Abstract

A handwriting-simulating system comprises a ballpoint pen (2), guiding means for moving the ballpoint pen (2) in three spatial dimensions, a unit for storing handwritten elements and their correspondence to specific typographic characters. A processor in the system selects typographic characters in a text file and controls the guiding means according to the stroke required to write each handwritten element associated with a selected typographic character. An interface with a touch screen (4) makes it possible to record a handwritten element stroke and store it in a storage unit together with its correspondence to a typographic character.

Description

BOLÍGRAFO SIMULADOR DE CALIGRAFÍA DESCRIPCIÓN  Calligraphy Simulator Pen Description

Campo técnico de la invención Technical Field of the Invention

La invención está relacionada con aparatos de escritura, más específicamente se refiere a un mecanismo que utiliza un bolígrafo para escribir de forma automática utilizando la caligrafía de la persona. The invention is related to writing devices, more specifically it relates to a mechanism that uses a pen to write automatically using the calligraphy of the person.

Antecedentes de la invención Background of the invention

Los bolígrafos son fundamentales en todas nuestras actividades diarias en las que se presenta la necesidad de escribir, firmar o dibujar. Pens are essential in all our daily activities in which the need to write, sign or draw is presented.

Las plumas de aves con tinta fueron de los primeros dispositivos que se utilizaron para confeccionar manuscritos y, más tarde, se desarrollaron distintos tipos y formas de utensilios para escribir. Bird feathers with ink were the first devices that were used to make manuscripts and, later, different types and forms of writing utensils were developed.

Parecidos a los lápices se encuentran los bolígrafos con puntas y formas de diferentes colores, diseños y tamaños que utilizamos con frecuencia y es el utensilio principal para manuscribir y más común en todo el mundo. Similar to pencils are the pens with tips and shapes of different colors, designs and sizes that we use frequently and is the main tool for handwriting and most common worldwide.

Actualmente existen diversos usos para un bolígrafo multifuncional que combinan la escritura con otras tecnologías como proyector, traducción, grabación, fotografía, periféricos, entre muchas otras aplicaciones que surgen cada día. There are currently several uses for a multifunctional pen that combine writing with other technologies such as projector, translation, recording, photography, peripherals, among many other applications that arise every day.

Los dispositivos actuales como las impresoras sustituyen a los bolígrafos pero usan tipografías establecidas como Arial, Courier, Times New Romans, etc. que son impersonales. Current devices such as printers replace pens but use established typefaces such as Arial, Courier, Times New Romans, etc. They are impersonal.

The pen works coupled to a mobile support and other devices and allows you to write independently and automatically by voice dictation, simulating the calligraphy of the person.

Solamente con escribir sobre una pantalla táctil los caracteres del abecedario, y acaso otros caracteres ya sean alfanuméricos o matemáticos, etc., el sistema registra el estilo de escritura de la persona (los trazos asociados a cada carácter) en una unidad de almacenamiento o base de datos y, luego, es capaz de redactar un texto, simulando la forma de escribir de la persona, tras trascribir lo dictado en voz por dicha persona. Only by writing on the touch screen the characters of the alphabet, and perhaps other characters, whether alphanumeric or mathematical, etc., the system records the writing style of the person (the strokes associated with each character) in a storage unit or base of data and, then, is able to write a text, simulating the way of writing of the person, after transcribing what was dictated in voice by that person.

Este sistema puede también implementar un traductor de idiomas de manera tal que, siguiendo el dictado por voz de una persona en un idioma, redacte el texto en otro idioma, previamente escogido por comando, simulando la caligrafía de la persona. This system can also implement a language translator in such a way that, following the voice dictation of a person in one language, write the text in another language, previously chosen by command, simulating the calligraphy of the person.
