Abstract

Abstract A portable graphic computer apparatus comprises a tablet (10) for inputting coordinates, a detecting circuit (23) for detecting coordinate data corresponding to coordinates inputted via the tablet (10), an image data forming means (37, 38, 40) for forming image data from coordinate data detected by the detecting circuit (23), a memory (43) for storing the image data, a video signal generating means (38, 44, 45, 46) for generating a video signal from the image data, a sound source (59, 60), a speaker (50) connected to the sound source (59, 60), and a cabinet (4, 5) accommodating therein at least one of the above elements from the tablet (10) to the speaker (50). The musical pitch and/or sound volume of the sound source (59, 60) can be varied by an output signal of the coordinate data detecting circuit (23).

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 146 words
A portable graphic computer apparatus comprising: (a) a tablet (10) for inputting coordinates; (b) detecting means (23) for detecting coordinate data corresponding to coordinates inputted via the tablet (10); (c) image data forming means (37, 38, 40) for forming image data from coordinate data detected by the detecting means; (d) a memory (43) for storing said image data; (e) video signal generating means (38, 44, 45, 46) for generating a video signal from said image data; (f) a sound source (59, 60) (g) a speaker (50) connected to the sound source (59, 60); and (h) a cabinet (4, 5) accommodating therein at least one of the above elements from the tablet (10) to the speaker (50); wherein at least one of the pitch and the volume of the sound source (59, 60) can be varied by an output signal of the coordinate data detecting means (23).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 146 words
A portable graphic computer apparatus comprising: (a) a tablet (10) for inputting coordinates; (b) detecting means (23) for detecting coordinate data corresponding to coordinates inputted via the tablet (10); (c) image data forming means (37, 38, 40) for forming image data from coordinate data detected by the detecting means; (d) a memory (43) for storing said image data; (e) video signal generating means (38, 44, 45, 46) for generating a video signal from said image data; (f) a sound source (59, 60) (g) a speaker (50) connected to the sound source (59, 60); and (h) a cabinet (4, 5) accommodating therein at least one of the above elements from the tablet (10) to the speaker (50); wherein at least one of the pitch and the volume of the sound source (59, 60) can be varied by an output signal of the coordinate data detecting means (23).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 58 words
Apparatus according to claim 1, so operative that the sound volume of the sound source (59, 60) is successively changed in accordance with a change of input coordinates to the tablet (10) in one axial direction and the pitch of the sound source is successively changed in accordance with a change of input coordinates in another axial direction.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 39 words
Apparatus according to claim 1 or 2, comprising a sound button (57) for selectively controlling the coordinate detecting means (23) so that the sound source (59, 60) is driven by an output signal of the coordinate detecting means (23).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 17 words
Apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the sound button (57) is provided on the cabinet (4, 5).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 36 words
Apparatus according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the cabinet (4, 5) comprises means (4b to 4e) for mounting a tracing sheet (52) on peripheral portions of the tablet (10) in the cabinet (4, 5).
