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

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. An electronic book display device according to the present invention receives an input of data by a button or the like, an input unit 1 for analyzing the data, and a display for managing control of stored data and characters to be displayed on a screen. A management unit 2, a character control unit 3 that manages a time interval between lines to be displayed and indicates a line to be displayed, and image data and text data to be displayed on the screen are accumulated by an IC card, a floppy disk, a hard disk, or the like. A data storage unit 5, a data management unit 4 that manages image data and text data, and a display control unit 6 that controls the data actually displayed on the screen.
And a display unit 7.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

A user operates a button or the like to give an instruction to start display and set a display time interval. In the input section 1,
It receives the data and determines what the data means. When the data is the setting of the time interval for displaying one line on the screen, the set time interval is transmitted to the character control unit 3. If the data is an instruction to display the screen, the instruction is transmitted to the display management unit 2. The character control unit 3 determines the line to be displayed according to the instruction from the display management unit 2, and transmits the display instruction to the display control unit 6 in accordance with the time interval designated by the input unit 1. In the display management unit 2, the data management unit 4, the character control unit 3, the character control unit 3, so as to start the screen display or stop the screen display according to the instruction from the input unit 1.
It manages the operation of the display control unit 6. That is, the data management unit 4 is instructed to read out the data necessary for screen display, the character control unit 3 is instructed that there is a line to be displayed, and the display control unit 6 is instructed to start screen display. Give instructions.

The data management unit 4 reads image data and text data from the data storage unit 5 according to an instruction from the display management unit 2 and transfers the data to the display control unit 6. The data storage unit 5 is a storage device such as an IC card, a floppy disk, a hard disk, etc., and stores image data and text data. The image data and the text data are read from the data storage unit 5 according to a read instruction from the data management unit 4, and the data management unit 4
Sent to.

In the display control unit 6, according to the instructions from the display management unit 2, the character control unit 3, and the data management unit 4, the data actually displayed on the screen is created from the data sent from the data management unit 4, and the data is displayed. The data is sent to the display unit 7.
The display unit 7 displays image data and text data on the screen of an output device such as a liquid crystal according to the data from the display control unit 6.

Next, a specific example will be described. First, the input unit 1 sets a time interval for displaying one line on the screen. The time interval is transmitted to the character control unit 3. Furthermore, the instruction to start the screen display from the input unit 1 is given by the display management unit 2.
Sent to.

The display management unit 2 instructs the data management unit 4 to read the text data and the image data in order to start displaying the screen, and the read data is sent to the display control unit 6. Further, the display control unit 6 is instructed to display the text data for one screen, and the character control unit 3 is
Instruct to display a character-controlled screen.

The character control unit 3 instructs the display control unit 6 to display one line at a time from the beginning of the screen at a time interval set by the user.

The display control unit 6 receives the image data and the text data sent from the data management unit 4, and receives the display management unit 2
According to the instruction sent from the character control unit 3, the display method of the line to be displayed at present is determined, and the display instruction is sent to the display unit 7. The display unit 7 displays the actual screen.
The screen displayed at this time is as shown in FIG.

In the above embodiment, the display control unit 6 displays the line after receiving the instruction to display the line currently to be displayed from the character control unit 3. According to this embodiment, since the lines are displayed in advance at a predetermined time interval, one screen at a time is not displayed, and the line that the user should read at present becomes clear, and the line reading error is prevented. It can be lost.

In addition, an embodiment will be described below in which a line reading error can be eliminated by a method different from the above method. The display management unit 2 instructs the display control unit 6 to display the text data for one screen, and the display control unit 6 receives the text data for one screen from the data management unit 4 and displays it. In this way, the display unit 7 is instructed. The display unit 7 displays the text data for one screen on the output device.

Next, the character control unit 3 instructs the display control unit 6 line by line from the beginning of the screen to instruct which line should be read at present.
In the display control unit 6, according to an instruction from the character control unit 3, the characters of the line to be read at present are line by line at predetermined time intervals,
The display unit 7 is instructed to perform reverse display, halftone display, or display with different colors. In accordance with this, the display unit 7 displays the characters on the actual screen in reverse video, in a shaded manner, or in a different color. FIG. 4 shows a screen displayed when the shaded display of characters is used.

It should be noted that the display can be performed line by line at the time interval set by the user, but this may also be performed by character unit.

[0024]

According to the present invention, the characters displayed on the screen are displayed line by line from the beginning of the screen by the user at predetermined time intervals. You can avoid misreading a line by setting the time to start displaying the next line to match the time you read that line.

Further, the contents of one screen are displayed on the screen at a time, and thereafter, each line from the beginning of the screen is displayed in reverse video, halftone print, or display in which the character color is changed. As a result, the line that the user should read at present becomes clear, and there is an effect that misreading of the line can be eliminated. It also has the effect of playing a role as a pacemaker for reading speed.
