Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily select a character by a method wherein a computer stores 50 kana data including at least 50 cursive kana characters, the 50 kana data is indicated on a display when a character is to be assigned, and the character is assigned by being selected by a mouse. CONSTITUTION:A storage device of a main body 11 of a personal computer 10 stores 50 kana data 30. A power source of the personal computer 10 is tuned ON, a seal engraving is selected, and a return key 32 on a keyboard 13 is depressed. Then, a menu 33 is displayed on a display 12. A cursor 35 is moved on the display 12 by moving a mouse 15 on a table in front of the main body 11. For example, when the cursor 35 is positioned on 'character' in the menu 33, the color of the appropriate part is changed, and the 50 kana data is displayed on the display 12 by depressing a left button 36 of the mouse 15. The left button 36 of the mouse 15 conducts an operation of execution or decision. A right button 37 conducts an operation of cancel or erasure.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an automatic seal engraving device having an engraving machine for engraving a seal and a computer for controlling the engraving machine.

[Prior art 1] Conventionally, in this type of automatic seal engraving device, the characters to be engraved are selected using a keyboard, so although a small number of characters are selected for the seal, it is necessary to be skilled in how to use the keyboard, and a computer is not used at all. There was a lack of, φ, that the workers and technicians who did not know had to use it.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems and provides an automatic seal engraving device controlled by a computer that allows characters to be selected on the strawberry without using a keyboard.

[Means for Solving the Problems 1] The present invention is an automatic seal engraving device having an engraving machine for engraving a seal and a computer for controlling the engraving machine, the computer having a small number of 50 syllables consisting of a flat name. A seal characterized in that data containing 50 syllables is stored, and when specifying a character, the 50 syllabary data is displayed on a computer display and the character can be determined by selecting it with a mouse. The present invention provides an automatic engraving device.

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 2 showing the overall outline of the device of this invention, 1
0 is a computer or personal computer, 11 is its main body,
12 is the display, 13 is the keyboard, 15 is the mouse,
16 is a hard key.

17 is an engraving machine, and 18 is a controller for controlling this engraving machine by receiving signals from the personal computer 10, and these are connected to each other by cables as shown in the figure.

20 is a power cable for connecting the personal computer 10 to an outlet (not shown).

The storage device of the main body 11 of the personal computer 100 includes 5 shown in FIG.
Zero sound data 30 is stored. When the personal computer 10 is turned on, a seal engraving is selected, and the return key 32 on the keyboard 13 is pressed, a menu 33 shown in FIG. 1 is displayed on the display 12. When the mouse 15 is moved on the table in front of the main body 11, the cursor 35 moves on the display 12, so for example, the "character" in the menu 33 is moved.
When the left button 36 of the mouse 15 is pressed, the 50-note data 30 is displayed on the display 12. The left button 36 of the mouse 15 is used to perform an execution or decision operation, and the right button 37 is used to perform an extraction or deletion operation.

For example, to obtain the characters for a seal such as "Nippon Abe" from the 50 syllabary data 30, move the mouse 15 on the table, place the cursor 35 on the characters of the name on the plate one by one, and press the left button 3.
By repeatedly pressing 6, "Nihon Taro" can be displayed on the conversion line 40 of the display 12. When the cursor 35 is placed on a part of the 50-sound data 30 that says "weird" and the left button 36 of the mouse 15 is pressed, the character is converted into a kanji character. If another character with the same sound appears, move the cursor 3 to [View].
5 and press the left button 36, letters with the same sound appear sequentially with numbers and can be selected using the numbers in the 50-sound data 30. Each time you confirm each character, move the cursor 35 to the part that says "certain" in the 50-sound data 30.
When the left button 36 is pressed, the confirmed character is displayed on the confirmed character display section 41 of the 50-sound data 30. When all the characters are confirmed, move the cursor 35 to the part that says rc RJ in the Japanese syllabary data 30 and press the left button 36. The characters in the confirmed character display area 41 are moved to the part that says "Character 1" and the characters are displayed. The selection is completed. Although a detailed explanation will be omitted, in order to select difficult characters for a seal, it is possible to specify a JIS standard number using the 50 syllabary data 30. Also, if you want to form a double circle on the seal and display the company name on the outside and a position seal on the inside, first, once the characters on the outside are determined, move to the part that says "Character 1" and select the characters again. When confirmed, it will move to a part that says ``Character 2J''.

Although the 50-on data 30 displays voiced sounds and handakuten, it is not necessary to do so (the plain names of voiced sounds and handakuten may also be displayed).

[Effects of the Invention] This invention selects the characters for the seal to be engraved as described above, so there is no need to select the characters using the keyboard (this makes it unnecessary for people who are unskilled in computers, such as seal shop workers and technicians). However, it has become possible to select characters very easily, and it has the effect of making computer-controlled automatic seal engraving devices widely available.
