Thus, the figure of an operating button 4b and the figure displayed by the indicator 6b go to be positions inclined to about 45 deg. to the left side as shown in (b), the inclined direction goes to be opposite and almost in the same condition, the figure can be read.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an electronic blackboard device having a function as a blackboard and a copying function, and in particular, an operation for specifying the number of copies and displaying the specified number of copies. This relates to the structure of the display section.

[Conventional technology]

An example of an electronic blackboard device having a blackboard function and a copying function is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. 58-44283.

The outline will be explained with reference to FIG. 2. In the figure, 1 is the main body of the device, 2 is a leg that supports the main body 1, and 3 is a sheet-like writing medium having the size of multiple pages. The medium 3 is wound and supported in tension between rollers (not shown) arranged in the apparatus main body 1 so that only one page of the medium 3 appears in front of the apparatus, and by rotating the rollers, the second
In the figure (,), pages can be changed by moving up and down.

In addition, the apparatus main body 1 is provided with a reading means such as an image sensor (not shown), and a copying means such as a printer (not shown).

Reference numeral 4 denotes an operation display section provided on the surface of the device main body 1 so as to be located below the writing medium 3 in FIG.

In this configuration, images such as letters and figures can be written on the writing medium 3 using a water-based felt pen or the like,
Further, the written image can be erased by wiping it with an eraser or cloth.

On the other hand, when copying a written image, by operating the operation display section 4, the roller is driven and the writing medium 3 is
When the is moved in a predetermined direction, the images written on the writing medium 3 are sequentially read by a reading means (not shown) along with this movement, and the read images are copied to a predetermined size by a copying means (also not shown). The image is copied onto copy paper and discharged outside the main body 1 of the apparatus.

FIG. 3 is a front view of the conventional operation display unit in the above-mentioned electronic blackboard device. A plurality of operation buttons 5a (10 in the figure) for specifying the number of copies (up to 99 copies possible), and by pressing these buttons 5, the specified number of copies is displayed on a liquid crystal display, etc., and the displayed number is decremented as copies are made. indicator 6a
, where each operation button 5 & is shown in Fig.
), the numbers 1, 2, . . . 9.0 are placed in a vertical position, and the numbers on the display 6a are also displayed in a vertical position.

However, in recent electronic whiteboard devices, for example, the
) is rotatably supported on the legs 2 at a position P on its back surface, and by rotating the apparatus main body 1 90 degrees around this position P, as shown in FIG. 2(b).
Consideration is being given to making it horizontal as shown in the figure below.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, in such a case, the conventional operation display section 4a displays the numbers attached to each operation button 5a and the display 6a when the main body 1 of the apparatus is in the vertical state shown in FIG. Since the numbers displayed are arranged vertically as shown in 31(,), when the apparatus main body 1 is in a horizontal state as shown in FIG. 2(b), the operation button 5a is There is also a problem in that the numbers on the display 6a lie horizontally as shown in FIG. 3(b), making these numbers very difficult to read.

The present invention was made to solve these problems, and it is possible to change the angle of the numbers attached to the operation buttons and the angle of the numbers displayed on the display when the main body of the device is in a vertical position. The object of the present invention is to realize an operation display section of an electronic blackboard device that allows numbers to be read in a substantially the same tilted state even when it is in a horizontal state.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a plurality of operation buttons for specifying the number of copies of an image written on a writing medium, with numbers set at 45 degrees with respect to the vertical and horizontal directions of the main body of the device, or at a maximum angle of 45 degrees. The number displayed on the display is also inclined at a similar angle.

[Effect]

According to the above-mentioned means, when the main body of the device is in a vertical state, each operation button and the number on the display are tilted at an angle of about 45 degrees to the right toward the main body of the device, and the main body of the device is tilted at an angle of 90 degrees. When rotated into a horizontal state, each of the numerals is tilted to the left by about 45 degrees, making it easier to read the numerals instead of lying horizontally as in the conventional case.

〔Example〕

Examples will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front view showing an embodiment of the operation display section of the electronic whiteboard device according to the present invention, and FIG. 2(b) corresponds to h when the main body 1 of the apparatus is in a horizontal state as shown in FIG. 2(b).

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 4b indicates an operation display section, which is provided as the operation display section 4 in the main body 1 of the apparatus shown in FIG.

The operation display section 4b has a plurality of operation buttons 5b (10 in the figure) for specifying the number of copies to be made, and by pressing any of these operation buttons 5b, the specified number of copies is displayed on a liquid crystal display, and the number of copies is also displayed. It has a display 6b that decrements the displayed number in accordance with the number, and is functionally similar to the one shown in FIG.

However, in this embodiment, the numbers 1 and 2 of the operation button 4b are
...9,0 as shown in Figure 2 (,), the device main body 1
When the device is in a vertical state, each operation button 5b is tilted at an angle of 45 degrees or very close to the vertical and horizontal directions of the main body 1, as shown in FIG. 1 (,), for example. In addition, the display device 6b is arranged so that the numbers displayed on it are tilted at the same angle as the numbers shown on the operation button 5b, and the structure differs from that shown in FIG. 3 in these points. There is.

Incidentally, methods for attaching numbers to the operation button 5b include, for example, a method of pasting a sheet with numbers printed in advance on the operation button 5b, and a method of printing numbers directly on the operation button 5b. It can be attached in any way.

In addition to the operation button 5b and the display 6b, the operation display section 4b also includes a button for specifying the moving direction of the writing medium 3 shown in FIG. Although buttons and the like for specifying are provided, these are not shown and omitted.

Next, to explain the operation, when the device body 1 is in the vertical state as shown in FIG. 2(,), the operation display section 4b provided on the front of the device body 1 is In this state, the numbers on the operation button 5b and the numbers displayed on the display 6b are tilted to the right by about 45 degrees, and are not particularly difficult to read.

Therefore, when the main body 1 of the apparatus is rotated 90 degrees around the position P to take a horizontal state as shown in FIG. 2(b), the angle of the operation display $4b changes by 90 degrees along with the main body 1 of the apparatus.

As a result, the number on the operation button 4b and the number displayed on the display 6b are approximately 45 on the left side as shown in FIG. 1(b).
Although the direction of inclination is opposite to that shown in Figure 1 (,), the numbers can be read in approximately the same position.

In the above-described embodiment, when the main body 1 of the apparatus is in the vertical position, the operation buttons 5b and the numbers on the display 6b are tilted to the right by approximately 45 degrees, but they may also be tilted to the left by approximately 45 degrees. , in this case, move the device body 1 in the direction opposite to the arrow 9
The same result can be obtained by rotating the button 5b by 0 degrees.Also, in the embodiment described above, only the numbers were tilted by about 45 degrees without changing the direction of the operation button 5b. It is a hot argument that the numbers could be tilted by about 45 degrees.

【Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention has the advantage that the number attached to the operation button for setting the number of copies and the number on the display displaying the specified number of copies are set at an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the vertical and horizontal directions of the main body of the apparatus. Or, because it is tilted at an angle very close to that angle, even if the main body of the device is rotated 90 degrees, the numbers will not be tilted at an angle of about 45 degrees or close to it in the opposite direction to the initial tilt direction. Since it does not lie horizontally like in the past, it has the effect of making the numbers easier to read.

Further, since the present invention can be implemented by simply changing the angle of the numbers attached to the operation buttons, the angle of the display, etc., there is no particular increase in manufacturing costs, and there is an advantage that it can be realized at low cost and easily.
