<First Embodiment>
First, a first embodiment according to the present invention will be described.

[Configuration of information processing system]
FIG. 1 shows a configuration of an information processing system according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the information processing system includes an electronic pen 1 used by a user, a computer device 2 that receives and processes entry information from the electronic pen 1, and a dot pattern (coded pattern). The timetable 3, a plurality of notebook papers 4 each formed with a dot pattern (coded pattern) having a different coordinate range, a heading paper 5 for separating the notebook paper 4 by subject, the timetable 3, and the notebook paper 4 And a multi-hole file 6 for binding the header sheet 5 and a printer 7 for printing the timetable 3 in accordance with a print instruction (output command) from the computer apparatus 2.

  The timetable 3 is a table in which lecture subjects are associated with a plurality of time periods on a plurality of days of the week, and a dot pattern is formed in the subject portion. Specifically, in the timetable 3, dot patterns (coded patterns) having different coordinate ranges are formed for each subject. The dot pattern is printed with ink containing carbon that absorbs infrared rays. On the other hand, subject names, frame lines, and the like are printed with ink that does not absorb in the infrared region. In the timetable 3, holes for binding by the multi-hole file 6 are formed. The timetable 3 is created by the computer apparatus 2 supplying a print instruction (output command) to the printer 7 in response to a user input (details will be described later). The timetable 3 in the completed state is described.

  The plurality of notebook sheets 4 correspond to so-called loose leaves, and the contents corresponding to the subject (for example, contents obtained by copying a board written in a lecture) are filled in with the electronic pen 1. The plurality of notebook papers 4 are formed with dot patterns (coded patterns) having different coordinate ranges, and the coordinate ranges are different from the dot patterns used in the timetable 3. The dot pattern is printed with ink containing carbon that absorbs infrared rays. Further, the plurality of notebook papers 4 are formed with holes for binding by the multi-hole file 6. In this embodiment, the dot pattern is based on the Anoto method, but other coding patterns may be used.

  The computer device 2 includes a processor such as a CPU, a memory such as a ROM and a RAM, a display, etc., and receives entry information from the electronic pen 1 and performs various processes. For example, the computer apparatus 2 includes a tablet PC such as “iPad (registered trademark)”.

  Here, a usage form of the information processing system as shown in FIG. 1 will be briefly described. The user inputs the name of the subject of the lecture to be held at each time period of each day of the week (hereinafter referred to as “subject name” as appropriate) to the computer device 2. The computer device 2 stores coordinate definition information regarding dot patterns (dot patterns having different coordinate ranges for each subject) assigned to each subject, and the subject name and each subject input by the user based on the coordinate definition information A printing instruction for printing the dot pattern assigned to the time table 3 as a time table 3 is output to the printer 7. The printer 7 prints the timetable 3 based on the print instruction from the computer device 2. Note that the above “subject name (subject name)” includes not only the official name of the subject but also the abbreviation of the subject (for example, “present company (modern society)”).

  Next, the usage form of the timetable 3 printed in this way will be described. The user taps the subject portion of the timetable 3 with the electronic pen 1, and at this time, the computer device 2 opens the file for the subject tapped with the electronic pen 1. The file is for storing handwritten strokes entered on the note paper 4 by the user with the electronic pen 1 for each subject, and there are as many subjects as there are lectures. When the computer device 2 opened the file as described above, the handwritten stroke entered for the subject of the file was entered on a predetermined page of the notebook paper 4 (for example, the last page on which the handwritten stroke was entered). The handwritten stroke is displayed on the display. Further, the user enters a handwritten stroke on the notebook paper 4 with the electronic pen 1. At this time, the computer apparatus 2 draws the handwritten stroke entered by the user on the display, and stores the handwritten stroke in the file opened as described above.

[Dot pattern]
The Anoto dot pattern formed on the timetable 3 and the note paper 4 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the relationship between the dots of the dot pattern formed on the timetable 3 and the note paper 4 and the values to which the dots are converted. As shown in FIG. 2, each dot of the dot pattern is associated with a predetermined value depending on its position. That is, each dot is associated with a value of 0 to 3 depending on which direction the top, bottom, left, or right is shifted from the reference position of the virtual grid (the intersection of the vertical and horizontal lines). The value of each dot can be further converted into a first bit value for the X coordinate and a second bit value for the Y coordinate. The position coordinates on the timetable 3 and the notebook paper 4 are determined by the combination of information thus associated.

