일반적으로 데스크탑 컴퓨터(이하, 데스크탑)는 키보드와 마우스를 이용하여 입력하고 있지만, 휴대폰과 같은 휴대성이 중요한 정보기기는 휴대하기 곤란한 마우스 등의 별도의 입력장치를 따로 연결하지 않고, 소형 키패드나 소형 마우스 등을 기기 안에 내장하여 제공하게 된다.In general, desktop computers (hereinafter, referred to as desktops) are input using a keyboard and a mouse. However, portable information devices such as mobile phones do not require a separate input device such as a mouse, which is difficult to carry. A mouse and the like will be provided inside the device.
그런데, 휴대용 정보기기에서도 음악이나 영화, 그리고 게임 등 다양한 멀티미디어를 즐기려는 소비자들이 많아지게 되었고, 이에 따라, 좀 더 넓은 화면이 필요해지게 되어, 최근에는 휴대성을 유지하면서 넓은 화면을 제공할 수 있는 전면터치스크린 방식이 각광받고 있다.However, in the portable information devices, consumers who want to enjoy various multimedia such as music, movies, and games have increased. Accordingly, a wider screen is required, and in recent years, a wide screen can be provided while maintaining portability. Front touch screen method is in the spotlight.
이에 따라, 터치스크린을 용이하게 누르도록 하기 위하여 스타일러스를 제공하지만, 이 역시 휴대에 간편하도록 내부에 수납할 수 있는 착탈식 구조나, 휴대폰에 매달 수 있는 구조로 만들어 제공되고 있다.Accordingly, although a stylus is provided to easily press the touch screen, this also provides a detachable structure that can be stored inside or a structure that can be suspended on a mobile phone for easy portability.
또한, 애플사의 아이폰과 같은 경우는, 멀티터치를 사용할 수 있는 터치스크린을 제공하여 스타일러스를 쓰지 않고 손가락으로만 다양한 조작을 할 수 있는 유저인터페이스(이하, UI)를 제공하고 있다.In addition, in the case of Apple's iPhone, a multi-touch touch screen is provided to provide a user interface (UI), which allows various operations using only a finger without using a stylus.
이렇듯, 휴대성을 해치지 않으면서 편리성을 갖춘 UI는 기기의 다양한 활용성이 요구됨에 따라 모바일기기에서 매우 중요한 것이 되었다.As such, the UI with convenience without compromising portability has become very important in mobile devices as various usability of the device is required.
이러한 UI들은 스마트폰이 데스크탑에 비해서 아직은 비교적 단순한 기능만을 수행할 때에는 큰 불편이 없었다. 그러나, 스마트폰이 점차 컴퓨터 수준에 가까워지고, 또한, PC원격제어와 같은 서비스를 받게 되면 데스크탑 내의 프로그램을 스마트폰에서 원격으로 사용할 수 있게 됨에 따라, 스마트폰에서도 데스크탑용 응용프로그램을 제어할 수 있을 만한 UI가 필요하게 되었다.These UIs have not been inconvenient when the smartphone performs relatively simple functions yet compared to the desktop. However, as smart phones are getting closer to the computer level, and also when services such as PC remote control are received, the programs in the desktop can be used remotely from the smart phone, thereby enabling the control of desktop applications on the smart phone. I needed a nice UI.
하지만, 스타일러스나 손가락을 이용한 제스처에 의한 조작방식 등, 현재까지 소개된 모바일기기용 UI는 모두 데스크탑의 조작방식과는 너무 달라 사람들이 불편함을 느끼게 된다.However, all of the UIs for mobile devices introduced to date, such as an operation method using a stylus or a finger gesture, are so different from the operation methods of the desktop, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
멀리티디어를 즐기기에 좋도록 넓은 화면을 제공하면서도 휴대성을 해치지 않으려면 전면터치스크린이 가장 이상적이고, 전면터치스크린을 제공한다면 마우스의 버튼들과 휠까지 제공하여 데스크탑 UI와 흡사한 전자펜을 사용하면 좋으나, 사용자들이 손에 들고 다니는 휴대용 기기에 별도의 전자펜을 챙겨다니는 것을 싫어하므로 적용하기 어려운 점이 있었다.The front touch screen is the most ideal to provide a wide screen for enjoying multimedia, but not to impair the portability. If the front touch screen is provided, the buttons and wheels of the mouse can be provided to provide an electronic pen similar to the desktop UI. It is good to use, but it is difficult to apply because users do not like to carry a separate electronic pen on the portable device.
