Description

The present invention relates to an electronic kanji dictionary that includes a kana kanji dictionary table that stores kanji and their readings in the order of Japanese syllabary and stores the kanji for reading.

<Prior Art> Conventionally, as this kind of electronic kanji dictionary, a kana kanji dictionary table that stores kana characters for entering kana words and kanji and their readings in the order of Japanese syllabary ROM
It is known that the CPU searches the Chinese character corresponding to the inputted kana word in the ROM by the CPU and sequentially displays the searched Chinese character on the liquid crystal display or the like by instructing the next candidate key or the like.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> Generally, there are many confusing homonyms in Kanji,
It is not always easy to properly use these homonyms in sentences without error. For example, in the above conventional electronic kanji dictionary, when the kanji "symmetric", "target", and "contrast" are searched and displayed corresponding to the kana word input "taisho", their meanings and usages are different from each other. However, he made a mistake and made a mistake "Survey" In addition, even a word processor having the function of the electronic Kanji dictionary may cause incorrect printing due to the same error.

This is because the conventional electronic kanji dictionary is just a search and display of kanji corresponding to kana word input,
This is due to the fact that the operator is entirely responsible for selecting the searched kanji. That is, the conventional electronic kanji dictionary does not display an example in the text of the kanji that is a clue as to which kanji should be selected, so the operator must check the national language dictionary or the example / term dictionary each time. However, there is a disadvantage that it is inconvenient to use and the value of use as a dictionary is diminished.

Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to output and display the example data of retrieved Kanji, thereby making it possible to easily and error-freely select a plurality of retrieved Kanji, and to effectively utilize the memory capacity. It is to provide an electronic kanji dictionary that significantly increases the utility value as a kanji dictionary.

<Means for Solving Problems> In order to achieve the above object, the electronic kanji dictionary of the present invention is
An instruction data memory that stores example data related to a single kanji or kanji compound word as a special code shorter than the regular kanji code for the part corresponding to that single kanji character or kanji compound word, and output of the retrieved kanji example data An example output instructing means for doing this and an example data corresponding to a Chinese character are retrieved from the example data memory by an output instruction via the example output instructing means, and the special code in the retrieved example data is omitted code or It is characterized in that it is provided with arithmetic processing means for replacing the regular code of kanji and outputting this example data to the display means.

<Operation> The electronic Kanji dictionary searches the Kana-Kanji dictionary table for a Kanji corresponding to the Kana word input from the input unit, and outputs the searched Kanji to the display unit. In the example data memory of the electronic kanji dictionary, example data regarding a single kanji or kanji compound word is stored in a form in which a part corresponding to the kanji or kanji compound word is made into a special code shorter than a regular kanji code. When the operator looks at the kanji output on the display means and gives an output instruction through the example output means, the arithmetic processing means retrieves the example data corresponding to the kanji from the example data memory and retrieves the example data. The special code in the example data is replaced with the abbreviated code or the kanji regular code, and the example data is output to the display means. The operator can use the retrieved Kanji as they are,
Alternatively, referring to the example sentence represented by the abbreviation code, an appropriate kanji character is selected from the searched kanji characters.

<Examples> Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to illustrated examples.

FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram showing an embodiment of an electronic Kanji dictionary of the present invention, wherein 1 is a CPU as an arithmetic processing means for controlling each block and performing data processing including retrieval of example data described later, 2 is a key input part for inputting kana words and instructing output of example data of kanji. 3
Is a ROM for storing a kana-kanji dictionary table that stores kanji and their readings in the order of Japanese syllabary and an example table for single kanji and kanji idioms. 4 is for kana data input from the key input unit 2 and this kana data. Based on the above C
RAM as a work memory for storing the kanji data retrieved and processed by the PU 1 by the PU 1, 5 as an LCD (liquid crystal display) as a display means for displaying the retrieved and processed kanji data and example data, and 6 as a display The above LC has a data buffer of
It is an LCD driver that drives D5.

