Description

  The present invention links voice and other data to a book for reading and writing or a notebook for recording, and links visual recognition such as reading and writing as well as auditory recognition for uses such as storytelling and minutes. It is easy to understand and provides a more convenient form.

  Needless to say, vision and hearing are important for human beings, but considering the time axis as a stimulus to the brain, visual recognition and auditory recognition are integrated and synchronism is required.

  There are many media that can be enjoyed visually and auditorily, such as books and movies.

  Although movies are media that can be enjoyed both visually and auditorily, they require a well-equipped environment and are not easily used by individuals.

  Books are representatives of media that can be easily enjoyed by individuals. Various attempts have been made to provide auditory information at the same time as the visual information of a book.

  For example, picture books are an important pedagogical educational tool for young children, but for young children who cannot read letters, it is desirable to read and listen because they only follow the picture, so it is desirable to listen to them. A picture book attached with is also published.

  In recent years, electronic publishing has become popular, and naturally, publishing by voice that appeals to hearing is also provided and expected to spread.

  As described above, content that is expressed and provided by text, pictures, etc. by books can be provided by voice at the same time, but in either case, separate media corresponding to visual and auditory senses can be used. Yes, the user is required to synchronize in time while operating each media separately.

The same can be said for recording visual information and auditory information.
In recent years, it has become possible to record and playback both at the same time using an electronic camera, but for such playback, devices such as an electronic display, amplifier, and speaker are required, and they are always carried and used easily. It's hard to say that you can.

  The method of easy recording by individuals is to take a picture, write a memo, or record voice using a voice recorder, but in either case, separate media for visual and auditory senses. When recording is played back later, it is required to synchronize in time while operating each medium separately.

  To be able to enjoy the characters and pictures written in the book and the audio provided by media other than the book at the same time while synchronizing them in time without intentional separate operations.

  To enable simultaneous recording of text and pictures and audio recording on different media while synchronizing them in time without intentional separate operations.

  As described above, a book for obtaining visual information and a recording / reproducing apparatus for obtaining auditory information are integrated, and a specific page of a book is associated with an audio recording area to achieve time synchronization.

  In the present invention, a multi-page book on which characters and pictures are written is equipped with a housing containing a device capable of reproducing other data than reading, and at the same time the user reads the book while turning the page. For the purpose of reproducing a part of the data corresponding to the opened page, the detected means attached to a part of the paper constituting the book whose front and back are pages can be recognized by the detecting means in the housing did.

  Alternatively, according to the present invention, a multi-page book for writing characters and pictures is equipped with a housing containing a device capable of recording other data other than writing, and the user writes the book while turning the page. At the same time, for the purpose of recording different data corresponding to the opened page, the detection means attached to a part of the paper sheet constituting the book whose front and back are pages can be recognized by the detection means in the housing I made it.

  The detecting means and the detected means are a pair of a photo reflector and a reflective dog that can be recognized in a non-contact manner so that the user can naturally perform the operation of turning the pages of the book without any trouble.

  Further, for the same purpose, the detection means and the detected means are a pair of an RFID reader and an RFID tag that can be recognized without contact.

  Reading and writing are done visually, but the above-mentioned other data is used as audio data so that audio can be recognized, and audio can be played back or recorded with the book and the case integrated.

  The integrated book and case are separable as needed so as not to hinder the user from using only the book.

  According to the page-linked input / output device of the present invention, it is possible to recognize both visually and auditorily at the same time, making it easy to understand the contents of a book and more accurately recording. In addition, the user can create voice data with his / her favorite voice on a personal computer, etc., add background sounds, and transfer it to the storage device in the case, and send the user's message to the reader of the book. It is also possible to give a stronger impression.

Furthermore, the present invention can be realized without significant change in the existing bookbinding process because the detected means that detects the spread page without contact and arranges it on the paper sheet of the book does not require wiring.
As described above, the effect of the present invention is clear.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  1, 2, 3 and 12 show a first embodiment according to the present invention.

  The book 2 includes a front cover 23 and a back cover 24, and 16 sheets 22 of paper sheets 22 are bound by back spine 28. Paper sheets that are hard to bend are used. The size is assumed to be forty six.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a notch 2 a is provided at the edge of the edge 27 of the paper sheet 22 other than the front cover 23. The cutouts 2a are enlarged upward in order so that they do not overlap when each paper sheet 22 is closed.

  In FIG. 2, five sheets 22 including the front cover 23 are turned, and the eighth and ninth pages are opened. The front cover 23 and the back cover 24 are not added as pages.

  The band 2 having both ends fixed to the back cover 24 is hung on the casing 3 so that the book 2 and the casing 3 are integrated. At this time, although not shown in the drawing, it is needless to say that positioning is performed by a boss planted in the housing 3 and a hole or the like formed in the back cover 24 of the book 2.

  FIG. 3 shows a state where the housing 3 is disassembled. The housing 3 includes an upper cover 3a and a lower cover 3b, and accommodates a control board 4. The upper surface of the detection means storage unit 31 has a stepped shape along the notch 2a of the paper sheet 22, and a long hole 32 through which the light beam of the photo reflector 411 passes is formed on the upper surface.

  The same number of photo reflectors 411 as the paper sheets 22 are mounted on the control board 4 and fit inside the detection means storage unit 31. As a result, since the photo reflector 411 and the paper sheet 22 are in close contact with each other via the upper cover 3a, the presence or absence of the paper sheet 22 can be reliably detected even if the ear of the fore edge 27 of the paper sheet 22 is bent. In this example, 16 photoreflector pitches of 10 mm are arranged for a vertical dimension of 188 mm.