  FIG. 3A shows an arrangement of a certain dot pattern. As shown in FIG. 3 (a), 6 × 6 dots within a range of about 2 mm in length and breadth form a unique pattern no matter which part of the timetable 3 or notebook paper 4 is taken 6 × 6 dots. Are arranged as follows. The dot pattern formed by these 36 dots holds position coordinates (for example, where the dot pattern is on the timetable 3 or the notebook paper 4). FIG. 3B is a diagram in which each dot shown in FIG. 3A is converted into a value associated with the regularity shown in FIG. 3 according to the shift direction from the reference position of the lattice. This conversion is performed by the electronic pen 1 that captures an image of a dot pattern.

[Electronic pen]
Next, the electronic pen 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing the structure of the electronic pen 1. 4, the electronic pen 1 includes an ink cartridge 104, an LED 105, a CMOS camera 106, a pressure sensor 107, a processor 108 including a CPU, a memory 109 such as a ROM and a RAM, A communication unit 111 including a real-time clock 110, an antenna, and the like, and a battery 112 are provided. The tip of the ink cartridge 104 is a pen tip portion 103, and the user touches the pen tip portion 103 of the electronic pen 1 against the notebook paper 4 to enter a stroke (handwritten stroke) or the electronic pen 1. The pen nib portion 103 is brought into contact with the timetable 3 and tapped (tapping the timetable 3 with the nib 103). In this specification, the tap with the electronic pen 1 is also included in the concept of “entry”. Here, the contact of the pen tip portion 103 of the electronic pen 1 with the timetable 3 or the notebook paper 4 is referred to as “pen down”, and the pen up portion 103 is separated from the contact (contact) state. Call it. A trajectory written between the pen-down and pen-up of the electronic pen 1 is one stroke, and characters, figures, etc. are composed of one or a plurality of strokes. Since the ink of the ink cartridge 104 does not include a material that absorbs infrared rays, the reading of the dot pattern by the processor 103 is not hindered.

  The battery 112 is for supplying electric power to each component in the electronic pen 1. For example, the battery 112 is configured to turn on / off the electronic pen 1 itself by attaching and detaching a cap (not shown) of the electronic pen 1. May be. The real time clock 110 transmits time information indicating the current time (time stamp) and supplies the time information to the processor 108. The pressure sensor 107 detects the pressure applied through the ink cartridge 104 from the pen tip portion 103 when the user writes characters or marks on the notebook paper 4 with the electronic pen 1 or taps the timetable 3, that is, the writing pressure. The value is transmitted to the processor 108.

  The processor 108 switches on / off the switches of the LED 105 and the CMOS camera 106 based on the writing pressure data supplied from the pressure sensor 107. That is, when the user writes characters or the like on the notebook paper 4 with the electronic pen 1 or taps on the timetable 3, the pen pressure is applied to the pen tip portion 103, and the pressure sensor 107 detects a writing pressure higher than a predetermined value. On the other hand, the processor 108 determines that the user has started filling in and activates the LED 105 and the CMOS camera 106. Then, the communication unit 111 associates the pen-down information PD detected by the pressure sensor 107 with a pen ID described later, and transmits it to the computer apparatus 2 as entry information. Further, when the user finishes entering one stroke and moves the electronic pen 1 away from the timetable 3 or the notebook paper 4, the pressure sensor 107 detects a pen-up because no writing pressure exceeding a predetermined value is detected. Then, the communication unit 111 associates the pen-up information detected by the pressure sensor 107 with the pen ID, and transmits it to the computer apparatus 2 as entry information.

