Determining means for determining whether or not a description mode of the writing medium in the second area satisfies a predetermined mode condition based on the stroke data generated by the stroke data generating unit; When it is determined that the predetermined mode condition is satisfied, the stroke data corresponding to the description in the first area among the stroke data generated by the stroke data generation means is the writing data. In addition, the stroke data corresponding to the description in the second area is regarded as an instruction of the desired processing, and the determination unit performs the predetermined process. When it is determined that the condition condition is not satisfied, the stroke data generated by the stroke data generation unit includes the stroke data corresponding to the description in the first area and the description in the second area. And data processing means for using both the corresponding stroke data and the writing data as the writing data.

  In the electronic writing device of the present invention, the contents written by the operator using the writing tool can be converted into electronic data. That is, when an operator puts a writing medium such as a predetermined paper medium on the holding means and makes a desired description on the writing medium using a writing tool, a plurality of positions of the writing tool moved by the writing operation Information is acquired by the position acquisition means. Then, the data generation means generates writing data corresponding to the description on the writing medium using the acquired plurality of position information. The generated writing data is temporarily stored in the storage means.

And the recessed part mounting part 24B is provided under the display part 21 and the input part 22 so that most of the near side (spreading state) of the electronic writing apparatus 2 may be occupied.

  A paper medium 70 (see FIG. 5 to be described later) serving as a writing medium is placed on each of the placement units 24A and 24B (hereinafter also referred to as “placement unit 24” including both the left and right sides). Coordinate detection units 25A and 25B (hereinafter also referred to as “coordinate detection unit 25” including both left and right) are provided so as to be in the same range as the placement units 24A and 24B.

  The coordinate detection units 25A and 25B detect coordinate information indicating the position of the electronic pen 3 (for example, the upper left portions of the placement units 24A and 24B are set to the origin (0, 0)). The placement units 24A and 24B can be used as the left page 70A and the right page 70B when the paper medium 70 is properly placed on the left side 2A and the right side 2B. At this time, the left and right placement units 24 hold the posture in which the upper left corner of the paper medium 70 placed on the left and right coincides with the origin (0, 0).

Is functionally provided with a second area for selectively performing either the description of the contents to be stored or the description for instructing the desired processing for the stroke data. Accordingly, the placement unit 24 including the coordinate detection unit 25 functions as a holding unit that holds the paper medium 70 as a writing medium in each claim.

<Electronic pen 3>
In the following description, in the electronic pen 3, the direction in which the nib 32 of the core 31 is provided is referred to as the tip direction. The direction opposite to the front end direction is referred to as the rear end direction. In this example, the electronic pen 3 includes a core 31, a detection switch 33, a button-type battery 34, a coil 35, and a substrate 36. The core 31 is made of metal and includes a pen tip 32 and an ink storage unit 37. The lead 31 is provided inside the tip of the electronic pen 3, and the pen tip 32 projects outside. Ink is stored in the ink storage portion 37, and the ink is supplied to the pen tip 32. Thereby, the user (operator) can write a desired character, figure, etc. on the paper medium 70 using the electronic pen 3.

  A substrate 36 is provided in the rear end direction of the core 31. A detection switch 33 is mounted on the front end portion of the substrate 36, and a battery 34 is provided in the rear end direction of the substrate 36. The battery 34 is connected to the substrate 36, and the negative electrode of the battery 34 is electrically connected to the coil 35 via the wiring on the substrate 36. Further, the positive electrode of the battery 34 is electrically connected to the detection switch 33 via the wiring of the substrate 36. The detection switch 33 is electrically connected to the coil 35 via the wiring of the substrate 36. The coil 35 is wound around the core 31 at the tip end inside the electronic pen 3.

