  Next, the operation of the electronic dictionary device with a handwriting input function 10 having the above configuration will be described.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the stroke order display process of the first embodiment accompanying the dictionary search of the electronic dictionary device 10.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an operation display state (part 1) associated with the stroke order display process of the first embodiment of the electronic dictionary device 10.

  For example, by operating the dictionary specifying key 14b1 to specify a desired dictionary by a normal dictionary search operation, the search character string “Yamakaji” is input by the character input key 14a to search for the headword, and the desired headword “ In the state where the headword content display screen G (see FIG. 4A) describing the explanatory information corresponding to “Yamakaji [wildfire]” is displayed (step S1), the headline of the headword content display screen G is displayed. If it is determined that the jump mode key 14d has been operated in order to check the stroke order of the word “wildfire” (step S2 (YES)), first the first character of the headword content display screen G (in this case) Is identified and displayed as a jump search target character by the reverse cursor C (step S3).

  Here, if it is determined that the cursor key “→” 14f has been operated to move the reverse cursor C to the character string “wildfire” of the entry word for which the stroke order is to be checked (step S4 → S5 (YES)). ), The position of the character identified and displayed by the reverse cursor C is moved and displayed in the direction of the cursor operation each time (step S6), and as shown in FIG. "Mountain" is identified and displayed by the reverse cursor C.

  If it is determined that the enter key 14c has been operated to execute a stroke order search for the headword character string “Sanfire” designated and displayed by the reverse cursor C (step S4 (YES)), the reverse cursor C identifies it. It is determined whether or not the displayed character is a Chinese character (step S7).

  If it is determined that the character identified and displayed by the reverse cursor C is a Chinese character (step S7 (YES)), as shown in FIG. 4B, from the stroke order dictionary 22c and the multiple dictionary DB 22b. A jump destination dictionary window W listing each dictionary name is displayed, and the dictionary name “[A] stroke order” of the stroke order dictionary 22c arranged at the top is identified and displayed by the reverse cursor C (step S10).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S7 that the character identified and displayed by the reversing cursor C is not a kanji character (step S7 (NO)), each dictionary name in the plural dictionary DB 22b not including the stroke order dictionary 22c is selected. The list of jump destination dictionary windows W is displayed, and the dictionary names arranged at the top are identified and displayed by the reverse cursor C (step S8).

  In this case, a desired jump destination dictionary is selected from the jump destination dictionary window W, and a normal jump search process is performed (step S9).

  If it is determined in step S10 that the enter key 14c has been operated in a state where the uppermost dictionary name “[A] stroke order” in the jump destination dictionary window W is identified and displayed by the reverse cursor C (step S11 (YES) )), It is determined whether the character following the kanji character identified and displayed by the reverse cursor C on the headword content display screen G is also a kanji (step S12).

  In the headword content display screen G shown in FIG. 4A, when it is determined that the character “fire” following the character “mountain” identified and displayed by the reverse cursor C is also a Chinese character (step S12). (YES)), as shown in FIG. 4C, the stroke order images of the characters “mountain”, “fire”, and “thing” that are continuous as kanji characters from the character “mountain” displayed in the reverse identification are It is read from the stroke order dictionary 22c determined as the jump destination dictionary, and displayed as a list as the stroke order display screen H (step S14).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S12 that the character following the kanji character identified and displayed by the reverse cursor C on the entry word content display screen G is not a kanji (step S12 (NO)), A stroke order image of only one Kanji character that is reversely identified and displayed is read from the stroke order dictionary 22c determined as the jump destination dictionary and displayed as a stroke order display screen H (step S13).

  In step S10, the uppermost dictionary name “[A] stroke order” in the jump destination dictionary window W is identified and displayed by the reverse cursor C, and in step S11, the enter key 14c is not operated. For example, when the cursor key “↓” 14f is operated and the reverse cursor C is moved and displayed at the position of another dictionary name (step S11 (NO)), and the determination key 14c is operated after that, it is determined by this. A normal jump dictionary search using the character string identified and displayed by the reverse cursor C on the headword content display screen G by the jump destination dictionary is performed (step S22).

