Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a coordinate input device such as a digitizer, and in particular, to a coordinate input device such as a digitizer, and particularly to a drawing for calculating length, area, volume, etc. by placing construction drawings on a panel. The present invention relates to a coordinate input device used in a metric calculation processing device.

[Conventional technology]

In construction work, estimating, and other jobs, there are many tasks that involve determining length, area, and volume from drawings.

This type of work is performed not only at construction sites but also in many other industries, such as surveying companies and mapping companies. Triangular scales and planimeters are often used for these tasks, but in order to save labor, large machine software and computer software using digitizers have been developed in some cases, allowing numerical information to be entered from a keyboard and subsequent processing. Mechanized (computerized) calculations are also emerging. However, since this device combines a personal computer with a digitizer, it has drawbacks such as: it is not configured as a tactile and easy-to-use device, it is large and not easy to carry, and it is expensive. have. Therefore, the applicant of the present invention separately proposed a metric calculation processing device as shown in the drawings, which is configured by integrally combining key input means, calculation processing means, and output means with coordinate input means. With the proposal of this device, the above-mentioned work efficiency has been further improved significantly.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, in the above-mentioned devices, the contents of the key input means are uniquely determined, making it difficult to change the program and simplifying the program itself.As a result, there is a lack of diversity in arithmetic processing, and the device is difficult to modify. There are still problems in terms of utilization efficiency and metric calculation accuracy.

The present invention is based on the above considerations, and aims to provide a coordinate input device equipped with a key information input menu sheet that allows input of key information and simplification of programs.

Means for Solving Problem C] To this end, the coordinate input device equipped with the key information input menu sheet of the present invention defines key information in a specific area on the panel of the coordinate input device, and inputs the coordinates by the arithmetic processing means. It is configured to identify whether a value is a specific area, and if it is a specific area, perform processing corresponding to the definition of the specific area as key information input, and calculate the length, area, etc. from the drawing placed on the panel. This is a coordinate input device used in a metric calculation processing device for drawings that calculates volumes, etc., and is characterized by a key information input menu sheet that is replaceably attached to a specific area on a panel.

[Effect]

In the coordinate input device equipped with the key information input menu sheet of the present invention, by inputting coordinate values from the menu sheet of a specific area, the arithmetic processing unit generates key information corresponding to the content shown on the menu sheet. Recognized and processed. Therefore, by inputting key information instructing a desired calculation and then inputting coordinate values of an area other than the specific area, a predetermined calculation process will be performed according to the calculation instruction.

〔Example〕

Examples will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention in which a coordinate input device equipped with a key information input menu sheet is used as a metrological calculation processing device for construction drawings, and FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention using a coordinate input device equipped with a key information input menu sheet. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a system configuration of a metrology calculation processing device for construction drawings using a coordinate input device provided with the
The figure shows an example of a menu sheet attached to the coordinate input device according to the present invention. In the figure, 1 and 11 are coordinate input parts, 2 is a stylus pen, 3 and 7 are panels, and 4 is a menu sheet. , 5 is a printer, 6 is a display, 1
2 is a control section, 13 is a length measurement section, 14 is an area measurement section, 1
Reference numeral 5 indicates an arithmetic operation section, and reference numeral 16 indicates a display section.

In FIG. 1, a coordinate input section 1 includes a stylus pen 2
, a panel 3, and a menu sheet 4 attached to the panel 3, and the panel 7 is a so-called digitizer that inputs coordinate values on the panel 3 by hitting the panel 3 with the stylus pen 2. , an arithmetic processing section for processing commands and data input from the coordinate input section 1 is attached therein, and a display 6 for outputting contents input from the coordinate input section 1 and arithmetic processing results.
and a printer 5 are attached. A specific example of the menu sheet 4 will be described later with reference to FIG. 3, but for example,
Numeric keypad from “0” to “9”, “×”, “+”, rA
CJ, calculation designation keys such as "Area" and "Length", and "
Some have scale designation keys such as "Scale-1" and "Scale-2," and by clicking on this menu sheet 4 using the stylus pen 2, the key information is read into the arithmetic processing section. Therefore, the arithmetic processing unit has a function of not only identifying whether the coordinate values input from the coordinate input unit 1 are key information of the menu sheet 4 or mere coordinate value data, but also identifying and processing the key information. . Therefore, a program for coordinate recognition in the arithmetic processing section and a program for identifying and processing key information are created according to the contents of the menu sheet 4. FIG. 2 shows an example of the configuration of such a system using functional blocks.

