図1Aに示すように、電子下敷体100は、シート状またはプレート状を有し、筆記用媒体の一例である紙90を載せる面100mを有する。この面100mは矩形状の平面である。ここでは、面100mが矩形状を有する場合を例として説明するが、面100mの形状はこの例に限定されるものではない。電子下敷体100の側面には、電源スイッチ101およびスロット102が設けられている。スロット102には、メモリーカードなどの外部記憶装置92が装着される。
図1Bに示すように、外装材2は、例えば、第1の外装材2aと、第2の外装材2bとを備える。第1の外装材2aは、センサ1の検出面1mの側を覆っている。このため、センサ1は第1の外装材2aを介して面100mに加わる圧力を検出する。この点を考慮すると、第1の外装材2aは、可撓性を有するシートであることが好ましい。一方、第2の外装材2bは、センサ1の裏面1nの側を覆っている。このため、第2の外装材2bは、特に物理的特性や厚さなどは特に限定されるものではなく、可撓性を有するシート、および高い曲げ剛性を有するプレートのいずれであってもよい。
以下、図2~図4を参照して、センサ1の構成の一例について説明する。センサ1は、金属層(第1の導電層(導体層))10、支持層(第1の支持層)20と、接着層30、電極層40と、支持層(第2の支持層)50と、導電層(第2の導電層(導体層))60とを備える。第1の外装材2aとセンサ1との間に接着層11aをさらに設けるようにしてもよい。また、第2の外装材2bとセンサ1との間に接着層11bをさらに設けるようにしてもよい。

図11に示すように、電子下敷体100は、センサ1と、制御装置71と、電源部72と、通信部73と、記憶装置74と、スピーカ75と、電源スイッチ101とを備える。また、電子下敷体100は、図1に示したスロット102を備え、このスロット102を介して外部記憶装置92が着脱可能である。

図17は、本技術の第1の実施形態の変形例に係る電子下敷体100の構成の一例を示す概略断面図である。図18は、構造体21、51と、X電極41bおよびY電極42bとの配置例を示す平面図である。この電子下敷体100は、単位検出領域40r内に構造体21を2個以上含んでいる点において、第1の実施形態に係る電子下敷体100とは異なっている。
[2.1 概要]
第2の実施形態では、電子下敷体100が、以下の(a)~(d)の状態を自動的に検出する。
(a)面100mに紙90が載せられていること
(b)面100mから紙90が除去されていること
(c)面100mに載せられた紙90が交換されていること
(d)面100mに載せられた紙90に対して筆記がなされていること
なお、上述したように、紙90および筆記具91はいずれも一般的なものである。
記憶装置74は、紙90のサイズ情報および筆記具91のサイズ情報を予め記憶している。
図20を参照して、本技術の第1の実施形態に係る電子下敷体100の動作の一例を説明する。まず、ステップS11において、制御装置71が、センサ1から所定周期T1で面100mの圧力分布を取得する。次に、ステップS12において、制御装置71が、ステップS11にて取得した圧力分布に基づき、面100mに紙90が載せされているか否かを判断する。
第2の実施形態に係る電子下敷体100では、ユーザが紙90を電子下敷体100の面100mに載せたのち、その紙90に筆記具91により文字を書くなどすると、筆跡情報の取り込み自動的に開始する。したがって、一般的な下敷を用いる場合と同様の行為で、筆跡情報を取得することができる。
(変形例1)
第2の実施形態では、電子下敷体100の面100mに紙90が載せられたたときの圧力分布の変化に基づき、紙90が載せされたことを検出する例について説明したが、紙90が載せられたことを検出する構成はこれに限定されるものではない。例えば、次のような構成を採用するようにしてもよい。
上述の実施形態では、電子下敷体100を紙90の下に敷いて用いる例について説明したが、電子下敷体100の用途はこの例に限定されるものではない。例えば、電子下敷体100をノートや手帳などのページ(紙)の間に挟んで用いるようにしてもよい。
[3.1 概要]
第3の実施形態では、電子下敷体100が筆記具91による筆記と消しゴムによる消去とを区別して、両者の圧力分布を区別して記憶する例について説明する。
記憶装置74は、筆記具91のサイズ情報および消しゴム93のサイズ情報を記憶している。
