Description

Adhesive memo paper for recording voice notes using an electronic pen {ADHESIVE MEMO PAPER FOR VOICE RECORDING USING ELECTRONIC PEN}

The present invention relates to a sticky note for recording voice notes using an electronic pen.

There are devices that recognize marks printed on print media and output data related to the marks.

A barcode reader is a representative such device. The barcode reader reads barcodes printed on a printing medium and then outputs data corresponding to the barcode to a display device, etc.

Recently, a number of electronic pens have been developed that recognize specific codes printed on print media such as books and output voices corresponding to these codes.

This electronic pen includes a code reader device, reads a specific code printed on a print medium such as a book, and then outputs a voice corresponding to the code through a speaker, etc.

Typically, print media such as books display only text, so only print information is provided to the reader. However, using this electronic pen can provide voice information in addition to print information, which has the effect of strengthening the reader's user experience. .

In particular, when the text included in the print media is a foreign language, audio information such as pronunciation may be more useful than print information. In this case, the electronic pen can provide foreign language pronunciation in addition to the foreign language text, which increases reader response. It is rather high.

Meanwhile, these electronic pens were mainly used to output audio corresponding to text contained in print media. Conventional electronic pens had low usability for other purposes, so despite the above-mentioned advantages, they had limitations that prevented them from being widely distributed commercially.

Against this background, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a technology for sticky notes for recording voice notes using an electronic pen.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, in one aspect, the present invention provides a sticky note paper in which an adhesive material is applied to one side and a pattern image is printed on the other side.

The pattern image printed on sticky note paper is captured by an electronic pen and converted into a specific code. And, this specific code is matched to the user's voice and stored.

The electronic pen can be operated in a storage mode and a playback mode. In the storage mode, the user's voice is saved as a recording file and the saved recording file is matched with a pattern image printed on sticky note paper. The electronic pen analyzes the pattern image and converts it into a specific code, effectively matching the specific code with the user's voice recording file.

The recording file stored in the electronic pen can be converted into voice and output by a voice reproduction device (for example, a speaker) when the electronic pen captures a pattern image of the sticky note.

For example, one user can record a voice on a sticky note, and another user can listen to the voice stored on the sticky note.

As another example, a user may record his or her voice on a sticky note at one point in time and listen to the voice recorded on the sticky note at another point in time.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to record voice notes using an electronic pen, which has the effect of simplifying note taking.

It will be understood that elements may be “connected,” “combined,” or “connected.”

FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of an electronic pen according to an embodiment, and FIG. 2 is an example diagram of the detailed configuration of the digital processor and memory of FIG. 1.

Referring to FIG. 1, the electronic pen 100 may include an image sensor 110, a digital processor 120, a memory 130, and a speaker 140.

Referring to FIG. 2, the digital processor 120 may include a code conversion unit 122, a control unit 124, and a bookmark storage unit 126, and the memory 130 includes a voice data DB 132 and a bookmark DB. (134) may be included.

The image sensor 110 captures images printed on print media.

Print media refers to various types of media on which images are printed. For example, print media may be paper media such as books, cards, newspapers, magazines, flyers, pamphlets, and posts. As another example, the print media may be school supplies such as a desk, pencil case, pencil, eraser, etc. In addition, any medium capable of printing an image may be a printing medium to which an embodiment can be applied.

The image sensor 110 can capture a pattern image printed on a print medium.

A pattern image is an image with a certain pattern and may be an image that displays specific information in the form of a specific pattern. Specifically, two pattern images shaped as different patterns may correspond to different information. For example, a first pattern image shaped as a first pattern may correspond to first information, and a second pattern image shaped as a second pattern may correspond to second information.

The pattern image can be formed as a dot pattern printed on a printing medium. Additionally, these dot patterns may be patterned into dots of a certain size or less with low visibility.

If the pattern image is formed as a dot pattern with low visibility, the user may not be able to recognize the pattern image. However, even in this case, the image sensor 110 can capture a pattern image and recognize a pattern included in the pattern image - for example, a dot pattern.

The code conversion unit 122 analyzes the pattern image captured by the image sensor 110 and confirms the code corresponding to the analyzed pattern image. In another aspect, the code conversion unit 122 converts a pattern image printed on a printing medium into a code. For example, when a first pattern image is printed on a print medium, the code conversion unit 122 can analyze the first pattern image to confirm the first code, and the second pattern image is printed on the print medium. In this case, the code conversion unit 122 can confirm the second code by analyzing the second pattern image. In another aspect, the code conversion unit 122 may convert the first pattern image printed on the print medium into a first code and the second pattern image printed on the print medium into a second code.

The code confirmed by the code conversion unit 122 is transmitted to the control unit 124, and the control unit 124 can perform a specific function according to this code.

Various classifications can be applied to codes. Of course, this classification can be arbitrarily changed and modifications are possible in applying the contents of the present invention.

Codes can be classified into character codes, special key codes, command codes, content codes, bookmark codes, etc.

Character code is a code for character input. Specifically, there may be a character code corresponding to the keyboard keyboard. For example, on a keyboard, there may be a character code corresponding to the alphabet 'c', and there may be a character code corresponding to the Korean consonant 'ㄱ'.

The electronic pen 100 according to one embodiment can form words using character codes.

