Description

The present invention incorporates a camera for photographing without pins blurring a character in a portable terminal, the information to be scrap such as letters and pictures in any range finding people who have captured by the camera in the terminal The present invention relates to a portable electronic scrap device that stores in a storage unit and displays information stored in the storage unit on a screen unit provided in the terminal.

  Regardless of the life scene of business or non-business, when you witness useful article information for yourself while browsing paper media of any size, that is, newspapers, magazines, documents, etc., the information from the paper media Many people use scrapbooks that are cut out, pasted on notebooks, etc., and stored and used. However, when using a scrap book, it is necessary to cut out and paste the paper medium, which will damage the material (paper medium) and require scissors and glue, making the information collection work complicated and time consuming. It takes. Further, as the information is scrapped, the collected “paper” information is accumulated and increases in volume, so that the number of scrap books increases and a large storage space is required.

  By the way, even with digital cameras currently on the market, article information such as newspapers, magazines, documents, etc. is photographed and stored in a storage unit in the camera body, and the information stored in the storage unit is displayed on a liquid crystal screen provided in the camera body. It is possible to display. That is, it is conceivable to use the digital camera as an electronic scrap book (electronic scrap device). If you use a digital camera as an electronic scrap device, you only need to press the shutter button toward the information you want to scrap, so you can easily collect information without damaging the material, and the amount of scraped information increases. Even if it does, the bulk does not increase.

  However, many digital cameras have a common viewfinder screen that defines the shooting range and a display screen that displays stored images. The screen (liquid crystal screen) is located on the back of the camera body. Therefore, the area of the liquid crystal screen is limited to be small. For this reason, when article information of a certain wide range (area) is photographed, when the photographed article information is displayed on a liquid crystal screen portion having a small area, characters are displayed in a small size and are crushed and cannot be read. . In order to be able to read the characters, it is necessary to take a close-up shot of the article so that the characters of the article become large, and to shoot many times while shifting the shooting range. In addition, if the shooting range is shifted in this manner and the close-up is taken many times, then it is necessary to display the article information with different shooting ranges in order when the taken article information is displayed on the liquid crystal screen for interpretation. The whole article information cannot be grasped at a glance, so it is not easy to use.

  A related prior art is that an image scanner is incorporated into a portable terminal, information such as text, figures and photos on paper is captured by the image scanner and stored in a storage unit, and the stored information is provided on the terminal. There is known an electronic scrapbook (Patent Document 1) which is displayed on the screen. In addition, a camera is incorporated in a portable terminal, and article information such as newspapers is photographed with the camera, and the information is sent to another terminal (computer) via the network (Internet) and displayed on the display unit of the terminal. An electronic content scrap system (Patent Document 2) is also known.

When the image is enlarged, the subject (an article such as a magazine) is enlarged, but the shooting range is narrowed. When the image is reduced, the text of the article is shot small, but the shooting range is widened. The zoom lever 10 is not limited to the seesaw type, and may be various types such as a type in which a short rod is tilted or a button type.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the zoom lever 10 is positioned in the vicinity of the corner of the terminal 2 below the horizontal shutter button 8 and to the right of the vertical shutter button 9 when the terminal 2 is in a landscape position. Is located. As a result, when shooting with the rectangular monitor screen portion 4c in landscape orientation, the zoom lever 10 can be operated with the right hand, and as shown in FIG. 8, when shooting with the rectangular monitor screen portion 4c in portrait orientation. However, the zoom lever 10 can be operated with the right hand, and the operability is improved.

  Information (images) photographed by the lens 3 is stored in a storage unit 5 (see FIG. 1A) provided in the terminal 2. In addition to the built-in memory (flash memory, hard disk, etc.) provided in the terminal 2, the storage unit 5 is an external memory (SD memory card, mini SD, micro SD, etc.) that is attached to and detached from the terminal. ) May be used in combination. The internal memory is not shown. The terminal 2 is provided with a USB terminal 11 so that information (image data or the like) can be transmitted and received between the storage unit 5 and the computer by connecting to an external computer.

  As shown in FIG. 5A, on the inner surface of the expanded terminal 2 (the side exposed by expansion from the folded state), a display screen unit (liquid crystal) that displays information stored in the storage unit 5 is displayed. Or organic EL) 6 is provided. The display screen unit 6 includes a first display screen unit 6a provided on the inner side surface 2f of the back plate unit 2a and a second display screen unit 6b provided on the inner side surface 2g of the front plate unit 2b. It consists of a screen.

