Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document figure creating apparatus for creating documents and figures for general office work, and more particularly to a document figure creating apparatus for writing a document or the like on a blank portion of a partially printed sheet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, printing on a printed sheet has been done by hand or by creating a program for each printing style.

[0003]

Among the above-mentioned document creating methods, in the manual entry method on the printing paper, when creating a plurality of required documents or documents of similar documents, overlapping parts for all documents All have to be filled in by hand, resulting in omissions, mistakes in entry, and wasted time. In addition, there is a drawback in that it is difficult to read and cannot be read because there are individual differences in the shape of the characters because they are written by hand. In addition, the method of creating a program according to each printing style has a drawback that it costs a lot of money and cannot be dealt with in an emergency.

[0004]

A document figure creating apparatus according to the present invention is an image input apparatus for inputting a printed sheet, a display for displaying an image input to the image input apparatus, and an image displayed on the display. An edit input device having an input device for inputting characters or figures in a superimposed manner, a storage device for storing the contents created by the edit input device, and a printing device for printing the contents created by the edit input device. is doing.

Next, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention.

In this embodiment, an image reading device 1 for reading an image of a printed sheet of paper and the contents obtained by the image reading device 1 are displayed, and characters and figures are input in an overlapping manner on the display screen. It is composed of an edit input device 2 including a display, a keyboard, etc., a storage device 4 for storing the contents obtained by the image reading device 1 and the contents created by the edit input device 2, and a printing device 3 for printing the same.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

First, the printed sheet 5 to be used is read by the image reading device 1. The read image is displayed on the display 6 of the edit input device 2. Further, while displaying the image, characters and a design are overlaid on the keyboard of the edit input device 2 or the like. The document created here is saved in the storage device 4 as needed. Furthermore,
Printing is performed by the printing device 3 as necessary to obtain the document 7. The printing here includes printing only the contents obtained by the image reading device 1, printing only the contents input by the editing input device 2 on a printed sheet, There are three types of printing of input contents, and it is possible to select according to the type of the printing device 3 and the paper to be printed. This makes copy paper,
Printing on blank paper is also possible.

[0010]

As described above, according to the present invention, a printed slip or figure paper is input by the image input device, displayed on the display of the edit input device, and characters or patterns are overlapped and a keyboard of the edit input device is displayed. By inputting from the above, it is possible to easily create a document using printed paper. Further, by storing the image in the storage device, it is possible to easily perform a plurality of prints and create similar documents.
