Description

541472 五、發明說明(1) 【發明之應用領域】 本發明係有關一種電子字典的字/詞查詢方法,特別 是一種在每一次提出的字/詞查詢請求中,可以包含多個 要求查詢的字/詞的查詢方法,與傳統查詢方式需要單字 單詞逐次輸入查詢的方式不同。 【發明背景】 一般而言,學生在閱讀原文(電子字典中之電子檔案 或是一般的原文書籍)時,大多有查詢字/詞意義的需要, 而目前市面上的電子字典所提供的查詢方式如下:單次查 詢字義,即是將所要查詢的一個字/詞輸入(以鍵盤輸入或 是以電子字典的手寫筆將電子檔案中的字/詞做標記)後, 按下確認鍵,此時軟體即將字/詞存入暫存記憶體中,再 讀取暫存記憶體中的字/詞,並檢查字/詞其是否無拼字錯 誤,若字/詞無拼字錯誤,則檢索資料庫中所對應的字/詞 資料,若有對應的字/詞資料,就讀取資料庫中之翻譯内 容並存入記憶體中,並將翻譯内容做輸出,以供使用者閱 讀字/詞意義,而若無對應的字/詞資料,則結束找尋之作 業,而當上述檢查字/詞是否無拼字錯誤時之結果為否 時,則直接結束作業,,如「第1圖」所示,但因為一次 僅能查詢一個字/詞,因此當要再查詢另一個字/詞時,則 必須再行輸入的動作,而且當欲再看已查詢過之字/詞, 其配合文章的較適當字義時,仍必須再行輸入的動作,就 如同目前市面上之電子字典的功能,因此使用者往往在閱 讀一篇原文時,會不斷因為字/詞的查詢,而使得閱讀中541472 V. Description of the invention (1) [Application field of the invention] The present invention relates to a word / word query method of an electronic dictionary, and in particular, each word / word query request submitted may include multiple query requests. The word / word query method is different from the traditional query method that requires a single-word word to be entered one by one. [Background of the Invention] Generally speaking, when reading the original text (electronic files in electronic dictionaries or general original books), most students need to query the meaning of words / words, and the current electronic dictionary on the market provides query methods The following is a single query for the meaning of a word, which is to input a word / word to be queried (input by keyboard or mark the word / word in the electronic file with the stylus of an electronic dictionary), and then press the confirmation key. The software stores the words / words in the temporary memory, reads the words / words in the temporary memory, and checks whether the words / words are free of spelling errors. If the words / words are free of spelling errors, the data is retrieved The corresponding word / word data in the database. If the corresponding word / word data is available, the translation content in the database is read and stored in the memory, and the translated content is output for the user to read the word / word Meaning, if there is no corresponding word / word data, the search operation is ended, and when the result of the above check word / word is free of spelling errors, the operation is directly ended, as shown in "Figure 1" Display, but because you can only check One word / word, so when you want to query another word / word, you have to enter it again, and when you want to look at the word / word you have already queried, it must match the appropriate meaning of the article. The action of inputting lines is just like the function of electronic dictionaries currently on the market. Therefore, when users read an original text, they will keep on reading because of word / word query.

541472 五、發明說明(2) 斷,並在閱讀整篇原文文章時,必須將文章再重複閱讀, 以了解文章的文意和架構,使得閱讀時間加長,另外,欲 再看已查過之字/詞意義,則必須再行輸入等一連串之動 作不但增加使用者的不便,更是耗費使用者的作業時間。 又、一般而言,文章的架構和文法,往往必需在將全 文閱讀完後,才能有所體會,而在遇到字/詞立即——查 詢,並無法對文章的架構和文法有概念,因此一般使用者 的閱讀習慣多為將全文閱讀完,才一次查詢字/詞之字 義,所以上述的字/詞查詢方式,和一般的使用者閱讀習 慣並不相符。 【發明之目的及概述】 本發明所揭露的電子字典的字/詞查詢方法,主要是 讓使用者在每一次提出的字/詞查詢請求中,可以包含多 個要求查詢的字/詞,並且在使用者輸入多個字/詞後,同 時查詢所輸入之字/詞,並將各字/詞之查詢結果依序顯示 予使用者閱讀,並且在閱讀時可交替的查詢各字/詞的意 義,減少使用者在閱讀原文時,於字/詞查詢方面之時間 耗費、使閱讀更加順利以及符合使用者之閱讀習慣的目 的。 為使對本發明的目的、構造特徵及其功能有進一步的 了解,茲配合圖示詳細說明如下: 【發明之詳細說明】 如「第2圖」所示,根據本發明所揭露電子字典的字/ 詞查詢方法的流程圖,首先利用電子字典的鍵盤或是手寫541472 V. Description of the invention (2) When reading the entire original article, the article must be read again to understand the meaning and structure of the article, which will lengthen the reading time. In addition, if you want to look at the words already checked / Word meaning, you must enter a series of actions such as re-entering, which not only increases the user's inconvenience, but also consumes the user's operation time. Also, in general, the structure and grammar of an article can only be realized after reading the full text, and when you encounter a word / word immediately-query, you cannot have a concept of the structure and grammar of the article, so The reading habits of ordinary users are mostly to read the meaning of words / words only after reading the full text, so the above word / word query method does not match the reading habits of ordinary users. [Objective and Summary of the Invention] The word / word query method of the electronic dictionary disclosed in the present invention mainly allows the user to include multiple words / words in each word / word query request, and After the user enters multiple words / words, the entered words / words are simultaneously queried, and the query results of each word / word are displayed to the user for reading in sequence, and the words / words can be queried alternately while reading Meaning, reducing the time spent by the user in querying words / words when reading the original text, making the reading more smooth, and meeting the purpose of the user's reading habits. In order to further understand the purpose, structural features and functions of the present invention, the following detailed description is given in conjunction with the drawings: [Detailed description of the invention] As shown in "Figure 2", the words of the electronic dictionary according to the present invention / Flow chart of word query method, first use the keyboard of electronic dictionary or handwriting
