Then, handle similarly with the jumping inspection rope of last time " miniature dictionary pattern ", the text type that is judged as described retrieval text strings " Conference " is a letter (step S37, S38 (being)), is stored in " the miniature dictionary of Britain and Japan " among the miniature dictionary database 22e and is designated as to jump and looks into target dictionary (step S39).

Then, look into " the miniature dictionary of the Britain and Japan " retrieval and the consistent entry in described retrieval text strings " Conference " the place ahead of target, read and the corresponding descriptive information of entry (step S41) that wherein starts from being appointed as described jumping.

At this moment, the show state (step S42 (denying)) that to be judged as described key frame 17 be not book/text data shows the descriptive information of reading (step S43) from described " the miniature dictionary of Britain and Japan " among the horizontal miniature dictionary window Wm that opens on the descriptive information display frame G in current demonstration.

Then, if push (touch) operation " returning/tabulate " key 14d (step S46 (being)) once more, then shown in Fig. 9 (F), miniature dictionary window Wm closes, and returns and be set at the show state of the corresponding descriptive information display frame G of original entry " エ one ペ Star Network [APEC] " under the state of jumping inspection rope pattern.

Then, if in described descriptive information display frame G, touch the next text strings " ASEAN " of wanting to jump the inspection rope, show that by instead specifying in vain h should retrieve text strings (step S14) so with a P.

Here, look under the situation that the target dictionary comes the retrieval text strings " ASEAN " of described designated demonstration h is retrieved wanting that with the detailed meaning content of last time of having jumped the inspection rope time identical dictionary is appointed as to jump, shown in Fig. 9 (G), if touch " dictionary last time " icon Bb (step S15 (being)), jumping inspection rope pattern so is set to " dictionary pattern last time " and is stored in to jump and look among the mode memory 22j, and, show that by highlighted the appointment H should " dictionary last time " icon Bb (step S16).

Then, differentiate the text type (letter) (step S17) of described retrieval text strings " ASEAN ", detect and be stored in the jumping of jumping the corresponding text type (letter) look among the dictionary storer 22i (with reference to Fig. 4) corresponding last time last time and look into target dictionary " Britain and Japan's dictionary " (step S18).Then, the jumping of this last time is looked into the jumping that target dictionary " Britain and Japan's dictionary " is set at this and look into target dictionary (step S19).

Then, be set to common dictionary search modes (step S20), judge whether it is change (step S21) from book/text browser pattern.

Then, if be judged as the change (step S21 (denying)) that is not from book/text browser pattern, then look into " Britain and Japan's dictionary " retrieval and the consistent entry in described retrieval text strings " ASEAN " the place ahead of target dictionary from being set at described this jumping, the entry that the guide look of this entry that retrieves is presented at key frame 17 is had a guide look of among the area L m (step S23).

At this moment, the entry " ASEAN " of the beginning that guide look shows among the described entry guide look area L m is specified by cursor Cu and is shown (step S24), the corresponding descriptive information of entry " ASEAN " that shows with this appointment is looked into from described jumping the target dictionary " Britain and Japan's dictionary " to be read, and preview is presented among the preview area Vp of key frame 17 (step S25).

Then, the move operation of cursor Cu is selected the retrieval entry (among Fig. 9 (G) only " ASEAN ") of expectation according to the user, if push (touch) operation " translation/decision " key 14c (KE) (step S26), then the detailed description information of reading from described " Britain and Japan's dictionary " accordingly with this entry of selecting " ASEAN " is shown as the descriptive information display frame G (step S27) that expansion forms in the whole image of key frame 17.

Like this, retrieval text strings about the expectation in the descriptive information display frame G that shows in the key frame 17, look into " dictionary last time " icon Bb of mode icon BJ by the jumping of selecting to show in this key frame 17 or the secondary picture 16, text type according to this retrieval text strings, the detailed description information of reading the entry consistent with this retrieval text strings the jumping inspection rope of last time is handled from the jumping inspection rope target dictionary that uses is shown as new descriptive information display frame G.Therefore, inferior in the situation of wanting to handle the detailed meanings content of similarly learning the statement in the demonstration with the jumping inspection rope of last time, can operability very well cosily jump and look into the dictionary retrieval.

After this, if push (touch) operation " returning/tabulate " key 14d (step S62 (being)) once more, then shown in Fig. 9 (H), turn back to and be set at the show state of the corresponding descriptive information display frame G of entry " エ エ one ペ Star Network [APEC] " of the script under the state of jumping inspection rope pattern.