  The LED 105 and the CMOS camera 106 are attached near the pen tip portion 103 of the electronic pen 1, and an opening 102 is formed in a portion of the housing 101 that faces the LED 105 and the CMOS camera 106. The LED 105 illuminates infrared rays toward the vicinity of the pen point portion 103 on the timetable 3 and the notebook paper 4. The region is slightly deviated from the position where the pen tip 103 contacts the timetable 3 or the note paper 4. The CMOS camera 106 captures a dot pattern in the area illuminated by the LED 105 and supplies image data of the dot pattern to the processor 108. Here, since carbon absorbs infrared rays, the infrared rays irradiated by the LED 105 are absorbed by the carbon contained in the dots. Therefore, the dot portion has a small amount of infrared reflection, and the portion other than the dot has a large amount of infrared reflection. By photographing with the CMOS camera 106, a threshold value is provided based on the difference in the amount of reflected infrared light, so that a dot region containing carbon can be distinguished from other regions. Therefore, even when characters, frame lines, or the like are printed on the timetable 3 or the notebook paper 4, the processor 108 can recognize the dot pattern because the printed ink does not absorb in the infrared region. Note that the shooting area by the CMOS camera 106 is a range including a size of about 2 mm × about 2 mm as shown in FIG. 3A, and the shooting by the CMOS camera 106 is performed at regular intervals of about 50 to 100 times per second. Is called. Further, the CMOS camera 106 has a sufficient depth of field in order to photograph dots clearly.

  The processor 108 performs X and Y coordinates (hereinafter referred to as “time table 3” and “notebook 4” on the timetable 3 of the stroke (handwriting) to be entered by the user from the dot pattern of the image data supplied by the CMOS camera 106 during the user entry. Simply referred to as “positional coordinates” or “coordinate information”). That is, the processor 108 converts the image data of the dot pattern as shown in FIG. 3A supplied by the CMOS camera 106 into the data array shown in FIG. The data is converted into a Y coordinate bit value, and X and Y coordinate data are calculated from the data array by a predetermined calculation method. Note that the processor 108 has a rotation correction processing function for correcting the arrangement of dots on the image due to the angle of the electronic pen 1 facing the dot pattern, and this function is exhibited during the coordinate calculation. Then, the processor 108 associates the current time (time stamp: entered time information) transmitted from the real-time clock 110, writing pressure data, and X and Y coordinate data. Hereinafter, these associated data are collectively referred to as “coordinate attribute information”. Since the 6 × 6 dot pattern in the timetable 3 and the notebook paper 4 does not overlap in the timetable 3 and the notebook paper 4, when the user enters characters or the like with the electronic pen 1, It is possible to specify the position on the timetable 3 or the note paper 4 by coordinate calculation by the processor 108.

  The memory 109 stores property information such as a pen ID such as “pen01” for identifying the electronic pen 1, a pen manufacturer number, and a pen software version. Then, the communication unit 111 associates the pen ID, time information (time stamp), writing pressure data, and X and Y coordinate data, and transmits them to the computer apparatus 2 as entry information. Transmission to the computer apparatus 2 by the communication unit 111 is performed immediately and sequentially by wireless transmission such as Bluetooth (registered trademark). Here, one or a plurality of coordinate attribute information generated between the pen-down and pen-up of the electronic pen 1 and transmitted to the computer device 2 is stored as stroke information by the computer device 2. In other words, one stroke is made up of one or a plurality of X, Y coordinates (coordinate points), and the computer apparatus 2 can use one or a plurality of pieces constituting one stroke based on the pen-down information and the pen-up information. Recognize coordinate attribute information. As described above, a set of coordinate attribute information generated by the electronic pen 1 when the user enters one stroke is referred to as “stroke information”.

[Computer device]
Next, the computer apparatus 2 will be described. The computer device 2 includes, as hardware, an antenna device capable of data communication with the electronic pen 1, a processor such as a CPU, a memory such as ROM and RAM, a display, a personal computer including a mouse and a keyboard, and the like. . FIG. 5 is a functional block diagram of the computer apparatus 2. Functionally, the computer apparatus 2 includes an input unit 21, a communication unit 22, a processing unit 24, a storage unit 25, a display unit 26, and a print output unit 27.

  The input means 21 includes a mouse and a keyboard for inputting various commands and data. When the display unit 26 is a touch panel system, the touch panel provided on the display screen of the display unit 26 also functions as the input unit 21. The communication means (reception means) 22 is configured by an antenna reception circuit or the like, receives entry information from the electronic pen 1, and transmits it to the processing means 24. The display means 26 is constituted by a display or the like, and displays the contents instructed by the processing means 24. The print output unit 27 transmits the print instruction (output command) for the timetable 3 from the processing unit 24 to the printer 7. The data transmission method to the printer 7 may be wired or wireless.

