Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the adaptability of the titled device by writing characters in accordance with a format of a character input frame, etc. which is previously drawn on a format sheet and therefore facilitating easy segmenting of handwritten input characters. CONSTITUTION:A format sheet 22 printed in an optional format is put on the surface of a tablet input board part 21 of a tablet input device 10. Then a writing form 23 having such a degree of thickness that can see through the format is put on the sheet 22. At the same time, an input indication area 22b of function information and a print format (character frame) 22a are printed on the surface of the sheet 22. The characters are handwritten on the form 23 by an input pen in accordance with the format 22a which can be seen through. Then the control processing function of the device 10 is switched by a switch, etc. to eliminate the control limitation for segmenting of characters. Thus it is possible to supply the information on an optional handwritten pattern with the same form 23.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Technical Field The present invention particularly relates to an improvement of a handwritten information input device using a tablet input panel.

<Prior Art> Various handwritten information input devices using tablet input panels have been proposed, and some of them have been put into practical use.

These conventional handwritten information input devices are configured such that, for example, a transparent acrylic board provided with character entry holes is placed on a writing paper placed on a tablet, and characters are written in the character entry holes.

That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the conventional handwritten information input device consists of an acrylic board or the like on which an entry form 3 is placed on a tablet input panel 2 of a tablet device 1, and character entry holes 4a are formed thereon. A character writing board 4 is disposed, and handwritten characters can be input by writing characters into the character writing holes 4a with an input pen 5.

Therefore, with the conventional device, handwritten characters can be input, but when inputting figures, it is necessary to remove the character entry hole or replace the character entry board 4, and it is necessary to use the same entry form for characters and figures. There was a problem in that it was not possible to input

<Tj> The present invention has been made for the purpose of providing a handwritten information input device with a simple configuration that eliminates the above-mentioned conventional problems and allows characters and figures to be input on the same entry form. To achieve this objective, the handwritten information input device of the present invention includes a tablet input panel, a format/sort placed on the tablet input panel, and a format/sort placed on the format sheet. Equipped with an entry form that allows you to see through the format drawn on the sheet and an input pen, it can be used to
The input pen is configured to enter handwritten information of characters and figures on the entry form placed on the sort. - <Example> Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the appearance of a general tablet device 10.

In FIG. 2, the tablet device 10 consists of a tablet input section II and a peripheral deck section 12, and a connecting section 15 is provided at the upper right corner of the peripheral deck section 12 to connect an input pen 13 to the input tablet main body by a cord 14. There is an input pen tray part 1 for installing and storing an input pen 13.
6 is provided.

FIG. 3 is a partially omitted cross-sectional perspective view of the tablet input device 10 when the input device according to the present invention is configured as the tablet input section 11 shown in FIG. 2 above.

In FIG. 3, a format sheet 22 made of a resin sheet with an arbitrary format printed on the surface is placed on the tablet input panel 21 of the tablet input device 10, and the format on the format sheet 22 is written on the format sheet 22. The entry form 23 is configured to be placed thereon, and has a transparency such as a thickness that allows it to be seen through.
For example, as shown in FIG. If characters are entered with the input pen 13 according to the handwritten information entry frame) 22a, it becomes possible to input handwritten characters that can be easily cut out in the same way as when inputting according to the conventional character entry hole. By switching the internal control processing function and removing the restriction on character cutting control by the entry frame, by drawing an arbitrary figure on the A2a, handwritten information such as figures can be obtained without being restricted by the character entry frame etc. ○This means that instead of using the conventional method of providing entry holes, inputting information should be made on the entry form 23 with the format sheet 22 created by printing etc. on the same plane as the underlay. Depends on what you did.

In the embodiment of the present invention described above, the input tablet device ff1
The tablet input panel section 21 of the IO is recessed, and the format sheet 22 and entry form 23 are fixed in the recess. However, if the format sheet 22 can be accurately fixed on the tablet input panel section 21, it is possible to determine whether there is a recess or not. is not particularly relevant.

FIG. 5 shows a functional block diagram when, for example, an electromagnetic induction type input tablet device IO according to the present invention is used as an input device for a Japanese word processor.

In FIG. 5, the handwritten characters inputted by the above method from the input tablet device 10 are recognized by the online handwritten character recognition unit 3.
0 is recognized and converted into a character code, and the character code is converted into a sentence containing kanji and kana by the conversion/editing device 40, displayed on the display 45 for confirmation, and then outputted by the printer 46.

Note that the format sheet can be created in any format depending on the purpose, and in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 22b is shown.

The format sheet has a thickness determined by the relationship with the input resolution, and for character input like this example, the thickness is 5 m.
It is preferable to use a resin sheet with a thickness of less than m.

<Effects> As described above, according to the present invention, by writing characters in a format such as a character entry frame drawn in advance on a format track, it is possible to easily cut out handwritten input characters, and It is possible to input handwritten information such as arbitrary figures, ignoring the character entry frame, and it is possible to provide a highly flexible handwritten information input device.
