Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] 3. Detailed Description of the Invention [Summary] In conventional kanji learning devices, even if you search for the pronunciation or meaning of a kanji in the text displayed on the screen, you cannot find the kanji in the text. The problem was that I didn't know how to read it.

The present invention solves this problem by pre-registering and using templates for phrases and okurigana containing kanji in a dictionary, thereby making it possible to learn kanji more efficiently.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a kanji learning device, and particularly to a kanji reading learning device that can be used by foreigners and the like to learn how to read kanji correctly.

[Conventional technology]

In the conventional technology, the pronunciations and meanings displayed on the display screen are searched for using a Kanji dictionary within the learning device. FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing an overview of this method. The kanji selected by the input selection device 6 is sent to the kanji search circuit 8.
and is searched from within the Kan-Japanese dictionary 7. The pronunciation and meaning of the searched kanji are displayed in the format shown in the example in Figure 3, as shown in the kanji dictionary.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In the conventional method described above, even if you look at the displayed content, you cannot tell how the searched kanji ("mixed") is read in the text, and "mixed" is generally read as "kon" or "mazeru". All I know is that I am.

c. Means for Solving Problems] FIG. 1 is a principle block diagram illustrating the kanji learning device of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is an input selection device, 2 is a kanji search circuit, 3 is a kanji dictionary, 4 is a template dictionary, and 5 is a template matching circuit. The input selection device 1 extracts the selected kanji and the character string of the text containing the kanji. The kanji search circuit 2 and the kanji dictionary 3 are the same as in the conventional system. The template dictionary 4 is a dictionary in which templates of idioms and okurigana containing each kanji are registered. Template matching circuit 5
is a circuit that determines the reading of a selected kanji by comparing a template in the template dictionary 4 with an input character string.

[Effect]

As shown in FIG. 1, the meaning and reading of the kanji selected by the input selection device 1 are searched by the kanji search circuit 2 and kanji dictionary 3 in the conventional manner.

On the other hand, the template matching circuit 5 matches the input character string with the template in the template dictionary 4,
A template that matches the input string is selected. The readings associated with the selected template are output as the readings of the input kanji.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described using the principle block diagram shown in FIG.

For example, suppose that the example sentence in FIG. 2 is displayed on the screen.

Suppose that the characters `` mixed, ['' are selected from this text. Using the conventional method, the kanji search circuit 2 and kanji dictionary 3
As shown in Figure 3, various readings and meanings of ``mix'' are displayed on both sides. Further, in the template matching circuit 5, the character string shown in FIG. 2 is matched with template 1- in the template dictionary 4 as shown in FIG. In this column, since the template "*zeru" matches, the pronunciation "ma" is displayed as shown in FIG. "*" indicates the position of the kanji within the template.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, it is possible to use the character information before and after the kanji that you want to learn in a text, as well as templates for idioms and okurigana that include the kanji, so you can understand how the kanji is read in the text, making it easier to read. This has the effect of providing a system with high learning efficiency.
