DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, the present invention is applied to an electronic organizer. As shown in FIG. 1, a key input unit 1 of the electronic organizer has a menu key 2, a selection key 3, an execution key 4, an input key Key 5, left, right, up and down arrow keys 6
L, 6R, 6U, 6D, an upper cursor key 7U and a lower cursor key 7D, and a plurality of character keys 8 including numeric keys and alphabet keys are provided. It is input to the CPU 9. CP
U9 operates on the basis of the input information, the information stored in the RAM 10, the programs stored in the ROM 11, and the like. And executes all the processes required in the electronic organizer. In addition, the display drive circuit 13
It operates according to the instruction from the CPU 9 and drives the display unit 13. The dictionary ROM 14 as a dictionary means is provided with an English-Japanese dictionary section and a Japanese-English dictionary section. In the English-Japanese dictionary section, English words are stored in alphabetical order, and the meaning, example sentences, and other items related to the word are stored for each English word, and identification data indicating the type of the word is added to each word. . Further, these words and items related to the words are stored for each serial address. Therefore, the words and items related to the words are stored in alphabetical order and in address order.

The RAM 10 as a storage means is provided with a display register 15 for temporarily storing data to be displayed on the display unit 13, a flag M indicating a mode state, a word book register 16, and the like. This word book register 16
Is provided with an address data storage area 16a. In the address data storage area 16a, addresses of words to be stored in the word book register 16 in the dictionary ROM 14 are stored. That is, the word book register 16 does not store the word itself but only the address of the word in the dictionary ROM 14. The part-of-speech identification data storage area 17 stores part-of-speech identification data indicating the part of speech selected in the third embodiment described later.

The storage medium reading unit 18 is provided with various exchangeable recording media 19 such as a ROM card, a RAM card, a ROM disk, and a RAM disk.
The data recorded on the various recording media 19 read by the recording medium reading unit 18 is, for example, a program similar to the program recorded in the ROM 11.
Reference numeral 9 denotes a configuration in which various dictionary mode processes can be executed by the program data read by the recording medium reading unit 18.

Next, the operation of this embodiment having the above configuration will be described with reference to a flowchart showing an outline of a program stored in the ROM 11. That is, the CPU 9 starts the operation according to the main flow shown in FIG. 2 when the power is turned on, determines whether or not the menu key 2 is operated (step A1). (Step A2). By the processing in step A2, the display unit 13
As shown in (a), a menu including icons of “English-Japanese”, “Japanese-English”, and “Wordbook” is displayed.

If the menu key 2 is not operated, it is determined whether or not the menu is being displayed, that is, whether or not the display unit 13 is in the state shown in FIG. 6A (step A3). If it is being displayed, a menu selection process is executed (step A4). This menu selection process is a process of moving the reverse display 30 shown in FIG. 6A to the position of the next menu according to the operation of the left and right arrow keys 6L and 6R. It should be noted that the reverse display 30 is displayed on “English and Japanese” immediately after operating the menu key 2 as shown in FIG.

If the processing in step A4 has been performed, it is determined whether or not the execution key 4 has been operated (step A5). If the execution key 4 has been operated, the reverse display 30 is displayed at that time. The selected menu is set as a selection mode (step A6). Therefore, as shown in the figure, when the execution key 4 is operated in a state where the inverted display 30 is matched with "English and Japanese", the English and Japanese mode is set, and the inverted display 30 is matched with another menu. If the execution key 4 is operated in this state, the mode of the other menu is set.

When the process of step A6 is performed, the mode is changed from the menu being displayed to the mode in which the mode has been set. When the process is executed again after the return,
By proceeding from step A1 to A3 to A7, it is determined whether or not the set mode is the Japanese-English mode (step A).
7) If the mode is the Japanese-English mode, a predetermined Japanese-English process is started (step A8). If the set mode is the English-Japanese mode (step A9 is YE
S), the Japanese-English processing described later is started (step A10),
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), when the execution key 4 is operated as shown in FIG. 6 (b) in a state where the inverted display unit 30 is matched with "English / Japanese", the English / Japanese processing is started, The cursor C is displayed on the display unit 13 together with the characters “word input”. If the set mode is the word book mode (YES in step A11), a word book process described later is executed (step A12), and the set mode is any one of Japanese, English, English and Japanese, and word book. If it is not the mode (steps A7, A9 and A11 are all NO),
Perform other processing.

