Description

  The present invention relates to a writing order learning unit for learning the writing order of characters such as kanji.

  In recent years, with the spread of personal computers, word processors, etc., there are many cases where a character is specified by pressing a key corresponding to a desired character by a method such as romaji input or kana input on a keyboard to create a document. It is coming. Character input using such a keyboard is used not only for hiragana but also for kanji. By inputting a romaji or kana and pressing a conversion key, the kanji corresponding to the character is displayed.

  As described above, in recent document creation, the kanji of a character is displayed only by pressing a key corresponding to the desired character. In recent years, there is little work of actually writing a kanji by hand. As a result, it tends to forget the stroke order of kanji. However, the writing order of kanji is for writing kanji in a well-balanced manner and for rationally moving the pen, and cannot be neglected.

Therefore, systems for learning the writing order of kanji are disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2. In the systems disclosed in these Patent Documents 1 and 2, characters are written on a paper on which a plurality of dots are written using an electronic pen, and the locus of the pen is transmitted to a dedicated device or the like so that the writing order is correct. It is a judgment. The determination result as to whether the writing order is correct and the correct writing order are displayed on the display means. If this system is used, it can be determined whether the writing order of the Chinese characters actually written using the electronic pen is correct.

  However, in the conventional writing order learning system as described above, it is determined whether or not the writing order is correct after actually writing characters, and does not lead to the correct writing order before writing characters. Therefore, there is a problem that the writing order cannot be learned while actually writing characters.

  In addition, since characters are written on dedicated paper using an electronic pen and the writing order is correct and the correct writing order is displayed on the display means, the correct writing order is displayed on the display means. When writing characters according to the writing order, there is a problem that it is difficult to write the characters because it is necessary to write the characters while alternately viewing the paper on which the characters are written and the display means.

  The present invention has been made in view of the problems of the conventional techniques as described above, and is capable of learning a writing order while actually writing characters without making it difficult to write characters. The purpose is to provide a unit.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides:
A stroke order learning unit for learning the stroke order of a character having a plurality of strokes drawn with a single stroke,
A plurality of strokes, each of which is printed with an ink that develops a color only when light having different wavelengths is irradiated;
Light irradiation means for irradiating light having different wavelengths at predetermined time intervals so that the plurality of strokes are sequentially colored according to the character writing order on the character entry medium;

  In the present invention configured as described above, when light is switched from the light irradiating means to the character writing medium on which characters are written at predetermined time intervals, the light to be switched has a wavelength relative to each other. Since the plurality of strokes constituting the character are printed with inks that are colored only when irradiated with light having different wavelengths, the light irradiating means is different. Each time the light emitted from is switched, a plurality of strokes constituting the character are colored one by one. Here, in the light irradiation means, the light is switched and irradiated so that a plurality of strokes sequentially develop color according to the writing order of the characters. Therefore, each time the light emitted from the light irradiation means is switched, the character is changed. A plurality of constituent strokes are colored one by one in accordance with the writing order of the characters. Therefore, the stroke order of characters can be learned by tracing the colored strokes with a pen.

  As described above, since the writing order of characters is shown on the character entry medium on which the characters are actually written, the writing order can be learned while actually writing the characters without making it difficult to write the characters.

  As described above, in the present invention, a plurality of strokes constituting a character are printed on the character entry medium on which the character is written, respectively, with ink that develops color only when light having different wavelengths is irradiated, This character entry medium has light irradiating means that switches and emits light having different wavelengths every predetermined time so that a plurality of strokes are sequentially colored according to the character writing order. Since the character writing order is shown on the character entry medium, it is possible to learn the writing order while actually writing the characters without making it difficult to write the characters.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an embodiment of a writing order learning unit according to the present invention, where (a) is a diagram showing the overall configuration, and (b) is a configuration of the light irradiation device 20 shown in (a). FIG.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1A, a writing order learning sheet 10 that is a character entry medium in which characters for learning the writing order are written, and a light irradiation device that irradiates light to the writing order learning sheet 10. 20.

