In this specification, the names of the same components are suffixed with "first", "second", etc. to clarify the components.
Background Art
[0002] As a first prior art, as shown in FIG. 20, a unit page 1 is defined by a rectangular sheet of a predetermined size, and the unit pages are continuously arranged in a predetermined direction by alternately forming mountain folds 2 and valley folds 3, and between a front cover and a back cover, there is provided a ledger body with folded accounting paper 4, and vertical ruled lines 6 are provided on a square frame 5 on one side of the accounting paper 4 to form a vertically written paper surface 7, and horizontal ruled lines 8 are provided on the other side to form a horizontally written paper surface 9, so that a structure that can be used for both vertical and horizontal writing is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). As a second prior art, a horizontally long and long Japanese paper is repeatedly folded in a mountain fold and a valley fold at regular intervals to form a laminate, and there are known papers composed of a family record leaf constituting an ancestor record column, a plurality of individual leaves constituting a deceased person record column within one leaf, and a plurality of annual year tables formed by a table with a vertical axis of the Western calendar and Japanese calendar columns and a horizontal axis of personal name columns (see, for example, Patent Document 2). As a third prior art, there is known writing paper in which a horizontally long and long paper is repeatedly folded in a mountain fold and a valley fold at regular intervals to form a laminate, and a large number of horizontal ruled lines at intervals of 10 mm to 20 mm and one vertical ruled line are printed (see, for example, Patent Document 3).

Patent Document 1
Patent Document 2
[0004] In the first prior art, the record sheet is folded in an accordion-like manner, and horizontal lines 8 or vertical lines 6 are displayed on each unit page 1 of the record sheet at predetermined intervals. When this sheet is used on a unit page-by-unit basis, text and diagrams can be written using the horizontal lines 8 or vertical lines 6 as a guide. However, when the sheet is unfolded and used in its valley fold 3, or / or mountain fold 2 state, multiple horizontal lines 8 or vertical lines 6 are displayed within the square frame 5 for each adjacent unit page 1. As a result, ideas for solving problems that have been conceived will be written in the blank spaces 10 between appropriate horizontal lines 8 or vertical lines 6. For example, they will be written as shown in Figure (B). In this case, the number of blank spaces 10 used will differ depending on the amount of text and diagrams written, and the position of each writing area will differ. In this case, it will be impossible to check the information uniformly due to the relative positions of the writing areas, which may cause distress and frustration for the user and hinder the smooth brainstorming process. Furthermore, when drawing lines to link related ideas, the positions of the lines will differ, raising concerns that it will be difficult to check them. In the second conventional technology, the paper can be used in an unfolded state with valley folds and mountain folds extended. However, because writing is required in multiple fields represented within a square frame on each page, users may experience more pain and distress than in the first conventional technology, potentially hindering smooth brainstorming. In the third prior art, multiple identical horizontal lines and one vertical line are displayed on each page. Therefore, the same concerns as in the first prior art exist.

Used in brainstorming This is writing paper. [Effects of the Invention]
[0018] In the first invention, a unit page is defined by a rectangular sheet of a predetermined size, and since mountain folds and valley folds are alternately formed for each unit page, three or more unit pages are arranged in a predetermined direction, so that it can be used as writing paper by stacking the unit pages. Furthermore, by unfolding the mountain folds and valley folds, it can be used as writing paper with two or more pages unfolded in the direction of continuity of the unit pages. On the aforementioned unit page, a plurality of frames of the same shape are arranged in the predetermined direction with a predetermined first interval, and the interval between adjacent frames shown on the preceding and succeeding unit pages is displayed to be the same as the first interval when the preceding and succeeding unit pages are unfolded. By writing ideas and sketches within the frames, these ideas and sketches are aligned in the continuous direction of the unit page. Furthermore, the frames on the unit page are formed at a first interval in a predetermined direction. In addition, the spacing between adjacent frames on the preceding and succeeding unit pages of a continuous unit page is displayed as the same as the first interval when unfolded. Therefore, when two or more unit pages are unfolded to form a single sheet, the first interval of the frames on the unit page and the spacing of the frames on adjacent unit pages in the predetermined direction are the same. As a result, ideas and sketches are aligned at the first interval in the continuous direction of the unit page. Thus, users can benefit from smooth brainstorming without experiencing pain or distress.
[0019] In the second invention, the basic configuration is the same as in the first invention, and therefore the objective of the present invention can be achieved. Furthermore, when SW is the spacing between multiple frames displayed in a predetermined direction on a unit page, the spacing between the edge of the unit page and the frame closest to that edge is SW / 2. This makes it possible to make the display on each unit page identical, which has the advantage of enabling efficient printing in industrial printing.
[0020] In the third invention, the basic configuration is the same as that of the first invention, and therefore the objective of the present invention can be achieved. Furthermore, multiple frames are arranged at a second predetermined interval perpendicular to the predetermined direction. As a result, the frames are also arranged at a second interval perpendicular to the predetermined direction, which has the advantage of allowing users to engage in smoother brainstorming without experiencing pain or distress.
[0021] The fourth invention has the same basic structure as the first invention and can therefore achieve the objectives of the present invention. Furthermore, since the unit pages are white, it has the advantage of being compatible with a wide variety of colored writing instruments.
[0022] In the fifth invention, the basic structure is the same as that of the first invention, and therefore the objective of the present invention can be achieved. Furthermore, since the unit pages are colored, there is the advantage that the ideas and schematics within the frames are easy to check.
