Description

Data Processing Apparatus The invention relates to a Data processing system with its various components. The solution of the problem is shown, as an example, on a typewriter device. That said but is valid and also applies to any other data processing device, -such as Bo on the calculating machines, etc.

Every data processing process basically consists of two operations. One is the recording of the data, the second is the fixing of the result this capture.

When typing, for example, the data is recorded either acoustic or visual. The acoustic data acquisition takes place when the typewriter is dictated directly into the machine, or to whom he receives the data from a dictation machine hears. In the case of visual data acquisition, the typist goes through the data read, d. H. through the sucking note. In the following we omit it the processes involved in acoustic data acquisition, since the invention to be discussed relates exclusively to visual data acquisition.

In order to be able to proceed logically, we must raise the question, the importance of the various individual types of typing comes to. It is well known that a typist does not care if it is acoustic or feeds the information that has been captured into the typewriter extremely easily. He doesn't even need to follow this process visually, e, r writes "blind, writes often with astonishing speed.

But if we observe how slowly and slowly the data acquisition is from a scripture going on and when we we in this context Put together a time consumption and fatigue study that shows that the Ratio of the integral workload to about 1:10 at the expense of the recording stands.

In other words, when typing ME, the the actual paperwork is the smallest, but the data acquisition is incomparable bigger work is.

Based on the above observations, one would logically expect that in the design and construction of the data acquisition machine ear reamers ten times as much importance is attached to it as the writing process by means of the machine.

In contrast, the actual development shows a completely different picture.

The typewriter, invented about a hundred years ago, has been around ever since so far developed that there could hardly be any technical possibilities which had not already been used to complete the machine.

That this is partly a matter of overdevelopments that are not absolutely necessary The fact shows that one is dealing with a 30-40 year old typewriter written text generally does not differ from text at all, which was written with one of the most modern typewriters. The different The comfort features of the newer machines did not bring any more remarkable ones either Reductions in the amount of work involved. Really significant and progressive is only the typewriter with electrical actuation, but this one has with the Data collection to do nothing. The increase in writing speed is also available out of proportion with the expenses.

Everything has been done to work with this most advanced Typewriters keep improving and making it easier. today there are definitely a hundred or more varieties: n of typewriter tables and writing chairs, with all possible adjustability.

There were even "privacy protection from three sides" offering furniture for Typewriter developed. The sciraib machine building companies ensure regulations regarding the right one correct posture of the typist, the pa in one of the instructions for use reads as follows: "Please note your Posture. It is so important if you have been writing long letters and back pain Don't if you tilt your upper arms slightly forward with your forearms parallel hold up to the keyboard, position the backrest of the chair in a favorable position, your back with you prop up the backrest and set the rivers flat on the ground. So can your Only really enjoy the typewriter. "All of this should and will be done around the aforementioned 1/10 of the work done in masculin writing to make it even easier. However, it is completely clear that, according to the above instructions for use, these are special Favorable containment can only be used if the typewriter the data recorded acoustically. The instruction is not valid for all the millions of cases where data collection is done visually.

It is utterly amazing that the typewriter building companies the visual ones that occur in a very high percentage during typing Practically completely disregarding data acquisition, when everyone knows that many Millions of typists today are still forced to bend at an angle Assuming posture to the concepts lying on the typewriter table to be able to capture and machine-write. Some typists follow the script of the concept given to them with the help of primitively attached Rulers and / or erasers, but their work always remains due to numerous possible errors burdened with looking. Time-consuming necessity arises again and again of the error repair, then the search for the keyword of the interruption point. Experience has shown that resuming work once it has been interrupted requires a long residual time. If you still take into account that some concept is difficult to read Marginal fonts, other overcorrected typescripts, are, and do occur that they are made of small scraps of paper exist so will us arguably the difficulties that stand in the way of such data acquisition. Clear is also that the quality of work done in this way hardly meets the requirements can, with the blame much less on the typist than on the working conditions omitted, according to which typing will soon result in fatigue occurs that should be avoided.

For the sake of completeness, it should be noted that there are already some Devices exist which attempt to solve the problem. That they have not yet penetrated but could be a clear proof that they could do the job Could not meet requirements by far and mostly only primitive compromise solutions have shown.

The invention disclosed herein relates to a data processing device, 'the the problem of typing with virtual recording completely and uncompromisingly solves, at the same time a significant increase in performance in the field of data processing brings forth.

