B2) and printed out by the image output device 23.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

As explained above, conventional data processing devices and electronic whiteboard devices are both independent and do not exist in a combined form, so electronic whiteboard data can only be saved on paper, and the data cannot be saved. Editing, processing, and repurposing could not be done like with a word processor.

This invention was made to solve the above problems, and it connects an electronic notation device (electronic whiteboard device) and a data processing device to transfer data to each other, and the image data stored in the buffer of the electronic notation device is The purpose is to enable information to be freely edited by a data processing device.

[Means to solve the problem]

The document processing device according to the present invention includes a central processing unit 13, a display device 14, an input device 12.12A, a storage device 15 for storing a control program for the central processing unit 13, and a program or document created according to the control program. A data processing device in which a file storage device 11 that stores files as a file is connected to each other via a system bus 19, a central processing device 25, and an image scanner 21 that reads image information written on a notation section (blackboard); A buffer 22 for storing image information read by an image scanner 21 is provided with an electronic notation device connected to each other, and the data processing device and the electronic notation device are connected to an image transfer device 31 and a character recognition device 32. They are characterized by being interconnected through an intervening arrangement.

[Effect]