Then, be stored in and jump the jumping inspection rope pattern " dictionary pattern last time " look among the mode memory 22j and be read out, show that by highlighted the appointment H looks into corresponding " dictionary last time " icon Bb (step S13) among the mode icon BJ in described jumping.

Then, if in descriptive information display frame G, touch the next text strings " APEC " of wanting to jump the inspection rope, then show that by instead specifying in vain h should retrieve text strings (step S14) with a P.

Here, look into the target dictionary as jumping wanting to select arbitrarily dictionary, described appointment is shown under the situation that the retrieval text strings " APEC " of h retrieves, shown in Figure 10 (I), if touch " dictionary selection " icon Bs (step S28 (being)), then jump inspection rope pattern and be set to " dictionary preference pattern ", be stored in to jump and look among the mode memory 22j, and, be somebody's turn to do " dictionary selection " icon Bs by highlighted designated demonstration H (step S29).

Then, differentiate the text type (letter) (step S30) of described retrieval text strings " APEC ", look into the table data (with reference to Fig. 3) of storing among the target dictionary table storer 22h according to jumping, read and the corresponding guide look of retrieving dictionary of the described text type that determines (letter), be presented at the jumping that on descriptive information display frame G, launches and look among the target dictionary guide look area L d (step S31).

At this moment, look into the dictionary that target dictionary " Britain and Japan's dictionary " is set to appointment, specify demonstration (step S32) by cursor Cu with being stored in the jumping of jumping corresponding text type (letter) the corresponding last time look among the dictionary storer 22i (with reference to Fig. 4) last time.

Look among the target dictionary guide look area L d in this jumping, shown in Figure 10 (J), operate moving cursor Cu according to the user, if select the jumping of expectation to look into target dictionary " [C] encyclopaedia " and push (touch) " translation/decision " key 14c (KE) (step S33), then jumped dictionary name of this selection " Block リ encyclopaedia " and last time the differentiation text type (letter) of looking into the described retrieval text strings " APEC " among the dictionary storer 22i (with reference to Fig. 4) and be logged (step S34) accordingly.

Then, be set to common dictionary search modes (step S20), judge whether it is change (step S21) from book/text browser pattern.

Then, if judgement is not the change (step S21 (denying)) from book/text browser pattern, then shown in Figure 10 (K), retrieval and the consistent entry in described retrieval text strings " APEC " the place ahead from look into " encyclopaedia " selected the target dictionary in described jumping, the entry that the guide look of this entry that retrieves is presented at key frame 17 is had a guide look of among the area L m (step S23).

At this moment, the entry " APEC " of the beginning that guide look shows among the described entry guide look area L m is by the designated demonstration of cursor Cu (step S24), the corresponding descriptive information of entry " APEC " that shows with this appointment is looked into target dictionary " encyclopaedia " and is read from described jumping, preview is presented among the preview area Vp of key frame 17 (step S25).

Then, the move operation of cursor Cu is selected the retrieval entry (only being " APEC ") of expectation according to the user in Figure 10 (K), if push (touch) operation " translation/decision " key 14c (KE) (step S26), then shown in Figure 10 (L), the detailed descriptive information of reading from described " encyclopaedia " accordingly with the entry " APEC " of this selection is shown as the descriptive information display frame G (step S27) that launches and form the whole image of key frame 17.

Like this, retrieval text strings about the expectation in the descriptive information display frame G that shows in the key frame 17, look into " dictionary selection " icon Bs of mode icon BJ by the jumping of selecting to show in this key frame 17 or the secondary picture 16, from the user according to looking into the dictionary that the guide look (Ld) of target dictionary selects with the corresponding jumping of the text type of this retrieval text strings, read the detailed description information of the entry consistent, be shown as new descriptive information display frame G with this retrieval text strings.Therefore, when the user wants from the dictionary retrieval of expectation and knows the detailed meaning content of statement the demonstration, can operability very well cosily jump and look into the dictionary retrieval.

After this, if push (touch) operation " jumping is looked into " key 14f (KJ) (step S9 (being)) once more, then being judged as is common dictionary search modes (step S10 (being)), jumping is looked among the touch icon area 17B and secondary picture 16 that mode icon BJ is presented at key frame 17, is set at the inspection rope pattern (step S11, S12) of jumping once more.

Then, be stored in and jump the jumping inspection rope pattern " dictionary preference pattern " look among the mode memory 22j and be read out, look among the mode icon BJ corresponding " dictionary selection " icon Bs by highlighted designated demonstration H (step S13) in described jumping.