  The storage means 25 is configured by a memory such as a hard disk, ROM, or RAM. In the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the storage unit 25 associates a plurality of subjects to be lectured with the coordinate ranges of dot patterns assigned to each of the subjects. Coordinate definition information (definition information) is stored. Specifically, the storage means 25 stores a coordinate range of dot patterns that differ for each subject. The coordinate range of the dot pattern is defined by the position coordinates (Xn, Yn), height (H), and width (W) of the corners of the rectangle (the same applies hereinafter). The storage unit 25 also stores coordinate definition information indicating the coordinate range of the dot pattern assigned to each of the plurality of notebook papers 4. Specifically, the storage unit 25 stores a coordinate range of dot patterns that differ for each notebook paper 4.

  Further, the storage means 25 stores the entry information received from the electronic pen 1 for each pen ID according to the processing instruction of the processing means 24, and further secures a storage area according to the instruction of the processing means 24, and from the pen down to the pen. The coordinate attribute information included in the entry information until the up is stored as stroke information for each pen ID. Specifically, the storage unit 25 stores handwritten strokes written on the notebook paper 4 by the electronic pen 1 for each file corresponding to each of a plurality of subjects. In addition to the above, the storage unit 25 stores various information generated by the execution of the program according to instructions from the processing unit 24.

  The processing means 24 is constituted by a processor such as a CPU and controls the entire computer apparatus 2. Specifically, the processing unit 24 includes an input screen display unit 241, a print instruction unit 242, a determination unit 243, a storage instruction unit 244, a stroke display unit 245, and a notification unit 246.

  The input screen display unit 241 causes the display unit 26 to display an input screen for allowing the user to input subjects for a plurality of time periods on a plurality of days of the week. Using such an input screen, the user inputs a subject to be lectured for each time period of each day of the week. The print instruction unit 242 supplies the print output unit 27 with a print instruction for printing the timetable 3 according to the subject input by the user using the input screen. Specifically, the print instructing unit 242 determines each of the subjects input for each of a plurality of time periods on a plurality of days of the week on the input screen based on the coordinate definition information stored in the storage unit 25 as illustrated in FIG. A print instruction for printing the dot pattern assigned to, and the subject names input for each of a plurality of time periods on a plurality of days of the week as the timetable 3 is output.

  Based on the entry information received from the electronic pen 1 by the communication means 22, the determination means 243 determines which of the timetable 3 and the notebook paper 4 has been filled in (including both taps and strokes) by the electronic pen 1. To do. Specifically, the determination unit 243 includes coordinate definition information stored in the storage unit 25 (specifically, coordinate definition information indicating coordinate ranges of dot patterns assigned to the plurality of notebook papers 4, and a plurality of pieces of coordinate definition information). By referring to the coordinate definition information indicating the coordinate range of the dot pattern assigned to the subject, it is determined which of the subject of the timetable 3 and the note paper 4 has been entered by the electronic pen 1. When the determination unit 243 determines that the subject of the timetable 3 is entered with the electronic pen 1, the subject is specified. Specifically, the determination unit 243 associates a plurality of subjects and the coordinate range of the dot pattern stored in the storage unit 25 when the user taps on the subjects in the timetable 3 with the electronic pen 1. By referring to the coordinate definition information, the subject tapped by the electronic pen 1 is specified. Thus, the determination unit 243 corresponds to an example of “subject specifying unit” in the present invention.

  On the other hand, when the determination unit 243 determines that the note paper 4 has been filled in with the electronic pen 1, the determination unit 243 determines whether or not the note paper 4 is a new note paper 4. In other words, the determination unit 243 determines whether the notebook paper 4 filled with the electronic pen 1 is the notebook paper 4 on which the handwritten stroke has already been written, or the notebook paper 4 on which the handwritten stroke has not yet been written. To do. In this case, the determination unit 243 determines whether or not the file stored by the save instruction unit 244, which will be described later, includes data on the notebook paper 4 in which the handwritten stroke is written by the electronic pen 1. Make a decision.

