  Next, the operation of the information processing apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an open / closed state of the binder 13 in the information processing apparatus 100. FIG. 3A is a diagram illustrating a state in which the first cover 13a and the second cover 13b of the information processing apparatus 100 are opened, and FIG. 3B is a diagram illustrating the second cover on the first cover 13a. It is a figure which shows the state in which the cover 13b overlaps.

  For example, the user can use the information processing apparatus 100 in a state where the binder 13 is opened 180 degrees, or can write a chart or the like on the recording medium 15. When the information processing 100 and the recording medium 15 are not used, the first cover 13a and the second cover 13b can be closed to completely close the binder 13 (opening / closing angle is 0 degree).

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a flow of mail transmission by a command executed by the information processing apparatus 100. Hereinafter, mail transmission by a command by the information processing apparatus 100 will be described with reference to FIG. These processes are executed in cooperation with the CPU 11 and various programs stored in the storage unit 4.

  As a premise that mail transmission by this command is started, for example, an operation of recording a handwritten memo on the recording medium 15 in a state where the information processing apparatus 100 is activated, and closing the binder 13 of the information processing apparatus 100 after the recording is performed. Shall be done. In mail transmission by a command, an opening / closing angle of approximately 70 degrees is set as an optimum angle for photographing. Specifically, the CPU 1 generates the image by the imaging unit 6 when the opening / closing angle sensor 8 detects approximately 70 degrees as the angle between the first cover 13a and the second cover 13b (an optimum angle for photographing). The acquired memo image is acquired. Also, shooting conditions such as focus and exposure are set in accordance with an angle (approximately 70 degrees) optimum for shooting.

  When the mail transmission process by the command is started, in step S1, the CPU 1 uses the opening / closing angle sensor 8 to set the angle between the first cover portion 13a and the second cover portion 13b (an angle optimal for photographing) to approximately 70. When the degree is detected, the imaging unit 6 is caused to image a handwritten memo. That is, in step S1, the CPU 1 controls the imaging unit 8 in conjunction with the operation of closing the information processing apparatus to capture a handwritten memo on the recording medium 15, and stores the memo image generated by the imaging unit 8 in the RAM 3. To do.

  In step S2, the CPU 1 controls the OCR program 42 to search whether or not a mark indicating a mail transmission command is recorded within the range of the captured memo image. Here, the mark indicating the mail transmission command functions as identification information.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example in which a mark indicating a mail transmission command is recorded by handwriting in a handwritten memo. FIG. 5A shows an example in which the “□ V” mark is recorded in a handwritten memo. FIG. 5B shows an example in which a handwritten memo is recorded on the recording medium 15 on which a two-dimensional barcode is printed. In the example of FIG. 5A, an example in which an e-mail address is recorded by handwriting near the mark is shown. In the mark, a transmission destination address may be registered in advance by the mail program 44. One destination address may be assigned to the mark, or a plurality of destination addresses may be assigned to one mark.

  In addition, the two-dimensional barcode may be pre-printed on a memo paper. The handwritten memo is recorded on a sheet of a predetermined shape on which a two-dimensional barcode is printed.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a correspondence relationship between a mark indicating a mail transmission command and a transmission destination address registered in advance in the mail program 44. As shown in FIG. 6, a plurality of marks indicating mail transmission commands are prepared, and the user may use a desired mark from among them. For example, three marks indicating mail transmission commands are prepared, the first mark is “V1 of □”, the address of Mr. A is assigned as the transmission destination address, and the second mark is “□ "V2", the address of Mr. B is assigned as the destination address, the third mark is "V3 of □", and the address of Mr. C is assigned as the destination address May be. On the other hand, a transmission destination may not be assigned to these marks.

  Returning to FIG. 4, in step S <b> 3, the CPU 1 determines whether or not a mark indicating a mail transmission command has been recorded. If it is determined that the mark has been detected, the process branches to “YES” and proceeds to step S <b> 4. Transition. If it is not determined that it has been found, the process branches to “NO” and the mail transmission process by the command is terminated.

  In step S4, the CPU 1 checks whether there is a valid mail address in the vicinity of the mark indicating the mail transmission command. If a valid address is found, the process branches to “YES” and proceeds to step S7. If not found, the process branches to “NO” and moves to step S5.