  On the stroke order learning sheet 10, characters for learning the stroke order are printed with ink that develops color only when light having a specific wavelength is irradiated. In this embodiment, the characters "woman" are printed. ing. The character “woman” is composed of a first stroke 11a, a second stroke 11b, and a third stroke 11c, each drawn with a single stroke, and is different for each of the first stroke 11a, the second stroke 11b, and the third stroke 11c. It is printed with ink that develops color only when irradiated with light having a wavelength. In addition, the stroke ID learning sheet 10 is printed at its end portion with a visible ink having a character ID 12 “A1234” that can identify the printed character “female”.

  As shown in FIG. 1B, the light irradiation device 20 emits light among a plurality of lamp units 21-1 to 21-n that irradiates light having different wavelengths, and the lamp units 21-1 to 21-n. An irradiation switching unit 22 for switching the lamp unit to be irradiated, a power supply unit 23, a timer 24, an operation unit 25, and a memory 26 are included.

  The timer 24 is for measuring the time after the light is irradiated from each of the lamp units 21-1 to 21-n, and the measured time is notified to the irradiation switching unit 22.

  The operation unit 25 is used to input the character ID 12 printed on the stroke order learning sheet 10 and includes, for example, a key button. It is also conceivable that the character ID 12 is printed as a barcode on the stroke order learning sheet 10 and a barcode reader is used as the operation unit 25.

  The memory 26 stores which lamp unit among the plurality of lamp units 21-1 to 21-n is irradiated in which order in association with the character ID 12 printed on the stroke order learning sheet 10. For example, in the case shown in FIG. 1 (a), the character “woman” is composed of a first stroke 11a, a second stroke 11b, and a third stroke 11c for each writing order. The lamp unit 21-1 is irradiated so that the first stroke 11a is colored, the lamp unit 21-2 is irradiated so that the second stroke 11b is colored, and then the third stroke 11c is colored. The order of irradiating the section 21-3 is stored in association with the character ID 12 “A1234” printed on the stroke order learning sheet 10. The lamp units 21-1 to 21-n and the color order IDs assigned to the ink for printing strokes on the writing order learning paper 10 respectively specify the lamp units that irradiate light and their irradiation order. Details thereof will be described later.

  The irradiation switching unit 22 refers to the memory 26, and in the order corresponding to the character ID 12 input via the operation unit 25, the lamp units 21-1 to 21-21 at predetermined intervals based on the measurement time notified from the timer. -Switch the irradiation of light from n.

  A method for producing the above-described stroke order learning sheet 10 will be described below.

  FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining a method of producing the stroke order learning sheet 10 shown in FIG.

  When producing the stroke order learning sheet 10 shown in FIG. 1, first, characters to be printed on the stroke order learning sheet 10 are input to an information processing apparatus (not shown) such as a personal computer and displayed on the screen (step). S1).

  Next, one of the plurality of strokes constituting the character displayed on the screen of the information processing apparatus is designated by clicking (step S2), and the stroke is printed on the stroke order learning sheet 10. Ink for designating is designated (step S3).

  And the process mentioned above is performed about all the strokes which comprise the character displayed on the screen of information processing apparatus (step S4).

  This series of processes is performed by a program for preparing the stroke order learning sheet 10 installed in the information processing apparatus. In this program, when a character to be printed on the stroke order learning sheet 10 is input to the information processing apparatus, first, the input character is displayed on the screen so that strokes constituting the character can be designated. . When a stroke is designated, a screen on which ink for printing the stroke can be designated is displayed on the stroke order learning sheet 10, and the designation of ink is accepted. The screen that can specify this ink displays a plurality of inks that develop color only when light having specific wavelengths different from each other is irradiated, and can specify the ink from among them. Ink cannot be specified. Thus, it is designated to print with a color ink only when a plurality of strokes constituting a character displayed on the screen of the information processing apparatus are irradiated with light having different wavelengths. In addition, in the ink displayed on the screen, a color ID is specified in order to specify which of the lamp units 21-1 to 21-21-n of the light irradiation device 20 emits light. Each is given.

