Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain the parallel jobs with an electronic notebook by providing sheet which has bus connectors on both sides and the holes through which the sheet can be restricted to a cover and plural information input devices which input plural types of information to a CPU via the sheet. CONSTITUTION:The information inputted from an information input device 18 is processed by a CPU 12 via a bus connector 17. This processed information is stored in a RAM 13 which is nonvolatilized by a battery 15 and displayed or reproduced on an information display device 20. The device 18 can be attached and detached to and from a cover 11 via the connector 17. Thus plural devices 18 can be simultaneously packed and therefore used to a pocket bell, a pager, etc., in addition to an electronic calculator, a Japanese word input device, etc. Both a letter form 10 and a sheet 16 are restricted by the cover 11 through the holes of the form 10 and the sheet 16 and binders 19. As a result, the parallel jobs are attained with an electronic notebook.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an electronic notebook, and particularly to an electronic notebook that records and reproduces information using a CPU and memory.

[Conventional technology]

A conventional electronic notebook includes a cover that includes a battery, a CPU, and a RAM, and an information display device formed on the surface of the cover.
The system includes a bus connector that inputs and outputs bus signals from the CPU through metal terminals, and an information input device that can input information to and from the CPU through the bus connector. Next, the conventional electronic notebook will be explained in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing an example of a conventional electronic notebook. The electronic notebook shown in FIG. 2 has a battery 24 and a CPU 22.
A cover 2l with a built-in RAM 23, an information display device 25 formed on the surface of the cover 21, a bus connector 26 for inputting and outputting bus signals of the CPU 22, and a bus connector 26.
The information input device 27 includes an information input device 27 through which information can be input to the CPU 22. Here, since the information input device 27 can be attached to or separated from the cover 21, any one of a plurality of information input devices, such as one for a calculator or one for inputting Japanese, can be installed. Further, information input from the information input device 27 is processed by the CPU 22 through the bus connector 26,
The data is stored in the RAM 23, which is made non-volatile by the battery 24, or displayed or reproduced on the information display device 25. [Problems to be solved by the invention] The conventional electronic notebook described above has the following drawbacks. (1) Since only one information input device can be installed at the same time, parallel work such as performing calculations on a calculator while inputting Japanese is not possible.

(2) Since information input through the information input device is always recorded on the RAM, it is possible to register or delete information through the information input device, even if the information is to be discarded after one month, for example. This is necessary, and the work time required for information processing cannot be reduced compared to writing on memo paper and discarding memory paper in conventional notebooks.

[Means to solve the problem]

The electronic notebook of the present invention includes a notebook paper having a plurality of holes, a binder penetrating the six holes and binding the notebook paper, a cover including a battery, a CPU, and a RAM and having the binder; an information display device formed on the front surface; a bus connector for inputting and outputting bus signals of the CPU through metal terminals formed on the front surface of the cover; It includes a sheet having holes that can be restrained, and a plurality of information input devices that input information to the CPU through the sheet.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of an electronic notebook of the present invention. The electronic notebook shown in FIG. 1 includes notebook paper 10, one binder for binding the notebook paper 10, a battery 15, and a CPU 1.
2 and RAM 13 and has a binder 19.
1, an information display device 20 formed on the front surface of the cover l1, a bus connector 17 formed on the front surface of the cover l1, and a bus connector 17 on both the front and back sides, which can be bound to the cover 11 with a binder 19. Sheet 16 with holes that can be made
and an information input device 18 through which information can be input to the CPU through the seat 16. Here, information input from the information input device 18 is processed by the CPU 12 through the bus connector 17, stored on the RAM 13 made non-volatile by the battery 15, or displayed or reproduced on the information display device 20. The information input device 18 can be attached to or detached from the cover 11 through the bus connector 17. That is, since multiple devices can be implemented at the same time, for example, in addition to calculators, Japanese input, etc., a pager, a pager, etc. are used. In addition, the notebook paper 10 and the sheet 16 are bound to the cover 11 by passing the binder 19 through the respective holes. FIG. 3 is a sectional view showing an embodiment of the bus connector connection in the electronic notebook. Figure 3 shows the binder 31
and a plurality of sheets 32 and notebook paper 33 connected to the information input device. Metal terminals 35 are formed on the surfaces of the binder 31 and the sheet 32, and a bus connector 34 is formed by connecting them to each other. In addition, notebook paper 33 and sheet 32
Since it has a hole 30, the binder 31 passes through it and is restrained.

〔Effect of the invention〕

The electronic notebook of the present invention has the following effects.

(1) Since one or more of the information input devices can be installed at the same time, it is possible to perform parallel work, such as performing train calculations while inputting Japanese.

(2) Since the notebook paper is included, information that will be discarded after one month, for example, can be handled by writing it on the notebook paper and discarding the notebook paper, which reduces the work time required for information processing compared to conventional electronic notebooks. It can be made shorter.
