Title: smart scale ruler field of application: plan reading
1. Assessment of prior art
The tools available to obtain the actual size of the plan have some limitations. For example, some common scales in the design are used in the conventional scale ruler. In addition, this ruler covers a maximum of 6 scales due to the design type and the scale of the plan must also be known to obtain the actual size. This device would be ineffective when the scale of the plan is not specified, or the scale on which the plan is designed does not occur within the range of 6 scales available on this ruler, or the plan design has been drawn by unconventional scales due to some limitations. In such cases, the tool can be used for approximation and estimation. For example in the fields of architecture and urban planning, to draw and prepare a plan based on an image (photo), the actual size of one of the dimensions or elements in the image is first determined. Then, the plan scale is obtained from the ratio of the actual size to the size in the photo, and based on this scale, other sizes are extracted from the plan. However, it is possible that the scale obtained occurs outside the scope of the common scales used in this type of scale ruler such as 1:55, 1: 620, etc. Under these circumstances, these types of rulers are practically ineffective to get other sizes from the plan or photo. In such conditions, converting the sizes will require professional and spending more time to do the task. Also, these rulers are manufactured in small sizes of 30, 40, and 50 cm. Thus, when the plans are drawn in large dimensions such as A0, Al, A2, the rulers will face limitations in size as well.
The digital prototype of this scale ruler is basically designed to draw a plan and cannot perform the process of plan reading and unit conversion due to the design type. In addition, it faces some limitations in terms of dimensions as in the conventional model. In the plans, in addition to the
lines, there are other elements such as angles that these rulers cannot measure, which should be measured with other means and tools such as a protractor or digital goniometer (angle sensor). Another problem with these rulers is that they can only measure continuous lines and distances in the same direction. Thus, if the required distance or line is not continuous and in one direction, these devices are not again capable of measuring these distances and lines (Picture 1), while a device used to read the plan should be able to measure different aspects of a plan.
(Picture 1).
Other specialized applications, directly and indirectly, perform the scale conversion process. First, the size is taken from the plan. It is then manually entered into the software followed by calculating the values. However, access to these types of software seems difficult and even impossible at sometimes like workshop conditions or at the project execution site or in the design training ateliers. In addition, in this method, the work process is indirect and mediated and working by this approach requires prior training and mastery of this type of application.

Smart scale ruler consists of a calibrated metal body (A-l), a touch screen (A-2), a movable jaw (A-3), a rotating jaw (A-4), a digital protractor (A-5) and parts added to the main body (A-6).
3-1. Main body consists of a calibrated metal axis based on metric and non-metric system and also has ability to increase the length. The back of this body is designed as a guide surface to allow touch screen and movable jaw move along this body. A copper plate (A- 1-4) which is located below the calibrated plate (A- 1-1) of the body, together with an electronic circuit below the touch screen constitute capacitive sensors of the smart scale ruler. At the beginning of this body, the digital protractor clock housing is embedded (A- 1-2) and at the end of the main body and on the back, a tongue for another piece of this body by screw has been considered (A- 1 - 3).
3-2. Smart touch screen (A-2): Smart scale ruler consists of a touch screen (A-2-1), hardware keys On / Off / Lock (A-2-2), USB input (A-2-3), retaining tab of movable jaw (A-2-4), mounting place of ball clamps (A-2-5), ball clamps / screw, spring / ball bearings (A-2-6), screen moving knob (A-2-7) and an electronic circuit below the screen. By moving the screen along the metal body of the smart scale ruler, the rectangular plates of copper bar embedded below the main body’s calibrated plate (A- 1-1) are changing mode and stored charge level among plates varies. When these conditions emerge, a signal is sent to the chip placed in the board below the screen and this signal is interpreted and would be displayed numerically and based on the settings made by user on the screen. The lower part of the body of this screen has been designed in such a way that slide-mounted on the metal body to move the screen and the movable jaw easily and without clearance (A-2-8).
3-3. Movable jaw (A-3): the movable jaw consists of a metal body (A-3-1), end caps of metal body (A-3-2), holes for placing ball clamps (A-3-3), fixing screws of caps (A-3-4), groove on the touch screen tab (A-3-5). Movable jaw seats in the embedded place below the touch screen (A-2-4) and simultaneously as the screen moves, it moves along the metal body and calculates the amount of dimension changes based on the explained mechanism. Placement of the movable jaw in the embedded place is done in such a way that the groove of the movable jaw body (A-3-5) is placed in the embedded tab below the screen and then the movable jaw caps are fixed in place by screw (A-3-4) so that when moving up or down, if required, does not
come out in its place. And in the last step, ball clamps (A-2-6) are installed in its place (A-2- 5) so that moving up and down of this jaw is done in a controlled and step-by-step manner.
