Abstract

An electronic device and a display method for word information thereof are provided. The display method for word information includes following steps: identifying a user to acquire a user characteristic; acquiring a user word table according to the user characteristic; detecting a selected word pointed by a pointing device; and when the selected word is recorded in the user word table, displaying the word information corresponding to the selected word according to the user word table, wherein the word information includes at least one of word translation and a word note corresponding to the selected word.

Claims

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a detecting unit, configured for detecting a selected word pointed by a pointing device;

an identifying unit, configured for identifying and acquiring a characteristic information;

a displaying unit; and

a word information processing unit, coupled to the detecting unit, the identifying unit, and the displaying unit, configured for acquiring a word table according to the characteristic information, wherein when the selected word is recorded in the word table, the word information processing unit controls the displaying unit to display word information corresponding to the selected word according to the word table, and wherein the word information comprises at least one of word translation and a word note corresponding to the selected word.

2. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein when a translation field in the word table corresponding to the selected word is marked, the word information processing unit acquires the word translation and the word information comprises the word translation.

3. The electronic device as claimed in claim 2, further comprising a translating unit coupled to the word information processing unit for acquiring the word translation through a translation interface.

4. The electronic device as claimed in claim 3, wherein the translation interface is provided by at least one of translation software and translation websites.

5. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein when the word note is recorded at a note field corresponding to the selected word in the word table, the word information comprises the word note.

6. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein when the selected word is not recorded in the word table, the word information processing unit records the selected word in the word table through an input signal.

7. The electronic device as claimed in claim 6, wherein the input signal is to mark a translation field corresponding to the selected word.

8. The electronic device as claimed in claim 6, wherein the input signal is to record the word note at a note field corresponding to the selected word.

9. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein when the selected word is recorded in the word table, the word information processing unit changes the word information corresponding to an input signal.

10. The electronic device as claimed in claim 9, wherein when a translation field corresponding to the selected word is not marked and the input signal is to mark the translation field, the word information comprises the word translation;

when the translation field is marked and the input signal is to delete the mark of the translation field, the word information does not comprise the word translation.

11. The electronic device as claimed in claim 9, wherein when a note field corresponding to the selected word is empty and the input signal is to record the word note at the note field, the word information comprises the word note;

when the word note is recorded at the note field and the input signal is to delete the word note, the word information does not comprise the word note.

12. The electronic device as claimed in claim 9, wherein when the word information is empty, the word information processing unit deletes the selected word from the word table.

13. A display method for word information of an electronic device, comprising:

identifying a user to acquire a user characteristic;

acquiring a user word table according to the user characteristic;

detecting a selected word pointed by a pointing device; and

when the selected word is recorded in the user word table, displaying the word information corresponding to the selected word according to the user word table, wherein the word information comprises at least one of word translation and a word note corresponding to the selected word.

14. The display method for the word information of the electronic device as claimed in claim 13, wherein the step of displaying the word information corresponding to the selected word according to the user word table comprises:

when a translation field in the user word table corresponding to the selected word is marked, the word information comprises the word translation.

15. The display method for the word information of the electronic device as claimed in claim 14, wherein the word translation is acquired through a translation interface.

16. The display method for the word information of the electronic device as claimed in claim 15, wherein the translation interface is provided by at least one of translation software and translation websites.

17. The display method for the word information of the electronic device as claimed in claim 13, wherein the step of displaying the word information corresponding to the selected word according to the user word table comprises:

when the word note is recorded at a note field corresponding to the selected word in the user word table, the word information comprises the word note.

18. The display method for the word information of the electronic device as claimed in claim 13, further comprising:

when the selected word is not recorded in the user word table, the selected word is recorded in the user word table through an input by a user.

19. The display method for the word information of the electronic device as claimed in claim 18, wherein the input by the user is to mark a translation field corresponding to the selected word.

20. The display method for the word information of the electronic device as claimed in claim 18, wherein the input by the user is to record the word note at a note field corresponding to the selected word.

21. The display method for the word information of the electronic device as claimed in claim 13 further comprising:

when the selected word is recorded in the user word table, changing the word information corresponding to an input signal.

22. The display method for the word information of the electronic device as claimed in claim 21, wherein the step of changing the word information corresponding to the input signal comprises:

when a translation field corresponding to the selected word is not marked and the input signal makes to mark the translation field, the word information comprises the word translation; and

when the translation field is marked and the input by the user is to delete the mark of the translation field, the word information does not comprise the word translation.

23. The display method for the word information of the electronic device as claimed in claim 21, wherein the step of changing the word information corresponding to the input signal comprises:

when a note field corresponding to the selected word is empty and the input signal makes to record the word note at the note field, the word information comprises the word note; and

when the word note is recorded at the note field and the input by the user is to delete the word note, the word information does not comprise the word note.

24. The display method for the word information of the electronic device as claimed in claim 21, further comprising:

when the word information is empty, deleting the selected word from the user word table.
