  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a display operation (part 2) of dictionary information corresponding to a user operation associated with the pronunciation sound reproduction mode process of the electronic dictionary device 10.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a display operation (part 3) of dictionary information corresponding to a user operation associated with the pronunciation sound reproduction mode process of the electronic dictionary device 10.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a display operation (part 4) of dictionary information corresponding to a user operation accompanying the pronunciation sound reproduction mode processing of the electronic dictionary device 10.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 4A, the dictionary content key 17a is used to select the dictionary content 12b1 of the English-Japanese dictionary and search for the headword “touch” WO, and the example sentence R “The seek bar is” included in the dictionary information DI. “operated with the touch pen.” is displayed on the display unit 18 as the dictionary information display screen G.

  Here, in order to reproduce and learn the pronunciation sound of the example sentence R, when the sound key 17d is operated, the sound generation sound reproduction mode is set and the processing in FIG. 3 is started.

  First, as shown in FIG. 4B, when the first word “The” of the example sentence R displayed on the dictionary information display screen G is touched with the touch pen P (step S1 (YES)), the example sentence R “ Example sentence voice data SO associated with “The... Pen.” Is read out. Then, with the touched word “The” as a starting point, according to the playback setting time of the example sentence voice time-word correspondence information table ST as shown in FIG. (Step S2).

  At this time, along with the reproduction of the pronunciation sound from the word “The” set as the pronunciation start point, a contour B that sequentially surrounds the character string of the pronounced word is displayed (step S3).

  In addition, the number of pronunciations of the word from which the pronunciation sound is stored and managed in the word-by-word pronunciation number memory 16a is added [1], and the background display darkness information 12c set according to the number of pronunciations is added. The background surrounded by the contour R of the pronounced word is colored and displayed C (step S4).

  In the present embodiment, low density coloring display according to the background display density information 12c corresponding to the word with the number of times of pronunciation (16a) is C, and the word with the number of times of pronunciation (16a) is 2 The medium density coloring display according to the background display darkness information 12c is C ', and the high density coloring display according to the background display darkness information 12c corresponding to the word whose number of pronunciations (16a) is 3 times. This will be described as C ″.

  In this way, as the pronunciation sound of the example sentence R displayed on the dictionary information display screen G is sequentially reproduced, the character string of the example sentence R is sequentially surrounded and displayed by the outline B, and according to the number of pronunciations for each word. The background is colored and displayed C with the selected color density. In this state, as shown in FIG. 4C, for example, when the word “operated” that has not been pronounced is pen-touched while the word “bar” in the example sentence R is being pronounced (step S5 (YES)). Then, according to the example sentence voice time-word correspondence information table ST (see FIG. 2), the pronunciation voice is reproduced and paused until the word “operated” including the touched character (step S6).

  In this paused state, as shown in FIG. 5A, when the inside of the outline B of the character string from which the pronunciation sound is played is pen-touched (step S7 (YES)), the pause is released and continues. The reproduction of the pronunciation voice from the unsounded word “with” is resumed (step S8).

  Here, as shown in FIG. 5B, the outline B of the character string in which the pronunciation sound is reproduced is pen-touched and contoured in the right direction, that is, the direction in which the pronunciation sound of the character string is reproduced. When a drag operation X is performed in B (step S9 (YES)), according to the moving speed of the drag operation X, the pronunciation sound is reproduced according to the example sentence time-word correspondence information table ST (see FIG. 2). The speed is changed and set in the sound generation speed setting memory 16c (step S10). This change in the sounding sound reproduction speed is made by comparing the moving speed of the drag operation X in the contour B with a preset speed threshold, and the higher the moving speed of the drag operation X, the higher the sounding sound reproduction speed. In addition, as the moving speed of the drag operation X is smaller, the playback speed of the pronunciation sound is also decreased.

  Thereafter, when the pronunciation sound (example sentence sound data SO) is reproduced to the end of the character string of the example sentence R “The seek bar is operated with the touch pen.” (Step S11 (YES)), FIG. ), The background color display C corresponding to the number of pronunciations for each word is left as it is, the display of the contour B accompanying the pronunciation sound reproduction is deleted, and the sound reproduction process is stopped (step S12).

  Thus, after the reproduction of the pronunciation sound corresponding to the example sentence R “The seek bar is operated with the touch pen.” Is stopped, the character “seek” is touched with a pen as shown in FIG. 6A, for example. (Step S1 (YES)), the reproduction of the pronunciation sound (example sentence sound data SO) is started from the word “seek” including the touched character (Step S2). Then, the display processing of the outline B surrounding the character string accompanying the reproduction of the pronunciation sound, the additional addition processing of the number of pronunciations for each pronounced word, the background coloring display C to C by the color density according to the number of pronunciations '' Is also started (steps S3 and S4).