  The storage instruction unit 244 stores the handwritten stroke entered with the electronic pen 1 in the storage unit 25 as a file associated with the subject specified by the determination unit 243. Specifically, the save instruction unit 244 stores the handwritten stroke entered on the note paper 4 in the storage unit 25 in association with the page of the note paper 4. In this case, when it is determined by the determination means 243 that the handwriting stroke has been entered in the notebook paper 4 on which the handwriting stroke has already been entered, the storage instruction means 244 is newly entered on the page of the notebook paper 4. Overwrite handwritten strokes and store them. On the other hand, if the determination unit 243 determines that the handwritten stroke has been entered in the notebook paper 4 on which the handwritten stroke has not yet been entered, the save instruction unit 244 continues to the page stored in the currently opened file. Then, a new page corresponding to the note paper 4 is created, and the handwritten stroke is associated with the new page and stored in the storage unit 25. Note that, when there is no file corresponding to the subject specified by the determination unit 243, the save instruction unit 244 creates a new file associated with the subject.

  The stroke display means 245 opens a file associated with the subject specified by the determination means 243 when the user taps on the subject in the timetable 3 with the electronic pen 1, and displays the handwritten stroke stored in the file. 26 is displayed. In this case, the stroke display unit 245 causes the display unit 26 to display a predetermined page (for example, the last page) among the pages stored in the file. The stroke display means 245 causes the display means 26 to display the handwritten stroke when the handwritten stroke is entered on the notebook paper 4. Specifically, the stroke display means 245 stores the page corresponding to the note paper 4 when the judgment means 243 determines that the handwriting stroke has been entered on the note paper 4 on which the handwritten stroke has already been entered. The file is opened, a page corresponding to the note paper 4 is displayed, and a handwritten stroke is drawn on the page. On the other hand, if the determination means 243 determines that the handwritten stroke has been entered in the notebook paper 4 on which the handwritten stroke has not yet been entered, the stroke display means 245 continues to the page stored in the currently opened file. A new page to be displayed is displayed, and a handwritten stroke is drawn on the page.

  When the determination unit 243 determines that the handwritten stroke has been entered in the notebook paper 4 on which the handwritten stroke has not yet been entered, the notifying unit 246 determines that the file has not been opened (that is, to the timetable 3 by the electronic pen 1). If no subject is designated by tapping, the user is notified that the subject has not been designated.

[How to create a timetable]
Next, with reference to FIG.7 and FIG.8, the preparation method of the timetable 3 which concerns on this embodiment is demonstrated concretely.

  FIG. 7 shows an example of an input screen displayed by the input screen display unit 241. As shown in FIG. 7, the input screen display means 241 mainly includes a plurality of input fields 41 for inputting subjects for each time period of each day of the week, and a registration button 42 for registering the inputted subjects. An input screen having a clear button 43 for erasing all inputted subjects is displayed on the display means 26.

  The user uses the input means 21 such as a keyboard to input a subject by key input in each input field 41. And after inputting a subject into all the input fields 41, a user clicks the registration button 42 with a mouse | mouth, or touches it with a touch panel. Thereby, the subject inputted in each input column 41 is registered. On the other hand, when the clear button 43 is clicked with the mouse or touched with the touch panel, the subject entered in each input field 41 is deleted.

  FIG. 8 shows an example of the timetable 3 printed according to the subject entered on the input screen as described above. It is assumed that the timetable 3 is printed after the registration button 42 is selected on the input screen (that is, after the entered subject is registered).

  As shown in FIG. 8, in the portion indicated by the broken line area A <b> 1, for each time period of each day of the week, the subject name input by the user using the input screen and the different coordinate ranges assigned to each subject The dot pattern is printed. Specifically, the subject name is printed inside the rectangle indicated by the frame, and the dot pattern in the coordinate range assigned to the subject is printed. In this case, a dot pattern in the same coordinate range is printed at a place where the same subject name is printed. Further, characters and frame lines indicating the day of the week and the time limit are printed in the portion indicated by the broken line area A2. The dot pattern is printed with ink containing carbon that absorbs infrared rays, and characters and frame lines indicating the subject name, day of the week, time limit, and the like are printed with ink that does not absorb in the infrared region.

  Such a timetable 3 is printed by the printer 7 in accordance with the print instruction generated by the print instruction unit 242. Based on the coordinate definition information (see FIG. 6) stored in the storage unit 25, the print instruction unit 242 includes a dot pattern assigned to each of the subjects input for each of a plurality of time periods on a plurality of days of the week on the input screen. Then, a print instruction is generated to print the subject name input for each of a plurality of time periods on a plurality of days of the week as the timetable 3. In the timetable 3, holes for binding by the multi-hole file 6 are formed. Such holes may be formed in advance before printing by the printer 7 or may be formed after printing by the printer 7.

