Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] A learning dictionary search device for learning Japanese has conventionally
It has a structure that can be called an electronic dictionary, and when you enter a search key and specify the item to be searched, the corresponding dictionary is searched for the answer, which is displayed on the screen of the display device. In this case, there are many dictionaries, and in this case, a plurality of dictionaries are provided, corresponding to the item to be searched, for each meaning, pronunciation, etc. of an input key character, or an idiom containing the character. However, if we consider that such conventional learning dictionary search devices are used for the purpose of learning Japanese, we wonder if they can provide a high learning effect in that the answers to the input keys can be obtained directly. I had doubts.

In order to solve these conventional problems, the present invention discloses a learning dictionary search device that can further enhance learning effects by giving learners an opportunity to think.

[Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a dictionary search device for learning, and particularly to a dictionary search device for learning that aims to improve learning and effectiveness by giving learners an opportunity to think.

[Prior Art] FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of a conventional learning dictionary search device, in which 51 is a search key instruction section, 52 is a presentation content storage section, 53 is a search key storage section, and 55 is the search section, 5
6 represents a dictionary section, and 57 represents a presentation section. The operation will be explained below with reference to FIG.

When a search key is input or a character string already displayed on the screen is specified using a light pen or the like, these are stored in the presentation content storage section 52 and the search key storage section 53 by the search key instruction section 51.

Then, the search dictionary instruction section 54 instructs the type of dictionary to be searched. Upon receiving this, the search unit 5 selects a dictionary matching the instruction content from among the dictionaries 1 to n in the dictionary unit 56.

Dictionaries 1 to n are stored according to the meanings and readings of kanji, or idioms containing the characters. Then, the search unit 55 searches the search key storage unit 5 for the dictionary.
A search is performed using the search key stored in 3, and the results are stored in the presentation content storage section 52. The presentation unit 57 presents the content stored in the presentation content storage unit 52 by displaying it.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As mentioned above, in the conventional learning dictionary search device, only one search content specified by the learner is presented, so in terms of learning effectiveness, The problem was that it was not necessarily the best.

In view of these conventional problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide a learning dictionary search device that can be expected to give learners an opportunity to think and arouse their interest in the learning content. The purpose is

[Means for Solving the Problems] According to the present invention, the above-mentioned objects are achieved by the means described in the claims.

That is, the present invention allows learners to look up a dictionary in a format that presents questions and gives hints in order to provide learners with an opportunity to think and realize an efficient learning environment.

Specifically, in a dictionary search where multiple words are search results, a "problem presentation mode" is provided as a dictionary lookup mode, and for example, as shown in the function section below, a "question presentation mode" is provided.
A means is provided to determine whether the hints/answers are correct or not, and to present the answers.

[Function] Regarding the example of the learning dictionary search device of the present invention, the function of each function will be explained below.

When you look up multiple words that are search results in the dictionary in the dictionary in "Question Presentation Mode", the multiple words that are the search results are presented as hidden characters (for example, "? J"). (Question Presentation Function) ■ When searching a dictionary using a blank character as a search key, words corresponding to the blank character in the search results are replaced with the blank character and presented.

(Hint presentation function) - Determines whether the word input or instructed by the learner is the original word with blank characters. (Function to determine whether the answer is correct or incorrect) ■Replace the blank letters with the original words and present them.

(Answer presentation function) [Example] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the present invention,
1 is a search key instruction section, 2 is a presentation content storage section, 3 is a search key storage section, 4 is a search dictionary instruction section, 5 is a search section, 6 is a dictionary section, 7 is a presentation section, 8 is a question mode instruction section, Reference numeral 9 represents a hidden character control section, 1° represents a hidden character content storage section, 11 represents an answer input section, and 12 represents an answer instruction section.

