Description

The present invention relates to the display of imprint information in a data imprinting device for a camera.

[Conventional technology]

As a conventional data imprinting device for a camera, a device has also been invented that imprints calendar or time information as imprint information together with arbitrary character information.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

However, in the case of character information, unlike the time information, it is necessary to set the character to be imprinted when the user shoots, and if more different characters are imprinted, the character must be set again. Has the problem of being very annoying. There is also a method in which several types of words are set in advance and sequentially read out at the time of shooting, but this also requires the troublesome character setting and an IC with a large storage capacity, which is also costly.

Therefore, the present invention solves such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to eliminate the trouble of setting the imprint character at the time of shooting and to make the character information imprinting device cheaper. To supply in.

[Means for solving problems]

A data imprinting device for a camera of the present invention is a memory for storing clock information output means for outputting clock information of time or calendar, character information of characters or symbols, and numerical data corresponding to the character information in a one-to-one correspondence. Means, input means for selecting and inputting numerical data displayed in a list table for displaying a list of the character information and the numerical data corresponding to the character information in a one-to-one correspondence, and a numeral selectively input from the input means. Character selection means for selectively reading character information corresponding to data from the storage means, and a copy of at least one of the clock information output by the clock information output means and the character information selectively read by the character selection means. An imprinting information selecting means for selecting the imprinting information; and an optical means for imprinting the information selected by the information selecting means on a film. It is characterized by.

Further, the camera of the present invention includes clock information output means for outputting clock information of time or calendar, storage means for storing character information of characters or symbols and numerical data corresponding to the character information in a one-to-one correspondence. Input means for selectively inputting numerical data displayed in a list table for displaying a list of the character information and the numerical data corresponding to the character information in a one-to-one correspondence, and corresponding to the numerical data selectively input from the input means. Character selection means for selectively reading the character information from the storage means, and at least one imprinting information of the clock information output by the clock information output means and the character information selectively read by the character selection means. It is characterized by further comprising: imprint information selecting means for selecting; and optical means for imprinting the information selected by the information selecting means on a film.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on examples.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a display state of a data imprinting device for a camera of the present invention. Time information is displayed on a 7-segment display section 1 and character information is displayed on a 2 dot display section. The character information number is displayed on the 7-segment display section of 3. In the example shown here, the clock information of March 3, 1987 and *
The character information "Hinatsu Matsuri" and the character information number No4 (not imprinted on the film) are displayed.

 FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of the present invention.

4 is an oscillation circuit using a crystal oscillator, 5 is a frequency divider circuit,
6 is a time counter that counts hours, minutes and seconds, 7
Is a calendar counter that counts years, months, days, etc. Reference numeral 8 is an input circuit for inputting an external switch input by S1 to S5 and an imprinting signal linked with the shutter of the camera in S6. Further, S1 is an imprinting information selection switch for selecting imprinting information. The imprinting information may be calendar and character, time and character, character only, time and calendar, calendar only, time only, non-display, and the like. S2 switches between the normal display state and the correction state of the clock and the normal display state of characters and the selectable state.
In S3, the time set in S2 and the correction digit for correcting the calendar are selected. S4 and S5 are switches for correcting the number of the correction digit set in S3 and selecting the character in the selectable state of the character set in S2.S4 is a correction in the forward direction and S5 is a reverse direction. Correction to. Reference numeral 9 denotes a correction circuit for correcting the time and calendar, which is controlled by the input circuit and corrects the clock. Reference numeral 12 is an imprinting information selection circuit, which selects imprinting information by the S1 switch and sends it to the decoder 13. Reference numeral 10 denotes a storage circuit in which character information corresponding to the character information number is stored. Reference numeral 11 is a character information number selection circuit, which selects a character by the input circuit. Decoder 13 decodes the imprinting information, and 15 is driven by the display drive circuit 14
Is displayed on the display. 16 is a lamp lighting circuit, which is driven by an input signal synchronized with the camera shutter of S6,
By turning on the lamp of, the imprinting information displayed on the display section of 11 is imprinted on the film surface.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing character information corresponding to character information numbers stored in the memory circuit of the present invention. As shown
Twenty types of character information are stored in advance in the memory circuit, and are printed and displayed on the surface of the main body of the data imprinting device.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a selected state of character information corresponding to the character information number of the present invention. Now, suppose that 18 characters * daisy * are displayed, and as shown in 19, it is April 3, 1987, and you want to imprint * new *. The selection of the character information from the storage circuit 10 is performed by the S4 or A5 switch in FIG. 2 as described above.
In this case, press S4 switch four times to enter character information number No8
Change to * Nagaku *. If accidentally S4 like 20
If you enter the switch 5 times and No9 * Kodomonohi * is displayed, press the S5 switch once and return the display to No8 * Negakuki *. The method for selecting character information is as described above.

Next, when the camera shutter is pressed, the input signal synchronized with the shutter drives the lamp lighting circuit to light the lamp, and the character 8473 * Nakaku * displayed on the display is imprinted on the film surface.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, according to the present invention, the character information corresponding to the date can be imprinted by the simple selection operation of selectively inputting the numerical data displayed in the list table. Therefore, there is no need to set characters one by one every time you shoot, it is easy to organize and file photos after shooting, and when you look at them later, clock information and text information will make your memories clearer. There are effects such as making things. Moreover, the IC cost is lower than the method of setting an arbitrary character because of the difference in the storage method.