The English-Japanese processing (step A10) is performed according to the flow shown in FIG. 3, and it is determined whether or not a character has been input (step B1). When the user operates the character keys 8 to enter an arbitrary alphabet in order to check the meaning of Japanese, the entered alphabetic characters are displayed on the display unit 13.
(Step B2). Therefore, FIG.
As shown in (c), when "G" and "O" are input using the character keys 8, the word "GO" is displayed on the display unit 13. When the enter key 4 is operated after inputting this word, the process proceeds to steps B1 → B3 → B4 to search the dictionary ROM 14 for a word corresponding to the input character (step B4). Based on the search in the dictionary ROM 14,
It is determined whether or not the corresponding word exists in the English-Japanese dictionary in the dictionary ROM 14 (step B5).
Data corresponding to a word is read from the dictionary ROM 14 and displayed on the display unit 13. Therefore, FIGS. 6 (c) and 6 (d)
As shown in the figure, when "G" and "O" are input with the character keys 8 and then the execution key 4 is operated, the data of "GO" which is data corresponding to "GO" is obtained by the processing of step B6.
“nt for a walk with me.” is displayed on the display unit 13.
Next, it is determined whether or not there is an example sentence in the data read from the dictionary ROM 14 (step B7). Then, as shown in FIG. 6D, the example sentence “I went for
If "a walk with me." is present, a word book creation process (step B8) described later is performed, and if there is no example sentence, the English-Japanese processing is terminated without performing the word book creation process.

If the word corresponding to the input English character does not exist in the English-Japanese dictionary in the dictionary ROM 14 as a result of the determination in step B5, the similarity is read out from the English-Japanese dictionary and displayed. (Step B9). further,
When the up and down cursor keys 7U and 7D are operated without operating the character keys 8 and the execution key 4, the operation proceeds to steps B1 → B3 → B10 → B11 and the operated up / down cursor keys 7U and 7D are operated. The next or previous address is designated accordingly (step B11), and the word corresponding to the designated address is displayed. That is, as described above, in the English-Japanese dictionary section of the dictionary ROM 14, since each English word is stored in alphabetical order and in address order, an address is designated by operating the up and down cursor keys 7U and 7D. (Step B11), the word corresponding to the address is displayed in the forward or backward direction in alphabetical order (step B12). Of course,
When the execution key 4 is operated in the state where the word is displayed by the processing of step B12 or the state where the similarity is displayed by the processing of step B9, when the English-Japanese processing is performed again, steps B3 to B3 are performed. The process of B8 is performed, and data corresponding to the word is displayed. If there is an example sentence in the data, the word book creation process of step B8 is executed.

This word book creation processing (step B8)
This is performed according to the flow shown in FIG. 4, and first, one word is read from the example sentence (step C1). Therefore, in the case of the above-described example sentence, "I" is first extracted from the example sentence as indicated by the cursor C in FIG. Next, the data in the dictionary ROM 14 is searched (step C2).
After detecting "I", it is determined whether or not the part of speech is a preposition based on the part of speech identification data included in the data of "I" (step C3). As a result of this determination, if the word is not a preposition, it is determined whether or not the word is deformed (step C4). If the word is deformed, the word is changed to the original form (step C5). Therefore, in the above example sentence, "w
ent ”has been read, this step C
By the process of No. 5, "Went" is changed to "GO".

Next, this original word is stored in the word book register 1.
No. 6 is determined (step C6). At this time, since only the address data of each word is stored in the word book register 16 as described above, by comparing the address data, it is determined whether or not the word is already stored in the word book register 16. Can be determined. Then, as a result of the determination in step C6, if the word is not yet stored in the word book register 16, more specifically, if the address of the word in the dictionary ROM 14 is not stored, the word book register 16 The address of the word in the dictionary ROM 14 is stored in the address data storage area 16a (step C7). Therefore, the address of the same word is not stored in the word book register 16, and useless use of the register due to duplicate storage can be prevented.