본 발명은 이 점을 해결하고자 하는 것이며, 사람들이 기꺼이 휴대하고 다닐 수 있는 전자펜과 그와 쌍을 이루어 조작되는 핸드헬드 태블릿PC를 제시하고자 한다.The present invention aims to solve this problem, and proposes an electronic pen which people are willing to carry and carry, and a handheld tablet PC which is operated in pair with it.
이하, 본 발명을 도면을 참조하여 설명하기로 한다.Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

An adjustment button 15 is provided. Such operation buttons may be attached to other surfaces or provided in a manner other than a button according to an embodiment.
도 3은 본 발명의 본체부의 구성도이다.3 is a block diagram of the main body of the present invention.
본 발명의 본체부는,The main body of the present invention,
본체부를 이루는 모든 전자구성부들을 메모리부에 저장된 프로그램에 의해 제어하는 제어부(100);와,A control unit 100 for controlling all electronic components forming the main body by a program stored in a memory unit;
터치스크린과 결합되어 있어 터치스크린의 화면을 보고 입력하는 유저의 터치신호를 감지하여 제어부(100)에 전달하는 터치신호센서와 시스템온오프버튼(14)과 통화음량조절버튼(15) 등으로 이루어진 조작신호입력부(101);와,It is combined with the touch screen and consists of a touch signal sensor, a system on-off button 14 and a call volume control button 15 to detect the user's touch signal to see and input the screen of the touch screen, and transmits it to the control unit 100. Operation signal input unit 101; and,
제어부(100)의 제어에 따라 터치스크린에 화면을 출력하는 디스플레이부(102);와,A display unit 102 which outputs a screen to the touch screen under the control of the controller 100; and
유저의 음성신호를 입력받아 제어부(100)에 전달하는 음성신호입력부(103);와,A voice signal input unit 103 which receives a voice signal of a user and transmits it to the control unit 100;
제어부(100)의 제어에 따라, 음성신호를 출력하는 음성신호출력부(104);와,Under the control of the control unit 100, a voice signal output unit 104 for outputting a voice signal; And,
이동통신 기능을 수행하는 이동통신부(105);와,A mobile communication unit 105 performing a mobile communication function; and
전자펜부와 연결하여 신호를 주고받는 기능을 수행하는 근거리무선통신부(106);와,Short-range wireless communication unit 106 for connecting to the electronic pen to perform a function of sending and receiving a signal; And,

본체부를 이루는 모든 전자구성부들에 전원을 공급하는 전원부(108);로 이루어져 있다.The power supply unit 108 supplies power to all the electronic components forming the main body.
