Description

The present invention relates to a device comprising a scanner with a housing, a flat screen, a computer electronically connected to the scanner and the flat screen and a housing cover for covering the scanner.

The device according to the invention makes it possible to create, edit, store, send and receive text, image or acoustic information. The device has all the necessary facilities in a compact design, namely a computer device, hereinafter referred to as a computer, a scanner for the detection and digitization of documents and images, a printer and transmitting and receiving devices for wireless and wired data transmission and software or Programs for the operation of the device and for a user interface. Depending on the use and design specification of the device, the scanner is designed in a variety of construction and size, so that documents or photos with a width or a format up to A3, A4 or DIN A5 can be digitized. The scanner is designed as a flatbed scanner or as a feed scanner with a roller system for paper transport. The inventive device and the program for the user interface are designed so that the device can be used by people without computer skills as well as people with read and write weakness. The device is particularly suitable as an "electronic mailbox" or for the use of accredited electronic postal services, such as "De-Mail". The device according to the invention provides the precondition for persons who have no or limited access to digital media to be able to use electronic postal services. These include u. a. People without computer literacy, residents of retirement homes and boarding schools, seafarers on the high seas and inmates of penal institutions. In particular, the device according to the invention - similar to public telephones - can be installed for shared use in freely accessible places.

Devices are known in which facilities for arithmetic and faxing are integrated in one device. The DE 690 24 874 T2 describes a portable computer which is provided with a feeder scanner and a pluggable and pivotable display module in which a display of the computer is mounted. In order to be able to fax with this known computer when the keyboard is covered, the display module must be taken out of the main body and plugged back in the wrong direction. The display is designed as a touchpad. To fax the operating system of the computer must be started up. Although this known computer can be expected to create fax texts by means of the keyboard and sent by means of the built-in fax device and receive such and displayed and printed on the display. For the purposes of the present invention, the described details of the known computer are disadvantageous. The DE 10 2005 009 723 A1 describes a laptop with an integrated, fax-capable scanner device, with which documents can be faxed without a booted operating system by means of a keyboard attached to the lid of the laptop. When the operating system is up, documents can also be scanned and saved. In this known laptop documents can only be printed with an external printer.

There are also known devices that z. For example, they can be used by insurance field staff to complete and print out insurance policies. The templates for this are stored in the software of the device. With these known devices, however, documents or book pages which are only in printed form can not be printed out and then faxed. In addition, these devices do not allow you to save, print and fax documents of any format.

For the processing of text, image and sound information and their transmission and reception with high transmission speed currently laptops and computers are required, which are equipped with high-speed modems and are only operated with computer skills. To print text and image documents, external printers are required. Because of the rising costs of the since then usual transport of documents and their delivery, their dispatch via the Internet is now being prepared in the form of an e-mail letter. This has already progressed so far that you can already register an e-mail address. Following the introduction of this procedure, the cost of letters processed after conventional mailing and delivery will inevitably increase. Since, however, a certain proportion of the population has neither a device with fast Internet access, nor the knowledge to operate such, this group of people is dependent on the normal letter dispatch and delivery. This will be made more difficult in the future by reducing the number of mailboxes, post offices and post offices. For a large group of people who can not subscribe to the e-mail system, conventional mail transport and the delivery of mail will therefore be accompanied by considerable difficulties. In order to overcome the described disadvantages of the prior art and to those who do not have a PC or a laptop, or these devices not It is the object of the present invention to provide a device with a computer and software-based control panel for editing, sending and receiving text, image and video messages, as well as enabling documents to be sent and received over a fast Internet connection To create sound information that meets the following conditions:
