In other words, on the modified keyboard menu screen G4, the key top areas (1) a to (6) a and the case surface areas (1) b to (6) of the search dictionary designation keys 44-1 to 44-6 are displayed. b and the contents of the menu {circle around (6)} am, the dictionary name described and designated in each area can be freely changed by a drag and drop operation, and each case surface area of the character / symbol input key group 44a. The function names and special characters described and specified in each area can be freely changed between L1-1 to L3-10 by dragging and dropping, and the dictionary name existing in the drop destination area in advance , Function names, special characters, etc. are dragged to that position by other dictionary names, function names, special characters, etc., and moved to other arbitrary areas. Divide. In the modified keyboard menu screen G4, the color of the name input area can be freely changed by designating the name input areas (1) to (4).
[0109]
Thus, on the modified keyboard menu screen G4, a desired modified display operation is performed for the key arrangement and the menu arrangement for designating each dictionary selected by the user (step C9), and the character / symbol input keys 44a. Simultaneous operation of the "function / code" key 44s performs a desired correction / addition display operation on the key arrangement for designating each function and special character input (step C10), and furthermore, a name input area (1) to (4). The designation of the name input color for ▼ is performed (step C11), and the characters of the name input (user name) are input (step C12).
[0110]
The key top areas (1) a to (6) a, the case surface areas (1) b to (6) b, and the case surface areas L1-1 to L3-10 on the modified keyboard menu screen G4 are displayed. For each dictionary name, function name, and special character that has been modified or added, for example, as shown in FIG. 14, any character modification (italic / bold line / underline / Frame, etc.) can be set.
[0111]
Then, on the modified keyboard / menu screen G4 of the user terminal 20, the data of the key arrangement (including character modification) and the menu arrangement for designating each dictionary that has been sequentially modified, added, and entered, each function, and special character input The data of the key layout (including character modification) for designating the name, the designation data of the name entry color for the name entry areas (1) to (4), and the data of the name entry character (user name) are stored in the manufacturing server 10 respectively. (Steps D8, D9, D10, D11).
[0112]
When the "OK" button is operated on the user terminal 20, it is determined that the correction / addition / input for the correction keyboard / menu screen G4 is "OK" (step C13), and the OK signal is output to the manufacturing server 10 (Step D12), the key top areas <1> a to <6> a of the search dictionary specification keys 44 <1> to 44 <6> set and the case surface area <1>. Each dictionary (including character modification) that functions in accordance with the specification of b to 6b, and each dictionary that functions in accordance with the specification of the menu content 6am by the "menu" key 44 6a Are corrected and registered as the key array contents 12b5 and the menu array contents 12b6 in the purchase information memory 12B associated with the customer ID 12b2 (step D13), and the correction / additional settings are made. Various functions and the contents (including character modification) of the input character code corresponding to the specification of the case surface areas L1-1 to L3-10 of the selected character / symbol input key group 44a correspond to the customer ID 12b2. The key arrangement contents 12b5 in the purchase information memory 12B are corrected and additionally registered (step D14). Further, the name input color and the name (user name) at the top of the key input area 44 corrected and input according to the correction screen G4 are the input color / name in the purchase information memory 12B associated with the customer ID 12b2. 12b7 is corrected, input, and registered (step D15).

Then, the key top areas (1) a to (6) a and the case surface area (1) of the search dictionary designation keys 44-1 to 44-6 registered in the key array contents 12b5 in the purchase information memory 12B. 7B based on the dictionary names respectively corresponding to ▼ b to ▲ 6 ▼ b, the function names corresponding to the case surface areas L1-1 to L3-10 of the character / symbol input key group 44a, and the special characters. ), A key input processing table in which dictionary names, function names, and special characters are associated with each key input area is created (step D16), and the menu contents (6) am registered in the menu array contents 12b6 Based on each dictionary name corresponding to each of the above, a menu processing table is created in which each dictionary name is associated with a menu list as shown in FIG. 7C (step D17).
[0114]
When creating the key input processing table (see FIG. 7B), the key top areas (1) a to (6) a, the case surface areas (1) b to (6) b, L1-1 The dictionary names, function names, and special characters associated with L3 to L3-10 are set and registered as the print content table 12d2 (see FIG. 6) of the corresponding electronic dictionary, and the print content table 12d2 further includes a user input. The set name color and the name character are registered.
[0115]
Then, based on the user-selected dictionary names, electronic dictionary hardware, key layout, and the created key input processing table, menu processing table, and data of each dictionary, a product ID 12e1 as shown in FIG. Then, a list table of the ROM write data 12e3 associated with the customer ID 12e2 is created (step D18).
[0116]
As a result, the ROM writing data 12e3 for registering the user-desired electronic dictionary hardware so that the user-desired dictionaries, functions, and special character inputs can be processed and registered as a key arrangement and a menu arrangement desired by the user are stored in the product ID 12e1. -Obtained for each customer ID 12e2.
[0117]
Then, the process proceeds to a process for creating case print data for laser marking in FIG. 10 and a process for creating key print data for laser marking in FIG. 11 (steps DE and DF).
[0118]
First, when the case printing data creation processing (step DE) for laser marking in FIG. 10 is started, the ROM writing data 12e3 selected by the user from the printing position table 12d1 (see FIG. 5) stored in the base model memory 12D. Case surface areas (1) b to (6) b, L1-1 to L3-10, and name entry area (1) of electronic dictionary hardware (for example, "with large screen sound") stored in association with customer ID 12e2. Each print position data corresponding to (4) to (4) is read (step E1).
[0119]
At the same time, the name input colors (1) to (4) and the name input data which are input by the user and set and registered in the print content table 12d2 (see FIG. 6) are read (step E2).
