Description

  The present invention relates to an electronic dictionary device capable of searching for a character string or a kanji word including kanji in response to misreading of kanji.

  An electronic dictionary is a device that searches and displays a physical storage medium such as a CD-ROM or a flash memory, a dictionary stored on a network, and the like using a PC terminal or a portable device. There are various types of electronic dictionaries. For example, a dedicated device type of a dictionary dedicated machine, an online type via the Internet, an application (application) type that installs dictionary browsing software on a general-purpose device such as dictionary software, an electronic book terminal There is known an electronic book terminal attached type of the attached function.

  As shown in FIG. 2, regardless of the type of conventional electronic dictionary, an input key unit 1 that accepts character input, a registered word data storage unit 2 that stores the meaning of words as character data, and an input Based on the search character string input from the key unit 1, the call data search unit 3 that calls the registered word from the registered word data storage unit 2, and the registered word searched through the call data search unit 3 are displayed to the display monitor unit 5. And a display drive unit 4 for outputting the output.

  Japanese is written with characters including Kanji. For this reason, when using an electronic dictionary, a reading of a character string to be searched is input via the input key unit 1. The search target character string is not limited to kanji strings such as place names, names of people, terms, and idioms, but also includes kanji / hiragana mixed words.

  Conventionally, electronic dictionaries have registered a large number of kanji / hiragana mixed words in addition to personal names, place names, terms, idioms, etc. in the registered word data storage unit 2 according to verb usage, etc. It has been devised to be able to respond carefully to search requests. When there is data hit by the search, the search result is displayed on the display monitor unit 5 through the display driving unit 4 in an appropriate format such as a list display format.

  Conventional proposals relating to electronic dictionaries include Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2.

JP 2002-328948 A JP2011-113395A

The problem is that search results are not displayed when you read a Chinese character by mistake.
In Japanese where kanji is mixed, there is a fact that not everyone is reading correctly, but conventional electronic dictionary devices do not have the corresponding registration data even if a misreading (reading mistake) search input is performed. As a result, the search results are not displayed.

  Although the search result may not be displayed due to a simple typing error (input typing error), if the search result is not displayed due to a reading error (misreading), the user is confused.

  This is because if the search results are not displayed, you may feel that your reading is wrong, but you may not know how to read it.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to display a search result of a desired word even when a user inputs a search based on an erroneous reading.

  In order to achieve the above object, an electronic dictionary device according to the present invention includes an input key unit that receives input of characters (characters, numbers, etc.), a registered word data storage unit that stores the meaning of words as character data, and the input Based on the search character string input from the key part, the call data search part for calling the registered word from the registered word data storage part, and the registered word searched via the call data search part are output to the display monitor part. Provided with a technical premise of an electronic dictionary device provided with a display drive unit, a misreading data storage unit is provided, and the misreading data storage unit is capable of searching for misreading kanji or kanji words based on misreading And the data stored in the registered word data storage unit together with the stored data in the registered word data storage unit, When the corresponding storage data is detected by the search through the output data search unit, the detected storage data is output to the display drive unit through a color display command unit which can be set to any color display (Claim 1).

  In the misreading data storage section, misunderstood Kanji-mixed words, terms, idioms, etc. are stored together with incorrect readings in advance, so even if the input reading at the time of searching is incorrect, if the search hits As a result of the search, an appropriate display method, for example, a list of search candidate words can be displayed on the display monitor unit.

  If the reading is incorrect, that is, the word (extracted data) extracted from the misreading data storage unit is sent to the display drive unit via the color display command unit and sent to the display monitor unit via the display drive unit. Since characters are displayed in an appropriate color (for example, red), the user can immediately notice that his / her reading is wrong.

  The misread words to be detected may be displayed together with candidate words using other dictionary data (one or a plurality of dictionary data stored in the registered word data storage unit) via the misreading data storage unit. Simply, a message indicating misreading and a correct reading may be displayed. In any case, the display at the time of misreading is displayed with an appropriate color, that is, a color different from other normal display colors (for example, black).

  The misreading data storage unit may be provided in the registered word data storage unit (claim 2).

  If a misreading data storage unit is arranged in advance in the registered word data storage unit that stores one or a plurality of dictionary data, the correct reading is possible even if the reading is incorrect during the search through the input key unit. You can display a list of search results based on. However, the point where the input reading is wrong is displayed in color on the display monitor unit by the color display function (color display command unit and display drive unit).

  The misread data storage unit may be arranged in a search area that can be searched via the call data search unit via an external memory or the Internet line.

