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 sheet or roll of paper.

<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; an amplifying means for amplifying the information signal read by the optical reading means; and an analog converting means for converting the amplified signal into a digital signal.・Digital conversion means, storage means for storing, for example, one line of a manuscript, the information signal converted by the analog-to-digital conversion means, and recording on a predetermined paper based on the information signal stored by the storage means. This is an electronic transfer system equipped with a recording means for recording.

FIG. 4 shows a block diagram of an embodiment of this electronic transfer system.

In the figure, P is a document on which characters, figures, etc. are drawn, 1 is an optical reading means for reading the letters, figures, etc. drawn on the document P, and 2 is a means for moving the optical reading means 1 over the document P. Detection means for detecting the position; 3 is an amplifier for amplifying the screen information signal; 4 is analog-to-digital conversion means for converting the analog output of the amplifier 3 into a digital signal; 5 is for the analog-to-digital conversion. It is a storage means for the digital information signal (screen signal) from the means 4. 6 is the storage means 5
It is a means (for example, a thermal head printer, etc.) that receives the digitally converted information signal temporarily stored in and records it on a specified recording paper S.

As shown in Fig. 5, this electronic transfer system transfers characters and figures on a document onto another sheet of paper by manually or power-driven optical reading means 1 tracing a necessary part of the document.・This is for recording.

FIG. 6 shows the shape of a conventional optical reading means 1. As shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 5, the user of the pickpocket brings the optical reading means 1 into close contact with the document P and traces the part to be transferred.

Therefore, the user cannot directly see the characters and figures that are being transferred on the document P, which makes it difficult to see which position of the document P covered by the optical reading means 1 is being read. was there.

<Object of the Invention> Therefore, the present invention solves the conventional drawbacks by improving the shape and structure of the optical reading means so that the user can directly view the part of the document that is actually being read. The purpose is to provide an electronic transfer system with

<Embodiment of the Invention> An embodiment of the electronic transfer system of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, but the same parts as the above-mentioned conventional example are indicated by the same lines, and the explanation thereof will be omitted.

In the electronic transfer system of the present invention, the optical reading means 1 is provided with guide pieces a and b as shown in FIG. Characters and figures on the document P directly below the means 1 can be viewed directly. In other words, as shown in Figure 2,
The user can directly view the characters and figures on the document P directly below the optical reading means 1 from the directions α and β. In this case, the provision of guide pieces a and b causes the optical reading means 1 to float above the document P, causing a problem that it is affected by external light. Therefore, this problem is solved by using an infrared method as a sensor for image reading so that it is not affected by external light. Tsumashi, 3rd
As shown in the figure, infrared light from an infrared light emitting diode 9 is focused by condensing lenses 7 and 7' and irradiated onto a document P.

This reflected light is detected by light-receiving elements (for example, infrared photodiodes, etc.) 8 and 8', and depending on the amount, it is detected whether the portion of the document P irradiated by the infrared light emitting diode 9 is "white" or "black". are doing.

<Effects of the Invention> As described above, according to the electronic transfer system of the present invention, the top of the document P directly below the optical reading means 1 can be directly viewed during transfer, so that "distortion" and "protrusion" of characters during transfer can be avoided. is reduced, resulting in a great practical effect.
