One example of such an electronic device is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2006-092004.

As a form of such a jump function, address jumps and super jumps are known.

Among these, the address jump indicates a link destination " link destination " predetermined at the time of shipment of the product as a jump destination. For example, when an idiom containing the heading is opened in the description information of an arbitrary heading, and the description information is set in advance in each idiom portion as a link, any idiom portion of the displayed text is selected. When the user selects it, this idiom (table control) and its explanatory information are displayed.

Meanwhile, in the super jump, a word to be jumped is searched from the dictionary database selected by the user, and a headword and description information corresponding to the word are displayed. For example, if a user selects a word to be jumped from among the displayed texts, and then selects a dictionary database of a search destination, the corresponding word is searched from the selected dictionary database, and the headword and description information corresponding to the word are displayed. have.

Next, the internal structure of the electronic dictionary 1 will be described. 2 is a block diagram showing the internal structure of the electronic dictionary 1.

As shown in the figure, the electronic dictionary 1 includes a display unit 40, an input unit 30, a central processing unit (CPU) 20, a flash ROM (Read Only Memory) 80, and a random access memory (RAM). 90 is provided, and each part is comprised by the bus 100 so that mutual data communication is possible.

The display unit 40 includes the main display 10 and the sub display 11 described above, and transmits various types of information to the main display 10 or the sub display 11 based on the display signal input from the CPU 20. It is supposed to display.

The input unit 30 includes the key group 2 and the touch panel 110 described above, and outputs a signal corresponding to the pressed key or the position of the touch panel 110 to the CPU 20.

The CPU 20 executes a process based on a predetermined program in accordance with an input command, executes an instruction to each function unit, transfers data, and the like, and collectively controls the electronic dictionary 1. Specifically, the CPU 20 reads out various programs stored in the flash ROM 80 in accordance with an operation signal input from the input unit 30 and executes processing in accordance with the corresponding program. The CPU 20 saves the processing result in the RAM 90 and outputs the processing result to the display unit 40 as appropriate.

The flash ROM 80 is a memory for storing programs and data for realizing various functions of the electronic dictionary 1. In the present embodiment, the flash ROM 80 stores the information display program 81, the dictionary database group 82, the text content group 83, the original link table 84, and the like according to the present invention. .

The information display program 81 is a program for causing the CPU 20 to execute an original link creation process (see FIG. 4), an original link operation process (see FIG. 5), and the like described later. In addition, the original link creation process is a process for the user to create an original link using arbitrary display contents as a jump source and a jump place, and the original link operation process is based on the original link created by the user. This is the process of displaying the display contents.

The dictionary database group 82 includes a plurality of dictionary databases 820,... In the present embodiment, the dictionary database 820a of the "ABC English-Japanese Dictionary" and the dictionary database 820b of the "XYZ English-Japanese Dictionary" are provided. ), A dictionary database 820c of the English Thesaurus and a dictionary database 820d of AtoZ English Grammar. These dictionary databases 820,... For example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 3, for example, as for the plural heading words, descriptive information consisting of a phonetic symbol and semantic content of the heading words, or a compound word for identifying a verse or compound word including the heading words Numbers and the like are associated and stored. In each dictionary database 820, for example, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), a table and the like in which the phrase and compound words and the description information of the phrase and compound words are associated with the compound word number are stored. have.

The text content group 83 has a plurality of text contents 830. In the present embodiment, the text contents group 83 includes text contents 830a of "English Speeches and Words".

The original link table 84 associates and stores the display contents of the link paper (jump paper) with respect to one section of the link source (jump circle) arbitrarily set by the user in the original link creation process (see FIG. 4) described later. It is. Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 3C, the original link table 84 includes the content name of the text content 830 of the link source and one section of the link source in the text content 830. And the dictionary name of the linkage dictionary database 820 and the position data of the description information of the linkage in the dictionary database 820 are stored and stored as link information. In addition, this original link table 84 corresponds to the content name of the text content 830 of each link source, a change type clause in which the word in section 1 of the link source is changed, and the section 1 of the link source. The dictionary name of the linkage dictionary database 820 and the position data of the description information of the linkage in this dictionary database 820 are associated with each other, and are also stored as link information.

In addition, a section may consist of only one word. For example, changing a word in verse 1 includes, for example, combining a constituent word with a hyphen, replacing a constituent word of a verb among a prototype, a past form, a past participle, and a radical change form, or adding a noun to a singular form, Substitution between plural forms, personal pronouns between subject, possessive, object, possessive and recursive pronouns, or substitution of adjectives between circular, comparative and superlative forms. As a method of acquiring a variable clause by changing a word in this manner, a conventionally known method can be used, such as referring to a table in which variable words are stored in association with each word.

The RAM 90 has a memory area for temporarily holding various programs executed by the CPU 20, data relating to the execution of these programs, and the like. In the present embodiment, this RAM 90 includes a selection dictionary storage area 91, an input character storage area 92, a designated heading storage area 93, a jump target word storage area 94, and a content display history storage area ( 95) and the like.

Here, the selection dictionary storage area 91 stores identification information (dictionary name) of the dictionary database 820 selected by the user as a search target for the headword, and the input character storage area 92 is input by the user. The input character is saved. In addition, the designated heading storage area 93 stores the designated heading selected and designated by the user as the heading for the dictionary search. In addition, in this embodiment, the designated headword in this embodiment is selected from the list of headwords read from the dictionary database in alphabetical order or fifty order so as to correspond forward to the input character or the designated character. In the jump target word storage area 94, a jump target word is stored. In the content display history storage area 95, the content name of the text content 830 displayed last and the position data of the display portion displayed last.

Subsequently, an original link creation process during operation of the electronic dictionary 1 will be described with reference to FIG. 4.