Special key codes are codes that correspond to keys representing special functions on the keyboard. As an example of a special key code, there may be an Enter key code corresponding to the Enter key, and there may be an ESC keyboard corresponding to the ESC key. Additionally, there may be a backspace key code corresponding to the backspace key.

The electronic pen 100 according to one embodiment can edit words or perform other functions using these special key codes.

The command code is a code that causes the electronic pen 100 to perform a specific function. Examples of command codes may include a save command code, a recording command code, a play command code, a delete command code, etc. When the electronic pen 100 recognizes a command code, it performs a specific function corresponding to each command code. You can.

The content code is a code corresponding to the print medium in which the content is stored. Since digital files corresponding to content are not actually stored in print media, the content code is actually a code corresponding to the pattern image printed on the print media. Content corresponding to the content code is stored in the electronic pen 100, and when the electronic pen 100 recognizes the content code by scanning the printing medium, it outputs the content matching the content code.

The bookmark code is a code that corresponds to the print medium on which the content will be stored. Codes used for other purposes can also become bookmark codes if they can be used to store content. For example, a content code that has already been matched to content may also serve as a bookmark code for storing new content, depending on the embodiment. Of course, depending on the embodiment, the electronic pen 100 may include a function to separate the content code and the bookmark code to prevent the content code from being overwritten by new content.

The code conversion unit 122 recognizes these various categories of codes and then transmits the recognized codes to the control unit 124, which performs specific functions according to the characteristics of each transmitted code. Additionally, the control unit 124 can control various functions of the electronic pen 100 while generating control signals for various components included in the electronic pen 100.

The bookmark storage unit 126 can store content on a print medium. Since the content file is not directly stored in the printing medium, technically, the bookmark storage unit 126 can store the content by matching the bookmark code with the printing medium on which the bookmark code is printed. After this matching, the electronic pen 100 can scan the corresponding bookmark code and output content matched to the bookmark code. For convenience of explanation, the expression “printing medium with a code printed on it” is used. Here, “printing medium with a code printed on it” can be understood as a printing medium on which a pattern image corresponding to the code is printed.

Figure 3 is a diagram showing the interaction between a sticky note and an electronic pen according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 3, a voice is recorded on the sticky note 200, and when the electronic pen 100 approaches, the voice is output from the electronic pen 100.

The sticky note 200 is a type of printing medium on which a pattern image (for example, a dot pattern) is printed, and an adhesive material is applied to one side.

The adhesive material may be applied to the entire surface or to a portion of the surface.

The adhesive material is a material that allows the sticky note 200 to temporarily attach to a specific object. Since the adhesive material is a material that allows the sticky note 200 to be temporarily attached, the sticky note 200 can be separated from a specific object with a small force.

The other side of the sticky note 200 is made of a material capable of writing. For example, the other side of the sticky note 200 is made of paper. The user can write letters or figures on the other side of the sticky note 200 using a general ink pen.

A pattern image is printed on the other side of the sticky note 200.

A single pattern image may be printed on the entire surface of the sticky note 200, or the other side of the sticky note 200 may be divided into blocks and different pattern images may be printed on each block.

The electronic pen 100 can recognize a specific code corresponding to the pattern image printed on the sticky note 200, and can match this specific code with a recording file.

Accordingly, when the user approaches the electronic pen 100 to the sticky note 200, the electronic pen 100 captures the pattern image printed on the sticky note 200, converts the pattern image into a specific code, and then A recording file matching a specific code can be output as a voice.

Through this process, the user can read the memo recorded on the sticky note 200 using the electronic pen 100.

Meanwhile, when multiple pattern images are printed on different blocks (areas) on the sticky note 200, multiple voices may be recorded on one sticky note 200.

Figure 4 is a diagram for explaining the process of recording voice on sticky note paper.

Referring to FIG. 4, a pattern image corresponding to a recording command code may be printed in one area on the other side of the sticky note 200.

The electronic pen 100 can capture a pattern image corresponding to this recording command code, analyze it, and enter the recording mode.

When entering the recording mode, in the next step, the electronic pen 100 may request to select the sticky note 200 that is printing a pattern image corresponding to a specific code in which to store the recording file. At this time, when the user uses the electronic pen 100 to photograph another area of the sticky note 200 (for example, an area other than the area where the pattern image corresponding to the recording command code is printed), the electronic pen 100 ) recognizes a specific code by analyzing the pattern image printed in the corresponding area. Then, the electronic pen 100 records the voice by matching it with the recognized code.

In recording mode, when the user speaks or outputs a voice by playing it on another voice reproduction device (e.g., audio, TV, etc.), the voice is input into the microphone included in the electronic pen 100, and the electronic pen ( 100) converts these voices and creates a recording file.

Then, the electronic pen 100 stores the recorded file by matching it with a specific recognized code.

Figure 5 is a diagram showing a first example of using a sticky note and an electronic pen according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 5, a user can use the sticky note 200 for office purposes. When wanting to leave a phone memo, the user can write simple information on the other side of the sticky note 200 and record the detailed information in voice using the electronic pen 100. Additionally, the user can easily attach the sticky note 200 to a device (for example, a computer 500) in the office space.

The recorded content is stored in the electronic pen 100 in correspondence with the code printed on the sticky note 200.

Then, when the user approaches the electronic pen 100 to the sticky note 200 again, the content recorded by the electronic pen 100 is played.