  When the above-described processing is performed for all the strokes constituting the character displayed on the screen of the information processing apparatus, the print data including the designated stroke and ink for printing the stroke corresponds to the character. The ID is given and transmitted to a printer (not shown) (step S5).

  Then, in the printer, according to the print data transmitted from the information processing apparatus, the character for learning the writing order and the character ID 12 are printed on the writing order learning sheet 10 (step S6). As a result, the plurality of strokes constituting the characters printed on the stroke order learning sheet 10 are printed with ink that develops color only when light having different wavelengths is irradiated.

  In the information processing apparatus, the writing order of the characters input in step S1 is determined by referring to a database (not shown), and the coloring ID assigned to the ink designated for each stroke follows the writing order. In the state where the order is given, it is given to the light irradiation device 20 together with the character ID via a communication line or a magnetic recording medium. For example, in the case shown in FIG. 1A, the ink of the color development ID “0001” is designated as the ink for printing the first stroke 11a, and the color development ID “0001” is used as the ink for printing the second stroke 11b. If the ink of “0002” is designated and the ink of the color ID “0003” is designated as the ink for printing the third stroke 11c, the color IDs “0001”, “0002”, “ In the order of “0003”.

  In the light irradiation device 20, the given color ID and character ID are stored in the memory 26 in association with each other. Here, each of the lamp units 21-1 to 21-21-n of the light irradiation device 20 is provided with ink that develops color according to the wavelength of light emitted from each of the lamp units 21-1 to 21-21-n. The same color ID as the color ID is assigned. For example, in this embodiment, it is assumed that coloring IDs “0001”, “0002”, and “0003” are assigned to the lamp units 21-1 to 21-21-3 illustrated in FIG. For this reason, when the color development ID is given in a state in which the order according to the writing order is given, if the writing order learning paper 10 is irradiated with light in the order of the coloring ID from the lamp unit to which the color development ID is given, the writing order The strokes printed on the learning paper 10 are sequentially colored according to the character writing order.

  Below, operation | movement of the stroke order learning unit mentioned above is demonstrated.

  3 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the stroke order learning unit shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 4 is a view showing the state of the stroke order learning sheet 10 shown in FIG.

  When the character ID 12 “A1234” printed on the stroke order learning sheet 10 is input to the operation unit 25 of the light irradiation apparatus 20 (step S11), the memory 26 is first referred to in the irradiation switching unit 22, The coloring ID associated with the input character ID 12 “A1234” is searched. In the case shown in FIG. 1 (a), the character “woman” is composed of a first stroke 11a, a second stroke 11b, and a third stroke 11c in each writing order. The ink of color development ID “0001” is designated as the ink for printing the first stroke 11a, the ink of color development ID “0002” is designated as the ink for printing the second stroke 11b, and the third stroke 11c is designated. Assuming that the color ID “0003” is designated as the ink for printing, the memory 26 stores the color ID “0001”, “0002”, “0003” in the order of the character ID “A1234”. The coloring IDs are searched in the order of “0001”, “0002”, “0003”.

  In the irradiation switching unit 22, when “0001” is retrieved as the color ID, light is emitted from the lamp unit 21-1 to which the color ID “0001” is assigned among the lamp units 21-1 to 21-n. Such control is performed, and light is emitted from the lamp unit 21-1 (step S12).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 4A, among the first stroke 11a, the second stroke 11b, and the third stroke 11c printed on the stroke order learning sheet 10, the coloring ID “ The first stroke 11a printed by the ink with “0001” is colored. This is because the ink printed with the first stroke 11a is colored only by the light emitted from the lamp unit 21-1, and is associated with the coloring ID as described above. It is.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 4B, the first stroke 11a is entered by tracing the colored first stroke 11a with a pen.