[0023] In the sixth invention, the basic structure is the same as that of the first invention, and therefore the objective of the present invention can be achieved. Furthermore, since the spacing is colored, there is the advantage that the ideas and schematics within the frame are easier to see.
[0024] In the seventh invention, the basic configuration is the same as that of the first invention, thus achieving the objectives of the present invention. Furthermore, since the frame is rectangular, it has the advantage of allowing for a larger amount of ideas and sketches to be written within the frame. In addition, by setting the aspect ratio of the rectangular frame to the 16:9 ratio standardized in liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), it becomes possible to create ideas while viewing a frame with the same aspect ratio as the display screen actually used, thus further facilitating creative work in a real-world usage environment. Furthermore, by using the same aspect ratio as standard paper sizes such as A4, it becomes possible to consider layouts and the like based on the shape of the paper being used. Moreover, by rounding the corners of the rectangular shape, for example, by using the same aspect ratio as icons displayed on smartphone or computer screens, it becomes possible to create ideas based on those shapes. Furthermore, by making it similar in shape to a smartphone screen, it becomes possible to create ideas based on the shape of the smartphone screen.
[0025] In the eighth invention, the basic structure is the same as that of the first invention, thus achieving the objective of the present invention. Furthermore, since the frame is circular, the area between frames increases, which has the advantage of making it easier to describe the relationships between frames. In addition, for example, by making it the same circular shape as the icons displayed on smartphone or computer screens, it has the advantage of allowing the creation of ideas based on that shape.
[0026] In the ninth invention, the basic configuration is the same as that of the first invention, and therefore the objective of the present invention can be achieved. Furthermore, since a pattern is displayed within the frame, there is the advantage that the position of the frame is easy to understand. In addition, if the pattern is, for example, a grid pattern or a dot pattern, there is the advantage that it is easy to draw figures freehand.
[0027] In the tenth invention, the basic configuration is the same as that of the first invention, and therefore the objective of the present invention can be achieved. Furthermore, since patterns are displayed in the intervals, there is the advantage that it is easy to check the ideas and schematics within the frame. In addition, if the pattern is, for example, a grid pattern or a dot pattern, there is the advantage that it is easy to draw straight lines and curves freehand. can.
[0028] In the eleventh invention, a unit page is defined by a rectangular sheet of a predetermined size, and mountain folds and valley folds are alternately formed for each unit page, so that three or more unit pages are arranged in a predetermined direction, and the sheet can be used as writing paper by stacking the unit pages. Furthermore, by unfolding the mountain folds and valley folds, the sheet can be used as writing paper with two or more pages unfolded in the direction of continuity of the unit pages. The preceding unit page displays at least one frame of a predetermined shape, and a portion of the frame of that predetermined shape is displayed aligned in a predetermined direction with a predetermined third interval. The following unit page displays a portion that, together with the portion of the frame, forms the frame, and a frame of the same shape as the predetermined frame is displayed aligned with the third interval. As a result, the portions of the frames displayed on the preceding and following unit pages are combined to form a frame identical to the frame displayed on the unit page. In other words, the frame displayed on the unit page and the frame composed of the frames displayed on the preceding and following unit pages are continuous in the direction of the unit pages with a third interval. By writing ideas and sketches within the aforementioned frames, these ideas and sketches will be aligned in the direction of continuity of the unit page. Furthermore, the frames are formed at a third interval in a predetermined direction. Therefore, when two or more unit pages are unfolded to form a single sheet, the frames will be aligned at a third interval in the direction of continuity of the unit pages. This ensures that ideas and sketches are aligned at the third interval in the direction of continuity of the unit pages. Thus, users can benefit from smooth brainstorming without experiencing pain or difficulty. Additionally, if a frame of an appropriate size cannot be represented within a single unit page, a two-page spread can be used to represent a frame of an appropriate size.
[0029] In the twelfth invention, a unit page is defined by a rectangular sheet of a predetermined size, and since mountain folds and valley folds are alternately formed for each unit page, three or more unit pages are arranged in a predetermined direction, so that it can be used as writing paper by stacking the unit pages. Furthermore, by unfolding the mountain folds and valley folds, it can be used as writing paper with two or more pages unfolded in the direction of continuity of the unit pages. On a unit page, multiple first frames of the same shape are arranged in a predetermined direction with a predetermined first interval. The interval between adjacent first frames shown on the preceding and succeeding unit pages is displayed as the same as the first interval when the preceding and succeeding unit pages are unfolded. Furthermore, on each unit page, multiple fourth frames of the same shape are arranged in a predetermined direction with predetermined fourth intervals, and the interval between adjacent fourth frames shown on the preceding and succeeding unit pages is displayed as the same as the fourth interval when the preceding and succeeding unit pages are unfolded. By writing ideas or sketches in the first or fourth frame, these ideas or sketches will be aligned in the direction of continuity of the unit page. Furthermore, the first or fourth frame on the unit page is formed at the first or fourth interval in a predetermined direction. In addition, the spacing between adjacent first or fourth frames on the preceding and succeeding unit pages of a sequence of unit pages will be displayed identically to the first or fourth interval when the preceding and succeeding unit pages are unfolded. Therefore, when two or more unit pages are unfolded to form a single sheet, the spacing between the first or fourth frame on the unit page and the spacing between the first or fourth frame on the adjacent unit page in the direction of continuity of the unit page will be the same. This has the advantage of allowing users to engage in smooth brainstorming without experiencing pain or distress. Furthermore, the division into the first and fourth sections allows for different uses within the same writing sheet; for example, the first section can be used to write down the direction of an idea, while the fourth section can be used to write illustrations or other representations of the idea. Note that even if three or more types of sections are used in addition to the two types of sections (the first and fourth sections), the invention is still included in this twelfth invention as long as at least two of the sections satisfy the specific requirements of this invention.