  Therefore, according to the stroke order display processing (steps S1 to S14) of the first embodiment associated with the dictionary search of the electronic dictionary device 10 having the above-described configuration, the stroke order is displayed on the headword content display screen G searched and displayed according to the normal dictionary search. If there is a kanji you want to know, move the reverse cursor C to the desired kanji, display the jump destination dictionary window W with the stroke order dictionary at the top using the jump mode key 14d, and operate the enter key 14c. Since the stroke order image of each of the consecutive characters with the desired kanji as the leading kanji is retrieved and displayed as the stroke order display screen H, the kanji character string consisting of a plurality of kanji characters displayed on the headword content display screen G However, it is not necessary to display the stroke order by the content search operation for each single kanji character using the Chinese-Japanese dictionary like a conventional electronic dictionary device. Easily and quickly, it is possible to investigate a string stroke order of each character consisting of a plurality Chinese characters, such as the entry word.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an operation display state (part 2) associated with the stroke order display process of the first embodiment of the electronic dictionary device 10.

  In the step S1, as shown in FIG. 5A, in the state where the headword content display screen G corresponding to the headword “Yamakaji [wildfire]” desired by the user is displayed, the headword content display screen If it is determined that the stroke order key 14e has been operated to check the stroke order of an arbitrary Kanji character in G (step S15 (YES)), whether or not a Kanji character exists for the display character in the entry word content display screen G. Is determined (step S16).

  Here, when it is determined that there is a Chinese character for the display character in the headword content display screen G (see FIG. 5A) (step S16 (YES)), as shown in FIG. 5B. The first Chinese character “mountain” existing in the headword content display screen G is identified and displayed by the reverse cursor C, and the stroke order image of the Chinese character “mountain” is read from the stroke order dictionary 22c, and the stroke order display screen H is displayed in parallel with the headword content display screen G (step S17).

  As described above, when it is determined that the cursor key 14f is operated in a state in which the headword content display screen G and the stroke order display screen H are displayed in parallel (step S18 (YES)), the display is currently reversed. It is determined whether or not a kanji character exists in the character string in the direction designated by the cursor key 14f from the position of the character identified and displayed by the cursor C (step S19).

  Then, in the headword content display screen G in which the reverse cursor C shown in FIG. 5B is displayed at the position of “mountain”, the cursor operation “→” 14f is operated. If it is determined that the kanji character “Tue” exists in the “→” direction (step S19 (YES)), as shown in FIG. 5C, the latest cursor operation “→” in the direction is performed. The Chinese character “fire” is identified and displayed by the reverse cursor C, and the stroke order image of the Chinese character “fire” is read from the stroke order dictionary 22c and displayed as the stroke order display screen H in parallel with the headword content display screen G. (Step S20).

  Thereafter, when the character identification display position by the reverse cursor C is moved by operating the cursor key 14f in the same manner as described above, the stroke order image is read out in the same manner as described above for the nearest Chinese character existing in the moving direction of the reverse cursor C. The stroke order display screen H is displayed (steps S18 to S20).

  On the other hand, in step S16, when it is determined that no kanji is present in the displayed headword content display screen G (step S16 (NO)), the character to be subjected to the stroke order search is displayed. A message “Not corresponding candidate does not exist.” Is displayed on the display unit 17 to notify the user that it does not exist (step S21).

  Therefore, according to the stroke order display processing (steps S1, S15 to S21) of the first embodiment accompanying the dictionary search of the electronic dictionary device 10 having the above-described configuration, in the headword content display screen G that is searched and displayed according to the normal dictionary search, If the stroke order key 14e is operated, then the desired kanji for which the stroke order is to be checked is selected in the entry word content display screen G, and the reverse cursor C is moved and displayed at that position. Since the displayed stroke order image of the kanji is displayed together with the headword content display screen G as the stroke order display screen H, the cursor is placed on the user's arbitrary kanji in the headword content display screen G that is normally searched for a dictionary. By simply operating the key 14f, the stroke order can be checked very easily, quickly and directly.

  In the first embodiment, not only the kanji identified and displayed by the reversing cursor C on the entry word content display screen G associated with the normal dictionary search, but also the kanji of each character string continuous as a kanji from the highlighted kanji. The stroke order image is easily searched and displayed.

  In a second embodiment described below, when a handwritten character is recognized as a character string to be searched (searched character string), whether or not the handwritten stroke order is correct for each search character is determined and recorded. . Then, when searching for a headword corresponding to the search character string and displaying the headword content display screen G, an error in the stroke order of the handwritten character that has input the search character string that is the search source of the headword. If it has been recorded, a writing order display screen H indicating the correct stroke order is displayed in parallel with the headword content display screen G.

(Second Embodiment)
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the stroke order display process of the second embodiment accompanying the dictionary search of the electronic dictionary device 10.

