Abstract

The information display apparatus is characterized by storing at least plural pieces of loom information, by comprising: data control means capable of outputting the stored loom information; display means for displaying in a screen the loom information outputted from data control means; and distinction means for distinguishing a kind of a person engaged in weaving and outputting a distinction result in the data control means, and by presetting in the data control means the item for display corresponding to the distinction result, thereby outputting the loom information relative to the item for display corresponding to the distinction result from the data control means to the display means.

Claims

1. An information display apparatus of a loom, comprising:

data control means storing at least a plurality of pieces of loom information and capable of outputting the stored loom information;

display means for displaying in a screen the loom information to be outputted from said data control means; and

distinction means for distinguishing a kind of a person engaged in weaving and outputting a distinction result to said data control means;

wherein in said data control means an item for display corresponding to said distinction result is preset; and

wherein said data control means outputs the loom information relative to the item for display corresponding to said distinction result to said display means.

2. The information display apparatus as described in claim 1, wherein said distinction means includes a detected element which a person engaged in weaving carries and which represents a kind of the carrier, and a distinction portion for distinguishing the detected element.

3. The information display apparatus as described in claim 2, wherein said detected element includes a portable transmitter for generating a signal representing a kind of a carrier, and wherein said distinction portion includes a receiving circuit, and a discrimination circuit for discriminating the kind of said carrier on the basis of a received signal of said receiving circuit.

4. The information display apparatus as described in claim 2 or 3, wherein a plurality of said detected elements are prepared according to a kind of a person engaged in weaving, and wherein said distinction portion distinguishes the kind of the detected elements.

5. The information display apparatus as described in claim 1, wherein said distinction means includes a sensor for detecting physical features of said person engaged in weaving, and a distinction circuit for distinguishing the kind of said person engaged in weaving from a group of registered data which are previously registered.

6. An information display apparatus of a loom, comprising:

data control means storing at least plural pieces of loom information and capable of outputting the stored loom information;

display means for displaying in a screen the loom information to be outputted from said data control means;

transmission means, in which at least one of items for display is stored, for transmitting the item for display and provided for a person engaged in weaving to carry; and

discrimination means for discriminating the item for display upon receipt of a transmission signal from said transmission means;

wherein said data control means outputs the loom information relative to an item for display corresponding to a result of discrimination by said discriminating means.

7. The information display apparatus as described in claim 6, wherein a plurality of items of information are stored in said transmission means, wherein said transmission means is capable of transmitting selectively any of the plurality of items for display, and wherein said discriminating means discriminates the selected item for display selected on the basis of said transmission signal.
