Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain the drawing of line segments not misleading by drawing a specific imaginary line segment in a pattern formed by imaginary line segments extended radially from the origin and imaginary line segments typing respective end points as a solid line segment and expressing a concept depending on the position of relation. CONSTITUTION:An alphabet, a KANA (Japanese syllabary), a KANJI (Chinese character), a noun, a verb, a command, a concept of significance, sentiment and will or the like are made potentially correspondent to each imaginary line segment or a composite of imaginary line segments in a pattern comprising plural imaginary line segments extended radially from the origin 0. Then a solid line segment is drawn along an imaginary line segment and the imaginary line segment along which the solid line segment is drawn is printed by an ink insensible by a reader. Thus, a simple and non-misleading line segment can be drawn.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to the field of handwritten symbols read by computers.

[Conventional technology]

It is common to read handwritten numbers and letters by pattern recognition, but the reading device is expensive, and if the entire surface of the recording paper is read at the same time, it is not easy to adapt the reading device to changes in the recording format. However, if the writer does not write accurately, there is a risk of misinterpretation, small letters are difficult to read, and other issues that need to be resolved.

[Problem to be solved]

Instead of confusing handwritten numbers and letters, which vary due to individual differences, we are trying to express them with reproducible and easy-to-draw line segments.

[Means to solve the problem]

As shown in the claims, in a pattern composed of a plurality of virtual line segments, each virtual line segment or a composite virtual line segment contains numbers, alpha bends, kana, kanji, characters, etc. in a latent state.
Match nouns, verbs, commands, semantic concepts, emotional concepts, will concepts, etc. The above concept is realized by writing these virtual line segments as solid line segments.

[Operation] (Example) Figure 1 shows a pattern based on three ray segments.The terminals of the line segments are identified as poles, and the poles are moved clockwise from above to the first pole (1
), second pole (2), and third pole (3). (onwards,
This is called a three-pole pattern. ) In this three-pole pattern, an example of the correspondence between each virtual line segment and a concept is shown. The line segment connecting the origin (0) and the first pole (11) shown in Figure 1 is the numerical concept "
1". The line segment connecting the origin (0) and the second pole (21) is the numerical concept "2", the line segment connecting the origin (0) and the third pole (3) is the numerical concept "4", and the first cue (1 ) and the second pole (
The line segment connecting 2) is the numerical concept "8", the line segment connecting the second pole (2) and the third pole (3) is the numerical concept r16J, the third pole (3) and the first pole (1) The line segment that connects the number concept "32"
corresponds to These 6 types of temporary t! A line segment is written as a specific single or plural solid line segments, and the numerical concept expressed by the combined positional relationship indicates the sum of the numerical concepts of the combined solid line segments. The solid line connecting the origin (0) and the first pole (1) shown in FIG. 2 indicates the number "1". Similarly, the result of combining the solid line connecting the origin (0) and the first pole (1) and the solid line connecting the second pole (2) and the third pole (3) shown in FIG. 3 is the number r 1 +16=17j is shown. That is, in the three-pole pattern, the numerical concepts 0 to 63 can be expressed by the relation of the solid line writing position to the six types of virtual line segments. The combination of all of them is 64
That's right.

FIG. 4 shows a quadrupole pattern based on four rays. (
Hereinafter, this will be referred to as a 4-pole pattern. ) Similar to the 3-bottle pattern,
The poles are the first pole (11), the second pole (2), the third pole (3), and the fourth pole.
Distinguish from pole (4). In this four-pole pattern, an example of the correspondence between each line segment and concept is shown. The origin (0) and the first pole (
The numerical concept corresponding to the line segment connecting 1) is "1", and the origin (
0) and the second pole (2) is "2", similarly,
Origin (0) and pole (3) are "4", origin (0) and pole (4)
) is "8", pole (1) and pole (2) are r16J, pole (
2) and pole (3) correspond to "32", pole (3) and pole (4) correspond to r64J, pole (4) and pole fil correspond to r 128, J, (hereinafter referred to as a 4-pole pattern). (referred to as a binary number formula) A four-pole pattern written by a specific single or multiple solid line segments on eight types of virtual line segments.The number concept expressed by the binary number formula is the number concept of each solid line in combination. This shows the total sum of . The second pole (2) and the third pole (3) shown in Figure 5
The solid line connecting them indicates the number "32". Similarly, the solid line connecting the origin (0) and the first pole (11) and the second pole (2
) and the solid line connecting the third pole (3) is the number of combinations r
It can be shown that "l+32=33". That is, in the four-pole pattern binary system, numerical concepts from 0 to 255 can be expressed by the relationship between the solid line writing positions of eight types of virtual line segments. There are 256 combinations of all of them.