In FIG. 2, the coordinate input unit 11 is a digitizer or tablet left that inputs coordinate values on a panel using a stylus pen or cursor, as described above. The length measuring section 13, area measuring section 14, and arithmetic operation section 15 of the arithmetic processing section perform measurement calculations corresponding to the designations of "length", "area", and four arithmetic operations, respectively. The control unit 12 is
Built-in memory reads and analyzes coordinate values from the input section,
In addition to performing processes such as defining scale, converting coordinate values, and writing/reading data to/from memory, the length measurement unit 1
3. The area measuring section 14 and the arithmetic operation section 15 are operated to perform predetermined processing, and the results are output to the display section 16. For this purpose, the control unit 12 has a coordinate area determination function, and determines whether or not the read coordinate values are in a specific area, that is, the key information input area to which the menu sheet is attached. In some cases, key information input processing corresponding to coordinate values is performed according to a preset definition.

As shown in Figure 3, a specific example of the menu sheet is a numeric keypad from "0" to "9", "x", "÷",
rAcJ, calculation designation keys such as "area" and "length j", and scale designation keys such as "scale-1" and "scale-2" are defined as key information. An outline of the calculation processing using the main key information will be explained below.

The scale specification key "Scale -1" is used when the scale is known in advance, such as by entering 1000 on the numeric keypad to define a scale of 1/1000, and the scale is defined using the numeric keypad. "Scale-2" is the length of the drawing, for example 10, when the drawing is shrunk or the scale is unknown.
Used when defining a scale using the coordinate values entered from the coordinate input section and the numerical value entered from the numeric keypad, such as entering the coordinates between two points (length 00) and entering the length as 1000 using the numeric keypad. It is something. Furthermore, depending on the drawing, the vertical and horizontal scales may not be the same. In that case, "Scale-3" is added so that the "Scale-2j method is defined separately for the vertical and horizontal directions." Good too.

In the system shown in FIG. 2, these processes are performed by the control section 12.

With the calculation specification key "Length", when coordinate values are input along the point whose length is to be determined, the control unit 12 calculates the coordinate values converted according to the scale definition, and the length measurement unit 13 calculates the coordinate values. The distance between values is calculated.

In addition, for "area", coordinate values are input along the area for which the area is to be determined, and the height to be multiplied by this area is input using the numeric keypad. Then, the control unit 12 calculates the coordinate values converted according to the definition of the scale, and the area measurement unit 14
After calculating the area surrounded by the coordinate values, multiplying by the height calculates the volume. In addition, for example, when determining the area of a wall in a room, coordinate values are input along the wall in the plan view, and the wall height is input using the numeric keypad. Then, the control unit 12 calculates the coordinate values converted according to the definition of the scale, and the area measurement unit 14 calculates the distance between the coordinate values (the total length of the wall), and then multiplies this by the wall height input from the numeric keypad. area is calculated.

Furthermore, by using other calculation designation keys, these results can be stored in the memory of the control unit 12 and four arithmetic operations (rM+J, "M-", [RMJ) can be performed with the next calculation result. For example, when calculating the area of several areas and finding the total,
The purpose is to perform processing used in a calculator, such as storing and adding the area calculated each time using the "M+" key. In addition, in architectural drawings, etc., when calculating parts with the same length and area, such as entrances and columns, a "number" key is provided, and by specifying this calculation, the number of coordinates input is counted and the numeric keypad is used. It may be configured to perform an operation of multiplying by a standard value (length or area) given by .

As shown in Figure 3, the menu sheet consists of a sheet with glue applied to the back side 4-1, and the back side 4-1 is peeled off and the
It may also be pasted on a specific area on the panel 3 of the coordinate input section 1 shown in the figure. In this way, the menu sheet can be easily replaced, so the menu sheet can be attached to the minimum necessary amount according to the purpose of use. It can be configured with key information, and the program itself can be simplified. Furthermore, since menu sheets and programs can be freely combined, it is possible to provide a device with a wide variety of arithmetic processing.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As is clear from the above description, the present invention has fewer keys than a personal computer and can be operated in the same way as a calculator. You can use it to measure and calculate length, area, and volume. In addition, by defining keys on the panel of the coordinate input means, the stylus
All measurement and calculation tasks can be performed simply by operating the pen or cursor. Furthermore, the program can be simplified,
Since it is possible to provide a device with a variety of arithmetic processing, it can be used for an even wider range of business applications.