[0032] First, with reference to Figures 1-5, Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described. In the following description, for the sake of ease of understanding, the same name will be given numbers such as 1st, 91st, etc., but these numbers will not be considered when determining the technical scope. The writing paper 100 according to the present invention (hereinafter, the writing paper 100 in Example 1 will be conveniently referred to as "First Writing Paper 100") is a writing paper that can be folded into an accordion shape by repeatedly folding mountain folds and valley folds, and is convenient for brainstorming using multiple unit pages by unfolding the mountain folds or valley folds. The first writing paper 100 is constructed by having unit pages 102 (first unit page 1021 to the nth unit page 102n) continuously connected in a predetermined direction by alternating mountain folds and valley folds. The unit pages 102 are rectangular sheets, for example, A4 size paper in portrait orientation, and these first unit pages 1002 to the nth unit pages 102n are constructed by alternating mountain folds 104 (first mountain fold 1041 to the nth mountain fold 104n) and valley folds 106 (first valley fold 1061 to the nth valley fold 106n) continuously connected in a predetermined direction. In this embodiment 1, the predetermined direction is the direction of the short side of the unit page 102, since the long side of the unit page 102 is continuous by mountain folds 104 and valley folds 106. However, it may also be continuous in the direction of the long side. The first writing paper 100 is an ultra-thin sheet made by bonding plant fibers or other fibers together. Therefore, the fiber material can be derived from plants, minerals, metals, animals, or synthetic resins. Furthermore, the size of the unit page 102 is not limited to A4; standardized sizes such as B5 or custom sizes can be used. Since the present invention is a first writing paper 100, it is preferable to use an inexpensive material that readily accepts pencil graphite or ballpoint pen ink, such as wood pulp.
[0033] The first unit pages 1021 to the nth unit pages 102n are formed by alternating first mountain folds 1041 to the nth mountain folds 104n and first valley folds 1061 to the nth valley folds 106n, creating a continuous sheet in a predetermined direction, having a predetermined length as the first writing paper 100, and having a predetermined thickness due to the repetition of mountain folds 104 and valley folds 106. The mountain folds 104 and valley folds 106 can be formed by normal folding or by creating perforated cuts. In this embodiment 1, the first writing paper 100 is white or low-whiteness (recycled paper).
[0034] On page 102, for example, there is a frame 108 (referred to as "frame 108" for convenience) for writing down an idea or a sketch. On the surface 102F of each unit page 102 of the first writing paper 100 in this embodiment 1, rectangular frames 108 (frames 11 to 110) having a predetermined first height H1 and a predetermined first width W1 are arranged in 2 columns and 5 rows. The number of frames 108 may be 10 or less, or an even number of 10 or more. However, if the number of frames 108 is large, the amount of writing within each frame 108 will be limited, so if the unit page 102 is A4 size and oriented vertically, about 5 frames are preferable.
[0035] Next, we will explain the arrangement of frames 11 (1081) to 110 (10810) on page 1021 of the first unit. Since entries 1081 in the 11th frame through 10810 in the 110th frame are all identical, we will explain entry 1081 in the 11th frame as a representative example. Frame 11 1081 is a horizontally elongated rectangle drawn with straight lines of a predetermined width, with the left and right short sides spaced at a predetermined first width W1 interval and the top and bottom long sides spaced at a predetermined first height H1 interval. Various information, such as ideas conceived or hints for ideas, can be written by hand in text or sketches within frames 11 1081 to 110 10810. The rectangle in frame 11 1081 may have rounded or chamfered corners, and may also be a vertically elongated rectangle.
[0036] Frames 11-1081 to 15-1085 are aligned along the long side of the first unit page 1021 with a predetermined second interval VD11 to form the first left frame column 108L. Similarly, frames 16-1086 to 110-10810 are aligned along the first right unit page edge 102LR of the first unit page 1021 with a predetermined second interval VD11 to form the first right frame column 108R. In this embodiment 1, the second interval is the second interval VD11. Furthermore, the spacing between the first upper short side 102UN of the first unit page 1021 and the upper side 108US of the 16th frame 1086 in the top row is the 11th spacing VD11. In addition, the spacing between the first lower short side 102BN and the first lower side 108BS of the 15th frame 1085 in the bottom row is the 2nd spacing VD11.
[0037] The spacing between the first left unit page border 102LL of the first unit page 1021 and the first left edge 108LS of the 11th frame 1081 to the 15th frame 1085 of the first left frame column 108L is the same as the 11th spacing VD11, which is the 12th spacing HD12. Also, the spacing between the first right unit page border 102LR and the first right edge 108RS of the 16th frame 1086 to the 110th frame 10810 of the first right frame column 108R is the 12th spacing HD12. Frames 11 (1081) and 16 (1086), 12 (1082) and 17 (1087), 13 (1083) and 18 (1088), 14 (1084) and 19 (1089), and 15 (1085) and 110 (10810) are aligned parallel to the upper short side 102UN and lower short side 102LN of the first unit page 102. The spacing between the first right-hand side 108RS of the first left-hand column 108L and the left-hand side 108LS of the first right-hand column 108R is the 13th interval HD13, which is twice the 2nd interval VD11, which is the 12th interval HD12. In this embodiment 1, the first interval D1 is the 13th interval HD13. Based on the above, frames 11-1081 to 110-10810 are surrounded by a blank enclosure 112 having the width of the 11th interval VD11. In this embodiment 1, the enclosure 112 is blank.