[Display screen example]
Next, referring to FIG. 9 to FIG. 12, examples of screens displayed by the stroke display means 245 of the processing means 24 described above are presented.

  FIG. 9 shows an example of a screen displayed when the subject of the timetable 3 is tapped with the electronic pen 1. FIG. 9A shows an example of the timetable 3, and FIG. 9B shows an example of a screen displayed on the display means 26 of the computer device 2.

In this case, the determination unit 243 of the processing unit 24 refers to the coordinate definition information stored in the storage unit 25 as illustrated in FIG. 6, so that the subject tapped by the electronic pen 1 is “present company”. To be identified. Then, the stroke display unit 245 opens the “current company” file specified by the determination unit 243 and causes the display unit 26 to display the handwritten stroke stored in the file as shown in FIG. 9B. Specifically, the stroke display means 245 displays the last page on the display means 26 in the page where the handwritten stroke is entered for “current company”. For example, the stroke display means 245 displays such a page with a window and displays characters corresponding to a subject such as “modern social note” at the top of the window. Note that the present invention is not limited to displaying the last page as described above, and the first page or the like may be displayed.

  FIG. 10 shows an example of a screen displayed when a handwritten stroke is entered on the notebook paper 4 with the electronic pen 1. FIG. 10A shows an example of the note paper 4, and FIG. 10B shows an example of a screen displayed on the display means 26 of the computer device 2.

  Here, a case where a handwritten stroke is written on the notebook paper 4 on which a handwritten stroke has already been written, that is, a case where a new handwritten stroke is written after the already written handwritten stroke is illustrated. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10A, a case where a new handwritten stroke is entered in the portion shown in the broken line area B1 is illustrated. In this case, the stroke display means 245 opens a file storing a page corresponding to the note paper 4 in which a handwritten stroke is entered. Then, as shown in FIG. 10B, the stroke display means 245 displays a page corresponding to the note paper 4 and draws a handwritten stroke on the page (see the broken line area B2). If the page corresponding to the notebook paper 4 on which the handwritten stroke is entered is already displayed by tapping the subject of the timetable 3 with the electronic pen 1, the stroke display means 245 displays the above as described above. Even if the file is not opened, the file is already open, so that the handwritten stroke is drawn on the displayed page.

  FIG. 11 shows another example of a screen displayed when a handwritten stroke is entered on the notebook paper 4 with the electronic pen 1. FIG. 11A shows an example of the note paper 4, and FIG. 11B shows an example of a screen displayed on the display means 26 of the computer device 2.

  Here, a case where a handwritten stroke is written on a notebook paper 4 on which a handwritten stroke has not yet been written, that is, a case where a handwritten stroke is written on a new notebook paper 4 is illustrated. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11A, a case where a handwritten stroke is entered in the portion indicated by the broken line area C1 is illustrated. In this case, as shown in FIG. 11B, the stroke display means 245 displays a new page (specifically, a blank page) that is continuous with the page stored in the currently opened file, and A handwritten stroke is drawn on the page (see broken line area C2).

  FIG. 12 shows an example of folder and file icons displayed on the display means 26 of the computer apparatus 2. FIG. 12A shows a folder icon 10 in which a file for each subject as described above is stored. For example, the folder is given a name such as “lecture note”, and the folder icon 10 is displayed on the desktop. When the user selects the folder icon 10 with the input means 21, for example, when the folder icon 10 is clicked with the mouse or touch-inputted with the touch panel, a plurality of items stored in the folder are displayed as shown in FIG. A file icon 11 is displayed. In other words, the folder expands.

  Here, when the user selects the file icon 11 by the input means 21, for example, when the file icon 11 is clicked with the mouse or touch-inputted with the touch panel, the subject of the timetable 3 is tapped, The stroke display means 245 causes the display means 26 to display the handwritten stroke stored in the selected file. Specifically, the stroke display unit 245 causes the display unit 26 to display a predetermined page (for example, the last page) among the pages stored in the selected file.

[Processing flow]
Next, a processing flow by the information processing system according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The processing flow shown in FIG. 13 is repeatedly executed each time entry information is generated by the electronic pen 1.

