Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to a navigation recorder.

In accordance with the provisions of the law, ships must keep detailed records of all events during navigation, such as the pilot's embarkation and disembarkation, the tugboard's approach and departure, the ship's berthing and unberthing, and the dropping of anchor, as well as the time of occurrence. It is mandatory to do so. This is extremely troublesome and time-consuming work. In the past, automatic recording devices such as telegraph signals and date and time were available, but in order to record various other facts that occurred during the voyage, along with the time, records were recorded by hand in the form of a logbook. .
Therefore, not only was there a need for manpower, but there were also problems such as forgetting records and writing errors.

When this work is performed by a microcomputer, it is impossible to record various miscellaneous articles, especially unpredictable items.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems by combining the marine clock and the logbook to automatically record things that occur over time, such as navigation, ship operation status, and related data. The object of the present invention is to provide a device for recording on a print tape together with the time inputted into the computer.

Therefore, the means for solving the above problems are as follows.

A central processing unit connected to a telegraph and onboard clock, a storage device, and a first key comprising a plurality of keys displaying key article terms to be entered in the logbook.
a keyboard input device, a second keyboard input device having a plurality of keys displaying words, numbers, symbols, etc. so as to be able to record any article, and assisting both said keyboard input devices when an article is input. The present invention includes an article input device having a display for displaying article contents, and a printer for recording various data such as nautical vessel maneuvering conditions that change over time on a print tape along with the time by inputting a time signal.

Next, the function of the present invention is as follows.

The main article terms of the first keyboard input device are stored in the storage device, and predictable main articles are input from the first keyboard input device, and supplementary articles and unexpected articles are input from the second keyboard input device while being confirmed on the display. The speed of the main engine was input from a telegraph and recorded on a printed tape along with the time.

The present invention will be explained below based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the basic configuration of the present invention. In this figure, a microcomputer 1, which is a central processing unit, receives various input information, makes judgments and calculations, and issues instructions to peripheral devices. The printer 2 prints and records various data on a print tape according to instructions from the microcomputer 1. A storage device (memory) 3 stores various data processing information.

The first keyboard input device 4 has a plurality of keys displaying main article terms such as customary terms to be entered in the logbook, and is configured as follows. As shown in the second and third figures, the front panel of the computer 1 is provided with a large number of function keys 41, 42, . . . for executing various commands. An example of the names displayed on these keys and their contents are as follows, but other names have been determined according to various contents.

VOY; - Voyage No. - Number DATE; - Day, etc. The second keyboard input device 5 (Fig. 1) is designed to be able to print out any text including words and phrases, and is configured as follows. . That is, as shown in the second and fourth figures, a lexical key 51, a numeric key 52, a symbol key 53 similar to a typewriter, a space bar 54, etc. are provided.

Further, a display 6 as shown in the first and second figures is provided as a display output device, and the contents, time, etc. of the first and second input devices 4 and 5 and the speed communication device (telegraph) 8 are displayed. The adjustment board 7 is used to initialize the time and adjust the brightness of the display board. The printer 2 records various data sent from the telegraph first and second keyboard input devices 4 and 5.

Regarding the time, a clock signal such as a DC 24V inversion signal every 30 seconds is supplied from the onboard master clock 9,
It digitally displays it on the display 6 and at the same time sends the signal to the recording mechanism.

Next, the operating state will be explained based on the print sample shown in FIG. 5, the flowchart in the table, and the front panel. The time signal from the onboard master clock passes through a time integration circuit within the recorder and is constantly input and displayed on the display 6 as an actual time signal. First, when the telegraph is operated by command, FULL AWAY-
The AHEAD print command signal will be input to this recorder. This signal is input to START, and it is determined whether this is a telegraph operation through a telegraph operation determination circuit, and then it is determined whether a telegraph has been issued or responded to.

Next, after confirming that it is a telegraph operation again, the contents of the telegraph are displayed on the display 6 (at this time, if the contents of the first and second keyboards 4 and 5 are included, this 1,
the second content display is erased). This content is then automatically recorded on recording paper by the printer 2 (as shown by print sample 101 in FIG. 5). The printed recording paper is advanced by one line and waits for the next print command.

For example, this printing is 12:30.5A FULL AWY AH
etc., where 12:30.5 indicates the time, A indicates the operating location of the ship's main engine, and FULL AWY AH indicates the telegraph operating fraction. In this way, the telegraph command is printed, but in the case of a response, the operation fraction is enclosed in parentheses as shown in sample FIG. 5, 102.

Next, the print sample shown in FIG. 5 103 will be explained. Of the first and second keyboards 4 and 5,
For example, if you press the POB key, the flowchart
This signal enters START, it is determined that it is not a telegraph signal, and the first keyboard 4
It is determined that Then, it is determined that there is no telegraph test, printer test, time cancel, or paper feed, and it is again determined that there is no telegraph operation. As a result
The content “POB” will appear on the display together with the time.
POB” will be displayed. At this time, if there is a telegraph operation, the contents of the first and second keyboards 4 and 5 are canceled and the telegraph takes priority.

Next, select the necessary keys on the second keyboard 5, such as 〓, C, A, P, T, , O, ・M, I, Y,
When you press the O, S, H, and I keys in sequence, the display 6 will show "Time/POB CAPTO."
"MIYOSHI" is displayed. In this display state, the first
When the "PRINT" key on the keyboard 4 is pressed, the current display contents are printed by pressing the PRINT operation "YES". After feeding the paper, the printer waits for the next print command.

Note that the first keyboard 4 shown in the third diagram
TELEGRAPH TEST, PRINTER TEST,
When the TIME CANCEL or MANUAL SHIFT keys are pressed, as shown in the flowchart, the time is displayed on the display 6 for the first two users, the time display on the display 6 is erased for the third user, and the printed paper is displayed for the fourth user. It will send one line and return to START.

According to the device of the present invention, by storing the main article term in advance in the memory mechanism of the microcomputer, it can be called up with the first keyboard input device, and recording is possible very easily. Those without main article terms can be entered using the second keyboard input device. In addition, since these article records are combined with a clock mechanism, not only is there no need to check the time or write by hand, but all of these articles are displayed on the display, making it possible to check the article content. can. Furthermore, by inputting various telegraph data (data such as speed or direction change for the main engine) into this device, these data can be automatically recorded.

As this device has many features,
Compared to conventional handwritten logbooks, it eliminates differences in expression, clutter, and erroneous entries due to individual differences between fillers, and can greatly contribute to labor savings. In particular, since any article can be entered using the second keyboard input device, unexpected facts can also be recorded, and main article terms can be retrieved from the storage device and recorded using the first keyboard input device, so many keys can be used. Recording can be done with one key operation without any manual operation. Moreover, since you can record while checking it on the display, there is no need to make mistakes in key operations. In this way, the conventional logbook is no longer necessary, and the records that were previously recorded by multiple people at multiple locations on multiple pieces of paper can now be summarized on a single sheet of recording paper, which is extremely effective. It became. Furthermore, by inputting signals from a telegraph, main engine tachometer, etc. to this device, and automatically recording these data, it can be used in a wider range of fields.
