Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an information display control device, a server, and a program.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an information display control device called an electronic dictionary that incorporates several types of dictionary databases (hereinafter referred to as “DB”) such as a Japanese language dictionary, an English-Japanese dictionary, a Japanese-English dictionary, and an English-English dictionary is known. The dictionary DB stores a large number of dictionary data in which headwords are associated with explanation information for explaining and explaining the headwords (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
[0003]
Some electronic dictionaries have various functions such as a jump function in order to efficiently search for information desired by the user. This jump function is the following function. That is, after displaying explanation information corresponding to a headword that matches a character input by a user (hereinafter referred to as “input character” as appropriate), a word in the explanation information is designated (hereinafter referred to as “jump” as appropriate). It ’s called “original”.) Then, when a predetermined designation input is performed, a function that displays a description word corresponding to the headword (hereinafter referred to as “jump destination” as appropriate) by searching again for a headword that matches the designated word. is there. In addition, in the jump function, a function of displaying all information related to the jump source word is also known (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, when examining the meaning of the words included in the example sentences displayed by the example sentence search, there are the following problems. That is, when the above-described conventional jump function is executed on a word included in the displayed example sentence, the explanation information for the word is read from the dictionary DB and displayed, but is displayed from the top. . For this reason, the user has to find out the meaning of the word included in the example sentence from the explanation information, which is inconvenient.
[0006]
In particular, in recent years, so-called full content type electronic dictionaries, in which all paper dictionaries are digitized, have come to be used frequently. In this type of dictionary, there is a large amount of explanation information for one headword, and it is displayed one after another. Therefore, it is necessary to move many pages (screen scroll etc.) to search for desired explanation information. It took time and effort.
[0007]
Here, in the conventional electronic dictionary, a case where a headword associated with an example sentence is selected and the meaning of the selected headword is examined will be described with reference to FIG.
[0008]
FIG. 17A illustrates an example of a display screen W50 on which a jump destination dictionary selection window J50 is displayed. The user selects the source headword “balance” associated with the example sentence “balance work taking care of her babies”, and the reverse display M50 is made. Here, the source headword refers to a headword associated with the example sentence. For example, an example sentence “balance working taking of her babys” is changed to the headword “balance” in the English-Japanese dictionary. When stored as a corresponding example sentence (example), the headword “balance” is referred to as a source headword of the example sentence “balance work taking of her babies”. In the jump window J50, “English-Japanese dictionary” is selected with the radio button M52 as the dictionary of the jump destination.
[0009]
FIG. 17B is a screen on which explanatory information of the headword “balance” is displayed. When “English-Japanese dictionary” is selected in the jump window J50, the CPU 10 searches the English-Japanese dictionary DB for a headword that matches “balance” designated as the jump source. And when the headword which matches English-Japanese dictionary DB is searched, the explanatory information corresponding to the searched headword is displayed on the display screen W50.
[0010]
However, the explanation information is divided and stored in a plurality of meanings, and it is necessary for the user to check which meaning the source headword designated as the jump source corresponds to. Furthermore, the arrow mark M54 displayed on the display screen W50 is a display indicating that further explanation information exists. Therefore, when a desired example sentence cannot be confirmed in the example corresponding to the explanation information displayed on the display screen W50, it is necessary to scroll the remaining explanation information and confirm the example, which is extremely inconvenient.
[0011]
The objective of this invention is providing the information display control apparatus, server, and program which display appropriately the meaning of the headword matched with the example sentence.

The English-Japanese dictionary DB 202 stores a headword (for example, “above”), a headword address (for example, “1200”) in which the headword is stored, and explanation information of the headword in association with each other. is doing. Further, the explanation information is stored for each meaning, the meaning address (“1201”) where the meaning is stored, the meaning identifier (for example, “front 1”) for identifying the meaning, and the explanation information (“( ..)) And example sentence numbers (“12, 23, 28,...)” Associated with the word meaning are stored in association with each other. Here, the word meaning identifier is for uniquely identifying the meaning information in the corresponding headword, and is an identifier representing a part of speech (for example, “before” representing a preposition, “ And the meaning number. For example, in “above”, the meaning identifier “before 1” represents the first meaning when the part of speech is used as a preposition. In addition, the headword address and the semantic address are storage locations in the English-Japanese dictionary DB in which the headword and the meaning explanation information are stored. For example, the memory address value, the track / sector number of the disk device, the database A key value, a hash value for storing data, and the like are shown. In the present embodiment, the lower two digits of the address indicate the address for each word meaning, and the upper digits other than the lower two digits indicate the address of the entire headword. For example, in the case of the headword “above”, the upper digit “12” indicates the address of the whole headword “above”. Therefore, the address “1200” indicates the headword “above”. Further, the lower two digits indicate the address for each meaning, and “1201”, “1202”,... Are stored from the top. Note that the format of the address is not limited to this embodiment, and may be, for example, another number of digits, or may be represented by a combination of alphabets.

