<p>PURPOSE:To facilitate a dictionary consulting job by using a card type microcomputer which performs the output display of the number of the page containing the word to be retrieved in the form of the numerical value or a bar graph. CONSTITUTION:A user pushes successively the keys on a keyboard 12 with fingers at and after the head letter for input of an English word to be retrieved. Thus the character strings supplied sequentially are displayed on a display 11 with the function of an electronic circuit group consisting of an LSI and set into a microcomputer 9. Then the user can confirm the absence of input mistakes by reference to the character strings displayed on the display 11. At the same time, a page range set at that time point is displayed on a display 14. Then a bar graph is shown at the lower part of the screen of a display 15 when the final display is put on the display 14. In this case, the bar graph is approximately coincident with the position of the page of a content 8 with its front end set at the forefront of the display screen and its rear end including the retrieving words respectively. Then a page close to the rear end of the bar graph is first opened and the page shown on the display 14 is searched. Thus a desired word can be easily retrieved.</p> |