Then, if touch the next text strings " foreign minister " of wanting to jump the inspection rope with a P in descriptive information display frame G, then the beginning literal " outward " of the retrieval text strings of this appointment is by anti-white designated demonstration h (step S14).

Here, when only wondering that described appointment shows the simple meaning content of retrieval text strings " foreign minister " of h, shown in Figure 11 (M), if touch " miniature dictionary " icon Bm (step S35 (being)), then jump inspection rope pattern and be set to " miniature dictionary pattern " and be stored in to jump and look among the mode memory 22j, should " miniature dictionary " icon Bm by highlighted designated demonstration H (step S36).

Then, differentiate the text type (Chinese character) (step S37) of described retrieval text strings " foreign minister ", be not letter (step S38 (denying)) if be judged as, " the miniature dictionary of national language " stored among the then miniature dictionary database 22e is designated as jumping and looks into target dictionary (step S40).

Then, look into " the miniature dictionary of national language " of target retrieval and the consistent entry in described retrieval text strings " foreign minister " the place ahead, read the corresponding descriptive information (step S41) of entry with wherein beginning from being designated as described jumping.

At this moment, judge whether described key frame 17 is based on the show state (step S42) of the book/text data of book/text browser pattern, if be judged as the show state (step S42 (denying)) that is not book/text data, the descriptive information of reading from described " the miniature dictionary of national language " is presented among the horizontal miniature dictionary window Wm that the descriptive information display frame G in the current demonstration launches (step S43) so.

Here, shown in Figure 11 (N), if touch " other candidate " button N (step S44 (being)) in the right-hand member demonstration of described miniature dictionary window Wm, then read from described " the miniature dictionary of national language " and the corresponding brief descriptive information of entry " Ga い outside " of the next candidate that retrieves of entry as one man of the place ahead in described step S41, rewriting is shown among the described miniature dictionary window Wm (step S45).

[looking into the dictionary retrieval] from the jumping that book/text browser pattern begins

If operation according to " menu " key among the dictionary assignment key 14b, select book/text browser function (step S51 (being)) by the user in the menu screen that in key frame 17, shows, then be stored as the various book data of book/ text data 22f, 22g or the guide look of text data and be displayed on (step S52) in the key frame 17.

In the guide look picture of this book/text data,, then be set to book/text browser pattern (step S54) if select the user to want book/text data (for example book data " world literature 1 ") (step S53) of reading.

Then, shown in Figure 12 (O), read the book data " world literature 1 " of described selection, be shown as the book/text browser picture Gv (step S55) that in the whole image of key frame 17, launches from storer 22.

In addition, with the corresponding processing of step S56 shown in the process flow diagram of Fig. 5, be the processing of appending in other embodiment described later, in this description will be omitted.

In the show state of the book data " world literature 1 " of described book/text browser picture Gv, finding dictionary and any text strings in these book data is retrieved and pushed (touch) operation " jumping is looked into " key 14f when (KJ) (step S9 (being)), judge whether it is common dictionary search modes (step S10) in order to jump.

At this, be set to book/text browser pattern owing to current, so be judged as the dictionary search modes (step S10 (denying)) that is not common, only in secondary picture 16, show to jump and look into mode icon BJ, be set at the inspection rope pattern (step S12) of jumping.

Then, read out in the jumping inspection rope pattern (" miniature dictionary pattern ") of storing among the mode memory 22j of looking into of jumping, look among the mode icon BJ corresponding " miniature dictionary " icon Bm by highlighted designated demonstration H (step S13) in described jumping.

Then, shown in Figure 12 (P),, should the retrieval text strings pass through anti-white designated demonstration h (step S14) so if in book/text browser picture Gv, touch the text strings " widow " of wanting to jump the inspection rope with a P.

At this, only wondering that described appointment shows under the situation of simple meaning content of retrieval text strings " widow " of h, because the user observes the designated demonstration of " miniature dictionary " the icon Bm H of secondary picture 16, can judge that to keep this jumping inspection rope pattern just passable, so directly push (touch) operation " translation/decision " key 14c (KE) (step S47 (being)).

So, read out in to jump and look into the jumping inspection rope pattern (step S48) of storing among the mode memory 22j, judge that current jumping inspection rope pattern is " miniature dictionary pattern " (step S49 (being)).

So the text type that is judged as described retrieval text strings " widow " is a letter (step S37, S38 (being)), " the miniature dictionary of Britain and Japan " stored in miniature dictionary database 22e is designated as to jump looks into target dictionary (step S39).

So, look into " the miniature dictionary of Britain and Japan " retrieval and the consistent entry of described retrieval text strings " widow " of target from being appointed as described jumping, read and the corresponding descriptive information of entry (step S41) of wherein beginning.