3-4. Rotating jaw (A-4): rotating jaw consists of a metal body (A-4-1), two caps (A-4-2), placement holes of ball clamp ball-bearing (A-4-3), cap retaining screws (A-4-4), groove for retaining nut placement (A-4-5) and clamps limiting the rotation of rotating jaw (A-4-6). The rotating jaw is located under the digital protractor clock and transfers the rotation to the protractor by the axis of the digital protractor clock. How to connect a digital protractor clock to a rotating jaw is that first the ball clamps are installed in place and then the protractor clock is placed at the beginning of the main body and the retaining nut (A-5-6) is installed in the built-in groove at the end of the axis of the digital protractor clock (A-5-5). Then the retaining nut is placed inside the groove of rotating jaw (A-4-5) and finally caps (A-4-3) are fixed in place by screws so that when moving up and down of rotating jaw, the retaining nut does not come out of the groove. This type of design allows the rotating jaw can move up and down while rotating around the axis of the digital protractor clock. To prevent excessive rotation of the rotating jaw and damage to the axis and the digital protractor clock, a clamp (A-4-6) is placed on its body which limits the amount of rotation of the rotating jaw to 360 degrees.
3-5. Digital protractor (A-5): digital protractor clock consists of a touch screen (A-5-1), a key below the screen (A-5-2), the body (A-5-3), axis of rotation (A-5-4), groove for retaining nut placement (A-5-5). This clock is located at the beginning of the metal body at its place and as described previously, is attached to the rotating jaw. A key (A-5-5) is embedded under the screen of the digital protractor clock which is placed on the main body and prevents the clock from rotating when the jaw rotates. This clock has the ability to screen the value of the angle in three forms: Degree, Grad and Radian, which with each time touching the screen, the current system changes to the next system. Angle displayed on the screen of the digital protractor clock is based on the amount of angle created by the edge of the main body with the edge of the movable jaw. Generally, the value 90 is displayed on the screen.
3-6. Added parts (A-6): these parts consist of two separate pieces (A-6-1) 30 to 70 cm and (A- 6-2) 70 to 100 cm. These parts are designed as railing system like the main body so that movable jaw can move along it and its calibrated plate, like the main body, is divided into centimeters and inches.

6. How to work with the smart scale ruler
6-1. Method I: The plan has a certain scale
In this case, we first select the “made scale” option from the main menu and then press the OK button (Step 1, Picture 4). Then, we enter the intended scale at the bottom of the screen by available numbers and press the “OK” (OK) and go to the “show scale” menu (Step 2, Picture 4). In this section, the selected scale is displayed. The values inside “size on plan” and “real size” cells (windows) are changed by opening and closing the movable jaw and the size measured on the plan and its actual value will be displayed (Step 2, Picture 4). The display units of the number inside these cells can be changed to custom units via the embedded cascade menu. In the case of selecting the metric system, the units of “mm, cm, m, and km” can be chosen through these menus, while in selecting the non-metric system, the units of “inch, ft, yard, and mile” can be chosen.
(Picture 4). Steps to set up smart scale ruler software through the screen (display).
6-2. Method II: The plan has not a certain scale
The scale is not specified in some plans or images or the scale is specified by the scale line in the plan. In this method, as in the first method, we first select the “made scale” option from the main menu and then press the “OK” button (Step 1, Picture 5). Since the scale of the plan is not clear and the scale must be calculated by the smart scale ruler, we choose the “set custom scale” option. At this time, one size is measured on the plan using the jaws and the size value is displayed in the “size on plan” window numerically. The size value can also be manually entered in this window (size on the plan). Then, we enter the actual value of this size in the “real size” window and the scale is calculated by the smart software of this scale ruler (Step 2, Picture 5). After completing this step, pressing the OK button will display the “show scale” menu. This section is like the final menu in the first method, in which, the required system and units are selected from this menu and the ruler is ready to work (Step 3, Picture 5).
(Picture 5) Setting the scale based on the reference scale (set custom scale).
6-3. Digital Protractor
The smart scale ruler has a rotating jaw at the end, which allows measuring the angles on the plan. The jaw at the end has a 360° rotation capability, which displays the degree of the angle measured in a digital clock. This watch is located at the bottom of the metal body and on the rotating jaw. This clock is connected to the rotating jaw with an axis and calculates the angle changes based on the rotation value of the jaw. This digital touch clock is capable of displaying the angular value in three different degrees, gradian, and radian systems. The current system switches to another system by touching the screen every time.
A toggle is embedded at the upper end of this rotary jaw, which restricts the rotation of the jaw to 360 degrees to prevent damage to the digital clock axis (Picture 6,7,8).
(Picture 7).
If needed, the rotating jaw can be used to measure angles up to 90 degrees clockwise and counterclockwise up to 270 degrees. After completing the angle measurement, we position the upper jaw at an angle of 90 degrees. The ball bearing supports under this part hold this jaw fixed in its place.
(Picture 8).
The amount of angle displayed in the digital clock is calculated in terms of the angle created between the top edge of the main body and the inner edge above the rotating jaw.
7. Technical field
The smart scale ruler can be used in all fields where it is not possible to prepare plans of the real dimensions of examined objects or subjects such as architectural plans, urban planning, geology, shipbuilding, aircraft manufacturing, electronics, mechanics, scale model-making, etc.