  First, when the user fills in the timetable 3 and the note paper 4 (including both taps and strokes) with the electronic pen 1, the electronic pen 1 transmits the generated entry information to the computer device 2. In the computer apparatus 2, when the communication means 22 receives the entry information transmitted from the electronic pen 1, the storage instruction means 244 of the processing means 24 stores the entry information in the storage means 25 (step S101).

  Next, the determination unit 243 of the processing unit 24 determines which of the subject in the timetable 3 and the notebook sheet 4 has been entered by the electronic pen 1 (step S102). Specifically, the determination unit 243 includes coordinate definition information stored in the storage unit 25 (specifically, coordinate definition information indicating coordinate ranges of dot patterns assigned to the plurality of notebook papers 4, and a plurality of pieces of coordinate definition information). By referring to the coordinate definition information indicating the coordinate range of the dot pattern assigned to the subject, it is determined which of the subject of the timetable 3 and the note paper 4 has been entered by the electronic pen 1.

  When the subject of the timetable 3 is entered by the electronic pen 1 (step S102: subject of the timetable), the determination unit 243 identifies the subject tapped by the electronic pen 1, and the subject file is stored in the storage unit 25. It is determined whether it is stored (step S103). When the file of the subject tapped with the electronic pen 1 is stored (step S103; Yes), the stroke display unit 245 of the processing unit 24 opens the file associated with the subject specified by the determination unit 243, and The handwritten stroke stored in the file is displayed on the display means 26 (step S104). Specifically, the stroke display unit 245 causes the display unit 26 to display the last page of the pages stored in the file.

  On the other hand, if the file of the subject tapped with the electronic pen 1 is not stored (step S103; No), the save instruction unit 244 creates a file for the subject (step S105). Then, the save instruction unit 244 generates an icon for the created file and stores the file in a folder (lecture note folder) (step S106). Thereafter, the stroke display means 245 opens the file created by the save instruction means 244 (step S107). Specifically, the stroke display unit 245 displays a blank page on the display unit 26.

  On the other hand, when the electronic pen 1 fills in the note paper 4 (step S102: note paper), the determination unit 243 determines whether or not the note paper 4 is a new note paper 4 (step S108). . Specifically, the determination unit 243 makes such a determination based on whether or not the file stored in the storage unit 25 includes the data of the notebook paper 4 written with the electronic pen 1.

  When the note paper 4 written with the electronic pen 1 is not the new note paper 4 (step S108; No), the stroke display means 245 opens a file including a page corresponding to the note paper 4 and the note paper 4 A page corresponding to is displayed on the display means 26 (step S109). Then, the stroke display unit 245 draws a handwritten stroke on the displayed page, and the save instruction unit 244 stores the handwritten stroke in association with the page (step S110).

  On the other hand, when the note paper 4 entered with the electronic pen 1 is a new note paper 4 (step S108; Yes), the determination unit 243 determines whether or not the file is open (step S111). In other words, the determination unit 243 determines whether or not a subject is specified by tapping the timetable 3 with the electronic pen 1.

  When the file is open (step S111; Yes), the save instruction unit 244 continues the page (specifically, the last page) stored in the currently open file for the new note paper 4. And the created page is stored in a file (step S112). When no page is stored in the currently opened file, that is, when the new notebook paper 4 corresponds to the first page, the save instructing unit 244 selects a page that is continuous with the page stored in the file. Create the first page without creating it. Next, the stroke display unit 245 draws a handwritten stroke on a new page (blank page), and the save instruction unit 244 stores the handwritten stroke in association with the page (step S113).

  On the other hand, when the file is not opened (step S111; No), the notification unit 246 of the processing unit 24 notifies the user that the subject is not specified (step S114). For example, the notification unit 246 displays a message indicating that a subject is not designated as an image on the display unit 26 or outputs it as a sound from a speaker. Alternatively, the notification unit 246 outputs an alarm sound.

[Effects of First Embodiment]

That is, components and processes not specifically described are the same as those in the first embodiment.

