  FIG. 5 is a schematic view showing the structure of the electronic pen 3. As shown in FIG. 5, the electronic pen 3 includes a processor 108 including an ink cartridge 104, an LED 105, a CMOS camera 106, a pressure sensor 107, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a ROM, A memory 109 such as a RAM, a real-time clock 110, a communication unit 111 including 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 3 against the dedicated paper 2 and enters handwriting (handwritten handwriting). Here, the first contact of the pen tip portion 103 of the electronic pen 3 with the special paper 2 or the like is referred to as “pen down”, and the separation of the pen tip portion 103 from the contacted (contacted) state “ Called “pen-up”. A trajectory written between the pen-down and pen-up of the electronic pen 3 is one handwriting, and characters, figures, etc. are composed of one or a plurality of handwriting.

  The battery 112 is for supplying electric power to each component in the electronic pen 3. For example, the power of the electronic pen 3 itself is turned on / off by detaching a cap (not shown) of the electronic pen 3. It may be configured. The real time clock 110 transmits time information indicating the entry 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 special paper 2 or the like with the electronic pen 3, that is, the writing pressure, and transmits the value to the processor 108. To do.

  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 a character or the like on the dedicated paper 2 or the like with the electronic pen 3, the pen pressure is applied to the pen tip portion 103, and when the pressure sensor 107 detects a writing pressure of a predetermined value or more, the processor 108 It is determined that the user has started entry, and the LED 105 and the CMOS camera 106 are activated. Then, the communication unit 111 associates pen-down information detected by the pressure sensor 107 with identification information (hereinafter referred to as “pen ID”) of the electronic pen 3 to be described later, and transmits it to the computer 4. Further, when the user finishes writing one handwriting and moves the electronic pen 3 away from the dedicated paper 2 or the like, the pressure sensor 107 detects pen-up because the writing pressure exceeding a predetermined value is not 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 4.

  The LED 105 and the CMOS camera 106 are attached in the vicinity of the pen tip portion 103 of the electronic pen 3, and an opening 102 is formed in a portion of the housing 101 facing the LED 105 and the CMOS camera 106. The LED 105 illuminates infrared rays toward the vicinity of the pen tip portion 103 on the dedicated paper 2. The area is slightly shifted from the position where the pen tip 103 contacts the special paper 2 or the like. The CMOS camera 106 is provided with an infrared filter that transmits infrared rays and blocks non-infrared rays. The CMOS camera 106 captures a dot pattern in an area illuminated by the LED 105 and processes image data of the dot pattern as a 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, drawings, or the like are printed on the dedicated paper 2, the printed ink does not absorb in the infrared region, so the processor 108 can recognize the dot pattern. 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.

  While the user inputs, the processor 108 uses the dot pattern of the image data supplied by the CMOS camera 106 to determine the X and Y coordinates (hereinafter simply referred to as “coordinate data” or “ It is also called “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 3 facing the dot pattern, and this function is executed during coordinate calculation. Then, the processor 108 associates the entry time (time stamp) transmitted from the real-time clock 110, the writing pressure data, and the X and Y coordinate data. Since the 6 × 6 dot pattern on the dedicated paper 2 does not overlap with the dedicated paper 2, when the user enters characters or the like with the electronic pen 3, which position on the dedicated paper 2 corresponds to the written position. Can be specified by coordinate calculation by the processor 108.

  The memory 109 stores property information such as a pen ID for identifying the electronic pen 3, a pen manufacturer number, and a pen software version. Then, the communication unit 111 associates the pen ID, the entry time (time stamp), the writing pressure data, and the X and Y coordinate data and transmits them to the computer 4. In this case, transmission to the computer 4 by the communication unit 111 is immediately and sequentially performed by wireless transmission such as Bluetooth (registered trademark).

  One handwriting consists of one or a plurality of X and Y coordinates (coordinate points). The first and last coordinate points constituting the handwriting can be identified by the pen-down information and the pen-up information. Hereinafter, a set of one or a plurality of X and Y coordinate data generated from the pen down to the pen up of the electronic pen 3 and transmitted to the computer 4 is referred to as “handwriting data”. The handwriting data is stored by the computer 4.

  The electronic pen 3 may include a pen portion that is not filled with ink instead of the ink cartridge 104.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the flow of goods production processing. As shown in FIG. 6, when the producer enters handwriting on the dedicated paper 2 with the electronic pen 3 (step S1), the electronic pen 3 generates handwriting data and transmits the handwriting data to the computer 4 (step S2). Specifically, when the electronic pen 3 detects a pen-down on the dedicated paper 2, it generates handwriting data and transmits it to the computer 4 until the pen-down is detected. When receiving the handwriting data from the electronic pen 3, the control unit 41 of the computer 4 stores the handwriting data in the storage unit 42 and displays the handwriting data on the display unit 46. By repeating these processes, handwriting data serving as a draft of goods production is stored in the storage unit 42. The handwriting data can be corrected by an eraser tool which is a function of the computer 4.

