Abstract

The flat picture screen (1) fits in a robust housing (2), and a slot (3) is provided for the memory element (4). A compartment (5) is available for the battery, and operating components (6) for "on", "sheets forward", "sheets back", the zehner keyboard for indication of page count, an "enter" key and a "switch off" key are incorporated. Electronic circuitry is available for connection to public and private communication networks for receipt of data, and the appts. has a colour picture screen. ADVANTAGE - Joins certain advantages of paper with those of electronic media.

Description

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Information, die vielen Lesern zugänglich gemacht werden soll, kann sowohl auf Papier als auch auf elektronischen Medien verbreitet werden. Die gängigste Form ist immer noch das Papier, als Einzelblatt, Broschüre oder Buch. Vorteile sind die leichte Lesbarkeit, Transportierbarkeit und einfache Vervielfältigung. Insbesondere bei Printmedien, die einer häufigen Änderung unterliegen, ist die Ausgabe auf Papier teuer, erfordert erhebliche Verteilkosten und belastet die Umwelt. Handbücher für die Bedienung von Produkten können z. B. einen erheblichen Umfang annehmen, was ihre Handhabung sehr erschwert. Elektronische Medien dagegen sind sehr änderungsfreundlich, erfordern jedoch einen größeren Aufwand, um auf sie zuzugreifen und sie zu transportieren. Tragbare Computer, die dazu benutzt werden können, enthalten weitergehende Funktionen und sind deshalb allein zum Betrachten gespeicherter Information viel zu aufwendig, zu schwer und zu empfindlich.Information that should be made available to many readers can be used on paper as well as on electronic media to be spread. The most common form is still paper, as a single sheet, brochure or book. The advantages are the slight Readability, portability and easy duplication. Especially for print media that are subject to frequent changes subject to paper output is expensive, requires considerable distribution costs and pollutes the environment. Manuals for the operation of products can e.g. B. a considerable extent assume, which makes their handling very difficult. Electronic Media, on the other hand, are very easy to change, but they do require a greater effort to access and access them transport. Portable computers used for this can contain further functions and are therefore much to look at stored information alone complex, too heavy and too sensitive.

Erfindunginvention

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt nun die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Gerät zu schaffen, das als "elektronisches Handbuch" bezeichnet werden kann. Es soll einige Vorteile des Papiers mit den Vorteilen elektronischer Medien vereinen, ohne deren Nachteile zu übernehmen.The present invention is based on the object To create device called an "electronic manual"  can be. It is said to have some advantages of using the paper Combining the advantages of electronic media without the disadvantages take over.

Wesentliche Bestandteile sindEssential components are

  • - ein flacher Bildschirm,- a flat screen,
  • - ein kleiner und leicht wechselbarer Speicher,- a small and easily exchangeable memory,
  • - Mittel für die Funktionen "blättern" und zum Anspringen einer angegebenen Seitenzahl,- Means for the functions "scroll" and for starting one specified page number,
  • - netzunabhängige Stromversorgung.- Off-grid power supply.

Fig. 1 zeigt schematisch eine mögliche Ausführungsform der Er­ findung. Dabei bezeichnet (1) den flachen Bildschirm, (2) das robuste Gehäuse, (3) den Schlitz für das Speicherelement (4), (5) das Fach für die Batterie und (6) die Bedienelemente für "On", "Blättern vor", "Blättern zurück", die Zehnertastatur zur Angabe der Seitenzahl, die "enter"-Taste und "lösch"-Taste. Fig. 1 shows schematically a possible embodiment of the invention. Designated ( 1 ) the flat screen, ( 2 ) the robust housing, ( 3 ) the slot for the storage element ( 4 ), ( 5 ) the compartment for the battery and ( 6 ) the controls for "On", "Scroll ahead "," Scroll back ", the numeric keypad to specify the page number, the" enter "key and" delete "key.

Die Information, die mit dem "elektronischen Handbuch" gelesen werden soll, befindet sich auf dem einschiebbaren Speicherele­ ment, beispielsweise ein sog. "solid-state-disc". Sie wird in den dafür vorgesehenen Schlitz eingeführt und das Gerät über die "on"-Taste eingeschaltet. Automatisch erscheint auf dem Bild­ schirm der Titel des "Buches". Durch einen Druck auf die Taste "Blättern vor" erscheint das Inhaltsverzeichnis im Klartext mit Seitenangaben. Entweder durch weiterblättern oder gezielt durch Eingabe der Seitenzahl und Druck der Taste "enter", wird die ge­ wählte Seite auf dem Bildschirm angezeigt. Der Benutzer kann nun lesen wie in einem Buch aus Papier. Heute verfügbare Speichere­ lemente erlauben die Speicherung von mehreren Tausend Textseiten (A4) in eine solid-state-disc. Bilder und Grafiken können eben­ falls auf die gleiche Weise übermittelt werden, wobei diese ggf. komprimiert abgespeichert sind. Sie werden im Gerät dekompri­ miert, bevor sie am Bildschirm dargestellt werden. Ein farbiger Bildschirm der gleichen Bauart ist in der Lage auch farbige Bil­ der darzustellen.The information read with the "electronic manual" is located on the retractable storage element ment, for example a so-called "solid-state disc". She will be in the slot provided and the device over the "on" button switched on. Automatically appears on the picture screen the title of the "book". By pressing the button "Scroll ahead" the table of contents appears in plain text Pages. Either by scrolling through or specifically by Entering the page number and pressing the "enter" key, the ge selected page appears on the screen. The user can now read like a paper book. Storage available today elements allow the storage of several thousand text pages (A4) in a solid state disc. Images and graphics can if transmitted in the same way are stored compressed. You will be decompri in the device before they are displayed on the screen. A colored one The same type of screen is also capable of colored screens to represent the.

Mögliche Einsatzgebiete betreffen alles, was heute über Printmedien versorgt wird. Bildqualität und Bildschirmauflösung werden die möglichen Einsatzgebiete erweitern. Possible areas of application affect everything about today Print media is supplied. Image quality and screen resolution will expand the possible areas of application.  

Weitere Ausgestaltungsmöglichkeiten der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen erläutert. Sie betreffen zum Beispiel den Anschluß an elektronische Übertragungsmedien zur Aktualisierung des Speicherinhalts (aktuelle Zeitung über das Telefon), unterschiedliche Bildschirmformate und schwarz/weiß oder Farbe.Further design options of the invention are in the Sub-claims explained. For example, they affect the Connection to electronic transmission media for updating the memory content (current newspaper over the phone), different screen formats and black / white or color.
