Manual electronic pen device

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To input documents of A4 size of equivalent manually through the use of Kanji (Chinese character) and sentence sheets, by reading and transferring recording information with a small and light device, without using a large-sized word processor, through the movement and control to paper of itself. CONSTITUTION:A manual electronic pen device consists of an electronic pen device main body 1 and an electronic pen 2, and this pen is moved along a guide rule 3 and a paper 10. A mark on the rule 3 is read with a distance information optical sensor 4 in a case of the pen 2 and a position pulse comformed to the mark is generated from a digital circuit 12. The reflecting light from the paper 10 is received with an optical fiber group 5 of m-row and n-column in 8-cable one set arranged at the right angle to the moving direction of the paper 10 and the reflected light is introduced to a reading optical sensor 7. The information read with this sensor 7 is converted into a digital signal at a digital conversion circuit 11 and the signal is applied to a control section 14 of the main body 1 together with the output of the circuit 12 and stored in a storage circuit 13, allowing to make the input of documents such as A4 size easy.
