Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

The present invention relates to a character/symbol pattern generator, and particularly to a character/symbol pattern generator.
This invention relates to a character/symbol pattern generator that can register and generate symbols, figures, etc. as pattern information made up of points at any time. Conventionally, in this type of character/symbol pattern generator, the input surface was not divided into grids when registering pattern information, so it was not possible to easily input a desired pattern. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a character/symbol pattern generator that can overcome the above drawbacks and easily input desired patterns. The present invention relates to a character/symbol pattern generator for registering and displaying a pattern consisting of [110] information of l11xn points arranged in a grid, which has a predetermined area and which can be input by touch. m
a pattern input section in which Xn pieces of the input detection elements are arranged in a lattice pattern and clearly outline the contours between the input detection elements; a coordinate control section for temporarily storing input information from the input detection elements; a pattern display section having grid-like display elements arranged in a corresponding manner and for sequentially displaying the input information stored in the coordinate control section; The character/symbol pattern generator includes a pattern registration section that outputs the input information corresponding to the information. Next, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view showing the pattern input section 1. The pattern input section 1 is divided into a grid (horizontal ai, vertical ah), and lines 1' indicating the grid are drawn. This line]' may be physically separated by an input sensing element or may be printed. Input detection elements are provided in the portions delimited by lines 1' indicating this grid. FIG. 2 is a plan view showing the pattern display section 1, in which a display element corresponding to one illusion 1 is arranged for each input detection element of the pattern input section 1. This pattern display section 2 may or may not have lines indicating a grid. The input detection element may be of any type as long as it has a certain area and has the function of detecting input when it comes into contact with it, such as a keyboard switch, a pressure-sensitive tablet, or a transparent conductive switch. May be used. The touch of a broken hand,
Alternatively, contact may be made with a special pen (such as a light pen) that detects input and position information. For contact fL, [1] is input, and in other places

It is [0]. On the other hand, the display element may be a light emitting diode or a liquid crystal, and any display element capable of displaying in a grid pattern is suitable. It is configured to turn on at the signal [1]. The division of the lattice only needs to match the pattern input section 1 and the pattern display section 2, so
There is no limit to the number of divisions. For example, when inputting kanji etc., horizontal 32. It is preferable to divide it vertically into 32 pieces. FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the eastern embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, a pattern input section 1 and a pattern display section 2 are shown.
are both connected to the puncturing control section 3, and the pattern registration section 4
is connected to the coordinate control unit 3 and the outside. Now, when the corresponding input detection section of the pattern input section 1 is touched (for example, the part 12 in FIG. 1), the input information (e, a), (e, b) is sent. The coordinate control unit 3 temporarily stores this information and also sends (e + Fl), (e
+b), and the pattern display section 2 lights up the corresponding front element. Similar processing is performed until all inputs from the pattern input section 1 are completed. When the pattern input is completed, the stored input information is sent to the pattern registration section 4. The pattern registration unit 4 converts this series of input information into a pattern (110) as shown in FIG. 4, adds one piece of code information to this pattern [7, and saves it. The storage format and medium are, for example, RAM of an IC (integrated circuit).
Random access memory) or floppy disk. Also, when the code information is viewed from the outside, the corresponding [110] pattern is output. FIG. 5 is a trunk view showing the implementation of the pattern input section 1 and the pattern display section 2 according to the embodiment of the present invention.If a transparent input detection section is used for the pattern input section 1, the pattern input section It is preferable to mount the pattern display section 2 on the back side of the lattice so that the positions of the respective grids correspond to each other one-to-one. In other words, the embodiment of the present invention has a lattice-like mXn
In a character/symbol pattern generator that can register and generate a pattern composed of [110] information of points at any time, an input detection element that has a predetermined area and detects an input when touched. a pattern input section which arranges 1×n mouths in a lattice shape and clearly defines the outline of each input detection element; a coordinate control section which temporarily stores input information from each input detection element of the pattern input section; Foreword [: A pattern display section that sequentially displays the input information stored in the coordinate control section on a grid-like display element arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the input detection elements of the pattern input section. The input information of the coordinate control unit is inputted in an n×m grid pattern/
It consists of a pattern registration section that creates a pattern with non-input information, adds one code information, and registers it, and outputs a pattern corresponding to the code information being registered to the outside when a code + 71 information is input from the outside. There is a sentence/symbol pattern generator that is characterized in that: According to the present invention, as explained above, the input surface is divided into lattice shapes and the outline of the lattice is clearly defined, so that a desired pattern can be input easily.