At this moment, the show state (step S42 (being)) that to be judged as described key frame 17 are book/text datas judges whether the direction that is provided with by acceleration transducer 26 detected apparatus main bodies is vertical (horizontal) (the step S57) that put.

Then, if being judged as the direction that is provided with of apparatus main body is not vertical putting but horizontal (step S57 (denying)), then keep with horizontal corresponding text display state (step S60), show the descriptive information of reading from " the miniature dictionary of Britain and Japan " (step S61) on the horizontal miniature dictionary window Wm that launches on the book in current demonstration/text browser picture Gv.

After this, shown in Figure 12 (Q), be replaced under the vertical situation of putting at apparatus main body, if the direction that is provided with that is judged as by acceleration transducer 26 detected apparatus main bodies is vertical put (step S42 → S57 (being)), then switch to and the vertical corresponding book/text browser picture Gvt (step S58) that puts, this vertical launch on putting with book/text browser picture Gvt vertical put with miniature dictionary window Wmt on the descriptive information (step S61) read from described " the miniature dictionary of Britain and Japan " of demonstration.

Like this, retrieval text strings about the expectation in the book/text browser picture Gv that on key frame 17, shows, look into " miniature dictionary " icon Bm of mode icon BJ by specifying in the jumping that shows in the secondary picture 16, from the dictionary of the simplification among miniature dictionary database 22e, stored, read the descriptive information of the entry consistent, be shown as miniature dictionary window Wm with this retrieval text strings.Therefore, the situation of the meaning content of the statement that uses in thinking to know simply the book data that showing in the reading or text data is inferior, can operability very well, cosily jumps and looks into the dictionary retrieval.

In addition, under this book/text browser pattern, in key frame 17, do not show, only in secondary picture 16, show because mode icon BJ is looked in described jumping, so just can use the viewing area of key frame 17 to show book/text browser picture Gv to greatest extent, can guarantee the demonstration amount of book/text data as much as possible.

After this, shown in Figure 13 (R), if return apparatus main body horizontal and push (touch) operation " returning/tabulate " key 14d (step S46 (being)), then described miniature dictionary window Wm (Wmt) closes, the show state of the corresponding book of original book data " the world literature 1 "/text browser picture Gv under the state that returns and set in jumping inspection rope pattern.

Then, under the state of the designated demonstration h of retrieval text strings " widow " in described book/text browser picture Gv (step S14), when wanting dictionary identical when the detailed meanings content of last time is jumped the inspection rope is set to jump looks into retrieval text strings " widow " that the target dictionary shows h to this appointments when retrieving, " dictionary last time " the icon Bb (step S15 (being)) among the mode icon BJ is looked in the jumping that touches demonstration in secondary picture 16.

So jumping inspection rope pattern is set to " dictionary pattern last time " and is stored in to jump to be looked among the mode memory 22j, simultaneously, is somebody's turn to do " dictionary last time " icon Bb by highlighted designated demonstration H (step S16).

So, differentiate the text type (letter) (step S17) of described retrieval text strings " widow ", retrieve and be stored in the jumping of jumping corresponding text type (letter) the corresponding last time look among the dictionary storer 22i (with reference to Fig. 4) last time and look into target dictionary " encyclopaedia " (step S18).Then, the jumping of this last time is looked into the jumping that target dictionary " encyclopaedia " is set at this and look into target dictionary (step S19).

So, be set to common dictionary search modes (step S20), judge whether it is change (step S21) from book/text browser pattern.

Then, if judgement is the change (step S21 (being)) from book/text browser pattern, shown in Figure 13 (S), on the touch icon area 17B of key frame 17, also show to jump and look into mode icon BJ, with current jumping inspection rope pattern " dictionary pattern last time " corresponding " dictionary last time " icon Bb designated demonstration H (step S22).

So, look into retrieval and the consistent entry in described retrieval text strings " widow " the place ahead in " encyclopaedia " set the target dictionary from the jumping of described last time, the entry that the guide look of this entry that retrieves is presented at key frame 17 is had a guide look of among the area L m (step S23).

At this moment, the entry " ウ イ De one～" of the beginning that guide look shows in described entry guide look area L m is by the designated demonstration of cursor Cu (step S24), look into from described jumping and to read the corresponding descriptive information of entry " ウ イ De one～" that shows with this appointment the target dictionary " encyclopaedia ", preview is presented among the preview area Vp of key frame 17 (step S25).

