Abstract

PURPOSE:To display immediately a display contents which have been displayed immediately before, in the course of display on an indicator, and to simplify the key operation by operating relatedly a specified key and a key which has been placed so as to be related to said specified key. CONSTITUTION:Whenever only a retrieval key 3 is depressed, the display contents of an indicator 7 are changed successively as A B C D. On the other hand, whenever the retrieval key 3 and a control key 4 are combined and depressed, the display contents of the indicator 7 are changed successively as D C B A D. In this way, the key operation is simplified, and also the display contents of an object can be decided appropriately.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field 1] The present invention relates to an electronic device capable of displaying a kanji pattern or the like corresponding to a character inputted from an input means such as a keyboard.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, in this type of device, each time a specific key in a group of keys that is an input means is pressed, a pattern indicating a kanji pattern, an idiom pattern, or information related to them is displayed.
It is known that the information is displayed on a display which is an output means.

However, some of these devices cannot immediately display the display content that was displayed immediately while the display is displaying, and in this case, the key operation may be difficult, such as having to repeat key operations each time. Operation was necessary.

In addition, some of these devices can immediately display the content displayed immediately before the currently displayed content on the display, but in this case, it is necessary to press specific keys to change the displayed content sequentially. Since a key other than the specific key must be pressed without changing the key, the key operation procedure often becomes complicated.

[Purpose] Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned points, an object of the present invention is to arrange a specific key and the content related to the specific key when displaying the content to be displayed immediately before the display content currently being displayed on the display. To provide an electronic device in which the display can be immediately performed by operating the key in association with the key, the key operation is simplified, and the desired display content can be appropriately judged.

[Example] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to one drawing.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the overall configuration of an embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, l is a central processing unit (CPU).

In addition, 2 is a group of kana human power keys, 3 is a group of search keys, 4 is a control key, and 5 is a search end key, which are connected to the keyboard 8.
Place each on top. Furthermore, 6 is a fixed storage device, and 7 is a fixed storage device.
is an indicator. Each of these components 2 to 7 is then connected to the CPU t via a bus.

To explain in more detail, the old CP is an RO in which a control program (for example, a control procedure program as shown in FIG. 2) is stored in advance! (Read-only memory) It has a built-in RAMIB (random access memory) that performs access processing for IA and data, and stores input kana, searched kanji, and ROM // addresses. Therefore, the CPU outputs and displays a corresponding kana on the display 7 in response to an input signal of kana data input from the kana human power key group 2, for example, and also stores the input kana data and the kana data in the fixed storage device 6 in advance. Compare the kana data. If these comparison results match, search key 3. By pressing the control key 4, control processing such as displaying a kanji pattern, a compound word pattern, etc. corresponding to the input kana data on the display 7 is performed, as well as overall control.

The search key 3 is a key for instructing to display the patterns of kanji and idioms corresponding to the kana input from the kana human power key group 2, or their pronunciations, on the display 7 in the order stored in the fixed memory device M6. be. The control key 4 is as described below.
1 display 7 when pressed in combination with search key 3
This key instructs to display the pattern of the kanji or compound word, or its pronunciation, which is the content immediately preceding the content displayed on the screen. Further, the search end key is a key for instructing to end the control according to this embodiment as described later.

The display device 7 displays the kana input from the kana human power key group 2 as shown in (A) in FIG. ) to (D).

Next, FIG. 3 shows an example of the storage configuration of the fixed storage device 6 used for searching for the old CP.

In the figure, M1 is an area where reading information of kanji/idioms is stored, and M2 is an area where kanji/idiom pattern information output and displayed on the display 7 corresponding to the reading of the kanji is stored.

Next, an example of the operation of this embodiment configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 2 and the display example of FIG. 4.

First, in step S1, characters are input from the kana human power key group 2, and in the first step S2, for example, the input kana "Kou" is displayed on the display 7. At this time, the display contents of the display 7 are as shown in FIG. 4 (A).
Next, in step S3, based on the kana "Kou" input from the kana human power key group 2, a search is made for a match in the area M1 in which reading information of kanji and compound words in the fixed storage device 6 is stored (third (see figure).

Next, in step S4, when only the search key 3 or the search key 3 and the control key 4 are pressed in combination, it is determined in the next step S5 whether or not only the search key 3 is input. As a result, if only search key 3 is pressed, step SB
The address of the RAMIB is updated by +1, and the kanji pattern and compound word pattern corresponding to the input kana "Kou" are read out from the fixed storage device 6, stored in the RAMIB, and displayed on the display 7. The display contents of the display 7 at this time are as follows:
The result is as shown in FIG. 4(B).

On the other hand, if the search key 3 and control key 4 are pressed in combination in step S5.

In step S7, the content displayed immediately before the content currently displayed on the display 7 is displayed by updating the memory address by -1. The display contents on the display 7 at this time are, for example, as shown in FIG. 4 (CD).

Thereafter, if it is determined in step S8 that the search end key 5 has been pressed, the operation of this embodiment ends;
If the search end key 5 is not pressed, the process returns to step S4 and the above-mentioned operations are repeated.

According to these control operations, each time only the search key 3 is pressed, the display contents on the display 7 are changed to (A) in FIG.
)→(B)→(C)→(D).On the other hand, each time the search key 3 and control key 4 are pressed in combination, the display contents on the display 7 change as shown in FIG. CD)
→(C)→(B)→(A)→(D).

Note that in this embodiment, kanji and compound words are used as search information, and the corresponding pronunciations are used as kana, but instead of this, searching for kanji or compound words may be performed using part of the kana or kanji code, etc. This can be realized in the same way as this embodiment.

[Effect] As explained above, according to the present invention, when displaying content to be displayed immediately before the currently displayed display content on the display device serving as the output means, a specific key and information related to the specific key are displayed. Since the display can be immediately performed by operating the keys arranged in relation to each other, the key operation is simplified, and the desired display content can be appropriately determined.