여기서, 상기 근거리무선통신부(106)는 블루투스도 좋지만 고화질동영상을 전송할 수 있는 고속의 전송속도와 동네에서 산책할 정도의 거리인 500미터 접속거리가 가능한 바이너리CDMA와 같은 방식이 바람직하다. 고속의 전송속도가 필요한 것은 전자펜부에 부가할 수 있는 기능에 카메라 등이 가능하게 되며, 더 먼거리에서도 접속이 가능한 것이 필요한 것은 사무실에서 점심식사를 하러 잠시 자리를 비우거나 집에서 동네 산책을 위해 잠시 나갈 경우에 전자펜부만 몸에 지닌 채 나가더라도 언제든지 전화를 받을 수 있고 걸 수도 있는 장점이 있기 때문이다. 또한, 특히 여성 유저들은 휴대폰을 핸드백 속에 넣고 다니는 경우가 많고, 남성 유저들은 귀와는 멀리 떨어진 바지주머니나 자켓의 아랫주머니에 넣고 다니는 경우가 많아 전화가 와도 착신벨소리를 못 듣거나 진동을 못 느끼는 경우가 잦아 중요한 전화를 놓치기도 하는데, 본 발명에 의한 전자펜부를 목에 걸거나 자켓의 윗주머니에 꽂고 다니면 그럴 일이 현저히 줄어들게 된다.Here, the short-range wireless communication unit 106 is also a good Bluetooth, but a high-speed transmission that can transmit high-definition video and binary CDMA is possible that can be connected to the distance of 500 meters, which is enough to walk in the neighborhood. The need for a high-speed transmission speed can be added to the electronic pen, the camera, etc., and the need to be able to access from a longer distance is to leave the office for lunch in the office or to take a walk in the neighborhood at home If you go out with only the electronic pen, even if you leave the body at any time, you can answer and make a call. In particular, women users often carry their phones in their handbags, and male users often carry them in pants pockets or jackets far away from their ears. It is often missed important phone calls, the electronic pen part according to the present invention, or hanging around the neck or the upper pocket of the jacket it will be significantly reduced.
바로 이러한 장점 때문에 유저들은 본 발명에 의한 전자펜부를 목걸이형 헤드셋을 연결하여 목에 걸거나 포켓클립을 이용해 포켓에 꽂아 항시 몸에 지니게 되어, 언제든지 본체부에 대한 입출력장치로써 유용하게 활용할 수 있는 것이다. Because of these advantages, the user can always have the electronic pen part according to the present invention by attaching the necklace-type headset to the neck or by inserting it into the pocket using a pocket clip, which can be usefully used as an input / output device for the main body at any time. .
또한, 근거리무선통신으로 분류할 수 있는 많은 방식들이 제각각 기술의 진보를 이루어 이러한 기준을 충족하게 된다면 그 어떤 방식을 써도 무방할 것이다.In addition, many methods that can be classified as short-range wireless communication may use any method if the technology advances and meets these standards.
또한, 이러한 기본적인 구성 이외에, USB포트, 시리얼포트, 각종 외장메모리 슬롯 등을 구비하도록 실시할 수도 있다.In addition to the basic configuration, the present invention may also be provided with a USB port, a serial port, and various external memory slots.
다음은 전자펜부에 관한 설명이다.The following is a description of the electronic pen unit.

For this reason, the present embodiment intends to take a motion recognition function and a camera as a representative example among many functions that can be applied, but since the motion recognition sensor is built, only the camera is not seen from the outside. First, the camera will be described, and the motion recognition function will be described later.
도면에 보이는 전자펜부(20)의 후면에 보이는 카메라(27)는 사진 또는 동영상을 촬영하여 본체부(10)에 전달한다. 이러한 카메라(27)는 일상에서는 보기 힘든 자신의 뒤통수나 가구의 밑 어두운 부분에 비추어 관찰이 가능하도록 해준다. 즉, 상기 카메라(27)를 보고 싶은 곳을 향해 한 손으로 들고 다른 한 손으로는 본체부(10)에 전송되어 스크린에 출력된 영상을 확인하는 것이다.The camera 27 shown on the back of the electronic pen unit 20 shown in the drawing takes a picture or video and transmits it to the main body unit 10. Such a camera 27 makes it possible to observe in the light of the back of the head or the dark part of the furniture that is difficult to see in everyday life. That is, the camera 27 is held with one hand toward the place where you want to see and the other hand is transmitted to the main body 10 to check the image output on the screen.
