Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 and 2 are diagrams illustrating a system for automatically searching an electronic dictionary according to an input language according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the electronic dictionary automatic search system according to the input language of the present invention includes an input module 100, a language recognition automatic search module 200, a database 300, and an output module 400. Can be.

The input module 100 receives a search word from a user or receives various commands related to an operation of the electronic dictionary. The input module 100 may be implemented as a touch interface such as a keyboard keyboard included in an electronic dictionary or an LCD screen showing a search result of the electronic dictionary.

In the present invention, the user may input the first character or the second character through the input module 100. The first character is a character used for the first language, and the second character is a character used for the second language.

For example, in particular, the first character may be an alphabet and the second character may be Korean. In this case, the first language may be a language of each country using the alphabet. That is, Japanese, French, and German as well as Japanese hiragana or katakana can be input using the alphabet, so Japanese may be included. The second language can be Korean. On the contrary, the first character may be Korean, the second character may be an alphabet, and it is obvious that the letters used in the electronic dictionary are included even if the alphabet is not Korean or alphabet.

As illustrated in FIG. 2, the input module 100 may further include an input language conversion key 110. The input language conversion key 110 changes a search word into a first character or a second character. The user can immediately obtain a search result of a dictionary corresponding to a desired language by simply pressing the input language conversion key 110.

Through this embodiment of the present invention, the user has an effect that can be obtained more easily and quickly the desired search results.

In addition, while the user inputs the search word with any one of the first character and the second character through the input module, the user may request to change the character for inputting the search word through the input language conversion key 110. In this case, the search word input through the input module and displayed through the output module may be deleted so that the search word of a new character may be received. For example, even after viewing a search result by inputting "dictionary" as the first letter in an electronic dictionary to be displayed in the electronic dictionary, if a user requests a character change through the input language conversion key 110, it is entered in the search term input field. The existing "dictionary" is deleted.

The database 300 may store dictionary data and provide a result for a user's desired search word. Dictionary data refers to data such as English-Korean Dictionary, Korean-English Dictionary, Korean-Korean Dictionary, Korean-English Dictionary, Japanese-Korean Dictionary, Korean-Japanese Dictionary, etc. According to the present invention, since the search range is determined from the data stored in the database according to the language type of the input search word, the database may be stored according to the language type.

The database 300 generally stores dictionary data in which data such as headwords, meanings corresponding to headwords, phonetic symbols, synonyms, idioms including a table control, and example sentences are stored. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the database 300 may further store data on languages and characters used in the dictionary data together with the dictionary data.

That is, for example, in the case of the first dictionary data relating to the English-Korean dictionary, the meaning data "dictionary" is stored for the heading "dictionary". At this time, the language of the heading is English, and the language of explanation for the heading is Korean. In this case, since the language input by the user to search for the headword is the language of the headword, the alphabet, which is a character for inputting the headword language, is stored together in the database 300 as a designated language character. The database 300 assigns and stores a designated language code for identifying the designated language character.

The language recognition automatic search module 200 recognizes a character corresponding to a search word input through the input module 100, searches for dictionary data registered with a designated language code, and provides a search result. That is, for example, in the case of a dictionary relating to Korean and French, the first character may be alphabet and the second character may be Korean. When the user inputs the alphabet through the input module 100, the first dictionary data is searched in the dictionary to provide a search result. If the user inputs Korean, the search is performed in the second dictionary data. Provide search results.

As shown in FIG. 2, more specifically, the electronic dictionary according to the present invention may further include an input character recognition module 210. The input character recognition module 210 recognizes an input character code for identifying whether the search word input through the input module 100 is input as the first character or the second character.

The language recognition automatic search module 200 compares the input character code and the designated language code, searches for the same characters as the input characters among dictionary data stored as the designated language code, and outputs a search result.

The output module 400 performs a function of outputting a search result searched through the language recognition automatic search module 200. In this case, the output module 400 may output an icon indicating whether the currently input character is a first character or a second character. The input character recognition module 210 recognizes whether the input character is the first character or the second character, and displays an icon corresponding to the input character through the output module 400, so that the user easily inputs the input character. Make it recognizable.

4 and 5 illustrate an automatic search method of an electronic dictionary according to an input language according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, the electronic dictionary performs a search word input step S100 of receiving a search word of a first letter or a second letter.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, before performing the search word input step (S100), the dictionary data storage step (S10) of storing the dictionary data in the database of the electronic dictionary and specifying and storing the language and characters used in the dictionary data The designated language storing step S20 may be further performed.

In the dictionary data storage step (S10), dictionary data such as a word, heading, phonetic symbols, idioms, and example sentences, such as English-Korean, Korean-English, and Japanese-Korean, are stored. In this case, the first dictionary data may describe the first language as the second language, and the second dictionary data may describe the second language as the first language.

In the designated language storage step (S20), a character used for each language is registered and stored. That is, the first character is registered as the designated language character used in the first language, the second character is registered as the designated language character used in the second language, and each of the designated language codes for identifying the same is stored. . For example, the alphabet that is the first character is registered as the designated language character used for English, which is the first language, and the Hangul that is the second character, is registered as the designated language character used for the second language, Korean. In addition, A may be assigned as a code for identifying the first character and K may be stored as a code for identifying the second character.

The user may perform a search term input step S100 of operating an electronic dictionary and inputting a search word. In this case, the electronic dictionary may further perform an input character display step before performing the search term input step S100, whereby the current input is performed. The user can easily identify whether the character is the first character or the second character.

Next, a language for identifying whether the input search word is the first character or the second character and searching for the first dictionary data in the case of the first character and searching for the second dictionary data in the case of the second character A recognition automatic search step (S200) is performed.

More specifically, the language recognition automatic search step (S200) may perform an input character identification step (S210) for inputting what character the search word is and an automatic search step (S220) for searching among dictionary data corresponding to the input letter. have.

The input character identification step S210 identifies whether the input search word is a first character or a second character through an input character code.

The automatic retrieval step (S220) compares the input character code of the input search word with the designated language code of the dictionary data stored in the electronic dictionary, and automatically selects and retrieves the dictionary data from the first dictionary data or the second dictionary data.

Next, the electronic dictionary performs an output step (S300) of outputting a search result searched through the language recognition automatic search step (S200).

Meanwhile, the input language conversion step S400 may be further performed after the output step S400. That is, the input language conversion step 400 changes a character for inputting a search word by inputting a command to the input language conversion key. In other words, if the character currently being input is the first character, the character is changed to the second character. If the character currently being input is the second character, the character is changed to the first character.

In this case, when a search word is input with any one of the first and second characters, when a command is input to the input language conversion key, the search word displayed may be deleted so that the standby word may be inputted. have. For example, even after viewing the search results by entering "dictionary" as the first letter in the electronic search dictionary text box, if the user requests to change the text through the input language conversion key, the "dictionary" entered in the search text field "Is deleted. Through this embodiment of the present invention, the user has an effect that can be obtained more easily and quickly the desired search results.
