The present invention relates to a learning machine for accents, etc., and more specifically,
The present invention relates to a learning machine that stores additional symbol information such as an accent in a memory together with word spelling information and determines whether input additional symbol information input in response to an external operation matches the additional symbol information. Conventionally, electronic translators equipped with a word learning function have focused on learning the spelling of words, etc., and none have focused on learning the accent of words. The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances regarding an electronic translator equipped with a word learning function.1. A memory is provided to store additional symbol information such as an accent along with word spelling information, and it is checked whether input additional symbol information input in response to an external operation matches the additional symbol information read from the memory. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a learning machine that displays whether the input additional symbol information inputted by the learner is correct or incorrect by making a judgment, and learns the accent of words in a tenuto format. Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows a schematic plan view of an embodiment of a learning machine according to the present invention. The learning machine shown in Figure 1 is: ■Japanese-English mode that translates Japanese words into English words, ■English-Japanese mode that translates English words into Japanese words, ■Accent learning mode that learns the accents of English words, ■Verbs, It has five learning modes: change learning mode to learn the use and changes of adjectives, etc., and related word learning mode to learn synonyms and antonyms of English words. The learning machine shown in Fig. 1 above is a 5x7 dot matrix with 9

You can learn donJ's accent. Accent learning can be performed for other words in the same manner as described above. Next, FIG. 3 shows a 10-step diagram showing the configuration of the learning machine shown in FIG. 1. In FIG. 8, 21 is a microprocessor, 22 is a key-powered device consisting of an accent key 12, a character input key 13, etc., 23 is a memory that stores word spelling information together with its accent information, and 24 is a display unit 11. This is a display control unit that controls the display of. The microprocessor 21 includes a read-only memory (ROM) 25 that stores a control program created according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 4, and a random access memory (RAM) 26 that is used as a register and a flag.
, the arithmetic control section 27, an input/output buffer (not shown), and an internal bus (not shown) that communicates these human output buffers. The microprocessor 21 outputs a strophe signal to the key input device 22, reads the key input signal output from the key input device 22, and determines the presence or absence of a pressed key and the type of key. The display control unit 24 is a type of memory that stores lighting and non-lighting in accordance with the outer segments of the display unit 11, and the microprocessor 21 stores display patterns in the display control unit 24.
Perform the necessary display by writing to . Next, using the flowchart in FIG. 4, the operation of the learning machine having the configuration shown in FIG. 3 in the accent learning mode will be explained from (1) in FIG. 2.

This will be explained in conjunction with the operation [9]. In step 100 of FIG. 4, the power switch 17 of the learning machine is
When turned on, the microprocessor 21 performs step 1.
At step 01, the key power signal output from the key power device 22 is read. [1] Here, when the accent key 12 is pressed, the microprocessor 21 determines that the accent key 12 has been pressed on the Nuteb 102, and in step 103, a flag FA (
, and in step 1.4 input 1 to the pointer n indicating the character number of the spelling of the word. While the accent key 12 is pressed, the operation of the above-mentioned Stella 7'l 01 104 can be repeated on the Micro Zoro Nanatsusa 21i. Next, when the pressing of the accent key 12 is stopped, the microprocessor 21 determines in step 110 whether or not the question key 14 is pressed. By the way, at this time, the query key 14 has not been pressed yet, so the microprocessor 21 is
Move on to execution of step 05. Therefore, if the character input key 13, for example, the key 13a, is pressed, the microprocessor 21 determines in step 105 that the character input key 13 has been pressed, and proceeds to step 106.
In step 108, the characters that are the initial conditions for random number generation are input into the character buffer B, and in step 108, the flag Fli is set to record the input of the initial conditions for random numbers or the operation of the question key 14, and in step 109, it is displayed. ,
Returning to the execution of step 101. In the above state, when the question key 14 is pressed, the microprocessor 21 determines in step 110 that the question key 14 has been pressed, generates a random number in step 111, and uses the value as an address in step 112. A word close to is read from the memory 23. At this time, the microprocessor 21 performs step 113.
It is determined whether the flag FA is set or not, that is, whether the accent key 12 is pressed and the accent learning mode is set. If it is not the accent learning mode, other processing is performed and the accent learning mode is set. If so, the process moves to step 114. In step 114, the microprocessor 21 determines whether or not the word read by random number generation has accent data. If the word does not have accent data, the microprocessor 21 determines in step 115 whether or not the word read out has accent data. After uploading, the process returns to step 112 and the next word is read out from the memory 23. By repeating the loop from steps 112 to 115 above, the microprocessor 21 searches for a word with accent data and sets the flag F in the Nutep 116.
1, and the word searched in step 117, for example, "abandOnJ'i" is displayed on the display section 11.
Returning to 01, the answer is given by operating the character entry key 13. [2] Next, when the t key 18o is pressed in the character entry key 13 in the above state, the microprocessor 21 will:
7 Steps 101, 102, 110 proceed to step 105, and the character code of the key 13o is stored in buffer B.
is input, and in step 107 it is determined whether the flag F1 is set. At this time, the question key 14 has already been pressed and the flag Fl has been set, so the microprocessor 21 determines whether or not the flag F2, which stores the designation of the accent position in step 118, has been set. do. At this time, since the flag F2 is not set, the microprocessor 21 converts the step code to the words already displayed on the display section 11 ("aba, ndon").
J) spelling r) Matching is determined one letter at a time starting from the first letter of W. If the character code of the key 13o stored in the buffer B matches the character in the MvW of the word displayed on the display unit 11, the microtetrocessor 21 sets the flag F2 in step 122, and in step 128, The accent mark rJ is placed in the digit position corresponding to the character n (n-6 in the case of [abandonj) of the character rOJ that matches in 124.
Display. Nao, the process in step 123 is for resetting (erasing) the accent codes of all digits. [8] Next, the accent mark r' J ejli "a
To move from above the spelling v letter "o" to above the first spelling letter "3" in bandon J, press key 1 of the character manual keys 13.
If you press 3a'i, the microprocessor 21 will

[4] If the answer key 15 is pressed in the above state, the microprocessor 21 determines in step 127 that the answer key 15 has been pressed, and sets the flag F2 in step 128.
After determining that has been set, that is, that the accent position has been designated, it is determined in step 129 whether or not the accent position n (=1) and the accent position read from the memory 23 match. In this case, [abandonj is the accent mark "l"
Since the position of ``TRY

Return to 11. In addition, without operating the character input key 13, you can solve the problem ``Know the accent position of abandonJ vfC''.
: If the answer key 15 is pressed, the microprocessor 21 executes steps 138.1-32 and directly displays the answer "abandon J" on the display section 11. It is possible to learn the accent of English words without specifying the accent.Although the basic embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various configurations can be made within the scope of the gist.For example, in addition to learning accents of English words, it can be applied to learning additional symbols such as accents of words in other languages such as German and French. It is also possible to calculate and display the results of learning as a score.As is clear from the detailed explanation above, the present invention allows input additional symbol information and word spelling information to be written in the memory. The correctness of the input additional symbol information entered by the learner is displayed by determining whether or not the input additional symbol information matches the input additional symbol information. Learning can be done easily using a letter-filled keyboard as an input device, and
By specifying the accent position using the character entry key, there is no need for special keys for learning accents, etc. Furthermore, it is possible to determine with a simple operation whether the accent specified by the character entry key is correct or incorrect, which increases the learner's motivation to learn.
