APPARATUS FOR TRAINING HANDWRITING

摘要

An apparatus is provided for training hand writing. The apparatus comprises a processor means, input means having an array of pressure sensing elements arranged adjacent to a substantially flat surface, visual indication means (10) for indicating signals from said processor means, and hand held means for writing on said surface and thereby applying pressure on the sensing elements touched by the hand held means. The input means is adapted to provide input signals from said touched sensing elements to the processor means which thereby provides indication signals corresponding to said input signals for visually indicating the writing on said indication means. The apparatus also comprises memory means and program means adapted to store in said memory means signals corresponding to strokes or sections of strokes when writing with said hand held means on said surface, and to selectively control said processor means to retrieve the stored signals and to provide the retrieved signals to the indication means for indicating the strokes in the same order of writing. The program means may include a zone setting arrangement for setting a teacher zone (12) and a student zone (14), and control buttons (22 to 30) on the indication means for respectively clearing writing on the indication means (10), replaying the writing, and setting parameters.