[0038] If we consider unit page 102 in Figure 1(A) as the first unit page 1021, then the second unit page 1022 is connected to the first right unit page edge 102LR of the first unit page 1021 by the first left unit page edge 102LL of the second unit page 1022 by the first mountain fold 1041. The first right unit page edge 102LR of the second unit page 1022 is connected to the first left unit page edge 102LL of the third unit page 1023 by the first valley fold 1061. Similarly, this continues in an accordion-like manner in a predetermined direction up to the nth unit page 102n. Also, the 11th frame 1081 to the 110th frame 10810 are shown on the second unit page 1021 to the nth unit page 102n, just like on the first unit page 1021. Therefore, the first writing paper 100 according to Example 1 is typically constructed by folding the nth unit page 102n from the first unit page 1021, resulting in a first writing paper 100 that is A4 size when viewed from above and has a predetermined thickness when viewed from the front. Similarly, the back surface 102B of unit page 102 can also show the first frame 108 or be left blank. A front cover and a back cover can also be attached.
[0039] The usage of the first writing paper 100 will be explained with reference to Figures 2 and 3. Note that in Figure 3, although the third unit page 1023 is also shown, for convenience it represents the first unit page 1021 and the second unit page 1022 in a two-page spread. When brainstorming ideas, you can write them down in the frame 108 with the unit pages 102 stacked on top of each other as they come to mind, or you can unfold three or more pages from the first unit page 1021 to the third unit page 1023 in a continuous direction as shown in Figure 2 or Figure 4, or you can use two unit pages 102 unfolded in a two-page spread as shown in Figure 3. When performing the brainstorming process, as an example, the first unit page 1021 and the second unit page 1022 are unfolded as shown in Figure 3. This results in a rectangular flat sheet of A3 size. In this case, the distance between the first right frame column 108R on the 11th unit page 1021 (the previous unit page) and the first left frame column 108L on the second unit page 1022 (the next unit page) is the first interval HD13. That is, the distance between the first right unit page edge 102LR and the first right side 108RS of the first unit page 1021 is the 12th interval HD12, and the distance between the left unit page edge 102LL and the left side 108LS of the second unit page 1022 is the 12th interval HD12. Therefore, the distance between the first right-hand side 108RS of the first right-hand column 108R on the first unit page 1021 and the left-hand side 108LS of the first left-hand column 108L on the second unit page 1022 is twice the 12th interval HD12, or in other words, the first interval HD3. The first interval HD3 is the same as the distance between the first left-hand column 108L and the first right-hand column 108R shown on the first unit page 1021 and other unit pages. In other words, the frames 108 are aligned in the continuity direction of the unit page 102 by the first interval HD13. When three unit pages 102 are unfolded, the unit pages 102 are unfolded as shown in Figure 4, and the frames 108 are aligned in the continuity direction of each unit page 102 by the 13th interval HD13. The same applies when four or more unit pages 102 are unfolded and used. Therefore, even when each unit page 102 is unfolded, the same frame 108 is aligned in the continuity direction of each unit page 102 at a 13th interval HD13, and in the direction perpendicular to that continuity direction at a 2nd interval VD11.
[0040] In this state, for example, solutions to a single problem are written down in each of the 108 boxes in memo format, sketch, etc., as they come to mind. In this case, even if there are multiple pages, the entries are aligned with the 13th interval HD13, so the brainstorming process can be carried out continuously across multiple pages.
[0041] Next, we will explain how to use this method when organizing ideas, referring to Figure 5. In Figure 5, the first unit pages 1021 to the third unit pages 1023 are unfolded in a continuous direction with unit page 102, and the 11th frame 1081 to the 130th frame 10830 are shown. The same applies when unfolding the intermediate unit pages of the first writing sheet 100. In Figure 5, although not shown, each frame 108 is assumed to contain solution ideas in text or a simplified diagram. These ideas are written down as they come to mind, so they are not organized. However, as you refine the solution, it will be necessary to consolidate related ideas. For example, if the 17th frame 1087 of the first unit page 1021, the frame 10814 of the second unit page 1022, and the frame 10825 of the third unit page 1023 are related, as shown in Figure 5, the first border line 1141, which is the border line 114, is drawn around most of the 17th frame 1087 using the blank border area 112 surrounding it. Similarly, the frame 10814 of the second unit page 1022 is mostly enclosed by the second border line 1142 using the blank border area 112. Similarly, the frame 10825 of the third unit page 1023 is mostly enclosed by the third border line 1143 using the blank border area 112. The first border line 1141 and the second border line 1142 are connected by the first connecting line 1161, which is the connecting line 116, using the blank border area 112. Furthermore, the second enclosure 1142 and the third enclosure 1143 are connected by the second connecting line 1162 using the blank enclosure 112. It is immediately clear that the first enclosure 1141, the second enclosure 1142, and the third enclosure 1143 are related ideas, connected by the first connecting line 1161 and the second connecting line 1162. Based on these related ideas, further consideration can be given. [Examples]
[0042] Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figure 6. The same reference numerals are used for parts identical to those in Example 1, and their descriptions are omitted. The different configurations will be described below. In Example 2, the enclosed portion 112 is colored with a predetermined color, which is different from the configuration in Example 1. The fact that frame 108 (frames 11-1081 to 120-10820) is white or has a background color makes the ideas within frame 108 stand out, which is an advantage for brainstorming. The enclosed area 112 can also be represented by a pattern such as diagonal lines instead of coloring. [Examples]
[0043] Next, Embodiment 3 of the present invention will be described with reference to Figure 7. The same reference numerals are used for parts identical to those in Example 1, and their descriptions are omitted. The different configurations will be described below. In Example 3, the first unit page 1021 shows the third frame 308, specifically frames 31 (3081) through 310 (30810). Frames 31 (3081) through 320 (30820) are represented as rectangles by the background color of the third writing paper (300). Since frames 31 (3081) through 310 (30810) are all identical along the left unit page border (102LL) of the first unit page (1021), frame 31 (3081) will be used as a representative example for explanation. Frame 31 3081 is a rectangle formed with a predetermined third height H3 and a predetermined third width W3.