<Detection of coordinate information of electronic pen 3>
Here, the core 31 is always urged in the distal direction by an elastic member (not shown). The core 31 is slightly retracted into the electronic pen 3 against the urging force of the elastic member by a pressing force when the user writes a character or the like on the paper medium 70. By this retreat, the rear end portion of the core 31 presses the detection switch 33, and the detection switch 33 is turned on. As a result, the battery 34 and the coil 35 are electrically connected, current flows from the battery 34 toward the coil 35, and a current flows through the coil 35, thereby generating a magnetic field.

  The coordinate detection unit 25 of the electronic writing apparatus 2 detects the magnetic field generated from the coil 35 as described above based on electromagnetic induction. Since this detection is sufficient by a known method, detailed description is omitted. Based on the detection result of the coordinate detection unit 25, the CPU 201 uses a plurality of pieces of position information corresponding to the movement of the electronic pen 3 when the user performs a writing operation on the paper medium 70 using the electronic pen 3 (that is, the above-described position information). Get coordinate information). As described above, in this embodiment, the coordinate system having the upper left coordinate (X, Y) of the coordinate detection unit 25 as the origin (0, 0), the right direction as the X axis, and the lower direction as the Y axis. Is used. That is, the value of the X coordinate represents the horizontal position in the coordinate detection unit 25 (mounting unit 24), and the value of the Y coordinate represents the vertical position.

<Display device 4>
The display device 4 is connected to the electronic writing device 2 and can display image data corresponding to the appearance of the paper medium 70 placed on the placement unit 24 of the electronic writing device 2 by the user.

<Electrical configuration of electronic writing device>
With reference to FIG. 2, the electrical configuration of the electronic writing apparatus 2 will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, the electronic writing apparatus 2 includes a CPU 201 that controls the electronic writing apparatus 2, a ROM 202, a RAM 203 (storage means) that temporarily stores various data, a flash memory 204, and an input. Unit 22, drive circuits 206, 209, and 210, and a communication control unit 207 (communication means) that controls transmission / reception of information with the server SV via the network NW.

  The ROM 202, RAM 203, and flash memory 204 are electrically connected to the CPU 201. The ROM 202 includes a program storage area 2021 and a writing data storage area 2023. The program storage area 2021 stores various programs that the CPU 201 executes to control the electronic writing apparatus 2. In the writing data storage area 2023, image data corresponding to format information of a paper medium 70 described later is stored.

  The flash memory 204 includes a coordinate information storage area 2041. A coordinate information data table 53 is stored in the coordinate information storage area 2041.

  The input unit 22 and the drive circuits 206, 209, and 210 are electrically connected to the CPU 201. The drive circuits 206 and 209 are electronic circuits for driving the display unit 21 and the coordinate detection unit 25, respectively. The drive circuit 210 is an electronic circuit for causing the display device 4 to display an image.

<Generation of stroke data>
Next, stroke data will be described. The stroke data is a pen position data sequence composed of a plurality of coordinate information acquired by the CPU 201 based on the detection result of the coordinate detection unit 25. 3 and 4 show examples of two characters “a” and “b”.

  In FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the character “a” is divided into first stroke data, and is data representing the trajectory of the one-stroke portion from the beginning to the end of writing of the character “a” by the electronic pen 3. The character “a” has 11 coordinate information (X1, Y1), (X2, Y2),..., (X11) corresponding to the pen position numbers T1, T2,. , Y11). The character “b” is divided into second stroke data, and is data representing the locus of a one-stroke portion from the beginning of writing to the end of writing of the character “b” by the electronic pen 3. The character “b” has ten pieces of coordinate information (X12, Y12), (X13, Y13),... (X21, corresponding to the pen position numbers T12, T13,. Y21). In this way, the CPU 201 generates stroke data corresponding to the content written on the paper medium 70 by the user using the electronic pen 3 by using a plurality of coordinate information corresponding to the detection result of the coordinate detection unit 25. .