Then, the word book register 1
6 has been stored, whether or not the above processing has been completed for all data, ie, the example sentence "I went for aw
It is determined whether or not the above processing has been completed for each word constituting "alkwith me." (step C8), and the processing from step C1 is repeated until the processing is completed. This allows
Dictionary ROM in the original form for each word constituting the example sentence
The 14 addresses are stored in the word book register 16 in ascending order of their values, that is, in alphabetical order. At this time, if the part of speech of the word read from the example sentence is “preposition”, and if “for” is read in this example sentence, steps C3 to C8 are performed without performing the processing of steps C4 to C7. Proceed to. Therefore, the preposition, which is a simple word that does not need to be stored and learned, is not stored in the word book register 16, and the inconvenience that the word book register 16 is occupied by simple words used in example sentences is prevented. can do. Of course, in this embodiment, the preposition is excluded from the storage in the word book register 16, but other parts of speech may be excluded.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7A, after the menu key 2 is operated, the left arrow key 6R is pressed twice to change the reverse display section 30 shown in FIG. By operating the execution key 4 after the adjustment, the word book mode is set, and the word book processing is executed in step A12 of FIG. 2 as described above. This word book processing is performed according to the flow shown in FIG. 5, and the first word stored in the word book register 16 is displayed (step D1). That is, at the present time, the example sentence `` I went for a walk with me. ''
Assuming that the above-mentioned word book creation processing of FIG. 4 has been performed only for “I”, since “I” and “me” have the same original form, only “I” is stored, and “for” is the preposition Is not stored because of the
Stores five words in an example sentence composed of seven words. Since these words are stored in alphabetical order as described above, the word book register 16 stores “a”, “GO”, “I”, “WALK”, and “W”.
Five words are stored in the order of "ITH" as address data. Therefore, by executing the process of step D1, “a” is displayed on the display unit 13 as shown in FIG. 7A.

Next, it is determined whether or not the up and down cursor keys 7U and 7D have been operated (step D2). If the cursor keys 7U and 7D have been operated, the next or previous word is displayed according to the direction of the operated cursor keys 7U and 7D. After reading from the word book register 16 (step D3) and displaying it on the display unit 13 (step D4), the processing from step D2 is repeated. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7B, when the down cursor key 7D is operated once, "a" is stored in the word book register 16.
Is displayed next to "GO". When the words stored in the word book register 16 are read and displayed in this way, fractional values (1/5, 2/5) are displayed on the upper right of the display unit 13 as shown in the figure. However, this fraction value is the number of words whose denominator is stored in the word book register 16 and the word book register 1 of the word whose numerator is displayed.
6 shows the alphabet order.

Then, the word book register 1
6 is displayed on the display unit 13 and then the execution key 4 is operated without operating the up and down cursor keys 7U and 7D. When the processing from step D2 is repeated, steps D2 → D5 are performed. Go to D6 to display the translation of the corresponding word. That is, based on the address data of the word currently displayed on the display unit 13, the dictionary ROM 14
In the English-Japanese dictionary section, the item related to the word is read from the corresponding address and displayed on the display section 13. By the processing in step D6, as shown in FIG. 7 (c), the example sentence of "GO" is displayed on the display unit 13. Therefore, after the user displays the word stored in the word book register 16 in the word book mode, the user considers the meaning and example sentence of the displayed word,
Thereafter, by operating the execution key 4 to display the correct meaning of the word or the like, the same learning as in the case of using a normal word book can be performed.

FIG. 8 shows a procedure of a word book creation process (step B8) according to another embodiment of the present invention. That is, first, the cursor is displayed at the first word of the displayed example sentence (step E1),
As shown in FIG. 6 (e), the cursor C is displayed below "I" in this example sentence by the processing of No. 1.
Next, it is determined whether or not the left and right arrow keys 6L, 6R have been operated (step E2). If operated, the cursor C is moved to the next or previous word according to the direction of the operated arrow keys 6L, 6R. Is moved, and the processing from step E2 is repeated. Therefore, by operating the left and right arrow keys 6L and 6R, the cursor C can be moved below the desired word in the example sentence.

Then, after moving the cursor C under the desired word in the example sentence, when the input key 5 is operated, the process proceeds to steps E2 → E4 → E5, and the word at the cursor position is read out (step E5). This word is searched by the data in the dictionary ROM 14 (step E6).
Next, similarly to the above-described first embodiment, it is determined whether or not the searched word is deformed (step E7). If the word is deformed, the word is changed to the original form (step E8). Next, it is determined whether or not the original word exists in the word book register 16 (step E9). Only when the word is not stored in the word book register 16, the address data of the word book register 16 is stored. The address of the word in the dictionary ROM 14 is stored in the area 16a (step E10), and the processing from step E2 is repeated.

