Description

[0001] The present invention relates to an electronic pen,

The present invention relates to an electronic pen. And more particularly to an electronic pen that provides various voices.

There are devices that recognize markers printed on a print medium and output data related to markers.

A bar code reader reads such bar codes printed on a printing medium, and then outputs data corresponding to the bar code to a display device or the like.

In recent years, many electronic pens have been developed that recognize specific codes printed on a print medium such as a book and output voices corresponding to these codes.

Such an electronic pen includes a code reader device, reads a specific code printed on a printing medium such as a book, and outputs a voice corresponding to the code through a speaker or the like.

Typically, only text is displayed on a print medium such as a book. Therefore, only the user is provided with the type information. If such an electronic pen is used, the user's experience of the reader can be enhanced since the user can also provide voice information in addition to the type information .

Especially, when the text contained in the print medium is a foreign language, the voice information such as pronunciation is more advantageous than the type information. In this case, since the electronic pen can provide foreign language pronunciation in addition to foreign language text, It is high.

However, in such a system using the conventional electronic pen, the contents output by the electronic pen are processed so that the user can hear it well, and the pronunciation is different from the pronunciation of the foreigner that the user actually hears in the real life. It is difficult to improve the listening ability of the user.

In view of the foregoing, it is an object of the present invention to provide a voice and various versions of contents similar to the pronunciation of a foreigner, which a user hears in real life in an electronic pen.

In order to achieve the above object, in one aspect, the present invention provides a technique for providing contents corresponding to a pattern image of a printed matter in an electronic pen in various voices. According to this technique, the user can more easily listen and understand the pronunciation of foreigners in real life.

A method in which an electronic pen provides contents with various voices, the contents are provided in various voices using function keys provided in the electronic pen.

For example, after the electronic pen outputs the contents of the basic voice, if the user presses a function key provided on the electronic pen, the contents with the added first-stage noise are output. When the user presses the function key provided on the electronic pen once more The content to which the second-stage noise is added is outputted, and when the user presses the function key again, the content to which the third-stage noise is added can be outputted.

Further, when the function key provided on the electronic pen is pressed, the audio of the content output from the electronic pen may be randomly changed and output.

In addition, the content may be output in the kind of the voice designated by the user in advance when the function key provided on the electronic pen is pressed.

In addition, a printed matter for changing the sound of the content output from the electronic pen may be provided.

A noise area is printed on a printed matter that changes the audio of the content so that noise is added to the output of the content. When the electronic pen recognizes the noise area, noise is added to the output content and is output.

The noise region may be composed of a plurality of regions so as to control the degree of noise, and a plurality of patterns are printed with different pattern images. When the electronic pen recognizes any one of the noise regions, Noise is added to the content and output.

A printed matter for changing the audio of the content is printed with a speed adjusting area for adjusting the output speed of the contents. When the electronic pen recognizes the speed control area, the output speed of the output content is adjusted.

This rate adjustment area may include a fast area to speed up the output speed of the content and a slower area to slow the output speed.

In addition, a printed area for changing the audio of the content is printed with a return area capable of changing the audio of the content and returning to the original audio. When the electronic pen recognizes the return area, the sound of the output content is output as the original content sound.

In addition, the voice of the content output from the electronic pen may be changed by selecting the country, region, sex, occupation, and the like.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a sound content similar to a pronunciation of a foreigner, which is heard by a user in real life, in an electronic pen, and provide various versions of contents to improve the user's listening ability in real life .

It should be noted that, in adding reference numerals to the constituent elements of the drawings, the same constituent elements are denoted by the same reference numerals whenever possible, even if they are shown in different drawings. In the following description of the present invention, a detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may make the subject matter of the present invention rather unclear.

In describing the components of the present invention, terms such as first, second, A, B, (a), and (b) may be used. These terms are intended to distinguish the constituent elements from other constituent elements, and the terms do not limit the nature, order or order of the constituent elements. When a component is described as being "connected", "coupled", or "connected" to another component, the component may be directly connected to or connected to the other component, It should be understood that an element may be "connected," "coupled," or "connected."

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

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

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 may include a voice data DB 132 and a bookmark DB (134) may be included.

The image sensor 110 recognizes the image printed on the print medium.

Print media refers to various types of media on which images are printed. For example, the print media may be paper, such as books, cards, newspapers, magazines, flyers, brochures, and post. As another example, the print medium may be a school article such as a desk, a pencil case, a pencil, and an eraser. In addition, the medium capable of printing an image may be a printing medium to which one embodiment is applicable.

The image sensor 110 can recognize the pattern image printed on the print medium.