Performance increases of the order of magnitude of 100 fe or more practical results. To the economic effects of this the closer It should be mentioned that in the Federal Republic of Germany there is a typist's office cost 20,000 DM annually today.

A 50 percent systematic saving of these burdens through an investment of only a few hundred marks would easily be possible.

Before we proceeded to the description of the new device, we will It would be correct to summarize the requirements of a typewriter system in the following must be compared with visual data acquisition: 1. / The typist should be able to work in the normal body position described above.

2. / The distance between eye and concept, as well as eye and typescript should be the same.

3. / The corresponding parts of the text of the I concept and the machine script should be as close as possible to each other 4. / Concept and typesetting should be clear to be ordered.

5. / Concept consisting of several small pieces should be exactly the same how to treat full-size concepts.

6. / The concept should be scannable except for the characters and the reading point be fixable except for the letters.

7. / When you stop typing, you should resume can be done with practically no set-up time.

8. / The concept text should as far as possible be overlooked in its entire size be.

9. / / The text pointer components cannot have text components at all cover up.

The arrangement according to Fig. 1 corresponds completely to the one prescribed above Requirements. In Fig. 1 is the typewriter body with S, the platen with W and the keyboard with. The Kon-Kcepthalter is above the platen arranged. The concept holder in this case is a cylindrical body, a Drum that can be rotated about its axis of symmetry x-x. The concept is on the concept holder attached. The respective rotational position of the drum and thus also the position of the concept The pointer shows Z on the drum. As the drum rotates, the concept becomes Scanned line by line. The typist in fed into the typewriter.

The rotation of the concept holder / Fig. 1 / can be done mechanically or electrically, in both cases by hand or foot. The rotation can be continuous or gradual. It is advantageous to use mechanisms similar to those used for rotating the platen of the typewriter. The lever H is used to manually operate the rotary movement. The pointer can be adjusted around the axis of rotation of the drum K. It can be set to the corresponding height for the typewriter. The pointer Z contains further pointer devices V with which the respective position of the concept text up to the writing characters can be set. The pointer V can be adjusted mechanically or electrically using the pointer Z.

About the corresponding test parts of the concept and the typewriter font Bringing as close together as possible is the drum K with all its devices displaceable in the x-x direction. Such a shift can be mechanical or electrical, be stirred by hand or foot.

If necessary, both drum X and pointer Z can be equipped with similar tab devices like those of the typewriters.

The concept holder drum together with its auxiliary devices / Fig. 1 / set according to the respective requirements according to three degrees of freedom will.

The movements of the document holder and the typewriter roller can are synchronized, both in terms of the rotary and the sliding movement. For this purpose or independently of it, the Eonzepthalterv orrichtung and the writing device can be assembled and formed as a unit.

The concept holder / Fig.l/ is relatively small due to his Dimensions are also well suited to portable designs, and you can easily do it trainable to dismantle. The drum K can further take apart and the Coat can be developed in one plane. An inflatable drum is also conceivable made of plastic or similar material.

When writing on a rigid surface, magazines, books etc. serve as concepts, the devices according to Fig.2, Fig.3 and Fig.3A can be used advantageously as a concept holder. The concept holder according to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 are an arrangement in the plane of the device according to Fig.l.

In Fig. 2, P means the concept that lies on the inclined plane K. Here, too, Z is a pointer Z in Fig. 1 corresponding Pointer, with its auxiliary pointer V. The pointer Z in Fig. 2 is fixed and the concept P is in front The pointer Z can be adjusted to different altitudes. the Movement of the concept P is caused by the ZapSen B, which is driven by the y-y axis is. The pin B is actuated from behind the front panel K and protrudes through the opening A. It is driven by hand by the heads D, which are arranged on both sides. or lever E, or with the help of a foot drive. The actuation can also be electrical take place.

Fig. 3 shows an arrangement similar to Fig. 2 with the difference that the concept P is at rest here and the pointer Z wanders past the concept.

Particularly heavy concepts such as books etc. Can be placed on holder C have a high load-bearing capacity / Fig.3 /. g With the concept holder according to Fig. 2 it can be uncomfortable that the full length concept paper P is in front of the pointer Z / in Fig. 2 / must be pulled out. This means that the holder is designed so high it should be that the paper is in full extent both before the start of the paperwork, as at the end of this rests completely on the Eonzepthilter. In this case it will the pointer Z is too high for the eye. That means that the concept holder will double The length of the concept paper plus the construction length that is still required. These Length is practically uncomfortable. In the case of the concept holder according to Fig. 3, on the other hand, which only have the length of the paper plus a length determined by the construction should, the pointer in its highest and lowest position is too high for the eye or too low.

