The nonvolatile memory 36 can permanently store stored data, and is composed of, for example, a mask ROM or a flash memory to be used as a nonvolatile memory device. Details of the data stored in the nonvolatile memory 36 will be described later. According to the configuration method, two nonvolatile memories 36 may be employed to be configured to separately store the driving program and the Koran data. In addition, these two nonvolatile memories 36 may be configured as internal ROMs and external ROMs or flash memories, respectively. In this case, it is preferable to use the embedded ROM to store driving programs and to store Koran data in an external ROM or a flash memory.

The CPU 30 utilizes the RAM 34 as a main memory for command and data processing, in response to a user's manipulation of the function keypad 16 to select and reproduce a desired portion of the entire Koran content. In addition, the contents of the Qur'an are displayed on the LCD panel 14, and the overall control necessary to reproduce the sound through the speaker 20 is performed. That is, the driving program is executed to perform the necessary control operation according to the value of the input function key to provide the LCD panel 14 and the audio decoder 38 with the image data and the audio data stored in the nonvolatile memory 36, respectively. Perform overall control of the back.

The audio decoder 38 decompresses and decompresses the compressed audio data input from the CPU 30, converts the compressed audio data into a reproducible analog audio signal, and provides the speaker 20 and / or the earphone terminal 18 to be read. Let it play by sound.

The nonvolatile memory 36 includes image data obtained by imaging the contents of the Koran, compressed audio data obtained by compressing and encoding the Koran's reading sound by a regular reader at high magnification, and the contents of the Koran, image data and compressed audio data. Index information for supporting access is stored. Since the e-book 10 of the present invention is for visually reproducing the Koran, it is necessary to process and prepare necessary data for this in advance.

In order to visually display the contents of the Qur'an, it must be made of text data or image data. As one way of making the image data, in order to make the e-book 10 provide a feeling similar to the actual Koran, the content of each page of the Koran is converted into image data. As another method, the text of the original or translated Koran can be used as it is by inputting it as text data.

Hereinafter, for convenience of description, a case in which the contents of the Koran are made of image data will be described as an example. However, a person skilled in the art will be able to easily use the text data for generation, reproduction, and inversion based on the following description. In addition, the Koran reading sound read by regular readers is also digitized into audio data to show the contents of the Koran.

The image data of the Koran text is preferably made in one of the BMP (Bitmap) format and the GIF (Graphic Interchange Format) format, which is a graphic format for Microsoft Windows. Data in these two formats is distinguished by the value of the flag in the index.

The digitized image data and audio data are stored in the nonvolatile memory 36. The Qur'an is composed of 114 chapters 6236 verses. When the contents of the Koran are made into text data, image data and audio data, the size is enormous. Therefore, when the data is stored without compression, a large amount of nonvolatile memory 36 is required, which is uneconomical. Therefore, image data and audio data need to be compressed at high magnification and stored in the nonvolatile memory 36. The classification as to which data format the audio data is made is also the flag value in the index.

In addition to the data to be stored in the nonvolatile memory 36, a table of contents of the Koran and an index file for the image data and audio data are further added. The image data and the audio data are related by index so that they are linked by being cut at the cutting edge.

In summary, data stored in the nonvolatile memory 36 is composed of an index and data. The index includes a fixed image data index of the image data fixedly used in the driving program, such as the number of image data, the number of audio data, for example, numbers or dashes. The fixed image data index is made of the data structure as shown in 'Table 1' below, and one index file is made to have information about an image file of one screen.

name Contents size Flag Flag (1 if data format is BMP, 2 if GIF) 4 bytes Chapter Chapter number 4 bytes Phrase_st Start clause number 4 bytes Phrase_end End clause number 4 bytes Address Start position 4 bytes Size Data size 4 bytes

Further, the index further includes an image data index and an audio data index of the text content of the actual Qur'an. In particular, since the text image data is classified by sections, the text image data index has corresponding section number information and position information for inverting the part being reproduced. The text image data index has a structure as shown in 'Table 2' below. According to this structure, each index file is image file information of one screen, and the chapter number, start and end clause number, address of start position, data size In addition to the information about the position information of the inversion area. The position information of the inversion area is position information for causing the text image data portion on the LCD panel 14 to be inverted corresponding to the portion currently being reproduced as a solo sound through the speaker 20. X2 and Y2 may be defined by coordinate values as shown in Table 2, but the inversion area may be defined by defining the length and height of the inversion area, respectively. Depending on the selection of the implementation method, the inversion area may be limited to set only the section number of the section being played, but may be set to be the section number and all the image data of the section. Therefore, a text image data index file is provided for each section.

name Contents size Flag Flag (1 if data format is BMP, 2 if GIF) 4 bytes Chapter Chapter number 4 bytes Phrase_st Start clause number 4 bytes Phrase_end End clause number 4 bytes Address Start position 4 bytes X1 X coordinate value of the first vertex of the inversion region 4 bytes Y1 Y coordinate value of the first vertex of the inversion region 4 bytes X2 X coordinate value of the second vertex of the inversion region 4 bytes Y2 Y coordinate value of the second vertex of the inversion region 4 bytes Size Data size 4 bytes

The audio data index is the index of the audio data of the actual Qur'an. Since the audio data is classified by sections, this index has only the corresponding section number. The audio data index has a structure as shown in Table 3 below. That is, one index is configured to have the size of voice data for one section and information about chapters and sections, and there is an index file corresponding to each section.

