Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the operability of a graphic editing device, by providing a mechanism storing a continuous paper sheet, reading a character pattern written on the continuous paper by an operator by taking up the paper and saving the time to control the edited pattern. CONSTITUTION:A graphic editing device is provided with a take-up roll 23 which takes up a continuous paper sheet 22, a writing window 1, a photoelectric transducer 24 and a writing end switch 25. An edited pattern input part 5 connected to a control part 2 of the editing device detects the push of the switch 5 and feeds the writing end signal to the part 2. At the same time, the revolution of the roll 23 is started to move the paper 22, and the pattern corrected or added by an iperator is quantized by the transducer 24 to be fed to the part 2. Then the corrected or added graphic data given from the part 5 is received at the part 2 by referring to the region signal sent from a keybaord part 4 and the writing end signal sent from the part 5. The received graphic data is stored at a prescribed position of a memory part 6, and all data are displayed at a display part 3. Thus, the operability is improved for the graphic editing device.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a drawing editing device with good operability.

In conventional drawing editing devices, in order to make corrections or additions to previously read drawings, the corrections or additions were made by creating the corrections or additional drawings on a separate sheet of paper, and applying the drawings to the mechanism for reading the drawings in advance. . however,
With this device, each time a part of the drawing is revised or added, it is necessary to write the revised or additional drawing on a separate sheet of paper, which wastes a lot of paper. Also, it is troublesome to manage the revised and added drawings, and the operator has to write the revised or additional drawing on a separate sheet of paper. The drawback is that it must be located close to the reading mechanism.

In order to eliminate these conventional drawbacks, the present invention has a mechanism that incorporates continuous paper, and by winding up the continuous paper, performs scanning photoelectric conversion to read the characters and figures written by the operator on the continuous paper and edit drawings. It eliminates the need for operators to handle paper when editing.
To provide a drawing editing device that eliminates the trouble of managing edited drawings and has good operability. An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram showing one embodiment of the drawing editing apparatus of the present invention, in which 1 is a photoelectric conversion section, 2 is a control section, 3 is a display section, 4 is a keyboard section, 5 is an edited drawing input section, and 6 indicates the memory section.

Next, its operation will be explained. Registration of drawings is performed by the following procedure. The operator presses the registration control key and the drawing number key on the keyboard section 4. The keychain unit 4 detects the depression of the key and sends a registration control key depression signal and drawing number to the control unit 2. The photoelectric conversion unit 1 photoelectrically converts characters, figures, and turns on the drawing inputted from the drawing input system, quantizes them into binary values, converts them into digital electrical signals, and sends them to the control unit 2. The control unit 2 presses the key H? - Referring to the registration control key press signal and registration number sent from the card section 4, the character/figure data signal sent from the photoelectric conversion section 1 is sent from a predetermined address corresponding to the drawing number in the memory section 6. Store. In the embodiment of the present invention, modifications and additions to drawings once registered are performed by the following procedure.

Oni Rake presses the edit control key and drawing number key on the keyboard section 4. The keychain unit 4 detects the press of the key and transmits the edit control key press signal and the drawing number to the control unit 4.
Send to. The control unit 2 refers to the editing control key signal and the drawing number sent from the keyboard unit 4, and stores the data in the memory unit 6.
The data of the drawing with the specified drawing number is read out from a predetermined address in the drawing and outputted to the display unit 3. The display section 3 displays the sent drawing data on a display. The operator observes the displayed drawing and specifies an area on the drawing to be corrected or added by pressing the yl'' key on the keyboard section 4.The keyboard section 4 detects the pressed key and controls the control section. Then, the operator writes the characters or figures to be corrected or added in the entry window of the editing drawing input section 5, and presses the entry end switch.

FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the mechanism of the editing drawing input unit 5 in the embodiment of the present invention, where 21 is a writing window, 22 is a continuous sheet of paper,
23 is a continuous paper winding roll, 24 is a photoelectric converter, and 25 is a writing end switch.

The edited drawing input section 5 detects the depression of the entry end switch 25 and sends an entry end signal to the control section 2. At the same time, by starting the rotation of the continuous paper winding roll 23, the second
The continuous paper 22 is moved in the direction of the arrow in the figure, and the photoelectric converter 24 converts characters or figures written by the operator for correction or addition into binary quantized digital signals. It is sent to the control unit 2. The control section 2 refers to the area signal sent from the keyboard section 4 and the entry end signal sent from the edited drawing input section 5, and inputs the modified or additional drawing data sent from the edited drawing input section 5. The drawing number and area signal in the memory section 6 are then stored at a fixed address, and then all data of the drawing number is read out and sent to the display section 3.

In this way, by writing the drawing for editing on the continuous paper 22, it is possible to enter characters and figures that need to be corrected or added, so each time you edit, you can write the drawing on a separate sheet of paper. There is no need to write drawings to be corrected or added, and an operator is freed from the work of handling paper and managing drawings used for editing. In addition, scanning photoelectric conversion of written characters and figures is performed by the operation of winding up the continuous paper 22, so it can be realized with a simple mechanism, and the width of the continuous paper 22 can be adjusted or added. It can be realized with a small mechanism as long as it has a width that can be used.

As explained in detail above, the present invention has a drawing input mechanism with a built-in continuous paper (5), which has the effect of reducing the work of the operator, and can be used for an easy-to-operate document drawing processing system. It has a big effect.