  In the present embodiment, for example, 11 pieces of coordinate information (X1, Y1), (X2, Y2),... Corresponding to the positions T1, T2,. Each of (X11, Y11) is stroke data. Also, the entire 11 pieces of coordinate information (X1, Y1), (X2, Y2),..., (X11, Y11) corresponding to the positions T1, T2,. In other words, the first stroke data is a collection of stroke data for constituting the character “a”. All of the stroke data for forming the character “a” and the character “b” are set as a stroke data group. Note that the stroke data group as characters and the like becomes handwritten data.

<Features of this embodiment>
In the above basic configuration, the feature of the present embodiment corresponds to actual description on the paper medium 70 (writing medium) by the electronic pen 3 when the user checks a check box (described later) of the paper medium 70. The stroke data group (= writing data) is automatically sorted and stored in a folder intended by the user among a plurality of folders (storage destinations) of the server SV. At this time, the CPU 201 as the determination unit determines whether the writing is an action for designating a plurality of folders (storage destinations) of the server SV or writing as writing data according to the writing state of the paper medium 70. It comes to judge. Hereinafter, the details will be described in order.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of the paper medium 70 used in this embodiment. As shown in the figure, in this example, as shown in FIG. 6, the user can freely describe a desired character / graphic or the like (hereinafter referred to as “written character”) R freely on the paper medium 70 in this example. The horizontal ruled line 71, a plurality of (four in this example) check boxes 72 a, 72 a, 72 c, 72 d located near the lower end of the paper medium 70, and the right corner of the lower end of the paper medium 70 And a check box 73a for writing data storage instruction. The line 71 is not printed in the vicinity of the check box 73a, and is a unique save instruction area that is not included in any of the first area and the second area described later.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, the server SV has “TODO” folder F1, “memo” folder F2, “planned” folder F3, and “other” folders as folders that can be used by the user as a storage location of stroke data. A total of four folders F4 are provided.

  Accordingly, the paper medium 70 is preset in a format corresponding to this, and includes a “TODO” check box 72a, a “memo” check box 72b, a “planned” check box 72c, and an “other” check box 72d. , Are provided respectively.

  These check boxes 72a to 72d are associated with a predetermined coordinate value range in advance for the coordinate detection units 25A and 25B. Similarly, the check box 73a for writing data storage instruction is also associated with a predetermined coordinate value range in advance.

  Accordingly, the user checks one of the check boxes 72a to 72d and the check box 73a of the paper medium 70 using the electronic pen 3 in a state where the paper medium 70 is placed on the placement unit 24 of the electronic writing device 2. When the mark “L” is entered, stroke data corresponding to the check operation is generated.

  Then, the CPU 201 determines which check box 72a to 72d and the check box 73a have the check mark “re” written depending on the coordinate value range corresponding to the check boxes 72a to 72d and the check box 73a. It can be determined whether or not a check mark “re” is entered in the coordinate value range.

  In addition, the paper medium 70 includes a first range for describing contents to be stored in the server SV as writing data in a predetermined range including the check box 73a for writing data storage instruction and the entire range except the marginal margin. The region 74A is used. In addition, a line 71 is printed on the entire first area 74A so that the user can recognize that it can be used as the first area 74A.

  On the other hand, the check boxes 72a to 72d are printed with a rectangular frame thinner or thinner than the line 71, for example, and a part of the first area 74A for describing the contents to be stored in the server SV as written data. And also serves as the second area 74B for selectively instructing a desired process for the stroke data.

  Therefore, in the case where the second area 74B is also used, as shown in FIG. 6, for example, the user enters 8/6 AM10: 00 to 00 A company presentation PM2: 00 to technical meeting in the first area 74A. The “schedule” check box 72c is checked among the check boxes 72a to 72d, and the “save” check box 73a is checked.

  Then, under the control of the CPU 201, stroke data corresponding to the written character R is transmitted to the server SV, and the “TODO” folder F1, “memo” folder F2, “planned” folder F3, and “others” of the server SV are transmitted. The folder is automatically sorted and stored in the selected “plan” folder F3 in the folder F4.

