Electronic book

Technical field

This practical model relates to the field of electronic devices for personal use for reading visual information.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

At the technical level, various models of electronic interactive books are widely known, designed to implement various processes in addition to the direct reading function. More precisely, with the ability to exchange information with other users, receive information from the Internet, use various applications, etc.

A particular electronic book (known from patent RU 2136053 C1, 1999/08/27, G09 B 5/00) has a data medium, a data input device, and includes two flat hinged covers (similar to a "briefcase" style case) with a video screen placed on the inside of both covers.

The disadvantage of this electronic book is that it can only display information on the data medium, since the control devices are not designed for this subject. That is, the data medium containing the information is viewable on two screens, inserted into the data input device, and changing the data medium is necessary to change the information.

A similar solution is known from patent RU 2180454 C1, 2002/03/10, G09 B 5/00, in which the electronic book comprises an information input block and a display unit with two liquid crystal displays located inside the hinge block covers. This device comprises a processor, an operating memory device, a stationary member device, and a command input unit connected via a bus. The information input unit is constructed in the form of a CD reader, while the command input unit comprises at least two "forward" and "back" control buttons located below the screen on the inside of the block covers.

An electronic book has been registered in the utility model certificate 6081 Ul, 16/02/1998, G09 F 9/35. The device comprises a data media reading block in which the first information input of the book is input; an information receiving block in which the second information input of the book is input. The outputs of the data medium read blocks and the information receive block are connected to the read control block data bus, the outputs of which are connected to the read block.

This book is equipped with a radio broadcasting device whose input-output is the third information input of the book. The output is connected to a control block data bus for playback when the information receiving block is designed to exchange bilateral information with a universal telecommunications network.

The advantage of this electronic book is its complexity.

There are well-known ebooks designed generally as laptops containing information input / output devices, memory with different volume levels, different types of displays, control processor, control button (keyboard) and power supply with different programs for application depending on user requirements (US 5454078 A, May 31, 1994, GB 21949554 A, August 06, 1988, GB 2198286 A, 08/06/1988, 12/06/85; WO 00 / 13159A, 09/03/2000).

The disadvantages of these devices are their complexity regarding multifunctionality. Any computer, like all standard similar devices, will not work without a keyboard designed for information input.

More accessible in nature and potential technical results is the electronic book described in the certificate (RU 95155 Ul, 10.06.2010, G09 B5 / 00). This device includes a box with two movable attached housings, with the first display on the inside of one of them.

Touch sensitive screens are designed to represent a control device. A Monitors A, B are equipped with this input device. The information input and control of the device may be performed by means of a virtual keyboard or by means of a tip, on each of the monitors A, B. The handwriting input is performed on the monitor of the first part A by the tip. For convenient use of handwriting, the monitor is equipped with a capacitive module control interface D that allows the capacitive module C to be turned off during the stylus writing process. This ensures that the screen does not respond to the touch of your hand. This is particularly important for entering large text manually, requiring the user's free position on the screen as you type. To enter information in block letters, using the D module for capacitive module control allows you to put the capacitive module C into active state and provide the virtual keyboard function on the first display A.

The presence of the control device 4 in each of the parts and the acceleration probe 6 allows the monitor B to be oriented to the necessary position during the active mode of the capacitive module C. This makes it possible to use the ergonomic conditions of the second monitor B with virtual keyboard and ebook.

The second touch monitor B allows to provide input of multimedia information and control at the same time using the fingers and the tip. It also allows you to make full use of the multitouch function while working with interactive types of information.