図23を参照して、本技術の第3の実施形態に係る電子下敷体100の動作の一例を説明する。ステップS21~S23、S28の処理(図20参照)はそれぞれ、第2の実施形態におけるステップS11~S13、S16の処理と同様であるので説明を省略し、ステップS24~S27の処理について説明する。
一方、ステップS26にて文字などが消されていないと判断した場合には、制御装置71は、処理をステップS23に戻す。
第3の実施形態では、電子下敷体100が、筆記具91による筆記と消しゴムによる消去とを区別して、筆跡情報および消去情報として記憶装置74に記憶することができる。
[4.1 電子下敷体の構成]
図24は、本技術の第4の実施形態に係る電子下敷体100の外観の一例を示す斜視図である。図24Aに示すように、電子下敷体100は、クリップボード型の電子下敷体であり、紙90を配置する面100mの一端には、バネ式などのクリップ103が設けられている。このクリップ103により、紙90が面100mに押さえ付けられて固定される。これ以外のことは、第1~第3の実施形態のいずれかと同様である。なお、筆記具91とクリップ103とでは、圧力変化が時間的および空間的に異なるので、制御装置71は、両者を区別することができる。
第4の実施形態では、電子下敷体100は、クリップ103により紙90を面100mに押し付けるので、圧力分布から紙90が載せられていること判別することが容易になる。
(変形例1)
第4の実施形態では、クリップ103により紙90を電子下敷体100の面100mに押さえ付ける構成を例として説明したが、紙90を電子下敷体100の面100mに押さえ付ける構成はこれに限定されるものではない。
クリップ103または固定部104が面100mに設けられている場合には、以下のようにして紙90が面100mに載せられていることを検出するようにしてもよい。すなわち、制御装置71が、電子下敷体100の面100mを仮想的に複数の領域に分割し、そのうちのクリップ103または固定部104を含む領域のみをスキャンして、この領域の圧力分布のみを取得する。そして、この圧力分布に基づき、紙90が面100mに載せられていることを検出する。
[5.1 概要]
第5の実施形態では、紙90の縁および凹凸などに起因する圧力情報を利用して、電子下敷体100の面100mの基準位置からの紙90の位置ずれ、およびその時間的変位を検出し、これらの検出情報に基づき、用紙ずれにより発生した筆跡情報のずれを修正する。
制御装置71は、所定周期でセンサ1にて取得された面100mの圧力分布に基づき、筆跡情報取得時の各時刻において、面100mにおける紙90の配置位置を検出する。そして、検出した配置位置に基づき、紙90の正規の配置位置からの紙90の配置ずれにより発生した各時刻の筆跡情報のずれを補正する。
第5の実施形態では、電子下敷体100の面100mにおける紙90の位置ずれを、センサ1にて取得される圧力情報のみで検出できる。したがって、紙90の位置ずれ検出のための構成を新たに設ける必要がないため、コストの上昇を招くことなく、紙90の位置ずれ検出が可能となる。
[6.1 紙の構成]
図26A、図26Bに示すように、紙90は、所定の記入フォームを有する用紙であり、表面(第1の面)90mおよび裏面(第2の面)90nを有する。用紙の具体例としては、病院にて初診患者が記入する問診票、病院にて医師が記入するカルテ、住宅のモデルルームなどで用いられる来場者アンケートフォームやリフォーム見積もり依頼フォームなどが挙げられる。表面90mには、図26Aに示すように、所定フォームの記入欄が設けられている。一方、裏面90nには、図26Bに示すように、凹凸90aが設けられている。この凹凸90aには、紙90の記入フォームを識別するための識別情報が記録されている。凹凸90aは、紙90の記入フォームの種類により異なっている。
図27は、記入フォームの記入欄の一例を示す概略図である。図27に示すように、所定の記入フォームを有する紙90は、例えば、複数の記入欄(1)~(10)を有している。記入欄(1)~(9)に記入された文字、数字およびマークなどが、電子下敷体100が有するデータベースに記憶される。
凹凸90aの配置位置は、センサ1が凹凸90aの有無を検出し易い位置であることが好ましい。このような位置としては、クリップで挟まれる位置、手で押さえたり指でつまんだりする可能性が高い位置(例えば紙90の角部や辺部など)などが好ましい。クリップで挟まれる位置に凹凸90aを設けた場合には、クリップの挟み力を利用して、凹凸を面100mに押さえ付けることができる。手で押さえたり指でつまんだりする可能性が高い位置に凹凸90aを設けた場合には、手で押さえたり指でつまんだりするときに、凹凸90aが面100mに押さえ付けられる。