Then, according to the move operation of user to cursor Cu, select the entry " ウ イ De one～" of expectation, if push (touch) operation " translation/decision " key 14c (KE) (step S26), then be shown as the descriptive information display frame G (step S27) that launches in the whole image of key frame 17 with the detailed descriptive information that the entry " ウ イ De one～" of this selection is read from described " encyclopaedia " accordingly.

After this, if push (touch) operation " returning/tabulate " key 14d (step S62 (being)) once more, then shown in Figure 13 (T), return show state with the corresponding book of book data " world literature 1 "/text browser picture Gv under the state that is set at original book/text browser pattern.

Then, if push (touch) operation " jumping is looked into " key 14f (KJ) (step S9 (being)), owing to judge it is not common dictionary search modes (book/text browser pattern) (step S10 (denying)), then only in secondary picture 16, show to jump and look into mode icon BJ, be set at the inspection rope pattern (step S12) of jumping once more.

So, read out in the jumping inspection rope pattern " dictionary pattern last time " of storing among the mode memory 22j of looking into of jumping, look among the mode icon BJ corresponding " dictionary last time " icon Bb by highlighted designated demonstration H (step S13) in described jumping.

Then, if in book/text browser picture Gv, touch the text strings " widow " of wanting to jump the inspection rope, then should the retrieval text strings pass through counter-rotating designated demonstration h (step S14) with a P.

Here, come described appointment is shown that the retrieval text strings " widow " of h is when retrieving wanting to select arbitrarily dictionary to look into the target dictionary as jumping, shown in Figure 14 (U), if touch " dictionary selection " icon Bs (step S28 (being)), then jump inspection rope pattern and be set to " dictionary preference pattern " and be stored in to jump and look among the mode memory 22j, simultaneously should " dictionary selection " icon Bs by highlighted designated demonstration H (step S29).

So, differentiate the text type " letter " (step S30) of described retrieval text strings " widow ", jump the table data of looking among the target dictionary table storer 22h (with reference to Fig. 3) according to being stored in, read and the corresponding guide look of retrieving dictionary of the described text type that determines (letter), be presented at the jumping of on descriptive information display frame G, opening and look among the target dictionary guide look area L d (step S31).

At this moment, look into the dictionary that target dictionary " encyclopaedia " is set to appointment with being stored in the jumping of jumping corresponding text type (letter) the corresponding last time look among the dictionary storer 22i (with reference to Fig. 4) last time, by the designated demonstration of cursor Cu (step S32).

Look among the target dictionary guide look area L d in this jumping, shown in Figure 14 (V), operate moving cursor Cu according to the user, if select the jumping of expectation to look into target dictionary " [B] Britain and Japan dictionary " and push (touch) " translation/decision " key 14c (KE) (step S33), then the dictionary name of this selection " Britain and Japan's dictionary " is logged (step S34) accordingly with the differentiation text type (letter) of looking into the described retrieval text strings " widow " among the dictionary storer 22i (with reference to Fig. 4) in jumping last time.

So, be set to common dictionary search modes (step S20), judge whether it is change (step S21) from book/text browser pattern.

Then, if judgement is the change (step S21 (being)) from book/text browser pattern, shown in Figure 14 (W), in the touch icon area 17B of key frame 17, also show to jump and look into mode icon BJ, with current jumping inspection rope pattern " dictionary preference pattern " corresponding " dictionary selection " the designated demonstration of icon Bs H (step S22).

So, look into retrieval and the consistent entry in described retrieval text strings " widow " the place ahead " the Britain and Japan's dictionary " of target dictionary from the described jumping that is set to this, the entry that the guide look of this entry that retrieves is presented at key frame 17 is had a guide look of among the area L m (step S23).

At this moment, the entry " widow " of the beginning that guide look shows in described entry guide look area L m is by the designated demonstration of cursor Cu (step S24), look into the corresponding descriptive information of reading the target dictionary " Britain and Japan's dictionary " with this appointment demonstration of entry " widow " from described jumping, preview shows (step S25) on the preview area Vp of key frame 17.

Then, the retrieval entry of the move operation of cursor Cu being selected to expect according to the user " widow " (only being " widow " among Figure 14 (W)), if push (touch) operation " translation/decision " key 14c (KE) (step S26), then the detailed descriptive information of reading from described " Britain and Japan's dictionary " accordingly with the entry " widow " of this selection be shown as the whole image of key frame 17 launch descriptive information display frame G (step S27).

