ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a recording apparatus, and particularly to a radio wave receiving and recording apparatus capable of recording information transmitted through radio.
2. Related Background Art
In telephone communication using radio, information is transmitted by voice or character display.
Of the conventional telephone communications using radio as described above, in the telephone communication wherein information is transmitted by voice, the recognition of the information by the sense of sight cannot be effected and therefore, when an aurally handicapped person utilizes such telephone communication, there is the problem that such a person cannot recognize the transmitted information.
Also, in the telephone communication wherein information is transmitted by character display, display is effected at a speed based on a voice output and therefore, there occurs a case where before the information displayed is recognized, the next information is displayed, and this leads to the possibility that the information cannot be accurately recognized.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention has been made in view of the above-noted problem peculiar to the prior art, and has as its object to provide a recording apparatus which can record information transmitted through radio in telephone communications or the like using radio.
To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a radio wave receiving and recording apparatus for recording information transmitted by a radio wave signal on a recording medium, characterized by:
a radio wave receiving portion for receiving the radio wave signal;
converting means for converting the radio wave signal received by the radio wave receiving portion into recordable data;
a recording element portion for recording the data converted by the converting means on the recording medium;
a synchronous signal outputting portion for outputting a synchronous signal synchronized with the timing at which the data converted by the converting means is delivered to the recording element portion; and
position controlling means for changing the relative position of the recording apparatus and the recording medium on the basis of the synchronous signal outputted from the synchronous signal outputting portion.
Also, the present invention provides a radio wave receiving and recording apparatus for recording information transmitted by a radio wave signal on a recording medium, characterized by:
a radio wave receiving portion for receiving the radio wave signal;
a recognizing portion for recognizing ID information imparted to the radio wave signal received by the radio wave receiving portion, and outputting the radio wave signal only when the ID information is predetermined information;
converting means for converting the radio wave signal outputted from the recognizing portion into recordable data;
a recording element portion for recording the data converted by the converting means on the recording medium;
a synchronous signal outputting portion for outputting a synchronous signal synchronized with the timing at which the data converted by the converting means is delivered to the recording element portion; and
position controlling means for changing the relative position of the recording apparatus and the recording medium on the basis of the synchronous signal outputted from the synchronous signal outputting portion.
Also, the radio wave receiving and recording apparatus of the present invention is characterized in that the synchronous signal outputting portion outputs n (n being a natural number) synchronous signals each time the data converted by the converting means is delivered by a pixel to the recording element portion.
Also, the radio wave receiving and recording apparatus of the present invention is characterized in that the converting means has:
a voice data holding portion for demodulating the radio wave signal received by the radio wave receiving portion into voice data, and holding it;
a data converting portion for converting the voice data held in the voice data holding portion into a character code; and
an image data holding portion for converting the character code converted by the data converting portion into image data, and holding it.
Also, the radio wave receiving and recording apparatus of the present invention is characterized in that the image data holding portion delivers the held image data by one line each to the recording element portion.
Also, the radio wave receiving and recording apparatus of the present invention is characterized in that the data converting portion has the voice data and a character code corresponding to the voice data preset therein, and compares and calculates the voice data held in the voice data holding portion and the character code to thereby convert the voice data held in the voice data holding portion into the character code.
Also, the radio wave receiving and recording apparatus of the present invention is characterized in that the image data holding portion has the character code and image data corresponding to the character code preset therein, and compares and calculates the character code converted by the data converting portion and the image data to thereby convert the character code into the image data.
Also, the radio wave receiving and recording apparatus of the present invention is characterized in that it has a clock for recognizing the time when the radio wave has been received, and the recording element portion records on the recording medium the image data and the time when the image data has been received.
Also, the radio wave receiving and recording apparatus of the present invention is characterized in that the position controlling means conveys the recording medium on the basis of the synchronous signal outputted from the synchronous signal outputting portion.
Also, the radio wave receiving and recording apparatus of the present invention is characterized in that the position controlling means is a motor.
The radio wave receiving and recording apparatus of the present invention is characterized in that the radio wave signal is a radio wave signal transmitted and received by a pocket telephone preset correspondingly to the recording apparatus.
Also, the radio wave receiving and recording apparatus of the present invention is characterized in that the radio wave receiving portion, the converting means and the recording element portion are provided in a recording head detachably attachable to the recording apparatus.
The above-mentioned character code may be a word code such as word and phrase or a data code registered in the data pose.
In the present invention constructed as described above, when a radio wave signal used in the communication between pocket telephones or the like is received by the radio wave receiving portion, the radio wave signal received by the radio wave receiving portion is converted into recordable data by the converting means, and the converted data is recorded on the recording medium in the recording element portion, and a synchronous signal synchronized with the timing at which the data converted by the converting means is delivered to the recording element portion is outputted from the synchronous signal outputting portion, and the position controlling means is driven on the basis of the synchronous signal, and the relative position of the recording apparatus and the recording medium is changed.
As described above, the received radio wave signal is converted into recordable data, and the relative position of the recording apparatus and the recording medium is changed in synchronism with the recording of the converted data and therefore, information transmitted through radio is accurately recorded.