As shown in the external view of FIG. 2, the key input unit 2 has a Japanese syllabary key 11 for inputting hiragana, an entry word key 12 for searching an entry word, and a kanji character corresponding to the searched entry word. An example key 13 as an example output instruction means for displaying an example, and an enter key 14 for turning the power on and off.
And an off key 15. A display window 16 of the LCD 5 is provided above the key input unit 2.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the internal structure of the ROM 3. R
The OM3 includes a kana-kanji dictionary data unit 21, a headword index table 22, an example data memory unit 23,
An example index table 24 and a character pattern memory section 25 for storing patterns of hiragana and kanji represented by JIS code. The kana-kanji dictionary data unit 21 reads headwords (RC1 ₁ , RC1 ₂ , ...
/ RC2 ₁ , ... / RCN ₁ , ...) and the kanji corresponding to the reading (KJ1 ₁ h, KJ1 ₁ l; KJ1 ₂ h, KJ1 ₂ l; ...... /
_{KJ2 1 h, KJ2 1 l;} ...... / KJN 1 h, KJN 1 l; ......)
Are stored in the order of Japanese syllabary. Here, RC means an entry word, each consisting of a 1-byte JIS Hiragana code, and K
J means the corresponding kanji, and each is 2 bytes (KJh, KJ
It consists of the JIS Kanji code of l). For example, the first RC
1 ₁ in the "A", KJ1 ₁ h ,, KJ1 ₁ l corresponding to this is "A", the next KJ1 ₂ h, KJ1 ₂ l is in as "Ali", the second of RC1 _2, RC1 ₃ is "Ai", the corresponding KJ1 ₃ h, KJ1 ₃ l is "sorrow", the next KJ1 ₄ h, KJ
1 ₄ l is like “love”. As described above, each block delimited by / becomes one unit at the time of search, and the start address of each block is 2 bytes M as shown on the left side of the frame.
_{Ad 1 h, l; MAd 2} h, l; ...; MAdnh, denoted l. The entry word index table 22 has the start address (MAd _{1) of} each block of the Kana-Kanji dictionary data section 21.
h, l ...) are sequentially stored. On the other hand, the example data memory 23 stores the example data of a single kanji or kanji compound word stored in the kana-kanji dictionary data part 21 as "female is negative" corresponding to "target" (YDK ₁ h, YDK1l,…)
Is stored as. Here, YD means example data. In this case, the Chinese character “target” originally represented by a 2-byte × 2 character, that is, a 4-byte regular JIS code is
In order to compress the data and effectively utilize the memory, it is stored as a 1-byte special code (FF _H ). The head address of the example data corresponding to each Chinese character is represented as YAd ₁ h, l, ... As shown on the left side of the frame, and these head addresses are sequentially stored in the example index table 24.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the internal structure of the RAM 4. R
AM4 includes a buffer 31 that stores the hiragana data input from syllabary keys 11 of the key input section 2 JIS Hiragana code _{(iC 1, iC 2, ...} ) in, CPU 1 is the kana-kanji dictionary ROM3 based on the Hiragana data Kanji or kana mixed kanji (KJK ₁ h, KJK ₁ l,
...) and the example data (YDK) retrieved from the example data memory 23 of the ROM 3 by the CPU 1.
₁ h, YDK ₁ l, ..., (FF _H ), ... As it is, and the above-mentioned example data (YDK ₁ h, ..., Processed by the CPU 1 in response to an instruction from a display mode switch (not shown). KJK ₁ h to KJK ₂ l, ..., And a buffer 34 for storing the contents of various address pointers (ADP
₁ h ...) Or word No. (WORD NOh, ...) And a register 36 for storing constants and variables (REG ₁ , ...) Required for creating a program. Fifth
The figure is a flow chart showing the flow of processing by the CPU 1. The CPU 1 executes the buffer 3 in step S1.
The example data stored in 3 is read as 1 byte, for example YDK ₁ h, and in step S2, it is determined whether or not it is the end code. If it is not the end code, the process proceeds to step S3 and the special code " It is determined whether or not it is FF _H ″. If it is determined that the code is not the special code, the process proceeds to step S7, the read 1-byte example data is written in the buffer 34 as it is, and the process returns to step S1.
Go to 4. In step S4, to replace the code of Chinese characters retrieved the special code, reads the first byte KJK ₁ h of the graphic data from the buffer 32.
Next, in step S5, it is determined whether or not the read 1 byte is an end code indicating the end of the Chinese character data. If it is not the end code, the process proceeds to step S6 to write the 1 byte into the buffer 34, and 1 byte KJ
The process returns to step S4 to read K ₁ l. On the other hand, if the code is the end code, the writing to the buffer 34 is ended, and the process returns to the original step S1. The processing operation described above is repeated, and if it is determined in step S2 that the example data is the last one, the processing process ends.

The operation of the electronic kanji dictionary having the above structure will be described below with reference to FIG.

Step S1 The operator turns on the power with the input key 14 of the key input unit 2, and then inputs "taisho" using the Japanese syllabary key 11.

At step S2, "Taisho" is displayed on the LCD ₅ , and at the same time, the JIS hiragana code (iC ₁ , iC ₂ , ... iCk) corresponding to each character of "taisho" is sequentially stored in the buffer 31 of the RAM 4. .

Steps S3 and S4 Next, when the operator presses the entry word key 12 in step S3, the CPU 1 causes the CPU 1 to execute step S4.
Then, the kana data corresponding to the kana data in the buffer 31 is searched from the kana kanji dictionary data section 21 of the ROM 3. That is, in the kana-kanji dictionary data section 21, the reading of the entry word (RCK ₁ RCK ₂ , ...) And the corresponding kanji (K
JK ₁ h, KJK ₁ l; KJK ₂ h, KJK ₂ l; ... are stored in the order of Japanese syllabary, and as an example, “taisho” (3
F _H , 24 _H , 37 _H , 67 _H , 26 _H ) and “target”
(4250 _H ; 3E5D _H ) are arranged in pairs according to the JIS code. Therefore, the CPU 1 checks which headword block in the Japanese syllabary to which "taisho" belongs and uses the headword index table 22 to determine the start address MAd kh, l of that block in the kana-kanji dictionary data section 21. Then, the corresponding kanji is searched from the above head address.