  Next, the control unit 41 of the computer 4 converts the handwriting data into processing data for the processing device 5 and transmits it to the processing device 5 (step S3). On the other hand, the processing apparatus 5 receives the processing data and processes the processing target 6 based on the processing data (step S4). The processing device 5 and the processing object 6 differ depending on each embodiment described later.

<First Embodiment>
Next, the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining the goods production process in the first embodiment.

  The workpiece 6a in the first embodiment is a plate-like acrylic plate. The processing object 6a is, for example, 10 cm long × 10 cm wide. The processing device 5 in the first embodiment is a small cutting machine, and performs a penetration process on the workpiece 6a. The processing device 5 is, for example, “EGX-20” manufactured by Roland DG.

  FIG. 7A shows the dedicated paper 2 on which handwriting 11a to 11e is written by the producer. FIG. 7B illustrates the computer 4 that displays the handwriting data 12a to 12e for the handwriting 11a to 11e. FIG. 7C illustrates a conversion process from the handwriting data 12 a to 12 e to the processed data 13 a to 13 f by the computer 4. FIG.7 (d) has illustrated the process target 6a processed by the processing apparatus 5 based on the process data 13a-13f.

  When the producer enters a favorite illustration on the special paper 2 (see FIG. 7A), the computer 4 displays the handwriting data of the illustration (see FIG. 7B). The producer corrects handwriting data with the eraser tool or adds new handwriting data via the input unit 45 of the computer 4.

  In FIG.7 (c), the part used as the object of the pipe machining by the processing apparatus 5 is shown by the black thick line as process data 13a-13e. After determining a predetermined condition, the control unit 41 of the computer 4 converts it into machining data indicating the movement path of the tool of the machining apparatus 5 based on the handwriting data. Specifically, the control unit 41 determines whether or not the handwriting data to be converted is closed and includes other handwriting data inside. When the handwriting data to be converted does not include other handwriting data in the open circuit or inside, the control unit 41 converts the handwriting data into processing data in which the trajectory from the start point to the end point is the same as the handwriting data. On the other hand, when the handwriting data to be converted includes other handwriting data in a closed circuit and inside, it is converted into processed data that does not penetrate through a part of the handwriting data. This is to prevent the entire interior from falling off.

  The handwriting data 12a to 12c are closed, but do not include other handwriting data inside. The handwriting data 12d is an open circuit and does not include other handwriting data inside. Accordingly, the control unit 41 converts the handwriting data 12a to 12d into the processing data 13a to 13d having the same locus from the start point to the end point.

  On the other hand, the handwriting data 12e is closed and includes handwriting data 12a to 12d. Therefore, for the handwriting data 12e, the control unit 41 separates and converts a part of the handwriting data 12e into two pieces of processed data 13e and 13f that do not pass through. For example, the control unit 41 calculates a straight line that bisects the internal area of the handwriting data 12e, and sets each position on the handwriting data 12e that is separated from the portion where the straight line and the handwriting data 12e intersect by a certain distance. It is set as the start point or end point of the processed data 13e and 13f.

  In FIG.7 (d), the processed object 6a after a process is shown in figure. The black thick line has shown the pipe passage part. Since the handwriting data 12e is converted into two pieces of processed data 13e and 13f and converted, the eyes, nose and mouth are not lost, and the product is intended by the producer.

  The processed object 6a after processing shown in FIG. 7 (d), that is, the product can be used as a cookie punch, for example. For example, an illustration shown in FIG. 7D is drawn on the cookie surface by placing the product on the cookie dough and applying cocoa powder or the like. If the dough is baked in an oven, the original cookie with illustrations is completed. The completed original cookie and die can be sold to the producer or distributed free of charge.

  In addition to the cookie punch, (a) place the mold on the lunch box rice and sprinkle it, (b) place the mold on the okonomiyaki and pour green seaweed, (c) pizza dough The mold can be placed on top of the cake and cheese can be applied. (D) The mold can be placed on the cake and cream applied.

  With the goods production support system 1 of the first embodiment, it is possible to support the production of original goods that are interesting for the producer with simple work. In particular, the maker can draw food on the special paper 2 with the electronic pen 3 and produce a food punch, and can eat the food using the product on the spot. Etc. can participate, and the effect of attracting customers is also high. In addition, since the creator devises the illustration itself, the creator's own ingenuity can be exhibited.

Second Embodiment
Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining a goods production process in the second embodiment.

  The workpiece 6b in the second embodiment is a plate-shaped thermoplastic resin material (acrylic plate). The 1st processing apparatus 5 in 2nd Embodiment is a screen printer, and performs a printing process with respect to the process target object 6b. The first processing apparatus 5 is, for example, “Faster TTP-1515-MIP” (turntable screen printing machine) manufactured by Mino Group. Further, the processing objects 6c and 6d in the second embodiment are T-shirts. The 2nd processing apparatus 5 in 2nd Embodiment is a T-shirt printing machine, and performs a printing process with respect to the process target objects 6c and 6d. The second processing apparatus 5 is, for example, “Hobby T” manufactured by Mino Group.

  FIG. 8A illustrates the dedicated paper 2 on which handwriting is written by the producer. FIG. 8B illustrates a computer 4 that displays handwriting data for handwriting. FIG. 8C illustrates a processing object 6b processed by the first processing device 5 based on the processing data. FIG. 8D illustrates the processing objects 6c and 6d processed by the second processing device 5 based on the processing data.

