DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention relates to a method of reading a book or the like,
A recording medium such as a composite disk in which a magnetic memory that converts numbers, symbols, and the like into code signals and an optical memory are integrated is used. The present invention has a display unit that uses the information on the recording medium as visual detection information. The amount of data to be reproduced is 1
Although only the display screen may be reproduced one by one, data reproduction of both screens may be performed at a low degree of reproduction. Alternatively, the display on one of the display units may be fixed, and the other may be configured and corrected by a touch pen, a light pen, or the like in a form required by the reader. For this reason, a function is provided in which the instruction information from the external input terminal is stored in the IC memory in the display device, and the necessary screen is displayed by the user by an external key operation when necessary. Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to examples. [Embodiment 1] FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of an apparatus for processing an external recording medium according to the present invention. FIG. 1A is a front view showing a state in which a processing device for an external recording medium folded in two is opened, and FIG. 1B is a front view showing a state in which the processing device for an external recording medium folded in two is folded. . In both figures, an external recording medium processing apparatus main body (10) comprises a main body (1) and a lid (1 '). The display units (2) and (2 ') and the external input key (3), the photoelectric conversion device (5) for the auxiliary power supply attached to the lid (1'), and the external storage medium reproducing device (4) ), An external power input terminal (13), and external input / output terminals (14) and (15). In the case of this embodiment, a liquid crystal display device is used as the display units (2) and (2 '), and an optical disk is used as the first recording medium of the data file, that is, the data is recorded by the difference in the reflectance of irradiation light.
A CD ROM system for recording data is adopted, and at the same time, a composite disk is constituted by using a magnetic disk as a second recording medium provided in another part of the disk. The photoelectric conversion device (5) employs an amorphous silicon photoelectric conversion device having a size of 20 mm × 300 mm, and supplies the electric power generated by the photoelectric conversion device (5) to the charge / discharge device (16). In addition, the processing unit (10) for the external recording medium is driven by charging the insufficient power from the external power supply (6). The function shown in FIG. 2 is provided inside the external recording medium processing device (10). This interior function is performed mainly by the microcomputer (20), and the external recording information is transferred to the temporary memory (17) as necessary (store), and from there, an arbitrary location designated by the external input key (3) can be used. Information is randomly displayed on the display units (2) and (2 '). In the external recording medium processing device (10), the information of the screen is reproduced by the operation of the external input key (3) and displayed on the display units (2) and (2 ').
The user has a function of displaying information by reading the display. At this time, the display units (2) and (2 ′) each display, for example, 30 characters × 50 lines in vertical writing. The display corresponding to a certain page is performed on the display unit (2 ') of the lid, and the display corresponding to the next page is performed on the display unit (2). The contents of each display are compared. The operation for this can be performed by operating the input key (3), and the next screen may be displayed and read. Thus, the present invention was completed. Embodiment 2 This embodiment is shown in FIGS.
The other storage and reproduction functions shown in FIG. In FIG. 2, there is provided a first optical external storage medium 1 (11) and a second magnetic storage medium 2 (11 '). Furthermore, corresponding to each, one of the playback device (12),
On the other hand, there is a recording and reproducing device (12 '). As schematically shown in FIG. 3, one disk is provided with a ROM and a RAM as an integrated composite disk (30). That is, a first external storage medium (11) made of a compact disk (ROM or read only), and a magnetic storage medium (1
1 ') (for both writing and reading). For this reason, one reproducing apparatus (12) is a reflection type ROM (lead only memory) reproducing apparatus composed of an optical system (13) and a light emitting / receiving system (14). The other is a magnetic head (16) and its drive system (16)
RAM (write and read random access or random access memory) type storage and playback device (12 ')
It is. For this purpose, one magnetic head is shown in the drawings, but two heads may be used, one of which may be erased, and the other may be used for recording or reproduction. However, the RAM capacity is smaller than the optical type. The magnetic recording portion may be provided at the center or the outer periphery of the recording surface (11) of the compact disk, or may be provided at the center or the entire surface of the back surface (the upper surface in the drawing). Thus, the process of processing and editing the information and the obtained result are stored in the memory (FIG. 2 (17)), and the information of the result is transmitted via the recording / reproducing device (12 ') to the outside of the magnet. The data is transferred to the storage medium (11 '), and can be permanently stored in a compact disk information (11) in a one-to-one correspondence. For this reason, ROM information is mainly used, and it is possible to correct or correct a part of the information, and it is possible to use the ROM memory effectively for a long period of time. As described above, according to the present invention, a portable, lightweight, compact recording medium for an external recording medium processing device having a book function can be realized. Also, because the recording data file is lightweight and compact,
A large amount of information can be stored and transported. Further, by having a plurality of data files for one playback apparatus, the same effect as having many books can be obtained. Further, as shown in the present invention, when a processing device for a liquid crystal external recording medium in which sensors are arranged in a matrix in correspondence with each pixel of the display unit is used, a user is provided on an important part of the display screen. When the user gives an instruction with a touch pen or a light pen, the important part can be stored in a magnetic recording medium, or the display of the part can be highlighted, for example, underlined or inverted characters. Or an underline with a fluorescent pen. Thus, there is a feature that elementary and junior high school students do not need to carry many heavy books to school, but only to carry a plurality of lightweight and compact data files. Furthermore, by incorporating an auxiliary power supply such as a solar cell, it is possible to read a book while carrying it for a long time.