Like this, even in the book data of the user expectation that in book/text browser picture Gv, shows by book/text browser pattern or the reading of text data, look into mode icon BJ by the jumping that in secondary picture 16, shows, can be simply be a certain in " dictionary pattern last time ", " dictionary preference pattern ", " the miniature dictionary pattern " with jumping inspection rope mode initialization.And the dictionary retrieval is looked in the jumping that can easily expect the retrieval text strings of user's appointment.

In addition, be converted to from described common dictionary search modes under the situation of jumping inspection rope pattern and at (step S9～S14) under described book/text browser mode switch any one situation for the situation of jumping inspection rope pattern, if operation " translation/decision " key 14c under the state that is set at " dictionary pattern last time ", then pass through processing/judgement of step S47 (being)～S50 (being), directly carry out according to the jumping inspection rope of " dictionary pattern last time " and handle (step S17～S27).

In addition similarly, if operation " translation/decision " key 14c under the state that is set at " dictionary preference pattern ", then pass through processing/judgement of step S47 (being)～S50 (denying), directly carry out according to the jumping inspection rope of " dictionary preference pattern " and handle (step S30～S34 → S20～S27).

[looking into dictionary retrieval (other embodiment)] from the jumping that book/text browser pattern begins

Figure 15 be the expression information display process that is accompanied by described electronic dictionary device 10, with look into dictionary from the jumping of book/other embodiment that text browser pattern begins and retrieve the figure of the display action (its 1) of colored display part (key frame) 17 of corresponding touch-screen type and handwriting input portion (secondary picture) 16.

Figure 16 be the expression information display process that is accompanied by described electronic dictionary device 10, with look into dictionary from the jumping of book/other embodiment that text browser pattern begins and retrieve the figure of the display action (its 2) of colored display part (key frame) 17 of corresponding touch-screen type and handwriting input portion (secondary picture) 16.

Figure 17 be the expression information display process that is accompanied by described electronic dictionary device 10, with look into dictionary from the jumping of book/other embodiment that text browser pattern begins and retrieve the figure of the display action (its 3) of colored display part (key frame) 17 of corresponding touch-screen type and handwriting input portion (secondary picture) 16.

In dictionary retrieval is looked in the jumping of this other embodiment, in the process flow diagram (its 1) of described information display process shown in Figure 5, add the processing of the step S56 that is represented by dotted lines.

The processing of this step S56 is showing by book/text browser pattern under the situation of book/text browser picture Gv, jumps the jumping inspection rope pattern default setting look among the mode memory 22j and is " miniature dictionary pattern " being stored in.

According to operating in the menu screen that shows in the key frame 17 of " menu " key among the dictionary assignment key 14b, if the user selects book/text reading function (step S51 (being)), then be stored as the various book data of book/ text data 22f, 22g or the guide look of text data and be presented at (step S52) in the key frame 17.

In the guide look picture of this book/text data,, then be set to book/text browser pattern (step S54) if select book/text data that the user wants to read (for example, text data " text A ") (step S53).

Then, shown in Figure 15 (A), read the text data " text A " of described selection, be shown as the book/text browser picture Gv (step S55) that on the whole image of key frame 17, launches from storer 22.

So, be stored in and jump the jumping inspection rope pattern of looking among the mode memory 22j, be " miniature dictionary pattern " (step S56) by default setting.

Under the show state of the text data " text A " of described book/text browser picture Gv, if for jump find dictionary in the text data arbitrarily text strings retrieve and push (touch) operation " jumping is looked into " key 14f (KJ) (step S9 (being)), then judge whether it is common dictionary search modes (step S10).

Here, because the current book/text browser pattern that is set at so if judge it is not common dictionary search modes (step S10 (denying)), then only show to jump and look into mode icon BJ, is set at the inspection rope pattern (step S12) of jumping on secondary picture 16.

So, read out in the jumping inspection rope pattern " miniature dictionary pattern " look into default setting among the mode memory 22j of jumping, look among the mode icon BJ corresponding " miniature dictionary " icon Bm by highlighted designated demonstration H (step S13) in described jumping.

Then, if touch " no " of the text strings " unbalanced " of wanting to jump the inspection rope with a P in book/text browser picture Gv, the beginning literal " no " that then should examine text strings " unbalanced " is by anti-white designated demonstration h (step S14).

Here, only wondering that described appointment shows under the situation of simple meaning content of retrieval text strings " unbalanced " of h, because the user observes the designated demonstration of " miniature dictionary " the icon Bm H of secondary picture 16, be judged as and keep such jumping inspection rope pattern and get final product, therefore directly push (touchs) and operate " translation/decision " key 14c (KE) (step S47 (being)).

So, read to be stored in and jump the jumping inspection rope pattern of looking among the mode memory 22j (step S48), judging current jumping inspection rope pattern is " miniature dictionary pattern " (step S49 (being)).

So, differentiate the text type (Chinese character) (step S37) of described retrieval text strings " unbalanced ", and judge and be not letter (step S38 (deny)), be stored in " the miniature dictionary of national language " among the miniature dictionary database 22e and be designated as jumping and look into target dictionary (step S40).

So, look into retrieval and the consistent entry in described retrieval text strings " unbalanced " the place ahead " the miniature dictionary of national language " of target from being appointed as described jumping, read and the corresponding descriptive information of entry (step S41) that wherein starts.

At this moment, judge that described key frame 17 is the show state of book/text data (step S42 (being)), judge whether the direction that is provided with by acceleration transducer 26 detected apparatus main bodies is vertical (horizontal) (the step S57) that put.

And, if the direction that is provided with of judgment means main body is not vertical putting, but horizontal (step S57 (denying)), then keep and horizontal corresponding text display state (step S60), show the descriptive information of reading from described " the miniature dictionary of national language " (step S61) among the horizontal miniature dictionary window Wm that opens on the book in current demonstration/text browser picture Gv.

In addition, setting according to environment set under the situation of vertical write mode, shown in Figure 15 (C), the text data that shows on described book/text browser picture Gv is made as vertical putting then and shows.

Then, shown in Figure 16 (D), be replaced under the vertical situation of putting at apparatus main body, if the direction of judging by acceleration transducer 26 detected apparatus main bodies that is provided with is vertical put (step S42 → S57 (being)), then switch to and the vertical corresponding book/text browser picture Gvt (step S58) that puts, this vertical open on putting with book/text browser picture Gvt vertical put with miniature dictionary window Wmt on the descriptive information (step S61) read from described " the miniature dictionary of national language " of demonstration.

Like this, retrieval text strings about the expectation in the book/text browser picture Gv that in key frame 17, shows, because jumping inspection rope pattern under this book/text browser pattern is " miniature dictionary pattern " by default setting, so only by pressing (touch) " translation/decision " key 14c (KE) simply, just the dictionary of the simplification from be stored in miniature dictionary database 22e is read the descriptive information of the entry consistent with this retrieval text strings, is shown as miniature dictionary window Wm.Therefore, the situation of the meaning content of the statement that uses in thinking to know simply the book data that show in the reading or text data is inferior, can operability very well cosily jumps and looks into the dictionary retrieval.

In addition, under this book/text browser pattern, because described jumping is looked into mode icon BJ and is not presented at key frame 17 and only is presented in the secondary picture 16, therefore can use the viewing area of key frame 17 to show book/text browser picture Gv to greatest extent, can guarantee the demonstration amount of book/text data as much as possible.

After this, shown in Figure 16 (E), if return apparatus main body horizontal and press (touch) operation " returning/tabulate " key 14d (step S46 (being)), so described miniature dictionary window Wm (Wmt) closes, and returns and be set at the show state of the corresponding book of original text data " data the A "/text browser picture Gv under the state of jumping inspection rope pattern.

At this moment, jumping inspection rope pattern is maintained in jumping and looks into " the miniature dictionary pattern " of storing among the mode memory 22j.

Then, if in described book/text browser picture Gv, touch the next literal " ア " of wanting to jump the inspection rope, then should retrieve literal by anti-white designated demonstration h (step S14) with a P.

At this, described appointment is shown that the retrieval literal " ア " of h jumps under the situation of inspection rope wanting to keep described " miniature dictionary pattern ", shown in Figure 16 (F), if push (touch) " translation/decision " key 14c (KE) (step S47 (being)), then read out in to jump and look into the jumping inspection rope pattern (step S48) of storing among the mode memory 22j, judging current jumping inspection rope pattern is " miniature dictionary pattern " (step S49 (being)).

So, handle the text type " assumed name " (step S37) of similarly differentiating described retrieval text strings " ア " with the jumping inspection rope under " the miniature dictionary pattern " of last time, judge and be not letter (step S38 (deny)), " the miniature dictionary of national language " that will store in miniature dictionary database 22e is appointed as jumping again and looked into target dictionary (step S40).

So, look into " the miniature dictionary of national language " of target retrieval and the consistent entry in described retrieval literal " ア " the place ahead from being appointed as described jumping, read and entry " あ じ flavor " the corresponding descriptive information (step S41) of beginning wherein.

