Method for preventing electronic dictionary misoperation

The invention relates to a method for preventing electronic dictionary misoperation, and in particular to a method for preventing electronic dictionary misoperation when performing whole sentence translation.

Language is a tool for communication. Under the trend of the global village, the sources of information that people are exposed to are no longer confined to their own countries. Whether you are working, making friends, traveling, or absorbing news from around the world or diversified information from other countries, you need to communicate and learn in different languages. For this reason, access to the second or third foreign language for modern people has become one of the indispensable tools to meet this trend.

With the advancement of science and technology, modern people often use electronic dictionaries instead of traditional dictionaries to speed up the process of querying raw words while learning foreign languages. Current electronic dictionaries usually emphasize the use of large fonts, multi-national translations, and exclusive search engines to increase the speed of data queries. They also have tools for assisting learning such as human pronunciation, full-text translation, whole sentence translation, and wireless Internet access.

In the whole sentence translation mode, the user can input the entire paragraph of text and then translate the meaning of the entire paragraph through the electronic dictionary. The user can also input letters by hand through the touch screen of the electronic dictionary. However, since the electronic dictionary is easy to carry, the design of the electronic dictionary is light and thin. In this case, inputting the function column that would easily touch the side of the screen by handwriting, when the user touches the function column, the electronic dictionary may jump out of the entire sentence translation mode, causing the data previously input by the user to disappear. , causing inconvenience that needs to be re-entered.

The invention provides a method for preventing electronic dictionary misoperation. When the electronic dictionary is in the whole sentence translation mode, the electronic dictionary automatically locks the function column on the screen to prevent the user from accidentally touching and jumping out of the whole sentence translation mode, so that the user You can use the handwriting input function with peace of mind.

In view of the above, the present invention provides a method for preventing an electronic dictionary from being erroneously operated. The electronic dictionary has at least one function column on the screen. The method includes the following steps: first, detecting whether the electronic dictionary is in a full sentence translation mode; when the electronic dictionary enters After the whole sentence translation mode, the function column function is disabled; whether the translation key of the electronic dictionary is pressed to perform the function of the whole sentence translation; and when the translation key is pressed to perform the function of the whole sentence translation, the execution is performed. The entire sentence translates the program and restores the functionality of the function column.

In addition, the electronic dictionary will detect whether to leave the whole sentence translation mode, and if the electronic dictionary leaves the entire sentence translation mode, the function of the function column is restored. In the step of detecting whether the electronic dictionary is in the whole sentence translation mode, it further includes detecting whether the entire sentence translation button is pressed, and when the entire sentence translation button is pressed, the electronic dictionary is entered into a full sentence translation mode. When entering the full sentence translation mode, the screen of the electronic dictionary provides an input pane for the user to enter a query sentence. Then, when the user presses the translation key, the electronic dictionary translates the query sentence and displays the translated sentence on the screen.

In an embodiment of the invention, the screen of the electronic dictionary is a touch screen, and the function column includes an English-Chinese translation icon, a full sentence translation icon, a handwriting input icon, and a human voice graphic.

In an embodiment of the present invention, after the electronic dictionary enters the entire sentence translation mode, the step of disabling the function of the function column includes: detecting whether the user starts to input letters, and detecting that the user starts to input letters To disable the function of the function column.

Based on the above, the present invention provides a method for preventing an electronic dictionary from being mistakenly operated. When a user uses the entire sentence translation mode, the function column on the screen is automatically locked to prevent the user from accidentally touching.

The above described features and advantages of the present invention will be more apparent from the following description.

First embodiment

Please refer to FIG. 1. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an electronic dictionary according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The electronic dictionary 100 includes a main body 102 and a screen 110. The main body 102 has a plurality of keys including a translation key 104 and a full sentence translation mode button 106. A function column 120 is disposed on the side of the screen 110, and the function column 120 is composed of a plurality of function icons (for example, an English-Chinese translation icon, a full sentence translation icon, a handwriting input icon, and a human voice). In the present embodiment, the screen 110 is a touch screen, so the user can enable the related function via the icon on the touch function column 120. The full sentence translation mode button 106 is used to enter the entire sentence translation mode.

When the electronic dictionary 100 is powered on, the electronic dictionary 100 detects whether the full sentence translation mode is entered. When the whole sentence translation mode is entered, the input pane is displayed on the screen 110, allowing the user to input the entire text for the entire sentence translation. At this point, the electronic dictionary 100 disables the function column 120 until the user presses the translation key 104 or leaves the full sentence translation mode. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the electronic dictionary 100 from jumping out of the entire sentence translation mode due to the user accidentally touching the function column 120, causing the problem that the input character disappears and needs to be re-entered.

After the user finishes inputting the entire sentence of the query sentence and presses the translation key, the electronic dictionary 100 performs a full sentence translation and displays the translated translated sentence on the screen 110, and the function of the function column 120 is automatically restored. . In addition, when the user leaves the full sentence translation mode, the function of the function column 120 is automatically restored. Moreover, the electronic dictionary 100 can also be set to lock the function column 120 when the user starts text input according to the function requirement.

In summary, when the electronic dictionary 100 is in the full sentence translation mode, the electronic dictionary 100 locks the function of the function column 120 on the side of the screen 110 to prevent the user from accidentally touching the electronic dictionary 100. It should be noted that the above translation key 104 is merely illustrative, and the embodiment does not limit the position and arrangement of the translation key 104. The translation key 104 can be replaced by an Enter key or other function key, or can be replaced by a touch key on the screen 110, and the present invention is not limited. Similarly, the full sentence translation mode button 106 can be replaced by a touch button on the screen 110 or by a function menu, and the invention is not limited.

Second embodiment

A method for preventing electronic dictionary misoperation can be summarized by the above first embodiment. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a method for preventing electronic dictionary misoperation according to a second embodiment of the present invention. First, it is determined whether the electronic dictionary 100 is powered on (step S201), and then it is detected whether the electronic dictionary 100 is in the whole sentence translation mode (step S210), and when the electronic dictionary 100 is in the whole sentence translation mode, the function column 120 is disabled. (Step S220). Then, it is detected whether the translation key 104 is pressed to execute the entire sentence translation mode (step S230). When it is detected that the translation key 104 is pressed to execute the full sentence translation mode, the entire sentence translation program is executed and the function of the function column 120 is restored (step S240).

It should be noted that the above method further includes the function of restoring the function column 120 when detecting that the electronic dictionary 100 leaves the entire sentence translation mode. In step S210, the method further includes: when detecting that the whole sentence translation button 106 is pressed, causing the electronic dictionary 100 to enter the full sentence translation mode. In the full sentence translation mode, the electronic dictionary 110 provides an input pane for the user to enter a query sentence. In addition, the electronic dictionary 110 detects whether the user starts to input letters, and when the user detects that the user starts to input letters, the function column is disabled. For the remaining details of the method in this embodiment, refer to the foregoing first embodiment, and details are not described herein again.