  Next, as a control procedure executed by the CPU 201 of the electronic writing apparatus 2, an automatic determination process for determining whether the second area 74B is used as the first area 74A or the second area 74B is performed as a main routine of FIG. A description will be given based on the subroutine of FIG.

<Main control flow>
A control procedure executed by the CPU 201 of the electronic writing apparatus 2 to realize the above will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, in step S1, the CPU 201 performs predetermined initialization (initialization) when the power of the electronic writing apparatus 2 is turned on, for example, and proceeds to step S2.

  In step S <b> 2, the CPU 201 determines whether or not the operator has performed writing based on whether or not the coordinate information is acquired by the coordinate detection unit 25. When the CPU 201 acquires the position information, the determination that there is writing is satisfied (S2: Yes), and the process proceeds to step S3. On the other hand, if the position information is not acquired, the CPU 201 does not satisfy the determination that there is writing (S2: No), and loops to step S2. This procedure functions as a position acquisition unit described in each claim.

  In step S3, the CPU 201 generates stroke data for the position information corresponding to the contents of the user's written character as described above based on the position information acquired in step S2. This procedure functions as stroke data generation means described in each claim.

  In step S4, the CPU 201 temporarily stores the generated stroke data in the RAM 203 as an editing buffer. This procedure functions as a storage means described in each claim.

  In step S5, the CPU 201 sets a check mark “re” in the “save” check box 73a provided in the paper medium 70 based on the coordinate information acquired in step S2 and the stroke data generated in step S3. It is determined whether or not it has been written. If the “save” check box 73a is checked, the CPU 201 satisfies the determination (S5: Yes), and proceeds to step S10. Note that this procedure functions as a storage process in the storage area described in each claim.

(Sub-control routine: Example 1)
FIG. 8 shows whether the CPU 201 as the determination means stores in the RAM 203 as the editing buffer in step S4 and whether the description mode in the second area 74B satisfies a predetermined mode condition based on the stroke data generated in step S3. It is a flowchart of a routine for determining whether or not.

  In step S11, the CPU 201 detects an aggregate of stroke data based on the description in the second area 74B, that is, how many strokes are written, and proceeds to step S12.

  In step S12, the CPU 201 determines whether or not the number of stroke data aggregates detected in step S11 is one. If the number of detected stroke data aggregates is one, the CPU 201 satisfies the determination (S12: Yes), and proceeds to step S13. On the other hand, if the number of detected stroke data aggregates is not one, the determination is not satisfied (S12: No), and the CPU 201 skips to step S15. This procedure functions as a position acquisition unit described in each claim.

  In step S13, the CPU 201 determines whether or not the collection of stroke data detected in step S11 is only for one of the check boxes 72a to 72d. If the detected stroke data aggregate is only for one of the check boxes 72a to 72d, the CPU 201 satisfies the determination (S13: Yes), and proceeds to step S14. On the other hand, when the detected stroke data aggregate is not only for one of the check boxes 72a to 72d, that is, when the CPU 201 straddles two or more, the determination is not satisfied ( S13: No), skip to step S15. In addition, the procedure of step S12 and step S13 functions as a determination procedure described in each claim.

  In step S14, since the CPU 201 determines that the predetermined condition condition is satisfied by the determination procedure, the CPU 201 writes the stroke data corresponding to the description in the first area 74A among the stroke data generated in step S3. In addition to the data, the stroke data corresponding to the description in the second area 74B is regarded as an instruction of a desired process, and the corresponding action is executed.

  For the action here, it is determined which check box 72a to 72d is filled with the check mark “re”, and the stroke data group is transmitted to the server SV in the corresponding folder and stored in the corresponding folder F1 to F4. Let

  On the other hand, in step S15, the CPU 201 determines that the predetermined condition condition is not satisfied by the determination procedure. Therefore, the stroke data generated in step S3 includes the description in the first area 74A and the second area 74B. The stroke data group is transmitted to the server SV using all of the descriptions in as writing data. At this time, the folder to be stored is not specified, but it is regarded as a long sentence that can be written on the entire page and used up to the second area 74B, and stored in, for example, the “other” folder F3.

