Abstract
Abstract Disclosed herein is an information processing apparatus capable of storing therein modifier information such as an underline, a correction of contents, etc. with respect to fixed and stored information. A microcomputer effects processing corresponding to an input and outputs information indicative of the result of processing therefrom. An optical magnetic recording and reproducing device records the information indicative of the result of this processing, which has been outputted from the microcomputer, on a read/write area of a hybrid disc.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 17
Claim 1
Independent Claim
78 words
An information processing apparatus comprising: inputting means for inputting of information from an operator by handwriting; processing means for effecting processing on the handwritten information input by the operator and for outputting holograph information corresponding to the handwritten information; and recording and reproducing means for recording information on and reproducing the information from a disc recording medium having a read-only area with predetermined information recorded thereon in advance and a read/write area for storing therein the holograph information.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
78 words
An information processing apparatus comprising: inputting means for inputting of information from an operator by handwriting; processing means for effecting processing on the handwritten information input by the operator and for outputting holograph information corresponding to the handwritten information; and recording and reproducing means for recording information on and reproducing the information from a disc recording medium having a read-only area with predetermined information recorded thereon in advance and a read/write area for storing therein the holograph information.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
An information processing apparatus as claimed in claim 1, further comprising displaying means for displaying the holograph information.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
17 words
An information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the inputting means comprises a pressure sensitive tablet.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
37 words
An information recording apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the recording and reproducing means reproduces information from the read-only area of the disc recording medium by using a diffraction phenomenon of light rejected from the read-only area.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
154 words
An information processing apparatus for use with a hybrid disc having a read-only area and a read/write area, the information processing apparatus comprising: a processing unit; a recording and reproducing unit for reproducing read-only data from the read-only area of the disc and for sending the read-only data to the processing unit; a display for receiving at least the read-only data from the processing unit and for displaying at least the read-only data; and an input means for inputting of coordinate data from a user by handwriting and for sending the coordinate data to the processing unit; wherein the processing unit has means for processing the coordinate data to generate modifier data which represents a holograph corresponding to the coordinate data, the processing unit sends the modifier data to the recording and reproducing unit, and the recording and reproducing means has means for writing the modifier information to the read/write area of the disc.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
154 words
