[Prior art]
Conventionally, as a method of making a hard copy of a document or the like created using an information device, the data of the created document or the like is sent to a printer and printed on paper using ink or toner. A method of copying using toner, a method of converting data such as created documents into light, heat, or electrical energy, and recording that data on digital paper with a chromic or liquid crystal material sandwiched between films It has been known.
[0003]
However, in the process of creating conference materials, manuscripts, or creative activities, when a large number of recording media on which documents, graphs, designs, etc. are printed are handwritten, There are times when it is desirable to grasp what kind of retouching has been made on which page of the document as organized information, but the current situation is extremely time-consuming.
[0004]
Therefore, for example, by placing a digital paper on which a thermochromic material is sandwiched between films and pre-recorded digital paper on the heat panel and using an input unit that can input information by handwriting, the input can be performed. The movement of the part is detected with a digitizer. Then, the heat panel is heated in accordance with the detected movement of the input unit, and the information input by handwriting is recorded and displayed on the digital paper, and the data detected by the digitizer is stored in a memory chip attached to the digitizer. There is a thing (refer patent document 1).
[0005]
According to this technology, information input by handwriting on digital paper that can be written or erased can be stored in a memory chip, or the stored handwritten input information can be collectively displayed on the digital paper or transmitted to an information device. Therefore, handwritten information can be organized without consuming paper, and the handwritten information can be stored in the memory.
[0006]
In addition, a large number of pressure sensors are placed on the surface of the board. When the board is pressed with a pen on the paper medium on which the original information is recorded, the pressure information is detected by the pressure sensor. In addition, a clip that holds a paper medium is provided with a detection unit for an identification symbol attached to the paper medium, and the identification symbol is stored together with the additional information (see Patent Document 2).
[0007]
According to this technology, it is convenient to store the retouching information for each paper medium, but when there are a plurality of paper media, it is impossible to read the information retouched on a specific paper medium. There are drawbacks.
[0008]
Therefore, information added to a plurality of recording media such as digital paper and paper media with an identification symbol is detected by a digitizer, etc., and the identification symbol is read by a bar code reader and stored in a memory by associating them. Thus, there is one in which information added to a specific recording medium can be extracted from information added to a plurality of recording media (see Patent Document 3).

In this way, the detection unit 15 is firmly fixed to the recording medium fixing frame 25 with screws, and the recording medium 30 is fixed to the recording medium fixing frame 25 so as not to be displaced in the horizontal direction and held. Since the part is held so as not to move in the vertical direction, the writing position can be detected with high accuracy.
[0053]
5 to 7 are diagrams showing a state in which the detection unit is arranged on any side surrounding three sides of the recording medium fixing frame, and FIGS. 5A to 7A are diagrams illustrating fixing of the recording medium. FIG. 5B to FIG. 7B show the positional relationship between the recording medium placed on the frame and the detection unit, the position of the detection unit, and the position signal issuing unit detected by the writing position detection unit. The relationship with the coordinate position is shown.

In FIG. 9A, a barcode 31 consisting of document identification information, profit information, and a 6-digit number “265959” indicating the ID (identification number) of the document owner is added to three sides of the recording medium. Thus, the ID (identification number) of the document owner is not registered in the detection unit 15. Therefore, here, the relationship between the “professional information” and the arrangement position of the detection unit 15 is out of consideration, and the document owner is identified from the ID (identification number) of the document owner read from the barcode 31 of the recording medium 30. “The owner of the document is Mr. Hattori” is displayed on the display unit 7.
[0066]
In FIG. 9B, compared with the case of FIG. 9A, the advantage information of the barcode 31 is “for left hand”.
[0067]
Therefore, here, since the relationship between the “professional information” and the arrangement position of the detection unit 15 is inconsistent, “please install it to the right” is urged to change the arrangement position of the detection unit 15. It is displayed on the display unit 7.
[0068]
FIG. 9C shows a state where it is not necessary to consider the relationship between the “professional information” and the arrangement position of the detection unit 15 as compared with the case of FIG. The difference is that the owner ID (123456) is registered in advance and is inconsistent with the document owner ID (265959) read from the barcode 31 of the recording medium 30.
[0069]
Therefore, here, the ID of the owner of the document printed on the recording medium 30 placed on the recording medium fixed frame 25 and the ID registered in advance in the detection unit 15 are inconsistent. A warning “unable to use user is different” is displayed on the display unit 7.
[0070]
Here, when this warning is displayed, the control unit of the information processing apparatus may stop reading the added information or display the “warning” but read the added information. You may decide to do it.
[0071]
In FIG. 9D, compared with the case of FIG. 9A, the detection unit 15 registers “professional information” of the document owner in advance. Also, a barcode A31 indicating that the left and right dominant arms can be used is added to the upper side 35 of the recording medium 30, and a barcode B31 indicating that the dominant arm is for the right hand is added to the left side 37. 36 is different in that a bar code C31 indicating that the dominant arm is for the left hand is added.
[0072]
Accordingly, here, the detection unit 15 is arranged on the left side 37, and the identification symbol reading unit 9 reads the barcode B31 indicating that the advantage is for the right hand. “Use OK” is displayed on the display unit 7 in accordance with “Information”.
[0073]
In FIG. 9 (e), compared with the case of FIG. 9 (a), the “owning information” of the document owner is registered in the detection unit 15 in advance. Further, the same interest information (for the right hand) is added to the barcode 31 added to the upper side 35, the right side 36, and the left side 37 of the recording medium 30.
[0074]
Therefore, here, the detection unit 15 is arranged at a position facing the left side 37 of the recording medium, and the identification symbol reading unit reads the barcode 31 indicating that the dominant arm is for the right hand, and is registered in advance. “Use OK” is displayed on the display unit 7 in accordance with the “profession information” of the document owner.
[0075]
FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a processing flow from barcode reading by the identification symbol reading unit to determination by the determination circuit, and FIG. 10A is a processing flow of “professional information”, and FIG. b) is a processing flow of “user ID”.
[0076]
Of the processing flow shown in FIG. 10 (a), the processing up to determination by the determination circuit and display on the display unit is omitted because it overlaps with the description using FIGS. 10 (a) to 10 (e). A process for converting the position coordinates read by the writing position detection unit to the position coordinates of the recording medium will be described.
[0077]
As shown in FIG. 10A, when the recording medium is fixed at a predetermined position of the recording medium fixing frame (S-1), the LED of the identification symbol reading unit is turned on, and the barcode can be read. (S-2).
[0078]
The reflected light from the barcode is received by the light receiving element of the identification symbol reading unit, and the identification information is detected (S-3). The read identification information is processed, and “profit information” is extracted (S−). 4).
[0079]