If the two concept holders according to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 are combined in such a way that that the concept holder created in this way the two openings A in Fig.2 and Fig.3 and has two guide pins, this creates extremely favorable conditions, Such a device is illustrated in Figure 3A.

Here B1 is the paper support pin, B2 is the pointer support pin. Paper trunnion and pointer support pegs are coupled so that they both move into opposite directions at the same time direction move. If the pin B1 moves upwards with the paper, the movement then takes place of the X, rlpSens B2 and the pointer Z down. The consequence will be that around that To scan paper in its entire length, this only up to half its length has to be moved, because at the same time the pointer moves one eg half the length of the paper corresponds, moved down. The line of sight of the eye must be accordingly change less. The construction height of the device is then only the paper length plus a length determined by the construction.

The pegs Fig.2, Fig 3 and Fig. 3A can be replaced by corresponding magnetic devices are replaced.

Everything else follows analogously from the previous description.

All possibilities given in connection with Fig. 1 can can also be used accordingly for the arrangements according to Fig. 2, Fig. 3 and Fig. 3A.

When using the concept holder according to hbb.l, Fig.2, Fig.3 and Fig.gA there are various options available in combination with the typewriter To set up.

Fig.4, Fig ¢ 6 and Abbo7 show some of these possible combinations at.

It should be noted that in any combination, typewriters with Print head have a distinct advantage, as this is due to the way they are set up of the concept holder are not disturbed. This is because the platen protrudes from these machines does not protrude from the machine body.

Fig. 4 shows a machine writing device consisting of a writing head machine and a concept holder. The typewriter is in supervision, the document holder presented in aligned supervision. The two units are to be set up in such a way that that the text to be recorded and the typescript is at the same distance from the eye eye are.

Fig. 5 shows the same combination and setup as Fig.

4 with the difference that this is a Norgal typewriter S with keyboard T acts, in which the platen W from the typewriter body protrudes. However, as can be seen from Fig. 5, the concept holder K is designed in such a way that that the carriage including the platen has enough space behind, even when it is extended the concept holder has.

Ideal conditions can be created if the typewriter consists of three independent, non-positional parts. In this case it needs a writing instrument, a keyboard and a document holder.

Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 show of these three, completely independent from each other Split compound combination. In Figure 6, T is the keyboard, S is the writing mechanism without keyboard and K the concept holder. Keyboard T and writing mechanism can be electric or mechanically tied together. In this solution, the writing head machine again an advantage, because e.g. for the electrical actuation to connect the Keyboard with the writing unit, assuming a today's audition - only six electrical connections are necessary.

Fig.7 shows an arrangement where writing unit S and Eonzepthalter K simmetrically opposite the keyboard T, are arranged.

It goes without saying that in Fig.4, Fig.5, Fig.6 and Fig.7 instead of the sonic holder according to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 also the concept holder according to Fig.l can be used.

It remains to fix the concepts on the concept holder to speak. This can be done by means of very different mechanical devices. But surpasses all other possibilities, provided the concept holder is made of ferromagnetic Material is made using magnets. The magnets can be made from oblong or round pieces, or can be designed as longer or shorter strips will. The strips can also be used as paper guides. Holder for heavier ones Concept objects objects-such. B. Books, can also go through appropriately strong magnets are supported or held.

Are the concept holders not made of ferromagnetic material, but z. B. made of plastic, they can with a ferromagnetic cover be provided in order to be able to use fixing magnets. As pointer V in Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig.3, small magnets can also be used.

Another physical method for fixing the concept can be which will be electrostatic. Will a concept or a concept holder, or both of them, be electric charged, liability can be secured.

The fixation and management of the concept can also be done in such a way that that the concept is held between rollers and continued. To this end the paper of the drum K of the Abbol can be held with smaller rollers.

The drum K can be replaced by two smaller rollers or holders, between which the concept paper is stretched. Similar arrangements are also possible with the solutions of Fig.2, Fig.3 and Fig.3A. The concept paper in Figure 2 can e.g. be moved with a conveyor belt-like device adapted to the surface K. will.

With appropriately designed arrangements there is also a continuous one Feeding of the concept paper possible.