凹凸90aの形成方法としては、例えば、紙90の製造工程において、紙自体の厚みを変えて裏面90nに凹凸90aを形成する方法、凹凸を有する金属部材など用いてエンボス加工により紙90の裏面90nに凹凸90aを形成する方法(以下「エンボス加工法」という。)、紙90にシールなどを貼り付けて裏面90nの一部に突出させて凹凸90aを形成する方法(以下「シール貼合法」という。)などが挙げられる。通常の印刷機でフォームを印刷した紙90に対して、識別情報を簡単かつ安価に加える場合には、これらの方法のうちでも、エンボス加工法およびシール貼合法が好ましい。
識別情報は、記入フォーム毎に異なるものが付与される。例えば、記入フォームとしてフォームA、Bの2種のフォームがある場合には、これらのフォームA、Bに個別の識別情報が付与される。識別情報は、例えば、用紙識別IDまたは用紙識別図形である。
記憶装置74は、圧力分布(筆跡情報)と識別情報とを関連付けて記憶するデータベースを有する。具体的には、記憶装置74は、記入フォーム情報テーブルと、筆跡情報テーブルと、記入欄情報テーブルとを有する。
図30を参照して、本技術の第6の実施形態に係る電子下敷体100の動作の一例について説明する。まず、ステップS31において、制御装置71が、センサ1から所定周期で面100mの圧力分布を取得する。次に、ステップS32において、制御装置71が、ステップS31にて取得した圧力分布に基づき、面100mに紙90が載せされているか否かを判断する。
第6の実施形態では、紙90の裏面90nには、識別情報が記録された凹凸90aが設けられている。この紙90を電子下敷体100の面100mに載せると、電子下敷体100は、凹凸90aの形状が反映された圧力分布から識別情報(用紙識別IDまたは用紙識別図形)を抽出する。そして、抽出した識別情報と筆跡情報(圧力分布)とを関連付けてデータベースに記憶する。このように、識別情報と筆跡情報とを関連付けて記憶することで、用紙フォームのどのような属性の欄にどのような記入情報が書き込まれたかを判別し活用することができる。
住宅のモデルルームで、来場者アンケートフォームとリフォーム見積もり依頼フォームとを区別して、記入と同時にデジタル化して共有した上で接客する。
病院において、来院患者の初診表記入と医師のカルテ記入とに同一のシステムを使っても、両方の記入内容を区別して、システムに渡すことができる。
アンケート用紙などの紙90の表面90mと裏面90nとで異なる形状の凹凸90aを設けることで、裏面90nの使用を検出することができる。
(変形例1)
凹凸90aの有無により、紙90が白紙および所定の記入用紙のいずれであるかを判別するようにしてもよい。具体的には、白紙である紙90の裏面90nには凹凸90aを設けず、所定の記入用紙である紙90の裏面90nには凹凸90aを設ける。制御装置71が、センサ1から取得された圧力分布に基づき、面100mに載せられた紙90の裏面に凹凸90aがあるか否かを判断する。
上述の実施形態では、電子下敷体100が、圧力分布データに基づき、面100mに配置された1枚の紙90の記入用紙フォームを判別する場合を例として説明したが、本技術はこの例に限定されるものではない。すなわち、電子下敷体100が、圧力分布データに基づき、面100mに配置された複数枚それぞれの記入用紙フォームを判別するようにしてもよい。
[7.1 概要]
第7の実施形態では、ユーザが筆記具91により面100m上の紙90に筆記すると、それに対応した効果音(例えば筆記音)を電子下敷体100が出力する。また、筆記具91による筆記と、消しゴム93による消去とで別の効果音を電子下敷体100が出力するようにしてもよい。ここでは、電子下敷体100が効果音を出力する例について説明するが、電子下敷体100の周辺機器または親機から効果音を出力するようにしてもよい。
制御装置71は、面100m上の紙90に対する、筆記具91による筆記を検出すると、スピーカ75を介して効果音を出力する。制御装置71は、面100mの圧力分布に基づき、筆記具91による筆記と、消しゴム93による消去とを区別し、両者で異なる効果音を出力するよういしてもよい。なお、筆記具91による筆記と、消しゴム93による消去とを区別する方法としては、第1の実施形態にて説明した方法を用いることができる。また、筆記具91が止まっている場合と動いている場合とで、異なる効果音を出力するようにしてもよい。
第7の実施形態では、筆記具91の筆圧などに応じて適切なフィードバック用効果音が出力されるので、ユーザが電子下敷体100を適切に操作できる。したがって、筆跡の誤判定や製品故障などを低減できる。