4 is a flowchart showing the flow of the original link creation process that the CPU 20 reads out and executes the information display program 81.

As shown in this figure, first, when a user presses the key group 2 and selects one of the text contents 830 from the text contents group 83, the CPU 20 selects the text contents 830. It displays on the main display 10 (step S1).

Next, the CPU 20 displays the creation button and registration button (not shown) of the original link on the sub display 11, and determines whether or not the creation button of the original link is touched by the user (step S2). ).

When it is determined in step S2 that the creation button is not touched (step S2; No), the CPU 20 shifts to another process, and when it is determined that it is touched (step S2; Yes), the text content at the present time. After storing the display contents of 830 in the content display history storage area 95, a list of dictionary names of the dictionary database 820 is displayed on the main display 10 (step S3), and any dictionary database is presented to the user. 820 is selected as a jump sheet.

Next, when the user selects any one dictionary database 820, the CPU 20 stores the dictionary name of the selected dictionary database 820 in the selection dictionary storage area 91, and at the same time, the dictionary database 820. The headwords in the list are displayed on the main display 10 (step S4), and the user selects one of the headwords as the jumper (link). In this case, the user may select the headword by input of a search string, and select the headword in accordance with the classification of the headword in the dictionary database 820, as shown in FIG. You may do it.

Next, when the user selects any one heading, the CPU 20 retrieves (detects) the selected heading and its descriptive information from the selected dictionary database 820 and displays it on the main display 10 (step S5). ). At this time, if the explanation information to be displayed does not completely enter the display area of the main display 10, the CPU 20 scrolls the display contents according to the operation of the cursor key 2e by the user, and the explanation information. A part of is displayed on the main display 10.

Next, the CPU 20 judges whether or not the user touches the registration button on the sub display 11 (step S6), and determines not to touch (step S6; No), that is, the user is a compound word. When it is determined that the display operation such as the script phrase or compound word in the explanatory information is performed by the operation of the key 2j or the like, the description information of the selected script phrase or compound word is displayed (step S7), and the process proceeds to step S6. Also in this step S7, when the displayed explanatory information does not completely enter the display area of the main display 10, the CPU 20 scrolls the display content according to the operation of the cursor key 2e by the user. A part of the description information is displayed on the main display 10.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S6 that the registration button has been touched (step S6; Yes), the CPU 20 displays the dictionary name of the dictionary database 820 displayed on the main display 10 and the displayed explanatory information. Is set as a jump paper (linked paper) and stored in the original link table 84, and the fact is displayed on the main display 10 (step S8).

Next, the CPU 20 redisplays the display contents of the text content 830 displayed in steps S1 to S2 on the main display 10 based on the content display history storage area 95 (step S9). Then, any one of the displayed character strings is assigned to the user by the cursor (step S10).

Next, the CPU 20 determines whether or not the mean / decision key 2b is operated (step S11). If it is determined that it is not operated (step S11; No), the process proceeds to step S10.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S11 that the meaning / decision key 2b has been operated (step S11; Yes), the CPU 20 causes the content name of the text content 830 to be displayed and the text content 830 to be displayed. The specified section is set as the link source, and the original link table 84 is stored as link information in association with the position of the dictionary name and the description information in step S8, and the fact is displayed on the main display 10 (step). S12).

Then, the CPU 20 detects from the text content 830 in the display the changed section in which the word in one section of the link source is changed, the content name of the text content 830 in the display, and the detected changed section. Is the link source, the original link table 84 is stored as link information in association with the position of the dictionary name and the description information in step S8 (step S13), and the original link creation process ends.

Subsequently, the original link operation processing during the operation of the electronic dictionary 1 will be described.

5 is a flowchart showing the flow of the original link operation processing that the CPU 20 reads out and executes the information display program 81.

As shown in this figure, when the key group 2 is pressed by the user and any text content 830 from the text content group 83 is displayed on the main display 10 (step T1), the CPU 20 On the basis of the link information in the original link table 84, the section (including the change type clause) stored as the link source is identified and displayed (step T2). In addition, in this embodiment, although identification display is performed by underlining a character, you may make identification display by another aspect, such as displaying a character in bold letters.

Next, the CPU 20 determines whether or not the jump key 2n is operated by the user (step T3), and if it is determined that it is not operated (step T3; No), the process proceeds to another process.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step T3 that the jump key 2n has been operated (step T3; Yes), the CPU 20 inverts and displays the first word of the display contents on the main display 10 by the cursor. After the operation (step T4), the cursor position (word of inversion display) is switched in accordance with the operation of the cursor key 2e by the user (step T5).

Next, the CPU 20 determines whether or not the mean / decision key 2b is operated by the user (step T6), and if it is determined that it is not operated (step T6; No), the process proceeds to step T5.

If it is determined in step T6 that the meaning / decision key 2b has been operated (step T6; Yes), the CPU 20 determines whether or not the word displayed in the link source clause is inverted at the present time. (Step T7).

If it is determined in step T7 that the word displayed in reverse is not a word included in the section of the link source (step T7; No), the CPU 20 uses the word that is displayed in reverse as a jump target word to jump word storage area. After storing the information in the dictionary 94, a list of dictionary names of the dictionary database 820 including the headword corresponding to the word to be jumped is displayed on the main display 10 (step T8), and any dictionary database 820 is presented to the user. ) As the jump spot.

Next, the CPU 20 determines whether or not any dictionary name is selected (step T9), and if it is determined that it is not selected (step T9; No), it shifts to another process and determines that it is selected ( In step T9; Yes, the dictionary name of the selected dictionary database 820 is stored in the selection dictionary storage area 91, and the description information of the headword corresponding to the word to be jumped is retrieved from the selected dictionary database 820 (detection). ), It is displayed on the main display 10 (step T10), and the original link operation processing is finished.