이밖에, 후면에는 도면과 같이 스테레오이어폰연결단자(28)가 마련되어 있다. 물론, 상기 카메라(27)나 스테레오연결단자(28)는 반드시 전자펜부(20)의 후면에만 마련되어야 하는 것은 아니며, 이는 단지 설명을 위한 예시일 뿐이다.In addition, the rear is provided with a stereo earphone connection terminal 28 as shown. Of course, the camera 27 or the stereo connection terminal 28 is not necessarily provided only at the rear of the electronic pen unit 20, which is merely an example for explanation.
이러한 외관을 가진 전자펜부(20)는 그 내부에 충전가능한 착탈식 또는 내장된 배터리를 구비하며, 블루투스나, 지그비, 바이너리CDMA와 같은 근거리무선통신 수단을 구비하여, 상기 키패드에의 입력신호를 근거리무선통신으로 연결된 본체부(10)에 전송하여 마우스신호를 비롯한 다양한 입력처리를 하도록 되어 있다.The electronic pen unit 20 having such an appearance includes a removable or built-in battery that can be charged therein, and includes a short-range wireless communication means such as Bluetooth, ZigBee, or binary CDMA, and inputs an input signal to the keypad.

도 6은 본 발명의 전자펜부의 다양한 실시예이다.6 is various embodiments of the electronic pen unit of the present invention.
본 발명에 의한 전자펜부(20)는 분리하여 사용하기 위해 떼지 않는 하나의 몸체를 갖도록 실시할 수도 있지만, 다양한 쓸모를 위하여 2개 또는 3개의 분리될 수 있도록 실시함이 바람직하다.The electronic pen unit 20 according to the present invention may be implemented to have a single body that is not detached for use separately, but it is preferable to implement such that two or three can be separated for various uses.
그림 (a)와 (b)는 전자펜부(20)를 상, 하 2부로 나눈 실시예를 서로 분리한 모습이다.Figures (a) and (b) is an embodiment in which the electronic pen unit 20 is divided into two embodiments, the upper and lower parts.
상부와 하부로 나뉘는 구조로 되어 있으며, 결합되어 있는 상태의 전자펜부(20)의 상부와 하부를 서로 양쪽으로 잡아당기면 어느 한쪽에 달린 USB커넥터(29)에 의해 결합되어 있던 두 부분이 분리된다. 상기 USB커넥터(29)는 실시예에 따라 상부 또는 하부에, 또는 양쪽 모두에 구비될 수 있다.The structure is divided into upper and lower portions, and when the upper and lower portions of the electronic pen unit 20 in a coupled state are pulled to each other, the two portions that are coupled by the USB connector 29 attached to either side are separated. The USB connector 29 may be provided at the top or the bottom, or both depending on the embodiment.
이러한 외관을 가진 본 발명은 그 내부에는, 상부(10)와 하부(5)에 각각 전원부와, 각 구성요소가 되는 전자장치들을 제어하는 제어부와, 블루투스통신부(또는 기타 다른 방식의 근거리무선통신수단)와, 동작인식센서가 내장된다. 상기 USB커넥터(29)로 연결되는 다른 컴퓨터장치에 인식될 USB메모리는 전자펜부(20)내에 구비되거나 본체부(10)에 구비되어도 무방하다. 상기 USB커넥터(29)로 연결되는 상기 다른 컴퓨터장치는 상기 USB커넥터(29)가 구비된 부분에 함께 내장된 근거리무선통신부를 통해서 다른 부분에 내장된 USB메모리나 또는 본체부(10)의 메모리부에 할당된 USB메모리에 접근이 가능하게 된다.The present invention having such an appearance includes a control unit for controlling the power supply unit and the electronic devices, which are each component in the upper part 10 and the lower part 5, and a Bluetooth communication unit (or other short-range wireless communication means). ) And a motion recognition sensor. The USB memory to be recognized by the other computer device connected to the USB connector 29 may be provided in the electronic pen unit 20 or the main body unit 10. The other computer device connected to the USB connector 29 may include a USB memory embedded in another portion or a memory portion of the main unit 10 through a short range wireless communication unit embedded in the portion provided with the USB connector 29. The USB memory assigned to is accessible.
