Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the operability of an electronic notes by displaying the information stored in an information memory part on plural sheets of plane display parts which are joined together like a notebook. CONSTITUTION:The electronic notes contain plane display parts P1-Pn, where the parts P1 and P2, P3 and P4... are joined together back to back respectively. These n/2 sheets of display parts are bound in the form of a notebook including a cover 11, a back cover 12 and a backbone cover 13. These covers 11-13 include plural video memory parts, information memory parts and display control parts of component elements provided for each page. Furthermore a connector 14 is added for connection to another device. When a prescribed document, etc. are stored in the video and information memory parts, the display information are displayed at a display part P of each display control part.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to the storage and display of data processed by an information processing device such as a word processor or a burner computer, and particularly relates to storage and display of data of multiple pages or multiple parts. related to display technology.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, in this type of information storage and information display device, the information storage section and the display section are configured separately and in order to display the stored information on the display device, it is necessary to Word processors are designed to extract the portion of information that should be displayed from the information stored by the processing section of a personal computer and display it on a display device. Furthermore, when multiple portions of stored information are desired, the display contents are switched in the 11th order, or a so-called multi-window technique is used to perform screen division processing.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the conventional information storage and information display technologies described above, the information storage device and the information display device are connected to each other through a processing device such as a word processor or a personal computer. In order to view the information stored in the information storage section, it was necessary to display the information on a display device using these information processing devices. In addition, in order to display multiple parts of stored information, the displayed content must be switched sequentially, and even if multi-window technology is used, mouse or keyboard operations can be used to selectively display the parts that you want to display. was necessary.

These operations have the disadvantage that they are unnatural and cumbersome compared to the operation of manually turning pages, which is necessary to view information recorded in a book or notebook.

An object of the present invention is to provide a plurality of flat display sections connected to each other in a notebook shape, and to make the video storage section and information storage section non-volatile by battery backup or other methods corresponding to each flat display section. An object of the present invention is to provide an electronic notebook configured to eliminate the above drawbacks and improve operability by displaying the contents of a video storage section on a corresponding flat display section.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The electronic notebook according to the present invention includes a plurality of flat display sections, a plurality of image storage sections, an information storage section, and a plurality of display control sections. It is something.

The plurality of flat display sections are connected to each other in a notebook shape and are for displaying video information.

The plurality of image storage sections correspond to each of the plurality of flat display sections, are made non-volatile, and are used to store image information.

The information storage section is non-volatile and is used to store character codes and editing information regarding the contents of the plurality of video storage sections.

The plurality of second display control sections are for displaying the contents of the mantissa image storage section on the corresponding plurality of flat display sections.

(Example〕 Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an external view showing an embodiment of an electronic notebook according to the present invention. In Figure 1, %Pl.

Each of n indicates a flat display section, and in this example, P
+ and P2 are pasted back to back to form one sheet. Similarly, P3 and P4.・・・・・・
Pn-1 and Pn are bonded back to back. FIG. 1 shows these 04 sheets bound into a notebook and surrounded by a front cover 11°, a back cover 12, and a spine 13.

Inside the covers 11 to 13, a plurality of video storage units, a plurality of information storage units, and a plurality of display control units, which are the constituent elements of the present invention, are provided corresponding to each page, and furthermore, there is a connection between the above-mentioned constituent elements. The wiring for this purpose is also formed in each cover 11-13 using a flexible printed circuit board. spine 1
A connector 14 for connecting this device to another device is mounted at the lower end of the device f'L,'C.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the electronic notebook shown in FIG. 1.

Here, n OWL&'i4 in the first rIA is assumed, but n can be any integer value.

In FIG. 2, numerals 21 to 24 are planar display sections, respectively, and video storage sections 31 to 34 are provided corresponding to these display sections 21 to 24. In addition, the video storage unit 31~
34 contents 1! t, 1 corresponding flat display sections 21 to 24
Display control units 41 to 44 are connected between the flat display units 21 to 24 and the image recording units 31 to 34 for displaying images. Moreover, 5 is an information storage unit, and information such as character codes and 8 item collection information are stored.

The display information created based on this information is stored in the video storage units 31 to 34, and is finally created in the flat display units 21 to 2.
4 will be displayed.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained using a word processor as an example.

In order to create a document using a word processor, store it in the device, and display it, it is necessary to connect the non-device to the processing device of the word processor via the connector 14. Text data input from the keyboard of the word processor is sequentially stored in the video storage unit 31 as character codes and bias information by the processing device, and at the same time is converted into a display format such as a dot pattern and stored in the video storage unit 31. be done. The video storage units 31 to 34 each have a capacity that can accommodate one page of a document, and when the video storage W531 becomes full or a page break is specified, the storage is moved to the video storage unit 32. . In this way, a four-page document is stored in the information storage section 5 and the video storage sections 31-34. The display information stored in the video storage units 31 to 34 is displayed on the display units 21 to 24 by the display control units 41 to 44, respectively.

Once a document is created and stored in the information storage section 5 and the video storage sections 31 to 34, the information is preserved as is even if the device is separated from the word processor main body, and the display control sections 41 to 34 retain the information. If there is a power source such as a battery or a solar battery necessary to drive 44, it will be displayed on the flat display sections 21 to 24.

If you want to modify the information stored in this device or add new information, you can connect the word processor main body again and process it.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, the present invention displays necessary parts of the recorded information by displaying the information stored in the information storage unit on a plurality of flat display units attached in a notebook shape. It has the advantage that it can be easily operated by humans in the same way as flipping through a book or notebook, and there is no need to connect a word processor or personal computer to a keyboard for operation.
