DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of a communication terminal device according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of a basic configuration of a communication terminal device according to the present invention. Here, as an example of the communication terminal device,
Although the facsimile apparatus F is shown, the present invention is not limited to this. As shown in the figure, the facsimile machine F
Is connected to a communication line (telephone line or the like) and performs facsimile communication.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes an MPU for executing the operation procedure of the present invention and controlling the signals of respective units, 2 for an NCU for performing network control such as transmission of a dial signal to a communication line, and 3 for facsimile transmission of image data. A modem that modulates and demodulates signals for communication, 4 is a scanner that reads originals for facsimile transmission, etc., 5 is a printer that prints out image data on recording paper, and 6 is encoding and decoding of image data A CODEC 7 to be realized is a ROM that stores a processing program, a character font 7A, and the like, and 8 is a RAM that temporarily stores data.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a touch panel I / F (interface) for handling input data from the touch panel 10;
Reference numeral 0 denotes a touch panel that is provided on the surface of the LCD 12 and includes transparent electrodes, and has a function of inputting coordinate data using an electronic pen (or a finger); 11, an LCD driver that controls the LCD 12; An LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) 13 for displaying a key operation unit including ten keys and limited setting switches, etc.
Reference numeral 4 denotes bit character code conversion means for analyzing bitmap data input by handwriting and converting the data into character data. The LCD 12 is used as a display device of the present invention in the RAM 8.
Constitute the memory of the present invention.

Steps 100 to 104 in FIG. 2 are flowcharts showing an example of a basic operation procedure of touch panel image input which is a feature of the communication terminal device of the present invention. FIG. 3 shows a touch panel in the case of touch panel image input. It is a schematic diagram which shows an example of the display state of. In FIG. 3, the transparent touch panel 1 installed on the LCD 12
Through 0, the display of the LCD 12 is visible, and 15 is an electronic pen for inputting coordinate data.

When the "hand input" portion is clicked (lightly pushed once) on the touch panel 10 with the electronic pen 15, a handwriting input frame is displayed. When a character is handwritten in the handwriting input frame, Facsimile machine F
Calculates the coordinates (X, Y) of the input point and reversely displays the LCD pixel corresponding to the coordinates (X, Y). “Mountains” and “fields” in the handwriting input frame in the figure indicate such a state where the display is highlighted.

In this state, when the “registration” portion is clicked with the electronic pen 15, the bitmap data displayed in the handwriting input frame of the LCD 12 is left as it is.
It is stored in the RAM 8 and registered as internally generated information.
In this way, the internally generated information can be easily input using the handwriting input system, and the character of “Yamada” as the bitmap data is registered as the sender information together with the fax number, for example, and the facsimile transmission In such a case, it is added to the beginning of the image data as a heading.

In this case, since the input coordinate data is registered as it is as bitmap data, a relatively large memory capacity is required. However, a procedure and a font for character recognition are not required, and the system is simplified. Can be It is also useful when using special symbols or characters in a unique typeface without a character font. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of a display state of the touch panel in the case of touch panel code input.

In this figure, with the handwriting input frame “mountain” or “field”, which is the reverse display of the input coordinates (X, Y), displayed in reverse, the electronic pen 15 is used to perform “search” on the touch panel. The state when clicking the part is shown. Here, the bit character data 7A is searched and collated by the bit character code converting means 14 with respect to the bit map data of the input coordinates (X, Y), and a character code corresponding to the bit map data is searched for. "Yamada" of character pattern corresponding to character code
Is displayed in the search result display frame. A predetermined character pattern and a character code are registered in advance in the character font 7A in association with each other.

In this state, when the "registration" portion is clicked with the electronic pen 15, the character codes corresponding to the characters "mountain" and "field" are registered as internally generated information. In this way, using the handwriting input system,
It is possible to easily input and register the internally generated information. In this case, since the input data is stored as character data, the storage capacity can be reduced, and the information can be searched and sorted.

Steps 110 to 117 in FIG. 5 are flowcharts showing an example of a basic operation procedure of touch panel code selection and input which is a feature of the communication terminal device of the present invention. FIG. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a display state of the touch panel. FIG.
In FIG. 7, steps 110 to 112 are the same as those in FIG. When the "search" portion of the touch panel is clicked in the inverted display state, the character font 7A is searched and collated by the bit character code conversion means 14, and the candidate character determined to be close to the input character is displayed. You. FIG. 6 shows a state in which a character candidate such as “field, day, mill, use,...” Determined to be close to the highlighted “field” is displayed in the selection candidate display column. Is shown. In this state, when the correct character “field” is clicked with the electronic pen 15, “field” is displayed in the search result display frame. Then, when the “registration” area of the touch panel 10 is clicked, “yamada” is displayed. The character code is registered as internally generated information.

In this way, it is possible to easily input and register the internally generated information by using the handwriting input system. In this case, it is possible to select the correct character while looking at the display of the search result. Therefore, internally generated information without error is registered.

[0020]

As can be understood from the above description, according to the communication terminal device of the first aspect, a touch panel having a coordinate data input function is provided on a display device, and internally generated information is input and registered. In this case, the pixels corresponding to the coordinates input from the touch panel are highlighted on the touch panel, the input characters are displayed, and by a predetermined operation,
Since the character is registered in the memory as the internally generated information as it is in the bitmap data, the input of the internally generated information can be easily performed, and a special symbol or a character in a special typeface can be registered.

According to the communication terminal device of the second aspect,
On the display device, there is a touch panel having a coordinate data input function, and when inputting and registering internally generated information, pixels corresponding to the coordinates input from the touch panel are displayed in reverse on the touch panel, and the input characters are displayed. Is displayed, a character close to the character is searched for by a predetermined operation, and the character code of the searched character is registered in the memory as internally generated information. Since it is stored as data, the storage capacity is small,
They can also be sorted.

According to the communication terminal device of the third aspect,
In addition to the effects of the communication terminal device according to claim 2, as a result of the search, a candidate for a character determined to be close is displayed on the touch panel, and a character code of a selected character is selected from among the candidate characters. Since it is registered in the memory as internally generated information, the correct character can be selected while looking at the display of the search result, and the internally generated information without errors is registered.