This first meaning display process is a process realized by the CPU 10 executing the first meaning display program 208 of the ROM 20.
[0054]
First, when executing the first meaning display process, the CPU 10 stands by until a character is input (step A10; No). When a character is input (step A10; Yes), the CPU 10 stores the input character in the input character storage area 302 (step A12). As described above, when an input character composed of a plurality of input words is input, an input character in which the words are combined with “&” is input.
[0055]
For example, when “care & of” is input as an input character, the CPU 10 stores “care & of” in the input character storage area 302.
[0056]
Next, the CPU 10 extracts the example sentence numbers of example sentences including all input words stored in the input character storage area 302 from the word example sentence table 206 (step A14). Specifically, the example sentence numbers associated with the input words stored in the input character storage area 302 are read from the word example sentence table 206, respectively. Then, among the example sentence numbers associated with the input words, only the common example sentence numbers are extracted and stored in the example sentence number storage area 304.
[0057]
For example, when “care & of” is stored in the input character storage area 302, the CPU 10 first refers to the word example sentence table 206 and stores the example sentence number corresponding to the input word “care” in the example sentence number storage area 304. To do. A diagram showing an example of the storage state of the example sentence number storage area 304 at this time is (1) in FIG. In (1) of FIG. 5B, the CPU 10 reads the example sentence numbers “62, 103, 142, 143, 154” corresponding to the input word “care” from the word example sentence table 206 and stores them in the example sentence number storage area 304. It is an example which showed the memorize | stored state. Next, the CPU 10 reads the example sentence number “103, 132, 142, 143, 146” corresponding to the input word “of” from the word example sentence table 206. Then, among the example sentence numbers stored in the example sentence number storage area 304, the example sentence numbers not stored in the example sentence number corresponding to “of” are deleted from the example sentence number storage area 304. Accordingly, the example sentence number “62, 154” is deleted. An example showing the state stored in the example sentence number storage area 304 at this time is (2) in FIG.
[0058]
Then, the CPU 10 displays a list of example sentences and source headwords on the display unit 50 based on the example sentence numbers stored in the example sentence number storage area 304 (step A16).
[0059]
For example, the CPU 10 refers to the source headword “balance” corresponding to the example sentence number “103” stored in the example sentence number storage area 304 and the example sentence “balance work and taking care of her babys”. Is read out and displayed on the display unit 50.
[0060]
Next, when the jump key 11 is pressed (step A18; Yes), the CPU 10 executes the jump mode. When an example sentence is selected (step A20; Yes), the CPU 10 displays a jump window (step A22). Here, in the present embodiment, the example sentence is selected when the source headword displayed in step A16 is selected as the jump source, but is not limited to this. For example, in the example sentence May be designated, or an identifier may be selected.
[0061]
For example, when the source headword “balance” corresponding to the example sentence number 103 is selected, the CPU 10 stores the example sentence corresponding to the example sentence number 103 as selected.
[0062]
Next, when the example source jump is selected from those displayed in the jump window (step A24; Yes), the CPU 10 determines the source headword corresponding to the example sentence selected from the English-Japanese dictionary example sentence DB 204 and the meaning identifier. Are read (step A26).
[0063]
For example, when the example sentence corresponding to the example sentence number 103 is selected, the CPU 10 reads the source headword “balance” and the meaning identifier “motion 1” from the example sentence table 204.
[0064]
Next, CPU10 reads the description information of the headword which suits a source headword from English-Japanese dictionary DB202 (step A28). Specifically, the headword that matches the source headword read from the English-Japanese dictionary example sentence DB 204 is read from the English-Japanese dictionary DB 202. And CPU10 reads the description information corresponding to the read headword from English-Japanese dictionary DB202.
[0065]
For example, the CPU 10 reads the headword corresponding to the source headword “balance” corresponding to the example sentence number 103 from the English-Japanese dictionary DB 202 and reads the explanation information corresponding to the headword.
