the other hand, in step S25, all the translations belonging to the section are transferred to the display buffer 41a. Next, the process returns to step S21, and is repeated until there are no more sections.

Then, the process proceeds to a step S12. FIG. 9 shows an example of this display screen.

In step S26, the detailed display mode is set, and all translations are transferred to the display buffer 41a. Then, the process proceeds to step S12. FIG. 10B shows an example of this display screen.

FIG. 6A is a flowchart when the key C is operated, FIG. 6B is a flowchart when the omission key B is operated, and FIG.
It is a flowchart figure at the time of operating.

In FIG. 6A, when the key C is operated in step S27, it is determined from the omission state buffer 41c whether or not the segmented state of the operated key C is an abbreviated display. If the display is abbreviated, the process proceeds to step S28, and if the display is the detailed display, the process proceeds to step S30.

In step S28, the omitted state buffer 41
The state of the specified section of c is set in detail. In step S29, the designated display section in the display buffer 41c is changed to the normal display. Then, the process proceeds to step S5 in FIG. Basically, the processing after step S5 is performed only for the section specified to be changed.

On the other hand, in step S30, step S28
Conversely, the status of the specified section is set to be omitted. In step S31, contrary to step S29, the normal display is changed to reverse display. Then, the process proceeds to step S5 in FIG.

In FIG. 6B, when the ellipsis key B is operated in step S32, the display mode buffer 4
It is determined from 1d whether or not the display is abbreviated. If the display is abbreviated, the process proceeds to step S33, and if the display is the detailed display, the process proceeds to step S3.
Go to 5.

In step S33, the omitted state buffer 41
The states of all the sections of c are set in detail. Step S3
In step 4, the reverse display of the omission key B is canceled. And FIG.
Go to step S5.

On the other hand, in step S35, step S33
On the contrary, the states of all the sections are set to be omitted. In step S36, the omission key B is highlighted in reverse to step S34. Then, the process proceeds to step S5 in FIG.

In FIG. 6C, in step S37, when the designation key F is operated, the designation key F is any one of the [art] key, the [division] key, the [line] key, and the [detail] key. Judge.

If the key is the [item] key, the flow advances to step S38 to set the display of the part of speech omitted in the display mode buffer 41d. On the other hand, if the key is the [ku] key, the flow advances to step S39 to set the division omission display in the display mode buffer 41d. On the other hand, if it is the [row] key, the process proceeds to step S40, and the one-line abbreviated display is set in the display mode buffer 41d. On the other hand, if it is the [Details] key, the process proceeds to step S41 to set the detail display in the display mode buffer 41d.
