Abstract

A language studying method in a mobile communication terminal is provided to enable a user to make a word list and to reproduce the made word list regardless time and place in simple and various ways, while characters of words and voices are simultaneously outputted when the word list is reproduced, thus the efficiency of language studying is increased. If inputting of a word list making key is sensed, words inputted to be stored in a word list are processed into character data and the character data is stored, then it is checked whether a voice recording key is inputted(201-211). If so, inputted voices are processed into voice data and the voice data is stored, then it is checked whether a stop key is inputted(213-219). If so, the stored character data is matched with the voice data, so that the matched voice data is stored.

The present invention relates to a method of learning a language in a mobile communication terminal, and more particularly, to a method of easily learning a language anywhere at any time by producing a wordbook using a mobile communication terminal and reproducing the produced wordbook.

In general, a mobile communication terminal is a cellular phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a personal communication services phone (PCS), an IMT-2000 terminal (International Mobile Telecommunication-2000), GSM (Global System For Mobile Communication) It refers to a device that provides a communication function such as a terminal, such as a terminal, to make a call or exchange data while moving.

The mobile terminal is intended to perform a telephone call function, but in addition to the telephone call function, including a short message transmission and reception function, a memory function for storing and retrieving a phone number, a lock function, an alarm function, a background setting function, an area code confirmation function Recently, various additional function services such as a camera function, a digital broadcast reception function, a game function, an MP-3 file playback function, and an electronic dictionary function are provided.

Through the various additional services as described above, the mobile communication terminal provides a lot of convenience for users living in the modern society. In particular, various functions are being developed and added to the electronic dictionary function among the additional functions as the interest in foreign language learning has recently increased. However, the wordbook function of the conventional electronic dictionary function is limited to simply searching the words and checking the contents, and the function of hearing the pronunciation of native speakers is hardly applied. In addition, since the wordbook function displays contents only for each selected word, when the user tries to check the entire word stored in the wordbook function, it is inconvenient to continuously perform a key operation. In addition, since the conventional wordbook function does not apply the repetitive learning function, the user needs to repeatedly select the same word to repeatedly learn the same word.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method of producing a wordbook using words and voice in a mobile communication terminal.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a wordbook in a method of producing a wordbook in a mobile communication terminal equipped with a wordbook function. When the input of the wordbook production key is detected, a word input for storing in the wordbook as text data is provided. Processing and storing, and checking whether there is a voice recording key input, and when an input of the voice recording key is detected, processing and storing the input voice as voice data, and checking whether there is a stop key input; And when there is a stop key input, matching the stored text data to store the voice data.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for reproducing a word book in various ways in a mobile communication terminal.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for reproducing the wordbook in a mobile communication terminal equipped with a wordbook function, when the input of the wordbook playback key is detected, displaying a list of words stored in the wordbook; When a predetermined word is selected from the displayed word list, character data of the selected word is displayed and the voice data matched thereto is output.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Hereinafter, detailed descriptions of preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