[0066]
Then, the CPU 10 displays the read headword and displays it on the display unit 50 from the head portion of the explanation information corresponding to the headword (step A30). Here, when the description information corresponding to the meaning identifier read from the English-Japanese dictionary example sentence DB 204 is not displayed at a predetermined position on the display unit 50 (step A32; No), the CPU 10 scrolls the displayed description information. Displayed (step A34). When the explanation information corresponding to the meaning identifier read from the English-Japanese dictionary example sentence DB 204 is displayed at a predetermined position (step A32; Yes), the CPU 10 ends the first meaning display. Here, in the present embodiment, the predetermined position refers to the portion of the first line of the area where the description information is displayed, but is not limited to this. For example, the description information corresponding to the identifier is It may be the case where it is displayed on the display unit 50, when it is displayed on the last line, or when it is displayed in the center. Furthermore, the headword may always be displayed on the first line of the display unit, and the explanation information may be scroll-displayed from the lower line.
[0067]
For example, when the jump processing is executed based on the example sentence number 103, the CPU 10 reads the source headword “balance” and the explanation information “(away from the surface)... To do. However, at this time, the meaning identifier associated with the jump source is “motion 1”, which is different from the meaning identifier “name 1” associated with the currently displayed explanation information. Therefore, until the description information “[SVO (M)] <person / thing / thing><thing / thing> [... and] ...” corresponding to the meaning identifier “motion 1” is displayed in the first line, The CPU 10 scrolls the explanation information.
[0068]
Next, an operation example of the first meaning display process will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 7A is an example of a screen displayed on the display screen W100 that “care & of” has been input as an input character. When “care & of” is input as an input character to the character input area R100 of the display screen, the CPU 10 stores the input character “care & of” in the input character storage area 302 (step A12 in FIG. 6).
[0069]
FIG. 7B is a diagram showing an example of a display screen W100 on which a list of example sentences and source headwords is displayed. The CPU 10 extracts example sentence numbers common to the input words stored in the input character storage area 302, and reads the source headwords and example sentences corresponding to the extracted example sentence numbers from the English-Japanese dictionary example sentence DB 204. Then, the read source headword and the example sentence are displayed on the display screen W100 as the example sentence display R102 (step A16 in FIG. 6).
[0070]
The reverse display M100 is a display indicating that the source headword “balance” has been selected. When the jump key 11 is pressed (step A18 in FIG. 6; Yes), the CPU 10 switches to the jump mode. When the direction key 9 is pressed by the user, the highlighted display of the word moves, and when the enter key 7 is pressed, the highlighted word is selected. Here, when the source headword is selected, the CPU 10 selects the example sentence displayed on the example sentence display R102 together with the source headword (step A20 in FIG. 6).
[0071]
FIG. 8A is a diagram illustrating an example of the display screen W100 in which the enter key 7 is pressed on the display screen W100 in FIG. 7B. When the enter key 7 is pressed, the CPU 10 displays the jump window J100 on the display screen W100 (step A22 in FIG. 6). The jump window J100 displays a dictionary DB and a process for re-searching, and a dictionary DB and a process for re-searching can be selected by selecting with a radio button. In FIG. 8A, “example source jump” is selected by the radio button M102.
[0072]
FIG. 8B is a diagram showing an example of the display screen W100 on which the explanation information of the source headword is displayed. In FIG. 8A, when “example source jump” is selected (step A24 in FIG. 6; Yes), the CPU 10 converts the source headword corresponding to the selected example sentence and the meaning identification information into an English-Japanese dictionary. Read from the example sentence DB 204 (step A26 in FIG. 6). Then, the explanation information of the headword corresponding to the source headword is read from the English-Japanese dictionary DB 202 (step A28 in FIG. 6). Then, the CPU 10 displays the headword and the explanation information corresponding to the headword on the display screen W100 (step A30 in FIG. 6). Here, in FIG. 8B, not all the description information S100 can be displayed on the display screen W100, and only the portion corresponding to the region R104 that can be displayed on the display screen W100 is displayed.
[0073]
FIG. 9 is a screen in which the explanation information S100 is scrolled upward and the explanation information of the meaning of the headword corresponding to the selected example sentence is displayed in the first line. Since the explanation information displayed in FIG. 8B does not display the meaning information of the headword corresponding to the selected example sentence, the CPU 10 scrolls the explanation information (step A34 in FIG. 6). ) And scrolls until explanation information of the meaning of the headword corresponding to the selected example sentence is displayed on the first line (region R106). Note that the scroll display may be performed not only when the lines are displayed line by line, but also when the lines are displayed line by line or when each word meaning is displayed. Further, the scroll display timing may be delayed or accelerated depending on the setting.