  As described above, in the first embodiment, the number of stroke data aggregates is one and the stroke data aggregates (line segments of one stroke) do not straddle two or more check boxes 72a to 72d. As a condition, it is determined that an action instruction has been written assuming that a check mark “re” is written in any one of the check boxes 72a to 72d, and there are a plurality of sets of stroke data, and two or more The action area can also be used as a writing area by determining that it is writing data on the condition that a set of stroke data (line segment of one stroke) extends over the check boxes 72a to 72d. Can be used effectively, and convenience can be improved.

  Note that the procedures of step S14 and step S15 function as data processing means described in each claim. In steps S14 and S15, the CPU 201 controls the communication control unit 207, and the selected folder (“TODO” folder F1, “memo” folder F2) of the server SV via the network NW. , Any one of “schedule” folder F3 and “others” folder F4), and the stroke data group stored in RAM 203 in step S4 is stored and saved in corresponding folders F1 to F4. Therefore. Steps S14 and S15 also function as communication means described in each claim.

(Other embodiments)
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment (Example 1), and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and technical idea thereof.

It is a flowchart of a routine for determining whether or not.

  In step 21, the CPU 201 determines whether or not a check mark “re” is entered in any of the check boxes 72 a to 72 d and the check mark “re” is within one check box 72 a to 72 d. The If the check mark “re” is within one of the check boxes 72a to 72d, the CPU 201 satisfies the determination (S21: Yes), and proceeds to step S14. On the other hand, the CPU 201 does not fill in the check mark “Re” that does not fit in one check box 72a to 72d, that is, the check mark “Re” does not protrude from the one check box 72a to 72d. In such a case, the determination is not satisfied (S21: No), and the process skips to step S15.

FIG. 10 shows that the CPU 201 as the determination means stores in the RAM 203 as the editing buffer in step S4 and whether the description mode in the second area 74B satisfies the predetermined mode condition based on the stroke data generated in step S3. It is a flowchart of a routine for determining whether or not.

  In the second embodiment of FIG. 10, step 21 of the second embodiment is used instead of step S <b> 13 of the first embodiment.

  Also in this way, the CPU 201 proceeds to step S14 when the check mark “re” that is an aggregate of one stroke data is within the check boxes 72a to 72d, and proceeds to step S15 otherwise. Can be skipped.

(4) When all of the predetermined mode conditions (i) to (iii) are appropriate: Example 4

It is a flowchart of a routine for determining whether or not.

  In Example 4 of FIG. 11, all of Step S12, Step S13, and Step 21 of Example 1 and Example 3 are set as predetermined condition conditions.

  Also in this case, the CPU 201 proceeds to step S14 if the check mark “re”, which is an aggregate of one stroke data, does not protrude into one check box 72a to 72d, otherwise proceeds to step S14. Can be skipped to step S15.

(5) Whether or not a writing action is designated: Example 5
FIG. 12 shows whether the CPU 201 as the determination means stores in the RAM 203 as the editing buffer in step S4 and whether the description mode in the second area 74B satisfies a predetermined mode condition based on the stroke data generated in step S3. It is a flowchart of a routine for determining whether or not.

  Here, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, whether or not to use the second area 74 </ b> B for the description of the contents to be externally stored is selected above the “Save” check box 73 a for the paper medium 70. A “writing” check box 73b is provided as a second entry field.

  The “writing” check box 73b is not checked by the user when the second area 74B is used as an instruction for a desired process, that is, when the check boxes 72a to 72d are enabled (see FIG. 13).

  On the other hand, the “writing” check box 73b is used when the second area 74B is used as an area for writing, that is, when the check boxes 72a to 72d are disabled for use as the first area 74A. (See FIG. 14).

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 12, in step S31, the CPU 201 does not write the check mark “re” in the “writing” check box 73b (S31: No) and is an aggregate of one stroke data. When a certain check mark “L” is entered in only one check box 72a to 72d, the routine of step S14 is executed.

