Description

  The present invention relates to an input electronic pen for recording handwritten information by an electronic pen as electronic data. The input pen has a plurality of writing bodies in the shaft body, and the writing on the paper surface by handwriting for each protruding writing body. The present invention relates to an electronic pen capable of obtaining handwritten information having digitized data that is consistent with data.

Conventional technology

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when handwritten information is input with consistency between color data on a paper surface written with a plurality of writing colors in an electronic pen and digitized color data, for example, a plurality of writing colors with one electronic pen. As an input of handwritten information, the color data to be digitized is switched by switching a switch installed in the electronic pen body, and the cursive text is changed to the same cursive color as the digitized color data. Things to enter handwritten information by exchanging and writing, for example, when writing in red, handwriting, red pen and electronic pen with red digitized data, blue input Like an electronic pen with blue cursive text and blue digitized color data, each electronic pen has a cursive text of the same color as the digitized color data, so that handwritten information can be input. Because the color de It has required the electronic pen of the number worth of data.

  However, in the above prior art, when one hand pen is used to express handwritten information of a plurality of colors, each time a plurality of handwriting is prepared and the handwriting is exchanged, A method for obtaining the consistency of the data of the cursive color and the color of the cursive and the electronic pen by switching the changeover switch provided on the pen, or one color of the cursive and the same color of the cursive It was necessary to prepare a plurality of electronic pens with color data set and to express handwritten information of a plurality of colors by changing the electronic pen every time the color was changed.

  The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-described problems, and is an electronic pen that includes a front shaft and a rear shaft, has a plurality of types of writing bodies, and stores handwritten information as electronic data. In the above, a switch is provided in the connection part for holding the cursive body, the cursive body is drawn out by operating a slider, a power battery and a CPU for performing various calculations are electronically transmitted to the rear of the rear shaft. A control board provided with a memory storing a program for converting to information is provided, and the control board and the switch are connected via a signal line, and the drawn cursive is drawn on the paper surface by the operation of the slider. When contacted, the cursive receptacle presses the switch, and information on the cursive that presses the switch via the signal line is transmitted to the CPU provided in the control board and stored in the memory in advance. It is to propose an electronic pen to convert the electronic information to information that cursive through the program to digitized.

  The electronic pen of the present invention has a plurality of writing bodies in the shaft body, and the writing bodies are urged rearward by a resilient member, but are attached to the rear end of the writing body. In a multi-core electronic pen in which the writing body protrudes from the shaft body by engaging the slider with the shaft body, a switch writing or replacement writing body can be prepared separately. Aligning the writing data with the data written on the paper with the data written on the paper by aligning multiple writing colors with a simple operation by switching the slider, without preparing separate electronic pens with multiple colors of information It becomes possible to input handwritten information with good characteristics.

1 and 2 show an example of the present invention. In the description of the present embodiment, the shaft main body 1 of the electronic pen is described using the terms front shaft 2 and rear shaft 3, but with the connection portion provided on the shaft main body 1 as a boundary, The side is described as the front shaft 2 and the upper side is described as the rear shaft 3.
1 and 2 are multi-core electronic pens in which two color ballpoint pens are slidably arranged. In this embodiment, a ballpoint pen is taken as an example, but not only a ballpoint pen but also a sharp pencil or the like may be used. Reference numeral 1 denotes a shaft main body, and the shaft main body 1 includes the front shaft 2, the rear shaft 3, the lid 4, and the sensor cover 5 as described above.

  The rear shaft 3 is formed with two slits 6 in the longitudinal direction. In this example, the two slits 6 are formed, but the number of ball-point pens that are cursives is two, and the number of slits varies depending on the number of cursives. is there. The slit 6 is formed up to one end of the rear shaft 3, and sliding grooves 7 (see FIG. 3) are formed on both sides of the slit 6. A leg portion 8 is formed in front of the rear shaft 3. Therefore, the number of legs 8 also changes depending on the number of cursive letters.

  A slider 11 is slidably disposed in the slit 6 of the rear shaft 3. Sliding projections 12 (see FIG. 3) are formed on both sides of the slider 11 in the longitudinal direction, and are slidably engaged with sliding grooves 7 (see FIG. 3) formed in the slit 6. is doing. Two release projections 13 and 14 are formed on the back surface of the slider 11 with a gap therebetween, and a switch 15 for detecting handwritten input is installed at the front end of the slider 11 to connect the sphere. A receiving connection 16 is formed. A cursive receptacle 17 such as a ball pen or a sharp pencil is movably connected to the connecting portion 16 by a spherical protrusion. The cursive receptacle 17 has a cursive body 18. It is connected. Reference numeral 9 denotes a repellent member such as a cursive body 18, a cursive body receiver 17 connected to the cursive body 18, and a coil spring that biases the slider 11 backward. As described above, the signal line 19 from the switch 15 that detects handwritten input is connected to the control board 20 through the inside of the slider-11 at the rear end of the slider-11. In the sensor cover 5, a piezo element 21 and an LED 10 for transmitting a handwritten input signal are installed. A battery 22 is disposed at the rear end of the shaft body 1, and a handwritten signal is transmitted to a receiving device (not shown) by an arithmetic device provided on the control board 20.

Next, the operation will be described. When a specific slider 11 is pressed forward (downward in the figure), the slider 11 moves forward with the writing body 18 while being guided by the slit 6 and the sliding groove 7, and the tip of the writing body 18 is the shaft body 1. It protrudes from the tip of. At the same time, the slider 11 is pushed into the shaft body 1, and then the rear end of the sliding protrusion 12 formed on the side surface of the slider 11 is engaged with the front end of the sliding groove 7. The retraction action of the cursive 18 is prevented. That is, by forming the sliding groove 7 only up to the middle portion of the slit 11, the slider 11 is also engaged.
Further, when handwritten input is made by the protruding cursive body 18, the cursive body receiver 17 to which the cursive body 18 is connected pressurizes the switch 15 by the force of handwriting input of the cursive body 18. The control board 20 detects the handwritten input from the pressurized switch 15, and the protruding cursive 18 is operated by the switch 15, and the control board 20 is activated by the switch 15, which cursive color of the cursive 18 It is determined whether the color data corresponding to the type of cursive font is set to a thickness or thinness, and handwritten input information that is consistent with the cursive writing information of the projected cursive text is received by the piezo element 21 and the LED 10. Sending to a receiving device (not shown).

  Next, when the writing body 18 is to be stored in the shaft body 1, the other slider 11 is pressed. When the other sliders 11 are pressed, the release protrusions 13 and 14 formed on the back surfaces of the sliders 11 collide with each other. Due to this collision action, the slider 11 in a pressed state is pressed toward the outer side of the shaft barrel main body 1, and the engagement between the sliding projection of the slider 11 and the sliding groove 7 is caused by this pressing action. The joint 16 is released, and the writing body 16 that is projected by the releasing action is retracted by the action of the elastic member 9 and is immersed in the shaft body 1.