  The area of the first display screen section 6a is larger than the area of the monitor screen section 4 (rectangular monitor screen section 4c). In addition to the monitor screen portion 4, members such as a horizontal shutter button 8, a vertical shutter button 9, and a zoom lever 10 are disposed on the outer surface 2e of the back plate portion 2a on which the monitor screen portion 4 is provided. Therefore, expansion of the area of the monitor screen portion 4 is limited by these members, but only the first display screen portion 6a is provided on the inner side surface 2f of the back plate portion 2a on which the first display screen portion 6a is provided. Therefore, the area of the first display screen portion 6a can be expanded to substantially the entire inner surface 2f of the back plate portion 2a.

For the same reason, the area of the second display screen section 6b is larger than the area of the monitor screen section 4 and is the same size (but not limited to the same size) as the first display screen section 6a. Therefore, in the first display screen unit 6a and the second display screen unit 6b, information displayed on the monitor screen unit 4 and stored in the storage unit 5 (scraped predetermined range information) is respectively displayed. The image can be enlarged and displayed as compared with the display on the monitor screen unit 4. The size of each screen portion is, for example, about 7 inches for the monitor screen portion 4 and about 8.1 inches for the first and second display screen portions 6a and 6b when the terminal 2 is set to A4 size when deployed. When the terminal 2 is set to the A3 size when deployed, it is conceivable that the monitor screen unit 4 is about 8.1 inches, and the first and second display screen units 6a and 6b are about 11.8 inches. These numerical values are merely examples, and other sizes may be used.

The number of pixels per unit area of the display screen unit 6 (first and second display screen units 6 a and 6 b) is larger than the number of pixels per unit area of the monitor screen unit 4. If the number of pixels per unit area of the display screen unit 6 is larger than the number of pixels per unit area of the monitor screen unit 4, the information displayed on the monitor screen unit 4 and stored in the storage unit 5 at the time of shooting is stored. Thereafter, when the image is displayed on the display screen unit 6, it can be displayed more clearly and precisely than when displayed on the monitor screen unit 4. The number of pixels in each screen portion may be, for example, 100 dpi (dot per inch) for the monitor screen portion 4 and 200 dpi (double the number of pixels) for the display screen portion 6. These numerical values are examples and other numerical values may be used.

  A method (action) of using the portable electronic scrap device 1 according to the present embodiment having the above-described configuration will be described.

  When scraping information from the material 12 such as a newspaper or a magazine, the terminal 2 is folded into a compact and easy to handle state. As shown in FIG. 6, when scraping horizontally long information from the material 12, the rectangular monitor screen 4 c is turned sideways. In this state, the left hand of the terminal 2 is grasped with the left hand to adjust the distance from the material 12, and the zoom lever 10 is operated with the right hand to adjust the shooting range and the enlargement / reduction ratio, and should be scraped on the monitor screen unit 4. Display the range of information.

  At this time, the characters of the information displayed on the monitor screen unit 4 may be small and unreadable. This is because browsing of information is not performed on the monitor screen unit 4. The resolution (the number of pixels per unit area) of the monitor screen unit 4 is sufficient to determine an approximate layout of information in the range when the range to be scrapped is determined. Therefore, inexpensive parts can be adopted for the monitor screen unit 4. When the range to be scrapped is determined by the monitor screen unit 4, the horizontal shutter button 8 is operated with the right hand to shoot. The photographed information is stored in the storage unit 5 of the terminal 2.

When browsing the scrapped information, as shown in FIG. 7A, the terminal 2 is expanded, and the information stored in the storage unit 5 is used as the first display screen unit 6a or the second display screen unit. 6b. Since the first and second display screen sections 6a and 6b are both larger in area than the monitor screen section 4, the information on the range displayed on the monitor screen section 4 at the time of shooting is enlarged and displayed as a whole. it can. Therefore, the scraped range information can be grasped at a glance while suppressing the collapse of characters.

  As shown in FIG. 7B, the information stored in the storage unit 5 may be displayed across the two screens on the first and second display screens 6a and 6b. By using the first and second display screen portions 6 a and 6 b as one display screen portion 6, the area of the display screen portion 6 can be more than twice the area of the monitor screen portion 4. . Therefore, the character information displayed on the monitor screen unit 4 at the time of photographing can be displayed on the display screen unit 6 (first and second display screen units 6a and 6b) with the area enlarged by twice or more.

  The number of pixels per unit area of the display screen unit 6 (first and second display screen units 6 a and 6 b) is larger than the number of pixels per unit area of the monitor screen unit 4. For this reason, when the scrapped information is displayed on the display screen unit 6 and browsed, it can be displayed more clearly and precisely than that displayed on the monitor screen unit 4 at the time of shooting. Therefore, the display screen unit 6 displays information more precisely than the monitor screen unit 4 and displays the information more precisely, and the collapse of characters can be further suppressed.