  In the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15, the storage unit 25 is coordinate definition information in which a plurality of days of the week (Monday to Friday) are associated with coordinate ranges of dot patterns assigned to the plurality of days of the week. Is remembered. Specifically, the storage unit 25 stores a coordinate range of dot patterns that differ for each day of the week. The storage unit 25 stores coordinate definition information in which a plurality of time periods on a plurality of days of the week are associated with coordinate ranges of dot patterns assigned to the plurality of time periods on a plurality of days of the week. Specifically, the storage means 25 stores a coordinate range of dot patterns that differ for each time period of each day of the week. FIG. 16A illustrates coordinate definition information in which a plurality of time periods (1st to 6th time periods) on Monday are associated with coordinate ranges of dot patterns assigned to a plurality of time periods on Monday. . The storage means 25 stores coordinate definition information as shown in FIG. 16A for other days of the week (Tuesday to Friday). However, the coordinate range of the dot pattern is different for each time period of each day of the week.

  In the second embodiment, the print instructing unit 242 prints a timetable according to the subject input by the user using the input screen based on the coordinate definition information stored in the storage unit 25 as described above. Is supplied to the print output means 27 (the input screen displayed by the input screen display means 241 is the same as in the first embodiment). Specifically, the print instruction unit 242 inputs the dot pattern assigned for each time period of each day of the week based on the coordinate definition information to which the coordinate range of a different dot pattern is assigned for each time period of each day of the week, and the input A print instruction for printing the subject name input for each time period of each day of the week as a timetable on the screen is output. In addition, the print instruction unit 242 uses the dot definition assigned to each day of the week in the timetable based on the coordinate definition information (see FIG. 15) in which a different dot pattern coordinate range is assigned to each day of the week. Print instructions for printing the pattern.

  Further, in the second embodiment, the association unit 247 of the processing unit 24 uses the input screen to display the subjects input for each time period of each day of the week as dots assigned to each time period of each day of the week in the coordinate definition information. The data is stored in the storage unit 25 in association with the pattern. For example, as shown in FIG. 16B, the associating unit 247 registers the subjects input for each time period on Monday in association with the coordinate range of the dot pattern assigned to each time period on Monday. . The association unit 247 associates subjects with the coordinate range of the dot pattern in the same manner for other days of the week (Tuesday to Friday). The determination unit 243 identifies the day of the week and the time period entered in the timetable by the electronic pen 1 by referring to the coordinate definition information in which such association is performed, and the subject associated with the day of the week and the time period. Is identified.

[Display screen example]
Next, with reference to FIGS. 17 and 18, an example of a screen displayed in the second embodiment is presented.

  FIG. 17 shows an example of a screen displayed when the subject of the timetable 3a is tapped with the electronic pen 1. FIG. 17A shows an example of the timetable 3a, and FIG. 17B shows an example of a screen displayed on the display means 26 of the computer apparatus 2a.

  The timetable 3a is created by the print instruction from the print instruction means 242 described above. Specifically, in the timetable 3a, the subject name input by the user using the input screen for each time period of each day of the week is printed, and a dot pattern having a different coordinate range for each time period of each day of the week is printed. Printed. Specifically, the subject name is printed inside the rectangle indicated by the frame line, and the dot pattern of the coordinate range assigned to the corresponding day of the week and time limit is printed. In addition, in the timetable 3a, dot patterns having different coordinate ranges are printed on the day of the week (inside the rectangle indicated by the frame line corresponding to the day of the week). The dot pattern is printed with ink containing carbon that absorbs infrared rays, and characters and frame lines indicating the subject name, day of the week, time limit, and the like are printed with ink that does not absorb in the infrared region. Note that the method of inputting subjects by the user is the same as the method shown in the first embodiment (see, for example, FIG. 7).

  Here, as shown in FIG. 17A, a case where the user taps a subject “current company (modern society)” with the electronic pen 1 is illustrated. Specifically, it is assumed that “current company” performed on the 5th Wednesday is tapped. In this case, the determination unit 243 of the processing unit 24 specifies that the day of the week and the time period tapped by the electronic pen 1 are Wednesday and the 5th period, and the subject to be conducted on the Wednesday and the 5th period is “present company”. Identifies it. In this way, the determination unit 243 is based on the coordinate definition information after the association by the association unit 247 (information in which the coordinate range of the dot pattern and the subject are associated with each time period of each day of the week). Identify subjects, days of the week and time limits.

  Then, the stroke display means 245 opens the “current company” file and causes the display means 26 to display the handwritten strokes stored in the file as shown in FIG. Specifically, the stroke display means 245 is related to the “current company” on the 5th Wednesday on the Wednesday specified by the determination means 243.