[0044] Frames 31 (3081) to 35 (3085) are aligned along the left unit page edge 102LL of the first unit page 1021 at a predetermined 31st interval VD31 to form the third left frame column 308L. Similarly, frames 36 (3086) to 310 (30810) are aligned along the first right unit page edge 102LR of the first unit page 1021 at a predetermined 31st interval VD31 to form the third right frame column 308R. The distance between the third upper short side 302UN of the third unit page 302 and the third upper side 308US of the 31st frame 3081 in the top row is a predetermined 32nd interval VD32. Furthermore, the distance between the third lower short side 302BN and the third lower side 308BS of the 35th frame 3085 in the bottom row is a 32nd interval VD32. Slots 31 (3081), 32 (3082), 33 (3083), 34 (3084), and 35 (3085) are spaced apart by the interval VD31 of the 31st interval. The 31st interval VD31 is wider than the 32nd interval VD32. The spacing between the left unit page border 102LL of the first unit page 1021 and the third left-hand side 308LS of the 31st frame 3081 to the 35th frame 3085 of the third left-frame column 308L is represented by the 33rd spacing HD33. Similarly, the spacing between the first right unit page border 102LR and the third right-hand side 308RS of the third frame 308 of the third right-frame column 308R is represented by the 33rd spacing HD33. On the second unit page 1022, frames 311 (30811) to 320 (30820) are displayed in the same way as on the first unit page 1021. Frames 311 (30811) and 316 (30816), 312 (30812) and 317 (30817), 313 (30813) and 318 (30818), 314 (30814) and 319 (30819), and 315 (30815) and 320 (30820) are aligned parallel to the upper short side 102UN and lower short side 102BN of the second unit page 1022. The spacing between the third right-hand side 308RS of the third left-hand column 308L and the third left-hand side 308LS of the third right-hand column 308R is represented by the third-fourth spacing HD34, which is twice the third-third width HD33. As a result, when the first unit page 1021 and the second unit page 1022 are unfolded, the spacing between the third right column 308R of the first unit page 1021 and the third left column 308L of the second unit page 1022 becomes the 34th width HD34. In this embodiment 3, the first spacing D1 is the 34th spacing HD34. As described above, frames 31-3081 to 310-30810 are surrounded by a blank enclosure 112 having a width of the 31st interval VD31. In this embodiment 3, the third enclosure 312 is colored. As mentioned above, light colors (pastel colors) are preferred for coloring as lines and other elements are to be drawn. However, it may also be colored black to clearly distinguish the drawn ideas. If the third enclosure 312 is colored black, the color of the lines and other elements must be a color that can be distinguished from black, such as white.
[0045] The second unit page 1022 is connected to the first right unit page edge 102LR of the first unit page 1021 by the first mountain fold 1041. The first right unit page edge 102LR of the second unit page 1022 and the first left unit page edge 102LL of the third unit page 1023 are connected by the first valley fold 1061. Similarly, the unit pages 102 are continued in an accordion-like manner in the direction of continuity. Therefore, in the third writing paper 300 according to Embodiment 3, the nth unit page 102n is usually folded from the first unit page 1021, and when viewed from above, it is A4 size, and when viewed from the front, it is constructed as a third writing paper 300 having a predetermined thickness. The back side of the third unit page 302 can also show the third frame 308 or be left blank.
[0046] With the above configuration, Example 3 can be used in the same way as Example 1. The advantages of coloring the 31st frame 3081 to the 310th frame 30810 in white or a light color, and the 3rd enclosed area 312 in black, are described below. Firstly, because the third frame 308 and the third enclosed section 312 are clearly color-coded, there is an advantage in that the ideas written in the third frame 308 can be clearly recognized during the presentation. Secondly, when taking photos of multiple unit pages 102 containing ideas with a camera and displaying the resulting video data on a computer screen, conference display screen, projector, etc., for presentations, there is the advantage, similar to the first point above, that the ideas and other information can be clearly recognized on the display. Thirdly, when scanning an idea written in the third frame 308 using a smartphone scanning app, the third frame 308 and the third enclosed area 312 are clearly color-coded, which has the advantage of reducing reading errors by the scanning app. Fourth, when the 31st spacing VD31 and the 34th width HD34 are the same dimensions, the third enclosure 312 is surrounded by a thick frame of uniform width, which has the advantage of making the ideas within each third frame 308 easier to recognize. [Examples]
[0047] Next, Embodiment 4 of the present invention will be described with reference to Figure 8. Since Example 4 is a modified example of Example 3, the same reference numerals are used for the same parts as in Example 3, and their descriptions are omitted. The different configurations will be described instead. In Example 4, the configuration of frames 31-3081 to 310-30810 differs from Example 1 in that the straight lines are represented by lines in which multiple points are linearly continuous. Representing the frame with dots offers the following advantages: Firstly, a particular idea, such as a good idea, can be highlighted by drawing lines around it, connecting the dots with a writing instrument, which has the advantage of making the idea easier to identify. Secondly, when the lines of the third frame 308 are thick, drawing ideas with thin, light-colored lines, such as those made with a pencil or mechanical pencil, has the advantage of making it easier to identify ideas written within the third frame 308, as these lines are not very noticeable against the continuous frame lines but are very noticeable against the frame enclosed by the dotted line. [Examples]
[0048] Next, Example 5 of the present invention will be described with reference to Figure 9. Since Example 5 is a modified example of Example 1, the same reference numerals are used for the same parts as in Example 1, and their descriptions are omitted. The different configurations will be described.