  The first display screen unit 6a and the second display screen unit 6b shown in FIG. 7A are preferably similar to the monitor screen unit 4 (rectangular monitor screen unit 4c) shown in FIG. This is because the information of the range displayed on the monitor screen unit 4 can be enlarged and displayed without being trimmed. For the same reason, the shape (rectangular shape) in which the first display screen portion 6a and the second display screen portion 6b shown in FIG. 7B are horizontally connected is similar to the monitor screen portion 4. Is preferred.

  The information display shown in FIG. 7A and the information display shown in FIG. 7B are switched by a switch (not shown) provided in the terminal 2. However, the terminal 2 is provided with a gravity sensor for detecting whether the orientation is the orientation of FIG. 7A or the orientation of FIG. 7B, and the terminal 2 is oriented as shown in FIG. Information is displayed on the first or second display screen section 6a or 6b, and when the terminal 2 is in the orientation of FIG. 7B, both the first and second display screen sections 6a and 6b are displayed. Information may be displayed across the screen.

  A function of enlarging / reducing the display images of the first and second display screen portions 6a and 6b (for example, an enlargement / reduction function using a touch panel provided on the first and second display screen portions 6a and 6b) is added to the terminal 2. Further, fine characters that cannot be read in the information display of FIG. 7A or the information display of FIG. 7B may be further enlarged.

  According to this portable electronic scrap device 1, since it is photographed and scraped with a camera, a natural landscape, a three-dimensional object, a TV screen, etc. can be easily and easily scrapped without damaging the material 12 to be scraped. Can also be stored. Moreover, since the display screen unit 6 is provided in the terminal 2, by carrying the terminal 2, the scrapped contents can be confirmed anytime and anywhere, which is convenient.

  As described above, the case of scraping horizontally long information from the material 12 has been described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. The case of scraping vertically long information will be described with reference to FIGS.

  When scraping vertically long information from the material 12, as shown in FIG. 8, the terminal 2 is oriented vertically, that is, the rectangular monitor screen 4c is oriented vertically. In this state, the left hand of the terminal 2 is gripped with the left hand to adjust the distance from the material 12, and the zoom lever 10 is operated with the right hand to adjust the shooting range and the enlargement / reduction ratio, and scraped on the monitor screen unit 4. The range of the information to be displayed is displayed, and shooting is performed by operating the vertical shutter button 9 with the right hand.

  In this way, even when the rectangular monitor screen 4c is in the vertical orientation, the vertical shutter button 9 and the zoom lever 10 can be operated with the right hand as in the case of the horizontal orientation. In addition, since the terminal 2 is folded and compact at the time of shooting, the handling is excellent, and the port 2 is also folded when the terminal 2 is carried, thereby improving portability. Information taken in the portrait orientation is stored in the storage unit 5 of the terminal 2.

  When browsing the information stored in the storage unit 5, the terminal 2 is expanded and displayed on the first or second display screen unit 6a or 6b as shown in FIG. As shown in b), the first and second display screen portions 6a and 6b are displayed across both screen portions. These switching operations may be performed by a switch (not shown) provided in the terminal 2, but a gravity sensor may be provided in the terminal 2 to switch according to the orientation of the terminal 2.

  Even when viewing the information of the vertical shooting, since the display screen unit 6 (first and second display screen units 6a and 6b) has a larger area than the monitor screen unit 4, the display screen unit 6 includes The information of the range displayed on the monitor screen unit 4 at the time of shooting can be enlarged and displayed as a whole. Therefore, the crushing of characters is suppressed, and the scraped range information can be grasped at a glance. Further, since the display screen unit 6 has more pixels per unit area than the monitor screen unit 4, the information displayed on the monitor screen unit 4 at the time of shooting is clearly and accurately displayed on the display screen unit 6. it can. Therefore, the collapse of characters can be further suppressed.

  In addition, since the effect in browsing the information image | photographed in portrait orientation is the same as the case of browsing the information image | photographed in landscape orientation demonstrated using FIG. 6 FIG. 7, detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.

  Note that the camera incorporated in the terminal 2 preferably has an autofocus function and a camera shake correction function. In addition, when an article such as a newspaper or magazine is taken from an oblique direction, it has an oblique correction function for correcting the image taken obliquely, that is, correcting the article as if taken from a right angle. Also good.

  The captured information is stored in the storage unit 5 together with the shooting date and time. When browsing the information in the storage unit 5, a list of shooting dates and times may be displayed on any of the screen units 4 and 6 so that the information can be searched by the shooting date and time. In addition, a plurality of information on each shooting date and time is displayed on one of the screens 4 and 6 (displayed small enough to understand the entire layout even if the characters cannot be read), and the information is searched using that display as a clue. You may make it do.
