Data inputting devices
First Claim
1. A data input device for displaying on a display screen input handwritten data which is inputted by a user with a pen on the display screen, comprising:
- a tablet-type data generator device provided on said display screen for generating coordinate data in accordance with a locus of input handwritten data;
an input image display device for displaying a locus of an image representing the handwritten data on said display screen on the basis of the coordinate data output from said coordinate data generator device;
a detecting device for detecting whether coordinate data contained in a predetermined area provided at a right hand end position of the display screen is obtained while the handwritten data is being input;
a determining device for determining when the pen is detached from said display screen and hence when input of the handwritten data is interrupted; and
a scrolling device, responsive to said determining device determining that the pen is detached from said display screen, for scrolling leftward the display screen on which the displayed locus of the handwritten data is displayed so that a next handwritten data may be input, on the condition that said detecting device has detected that coordinate data contained in a predetermined area provided at a right-hand end position of the display screen is obtained.

Abstract
When data is keyed in by operating a keyboard K displayed in a touch panel input area 14a, its character code is stored in a real data memory 46b of a RAM 23 and data on its attribute, pointer and data length is stored as management data. When handwritten data is input by manipulating a handwriting board P displayed in the input area 14a, coordinate data corresponding to the locus of the input handwritten data is stored in the real data memory, and data on its attribute, pointer and data length is stored as management data. The keyed-in data including the character code and the handwritten data including image data are both displayed in an output area 14b on the basis of the real data and its management data. Data edition including data erasure can be dealt with in a unified manner.
