20110285733
This application claims the priority benefit of Taiwan application serial no. 099116160, filed on May 20, 2010. The entirety of the above-mentioned patent application is incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this specification.
1. Technical Field
The present invention relates to a sticky note, and more particularly to a sticky note implemented by an electric-paper.
2. Description of the Related Art
Sticky note is a convenient and practical production which is implemented by a small paper. A special back-adhensive material having proper viscous is coated on one side of the sticky note. Thus, when the sticky note is torn from a surface, no resident back-adhensive is on the surface. Therefore, user can use the sticky note to transmit some massage or be a memo. The sticky note is already became a indispensable daily thing of general people in their day life.
Although the prior sticky note is so convenient, the prior sticky note cannot be used repeatedly. In another word, when the items written on the sticky are all completed, or became worthless, the used sticky note is discarded. Therefore, the prior sticky note causes waste of resources, and huge impacts on the environment greatly.
In addition, people must need hand-writing mater in prior sticky note. However, in nowadays information society, when user wants recording some massages original saved in computer or mobile phone on prior sticky note, user needs hand-writing the massages on the prior sticky note.
Therefore, the present invention provides a digital sticky note for user to employ repeatedly so as to prevent the waste of resource.
In addition, the present invention further provides a digital memo system which can record message saved in variation information production on sticky note without hand-writing.
The present invention provides a digital sticky note comprising an electric paper displayer having a substrate. In addition, a display is configured on the substrate for showing an image picture without power. Further, a wireless receiver module, a process unit and a display circuit are also configured on the substrate. Wherein, the wireless receiver module receives a memo information through a wireless transmission interface, and transmits the memo information to the processor unit. Therefore, the processor unit controls the display circuit to show the memo information on the display array according to the obtained memo information.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the digital sticky note further comprises a wire coil set configured on the substrate and on a signal transmission path between the wireless receiver module and the processor unit. When the wireless receiver module receives the memo information, the wire coil set generates sensing current for the electric paper displayer to work.
In another embodiment, a battery is configured in the digital sticky note for supplying the power for the electric paper displayer to work.
In another view point, the present invention provides a digital memo system comprising a electric apparatus and displayer. Wherein, the electric apparatus generates a memo information. In addition, the displayer links with the electric apparatus for receiving the memo information through a wireless transmission interface, and showing the memo information without power.
In some embodiments the electric apparatus is one of a desktop computer, a portable computer, and a mobile apparatus.
Since the present invention employs the electric paper displayer to show the memo information, the sticky note can be used repeatedly, and show the memo information without hand-writing.
Other objectives, features and advantages of the present invention will be further understood from the further technological features disclosed by the embodiments of the present invention wherein there are shown and described preferred embodiments of this invention, simply by way of illustration of modes best suited to carry out the invention.
These and other features and advantages of the various embodiments disclosed herein will be better understood with respect to the following description and drawings, in which like numbers refer to like parts throughout, and in which:
It is to be understood that other embodiment may be utilized and structural changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology used herein are for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting. The use of “including,” “comprising,” or “having” and variations thereof herein is meant to encompass the items listed thereafter and equivalents thereof as well as additional items. Unless limited otherwise, the terms “connected,” “coupled,” and “mounted,” and variations thereof herein are used broadly and encompass direct and indirect connections, couplings, and mountings.
In other embodiments, some designs can displace the back-adhensive material for the digital sticky note 104 for attaching on a surface repeatedly. For example, a magnet can be used to displace the back-adhensive material. In addition, a clip structure also can displace the back-adhensive material, so that the digital sticky note 104 can clip on an object.
Referring to
In addition, a wireless receiver module 204, a processor unit 206 and a display circuit 208 are also configured on the substrate 200. The wireless receiver module 204, such an infrared receiver module or blue tooth receiver module, is linked with the electric apparatus 102 through wireless 106 as showing in
Referring to
Since the display array 202 uses the electric ink technology, the display array 202 show the image picture without power. In other word, the digital sticky note 104 of the embodiment need power supply, only in a situation that the digital sticky 104 receives the memo information Memo output by the electric apparatus 102 so as to change original image picture. Therefore, in the embodiment, a wire coil set is configured on the substrate, and configured on a signal transmission path between the wireless receiver module 204 and processor unit 206.
In this case, when the memo information Memo is sent to the wireless receiver module 204, an electromagnetic wave is generated. Meanwhile, the wire coil set 210 senses the electromagnetic wave and generates a sense current. So that, the sense current is used to supply power to the elements of digital sticky note 104 for changing the image picture showed by the display array 202. After upgrading the image picture of the display array 202, the electric apparatus 102 stops sending the memo information Memo to the sticky note 104, so that electromagnetic wave is broke. The wire coil set 210 also stops generating the sensing current because the electromagnetic wave is broke. However, the display array 202 still shows the original image picture.
Due to the present invention uses the electric paper display to be the digital sticky note, the digital sticky note can be employed repeatedly to prevent the waste of resource. In addition, the present invention can receive the memo information from the electric apparatus, so that the user doesn't hand-write memo item.
The above description is given by way of example, and not limitation. Given the above disclosure, one skilled in the art could devise variations that are within the scope and spirit of the invention disclosed herein, including configurations ways of the recessed portions and materials and/or designs of the attaching structures. Further, the various features of the embodiments disclosed herein can be used alone, or in varying combinations with each other and are not intended to be limited to the specific combination described herein. Thus, the scope of the claims is not to be limited by the illustrated embodiments.