  In step S5, the CPU 1 checks whether a transmission destination address is registered in advance as shown in FIG. That is, it is confirmed in advance whether a transmission destination address is assigned to a mark indicating a mail transmission command. If it is determined that it is registered, the process branches to “YES” and proceeds to step S7. If it is not determined that it is registered, the process branches to "NO" and proceeds to step S6.

  In step S6, CPU1 acquires the address of the attendee of the related event. Specifically, first, the CPU 1 acquires the current date and time from the timer unit 9. The current date and time is the date and time when the CPU 1 is executing step S6, and is the date and time when the handwritten memo is substantially captured and the memo image is acquired.

Next, the CPU 1 searches the scheduler to determine whether there is an event related to the current date and time when the handwritten memo is captured.
FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a scheduler display screen by the CPU 1 and the scheduler program 41. 7A shows a calendar display 411, and FIG. 7B shows an individual event (schedule) display 412. FIG. An imaging icon 51 and a registration icon 52 are displayed on the screen of FIG. The user can register individual events from the scheduler display screen shown in FIG.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a data structure stored in the storage unit 4 as the second storage means in the schedulers 1, 4, and 41 as the management means. For each individual event, an ID, event name, date and time (start date and time, end date and time), attendees, and e-mail address are registered. As shown in FIG. 8, a data structure in which individual event information includes a mail transmission destination address of an attendee or the like may be adopted. In addition, the schedulers 1, 4, and 41 may be configured to register the mail transmission destination address as, for example, another address book in the second storage unit, and associate it with the attendee of the event information.

  The related event refers to an event when the current date and time is included in the registered time of the registered event (specified by the event holding time and the scheduled end time). However, taking into account the occurrence of events such as meetings being held longer than the scheduled time of the event or starting earlier, the current time or date and time recorded in the memo image is Some delay / advance is allowed for registration time. For example, when there is an event registered with a registration time slightly later than the current date and time or the date and time recorded in the memo image, the event is determined to be a related event.

Returning to FIG. 4, when there is a related event, the CPU 1 associates the image data of the memo image and the event information and stores them in the storage unit 4 as the first storage unit.
Then, the address of the attendee registered for the event is acquired.

  In step S7, the CPU 1 determines whether or not there is an area designation for the mark indicating the mail transmission command. If it is determined that there is an area designation for the mark indicating the mail transmission command, the process branches to “YES” and proceeds to step S8. If it is determined that there is no area designation for the mark of the mail transmission command, the process branches to “NO” and proceeds to step S9.

  In step S8, the CPU 1 controls the image management program 43 to create an image in which only the designated area is cut out.

In Steps S7 and S8, when a plurality of area designations for a plurality of mail transmission command marks are detected, the CPU 1 controls the image management program 43 to create an image obtained by cutting out the plurality of designated areas.
FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining area designation for a mark indicating a mail transmission command. In FIG. 9, the CPU 1 recognizes a closed area surrounded by a line as an area designation for a mark indicating a mail transmission command. The type of line is, for example, a solid line. In order to prevent recognition errors, it is necessary to impose certain restrictions on the area designation. That is, it does not overlap with handwritten characters or codes. It is also a substantially closed line.

  In step S9, the CPU 1 sets the entire memo image (entire page) as a transmission screen.

In step S10, the CPU 1 attaches the image designated in step S8 or step S9 and sends it by e-mail to a predetermined destination address.
Here, the transmission destination is the transmission destination address designated in step S3 or step S5 or step S6.

[Modification]
Next, an information processing apparatus 100A according to a modification of the present embodiment will be described. In the following description, the same components as those of the information processing apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the information processing apparatus 100A according to the modification is leaned against the binder 13A. It is a figure which shows the state by which the recording medium 15 was placed in front of information processing apparatus 100A. In the modification, the recording medium 15 is configured as a booklet composed of a plurality of pages, and the handwritten memo of the recording medium 15 is imaged by the imaging unit 8 at the timing of turning the page of the recording medium 15. When the recording medium 15 is placed so that the upper and lower ends of the information processing apparatus 100 </ b> A are aligned with the upper end of the recording medium 15, the angle of view and the focus of the imaging unit 8 are set in advance so as to match the recording medium 15.