앞서 설명한대로, 본 전자펜부(20)는 동작인식센서를 내장하여 본체부(10)에 동작인식신호를 입력하는 장치로 사용이 가능하다. 도면에서의 (c)는 전자펜부(20)를 3 부분으로 나눈 예인데, 이러한 실시예는 USB커넥터(29)를 데스크탑과 같은 다른 컴퓨터에 꼽고 나머지 두 부분을 양손에 들고 양손의 동작인식신호를 상기 다른 컴퓨터에 입력하는 것이 가능하다. 예를 들어, 한손에 들고 칼을 휘두르거나, 상부(10)와 하부(5)를 양손에 나누어 들고 권투동작을 입력할 수 있다. 또한, 블루투스로 연결되어 있는 다른 컴퓨터기기에서는 이러한 동작인식신호와 상기 키패드로부터의 입력신호를 합하여 허공 마우스 또는 펜마우스를 구현할 수도 있다.As described above, the electronic pen unit 20 may be used as a device for inputting an operation recognition signal to the main body unit 10 by including an operation recognition sensor. In the drawing, (c) shows an example of dividing the electronic pen unit 20 into three parts. In this embodiment, the USB connector 29 is plugged into another computer such as a desktop, and the other two parts are held in both hands, and the operation recognition signals of both hands are received. It is possible to input to the other computer. For example, a knife may be swung in one hand, or the box may be input by dividing the upper part 10 and the lower part 5 in both hands. In addition, other computer devices connected by Bluetooth may implement the air mouse or the pen mouse by adding the motion recognition signal and the input signal from the keypad.
동작인식센서는 가속도센서나 자이로센서 등이 가능하고 보다 정밀한 동작스캔을 위해서 한 가지 이상의 센서들을 구비함이 바람직하다.The motion recognition sensor may be an acceleration sensor, a gyro sensor, or the like, and is preferably provided with one or more sensors for more precise motion scan.
또한, 근거리무선통신의 방식도 그 용도나 크기, 가격 등에 따라 한 가지나 또는 두 개 이상의 것을 혼용하여 사용할 수도 있다. 예를 들어, 전자펜부에 구비된 카메라로부터의 동영상을 실시간으로 본체부에 전송하려면 바이너리CDMA나 블루투스3.0 등이 카메라가 설치된 부분에 구비되고, 단지 동작인식신호나 터치패드 입력신호 정도를 본체부에 전달하면 되는 부분에는 지그비나 블루투스2.0 이하를 구비해도 무방하다.In addition, the method of short-range wireless communication may be used in one or two or more depending on the purpose, size, price, and the like. For example, in order to transmit a video from a camera provided in the electronic pen unit to the main unit in real time, binary CDMA or Bluetooth 3.0 is provided in the unit where the camera is installed, and only a motion recognition signal or a touch pad input signal is transmitted to the main unit.

다음은 전자펜부의 다양한 활용에 대하여 설명하기로 한다.Next, various applications of the electronic pen unit will be described.
도 15는 본 발명의 전자펜부로 허공조이스틱 기능을 사용하는 예이다.15 is an example of using the air joystick function as the electronic pen portion of the present invention.
도면에서 보는 바와 같이 전자펜부를 손으로 잡고 전후좌우로 기울이면 내장된 동작인식센서가 그 동작신호를 본체부에 전달하여 본체부에서 조이스틱조작신호로 받아들일 수 있다. 또한, USB연결부를 분리하여 다른 컴퓨터에 꽂은 후, 전자펜부를 전후좌우로 기울여서 다른 컴퓨터에 조이스틱신호를 입력할 수도 있다.As shown in the figure, if the electronic pen unit is held by the hand and tilted forward, backward, left and right, the built-in motion recognition sensor may transmit the operation signal to the main body and receive the joystick operation signal from the main body. Also, after disconnecting the USB connector and plugging it into another computer, the electronic pen unit can be tilted back and forth and left and right to input a joystick signal to another computer.