[8.1 電子下敷体のモード]
(モード)
図31に示すように、第8の実施形態に係る電子下敷体100は、モードa、b、cの3つのモードを備える。モードaは、一般的な筆記具91を用いて書かれた文字などを筆跡情報として取り込むモードである。モードbは、キーボードまたはキーパッドとして動作するモードである。モードcは、タッチパッドとして動作するモードである。
図32を参照して、本技術の第8の実施形態に係る電子下敷体100のモード遷移動作の一例を説明する。まず、ステップS41において、制御装置71が、センサ1から所定周期で面100mの圧力分布を取得する。次に、制御装置71は、ステップS41にて取得した圧力分布から、紙90またはパッド95が載せられているか否かを判断する。ステップS42にて紙90またはパッド95が載せられていると判断した場合には、制御装置71は、処理をステップS44に進める。一方、ステップS42にて紙90またはパッド95が載せられていないと判断した場合には、制御装置71は、動作モードをモードcに設定する。
第8の実施形態では、紙90が面100mにある状態では、電子下敷体100を筆跡情報取得の装置として使用できるのに対して、紙90が面100mにない状態でも、電子下敷体100をタッチ操作などの圧力検出可能な電子機器として使用できる。
(変形例1)
第8の実施形態では、紙90およびパッド95の両方の裏面に凹凸を設け、その凹凸に記憶された識別情報に基づき、紙90およびパッド95を識別する例について説明したが、本技術はこの例に限定されるものではない。例えば、紙90およびパッド95の一方の裏面に凹凸を設け、凹凸の有無により紙90およびパッド95を識別するようにしてもよい。
第8の実施形態では、電子下敷体100が、紙90とパッド95とを判別する例について説明したが、電子下敷体100が、これらの判別に加えて、パッドの種類もさらに判別し、パッドの種類に応じた入力操作が可能になるようにしてもよい。以下、この場合の構成の一例について説明する。
[9.1 電子下敷体の構成]
図33Aは、本技術の第9の実施形態に係る電子下敷体の外観の一例を示す斜視図である。図33Bは、図33に示したA-A線に沿った断面図である。図33Aおよび図33Bに示すように、第9の実施形態に係る電子下敷体100は、紙90が載せられる面100mに表示装置105を備える。第1の外装材2aは開口部105aを有し、この開口部105aを介して表示装置105の表示面が露出している。
図35に示すように、電子下敷体100は、モードA、B、Cの3つのモードを備えてる。モードA、Bはそれぞれ、第8の実施形態におけるモードa、bと同様である。モードCは、タッチパネルとして動作するモードである。なお、モードCにおいて、所定時間以上、入力操作がなされない場合には、モードDに移行するようにしてもよい。モードDとしては、デジタイザとして機能するモード、電子下敷体100の設定変更を行うモード、スクリーンセーバなどの所定の動画などを表示するモード、所定の音楽や音声などを出力するモード、またはスリープモードなどであってもよい。
[10.1 筆跡読み取りシステムの構成]
図36は、本技術の第10の実施形態に係る筆跡読み取りシステムの構成の一例を示す概略図である。図36に示すように、筆跡読み取りシステムは、電子下敷体100と親機300とを備える。電子下敷体100と親機300とは、有線または無線で情報を受送信する。例えば、電子下敷体100は、面100m上の紙90に筆記されると、その筆跡情報を読み取り、有線または無線で親機300に供給する。親機300は、電子下敷体100から供給された筆跡情報を記憶する。
電子下敷体100は、周辺機器型の電子下敷体である。電子下敷体100は、上述の第1の実施形態において、図1に示したスロット102を省略した構成を有している。電子下敷体100は、上述の第1の実施形態において、図11に示した記憶装置74をさらに省略した構成を有していてもよい。
図37は、親機300の構成の一例を示すブロック図である。親機300は、PCなどの汎用コンピュータ、または筆跡情報を記憶および処理する専用装置である。図37に示すように、親機300において、バス310に対してCPU301、ROM(Read Only Memory)302、RAM(Random Access Memory)303が接続される。ROM302には、例えば親機300を起動させるための初期プログラムが予め記憶される。RAM303は、CPU301のワークメモリとして用いられる。
