JPH1063759A - Url input device for internet - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To dissolve a complicated operation procedure and to remarkably reduce the time and labor, by directly reading as character and symbol data by tracing a sheet surface where an address constructed by the combination of symbols and alphanumerics is printed. SOLUTION: A scanner 10 directly traces the individual specifying address (URL) 9 of the internet and an electronic mail address constructed by alphanumerics and symbols, etc., printed on the sheet surface by a read part 8. Then, read data are converted to digital signals and decoded and the address is displayed on a liquid crystal screen 6. Then, by turning the transmission part 4 of the scanner 10 to the infrared ray port of a computer and pressing a data transfer button 7, the read address data are automatically transferred to the computer. In such a manner, the respective URLs 9 are easily inputted to the computer.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an infinite number of home pages transmitted on the Internet identified by URLs.
The present invention relates to a procedure for inputting an address such as a message or an e-mail to a computer.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when accessing a desired home page, an electronic mail address, or the like on the Internet, generally, a URL composed of a list of symbols and alphanumeric characters is entered.
He relied on the input from the board.

[0003]

However, in the address input method by keyboard operation, complicated and complicated operations and a variety of symbols and alphanumeric characters constituting the address inevitably cause many input errors and are troublesome. Yes, and as the Internet expands, its components are becoming more and more complex. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and aims to eliminate the complicated operation procedure, and to realize a great improvement in time and labor reduction.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, a URL input and an e-mail address input for identifying the other party on the Internet are performed by a conventional keyboard operation. In general, a digital scanner device that can directly read character or symbol data by tracing an address constructed with a combination of symbols and alphanumeric characters or a sheet surface on which the data is printed is generally used. And an address data reading / reading device which can transfer the signal data to the computer.

[0005]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be briefly described with reference to the accompanying drawings. An Internet URL 9 or an electronic mail address constructed by alphanumeric symbols printed on a sheet surface will be described. The reading data is converted into a digital signal by directly tracing the upper portion with the reading section 8, and the liquid crystal screen 6 is read.
There is a scanner 10 for displaying the decoded address.

Next, the transmission unit 4 of the scanner 10 is directed to the infrared port 2 of the computer 1, and the address data automatically read by pressing the data transfer button 7 is transmitted to the computer. , And each URL 9 can be easily input to the computer-1.

In this embodiment, the scanner 10 and the computer
Although the data transfer to and from 1 is wireless, the signals may be transmitted by connecting to each other with a connector.
May be coded to improve the reading accuracy.

[0008]

As described above, according to the present invention, the complicated operation of hitting input by a conventional keyboard is released,
By tracing the RL with a scanner, anyone can quickly and surely input an address to a computer.