  In FIG. 2, since the five sheets 22 including the front cover 23 are opened, the detection outputs of the photo reflectors 411 from the fifth to the bottom are Hi, and the sixth and higher are Lo.

  In this way, the spread page is detected, and the storage device corresponding to the spread page is detected by the microcomputer 42, the storage device 43, the sound processing circuit 44, the reproduction amplifier 45, the speaker 46, and the microphone 47 mounted on the control board 4. The data with a string in 43 is reproduced or recorded in the storage device 43 as the data with a string.

  On the control board 4, a battery 48, a SW1 detection switch 49, a SW2 detection switch 50, a mode switching button 51, and a mode display lamp 52 are also mounted.

  The SW1 detection switch 49 detects that the book 2 is attached to the housing 3 and opens and closes the wiring between the battery 48 and the microcomputer 42. Therefore, when the book 2 is not attached, the control board 4 Does not work.

  The SW2 detection switch 50 determines whether the book 2 is open or closed. When the book 2 is closed even if the book 2 is attached to the housing 3, the microcomputer 42 sleeps. State. A mode switching button 51 and a mode display lamp 52 switch between playback and recording modes.

  Note that the RFID reader 413, which is one of the detecting means 41 in FIG. 12, does not exist in this embodiment.

  In this type, both tags and readers communicate using radio waves without an antenna, so the reading range 2c is very small as shown in FIG. 7, but the RFID tag 2b can be embedded in a paper sheet 22 and the page surface There are no traces. Twelve RFID tags 2b are arranged along a side of the forehead 27 at a pitch of 13 mm for twelve sheets 22 including a front cover 23 and a back cover 24.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, notches 2a are provided in each paper sheet 22 and RFID readers are arranged obliquely, corresponding to the reading range 2c.

  In FIG. 5, since the five sheets 22 including the front cover 23 are opened, the fifth RFID tag 2b from the bottom is not detected, and the sixth or more are detected.

  The photoreflector 411 of the first embodiment can detect only the presence or absence of a shielding object. On the other hand, when RFID is used, in addition to the presence or absence of the paper sheet 22, information on the book 2, such as a title, a book to be read, or In the second embodiment, the mode switching button 51 and the mode display lamp 52 are unnecessary because it is possible to detect whether writing or the like.

  Further, in the first embodiment, it is necessary to correspond one storage device 43 to one book 2. If the book 2 changes, it is necessary to update the storage device 43 by replacing, for example, an SD card. However, in the second embodiment, this is not necessary, and a plurality of books 22 can be handled with one SD card, for example.

  In FIG. 12, in the second embodiment, the photo reflector 411, the mode switching button 51, and the mode display lamp 52, which are one of the detecting means 41, are not present.

  8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 show a third embodiment according to the present invention.

  In the third embodiment, the detected means 21 and the detecting means 41 of the first embodiment are replaced with an RFID tag 2b and an RFID reader 413, respectively. The RFID used in this embodiment has an antenna and has an anti-collision function capable of reading a plurality of tags.

  Even in this type, a chip-shaped RFID tag 2b with a small antenna has been put into practical use, and the RFID tag 2b can be embedded in the paper sheet 22, and no trace appears on the page surface. Although not shown in FIGS. 8, 9, and 10, as in the second embodiment, the RFID tag 2b includes a front cover 23 and a back cover 24. Are arranged at a pitch of 13 mm.

  Further, since the plurality of RFID tags 2b above the RFID reader 413 are detected by the radiated radio wave from the antenna, there is no problem even if there is a paper sheet between them. It is unnecessary. In the third embodiment, when the book 2 is closed by the antenna 414 that is stretched over the outer shape of the RFID reader 413, all the RFID tags 2b are located in the antenna, and detection and reading are ensured. I have to.

  In the third embodiment, the RFID tag 2b is arranged linearly along the edge 27 of the paper sheet 22. However, since this type of RFID reader can widen the reading range by the antenna, the RFID tag It can be arranged not only along the 27 sides but also in the lateral direction, and can be handled in a wide range according to the size of the book 2 and the number of paper sheets 22.

  In FIG. 9, since the five sheets 22 including the front cover 23 are opened, the RFID tags 2b from the fifth to the bottom are not detected, but the sixth or more are detected.

  The photoreflector 411 of the first embodiment can detect only the presence or absence of a shielding object. On the other hand, when RFID is used, in addition to the presence or absence of the paper sheet 22, information on the book 2, such as a title, a book to be read, or In the third embodiment, the mode switching button 51 and the mode display lamp 52 are unnecessary because it is possible to detect whether writing or the like.

  Further, in the first embodiment, it is necessary to correspond one storage device 43 to one book 2. If the book 2 changes, it is necessary to update the storage device 43 by replacing, for example, an SD card. However, in the third embodiment, this is not necessary, and a plurality of books 22 can be handled with one SD card, for example.

  In FIG. 12, in the third embodiment, the photo reflector 411, the mode switching button 51, and the mode display lamp 52 which are one of the detecting means 41 are not present.

  The RFID tag 2b used in the second and third embodiments is a passive type and does not require a power source.

  In the above three embodiments, the detected means 21 and the detecting means 41 are arranged along the side of the forehead 27. However, in the case of a horizontally long book, the top 25 or the side of the ground 26 is arranged. Needless to say, it can be arranged. For the hearing-impaired, for example, data other than reading through tactile sense by vibration may be used, and recording / reproduction is not necessarily limited to voice.

  Although the three embodiments have been described above, for example, the photo reflector 411 and the RFID reader 413 may be mixed in the detection means, and can be freely changed without departing from the three configuration ranges. It is.

  As described above, the utility value and convenience of the book are greatly enhanced by the present invention, and it is widely used in all fields.