In FIG. 1, when the "question mode" is not designated by the question mode instructing section 8, the operation is exactly the same as the conventional learning dictionary search device as described above. That is, at this time, the hidden character control section 9 operates only to transfer the data transferred from the search section 5 to the presentation content storage section 2.

When the question mode is instructed by the question mode instruction section 8, the fact that the question mode has been instructed is stored in the hidden character control section 9. When the search key instruction unit 1 specifies a search key and the search dictionary instruction unit 4 specifies a search dictionary, the contents of the dictionary found by the search unit 5 are sent to the blank character control unit 9.
Then, a plurality of words and phrases in the search results are associated with a blank character, and the blank characters are transferred to the presentation content storage section 2, and the plurality of words and phrases are transferred to a blank text storage section 10. The instructions of the question mode instruction section 8 stored in the blank character control section 9 are deleted.

Furthermore, the operation when the search key instruction section 1 specifies the blank character as a search key will be explained.

When the search key instruction unit 1 specifies a blank character as a search key, the search key is stored in the search key storage unit 3 from the presentation content storage unit 2 and the blank content storage unit 10, and a flag representing the blank character is also stored.

Next, when a dictionary to be searched is specified from the search dictionary instruction section 4, the search section 5 accesses the dictionary section 6 and transfers the dictionary search results to the hidden character control section 9. The hidden character control unit 9 also refers to the contents stored in the search key storage unit 3, and since the search key is a hidden character,
The words and phrases corresponding to the search key in the search results are converted to hidden characters and stored in the presentation content storage section 2. In addition, the hidden character content storage unit 10 stores information on which words and phrases the hidden characters in the search result correspond to.

When a word for an answer is input from the answer input section 11 while a blank character is specified as a search key, the blank character control section 9 compares the input word and phrase with the search key stored in the search key storage section 3. , if they match, the corresponding blank characters in the presentation content storage section 2 are replaced with the correct words. If this does not match, it will not be replaced.

When an answer is instructed from the answer instruction unit 12 while a blank character is specified as a search key, the blank character control unit 9 replaces the blank character, which is the current search key, with a correct word.

Regarding the dictionaries described above, Table 1 shows examples of dictionaries used when learning kanji as the field of study.

FIG. 2 is a diagram explaining the relationship between search keys and searches,
Reference numeral 13 represents a dictionary of radicals, 14 a dictionary of kanji, 15 a dictionary of compound words, 16 a dictionary of readings, and 17 a dictionary of meanings, and the line connecting these represents a search relationship.

In this embodiment, the question mode can be set for kanji search and compound word search, and the learner can use handwritten input and kana-kanji conversion input for inputting answers.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of display and operation in the embodiment of the present invention.

In the same figure (a), specify the "problem mode" as shown by O, enter "mouth" as the search key as shown by ■, and select "kanji" as the type of dictionary to search as shown by ■. When you specify , kanji containing the part ``1 mouth'' are displayed as hidden characters ``?'' in the search results column.

Here, as shown in ■, the leftmost "?" indicates the next search key.

Then, as shown in (b), "?" is displayed in the search key column. If you specify "idiom" as shown in ■ as a dictionary to search, the search results will include "?" as shown in ■′.
Idioms containing idioms are displayed. At this time, the kanji corresponding to "?" among the kanji forming the compound word is displayed as "?". Furthermore, ■, which specifies "reading" as the dictionary to be searched, is specified, and r7 is displayed in the search results column as shown by ■'.
The reading of J is displayed.

At this time, as shown in (c), if you enter the kanji ``Mai'' in the answer input field as an answer to ``?'', this is the correct kanji that corresponds to ``?'', so all ``?'' ” is displayed instead.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the learning dictionary search device of the present invention not only presents the contents of the dictionary to the learner, but also displays the contents of the dictionary in the form of questions and hints. or
Since it is also possible to determine whether the learner's answers are correct or incorrect, it is possible to provide a learning environment that gives the learner an opportunity to think, which has the advantage of increasing the learning effect.