[0120]
Then, the marking target name input area No. = (1) is initially set, and the character pattern of the name input data (for example, “*** University”) corresponding to the specified name input area (1) (Fri) is set. It is read (step E4).
[0121]
The print position data (x coordinate (74), y coordinate (-14)) corresponding to the designated name input area (1) of the selected electronic dictionary hardware (for example, "with large screen sound") is displayed. The character pattern (designated character modification) of the name-inserted data (for example, “*** University”) is pasted to the corresponding position on the image for laser marking according to the print position data (step E5). .
[0122]
Then, it is determined whether or not the marking target name input area No. has reached the final No. (4) (step E6). If it is determined that the marking target name input area No has not reached the area (4), the target name input area No. For No, the next area No is designated and set to "(2)" (step E7).
[0123]
Then, the character pattern of the name input data (blank in this embodiment) corresponding to the newly specified name input area (2) (silver) is read (step E4).
[0124]

The character pattern of the name-inserted data (blank in this embodiment) is pasted at the corresponding position on the laser marking image in accordance with the print position data (step E5).
[0125]
Thereafter, the processing of steps E4 to E6 is sequentially repeated, so that each name read from the print content table 12d2 corresponding to the following name input areas (3) (red) and (4) (blue). Input data {circle around (3)} “Hanako.Yano” {circle around (4)} “−” Each character pattern is pasted at a corresponding position on the laser marking image according to the corresponding print position data.
[0126]
Subsequently, the dictionary names corresponding to the case surface areas (1) b to (6) b in the key input processing table stored as the ROM writing data 12e3 with the key arrangement corrected by the user (FIG. 7B ) Is read out (step E8).
[0127]
Then, the marking target case surface area No. = (1) is set (step E9), and the character pattern of the dictionary name (for example, “IT English-Japanese dictionary”) corresponding to the designated case surface area (1) b is read. (Step E10).
[0128]
Also, print position data (x coordinate (17), y coordinate (1)) corresponding to the designated case surface area (1) b of the selected electronic dictionary hardware (for example, “with large screen sound”) is stored. The character pattern (designated character modification) of the dictionary name (for example, “IT English-Japanese dictionary”) is pasted at the corresponding position on the image for laser marking according to the print position data (step E11).
[0129]
Then, it is determined whether or not the marking target case surface area No. has reached the final No. (6) (step E12). If it is determined that the marking target case surface area No has not reached the area (6), the target case surface area is determined. The next No is designated for No, and is set to "(2)" (step E13).
[0130]
Then, the character pattern of the dictionary name (for example, "Katakana dictionary") corresponding to the newly designated case surface area (2) b is read (step E10).
[0131]
The print position data (x coordinate (37), y coordinate (1)) corresponding to the designated case surface area (2) b of the selected electronic dictionary hardware (for example, “with large screen sound”) is stored. The character pattern (designated character modification) of the dictionary name (for example, “Katakana dictionary”) is pasted at a corresponding position on the laser marking image according to the print position data (step E11).
[0132]
Thereafter, the processing of steps E10 to E12 is sequentially repeated, so that each dictionary name (3) read from the key input processing table corresponding to each of the following case surface areas (3) b to (6) b. b “-” ▲ 4 ▼ b “four-character idiom” ▲ 5 ▼ b “Kojien field” ▲ 6 ▼ b “Calculator” Each character pattern (specified character modification) is laser marked according to the corresponding print position data Is pasted at the corresponding position on the image for use.
[0133]
Subsequently, each function name (dictionary name) corresponding to each of the case surface areas L1-1 to L3-10 in the key input processing table stored as the ROM writing data 12e3 after the key arrangement is corrected by the user, the special The character (see FIG. 7B) is read together with the function / character identifier (step E14).
[0134]
Then, the marking target case surface area No. = L1-1 is set (step E15), and the function name / special character corresponding to the designated case surface area L1-1 (in this case, the function name “German-Japanese dictionary”). Is read (step E16), and the setting contents (function) of the function / character are read (step E17).
[0135]
Here, it is determined whether or not the character pattern read out corresponding to the current case surface area L1-1 is set as a character (set as a function) (step E18).
[0136]
When the function is set as the function, the print position data of the function area (left side) corresponding to the designated case surface area L1-1 of the selected electronic dictionary hardware (for example, “large screen sound”) (X-coordinate (19), y-coordinate (1)) are read out, and a character pattern (for example, a designated dictionary) of the function name (for example, “Dictionary of monologue”) is placed at a corresponding position on the laser marking image according to the print position data. Character modification) is pasted (steps E18 → E19, E21).
[0137]
Then, it is determined whether or not the marking target case surface area No. has reached the final No. L3-10 (step E22). If it is determined that the marking target case surface area No has not reached the area L3-10, the target case surface area is determined. The next No is designated as No, and set to "L1-2" (step E23).
[0138]
Then, the character pattern (specified character modification) of the function name / special character (in this case, the function name “Japanese-German Dictionary”) corresponding to the newly specified case surface area L1-2 is read out (step E16). The setting contents (function) of the function / character are read (step E17).
[0139]
When the function is set as the function, the print position data of the function area (left side) corresponding to the designated case surface area L1-2 of the selected electronic dictionary hardware (for example, “large screen sound”) (X-coordinate (19), y-coordinate (15)) are read out, and a character pattern (for example, a designated monolingual dictionary) of the function name (for example, “Dictionary of monologue”) is placed at a corresponding position on the image for laser marking according to the print position data. Character modification) is pasted (steps E18 → E19, E21).
[0140]