  This is provided by adding a misreading data storage unit to the electronic dictionary device via an external memory or the Internet line. For example, a misreading data storage unit is provided in an appropriate searchable area of the electronic dictionary device by downloading and saving / executing misreading data in an appropriate data format through an external memory such as a micro SD card. I can do it.

  Depending on how the search conditions of the electronic dictionary device are set, for example, a so-called skewered search is used to display a list together with candidate words of other dictionary data (one or a plurality of dictionary data stored in the registered word data storage unit). It is also possible to add a message indicating misreading and a function for displaying correct reading.

  According to the electronic dictionary device of the present invention, it is possible to display a search result of a desired word even when a search is input based on an erroneous reading.

It is a block diagram which illustrates the electronic dictionary device concerning an embodiment. It is a block diagram which illustrates the conventional electronic dictionary apparatus.

  FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of an electronic dictionary device according to the present invention.

  This electronic dictionary device is input from the input key unit 1 that receives character input, the registered word data storage unit 2 that stores the meaning of words as character data, and the input key unit 1, for example. Based on the retrieved character string, the call data search unit 3 that calls the registered word from the registered word data storage unit 2, and the display drive that outputs the registered word searched through the call data search unit 3 to the display monitor unit 5 Part 4. A portion (M) indicated by a broken line is an electronic dictionary body.

  In addition, a misreading data storage unit 10 is provided. This misread data storage unit 10 stores kanji or kanji words that are easily misread so that they can be searched on the basis of misreading, and together with the stored data of the registered word data storage unit 2, call data search This is a search target via the unit 3.

  When the corresponding storage data is detected by the search via the call data search unit 3, the display drive unit 4 is connected via the color display command unit 20 that can set the detected storage data to a color display of an arbitrary color. Output to.

  Hereinafter, each part will be described.

  The input key unit 1 is a push-type operation switch for inputting characters, that is, letters, numbers, and symbols. The character key is often an input key for the English alphabet. There are models that display characters converted to hiragana or katakana via the conversion key arranged in the input key section after entering the character string. Words (words and the like) registered in the registered word data storage unit 2 are extracted through the data search unit 3, and search results are displayed in a list on the display monitor unit 5 through the display drive unit 4. The input key unit 1 can also select other appropriate input formats such as hiragana input by mode switching.

  The registered word data storage unit 2 stores at least one Japanese dictionary data. A plurality of Japanese dictionary data may be stored.

  In the case where a plurality of Japanese dictionary data are stored, it is desirable to be able to set selectable conditions so that the dictionaries can be selected and used individually. When there are a plurality of stored Japanese dictionary data, it is possible to search all selected dictionaries (may be selected so that all dictionaries can be used), or to perform a so-called skewered search. preferable. However, as a device capability, when it takes time to search for skewers, it is sufficient to search only a specific dictionary designated by the user.

  The call data search unit 3 searches the search target dictionary set by the user for a character string input via the input key unit 1. The selection of the target dictionary to be searched by the call data search unit 3 is performed by, for example, operating a menu item of a mode switching function (not shown) displayed on the display monitor unit 5 by operating an arrow key of the input key unit 1 or the like. You can choose. These functions are well-known techniques that are also used in conventional electronic dictionary devices.

  The display driving unit 4 has a function of a list display unit 4-1 that displays words extracted from one or a plurality of registered word data storage units 2 on the display monitor unit 5 in a list display format. When one of the items displayed in the list on the display monitor unit 5 is selected via the input key unit 1, the content data of the selected item is registered as a registered word via the item selection unit 4-2. It has a function of a content display unit 4-3 that reads out from the data storage unit 2 and displays it on the display monitor unit 5. These functions are also used in conventional electronic dictionary devices and are known techniques.

  The misreading data storage unit 10 retrieves and extracts kanji mixed words (for example, verbs, nouns, idioms, etc.) via the call data search unit 3 as with the data of the registered word data storage unit 2, and displays the list display unit 4. It is desirable to use a data storage method that is displayed on the display monitor unit 5 together with search candidate words in other dictionaries via -1.

  The words stored in the misread data storage unit 10 are easily misread. For example, in terms of nouns, they are monthly poles, gradual etc.

  The monthly pole reads “Tsukimeme”, but even if you accidentally enter “Tsukumeme”, it is displayed on the display monitor unit 5 along with the search candidate words of other dictionaries via the list display unit 4-1, in the normal use mode. Describe the stored data in the format to be used. Note that the misreading data storage unit 10 may be prohibited from being used by a mode selection switching operation.