  In the irradiation switching unit 22, the timer 24 is referred to, and when a preset time has elapsed since the light was irradiated from the lamp unit 21-1 (step S 13), the color development ID “ Control is performed such that light is emitted from the lamp unit 21-2 to which "0002" is given, and light is emitted from the lamp unit 21-2 (step S14).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 4C, among the first stroke 11 a, the second stroke 11 b, and the third stroke 11 c printed on the stroke order learning sheet 10, the coloring ID “ The second stroke 11b printed by the ink to which “0002” is applied is colored. This is because the ink printed with the second stroke 11b is colored only by the light emitted from the lamp unit 21-2, and is associated with the coloring ID as described above. It is.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 4D, the second stroke 11b is entered by tracing the colored second stroke 11b with a pen.

  In the irradiation switching unit 22, the timer 24 is referred to, and when a preset time has elapsed after the light is irradiated from the lamp unit 21-2 (step S15), it is specified by the character ID input in step S11. Whether or not there is a stroke following the stroke developed on the stroke order learning sheet 10 by irradiation of light from the lamp units 21-1 to 21-n is stored for the character ID input in step S 11. 26, it is confirmed whether or not there is a coloring ID that is not irradiated with light from the lamp unit (step S16), and the lamp unit 21-1 to the character specified by the character ID input in step S11. There is a stroke following the stroke developed on the writing order learning paper 10 by the light irradiation from 21-n. That case, the light from the lamp unit to which the color ID is assigned is performed controlled as irradiation. In this embodiment, light is not yet irradiated from the lamp unit 21-3 to which the color ID “0003” is assigned among the color IDs “0001”, “0002”, and “0003” retrieved from the memory 26. Control is performed so that light is emitted from the lamp unit 21-3 to which the color ID “0003” retrieved from the memory 26 is assigned, and light is emitted from the lamp unit 21-3 (step S17).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 4E, the coloring ID “" given to the lamp unit 21-3 among the first stroke 11a, the second stroke 11b, and the third stroke 11c printed on the stroke order learning sheet 10. The third stroke 11c printed with the ink to which “0003” is applied is colored. This is because the ink printed with the third stroke 11c is colored only by the light emitted from the lamp unit 21-3, and is associated with the coloring ID as described above. It is.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 4F, the third stroke 11c is entered by tracing the colored third stroke 11c with a pen.

  In addition, for the character specified by the character ID input in step S11, there is no stroke following the stroke colored on the stroke order learning sheet 10 by the light irradiation from the lamp units 21-1 to 21-n. Ends the process (step S18).

  In the irradiation switching unit 22, the timer 24 is referred to, and when a preset time has elapsed after the light is irradiated from the lamp unit 21-3 (step S19), the irradiation ID is specified by the character ID input in step S11. Whether or not there is a stroke following the stroke developed on the stroke order learning sheet 10 by irradiation of light from the lamp units 21-1 to 21-n is stored for the character ID input in step S 11. 26, and it is confirmed whether or not there is a coloring ID that is not irradiated with light from the lamp unit (step S20), and the lamp unit 21-1 to the character specified by the character ID input in step S11. There is a stroke following the stroke developed on the writing order learning paper 10 by the light irradiation from 21-n. If you, the color ID is light from a lamp unit which is granted control is performed as irradiation light is irradiated to the stroke order learning sheet 10 from the lamp unit (step S21).

  In this way, for the character specified by the character ID input in step S11, the stroke following the stroke colored on the stroke order learning sheet 10 by the irradiation of light from the lamp units 21-1 to 21-n. By repeating the above-described processing until there is no more, for the character specified by the character ID input in step S11, the strokes constituting the character are sequentially colored according to the writing order, and the writing order learning sheet 10 for entering the characters is written. The writing order of characters will be shown above.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the character writing order is indicated by sequentially coloring the strokes constituting the characters according to the writing order of the characters on the writing order learning sheet 10 on which the characters are actually written. Therefore, you can learn the order of writing while actually writing characters without making it difficult to write characters.

  In the present embodiment, since characters having a plurality of strokes are targeted as characters for learning the writing order, the lamp for the second stroke is irradiated after a predetermined time has elapsed in step S13 shown in FIG. However, after a predetermined time has elapsed in step S13 shown in FIG. 3 so that a single stroke character can be handled, the next stroke, that is, the second stroke exists, as in step S16.
