Description

input system

The invention relates to an input system according to the preamble of claim 1,

Input systems for creating analog and digital recordings are known in principle.

For example, input systems are known in which characters,

Hand sketches and the like are drawn by hand-held stylus on the surface of a tablet display, then in any form in a

Computer system for storage and / or further processing. The stylus used for this purpose does not issue any order in the application described.

The disadvantage here is to see that the recording only in digital or

electronic form is present.

By another system available on the market, it is now possible, in addition to a digital recording at the same time an analog or physical

Create record. For this purpose, the stylus is provided with a recording means dispensing mine, which records the information on a medium analog, but at the same time via electromagnetic pulses or capacitive changes on the display allows a digital recording.

The disadvantage here is to see that present as single sheets

Record carrier be brought in front of the display to the system. This creates individual sheets with recordings that are usually forgotten in disorder. In addition, in this way single sheets are only described or used on one side.

Organizer / calendars or spiral bound notebooks become manual

to keep track of appointments and meeting content in an organized way.

The disadvantage here is that you have to search on noted facts-even after years- many paper records manually search. The storage of older record books, ring binders is also bulky.

The object of the invention is therefore to provide an input system which does not have the disadvantages mentioned above and securely ensures both digital recording and analog recording on plain paper.

Furthermore, a simple and problem-free double-sided analog labeling of the recording medium is to be made possible.

In addition, it is an object of the invention that with the input system of

Record carrier is present as continuous recordings.

This object is achieved with the features of claim 1 and claim 8.

The input system according to the invention consists of at least one sensor board, at least one recording medium and at least one

Input Device / stylus.

The at least one sensor board is present either as a split into at least two virtual sub-boards, or as at least two separate sensor boards, wherein the at least two separate sensor boards on at least one side edge have means for mutual fixation.

In this case, it is possible to connect the at least two sensor boards in an articulated manner. Alternatively, the at least two sensor boards are present as separate parts, which are brought into abutment with one another at the time of the input or use on a side edge, wherein means for mutual non-shiftable fixation are attached to the sides.

Under sensor board are action or input surfaces to understand that have an electromagnetic field. If an input device / stylus with a coil approaches these surfaces with a trained electromagnetic field, the electromagnetic field of the surface is disturbed. The resulting

Defects are recorded as positions, input points or defined points (X, Y) on the surface. In this way, for example, analogously executed writing and drawing movements with an input device / stylus having a coil can be detected digitally by the sensor board.

Above or on the surface / input surface of the sensor board at least one multi-sided trained recording medium is arranged, which is designed as a spiral notebook, ring binder, folder, bound booklet, bound book, multi-page calendar and / or a Abreisblock.

With at least one input device / stylus can be connected via an analogue

Order function Characters or graphics no matter what kind on the

Record carrier be applied. In addition to this analog recording takes place simultaneously via the at least one input device / stylus a digital input via a digital input function / signal function on the sensor -Board, regardless of whether the arranged on the sensor board recording medium is multi-sided.

The analogue job function is realized and embodied via a writing unit held in the input device, wherein the writing unit is designed as a solid lead, a lead with paste and / or a lead filled with ink.

Examples include pencil or color pencil leads for solid mines called. Pastes with pastes can exist as a classic ballpoint pen refill or, in the case of ink, as a so-called rollerball pen.

It is important here that when creating analogue recordings with the input device / stylus the record carrier is secured against displacement on the at least one sensor board. For this purpose, means such as terminals, stops and / or adhesive surfaces must be formed on the sensor board to a

secure against displacement of the recording medium.

Simultaneously with the analog recording on the recording medium, a digital input function or signal detection takes place on the sensor board, which corresponds to the analog recording. This means that at the same time digital

Recordings / signals and analog recordings are recorded identically, and this not only one-sided but also double-sided on the at least one

Recording medium. Since the recording medium is a multi-sided system, such as a bound booklet, both front and back can be used for recording by turning pages. With it you have, as classically learned a bound booklet with analog content, as well as a continuous digital book in stored form. It is advantageous to look at the fact that paper is saved due to the double-sided use and that the handling including the

Archiving of single sheets can be omitted.

In order to enable or create a digital recording in book form, the processing system is provided on the sensor board via an input facility

indicated that a page break and / or flip has occurred. such

Input options are state of the art and will not be described in detail below.

The mentioned digital input function takes place via at least one

Input device / stylus, for example via a stylus based on a

so-called electro-magnetic resonance technology (EMR technology) or active electrostatic technology (AES technology).