  In addition, it is desirable to read progressively as “zenji”, but even if “zanji” is entered, it is desirable to display the kanji notation gradually and the correct reading “zenji” as list display items. This is the same for all words. Even if the input is based on incorrect reading, the kanji notation and correct reading (hiragana or katakana notation) of the word that you may be searching for are extracted from other dictionaries. It is desirable to display together.

  Further, the data extracted by the misreading data storage unit 10 is sent to the display driving unit 4 (list display unit 4-1) through the color display command unit 20, and arbitrary color characters (numeric characters) are sent to the display monitor unit 5. Display). This is for the user to know that the input is based on misreading.

  For example, when the character data extracted by the registered word data storage unit 2 is displayed on the monitor in black, the character data extracted by the misread data storage unit 10 is displayed in a list in red, for example.

  More specifically, for example, when the user inputs “zanji”, when the misreading data storage unit 10 displays a list of “temporary” and “gradual” along with readings and performs a skewer search. In other dictionaries, “temporary” is displayed together with readings.

  In this case, among words (character data) extracted from the misread data storage unit 10, for example, only words that may be misread, that is, “gradual” are displayed in color. This is because even for words (character data) extracted from the misreading data storage unit 10, “temporary” is correct reading as input by the user, so it is not necessary to display in color. However, all the words (character data) extracted from the misreading data storage unit 10 may be displayed in color according to the usage environment setting or the like. Even in such a case, it is desirable that the words extracted from the registered word data storage unit 2 containing a general Japanese language dictionary be displayed in a normal display color, for example, a black color.

  The item selection unit 4-2 selects a desired word from the words displayed in the list on the display monitor unit 5 at the initial search stage (for example, cursor selection) via the input key unit 1. Is displayed on the display monitor unit 5 via the registered word data storage unit 2 and / or the misreading data storage unit 10 and the content display unit 4-3. The item selection unit 4-2 displays the meaning (meaning) of the word based on the dictionary and does not notify the user that it is misread. The display color of the meaning displayed on the part 5 may be a normal color, for example, black. However, the meaning data may be sent to the display drive unit 4 via the color display command unit 20 and displayed in color by the user's setting.

  Therefore, according to such an electronic dictionary device, even when a search input is made based on an erroneous reading, a word whose meaning is to be examined is displayed as a list of search candidates, so that a quick search process is possible. Become.

  Further, a search input is performed based on an incorrect reading, and the words extracted from the misreading data storage unit 10 are displayed in a color different from the normal display color. I can understand that quickly.

  Therefore, if the electronic dictionary device according to the present invention is used, the ability to read Japanese correctly, such as kanji mixed words, words, and idioms, will naturally be acquired. For students in the curriculum, it can be used simply as a teaching material to learn the correct reading of kanji.

  Although the misreading data storage unit 10 is desirably provided in the registered word data storage unit 2 from the beginning, the electronic dictionary body M can be downloaded by downloading via an appropriate external memory such as an SD card memory or a CD-ROM, or the Internet line. It is possible to upgrade the installed contents.

  If new loading / upgrading via an external memory or the Internet line is possible, correct reading can be shown quickly in response to misreading influenced by buzzwords.

  The data stored in the misreading data storage unit 10 according to the present invention is not limited to nouns and idioms, but also includes kanji mixed verbs that are easy to misread. For example, it is correct to read “Rarize” in the “Rarify” part of “Vorse the voice”, but recently, more and more people read “Rarize”. Therefore, it is assumed that there are many users who input “arrage” when searching, but both “rareru” and “arrage” are displayed as a list for reading the search results. By displaying “Aragaru” in a color different from the normal display color, it is indicated that “Aragaru” of the normal display color is correct and “Aragaru” is misread.

  The character information data stored in the misreading data storage unit 10 is at least kanji (verb, noun, idiom, etc.), its correct reading, and its incorrect reading (not limited to one type). The meaning (meaning content) of the kanji may be stored in the misreading data storage unit 10 in advance, but the meaning is written in other dictionaries, so it is not always necessary to repeat the description. An accurate reading that can be estimated based on an erroneous reading may be linked to the registered word data storage unit 2, and the meaning of the search desired may be extracted from the registered word data storage unit 2 and displayed.

  For example, when checking the meaning of the word “compliance”, if “Sonshu” is entered, “Sonshu” (incorrect reading; color display) stored in the misreading data storage unit 10 → “Junshu” If the cursor is used to select one item in the list that is displayed in color based on the data “correct reading”, the data in the registered word data storage unit 2 is read based on the correct reading “Junshu” , Kanji, reading (correct reading), meaning of meaning, etc. are displayed on the display monitor unit 5.