도 16은 본 발명의 전자펜부로 양손의 동작을 동시에 입력할 수 있는 장치로 쓰는 예이다.16 is an example of using the device that can simultaneously input the operation of both hands with the electronic pen portion of the present invention.
도면에서 보는 바와 같이, 2개의 부분으로 분리되는 실시예의 경우인 전자펜부를 분리하여 각각 양손에 하나씩 잡고 기울이거나 회전시키거나 휘두르는 등의 동작을 하면 내장된 동작인식센서가 그 동작신호를 본체부에 전달하여 본체부에서 동작인식신호로 받아들일 수 있다. 또한, 도 6의 (c)처럼 USB연결부가 별도로 따로 분리되는 실시예인 경우는 상기 USB연결부를 다른 컴퓨터에 꽂은 후, 다른 컴퓨터에 양손에 의한 동작인식신호를 입력할 수 있다.As shown in the drawing, when the electronic pen part is separated into two parts, each of which is held by one hand and tilted, rotated, or swung, the built-in motion recognition sensor sends the motion signal to the main body. It can be received by the main body as a motion recognition signal. In addition, in the case of the embodiment in which the USB connection unit is separately separated as shown in FIG. 6C, after the USB connection unit is plugged into another computer, an operation recognition signal by both hands may be input to the other computer.
다음은, 본 발명에 내장된 동작인식센서 기능을 응용한 다양한 기능에 대하여 설명하기로 한다.Next, various functions using the motion recognition sensor function built in the present invention will be described.
도 17은 본 발명의 전자펜부의 기울기를 이용하여 손가락 입력모드로 사용하는 예이다.17 illustrates an example of using the inclination of the electronic pen unit in the finger input mode.
그림처럼, 세워서 사용하던 전자펜부를 눕혀 손가락 사이에 끼우고 손가락으로 화면을 드래그 할 경우에는, 본체부가 동작인식센서로부터의 신호를 분석하여 전자펜부가 눕혀져 있음을 확인하여 그 입력된 터치신호 처리를 화면스크롤로 처리할 수 있다.As shown in the figure, when the electronic pen is placed upright and sandwiched between the fingers and the screen is dragged with the finger, the main unit analyzes the signal from the motion recognition sensor and confirms that the electronic pen is laid down to process the input touch signal. Can be processed by screen scrolling.
이러한 기능은 어떠한 문서에 전자펜부로 교정사항을 체크하여 교정부호나 전달사항을 적다가 화면을 스크롤 할 때 손가락으로 드래그하여 스크롤 하는 경우 등에 매우 유용할 것이다. 기존의 방식대로 스타일러스부분으로 드래그를 할 경우, 문서에 선을 긋는 동작인지 화면 스크롤을 위한 동작인지 구분하기 곤란하기 때문이다.This function is very useful for checking the corrections with the electronic pen on a document, writing down the correction codes or forwarding items, and scrolling by dragging with a finger when scrolling the screen. This is because when dragging the stylus part according to the conventional method, it is difficult to distinguish whether the document is a line drawing operation or a screen scrolling operation.
도 18은 본 발명의 전자펜부의 기울기를 이용하여 손가락 입력모드로 사용하는 또 다른 예이다.18 is another example of using a finger input mode using a tilt of the electronic pen unit of the present invention.
이 예는 앞서 설명한 기능과 마찬가지로 전자펜부가 눕혀져 있는 경우를 인식하여 지우개 모드를 처리하는 방법이다.This example is a method of processing the eraser mode by recognizing a case where the electronic pen unit is lying down, similar to the above-described function.
