Abstract

PURPOSE:To automatically turn over the page of a book by moving a page turning-over discriminating means on a book by the command from a data processing means to levitate paper at a place of a predetermined page and judging that the paper is levitated by said discriminating means and turning over the levitated paper by a page turning-over means. CONSTITUTION:A book 6 is placed on a book placing table 5 in such a state that the page of the book is turned over and a page turning-over discriminating means 1 is placed on the left-hand end of the turned-over page. When page turning-over data enters the page turning-over discriminating means 1, this page turning-over discriminating means 1 shifts toward the end of the book while applies pressure to the book downwardly and the sensor provided to the page turning-over discriminating means 1 reacts at a place where one paper is levitated (at a place where the sound generated by the levitation of the paper is emitted) to stop the page turning-over discriminating means 1. Immediately thereafter, a page turning-over means 2 is inserted in the gap generated by the turned-over page and rotated and moved to the right by 90 deg. to turn over the page.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a page turning device that can automatically turn the pages of a book.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, this type of moving device has been equipped with an input means, a material moving means, and an information processing means, and is configured to move the material by processing information inputted from the input means by the information processing means. However, there was no page-turning device that could automatically turn the pages of a book, etc., and when using a word processor or computer, the user had to let go of the keyboard each time to turn the pages of a book.

Problems to be solved by the invention In this conventional manual page turning method,
Not only was it time consuming, but the key buncher had the problem of turning the pages of a book and then putting his hands back on the keyboard in the wrong place.

The present invention solves the above problems, and aims to provide an excellent page turning device that can automatically turn the pages of a book when information is input from an input means. .

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a book stand, an input means for inputting a signal, an information processing means capable of processing the input signal, and an instruction from the information processing means. a page-turning identification means that moves over the book and raises the paper at a predetermined page location to determine that the paper has been lifted; and a page-turning means that turns the raised paper in the opposite direction by the page-turning identification means. It consists of the following configuration.

Function The present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, so you can turn the pages of a book etc. by pressing the button without using your hands, so you can easily turn the pages of a book, and you can read a book open for a long time. It's not too tiring, and when you use it on a word processor or computer, you can reduce the amount of time it takes to take your hands off the keyboard when turning the pages of a book you're looking at for reference.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7.

FIG. 1 is an external view of a page turning device according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a page-turning identification means such as a pressure transfer device with a sound sensor, 1a is a sound sensor, 2 is a page-turning means constituted by a movable mold with a motor, etc.
Reference numeral 3 designates an input means composed of a switch, etc., 4 an information processing means, and 5 a book stand. FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram of the page turning device shown in FIG. 1, in which the same parts as in FIG. 1 are given the same numbers.

Next, a page turning method using each of the above means will be explained. As shown in FIG. 3, first, the book 6 is placed on the book stand 5.
Turn the page and place the page turning identification means 1 on the left edge of the turned page.Here,
When the page turn information enters the page turn identification means 1, the page turn identification means 1 shifts toward the edge of the book while applying downward pressure on the book, as shown in FIG. 4, and a sheet of paper rises up. Place 7 (place where you heard the sound of paper lifting up)
The sensor attached to the page turn identification means 1 reacts and stops. Immediately thereafter, the page turning means 2 is inserted into the gap between the turned pages as shown in FIG.
It rotates 80 degrees to the right and turns the pages.

Next, the overall operation of the above embodiment will be explained. In the above embodiment, a rightward page turning key is provided on any key of the input means, and when that key is pressed, rightward page turning information is transmitted to the page turning identification means through the information processing means. Then, the pages of the book will be turned from left to right using the page turning method explained above. In addition, if the input means is provided with a similar page turning identification means at the right end of the page and a page turning key for the left direction, and the page turning means is also rotated to the left, pages can be turned in the opposite direction. However, if you press the page turn key immediately after entering a number, it is easily possible by modifying the information processing means to turn the number of pages in succession. is clear.

FIG. 7 shows the overall flow of such a page turning device.

Furthermore, if you use this page turning device in a word processor, personal computer, etc. and assign a ``page turning key'' to any key on the keyboard, you will not have to take your hands off the keyboard every time.

In this way, according to the above embodiment, it becomes easier to turn the pages of a book, the time required to take one's hands off the keyboard of a word processor or personal computer, etc. can be reduced, and the key buncher that performs blind touching can be removed. Work efficiency can be improved by drastically reducing the number of times the user misplaces his or her hand on a key after turning the pages of a book.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above embodiments, the present invention provides a book stand, an input means for inputting a signal, an information processing means capable of processing the input signal, and an instruction from the information processing means. a page-turning identification means that moves over the book and raises the paper at a predetermined page location to determine that the paper has been lifted; and a page-turning means that turns the raised paper in the opposite direction by the page-turning identification means. The built-in structure makes it easy to turn the pages of a book, and you won't get too tired even if you read an open book for a long time.When using a word processor or computer, you can easily turn the pages of the book you are looking at for reference. It is possible to provide a page turning device that can reduce the time it takes to take your hands off the keyboard when turning pages.
