The word data is read through the 102 and the like is edited in the electronic word organizer 110.

Here, the word arrangement editor 110 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 4 as follows.

The Word Cleanup Editor 110 is an editor that organizes words such as English and Japanese (in the drawing, examples of English). The basic operation is to organize words, meanings, similar words, example sentences, etc. into a file format of a certain standard. Archived editor.

The method applied to the file supported by the word arrangement editor 110 is, firstly, a method in which a user inputs words and meanings directly on the editor while studying a language workbook to create a file.

Secondly, it is stored in the 'CD-ROM' and the file can be read and viewed in the word organizer.

Lastly, as a word-cleaning service using PC communication, that is, if the file format can be downloaded from a PC communication site serving language services, a file that organizes words in connection with PC communication learning can be supported.

As such, the word information in the file generated by the word arrangement editor 110 is connected by connecting the PC 100 and the electronic vocabulary 200 to the corresponding ports using a connector, and then clicking the download icon on the editor with a mouse. The word information is input and stored in the electronic vocabulary 200.

Here, the connection between the PC 100 and the electronic vocabulary 200 is connected to a general PC port such as 'RS-232C' or 'LPT' and the electronic vocabulary 200 via the data input / output port 210. Send it.

At this time, the transmitted word information has a protocol of a certain standard.

As such, the electronic vocabulary 200 that has received the word data from the PC 100 converts the data according to the storage format of the electronic vocabulary 200 and stores the data in the memory 230 and controls the operation of the function button selected by the user. Will display the words.

Hereinafter, the function of the electronic vocabulary 200 selected by the user will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 2.

First, whenever the user presses the up / down keys 241 and 242, words are sequentially displayed on the display unit 280.
