Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a multifunctional personal word processor having a function of inputting handwritten images, and particularly to a multifunctional personal word processor suitable for creating documents such as postcards.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, this type of device has only a keyboard as an input means, so it is not possible to input images such as handwritten characters and figures. It is only possible to output symbols and fixed forms in a specified arrangement.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

With the above conventional technology, only one handwritten character or figure can be processed.

It was not possible for the user to edit freely, and it was impossible to print in a unique way by placing the desired characters and figures in the desired font and position.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and provide a multifunctional personal word processor that can print uniquely on postcards and the like.

[Means for solving problems]

The above object includes at least a main body case that includes a keyboard, a display device that displays the input contents using the keyboard, and a printer that can print the contents displayed on the display device, and a display screen of the display device. By providing an image scanner capable of scanning and inputting various images, and by configuring the printer to print the input contents from the image scanner,
It can be achieved.

[Embodiments of the invention]

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 to 7.

In the drawing, the main body case l of the multifunctional personal word processor has, from the front right side, a keyboard 2 for inputting letters and symbols, a keyboard 3 for inputting numbers and characters, a power switch 4. They are arranged in the order of speaker hole 5. On the front left side of the main body case 1, a display device 6 and a printer 9 are arranged in this order from the front.

The display screen 7 of the display device 6 is positioned lower than the keyboards 2 and 3. An image reading device that reads various information on the display screen 7 of the display device 6 includes an image scanner 8 .

The image scanner 8 moves on a display screen 7 of a display device. In this embodiment, the size of the display screen 7 is set to the size of a postcard. A scale 12 is provided on the upper surface of the support fitting 10 that supports the display screen.

The image scanner 8 is moved by a belt 15 to which it is fixed. That is, when the motor 16 is driven and the belt 15 rotates, the image scanner 8, which had stopped at the position indicated by the solid line in FIG. . When the scanning is completed, the motor 16 is reversely rotated to return the image scanner 8 to the position indicated by the third solid line. belt 1
51 is a total of 4 provided at both ends of the shaft 17 and both ends of the shaft 18.
It is rotated by two pulleys 19. By transmitting the rotational force of the motor 16 to the shaft 17 through gears, the pulley 19 rotates. 6 A large number of protrusions are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the pulley 19, and a number of holes into which the protrusions fit are provided in the main body case 1. The guide grooves 20 are provided in portions located outwardly on both sides of the image scanner 8. The guide groove 20 has a function of guiding the image scanner 8 when scanning the display screen 7 of the display device.

The image scanner 8, as shown in FIG.
While moving in eight directions, the display screen 7 of one display device 6 is illuminated with light 22 from an LED 21, which is a light emitting element, and the reflected light 23 is sent to a selfoc lens 24 made of an optical fiber or the like.
The structure is such that the light is received by the CCD 25, which is a charge-coupled device, and information such as images and characters is input by replacing it with a bit signal. The distance L1 from one end surface of the Selfoc lens 24 to the original paper 20 is made to be approximately equal to the distance L2 from the other end surface of the Selfoc lens 24 to the CCD 25.

The control board 26 that controls the image scanner 8 includes a support fitting 27 that supports the SELFOC lens 24. CCD
25 and an LED 21 to which various control elements are attached. SELFOC lens 24. The CCD 25, the support metal fitting 27, and the control board 26 are covered with a shield 28.

A printing paper 35 such as a postcard is sent from the front of the main body case 1 through the back side of the display device 6 to the printer 9 side. Guide protrusion 3 provided on the base 11 of the main body case 1
1 and guide roller 29°30.38, the printing paper 35 is guided in the direction of arrow P2 in FIG.

The printer 9 includes a printer base 32, a guide shaft 34 provided on the base 32, a thermal head 33 provided on a carriage that moves on the guide shaft 34, a feed roller 36, and a control board 37 that controls the printer 9. It is equipped with

A main body control board 39 and a memory card 40 which is an external storage device are provided on the back side of the keyboard 2° 3 provided on the front right side of the main body case 1. The memory card 40 is connected to a connector 43 provided on the main body control board 39 through a notch 41 provided on the upper surface side of the main body case 1 and a guide member 42 provided on the base 11.

The main body control board 39 connects a microcomputer 44 that controls the entire multifunctional personal word processor, a ROM 45 for software programs, a RAM 46 for temporary storage, an expansion slot 47 for a memory card 40, a communication modem, etc. Serial l1048, LSI49a for controlling the buzzer 49, and LSI4 for controlling the display device 6
8a, an LSI 2a for controlling the keyboards 2 and 30, and an LSI 48a for controlling the serial number 17048. The LSI 9a for controlling the printer 9 is built into the control board 37. An LSI 8a for controlling the image scanner 8 is built into the control board 26.

The display device 6 is a flat panel display, that is,
A display device using liquid crystal, EL, plasma, etc. is used. It is also possible to write with a pen or paste a manuscript paper on the display screen of the display device 6, and input the information using an image scanner.

In the above configuration, fixed-form characters and fixed-form figures input using the keyboards 2 and 3 are displayed on the display screen of the display device 6. When a print command is issued using the keyboard 2.3, the printer 9 is activated and the contents are printed on printing paper 35 such as a postcard.

On the other hand, put a handwritten document or cut and pasted printed matter on the display screen of the display device 6, and scan the top surface with the image scanner 8.
If you scan with , the contents will be input. keyboard 2,
By displaying the content inputted in step 3 on the display screen of the display device 6, placing the cut and paste of the already printed material on the display screen and scanning it with an image scanner.

- The printer 9 easily prints out the combined contents of the input contents from the keyboards 2 and 3 and the cutting and pasting.

According to this embodiment, it is possible to quickly edit a manuscript in which printed characters and images, etc., are cut and pasted together by keyboard input.

In other words, in order to edit a manuscript like the one above using a conventional word processor, two steps are required: first create a manuscript containing only printed characters, then print it out on a printer, and only then consider the placement of cut-and-paste images. Ta. In this embodiment, it is not necessary to print only one character, and the time required for printing can be omitted.

Furthermore, if you print only one character and place the image by cutting and pasting, and if you do not like the position of the character, you will have to repeat editing and reprinting only the character until you like it. For example, it is possible to edit images while simultaneously considering the arrangement of images and the arrangement of characters, so that a harmonious arrangement can be quickly achieved.

In extreme cases, it is also possible to first paste the image to secure the insertion position, and then decide the arrangement of the text and characters accordingly.

〔Effect of the invention〕

, according to the present invention, there is one input device other than the keyboard.
Since it is equipped with an image scanner that can input information by scanning the display screen of the display device, it can be replaced with a multifunctional personal word processor that can print 119-+ uniquely on postcards and the like.