  When the producer enters a favorite illustration on the dedicated paper 2 (see FIG. 8A), the computer 4 displays the handwriting data of the illustration (see FIG. 8B). The producer modifies handwriting data with the eraser tool, adds new handwriting data, or designates a color that fills the inside of the handwriting data of the closed circuit via the input unit 45 of the computer 4.

  When the control unit 41 of the computer 4 stores the handwriting data of a predetermined number of illustrations, it imposes the handwriting data on the size of the processing object 6b and converts it into processing data (print data). To the processing device 5. In the example shown in FIG. 8, the predetermined number is four. The first processing device 5 performs a printing process on the processing target 6b based on the processing data (see FIG. 8C). The work efficiency is improved by imposing a plurality of illustrations on one workpiece 6b.

  Further, the control unit 41 of the computer 4 transmits handwriting data of a producer who desires to produce a T-shirt to the second processing device 5. In the example shown in FIG. 8, the number of producers who wish to produce a T-shirt is two. The second processing device 5 performs a printing process on the processing objects 6c and 6d based on the processing data (see FIG. 8D).

  The processed object 6b after processing shown in FIG. 8C can be used for manufacturing a key holder. For example, when the processed object 6b after processing is baked in an oven or the like, the thermoplastic object 6b shrinks to a fraction of a size. The workpiece 6b is cut out for each illustration before or after baking in the oven. Also, before baking in an oven or the like, a small hole is made in the workpiece 6b with a punch or the like, and after shrinking, a key holder is passed through the hole, whereby the original goods are completed.

  Illustration handwriting data may be distributed to producers so that they can be used as smart icons. For example, if a device for near field communication (NFC, etc.) is connected to the computer 4, the handwriting data is automatically transferred to the producer's smartphone by the producer holding the smartphone over the device. Can do.

  Moreover, you may sell the processed objects 6c and 6d (T-shirt) after a process shown in FIG.8 (d) to a producer. When the second machining apparatus 5 is located far away, the computer 4 transmits machining data to the second machining apparatus 5 via the network. The processed objects 6c and 6d (T-shirts) after processing may be sent to the producer's home at a later date.

  With the goods production support system 1 of the second embodiment, it is possible to support the production of original goods that are interesting for the producer with simple work. In particular, since a plurality of handwriting data can be collectively converted into processed data, work efficiency is improved. In addition, since the producer only draws an illustration on the dedicated paper 2 with the electronic pen 3, children and the like can participate and the effect of attracting customers is high. In addition, since the creator devises the illustration itself, the creator's own ingenuity can be exhibited.

<Third Embodiment>

  The workpiece 6e in the third embodiment is a plate-shaped metal material. The processing device 5 in the third embodiment is a small cutting machine, and performs cutting (engraving) on the workpiece 6e. The processing device 5 is, for example, “EGX-20” manufactured by Roland DG.

  FIG. 9A illustrates the special paper 2 on which handwriting is written by the producer. FIG. 9B illustrates a computer 4 that displays handwriting data for handwriting. FIG. 9C illustrates a processing object 6e processed by the processing device 5 based on the processing data.

  When the producer enters his / her favorite character on the special paper 2 (see FIG. 9A), the computer 4 displays a desired photograph together with the handwriting data of the character (see FIG. 9B). The producer corrects the handwriting data with the eraser tool, adds new handwriting data, or corrects the position of the photograph via the input unit 45 of the computer 4.

  The control unit 41 of the computer 4 adds a photograph to the handwriting data of characters, converts it into processed data (print data), and transmits it to the processing device 5. The processing device 5 performs a cutting process on the processing target 6e based on the processing data (see FIG. 9C).

  The goods production support system 1 of the third embodiment can be used, for example, when taking a picture together with a character wearing a costume. First, take a photo with the character. Next, the producer or character enters a message or signature on the special paper 2 with the electronic pen 3. The computer 4 displays a photograph and a message together, adjusts the layout, and converts it into processed data. A hole is made in advance in the processing object 6e, and the processing apparatus 5 performs cutting on the front and back surfaces of the processing object 6e based on the processing data. Then, pass the key ring through the hole and the original goods will be completed.

  The processing object 6e can be sold as a souvenir with a signature by taking a picture with a character at an amusement park, for example. Further, the processing object 6e may be hung around the neck like a dog plate.

  The goods production support system 1 according to the third embodiment can support the production of original goods that are interesting for the producer with simple work. In particular, since a photograph can be added to the handwriting data and converted into processing data, various products can be produced. In addition, since the producer or the character only enters characters on the dedicated paper 2 with the electronic pen 3, children and the like can participate and the effect of attracting customers is high.

<Fourth embodiment>
Next, a fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining a goods production process in the fourth embodiment.

  The processing object 6f in the fourth embodiment is a material (resin, nylon, plaster, etc.) of a three-dimensional printer. The processing apparatus 5 in the third embodiment is a three-dimensional printer, and forms a three-dimensional object on the processing target 6f.
