Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to transfer with enlargement/reduction by converting an information signal that is stored by a storing means to the infor mation signal that is much more enlarged/reduced by an enlarging/reducing means and recording it on a prescribed recording paper by a recording means. CONSTITUTION:A character or a graphic etc. that is written on an original P is ready by an optical reading means 1 and is amplified by an amplifier 3 and it is converted to a digital signal after inputted to an analog/digital converting means 4. This signal is stored temporarily at a storing means 5 as a signal W that is synchronized with the signal of a detecting means 2 which detects the position of the optical reading means 1. And when the enlargement/ reduction is requested, it is indicated by an indicating means 8 and the information signal is converted by an enlargement/reduction converting means 7 and, it is read out as a synchronizing signal R by reading the signal synchronized with the recording speed of a recording means 6 and the character or the graphic etc. written on the original P of a prescribed paper S by the recording means 6 is transferred.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement in an electronic transfer system for copying characters, figures, etc. drawn on a document onto a separate layer of paper in the form of a sheet or roll.

<Prior art> The following electronic transfer system was previously proposed.

That is, an optical reading means for reading characters, figures, etc. on a document, a detection means for detecting the lateral position of the optical reading means, and an amplifying means for amplifying the information signal read by the optical reading means. an analog-to-digital conversion means for converting the signal amplified by the amplification means into a digital signal; a storage means for storing, for example, one line of a manuscript, of the information signal converted by the analog-to-digital conversion means; This electronic transfer system includes a recording means for recording on a predetermined paper based on an information signal stored by a storage means.

This electronic transfer system can be operated manually or with power drive.
By tracing the required part of the document using an optical reading section, characters, figures, etc. on the document are transferred and recorded onto another sheet of paper.

FIG. 3 shows a block diagram of one embodiment of this electronic transfer system.

In the figure, P is a document on which characters, figures, etc. are drawn, l is an optical reading means for reading the letters, figures, etc. drawn on the document P, and 2 is an optical reading means when the optical reading means l is moved over the document. Detection means for detecting position.

an amplifier for amplifying the 3D screen information signal; 4 is the amplifier 3;
5 is a storage means for storing the digital information signal (screen information) from the analog-to-digital converting means 4. 6t'i A means (for example, a thermal head printer, etc.) that receives the digitally converted information signal temporarily stored in the storage means 5 and records it on a prescribed recording paper S.

The above is the electronic transfer system proposed earlier, but in this method, the size of the recorded characters and figures remains constant, that is, the size remains almost the same as the characters and figures of the original.

<Object of the Invention> Therefore, in the present invention, the information signal stored by the storage means is further enlarged or reduced by the enlargement/reduction means, and the converted information signal is printed on a predetermined recording paper by the recording means. The purpose is to provide an electronic transcription system for recording.

<Embodiment of the Invention> An embodiment of the electronic transfer system of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 (al, (bl, (c)).

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of an electronic transfer system according to the present invention. In the figure, P denotes a document with characters, figures, etc. drawn on it, and 1 denotes an optical reading means for reading the characters, figures, etc. drawn on the document P.

2II'i a detection means for detecting the position of the optical reading means 1 when it is moved onto the original P; 3 an amplifier for amplifying the screen information signal; 4H converting the analog output of the amplifier 3 into a digital signal; Analog-to-digital conversion means, 5I
li is a storage means for the digital information signal (screen information) from the analog-to-digital conversion means 4. 7Fi is an enlargement/reduction means for converting the digital information signal from the storage means 5 into an enlargement or reduction signal; 5Iri is an instruction means for instructing whether to perform enlargement or reduction. Reference numeral 6 denotes a means (for example, a thermal head printer, etc.) for receiving the digitally converted information signal and recording it on a prescribed recording paper S.

In the above configuration, the user places the position detecting means 2 of the optical reading means 1 on the portion of the document P on which characters, figures, etc. are drawn and wants to transfer, and moves the optical reading means 1 accordingly. At this time, characters, figures, etc. drawn on the original P are read by the optical reading means 1, amplified by the amplifier 3, input to the analog-to-digital converting means 4, and converted into digital signals. This signal is temporarily stored in the storage means 5 as a signal W synchronized with the signal from the detection means 2 for detecting the position of the optical reading means 1. If you wish to enlarge or reduce the data, use the instruction means 8 to instruct it, and the enlargement/reduction conversion means 7 to convert the information signal (screen information), read out a signal synchronized with the recording speed of the recording means 6, and send a synchronizing signal. The recording means 6 transfers the characters, figures, etc. drawn on the document P onto a specified sheet S by the recording means 6.

2. Figure 2 (at, [bl, (clI/i) shows an example of characters recorded by the electronic transfer system of the present invention. This information signal is converted by the enlarging/reducing means, and an example in which it is reduced to 3/4 is shown in FIG. 2 tbl, and an example in which it is enlarged to 4 times is shown in FIG. 2 (cl).

1. The electronic transfer system of the present invention has a configuration that has an enlargement/reduction function on a line-by-line basis as necessary, and a variety of functions such as enlarging only the part to be emphasized and reducing relatively unimportant parts and detailed parts. It is possible to create a configuration with rich editing functions.

<Effects of the Invention> As described above, the electronic transfer system of the present invention is capable of enlarging and reducing transfer, so it can handle manuscripts of various formats and sheets of paper (S) of various sizes, Compared to the previously proposed electronic transfer system, this system has a greater practical effect in that it can be applied to a wider range of applications, such as producing useful effects in manuscript editing, etc.
