JPS6244826A - Electronic memo pad - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To increase the capacity of a memo and to improve the flexibility of the memo by forming a display device in one of plural pages and arranging many key switches in other pages. CONSTITUTION:The body 21 of an electronic memo pad is constituted of a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, a keyboard 23, key switches 24, etc. The key board 23 and the key switch 24 are arranged on both the side of the body 21 to increase the number of key switches, a fitting 25 for loose-leaf is set up on the center of the body 21 and thin boards of several pages are fitted to the fitting. Input contents are displayed on an LCD panel 22 and confirmed. Respective pages are electrically connected to the body 21 through a connector 27 and connection cables 26. Consequently, many kinds of contents such as a month schedule and daily schedule are stored and displayed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention enables quick response to schedule management and memo recording on an individual basis in an office.

[Conventional technology]

The conventional schedule and memo pad are as shown in Figure 5.

9. Loose-leaf type or similar products are available on the market. The schedule table can also be selected and used according to the individual's preferences and contents, such as monthly or weekly (for example, one week's activity schedule printed on a page-by-page basis in the form of a memo diagram as shown in Fig. 5). or.

There are also products that use a microcomputer and memory to display the contents of telephone numbers, memos, etc. from memory. In terms of appearance, conventionally commercially available devices can be roughly divided into the watch type shown in Figure 6 and the notebook type shown in Figure 7.

The operation of these products is to input a phone number or memo by operating all the switches 61 on the watch model.
When displaying on the LCD 62, the switch 61 is also operated. For the notebook type, operate the switch 71'l1l in the same way and input the contents such as a telephone number or memo.
Perform all display to 2.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In the conventional system described above, the schedule shown in FIG.
In the memo pad, the monthly schedule table 51 is for one month - easy to see - the frame for each item is not large, and the memo page (sometimes the weekly activity schedule is printed for easy viewing) is printed on the memo page 52. You must keep a separate journal of the contents or memorize the contents by other means.In addition, if you drop your notebook, you may write confidential information in the memo column and the contents may be leaked to outside parties. On the other hand, FIG.

Regarding the electronic memo shown in FIG. 7, it is now possible to keep the contents of the memo confidential by using a password or the like.

However, since the watch type is small in size, it can only be operated with a limited number of keys 61, making it extremely complicated to operate.Also, the notebook type has a limited body 73 compared to the number of keys 71. Therefore, the display section 72 cannot be made large.

[Means for solving problems]

The expandable electronic memo pad of the present invention has keys for inputting schedules and memos, and has a loose-leaf structure that allows space for a large LCD panel to be used to solve the problem. In addition, since the entire computer is controlled by a computer, it has various functions such as monthly schedule, -day schedule, and memo on one screen.Furthermore, 5 functions have been expanded (for example, memo). Increasing the capacity→In order to make it possible, the 0 expansion board has a connector for expansion boards on the main body.Since the main body is a loose-leaf type, it is possible to attach several pages.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a plan view of an embodiment of the present invention viewed from above (
a), cross-sectional view (b), partially enlarged cross-section V (c), and side view (a) The entire system is as shown in Figure 1. The main body 21 is a first
CPUI, ROM2%RAM3, bus4. It is composed of a keyboard 5 and an LCD 6 (this system example has a multi-CPC configuration, but a single-chip CP [
A J configuration may also be used.

One of the features of the present invention is that the keyboard 23 is raised.
Ru. To enter normal letters and numbers, use the JIS layout keys, A
It is necessary to enter all alphanumeric, kana, and alphanumeric characters by some means, such as a SCII layout key or alphabetical order, and conventional products inevitably fit into a certain size, so the 5 display becomes small.

Large content such as monthly schedules could not be displayed.

Therefore, the keyboard of the present invention is indicated by 23 and 24, and in order to increase the number of key switches, the keyboard 23 is arranged on both sides as shown in the figure.

The second feature of the present invention is that a loose-leaf metal fitting 25t is attached to the center of the main body with several pages of thin boards (including the keyboard 23) (in this example, a loose-leaf type is used, but other method is also acceptable) In the zero-manpower state, use the keyboard 23 and 24 to enter alphanumeric and kana characters, and check the input contents on the visible part of the LCD panel 22. Entered schedules and memos can be entered using the keyboard. Use the extension board to display on the LCD panel 22 to the extension connector 27 on the main body.

The connecting couple 26t coming out from the board can be connected and used. By using the cable 26 as a flexible board, it is possible to turn the keyboard 23 and the extension board 29 on either side as a page.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, by making the entire display area larger and adding a keyboard, it is possible to write monthly schedules and daily schedules as shown in Fig. 4, rather than just a few words per item as in the past. This has the effect of making it possible to memorize and display a wide variety of contents, such as files, memo pads with a large number of words per page, etc.

In addition, since it is a loose-leaf type, Honda's flexibility is high, such as increasing the memo capacity as needed.

Furthermore, for control by microcombination.

In addition to the above types, there is also a calculator function depending on the contents of the ROM.

If you insert not only the clock function and all the contents of the expansion board, but also another 02 memory or ROM, you will have the advantage of being able to use the contents as completely different from the functions of the present invention.
