Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim
87 words
A display-reproducing apparatus comprising: a display board; a reading means for reading information displayed on the board; and a reproducing device for reproducing the information read by the reading means, wherein said board is formed such that both written information by a writing means and a projected image can be displayed simultaneously on the board with the written information being erasable, and said reading means is selectively capable of reading either the written information and the projected image or both by scanning a surface of the board.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
87 words
A display-reproducing apparatus comprising: a display board; a reading means for reading information displayed on the board; and a reproducing device for reproducing the information read by the reading means, wherein said board is formed such that both written information by a writing means and a projected image can be displayed simultaneously on the board with the written information being erasable, and said reading means is selectively capable of reading either the written information and the projected image or both by scanning a surface of the board.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
