JPH0594505A - Electronic board with function for inputting/storing/ editing image data - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to store image data and extract them when necessary by providing this electronic board with a display input screen function, an image storing means and an image edition processing means. CONSTITUTION:The electronic board is provided with the display input screen function 1 for directly inputting image data from the surface of a large liquid crystal screen by means of an exclusive pen, the image storing means 3 constituted of a floppy disk device or the like for storing image data and the image edition processing means 6 for editing the image data, i.e., for dividing the image data into plural parts and managing, extracting or contracting the divided data. In addition, an operation panel 5, an output device such as a printer, a control device 2 for controlling the whole device, and a communication equipment 7 are arranged on the side of the screen 1. When a MODEM is used as the equipment 7, communication with a similar electronic board arranged on another place can be attained through a line. Consequently image data can easily be stored and the preparation of pictures to be used for a conference and the storage of necessary used pictures can be attained.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an image processing technique for office equipment.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, image processing apparatuses in office equipment include a blackboard, a whiteboard, an electronic board with a copy function, and the like.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned conventional apparatus, character and graphic data are physically drawn on the board. The only available function was a copy of the rendered data. Therefore, the drawing data once erased is
The only way to reproduce is to redraw it in the same way. In addition, the drawing data cannot be edited such as enlarged. Furthermore, the only way to erase the drawing data is by using a tool such as a blackboard eraser.

[0004]

According to the present invention, a "display input screen function for directly inputting image data from the surface of a large liquid crystal screen using a dedicated pen and an image storage means for storing the image data is provided. , An electronic board with an image data input / storing / editing function, characterized in that it has an image editing processing means for editing the image data.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, a more detailed description will be given with reference to the drawings showing an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, one embodiment of the present invention is
It has a display input screen 1, a control device 2, a storage device 3, an output device 4, an operation panel 5, an image processing device 6, and a communication device 7.

The display input screen 1 is displayed by liquid crystal, and image data can be directly input by touching the surface thereof. The control device 2 controls the operation of the entire device. The output device 4 is a printer or the like. The operation panel 5 is attached to the side of the display input screen 1. The image processing device 6 manages the image data by dividing it into a plurality of pages and performs processing such as enlargement / reduction. The storage device 3 can be configured by a floppy disk device or the like, which enables easy storage and storage of image data.

If a modem is used as the communication device 7,
The line can be used to communicate with similar electronic boards elsewhere.

As described above, in this embodiment, the image data can be easily stored / saved by connecting the storage device such as the floppy disk device. That is, it is possible to create a screen to be used in the conference in advance or save a screen used in the conference that is considered necessary.

Further, when two electronic boards are connected and synchronized with each other by using a line, the data drawn on one side is immediately displayed on the other electronic board, which is perfect for a remote conference together with the video conference system. Simultaneous meetings can be held.

Further, since the image data is treated as an electric signal, the following functions can be used. Page management: If you secure areas for several screens in the storage device, you can draw image data not only on one screen but also on multiple screens by specifying pages. . Screen clear: In the past, work that used a blackboard eraser, etc., can clear the screen with a single button. Image processing: It is possible to enlarge and display a certain portion, or reduce and display an image of two pages on one screen. Data sharing: Data can be shared with other electronic boards. That is, the data created by a word processor or the like can be used.

[0012]

As described above, according to the present invention,
Image data can be stored and saved so that it can be retrieved when needed.