The pattern image may be an image having a certain pattern and an image for displaying specific information in the form of a specific pattern. Specifically, two pattern images formed in different patterns can correspond to different information. For example, the first pattern image formed in the first pattern corresponds to the first information, and the second pattern image formed in the second pattern corresponds to the second information.

The pattern image may be formed as a dot pattern printed on a print medium. Such a dot pattern can be patterned into dots of a predetermined size or less having low visibility.

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

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

A variety of classifications can be applied to the code. Of course, such classification may be arbitrarily changed, and variations may be made in applying the contents of the present invention.

The code can be classified into a character code, a special key code, an instruction code, a content code, a bookmark code, and the like.

The character code is a code for entering characters. Specifically, there may be a character code corresponding to the keyboard layout. For example, there may be a character code corresponding to the alphabet 'c' on the keyboard, and a character code corresponding to the Korean consonant 'A'.

The electronic pen 100 according to an embodiment can form a word using a character code.

A special key code is a code corresponding to a key representing a special function in a keyboard keyboard. As an example of the 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. There may also be a backspace key code corresponding to the backspace key.

The electronic pen 100 according to an exemplary embodiment can edit a word or perform other functions using the special key code.

The command code is a code for causing the electronic pen 100 to perform a specified function. Examples of the command code include a storage command code, a recording command code, a playback command code, and a deletion command code. When the command code is recognized, the electronic pen 100 performs a specific function corresponding to each command code .

The content code is a code corresponding to the print medium in which the content is stored. Since the digital file corresponding to the content is not actually stored in the print medium, the content code is actually a code corresponding to the pattern image printed on the print medium. The content corresponding to the content code is stored in the electronic pen 100, and the electronic pen 100 scans the print medium to output the content matched to the content code if the content code is recognized.

The bookmark code is a code corresponding to the print medium in which the content is to be stored. If the code used for other purposes can also be used to store the content, this can be the bookmark code. For example, the content code already matched to the content may be a bookmark code for storing new content according to an embodiment. Of course, according to the embodiment, the function of separating the content code and the bookmark code may be included in the electronic pen 100 so that the new content is not overwritten in the content code.

The code conversion unit 122 recognizes the codes of various classes and transmits the recognized codes to the control unit 124. The control unit 124 performs a specific function according to the characteristics of each code transmitted. The control unit 124 may control the various functions of the electronic pen 100 while generating control signals for various configurations included in the electronic pen 100.

The bookmark storage unit 126 may store the content on the print medium. Since the content file is not directly stored in the print medium, the bookmark storage unit 126 can technically store the bookmark code and the content corresponding to the print medium on which the bookmark code is printed. After this matching, the electronic pen 100 can scan the bookmark code and output the content matched to the bookmark code. For convenience of description, the expression "print medium on which codes are printed" is used. Here, "print medium on which codes are printed" can be understood as print media on which pattern images corresponding to the codes are printed.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of an electronic pen that provides various voices according to the present embodiments, and FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of an electronic pen Fig.

3 and 4, a technique of providing contents output from the electronic pen 100 with various voices is presented.

4, a printed matter 200 for changing the sound of the content output from the electronic pen 100 may be provided. As a result, the sound of the content output from the electronic pen 100 can be more variously changed.

The noise area 220 is printed on the printed material 200 that changes the audio of the content so as to add noise to the content. When the electronic pen 100 recognizes the noise region 220, noise is added to the output content and is output.

The noise region 220 may be composed of a plurality of regions so as to control the degree of noise. The plurality of regions may be printed with different pattern images so that the electronic pen 100 may be provided with any one of the noise regions 220 A corresponding degree of noise is added to the content and output.

In addition, a speed control area 230 for controlling the output speed of the content is printed on the printed matter 200 that changes the audio of the content. When the electronic pen 100 recognizes the speed control area 230, the output speed of the output content is adjusted.

This speed adjustment area 230 may include a fast area that speeds up the output speed of the content and a slower area that slows the output speed.

In addition, in the printed matter 200 for changing the voice of the content, the return area 240 is printed in which the voice of the content is changed and the voice of the original content is returned. When the electronic pen 100 recognizes the return area 240, the sound of the output content is output as the original content sound.

In addition, the voice of the content output from the electronic pen 100 may be changed by selecting a country, region, sex, occupation, or the like.

It is also possible to change the output speed of the outputted content partly or partially.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a sound content similar to a pronunciation of a foreigner, which is heard by a user in real life, in an electronic pen, and provide various versions of contents to improve the user's listening ability in real life .