Next, the contents of the drive program will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 3.

When the user turns on the power switch 26 of the e-book 10, the CPU 30 executes the following operation according to the driving program stored in the nonvolatile memory 36. First, the hardware components of the LCD module 40, the audio decoder 38, the RAM 34, the nonvolatile memory 36, and the like inside the e-book are initialized (step S10). Then, the opening sound such as the sound of water, the sound of birds, etc. is reproduced through the speaker 20 and the cover of the Koran is displayed on the LCD panel 14 (step S12). After the opening output is completed, the CPU 30 provides the table of contents data stored in the nonvolatile memory 36 to the LCD module 40 to be displayed on the LCD panel 14.

In this state, the user can select a desired chapter while viewing the table of contents displayed on the LCD panel 14. At this time, the page up or page down keys 16b and 16e for moving the cursor in units of pages and the up and down keys 16c and 16d for moving the cursor in units of lines can be used to navigate to a desired table of contents. The CPU 30 monitors the output terminal of the function key input unit 42 to check whether the user has made a key input (step S16). When the user instructs the cursor to move using the page up or page down keys 16b and 16e or the up or down keys 16c and 16d, the CPU 30 responds to the table of contents index stored in the nonvolatile memory 36. By referring to the position of the cursor on the LCD panel 14 is moved to the indicated position, the table of contents is reversed or a predetermined indicator such as an arrow is displayed to control the LCD module 40 so as to be distinguishably displayed (step S18, Step S20).

The CPU 30 waits while monitoring whether there is a function key input again (step S16), the user moves to a desired chapter and then presses the play / stop key (16f) to select the chapter, and the first page of the chapter is displayed on the LCD. Displayed on the panel 14, the section selection is made, and the first section number of the corresponding page is inverted or distinguished. The CPU 30 waits for the user's key input again to control the position of the cursor in response to a key input for moving the cursor. When the user selects a desired section and inputs the play / stop key 16f, the CPU 30 allows playback from the currently selected section in response. For playback, the CPU 30 reads from the nonvolatile memory 36 the text image data and the audio data of the section instructing playback by referring to the contents index, the text image data index and the audio data index information, and then to the LCD module 40. And audio decoder 38, respectively. The audio decoder 38 decompresses and decodes the text image data and converts the text image data into an analog audio signal so that the audio signal can be reproduced by the speaker 20. The LCD module 40 also receives text image data from the CPU 30 together with the control signal and performs signal processing for displaying on the LCD panel 14. As a result, text image data and audio data are sequentially output from the selected section through the LCD panel 14 and the speaker 20, respectively. Thus, the user can hear the sound of reading while viewing the contents of the Quran displayed on the LCD panel 14.

Since a single chapter is usually composed of a plurality of sections, the entire LCD section (including the section number or section number of the section being played) can be easily displayed so that the user can easily recognize which section corresponds to the current reading sound. Invert or show distinguishable marks. To this end, the CPU 30 reads the vertex information (X1, Y1, X2, Y2) of the inverted region recorded in the text image data index and provides it to the LCD module 40. Since the inversion area is a rectangular area, vertex information (X1, Y1, X2, Y2) becomes position information of vertices facing each other.

This playback continues to the end of the selected chapter until the play / stop key 16f is input. After playing to the end of the selected chapter, you can either stop playback and wait for the user's keystrokes. Alternatively, you can implement the program by continuing to play the next chapter.

On the other hand, it is also possible to repeat the playback by specifying the section. To this end, the user presses the repeat play key 16g once to set the beginning of the repeating section and presses again to designate the end of the repeating section. The CPU 30 detects such a user's key operation and reads the data of the specified repetition section from the nonvolatile memory 36 so as to repeat playback.

As described above, the e-book 10 according to the present invention employs a nonvolatile memory as a storage means to compress the text of the Koran image data or text data and audio data with high magnification and store it together with the drive program, the user Displays the table of contents in response to the operation of the function key and allows the user to select and play the desired part. In addition, the part which is being reproduced can be inverted or distinguished by an indicator so that the learning effect of the Quran can be enhanced.

On the other hand, for non-Arabic-speaking Koran learning, the translation data obtained by translating the original Koran text into another language is further added to the nonvolatile memory 36. Similar to the format of the original Arabic text described above, the translated text is made of image data or text data and corresponding index information is also stored in the nonvolatile memory 36 in the manner described above.