  Here, for example, when only the word “seek” of the example sentence R that has started to play the pronunciation sound this time is pronounced, as shown in FIG. 6B, when the character “seek” is pen-touched again, as shown in FIG. Then, it is determined that the pen is touched in the contour B (step S7 (YES)), and the reproduction of the current sound is paused (step S8).

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 6B, since the number of times of pronunciation (16a) of the word “seek” that is pronounced this time is two, only the background portion of the word “seek” is colored and displayed at a medium density. C '.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 6C, when a position other than the character string on the dictionary information display screen G is touched with a pen (step S13 (YES)), the background is colored and displayed according to the number of pronunciations for each word. The display of the contour B is erased without changing C and C ′, and the sound reproduction process is stopped (step S12).

  Thereafter, for example, as shown in FIG. 7A, when the character “seek” is pen-touched again (step S1 (YES)), the word “seek” including the touched character is started as described above. Playback of the pronunciation sound (example sentence sound data SO) is started (step S2). Then, the display processing of the outline B surrounding the character string accompanying the reproduction of the pronunciation sound, the additional addition processing of the number of pronunciations for each pronounced word, the background coloring display C to C by the color density according to the number of pronunciations '' Is also started (steps S3 and S4).

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 7B, the number of pronunciations (16a) of the word “seek” that is pronounced this time is three, so that only the background portion of the word “seek” is colored with high density C ''become.

  Here, regarding the example sentence R, the number of pronunciations (16a) of the word “seek” that has been pronounced this time has become three, and the predetermined number of times “3” preset in the word book registration pronunciation number setting memory 16b has been reached. If it is determined (step S14 (YES)), a word book registration message screen M prompting the user to select [Y / N] whether or not to register the word book for the word “seek” is displayed in a window (step S15). ).

  In the word book registration message screen M, when the user operates the [Y] key of the input unit 17 (step S16 (YES)), the word “seek” to be registered is registered in the word book data 12d. (Step S17).

  Then, the word “bar” next to the word “seek” registered in the word book is set as a starting point (step S18), and reproduction of the pronunciation sound (example sentence sound data SO) is started (step S3). Then, the display processing of the outline B surrounding the character string accompanying the reproduction of the pronunciation sound, the additional addition processing of the number of pronunciations for each pronounced word, the background coloring display C to C by the color density according to the number of pronunciations '' Is also started (step S4).

  Thereafter, when the pronunciation sound (example sentence sound data SO) is reproduced until the last “... Pen.” Of the character string of the example sentence R (step S11 (YES)), as shown in FIG. The background color display C to C '' corresponding to the number of pronunciations for each word is left as it is, the display of the outline B accompanying the pronunciation sound reproduction is deleted, and the sound reproduction process is stopped (step S12).

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 7C, the number of pronunciations (16a) of the first word “The” in the example sentence R “The seek bar is operated with the touch pen.” ) Is once, the background portion of the word “The” is colored display C at a low concentration, and the number of pronunciations (16a) of the next word “seek” is three times. The background portion of “seek” is colored display C ″ at a high concentration, and each of the next words “bar is operated with the touch pen.” is pronounced twice (16a). The background portion of the word is colored display C ′ at medium density.

  Therefore, according to the dictionary information display function in the pronunciation sound reproduction mode by the electronic dictionary device 10 having the above-described configuration, when the character string of the example sentence R displayed on the dictionary information display screen G is pen-touched, the sound data SO of the example sentence R is Playback of the pronunciation sound is started from the word including the character read and touched by the pen, and the background by the color density corresponding to the display of the outline B surrounding the pronounced character string and the number of pronunciations for each word Coloring indications C to C '' are performed. Then, when the number of pronunciations (16b) stored and managed for each word of the example sentence R reaches a predetermined number (for example, 3 times), whether or not to register the corresponding word as the word book data 12d [Y / N] A message screen M is displayed, and a word book can be registered with one key operation of the [Y] key. For this reason, not only the user can freely reproduce the read-out voice in accordance with the example sentence R, but also automatically determine words that are considered important for the user who has repeated the voice reproduction a predetermined number of times, and the word book Data can be registered in the data 12d, and learning can be performed more efficiently by opening the word book data 12d.

  Further, according to the dictionary information display function in the pronunciation sound reproduction mode by the electronic dictionary device 10 having the above-described configuration, during the reproduction of the sound data SO of the example sentence R, the inside of the contour B that surrounds the range of the reproduced word When the pen is touched, the sound reproduction is paused.