And, show the descriptive information of reading from described " the miniature dictionary of national language " (step S42 (being) → S57 (denying) → S60, S61) on the horizontal miniature dictionary window Wm that opens on the book in current demonstration/text browser picture Gv.

After this, shown in Figure 17 (G), if push (touch) operation " returning/tabulate " key 14d (step S46 (being)), then close described miniature dictionary window Wm (Wmt), return with at the show state that is set at the corresponding book of original text data " text the A "/text browser picture Gv under the state of jumping inspection rope pattern.

At this moment, jumping inspection rope pattern is maintained in jumping and looks into " the miniature dictionary pattern " of storing among the mode memory 22j.

And,, should retrieve literal so just by anti-white designated demonstration h (step S14) if in described book/text browser picture Gv, touch the literal " ア " of wanting to jump the inspection rope with a P.

At this, look under the situation that the target dictionary comes described appointment shown that the retrieval literal " ア " of h retrieves wanting dictionary arbitrarily is chosen as to jump, shown in Figure 17 (H), if touch " dictionary selection " icon Bs (step S28 (being)) of secondary picture 16, then jump inspection rope pattern and be set to " dictionary preference pattern " and be stored in to jump and look among the mode memory 22j, and should " dictionary selection " icon Bs by highlighted designated demonstration H (step S29).

So, differentiate the text type " assumed name " (step S30) of described retrieval literal " ア ", jump the table data of looking among the target dictionary table storer 22h (with reference to Fig. 3) according to being stored in, read the guide look of the retrieved dictionary corresponding, be presented in the jumping of opening on the descriptive information display frame G and look on the target dictionary guide look area L d (step S31) with the described text type that determines (assumed name).

At this moment, will look into the dictionary that target dictionary " encyclopaedia " is set at appointment, specify demonstration (step S32) by cursor Cu with being stored in the jumping of jumping corresponding text type (assumed name) the corresponding last time look among the dictionary storer 22i (with reference to Fig. 4) last time.

Look among the target dictionary guide look area L d in this jumping, if look in the jumping of having selected expectation by cursor Cu under the state of target dictionary " encyclopaedia " and push (touchs) " translation/decision " key 14c (KE) (step S33), the dictionary name " encyclopaedia " that then will select and jumping last time are looked into the differentiation text type (assumed name) of described retrieval literal " ア " among the dictionary storer 22i (with reference to Fig. 4) and are logined (step S34) accordingly.

So, be set to common dictionary search modes (step S20), judge whether it is change (step S21) from book/text browser pattern.

Then, if judgement is the change (step S21 (being)) from book/text browser pattern, then shown in Figure 17 (I), also show to jump at the touch icon area 17B of key frame 17 and look into mode icon BJ, specify to show H and current jumping inspection rope pattern " dictionary preference pattern " corresponding " dictionary selection " icon Bs (step S22).

So, look into retrieval and the consistent entry in described retrieval literal " ア " the place ahead " encyclopaedia " of target dictionary from being set at described this jumping, the entry that the guide look of this entry that retrieves is presented at key frame 17 is had a guide look of among the area L m (step S23).

At this moment, specify the entry " the ア ジ ア Pacific Ocean " (step S24) that is presented at the beginning that guide look shows among the described entry guide look area L m by cursor Cu, look into from described jumping and to read the corresponding descriptive information of entry " the ア ジ ア Pacific Ocean " that shows with this appointment the target dictionary " encyclopaedia ", preview is presented among the preview area Vp of key frame 17 (step S25).

Then, the retrieval entry of the move operation of cursor Cu being selected to expect according to the user " the ア ジ ア Pacific Ocean " (in Figure 17 (I), only being " the ア ジ ア Pacific Ocean "), if push (touch) operation " translation/decision " key 14c (KE) (step S26), then be shown as the descriptive information display frame G (step S27) that launches in the whole image of key frame 17 with the detailed descriptive information that this entry of selecting " the ア ジ ア Pacific Ocean " is read from described " encyclopaedia " accordingly.

Like this, by book/text browser pattern under the state of the book data of explicit user expectation on book/text browser picture Gv or text data, by jumping inspection rope pattern default setting for " miniature dictionary pattern ", no matter when can both be simply and easily open miniature dictionary window Wm and directly see descriptive information about the simplification of the retrieval text strings of appointment.

And, look into mode icon BJ by the jumping that on secondary picture 16, shows, can be that the jumping inspection rope mode altering of described " miniature dictionary pattern " is set at " dictionary pattern last time " or " dictionary preference pattern " simply with default setting.And, can look into the dictionary retrieval to the jumping that the retrieval text strings of user's appointment is easily expected.