If none of the left and right arrow keys 6L, 6R and the input key 5 are operated, and another key is operated, the word book creation processing is terminated, and the process proceeds from step E11 to another processing. Transition. Therefore, in this embodiment, any specified number of words included in the displayed example sentence can be registered in the word book register 16. Further, even if the example sentence is displayed, if any other key is operated without operating the input key 5 once, no word in the example sentence is stored in the word book register 16.
Therefore, the user can select only the word and register it in the word book register 16 if necessary for learning in relation to his / her own language ability. Can be

FIG. 9 shows a main flow in the third embodiment of the present invention. In this flow, steps F1 to F12 are the same as steps A1 to A12 in FIG. Are identical. Then, a step F different from the processing of the steps A1 to A12
At 13, it is determined whether or not the selection key 3 has been operated. Then, when the selection key 3 is operated, a part of speech selection process (step F14) described later is started, and when the selection key 3 is not operated, the process proceeds to another process.

When the part-of-speech selection process is started, the CPU
9 displays “noun, pronoun, verb,...” On the display unit 13 as shown in FIG. 10A, and displays a frame 31 surrounding a predetermined part of speech, and is selected at the bottom. A "selection" column for displaying the initials of the part of speech is displayed. At the same time, the CPU 9 starts the processing according to the flow shown in FIG. 11 and executes the selection processing (step G1). This selection process is a process for selecting one or more desired parts of speech, as shown in FIGS. 10B and 10C, by operating one of the arrow keys 6L, 6R, 6U, 6D. After moving 31 to the desired part of speech, the input key 5 is operated, whereby one or more desired parts of speech are selected. That is, in the case of FIGS. 10B and 10C, “pronoun” and “auxiliary verb” are selected, and “yo” and “assist” are displayed in the “selection” column. When the execution key 4 is operated after the selection operation, the process proceeds to steps G 1 → G 2 → G 3 in the flow of FIG. 11, and the identification data of the selected part of speech is stored in the part of speech identification data storage area 17 of the RAM 10. Let it.

In the third embodiment, the word book creation processing (step B8) is performed according to the flow shown in FIG. In steps H1 to H8 of the flow shown in FIG. 12, the steps other than step H3 are the same processing as the steps other than step C3 of the flow shown in FIG. Then, in the only different step H3, whether or not the part of speech of the word read from the example sentence is the selected part of speech, that is, the part of speech identification data has the same part of speech identification data as the part of speech identification data stored in the storage area. It is determined whether or not there is. As a result of this determination,
If both parts of speech identification data match, steps H4 to H4
7 are performed, and if they do not match, these processes are not performed. Therefore, in the third embodiment, among the words constituting the example sentence, only one or two or more parts of speech words specified by the user in advance are stored in the word book register 1.
6, the words stored in the word book register 16 can be limited to only the desired parts of speech.

In this embodiment, the word corresponding to the selected one or more parts of speech is stored in the same word book register 16, but a word book register for each part of speech is provided. The word of the part of speech to be performed may be stored in each word book register.

[0039]

As described above, according to the present invention, a sentence relating to an input word is searched, and words constituting the searched sentence are stored, so that one word can be input. Thereby, a plurality of words constituting the sentence can be stored in the storage means, and the time required to complete registration of a large number of words can be greatly reduced.

Further, since the items related to the input word are searched by the dictionary means and the words constituting the searched items related to the word are stored in the storage means, registration of a large number of words is completed. The word associated with the input word can be stored in the storage unit while significantly reducing the time required for the input word.

In addition, the word stored in the storage means is read in accordance with the operation, and the read-out word-related items are searched for and output by the dictionary means. The word book function can be generated without the need. Further, by further having a display means for displaying search information, it is possible to completely generate a word book function without connection to other devices, and to extract words from example sentences of matters related to words, Since the input words always exist in the example sentences, the input words can always be stored and the related words can be stored. As a result, a group of words suitable for learning can be stored.

Also, by extracting words of parts of speech other than the parts of speech determined in advance, it is possible to avoid unnecessary storage of words and efficiently store the words. By extracting and storing, only words desired by the user can be stored in a short time. In addition, by making it possible to select the part of speech of a word and extracting and storing only the word of the selected part of speech, it is possible to form a storage state with a high learning effect like a word book for each part of speech. In addition, by storing words in alphabetical order, it is possible to store them in a form that is easy to use and easy to learn as a word book.
