Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify the operation of a picture reading device by sending the picture data which are read out of an operating part set in an optional place via the remote control to a display device. CONSTITUTION:When the read picture data are quickly displayed on a display device 8, a reading part 7 is remote-controlled via an operating part 6 and the picture data are sent to the device 8 from the part 7. Thus the picture data are displayed on the device 8. That is, an instruction is prepared to secure the mutual interlocking operations between the read of the picture data and the display of this data on the device in a remote control mode. Thus the picture data can be directly sent to the device 8 from the part 7 of a picture reading device 5 with no intervention of a host computer 4. As a result, the operation is simplified for the device 5.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an image reading device, and particularly to an image reading device that can be remotely controlled.

(Prior Art) With the recent development of large displays, etc., opportunities to use image reading devices to transmit digital image data to display devices at venues such as exhibitions and presentations are increasing.

FIG. 4 shows a configuration diagram of a conventional image reading device.

A conventional image reading apparatus 1 is operated based on a reading start command and/or a reading mode setting command from a host computer 3 via an I10 board 2. Image data was displayed on a display device (not shown) in response to commands from the host computer 3.

An explainer using a large display device must explain to a plurality of people while displaying an image displayed on a document or the like on the display device in a timely manner depending on the situation. For this reason, the host computer that controls the image reading device for display needs to be installed near the display device.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, since such a display device is often permanently installed in a venue or lobby, the host computer cannot often be permanently installed in the immediate vicinity of the display device.

Furthermore, since a plurality of display devices may be attached to one host computer, when the host computer is brought near one display device, it may become separated from other display devices.

Moreover, with conventional image reading devices, the operator must set the original, etc., then return to the operation panel of the host computer to start reading the original, set the image processing mode, etc., and the operation is complicated. It had some problems.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and provide an image reading device that is easy to operate.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve such an object, the present invention provides image reading means for reading image data, and image reading means for surrounding image data without going through an image reading means for reading image data and a host computer for processing image data. a remote control means for remotely controlling the reading means;
The image reading device is characterized in that the image reading device performs reading based on instructions from the remote control device.

[Function] According to the present invention, image data read from an operation unit located at an arbitrary location via a remote control can be sent to a display device, thereby eliminating the need to use a host computer.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

Embodiment 1 FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of an image reading apparatus of the present invention. In this embodiment, the host computer 4 can send a command to the image reading device 5 to start reading and/or set the mode.
The operating section 6 inside can remotely control the reading section 7. When processing the image data read by the reading section 7 or outputting it to the display device 8, etc.
When it is necessary to import image data into the host computer 4, the image data is transferred from the host computer 4 to the image reading device 5.
Processed image data or image data that has been captured once can be displayed on the display device 8 by giving commands to the display device 8 . In order to quickly display the read image data on the display device 8, it is possible to remotely control the reading section 7 via the operation section 6, transmitting data from the reading section 7 to the display device 8, and perform display operations. can. In the case of remote control, a command to perform the image data reading operation and the display operation of the display device 8 in conjunction with each other is prepared in advance, and the image data is transmitted to the image reading device without going through the host computer 4. Since data can be directly transmitted from the reading unit 7 of 5 to the display device 8, the operation becomes easy.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing another embodiment of the image reading device of the present invention. The operations for processing the image data read by the image reading device 9 and once importing it into the host computer 4 are the same as in the first embodiment, so they are omitted here.In this embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, the operations are By providing a section 1O outside the image reading device 9 and connecting both with a remote control cable, a reading start command and/or mode setting command is sent to the image reading device 9, and image data is displayed on the display device 5. It is. In this way, operation is simplified.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing still another embodiment of the image reading device of the present invention. In this embodiment, the relationship between the reading section 7 and the host computer 4 is the same as that in the first embodiment, so a description thereof will be omitted. In this embodiment, a remote control device 11 is provided outside the image reading device 10, and the operation section 12 in the remote control device 11 is operated to send the image reading device lO from the transmitting section 13.
The command is sent wirelessly by the receiving unit 14 of the O. The reading unit 7 is operated based on the data received by the receiving unit 14, and the read image data is displayed on the display device 5.

Operation is simplified due to operating via wireless.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, image data read from an operation unit located at any location via a remote control can be sent to a display device, so there is no need to go through a host computer. will be resolved.

According to the present invention, the operation is simplified because there is no need to go through a host computer.
