JPS58109972A - Scriving machine with brush writing - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a scriving machine performing the same fair copy as brush writing, by reading a manuscript for character recognition, simultaing brush writing characters corresponding to hand writing through the operation processing and printing out the result. CONSTITUTION:A manuscript character is read at an optical character reader 1, characteristics are picked up at a characteristic pickup circuit for each character, it is compared with the characteristic of the standard characters stored in an ROM 3 and recognized as a specific character. A centeral operation processing unit 4 performs operation how to move a paint brush for brush writing for the recognized characters accoding to the order of writing stored in the ROM 3. In this case, the character output is provided with the individuality through a little change of the operation parameters depending on the element of the individuality analyzed with a voice analysis circuit 7 for the voice of the user from a voice input circuit 6, the stroke information is operated and outputted on a printer 9 via a print machine interface circuit 8 to obtain brush writing characters.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a transcription machine that can copy handwritten text as if it had been written with a brush.

This is because there are fewer opportunities to write with a brush these days.

The number of people who are good at writing with a brush is increasing. For this reason, there is a strong desire to have a ghostwriter who can write beautiful handwriting available. As letters from individuals to individuals, they had many drawbacks, both in terms of printing costs and the inability to express individuality.

The object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art and to provide a transcription machine that can print documents from two individuals to each other with unique handwriting and beautiful characters.

The main point of the present invention is that when writing with a brush, the movement of the brush is calculated and printed using a micro-combiner, so that handwritten characters are beautifully printed. The reason lies in the fact that the characters are written in beautiful handwriting.

An example of a transcription machine using the method of the present invention is shown in the at diagram. 1 in the figure is an optical character reading unit that reads handwritten characters;
2 is a feature extraction circuit for the read characters, 3 is a memory (ROM) that stores the font and stroke order of kanji or kana, and 4 is a central processing unit (ROM) that determines whether handwritten characters match the characters stored in the memory. 5 is a RAM serving as a work area for the central processing unit 4, 6 is a voice input circuit, and 7 is a voice analysis circuit for extracting voice features.

Reference numeral 8 indicates an interface 7A to the printing press, and 9 indicates a printing press.

The operating principle of FIG. 1 is shown in FIG. 2. The handwritten character "Tegaki-1--0" is read by the optical character reading unit 1 as (at), and the feature extraction circuit 2 extracts four characteristics of the character as (bl) for each character. Characteristics and R
Standard characters stored in OM 3 (compared with the characteristics of 1
% Fixed characters (dl) The procedure up to this point is already known as there is already technology for recognizing postal codes.

Here, the central processing unit 4 calculates how the brush will move if the specified character (dl) is written with a brush according to the stroke order (e) stored in the ROM!. One reason why the calligraphy font of the characters was not stored directly in @ROM 5 is that in order to convert the calligraphy font pattern into digital pattern information, precision of at least 500 dots (vertical) x 300 dots (horizontal) is required. In order to store a large number of characters, a large capacity memory is required, and the device becomes large in size, and the handwriting produced by a single brush stroke has various characteristics.

In other words, it becomes impossible to give it individuality.

The information stored in ROM 5 is, for example, the starting point')
A (x+ +y+ )+ B (X!1y2)I
This includes stroke order information such as C (xs+ys), and stroke stroke information such as ``Curve surface between rBC''. The central processing unit 4 calculates the movement of the brush in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction with respect to the paper surface, as well as in the Z-axis direction perpendicular to the paper surface. At this time, the speed of the basket, the thickness of the stroke, the roundness of one character, etc.

This is achieved by slightly changing the calculation parameters depending on factors such as personality factors 2, such as gender, age, strength, etc., which are obtained by analyzing the user's voice input from the voice input circuit 6 by the voice analysis circuit 7.

Add individuality to character output.

As an example, a factor of individuality (one year age difference between men and women) that can be analyzed by the voice analysis circuit 7 is α4. α2---α.

The factors related to the movement of the basket of the two brush strokes (different basket speed, thickness, roundness, etc.) are calculated as Pl + "2--- Pn
If it is decomposed into N parts and the above two factors can be combined with each other in a linear combination, then the movement Q of the brush on the paper becomes a set of cross sections of Z=0, and it is expressed as follows: The handwriting obtained by the brush is outputted by a printing machine 9 via a printing machine interface 7 and a chair circuit 8. The printing technology is a well-known technology such as a graphic printer, an inkjet printer, etc., so a description thereof will be omitted here.

As described above, the feature of the present invention is that the user can change the handwriting output from the calligraphy brush to either a thick character (f) or a soft character (g).

From the above, 1. By using the method of the present invention, it is possible to obtain a calligraphy output according to the individuality of the user, and 1. it is possible to obtain writing in a beautiful calligraphy font that is full of individuality even in the exchange of documents between individuals. I can do it.

In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, hiragana was explained, but 1
It is clear that the same effect can be obtained even when the method of the present invention is applied to Kanji, Katakana, or Chinese characters mixed with Kanji and Kana. In this case, a large-capacity memory is required to store the font and ikegaki order, so a semiconductor memo is required! J(
However, this can be easily solved by using a large-capacity memory device such as a floppy disk, bubble memory, or optical disk.