  The information processing apparatus 100A is different from the information processing apparatus 100 shown in the first embodiment in that the opening / closing angle sensor 20 is unnecessary, but the other configuration is the same as that of the information processing apparatus 100. Therefore, FIG. 1 is used and description is abbreviate | omitted. Hereinafter, a configuration and operation characteristic of the modification will be described.

  In the information processing apparatus 100A according to the modification, the CPU 1 captures a plurality of pages of the recording medium 15 and completes the imaging. Then, mail is transmitted to a predetermined transmission destination address in accordance with the mark indicating the mail transmission command recorded on the first page of the recording medium 15. Here, the predetermined mark may be recorded in the middle or the last page of a plurality of pages.

Next, imaging of a handwritten memo will be described. First, when an instruction to start the imaging mode is given by the user's operation from the touch panel 5b, the CPU 1 continuously captures moving image data by the imaging unit 8, and analyzes the moving image data. A page turning operation of the imaged recording medium 15 is detected. While the image data output from the imaging unit 8 is changing, it is estimated that each page of the recording medium 15, the user's finger, and the like are moving. The CPU 1 continues to capture the moving image data picked up by the image pickup unit 8 and determines that the page turning operation has been performed when the image is still.
The CPU 1 causes the imaging unit 8 to perform imaging at the timing when the page turning operation of the recording medium 15 is detected. The CPU 11 controls the imaging unit 8 to image a handwritten memo recorded in the recording medium 15 and stores the memo image (still image) generated by the imaging unit 8 in the RAM 3.

Next, the CPU 1 determines whether or not there is an instruction to end the imaging mode by an operation from the touch panel 5b of the user. When there is no instruction to end the imaging mode, the CPU 1 continues the detection process of the page turning operation of the recording medium 15 being imaged. When the turning operation is detected, the CPU 1 captures the handwritten memo recorded in the recording medium 15 and stores the image data of the memo image in the RAM 3.
On the other hand, when there is an instruction to end the shooting mode, the recording medium imaging process ends.

  The method for obtaining the transmission destination address in the modification is the same as that in the embodiment.

  Further, for example, the mark indicating the mail transmission command is a two-dimensional barcode, and the recording medium 15 is a set of a plurality of pages each having a two-dimensional barcode printed on each page. The first page, this page is the second page, this page is the third page, and since this page is the last page, the pages and destination instructions are the same as in FIG. When the imaging is completed, a plurality of pages can be sent to a predetermined transmission destination.

Get image data. Thereby, a handwritten memo can be imaged at the timing when the binder 13 of the information processing apparatus 100 is closed, and mail can be automatically transmitted.

Further, the image recognition means 1 and 42 extract transmission destination information from the image whose identification information is recognized, and the mail transmission means 1 and 44 transmit mail to the transmission destination based on the extracted transmission destination information.
Thereby, mail can be transmitted to the transmission destination recorded on the handwritten memo.

  Moreover, the mail transmission means 1 and 44 transmit mail to the transmission destination previously matched with the recognized identification information. Thereby, even if it does not record a transmission destination in a handwritten memo, it can transmit to a predetermined transmission destination.

Also, schedulers 1, 4, and 41 as management means for registering event information including date and time related to the event and performing schedule management, a first storage means 4 for storing image data and event information in association with each other, an event A second storage unit that stores information and a mail transmission destination address in association with each other, and the mail transmission unit sends the mail to the mail transmission destination associated with the event information associated with the image data to be transmitted. Send.
Thereby, the memo image can be transmitted to the transmission destination related to the event related to the memo image of the handwritten memo.

Further, the image recognition means 1 and 42 recognize an area substantially closed by a line segment in an image whose identification information has been recognized, and generate image data for transmission by cutting out the area substantially closed by a line segment The editing means 1 and 43 are further provided, and the mail transmission means 1 and 44 transmit the mail including the transmission image data generated by the image editing means 1 and 43 to the transmission destination.
Thereby, it is possible to transmit the contents of the handwritten memo specified only in the handwritten document and only in the region substantially closed by the line segment.

  Further, when recognizing a plurality of pieces of identification information, the image recognition units 1 and 42 recognize a region that is substantially closed by a line segment corresponding to each piece of identification information, and the image editing units 1 and 43 The image data for transmission is generated by cutting out the region substantially closed in minutes corresponding to the plurality of pieces of identification information. As a result, the recorded contents in a plurality of substantially closed areas can be transmitted.