[0049] In Example 5, the pattern 118 is displayed within the 11th frame 1081 to the 120th frame 10820. In Example 5, the pattern 118 consists of points arranged regularly vertically and horizontally at predetermined equal intervals. The regular display of points 122 is convenient when drawing schematic diagrams. It is also convenient when writing text, as points 122 can be used as a guide. The shape of points 122 can be appropriately selected, such as circles, triangles, or squares.
[0050] In addition to the points 122 shown in Example 5, the pattern 118 can also be any other pattern as appropriate, such as the grid lines 118C shown in Figure 14(A) as a second pattern, the combination of a square frame 118R and a straight line 118L as a third pattern as shown in Figure 14(B), the vertical lines 118P connecting the midpoints of the longer sides of a horizontal rectangle as a fourth pattern as shown in Figure 14(C), and others. It can also be combined with coloring of the enclosed area 112. [Examples]
[0051] Next, Embodiment 6 of the present invention will be described with reference to Figure 10. Embodiment 6 differs from Embodiment 1 in that the 60th frame 608, specifically the 61st frame 6081 to the 612th frame 60812, are circular in shape with a predetermined radius R6. Hereafter, the same reference numerals are used for parts identical to those in Embodiment 1, and their descriptions will be omitted. The different configuration will be described below. Frames 61-63, 6081, 6083, have their first center C1, second center C2, and third center C3 positioned at a predetermined distance of 61 intervals VD61 on a vertical line VL that is perpendicular to the continuity direction of the first unit page 1021 and the second unit pages 1022-nth unit pages 102n. Frames 61-63, 6083, are circles represented by a predetermined sixth radius 6R centered on the first center C1, second center C2, or third center C3. As a result, the spacing between frame 61-6081 and frame 62-6082, and between frame 62-6082 and frame 63-6083 on the vertical line VL is 61 intervals VD61. Thus, frames 61-63, 6081-63, 6083 constitute the sixth left frame column 608L. Frames 64 (6084) to 66 (6086) are configured identically to the 6th left frame column (608L) and constitute the 6th right frame column (608R). The 6th left frame column (608L) and the 6th right frame column (608R) are positioned at a distance of 61 minutes (HD) on the straight line connecting the 1st center C1 and the 4th center C4, in the continuous direction of the unit page (102).
[0052] The first left unit page border 102LL and the sixth left frame column 608L have a 62nd interval VD62 on a line parallel to the first upper short side 102UN and the first lower short side 102BN, passing through the center of the 61st frame 6081 to the 63rd frame 6083. In this embodiment 6, the 61st interval VD61 and the 62nd interval VD62 are set to the same interval, but the 61st interval VD61 and the 62nd interval VD62 may be different intervals.
[0053] The frame line of the 61st frame 6081, which lies on a line parallel to the 6th upper short side 602UN and the 6th lower short side 602LN passing through the center of the 61st frame 6081 to the 63rd frame 6083 of the 6th left frame column 608L, has a 63rd interval HD63. This 63rd interval HD63 is a predetermined interval, but in this embodiment 6, it is set to be the same as the 62nd interval VD62.
[0054] The 64th interval HD64 on the line passing through the first center C1 and the fourth center C4 of the frame line of the 61st frame 6081 and the frame line of the 64th frame 6084 is set to twice the 63rd interval HD63. In this embodiment 6, the first interval D1 is the 64th interval HD64.
[0055] The distance between the intersection of the frame lines of the 64th frame 6084 to the 66th frame 6086 on the line parallel to the 6th upper short side 602UN and the 6th lower short side 602LN passing through the center of the 64th frame 6084 to the 66th frame 6086 of the 1st right unit page border 102LR and the 6th right frame column 608R is set to the 63rd interval HD63.
[0056] Page 1022 of the second unit also displays the same circular frames 67 (6087) to 612 (60812) as on page 6021 of the first unit. In other words, frames 67 (6087) to 612 (60812) are represented in the same form as frames 61 (6081) to 66 (6086).
[0057] With the above configuration, when the first unit page 1021 and the second unit page 1022 are unfolded, the distance between the straight line passing through the center C4 of the 64th frame and the center C7 of the 67th frame between the 64th frame 6084 and the 67th frame 6087 is twice the distance HD63 of the 64th distance, which is HD64. Therefore, the continuity distance of unit page 102 is unified to the distance HD63. The same applies to the relationship of the third unit page 1023 and subsequent units that are continuous with the second unit page 1022.
[0058] Based on the above, in this embodiment 6, the brainstorming process can be carried out in the same way as in embodiment 1. In particular, since the shape of the sixth frame 608 is circular, and is the same circular shape as the icons displayed on a smartphone or computer screen, there is an advantage in that ideas can be created based on that circular shape. [Examples]
[0059] Next, Embodiment 7 of the present invention will be described with reference to Figure 11. Embodiment 7 differs from Embodiment 1 in that it represents reference numeral 702, which is determined according to a predetermined rule in relation to the frame 108 shown on the writing paper 100 of Embodiment 1. The same reference numerals are used for parts that are the same as in Embodiment 1, and their explanations are omitted. The different configurations will be described.