이 기능은 컴퓨터로 그림을 그리는 응용프로그램 등에서 유용하게 사용할 수 있는데, 전자펜부로 입력한 부분에 전자펜이 눕혀져 있는 상태에서 새로운 터치신호가 입력되면 앞서 마우스로 입력한 부분을 지우개로 지우는 것으로 처리할 수 있다. 물론 지우개 모드로 작동하는 것이기 때문에 지울 수 있는 모든 것들을 지우는 것으로 처리할 수 있다.This function can be useful in applications such as drawing a computer. If a new touch signal is input while the electronic pen is lying on the input area of the electronic pen, it can be processed by erasing the previously inputted area with a mouse. Can be. Of course, because it works in eraser mode, you can do it by erasing everything that can be erased.
또한, 마치 연필에 달린 지우개를 쓰듯이, 전자펜을 뒤집어 위쪽 끝부분을 이용해서 드래그를 하는 것을 지우개모드로 처리하고, 마우스를 눕힌 채로 손가락으로 드래그 하는 것은 화면이동을 위한 조작으로 처리하거나 목탄 등을 이용하여 그림을 그리는 경우에는 그러한 신호를 손으로 문질러 번지게 하는 것으로 처리할 수도 있다.Also, as if using an eraser attached to a pencil, turn the electronic pen upside down and use the upper end to drag in the eraser mode, and dragging your finger with the mouse lying down is handled by moving the screen or charcoal. In the case of drawing using, it can be treated as smearing such a signal by hand.
도 19는 본 발명의 전자펜부의 기울기를 이용하여 다양한 선의 모양을 입력하는 예이다.19 is an example of inputting the shape of various lines using the inclination of the electronic pen unit of the present invention.
도면과 같이 전자펜부를 꼿꼿이 세워서 긋는 선은 가는 선으로 입력처리하고, 전자펜부를 비스듬히 눕혀서 긋는 선은 그 정도에 따라 선의 굵기를 다르게 입력처리할 수 있다.As shown in the drawing, a line drawn by drawing up the electronic pen unit may be input as a thin line, and a line drawn by laying the electronic pen section at an angle may be inputly processed according to the degree thereof.
이러한 기능도 역시 전자펜부에 내장된 동작인식센서로부터의 신호를 본체부가 분석하여 그 기울어진 각도에 따라 처리해주면 된다.This function also needs to analyze the signal from the motion recognition sensor built into the electronic pen and process it according to its inclined angle.
다음은, 이와 같이 전자펜부의 팁(21)으로 입력되는 모드와 손가락으로 입력되는 모드를 구분하는, 편집영역에서의 입력처리과정에 대하여 설명하기로 한다.Next, a description will be given of the input processing in the editing area for distinguishing the mode inputted by the tip 21 of the electronic pen unit and the mode inputted by the finger.
도 20은 본 발명의 본체에서 전자펜부의 기울기를 이용한 조작신호를 처리하는 과정이다.20 is a process of processing an operation signal using a tilt of the electronic pen unit in the main body of the present invention.

오른쪽버튼이 눌러져 있으면 마우스의 오른쪽버튼이 눌린 것으로 처리하고(3220),If the right button is pressed, the right button of the mouse is treated as pressed (3220),
왼쪽버튼이 눌러져 있으면, 전자펜부에 내장된 동작인식센서로부터의 동작신호를 분석하여 그 세워진 각도를 계산하고(3300),If the left button is pressed, the motion signal from the motion recognition sensor built in the electronic pen unit is analyzed to calculate the established angle (3300),
상기 각도가 수평에서부터 기준각도(이 각도는 프로그램에 미리 설정되는 각도, 예를 들어 5도) 이상이면 그 각도에 따라 선굵기를, 프로그램에 미리 설정된 규칙에 따라 달리 처리하고(3400),If the angle is greater than or equal to the reference angle (the angle is an angle preset in the program, for example, 5 degrees) from the horizontal, the line thickness is processed differently according to the angle according to the angle (3400),
상기 각도가 수평에서부터 기준각도 이하이면 손가락에 의한 입력으로 처리한다(3310).If the angle is equal to or less than the reference angle from the horizontal, it is processed as an input by a finger (3310).