The communication between stylus and sensor board is thus designed as EMR technology or as AES technology.

Using these two known technologies or others

Input technologies has been shown that a digital input / signal capture on the sensor board even if multiple leaves / pages of the

Record carrier are arranged one above the other on the sensor board.

The sensor boards are in some form known in the art associated with smart devices such as computers, tablet computers, notebooks and / or smart phones for transmitting the digital record. The data transmission can be done by cable and / or wireless.

In the input system according to the invention, it is to be regarded as particularly advantageous that the recording medium is designed as plain paper. The advantage here is that no expensive special paper, such as so-called DOT-paper with a "type" imprinted coordinate system must be used. Alternatively, the at least one sensor board-not as described above-can be designed as at least one capacitive, touch-sensitive display. In this embodiment, a digital input can be made on the display with a stylus and its use according to DE 10 2012 010 966. If a recording medium is now inserted between the display and the stylus tip, an analog recording on the recording medium and a digital detection on the capacitive, touch-sensitive display also take place at the same time. The at least one display can be an element of so-called smart devices in this embodiment.

The invention will be explained below with reference to Figures 1 to 4 on.

Figure 1: Two independently operating sensor boards for an inventive input system;

FIG. 2: input system with sensor boards according to FIG. 1 and inserted exercise book; Figure 3: Inventive input system of Figure 2 in the folded state;

FIG. 4 shows an alternative embodiment of an input system with a virtually divided sensor board;

FIG. 1 shows a sensor board 11 and a sensor board 12 of FIG

Input system 1 according to the invention, the sensor boards 11 and 12 being articulated by means of two connecting elements 13 arranged on the side edges 16. The sensor boards 11 and 12 are thus against each other

secured against displacement. On each of the sensor boards are located

Fixing devices 15 in the case of use also hold in a secure manner when arranged above the sensor board 11 and 12 recording medium (20). In the present embodiment, the sensor boards can be folded over the articulated connection 13 like a book, whereby the sensor boards 11 and 2 are also safely protected during transport.

The connecting elements between the sensor boards may alternatively be designed as plug-in system, film hinge, rubber-elastic compound and / or as an adhesive system. FIG. 2 shows an input system 1 according to the invention, comprising a board arrangement 11 and 12 according to FIG. 1 and a record carrier 20 which is inserted or set over the boards 11 and 12 and which is held or fixed in a secure manner via the fixing devices 15.

By means of an input device / stylus 30, which has a writing unit 31, analog recordings 21 with the writing unit 31 can be designed on the recording medium 20. Here, it is immaterial whether the records on the left or right side / sheet 201, separated by the buckling or waistline 22 of the booklet 20 done.

The analog recordings 21 are now also simultaneously in a

Input device / stylus 30 integrated EMR technology with coil 32 to the lying below the corresponding record carrier 20 sensor board 11, 12 transferred. It should be noted here that the technology and performance of the input devices 30, combined with high-resolution or highly sensitive sensor boards 11 and 12 has progressed so that the recording medium 20 has several

overlapping pages / sheets 20 can run to an analogue

Record 21 at the same time as digital recording / signal (14) in the sensor board 11, 12 to capture.

Here, the advantage of the input system according to the invention comes into play, which - as in the prior art - leaves in booklets can be labeled analogously double-sided and these analog labels are also digitally stored or recorded without leaves turned and positioned on the boards again need to be rearranged at a later date, or stapled and filed.

It should be noted that the sensor board must receive only one input command - the state of the art - when the recording medium is turned over, so that the digital memory file recognizes the book form and accordingly deposits. Thus, it is certainly prevented that, although analogously always new pages are described, digital but all the records are placed on one page. It has been found in a particularly advantageous manner that with temporary non-use, the input system 1, the sensor boards 11 and 12 are formed with inserted recording medium 20 collapsible. As a result, a very tidy and well-organized system 1 is provided, which is ready for use within seconds for further recordings of analog and digital type (21, 14). The folded state of the system 1 is shown in FIG.

Not shown is an embodiment in which the book covers the

Record carrier are designed as sensor boards.

FIG. 4 shows an alternative embodiment of the invention

Input system 1 shown and described. In this embodiment, only one sensor board 11 is used, which, however, can be virtually divided program-wise into two board halves 1 1 'and 12'. In this embodiment, a multi-sided record carrier 20 is fixed over the board halves 11 'and 12'. The construction is then in principle comparable with the functional system according to FIG.

Advantageously, the virtual dividing line 17 between the board halves 1 1 'and 12' is equal to the crease or collar line 22 of the recording medium 20.
