Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate the need for a telegraphic message sheet at the time of transmitting characters and graphic information by directly transferring telegraphic messages for handwriting characters and graphic information. CONSTITUTION:When a handwriting graphic is transmitted, the transmission information on characters and graphic information to be transmitted is directly written on the panel surface of a graphic input device, 1 is stored in a storage device 3, is converted into voice signal by a signal conversion circuit 4 after- wards and is transmitted to an exchange via a switching circuit 5. On the contrary, when the transmission information is received by this telephone set 9, the reception information from the exchange is supplied to the signal conversion circuit 4 via the switching circuit 5, is converted into graphic data capable of being stored in a storage device 3 by this signal conversion circuit 4, is supplied to the storage device 3 and is stored. Then the graphic data stored in the storage circuit 3 is an output device 2 is picture-displayed.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a telephone with a handwritten graphic input / output device for directly transmitting and receiving handwritten characters and graphic information telegrams.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a device for transmitting character and graphic information using a telephone line, there is a well-known facsimile device or a still image telephone. The facsimile machine sends and receives electronic text of characters and graphic information written on paper through a telephone line.

Further, in a still image telephone, characters, graphic information or a person image taken by a television camera is transmitted using a telephone line. Further, it is possible to display the characters, the graphic information or the person image received by the still image telephone.

[0004]

However, the facsimile apparatus of the conventional example requires a paper on which electronic texts of characters and graphic information are described at the time of transmission, and a paper that reproduces the electronic texts at the time of reception. In this case, even a simple electronic message is written on paper and transmitted, so a large amount of paper that is a consumable item is required. It also lacks in convenience. Furthermore, the scale of the device is large,
There is a drawback that a large installation space is required.

An object of the present invention is to solve such a problem and to directly transmit and receive handwritten characters and graphic information telegrams, and to eliminate the need for electronic paper for transmitting characters and graphic information. An object is to provide a telephone with an input / output device.

[0006]

A telephone with a handwritten figure input / output device of the present invention includes a figure input device for outputting the figure data of input handwritten information, a storage device for storing the figure data, and a reception from an exchange. A signal conversion circuit that converts a signal so that it can be stored in a storage device, and that converts the graphic data stored in the storage device into a transmission signal and sends it, and an output that displays an image of the graphic data stored in the storage circuit. Department,
An audio signal processing unit for inputting and outputting an audio signal and a switching circuit for selecting a signal conversion circuit or an audio signal processing unit are provided.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT An embodiment of a telephone with a handwritten graphic input / output device of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the configuration of the embodiment.

In FIG. 1, the telephone 8 is provided with a handwritten graphic input / output device 9. This handwritten graphic input / output device 9 is provided with a graphic input device 1 for directly handwriting characters and graphics on a board, and an output device 2 for displaying received characters, electronic text of graphic information, or characters to be transmitted, graphic information. Has been. Further, a storage device 3 for storing the received character or message of graphic information, or the character or graphic information to be transmitted,
The signal stored in the storage device 3 is converted into a signal,
A signal conversion circuit 4 for converting a received information signal from the exchange is provided.

Further, a switching circuit 5 for switching the line connected to the exchange to two circuits and an audio signal processing circuit 6 connected to one of the switching circuits 5 are provided. The other side of the switching circuit 5 is connected to the signal conversion circuit 4 in the handwritten figure input / output device 9.

Further, a control circuit 7 connected to the handwritten figure input / output device 9, the switching circuit 5 and the audio signal processing circuit 6 is provided, and the operation section 10 is connected to the control circuit 7. Next, the operation of this configuration will be described.

During a normal call, the switching circuit 5 selects the voice signal processing circuit 6, and the voice signal is transmitted and received between the exchange and the voice signal processing circuit 6 through the switching circuit 5.

Next, when transmitting a handwritten figure, the characters and figure information to be transmitted are directly written on the board of the figure input device 1. The written transmission information is stored in the storage device 3.

Thereafter, the transmission information stored in the storage device 3 is converted by the signal conversion circuit 4 into a voice band signal, that is, a band signal and a format that can be transmitted by the line and the exchange, and is sent to the exchange through the switching circuit 5. It

In this case, the switching circuit 5 selects the signal conversion circuit 4 in the handwritten figure input / output device 9 so as to select the control circuit 7.
Switch with the control of. This switching is performed by a switching operation of the operation unit 10 connected to the control circuit 7. Also voice circuit 6
It is also possible to discriminate the voice signal or the like and automatically perform it.

On the contrary, when the telephone 9 receives such transmission information, the reception information from the exchange is supplied to the signal conversion circuit 4 through the switching circuit 5, and the signal conversion circuit 4 stores it in the storage device 3. It is converted into possible graphic data and supplied to the storage circuit 3 for storage. Next, the graphic data stored in the storage circuit 3 is displayed as an image on the output device 2.

[0017]

As is apparent from the above description, the telephone with a handwritten figure input / output device of the present invention transmits / receives by a voice signal during a call, and transmits a handwritten figure by a character,
The transmission information of the graphic information is directly written on the board of the graphic input device, stored and converted into a voice band signal,
Since it is sent to a switchboard and vice versa, handwritten characters and graphic information telegrams can be sent and received directly, which eliminates the need for electronic paper when transmitting characters and graphic information. Have.