On the other hand, the correspondence of numerical concepts to eight types of line segments is calculated from the origin (
0) and the first pole (11), number "1" for the line segment connecting the origin (0) and the pole (2), number "2" for the origin (0) and the pole (2),
3) is "3", origin (0) and pole (4) are "4", pole (1) and pole (2) are "IO", pole (2) and pole (3) are "20'', pole (3) and pole (4) are ``30'', pole (4)
) and the pole (11) correspond to the number "40" (hereinafter referred to as the four-pole pattern).The solid line pattern shown in Figure 5 corresponds to the number "20", and the pattern shown in Figure 6 number rl+20=
21" can be shown. It is expressed as the sum of numerical concepts of solid line segments that are similarly combined. However, 4 connecting the origin (0) and the poles (11, (2), (3), (4))
The ``10'' shown by the sum of the line segments of the book should be read as ``0''. A pattern without solid line segments indicates "space", 10
101.102,...109.110 exceeding 0,
are special symbols (minus, plus, equal, inequality,
period, comma, right parenthesis, left parenthesis, various unit symbols, etc.). In other words, the 4-pole pattern can represent numbers from O to 100 and 11 types of special symbols.

In this way, the four-pole pattern one-binary formula and the ten-number formula can represent different concepts even if they are the same pattern, as shown in FIG.

FIG. 7 shows a pattern based on five ray segments and is referred to as a 5-pole pattern. The 5-pole pattern is composed of 10 types of virtual line segments, and 1024 types of concepts can be expressed from the combinations thereof. FIGS. 8 and 9 show examples of five-pole patterns.

FIG. 10 shows a pattern based on six rays, which is called a hexapole pattern. The hexapolar pattern is composed of 12 types of virtual line segments, and 4096 types of concepts can be expressed from the combinations thereof.

In the 6-pole pattern, the line segment between pole (1) and pole (2) is “
The line segment between pole (2) and pole (3) defines the concept of "lowercase English letter," and the line segment between the origin (0) and pole (11) defines the concept of "uppercase letter".
If the line segment between the origin (0) and the pole (2) is defined as "B", then the solid line between the origin (0) and the pole (1), the solid line between the origin (0) and the pole (1), and the pole (1) and the pole shown in Fig. The concept of solid line combination with (2) indicates rAJ, and the origin (0) and pole (2) shown in Figure 12
The concept of combining the solid line with pole (11 and pole (2)) indicates "B".Similarly, instead of the solid line with pole (11 and pole (2)), the solid line with pole (2) and pole (3) ) and the solid line in FIG. 13 shows "a", and the concept in FIG. 14 shows rbJ.

In this way, concepts that can be expressed through correspondence with concepts other than numerical concepts include alphabento, hiragana, katakana, uppercase and lowercase letters, kanji, nouns, verbs, commands, semantic concepts,
It can be expanded to include emotional concepts, will concepts, etc.

〔Effect of the invention〕

The radial barcode (hereinafter referred to as a crosscode) of the present invention is effectively utilized in the following points.

Since the solid line segment is drawn along the virtual line segment, it is possible to draw a simple and unmistakable line segment.

There are many concepts expressed in one cross code (6
(4096 types of polar patterns) can be expressed compactly around the origin, making it possible to write a large amount of information on a small amount of paper.

Easy line reading ensures high reading rate. Also, it can be read with a cheap mark reader other than a complicated pattern recognition reader.

By collecting the readers for each line segment into a unit for one pattern and making it easily removable, it is possible to immediately respond to changes in the cross code reading position due to changes in the recording format.

If the pattern is small, the light can be received by an optical fiber and guided to a reader.

The imaginary line segment, which is a guide for writing a solid line, is printed with ink that the reading device cannot detect.

In particular, the four-pole pattern one-binary formula can be expressed in one byte in one pattern, and can directly correspond to a one-byte computer instruction. As a result, NC control, etc., can input control details using a cross code without using punched cards or punched tape as media.

The 4-pole patterner formula is an addition system from 1 to 4, so it is easy to associate patterns with numerical concepts. If the type, quantity, time, etc. in production management and sales management can be recorded manually by workers using cross codes, the time and effort required for inputting computer processing can be greatly reduced.

Since it can support concepts other than numerical concepts, it can be used as a universal language expression form by combining concepts of meaning, emotion, and will. Furthermore, portable and compact input/output devices enable simultaneous translation.
