Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable a user to easily understand the information received via a communication circuit by outputting additionally the specific information to specify the information received via the communication circuit in accordance with the received information. CONSTITUTION:A reception means 1 is provided to receive the information via a communication circuit 8 together with a retrieving means 2 which retrieves the specific information in order to specify the information in accordance with the information received by the means 1, and an output means 5 which outputs the retrieved specific information. For instance, 'being weak in medical terms' is registered and therefore the medical terms are listed up out of the character code strings by reference to a medical term dictionary contained in a storage 6. Then the interpreting information on the difficult medical terms listed up are retrieved out of the knowledge information stored in the storage 6 and outputted to the screen of a CRT 5. Thus it is possible to display the interpretations of the difficult words if contained in the received character code strings.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a communication terminal device, and in particular, to a communication terminal device that is capable of adding and outputting specific information that specifies information in response to information sent via a communication line. The present invention relates to a communication terminal device.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, when a communication terminal device connected to a communication system receives various information sent from a host computer or the like via a communication line (network), it directly displays the information on a CRT display or the like. is configured to output.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the above-described conventional method, even if the received information is displayed as is on a CRT display, etc., if there are codes or concepts unknown to the user, the user cannot display the information. In order to understand the content, it was necessary to separately obtain information about unknown symbols and concepts from other sources, such as by consulting a dictionary.

The present invention was made to solve the above problems, and
By being able to add specific information that identifies the information and output it according to the information sent via the communication line,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a communication terminal device that allows a user to easily understand the information.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, a communication terminal device of the present invention has the following configuration. In other words, in a communication terminal device that can add and output specific information specifying information according to information sent via a communication line, a receiving means for receiving information sent via a communication line. , a search means for searching specific information for specifying the information according to the information from the receiving means, and an output means for outputting the specific information searched by the search means.

[Operation] In the above configuration, in response to information sent via a communication line, specific information that specifies the information is searched for, and the searched specific information is added and output.

[Embodiment] Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

<Description of Configuration (FIG. 1)> FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram showing the configuration of a communication terminal device with an annotation function for difficult terms in this embodiment. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a communication line interface, which controls various information transmitted and received via a communication line (network) 8 by a communication control program executed by a CPU 2, which will be described later.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a CPU, which controls the entire apparatus according to a control procedure stored in a ROM 3, which will be described later.

3 is a ROM, which is a memory that stores control procedures (programs), control data, etc. shown in FIG.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a keyboard, which is an input section for inputting personal characteristics, which will be described later in this embodiment, and inputting instructions to the apparatus. Reference numeral 5 denotes a CRT, which displays various information received via the communication line 8, key data input from the keyboard 4, and the like. 6 is a storage device, which includes a work area and various tables used by the CPU 2 when executing processing;
This is a memory that stores the user's personal characteristics, which will be described later.

<Description of Control Procedure (FIG. 2)> Next, the control procedure of the communication terminal device in this embodiment will be explained below according to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, in step S1, when the CPU 2 receives information 1 sent from the communication line 8 via the communication line interface 1 by the communication control program, it stores it in the buffer of the storage device 6.

In this embodiment, this information 1 will be explained below as character code string information written in JIS code. However, the information 1 is not limited to this, and may be information such as audio and images, for example.

Next, when the storage of information 1 is finished, the process advances to step S2, starts the information generation control program, and changes the information 1 (character code string information) to information 2 (difficult word list).
generate. This process is based on the received character code string.
This is a process of extracting words (difficult words) that the user does not seem to understand based on the user's characteristics and creating a list. Specifically, this is a process in which words that the user does not seem to understand are selected from the character code string based on the user's personal characteristic information registered in the storage device 6.

For example, if "I am not good at medical terminology" is registered as personal characteristic information, the medical terminology dictionary in the storage device 6 is referred to and the medical terminology is restored from the character code string.

Thereafter, when the creation of the difficult word list is completed, the process advances to step S3, and explanatory information regarding the restored difficult words is searched from the knowledge information in the storage device 6. Then, in step s4, the explanation of the searched difficult word is read out as a character code string, and the above-mentioned step S2
Information 3 is generated by adding it to the end of Information 2 (difficult word list) created in .

Next, in step S5, the generated information 3 is output onto the screen of the CRT 5 by the display control program so that the user can recognize it.

In addition, the registration of the personal characteristic information mentioned above is performed by the personal characteristic registration control program stored in ROM3. This process is a process in which the user inputs the range of knowledge of the user himself or herself using a conversational method using the keyboard 4 and CRT 5, and registers the information in the storage device 6 as personal characteristic information.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, even if the received character code string includes a difficult word, the user can easily understand it by displaying the explanation together with the word.

Further, in this embodiment, character code string information has been explained as an example, but the present invention may be applied to conceptual information having a more complicated expression format.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, specific information that specifies information can be added and output according to information sent via a communication line. You can easily understand the information sent through the .