[0074]
FIG. 10A shows an example sentence associated with the headword “balance” and the meaning identifier “dynamic 1” based on the example mark M104 displayed in the explanation information displayed in FIG. It is an example which shows the display screen W100 read from the dictionary example sentence DB204 and displayed. Specifically, when the example mark M104 is selected, the CPU 10 reads the example sentence number associated with the meaning of the selected headword from the English-Japanese dictionary DB 202. Then, the example sentence corresponding to the read example sentence number is read from the English-Japanese dictionary example sentence DB 204 and displayed on the display screen W100. Thereby, it is not necessary to return to the input screen and input the input character corresponding to the source headword again to perform the search, and it is possible to display the example sentence corresponding to the source headword.
[0075]
As described above, according to the first embodiment, an example sentence is selected, and it is possible to easily grasp in which sense the source headword used in the example sentence is used. Furthermore, by automatically scrolling the explanation information and displaying the corresponding meaning information, it is possible to grasp the explanation information of the corresponding meaning while roughly confirming the explanation information of the source headword. It becomes possible.
[0076]
[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described. In the present embodiment, one source headword can be selected from the displayed example sentences and source headwords, and the meaning of the source headword can be directly displayed.
[0077]
The configuration of the electronic dictionary in the second embodiment is a configuration in which the ROM 20 is replaced with the ROM 22 shown in FIG. 10B in the configuration of the electronic dictionary 1 shown and described in FIG. 2 in the first embodiment. Hereinafter, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.
[0078]
The configuration of the ROM 22 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 10B, the ROM 22 stores an English-Japanese dictionary DB 202, an English-Japanese dictionary example sentence DB 204, a word example sentence table 206, and a second meaning display program 220.
[0079]
The second meaning display program 220 is a program for realizing the second meaning display processing in the present embodiment, and the second meaning display processing is realized by the CPU 10 executing the second meaning display program 220. The CPU10 extracts the example sentence containing all the input words input by the user from English-Japanese dictionary example sentence DB204, and displays it as a list. Then, when one example sentence is selected from the list-displayed example sentences and the example jump is selected, the CPU 10 refers to the description information corresponding to the meaning of the headword corresponding to the selected example sentence with reference to the address. Display directly at the position.
[0080]
Next, the operation of the electronic dictionary 1 in the second embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0081]
FIG. 11 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the electronic dictionary 1 according to the second meaning display process. This second meaning display process is a process realized by the CPU 10 executing the second meaning display program 220 in the ROM 22.
[0082]
When an input character is input from the user, the CPU 10 extracts an example sentence including all input words included in the input character and stores it in the example sentence number storage area 304. Then, the CPU 10 reads the source headword and the example sentence from the English-Japanese dictionary example sentence DB 204 based on the example sentence number stored in the example sentence number storage area 304, and displays a list of example sentences. When one example sentence is selected from the list-displayed example sentences, the CPU 10 displays a jump window on the display unit 50 (steps A10 to A22).
[0083]
Next, when the example source jump is selected from the displayed jump window (step A24; Yes), the CPU 10 reads the meaning address corresponding to the selected example sentence from the English-Japanese dictionary example sentence DB 204 (step B30).
[0084]
Then, the CPU 10 reads the explanatory information from the English-Japanese dictionary DB 202 with reference to the read meaning address (step B32). Further, the CPU 10 directly displays the explanation information corresponding to the meaning address at a predetermined position on the display unit 50 (step B34).
[0085]
For example, if the example sentence corresponding to the example sentence number “49” is selected, the CPU 10 reads the meaning address “1205” corresponding to the example sentence number “49” from the English-Japanese dictionary example sentence DB 204. Here, in the meaning address, the upper digit indicates the headword address. Therefore, the CPU 10 reads the explanation information of the headword “above” corresponding to the headword address “1200”. Further, since the meaning address associated with the example sentence is currently “1205”, the CPU 10 exceeds the explanation information “(thing / thing)” <understanding of person, etc.> corresponding to the meaning address “1205”. "..." is displayed at a predetermined position.
[0086]
Next, an operation example of the second meaning display process will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 12A shows an example of a display screen W200 in which “get & to” is input as an input character. When “get & to” is input as an input character in the character input area R200 of the display screen W200, the CPU 10 stores the input character “get & to” in the input character storage area 302 (step A12 in FIG. 11).