[0060] In this embodiment 7, reference numeral 702 is a number displayed in the lower right corner of the nth frame, starting from the 11th frame 1081, which is the first frame 108. The numbers are assigned in ascending order from top to bottom on the first unit page 1021, then from top to bottom on the right frame column 108R, and so on for the second unit page 1022 and subsequent pages.
[0061] However, the code 702 may be assigned by assigning the code "1" to the 11th frame 1081, then the code "2" to the 16th frame 1086, then the code "4" to the 12th frame, and so on. Code 702 can use numbers, letters, combinations of letters and numbers, etc. Furthermore, the display position of reference numeral 702 can be selected at any appropriate location within frame 108, but it is necessary to ensure that it does not interfere with the description of ideas or sketches. Alternatively, the position of reference numeral 702 may be outside frame 108, but close to frame 108.
[0062] By adding the symbol 702, related ideas and other elements can be represented not only by the lines but also by the symbol 702, which has the advantage of improving convenience. [Examples]
[0063] Next, Embodiment 8 of the present invention will be described with reference to Figure 12. Example 8 differs from Example 1 in that the first frame 108 is rectangular, while the eighth frame 808 is a horizontally elongated oval. The same reference numerals are used for parts identical to those in Example 1, and their descriptions are omitted. The different configurations will be described below.
[0064] In Example 8, on the first unit page 1021, frames 81 (8081) to 810 (80110) are represented by intervals VD11 (11), HD12 (12), and HD13 (13). Similarly, frame 8 (808) is represented on the second unit page 1022 and other unit pages. When the second unit page 1022 is unfolded on the first unit page 1021, the 12th interval HD12 between the first right unit page edge 102LR and the 8th right frame column 808R of the first unit page 1021, and the 12th interval HD12 between the left unit page edge 102LL and the 8th left frame column 808L of the second unit page 1022, become a continuous sheet, and the interval between the 8th right frame column 808R and the 8th left frame column 808L is the 13th interval HD13, which is twice the 12th interval HD12. Therefore, it is the same as the 31st interval HD3 between the 8th left frame column 808L and the 8th right frame column 808R on unit page 102. Thus, it can be used for brainstorming and other tasks in the same way as in Example 1. [Examples]
[0065] Next, Embodiment 9 of the present invention will be described with reference to Figure 13. Embodiment 9 differs in that the 94th frame 9084, 95th frame 9085, and 96th frame 9086 are formed by combining a portion of the left side of the 94th frame 9084, 95th frame 9085, and 96th frame 9086 shown on the first unit page 1021, which is the unit page before the spread, with a portion of the right side of the 94th frame 9084, 95th frame 9085, and 96th frame 9086 shown on the second unit page 1022, which is the unit page after the spread. The ninth writing paper 900 consists of unit pages 102 (first unit page 1021, second unit page 1022, third unit page 1023 to the nth unit page 102n), each made of, for example, A4-sized paper in portrait orientation. These first unit pages 1021 to the nth unit pages 102n are constructed by alternating mountain folds 104 (first mountain fold 1041 to the nth mountain fold 104n) and valley folds 106 (first valley fold 1061 to the nth valley fold 106n) in a continuous manner in a predetermined direction. Although the nth unit page 102n, the nth mountain fold 104n, and the nth mountain fold 104n are not shown in Figure 13, they have the same configuration as in Example 1.
[0066] First, let's explain page 1021 of the first unit. On page 1021 of the first unit, frame 908 (referred to as "frame 908" for convenience) is displayed. On the surface 102F of the first unit page 1021 of the ninth writing paper 900 of Example 9, rectangular frames 908 (frames 91 to 93, 9083) are arranged in one column and three rows. Since frames 91 to 908n are identical in Example 9, the ninth frame will be described as representative. The ninth frame is represented as a rectangle having a predetermined ninth height H9 and a predetermined ninth width W9. Furthermore, the ninth frame 9081 is divided into two vertically elongated rectangles by a ninth intermediate line 9081M in the middle of its width. In other words, the ninth frame 9081 is composed of the ninth left frame 9081L and the ninth right frame 9081R. The lines defining the ninth frame 9081, and the ninth intermediate line 9081M, are represented by straight lines of predetermined equal width. Frames 91 (9081) through 93 (9083) are aligned in the longitudinal direction and constitute the 9th left column (908L). The number of frames 908 that make up the 9th left column (908L) can be set as appropriate. The 91st frame 9081, the 92nd frame 9082, and the 93rd frame 9083, which constitute the 9th left column 908L, are separated by a predetermined length of 91st interval VD91. In addition, the spacing between the upper short side 102UN of the first unit page 1021 and the upper side 108US of the 91st frame 9081, and the spacing between the lower short side 102LN and the lower side 108BS of the 93rd frame 9083 are set to be the same as the 91st interval VD91, but may be different from the 91st interval VD91.
[0067] To the right of column 908L in column 9, column 908R is located in column 9, right. The ninth right column 908R represents a rectangle with a width of W9H, which is half the width W9 of the ninth frame 9081 in the continuity direction between the first unit page 1021 and the second unit page 1022. In other words, the 94th left half frame 9084L of the 94th frame 9084 is aligned in the continuity direction with respect to the 91st frame 9081. The right long side 9084RS of the 94th frame 9084 is represented by a line width that is half the width of the other lines. Similarly, the left half of the 95th frame 9085, 95th left half frame 9085L, and the left half of the 96th frame 9086, 96th left half frame 9086L, are aligned to the right of the 92nd frame 9082 or the 93rd frame 9083.