Steps S5, S6 If it is determined by the search that the reading and the Kanji match, the process proceeds to Step S6, where the Kanji data (KJK ₁ h, KJK ₁ l; KJK ₂ h, KJK) corresponding to the reading is read.
₂ l; ...) is stored in the buffer 32 of the RAM 4 and displayed on the LCD 5. At this time, there are multiple corresponding Kanji such as "Taisho", "Symmetry", ..., "Target", "Contrast", "Carpenter", etc. Since the Kanji data are also arranged in this order, first the Kanji of "Tasho" Is displayed.

Step 7 When the Chinese character of "general" is displayed on the LCD 5, the operator judges whether or not it is the desired Chinese character,
If it is not the desired Kanji, the entry word key 1 of the key input unit 2
Press 2 to display the next candidate kanji "Symmetric", ...

Steps S8 and S9 In this way, when the desired Chinese character “target” is displayed, the operator operates the key input unit 2 in step S8.
When the example key 13 is pressed, the process proceeds to step S9.
In step S9, the CPU 1 uses the example data corresponding to the "target" in the example index table 24 of the ROM 3 based on the word NO. Of the start data (YAdkh, YAdkl) of the example data, and a series of example data (YDK ₁ h, YDK ₁ l, YDK ₂ h, YDK ₂ ) from this start address YAdkh, l of the example data memory 23.
l, ...) Is read and written in the buffer 3 of the RAM 4. Then, the CPU 1 proceeds to step S12 when the display mode switch (not shown) instructs the omission display, and otherwise proceeds to step S10.

Steps S10 and S11 Since the abbreviated display is not instructed, the CPU 1 converts the Chinese character “target” represented by the special code FF _H in the example data written in the buffer 33 into the original JIS Chinese character code. Therefore, in step S10, the processing process described in FIG. 5 is performed,
Example data after processing (YDK ₁ h, ..., KJK ₁ h to KJK ₂
l, ...) Is written in the buffer 34 of the RAM 4. Then
In step S11, the ROM is referred to by referring to the buffer 34.
The character pattern stored in the character pattern memory 25 of No. 3 is expanded in the data buffer of the LCD driver 6, and is displayed on the LCD 5 as an unabbreviated example sentence as shown in FIG.

Step 12 Since the omission display is instructed, the CPU
1 is example data (YDK ₁ h, ..., FF _H , ...) Including the special code written in the buffer 33 in step S9.
The character pattern of the character pattern memory 25 is expanded in the data buffer of the LCD driver 6 based on
The CD5 is displayed as an example sentence including the abbreviation "-" as shown in FIG. 7 (a).

Through the above processing, the operator selects a desired kanji character among the kanji characters searched for in the kana input by the Japanese syllabary key 11 with the entry word key 12 and then presses the example key 13 to select the kanji character. You can instantly see the example sentences of
It is possible to know the correct usage of homonyms whose usages are confusing without searching a Japanese dictionary or the like. in this way,
The electronic Kanji dictionary of the present invention has a unique function as a dictionary and is very convenient to use, and has a remarkable effect which the conventional electronic Kanji dictionary does not have. In the above embodiment, the kanji in the example data is stored in the example data memory 23 as the 1-byte special code FF _H , so that the memory capacity can be effectively utilized and the display mode switch is provided to display the example data. The text can be displayed with or without abbreviations, which is convenient for use. In the above embodiment, the headword index table 22 for jumping to the address of the target headword block in the ROM 3 to start the search, and for immediately reading the example data in accordance with the searched Kanji word NO. Since the example index table 24 is provided, there is an advantage that the kanji corresponding to the kana word and its example can be searched and displayed quickly.

In the above embodiment, the example data can be displayed with or without omission by the display mode switch, but in the case of a simple electronic Kanji dictionary, only the example data with omission is displayed. You can also

<Effects of the Invention> As is apparent from the above description, the electronic Kanji dictionary of the present invention is provided with an example data memory that stores example data relating to a single Kanji character or a Kanji compound word, in which the Kanji portion is stored as a short special code. The example data of the kanji retrieved from the kana-kanji dictionary table according to the reading consisting of the inputted kana words is searched from the example data memory by the arithmetic processing means that has received the output instruction from the example output instruction means, Since the special code in the retrieved example data is replaced with the ellipsis code or the regular kanji code, the example data is output to the display means.
It is very convenient to use because it is possible to know the correct usage of homophones that are confusing in usage, without having to search a Japanese dictionary or the like, and to make effective use of the memory capacity. It has a remarkable effect not found in the expression kanji dictionary.