[0087]
FIG. 12B is a diagram showing an example of a display screen W200 on which a list of example sentences and source headwords is displayed. The CPU 10 extracts example sentence numbers common to the input words stored in the input character storage area 302, reads the source headwords and example sentences corresponding to the extracted example sentence numbers from the English-Japanese dictionary example sentence DB 204, and displays the display screen W200. (Step A16 in FIG. 11).
[0088]
The reverse display M200 is a reverse display indicating that the source headword “above” is selected. Here, when the source headword “above” is selected, the CPU 10 selects the example sentence of the example sentence number “49” together with the source headword (step A20 in FIG. 11).
[0089]
FIG. 13A is a diagram illustrating an example of the display screen W200 in which the enter key 7 is pressed on the display screen W200 of FIG. When the enter key 7 is pressed, the CPU 10 displays the jump window J200 on the display screen W200 (step A22 in FIG. 11). Here, in FIG. 13A, “example source jump” is selected by the radio button M202.
[0090]
FIG. 13B is a diagram showing an example of the display screen W200 on which the explanation information of the source headword is displayed. In FIG. 8A, when “example source jump” is selected (step A24 in FIG. 11; Yes), the CPU 10 reads the meaning address “1205” corresponding to the selected example sentence from the English-Japanese dictionary example sentence DB 204. (Step B30 in FIG. 11). The CPU 10 reads the explanation information from the English-Japanese dictionary DB 202 based on the headword address “1200” of the explanation information corresponding to the meaning address “1205” (step B32 in FIG. 11). Then, the CPU 10 displays the explanation information corresponding to the meaning address “1205” at a predetermined position on the display screen W200.
[0091]
FIG. 14 illustrates an example sentence associated with the headword “above” and the meaning identifier “previous 5” based on the example mark M204 displayed in the explanation information displayed in FIG. It is an example which shows the display screen W200 read from the dictionary example sentence DB204 and displayed. Thereby, it is not necessary to return to the input screen and input the input character corresponding to the source headword again to perform the search, and it is possible to display the example sentence corresponding to the source headword.
[0092]
As described above, according to the second embodiment, it is possible to select an example sentence and directly display the meaning of the source headword used in the example sentence.
[0093]
(First modification)
In the second embodiment described above, the case where the source headwords and example sentences are displayed in a list, the source headwords in the list are selected, and the jump process is executed has been described in detail. It is also effective to display the meaning identifier directly in the example sentence list display. Hereinafter, a description will be given with reference to the drawings.
[0094]
FIG. 15A is a diagram showing an example of the display screen 220 in which the source headword and the example sentence are displayed and the meaning identifiers M220 and M222 are displayed in step A16 of FIG.
[0095]
The CPU 10 reads the meaning identifier corresponding to the selected example sentence number from the English-Japanese example sentence DB 204 and displays the corresponding identifier on the display screen W220. Next, in step A20 in FIG. 111, when an example sentence is selected, the example sentence is selected by selecting a meaning identifier instead of the source headword.
[0096]
FIG. 15B is a diagram showing an example of a display screen W220 on which the meaning identifier M220 is selected and the corresponding explanation information is displayed in FIG.
[0097]
Thus, when displaying example sentences as a list, it is possible to select example sentences by displaying the meaning identifiers and directly selecting the displayed meaning identifiers. Therefore, the user can grasp in advance about the meaning position of the jump destination.
[0098]
(Second modification)
Further, in the second embodiment described above, in step B30 to step B34, the explanation information is read from the English-Japanese dictionary DB 202 based on the headword address, and the corresponding explanation information of the meaning is displayed using the meaning address. However, it is also possible to directly read the explanation information of the meaning.
[0099]
Specifically, the CPU 10 reads the meaning address (for example, “1205”) associated with the selected example sentence number (for example, “49”) from the English-Japanese dictionary example sentence DB 204. Then, the CPU 10 can read from the read semantic address (for example, “1205”) to the end of the explanation information of the headword “above”, and display the read explanation information on the display unit 50.
[0100]
Furthermore, only the explanation information of the corresponding meaning may be read and displayed. For example, the CPU 10 reads the description information “(thing / thing) <understanding of person ...” corresponding to the semantic address “1205” and displays it on the display unit 50.
[0101]
As described above, the amount of information to be read can be reduced by directly reading the word meaning address or by reading only the explanation information of the word meaning of the selected example sentence. Therefore, it is possible to display the explanation information at a higher speed.
[0102]
