Device for creating a colored screen text page

The invention relates to a device for creating a colored screen text page according to the preamble of the claim 1 .

A BTX page can appear on a television screen to be brought. A television screen has a multiplicity or a grid of luminous points that can be activated. On each of these A character in any color can be displayed in the grid. So a Btx page is composed of the characters of the character set like a grid; A certain character then appears in a certain color on each grid point on the screen - or · it appears no sign.

In order to create a Btx page, you have to use a corresponding rasterized template, the characters from the character set, in the desired color for the text and the graphic design the Btx side to be composed; the composite Btx page is then electronically, in a grid and is then available as a Btx page.

In practice, the creation takes place, i.e. the editing of a Btx page, by electronic means, i.e. at a computer workstation. The saved colors and characters are numeric codes assigned. The editor has to put the code numbers on his keyboard for the desired color and then for Enter the desired character using the keyboard, and this character will appear in the corresponding color on the screen. The character can then be transferred to the desired location on the screen - this Veise the Btx side is put together grid point by grid point. This way of working is relatively cumbersome and time-consuming.

sullen. To make things easier, there is already a so-called editing panel. This is a board or plate on which touch points are arranged, which trigger the execution of a certain command when touched with an electric stylus. However, these are merely operational commands, such as "Load", "Save", "positioning", etc. The main difficulty in Btx editing, however, is that the Editeur in Aua optionally be of the next character in substantially Memory is dependent. From his memory he has to get an idea of which character and color belongs to the next grid position on the Btx page, and he must also remember the code digits for the desired color and the desired character on his input keyboard tap. This is exhausting, time-consuming, cumbersome.

To avoid these difficulties, the invention is based on the object of providing a device of the type mentioned at the beginning To create a way in which the colors and graphic signs are (at least in part) visibly represented and through simple manual operation can be selected.

The solution to this problem is in the labeling part of the Claim 1 specified.

Thanks to this device, the trader does not need to do anything To memorize numerical codes for certain, presented colors and / or characters (or to look up each separately) and in a Enter keyboard, but according to the invention, these colors and characters are visible on a board and are selected by touching with a pen. The touch points for colors are advantageous in terms of shape known staining scale squares (or rectangles) arranged. Such colored cup squares are from the graphic industry known. With the help of these colored bezel squares, the editor, like a graphic artist, can determine the respective color or color. select the fine shade.

It has proven to be a good optimum that five color-cauline squares are provided next to one another on the board with increasing darkness or color saturation.

A number of touch points in the color of each background color are advantageously provided under these color scale squares.

Furthermore, there is at least one field with touch points on the board for one graphic character each, in particular so-called smooth, line, mosaic and the like. Characters arranged.

By touching a certain touch point of a colored scale square, the corresponding fcolor and by touching a touch point of a certain graphic character is this character - in the previously keyed color - selected. The selected characters can be immediately transferred to the editing screen. However, it is useful if the sign appears beforehand by touching a touch point on the board for assessment purposes. Vird If you have agreed to the character, it can be * most easily done by touching another touch point «on the edit screen» screen can be transferred.

To explain the invention in more detail, an exemplary embodiment is described below with reference to the drawing *

Fig. 1 is a plan view of a device according to the invention (on a btx-JSditier-Tableau geraäss the Invention);

Fig. 2 is a side view in the direction of arrow II

, in Fig.I.

3 shows the device according to the invention with a screen in perspective. The device is in the form of a panel 1. On the top The panel 1 has a large number of button parts 2 ^ 3 * 4,5,6, which are activated when touched or tapped with an electronic TaBtstift 7. The stylus 7 is

via a cable 8 to the associated electronic circuit connected inside panel 1 *

A board with keypads that can be "activated" by tapping a stylus is already known. These dead spots are only dead spots for Operation commands like "Load", "Save", "Position" (see page 5, paragraph 1).

Such buttons 6 for operation commands are also provided in the btx editing panels according to the invention, (namely in the exemplary embodiment aa right edge area j The invention consists primarily in the fact that on panel 1 for each color and for each graphic character ( or at least one touch point 2, 3, 4 are provided for a representative selection of colors and characters known. 9 ^ttm upper edge of the panel 1 provided side by side in Beispielefall.sind five color squares scale. Each Farbskalenqua- ₍₉ hydrate five sensing locations 2 is five times divided, the each have a certain color or shade of color. The editor can then clearly see the colors available for selection. A specific color is selected by touching the corresponding touch point 2. under the color scale squares 9 there is a series of touch points la for a background color or a foreground color intended. The color selected in each case using a touch point 2 - or the entire graphic or btx page - can are thus overlaid with a certain background or foreground color - again by simply touching one touch point '2a.

As mentioned at the beginning, the graphic or btx page is made up of a large number of grid-like graphic characters. According to the invention, a touch point 3 is provided on the table % for each of these graphic characters. The respective graphic symbol is shown on touch point 3.

In the example case, three pelders - from! Detect 3 are provided.

Becomes a touch point 2 or 2a and then a key part 3 touched or tapped with stylus 7, the corresponding character is selected in the corresponding color. As a control, the editor can now tap a specific point on panel 1 with the stylus, and it The corresponding symbol then appears in the corresponding color for assessment. The middle one The lower field 11 of the panel 1 is occupied by touch points 10 of this type.

In addition to the touch points 3 for predetermined, defined graphic characters, it is useful if the graphic artist or The editor has other characters available, which he can freely define or define for his respective task. For this purpose, in the example case, three fields 12, 13, 14 are next to one another on the upper / middle area of the table 1, that is to say between the field 11 and the color scale squares 9 Sensing points 4, 4a, 4b are provided for such freely definable characters. These graphical characters or tactile

Stelleiv 4, 4a, 4b differ in the difference resolution

borrowed ', so that certain, uniform colored areas can quickly be put together from these differently sized tactile points i characters. In each these touch points 4, 4a, 4b -can also each any graphical character or. a small graphic -be drawn. By tapping the appropriate Touch point 4,4a, 4b with the button 7 is then the Corresponding characters selected in the corresponding color. From the left edge area of table 1, a field with Taetitellon 5 is also provided, through which a memory cell can be selected in each case. In the example case there is eeche Rows of ten memory cells each next to each other seen.

On the right edge area of Tafol 1 there are buttons 6 below each other for operation commands - as already mentioned -

seen.

The workplace of the btx editor also has a screen on which the respective btx page is displayed of table 1 selected characters successively, grid point by grid point, is built up. And that will be on of table 1 each selected in the corresponding color
