Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a Japanese language learning machine that operates on, for example, a microcomputer and has an input/output device such as a display device, a transparent touch/mother panel input device, etc., and particularly relates to the input device. .

Figure 1 is an external view of a conventional electronic Japanese language learning machine ``Electronic Kanji Dictionary''. Displays the operator's answer input and whether it is correct or incorrect. 3 is the Japanese syllabary key for searching for kanji and phrases and inputting answers in the quantitative line mode, 4 is the question mode selection key for selecting the above question mode, and 5 is the LCD display of the stroke order of the kanji and compound words, etc. These are operation keys for displaying on the device.

A conventional electronic Japanese language learning machine is configured as described above. For example, in the question mode, questions asking about the reading of kanji or compound words are displayed on the LCD display device 2, and the operator can read the readings using the Japanese syllabary. An answer is input using the key 3, and the LCD display device 2 displays whether the input answer is correct or incorrect. At this time, by pressing the "stroke order" key of the operation keys 5, the stroke order of the kanji or compound word displayed on the question is displayed one stroke at a time. The display by this "stroke order" key is shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. For example, as shown in Figure 2,
When the kanji ``山'' is displayed, if you press the ``stroke order'' key, the - eyes of ``山'' will be displayed as shown in Figure 3, and then as shown in Figure 4, the kanji ``Yama'' will be displayed. " is displayed for the second time, and then the third picture is displayed as shown in FIG. In this way, the stroke order can be learned.

However, in the above configuration, there is no stroke order problem mode for testing how well the operator has memorized the stroke order of kanji, and there is no input device for inputting the answers, and the learning of stroke order is simply done using the LCD display device 2. The disadvantage is that the operator only has to memorize what is displayed on the screen, and cannot evaluate the learning effect.

The present invention was made in order to eliminate the drawbacks of the conventional devices as described above, and includes a transparent touch panel that detects any position on the panel as an input device, and a spelling and spelling of an answer input by hand on the transparent touch panel. The configuration includes a means for comparing the spelling characters stored in the storage means and displayed as questions on the display device in terms of their position, shape, and stroke order, and determining the comparison result. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a Japanese language learning machine that can determine whether the whistle order of the spelling letters of the answers input is correct or incorrect.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Fig. 6 is an external view of an electronic Japanese language learning machine showing an embodiment of the present invention, and in the figure, 1 to 5 are the same components as the conventional electronic Japanese language learning machine shown in Fig. 1. It is.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a transparent touch screen 9, which is positioned relative to each other on the LCD display device 2, and has a plurality of accurately divided positional information as an input device for inputting handwritten characters such as the stroke order of kanji. It is possible to detect any position on the panel. That is, the operator uses the transparent touch panel 6 to touch the kanji ``yama'' in the stroke order question displayed on the LCD display device 2 with the pen 7 from above the transparent touch panel 6, for example, as shown in FIG. By tracing, it is possible to enter answers to the stroke order of kanji by hand.

FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing an electronic Japanese language learning machine according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which 8 is an LCD driver;
1 is a control microcomputer, and 10 is a memory that stores information such as the position, shape, and stroke order of Chinese characters corresponding to the position information divided into a plurality of sections of the transparent touch panel 6. In the stroke order i [mode, the microcomputer 9 asks questions about kanji for stroke order, and stores the information in the memory 10.
After reading υ, send the displayed kanji digital data to the LCD driver 8, and read the kanji on the question through the LCD driver 8.
It is configured to control the output so as to display it on the CD display device 2.

Based on the above configuration, the operation of one embodiment of the present invention will be explained according to a flowchart of the microcomputer 9 consisting of steps 81 to S9 in FIG.

First, when the operator selects the i-order question mode (Sl),
A predetermined kanji character is selected (S2), and data on the position, shape, and stroke order of the selected kanji character is read out from the memory 10 (S3). Here, if the selected kanji data is, for example, "yama", the kanji E
"Mountain" is displayed on the LCD display device 2 (S4). In response, the operator inputs an answer by tracing the kanji character "yama" on the question with the pen 7 over the transparent touch panel 6, as shown in FIG. 7, and this answer input is imported (S5).
. Next, the position, shape, and stroke order data of the human-entered answer are compared with the position, shape, and stroke order data read from memory in advance, and the correctness of the above input is determined (S6), and if the answer is correct, the correct answer is displayed. (S7)
, if there is an error, an error is displayed (S8), and the process ends (S9).

Next, the ilo diagram shows another embodiment of the present invention, and is an explanatory diagram of the operation when inputting an answer with the transparent touch panel 6 removed from the main body. 12 is a connection code for electrically connecting the transparent touch channel 6 to the main body. Note that 6a and lla are marks written on the transparent touch panel 6 and text 11, respectively, for alignment purposes.

In the above configuration, in the case of the stroke order question mode, the kanji to be asked are displayed on the LCD display device 2 as in the above-described embodiment of the present invention.
rather than displaying the predetermined printed text 11
The number of page 0 is displayed on the display part w2 as a reference symbol for the kanji written there, and the kanji corresponding to that reference symbol is the kanji on the question. 6 is placed on top of the kanji in question in text 11, aligning the alignment marks 6a and lla, and the answer to the stroke order is entered by tracing the kanji in question with kanji 7 as described above. be.

The following operations are the same as those of the above-described embodiments, and their explanation will be omitted.

Further, in one embodiment of the present invention, L C1) display device 2
The transparent touch panel 6 which is used 17 with its positions facing each other on the top can be placed on the text 11 by being configured to be removable from the main body as shown in other embodiments of the present invention. It goes without saying that a dual-use type may also be used.

Further, in the above embodiment, the LCD display device 2 is used as a display device, but this may be replaced with another display device such as a fluorescent display tube.

Further, in the above embodiment, the transparent touch panel 6 was of a voltage-detecting analog type, but a matrix-shaped digital type may be used instead.

1. Of course, the reference symbol may be an alphabetical symbol instead of the page number mentioned above.

As explained above, according to the present invention, by adding a transparent touch panel as an input device, the operator can input an answer by hand into the transparent touch panel to determine whether the answer is correct or incorrect in response to a kanji stroke order question. The results can be immediately obtained on the display device, and the learning of kanji, including the order of strokes, has an unprecedented and remarkable effect in terms of prompt response, judgment of learning results, and improvement of learning motivation.