  In addition, when the check mark “re” is written in the “writing” check box 73b (S31: Yes), or the check mark “re” that is an aggregate of one stroke data has two or more check boxes 72a. If it is entered in -72d, the routine of step S15 is executed. It should be noted that the presence or absence of the check mark “re” for selecting whether or not to use the second area 74B for describing the contents to be externally stored and the result thereof may be reversed. In other words, not "writing" checkbooks. It may be an “action” check box. Furthermore, in addition to the “writing” check box 73b, this “action” check box (not shown) may be provided separately.

(6) When another action is specified: Example 6
FIG. 13 shows whether the CPU 201 as the determination means stores in the RAM 203 as the editing buffer in step S4 and the description mode in the second area 74B satisfies a predetermined mode condition based on the stroke data generated in step S3. It is a flowchart of a routine for determining whether or not.

  As shown in FIG. 5, an action symbol entry area 72e defined in advance by numerals (or alphanumeric characters) is provided next to the “others” check box 72d in the second area 74B.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 15, the CPU 201 analyzes the action number (character “26” in FIG. 5) in the action symbol entry area 72e using the OCR function (step S51), and the action number (or English). (Number) (step S52), a function of executing other actions (step S53) such as mail delivery to a smartphone or the like designated in advance with the action number as a parameter and a trash (deletion) process may be added. .

  Thereby, it is possible to execute many actions by effectively using the limited space.

(7) Other Paper Medium FIGS. 5 and 13 disclose that one page of stroke data group is stored in one folder. For example, as shown in FIG. 75A to 75D may be provided.

  Moreover, in the above, the movement of the electronic pen 3 by the user's writing operation was detected by detecting the magnetic field from the electronic pen 3 by the coordinate detection unit 25, but the present invention is not limited to this. That is, a method of detecting the movement of the tip of the electronic pen 3 during the user's writing operation using ultrasonic waves, infrared rays, or camera imaging results may be used. In addition, by providing a known pressure-sensitive means on the placement unit 24 of the electronic writing device 2, and detecting the force with which the tip of the electronic pen 3 presses the paper medium 70 during the user's writing operation, The movement of the tip of the electronic pen 3 may be detected. In this case, a general-purpose pen such as a normal ballpoint pen can be used as the electronic pen 3 instead of the pen provided with the coil 35 for generating the magnetic field as described above.

  Further, in the above, the CPU 201 transmits the corresponding write character R to the server SV by sending a check to any of the check boxes 72a to 72d and a check to the “save” check box 73a, and the folder F1. Although stored in any one of -F4, it is not restricted to this. That is, a plurality of folders of the classification intended by the user, such as the folders F1 to F4, are provided inside the electronic writing device 2 (for example, the coordinate information storage area 2041 of the flash memory 204). The electronic writing apparatus 2 may be automatically sorted and stored in a plurality of folders inside the electronic writing apparatus 2. Furthermore, it may be temporarily stored in a plurality of folders inside the electronic writing apparatus 2 and then output and stored in the folders F1 to F4 of the server SV for some reason. In this case, a plurality of folders that are temporarily stored may be provided in a separate PC terminal, portable terminal, smartphone, or the like outside the electronic writing device 2.

  Further, the electronic writing apparatus 1 has no intelligent function, and simply throws stroke data (coordinate sequence) to the server SV. May be determined and processed for which of the above two applications.

  In addition, the check mark is not limited to “re”, and for example, it is possible to deal with “x” or “◯” on the condition that it does not protrude, but it is determined whether or not the number of strokes is one. In the case of executing the routine (step S12), it is more preferable to use a single stroke such as “◯”.

  In addition to those already described above, the methods according to the above-described embodiments and modifications may be used in appropriate combination.

  In addition, although not illustrated one by one, the present invention is implemented with various modifications within a range not departing from the gist thereof.