  In the entry word search waiting state in the entry word search mode (step A1 (YES)), when handwritten characters are pen-input to the pen input unit 16 (step A2 (YES)), the pen input handwritten Characters are recognized and a list of input candidate characters is displayed on the pen input unit 16 (step A3).

  When a desired candidate character corresponding to the handwritten character is selected and specified by pen touch on the input candidate character list display screen (step A4 (YES)), the designated candidate character is stored in the RAM 26. It is displayed in the search character input area stored in the search character string memory 26c and displayed on the display unit 17 (step A5).

  When inputting a search character by handwriting input, the stroke order of the user at the time of handwriting input is recognized, and the user stroke order data at the time of handwriting input recognized at the stroke order is stored in the search character string memory 26c. Stored in association with characters.

  Then, it is determined whether or not the search character that is recognized and selected as a candidate by this handwritten input and stored in the search character string memory 26c is a kanji character. If it is determined that the search character is a kanji character, the stroke order of the search character is determined. It is determined whether the normal stroke order retrieved from the dictionary 22c is different from the user's stroke order (error) or not (correct) (step A6).

  If it is determined that the user's stroke order at the time of handwriting input corresponding to the input search character is incorrect (step A6 (YES)), the search character stored in the search character string memory 26c. The stroke order display flag is set in association with (step A7).

  Thereafter, the search character input process by handwritten character input is repeated as described above, and a search character string desired by the user is input and stored (steps A2 to A8).

  If it is determined that the determination key 14c has been operated on the assumption that a desired search character string has been input and displayed (step A8 (YES)), a headword corresponding to the search character string is searched from the user-specified dictionary DB 22b. (Step A9), it is determined whether or not the corresponding headword has been searched (Step A10).

  Here, if it is determined that the entry word corresponding to the input search character string has been searched from the dictionary DB 22b (step A10 (YES)), the entry word list display screen M that lists the searched entry words. Is displayed on the display unit 17 (step A11).

  In this headword list display screen M, when a desired headword is selected and designated in accordance with the user operation of the cursor key 14f (step A12 (YES)), the explanation information corresponding to the designated headword is the above-mentioned description information. A headword content display screen G is read out from the dictionary DB 22b and displayed on the display unit 17, for example, as shown in FIG. At this time, for the search character string stored in the search character string memory 26c, which is the search source of the headword displayed on the headword content display screen G, the stroke order display flag is set for any of the search characters. In this case, a stroke order image corresponding to the flag-set search character is retrieved from the stroke order dictionary 22c, and is displayed together with the entry word content display screen G as a stroke order display screen H as shown in FIG. (Step A13).

  For example, after handwriting input “Yamafire”, character recognition, input and display as a search character string (steps A2 to A8), a desired headword “Yama-kaji [from a list of headwords corresponding to the search character string” When "fire"] is selected (steps A9 to A12), if there is an error in the stroke order of the user when hand-inputting "mountain" of the headword "wildfire" as the search character, As shown in FIG. 5B, along with the headword content display screen G corresponding to the selected headword “Yama-kaji [wildfire]”, the normality of “mountain” in which the handwritten stroke order was incorrect The stroke order display screen H showing the stroke order is displayed in parallel. Similarly, if there is an error in the stroke order of the user when “fire” of the headword “wildfire” is input by handwriting as the search character, it is selected as shown in FIG. In addition to the headword content display screen G corresponding to the headword “Yama-kaji [wildfire]”, the stroke order display screen H indicating the normal stroke order of “fire” in which the handwritten stroke order was incorrect is displayed in parallel. Will come to be.

  Therefore, according to the stroke order display process of the second embodiment accompanying the dictionary search of the electronic dictionary device 10 having the above-described configuration, the character input by handwriting input by the pen input unit 16 is recognized and recognized in the entry word search mode. When a candidate is selected and stored in the search character string memory 26c as a search target character and displayed in the search character input area, the stroke order at the time of the handwriting input is recognized, and the search character in the search character string memory 26c is used as user stroke order data. Store in association with each other. Then, the headword corresponding to the input search character string is searched from the dictionary DB 22b, and the headword content display screen G on which the explanation information is displayed is displayed. If the user stroke order data associated with is different from the normal stroke order of the search character searched from the stroke order dictionary 22c, the stroke order display screen H indicating the regular stroke order is also displayed together, Informs the user of a stroke order error during handwriting input.

  Thereby, it is possible to know the error in the stroke order of the search characters input by handwriting along with the dictionary search very easily without requiring any special operation.
