DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the bar code online machine of the present invention is a bar code input device 1.
1, a scan switch 12 and an indicator lamp 13, and a mobile phone output interface 21, a USB output interface 22, a liquid crystal display 23, a keypad 24,
And a changeover switch 25, and each of these parts is connected to the microprocessor 31 of the substrate inside thereof.

The bar code input device 11 is selected from a CMOS sensor, a CCD sensor, a CIS sensor, or a pen type bar code reader. When the scan switch 12 is activated, the bar code type HP address is read and converted into a digital signal. Further, it is transmitted through the microprocessor 31 and stored in the memory 32 or transmitted directly, and the reading completion is displayed by stopping the flashing of the indicator lamp 13.

The mobile phone output interface 21 is provided for connection with a mobile phone.

The USB output interface 22 is provided for connection with a computer or other peripheral equipment.

The keypad 24 is used to edit the code of the HP address data to be saved and to call the saved HP address data corresponding to the code to quickly go online.

The liquid crystal display 23 displays the HP address character code decoded by the bar code input device 11 or the character code set by the keypad and is used for operation.

The change-over switch 25 is used to change the input / output of data of the bar code input device 11 or the USB output interface 22.

As described above, when a preset code (that is, a defined hot key) is input through the keypad 24, HP address data corresponding to this code is transmitted through the microprocessor 31 and is taken out from the memory 32, and the micro address data is also retrieved. Achieves the function of accessing the HP through the transmission of a computer, a notebook computer, a PDA or a mobile phone through a network software driven browser provided in the processor 31 or directly checking the contents of an e-mail box in Outlook. it can.

In addition to the above, according to the present invention, the USB output interface 22 is switched by the changeover switch 25.
When the signal is input / output to / from the computer, the data stored in the memory 32 of the online machine is sent to the computer or the printer through the USB output interface 22, or the computer edits the edited HP address data. It is transmitted and stored in the memory 32 of the online machine.

Due to the above structure, the structure of the present invention is used as an E of the Win Drive application program when used.
-Combined with World Linker software,
After the completion of the primary installation, it is resident in the microprocessor 31 each time it is started up. For the operation flow, refer to FIG.

The functions of the E-World Linker are as follows. Network address decoding function: Decodes the data obtained by reading the barcode, translates it into the actual network address, and activates the browser to quickly display the H
P, for example shopping, going into a network business card,
Or drive Outlook to check the contents of the email box. Network address editing function: Call up an article book or other character editor, and save the network address commonly used by the user after editing (self-defined address code) so that it can be downloaded to the memory of this network address, or after editing Have the printer print it as a barcode for translation. Print function: Allows the user to print the HP address bar code by an inkjet printer or other printers, and easily store it under the bar code.
A P address or a representative code is added for later identification. Address download / upload function: The user downloads the address contents after editing with the network address editor to the online machine or uploads to the computer, and the LED lamp flashes during operation, and stops flashing after the work is completed.

When the above structure is used in combination with the software function of the microprocessor, first, the keypad 24 is used.
00-99 in (3 * 4 matrix array type in this embodiment)
After setting an arbitrary set of codes (for example, 01) out of 100 sets, the set key is further pressed. At this time, the LED
The indicator lamp 13 starts flashing. After the barcode input device 11 completes reading the barcode address, the indicator lamp 13 is stopped and the network address is stored in the memory 32.
Stored in. The structure of the present invention is the output interface 21.
Alternatively, when the keys 22 and 22 are connected to the mobile phone or the computer and then the 0 and 1 keys are pressed, the microprocessor 31 fetches the corresponding network address data from the memory 32, and drives the browser program to promptly set the network address. enter in. 0 apart
To delete the setting of 1, just press the clear key, and the network address data stored in the 01 code address will be deleted.

The hot key composed of the binary digital code of the present invention allows those who are not familiar with computers to be agile online, and is suitable for the trend of electronic commercial activities such as network shopping. To increase.

Similarly, according to the present invention, a set of codes can be set to drive the outlook to check the contents of the e-mail box, or as a business card book, a network bar code is stored after reading the ID of the electronic business card. Or you can check your company's memory code, or you can scan the bar code on the business card directly, you can enter the HP and see the related files, which bother you to organize your business card or carry your business card. Get rid of things.

Further, when connecting the computer with the USB output interface 22, the address data edited by the computer can be downloaded and stored in the memory of the online machine, or the network address data in the memory 32 can be transmitted to the computer for editing. Or you can save it.

In addition, the present invention also includes a microprocessor 3 as shown by the dotted blocks in FIGS.
It can be combined with the trackball input device 41 and / or the infrared transmitter 42 connected to 1, i.e., as a complete infrared remote control bar code online machine, combined with the current online television, the contents can be modified by remote control at any time. It is personalized.

[0026]

In summary, the bar code online machine of the present invention surely achieves the expected function and purpose,
It can enhance the fashion and industrial value of E-Commerce.
That is, the present invention meets the patent requirements.