[0068] The spacing between the first left unit page border 102LL and the ninth left edge 908LS of the ninth left frame column 908L is set to a predetermined ninth spacing HD92. In this embodiment 9, the ninth spacing HD92 is set to be the same as the ninth spacing VD91. The spacing between the 91st right unit page edge 901RS of the 91st right frame 9081R and the 94th left unit page edge 904LS of the 94th right frame 9084L is set to a predetermined third spacing, which is the 93rd spacing HD93. The 93rd spacing HD93 is set to twice the spacing of the 92nd spacing HD92. In this embodiment 9, the third spacing D3 is the 93rd spacing HD93. The spacing between the right-hand side 901RS of the left column 908L and the left-hand side 904LS of the right column 108R is twice the spacing of the 92nd spacing HD92, which is the 93rd spacing HD93. Based on the above, frames 91 (9081) to 96 (9086) are surrounded by a blank ninth enclosure 1129 having a predetermined width. In this embodiment 9, the ninth enclosure 1129 is blank.
[0069] Next, we will explain page 1022 of the second unit, referring to Figure 13(B). The second unit page 1022, symmetrical to the first unit page 1021 with the first mountain fold 1041 in between, shows the right-hand frame 9084R of frame 94 9084 to the right-hand frame 9086R of frame 96 9086, and frames 97 9087 to 99 9089.
[0070] Next, we will explain page 1023 of the third unit, referring to Figure 13(C). The third unit page 1023 is identical to the first unit page 1021, and is connected to its first left unit page edge 102LL and the first right unit page edge 102LR of the second unit page 1022 by a valley fold 1061. The fourth unit page 1024 and subsequent pages are connected in the same manner.
[0071] When brainstorming solutions to a problem using the 9th writing paper 900, as shown in Figure 13(C), the 2nd unit page 1022 is unfolded by opening the first mountain fold 1041 relative to the 1st unit page 1021, and if necessary, the 3rd unit page 1023 is unfolded by opening the first valley fold 1061 relative to the 2nd unit page 1022, and used as a single sheet.
[0072] In this case, as shown in Figure 13(C), the 94th frame 9084 is formed, spanning the first unit page 1021 and the second unit page 1022. The 91st intermediate line 9081M of the 94th frame 9084 is also made of lines of half the thickness, so it becomes the same thickness as the other frame lines. In addition, the spacing between the 91st frame 9081 and the 94th frame 9084, and the spacing between the 94th frame 9084 and the 97th frame 9087 all become the 93rd spacing HD93, and the 9th frame 908 is aligned vertically and horizontally. Furthermore, each 9th frame 908 is aligned perpendicular to the continuity direction of the unit page 102 by the first spacing VD91, which is convenient for brainstorming.
[0073] Note that the rows of frame 91 9081 and frame 94 9084 in Example 9 may be a single row. Also, on the unit page 102, the rows of frame 91 9081 and frame 94 9084, and for example, the rows of multiple first frames 1081 in Example 1, can be divided into multiple rows in a direction perpendicular to the continuous direction of the unit page 102. [Examples]
[0074] Next, Example 10 will be described with reference to Figure 15. Example 10 differs from Example 1 in that, while the first frame 108 in Example 1 is a horizontal rectangle, the tenth frame 1008 (frames 101-10081 to 1012-100812) is a vertical rectangle. The same reference numerals are used for parts identical to those in Example 1, and their descriptions are omitted. The different configurations will be described below.
[0075] Frame 1008 is a vertically elongated rectangle with arc-shaped corners, and a concave portion 1008C is represented adjacent to the top edge 1008UN. In other words, frame 1008 is represented in a shape similar to the screen of an iPhone (registered trademark). Frames 101110081 to 10610086 are represented in the same shape. In Example 10, on the first unit page 1021, which is unit page 102, the 10th frame 1008, which is frame 101 10081 to frame 103 10083, are displayed horizontally at predetermined intervals, forming the upper frame row 1008H. The spacing between the first left unit page border 102LL and the 10th left edge 1008LS of the 101st frame 10081 is set to a predetermined 102nd spacing HD102. Similarly, the spacing between the first right unit page border 102LR and the first right edge 108RS of the 103rd frame 10083 is set to the 102nd spacing HD102. The interval between frame 101 10081 and frame 102 10082 is set to the 103rd interval HD103, which is twice the 102nd interval HD102. As a result, frames 101 10081 to 103 10083 are arranged in parallel in the continuous direction of the unit page 102 with a predetermined 103rd interval HD103, forming the upper frame row 1008H. In Example 10, the 103rd interval HD103 is the 1st interval D1.
[0076] The distance between the first upper short side 102UN and the upper side 1008UN of the 101st frame 10081 of the upper frame row 1008H is the 101st interval VD101.
[0077] The lower frame row 1008L is shown below the upper frame row 1008H. The lower frame row 1008L is composed of the 10th frame 1008, which consists of frames 104 (10084) to 106 (10086). These frames 104 (10084) to 106 (10086) are aligned vertically with respect to frames 101 (10081) to 103 (10083) of the upper frame row 1008H. In other words, frames 101 (10081) and 104 (10084) are aligned vertically to form the left frame column 108L, frames 102 (10082) and 105 (10085) are aligned vertically to form the middle frame column 108M, and frames 103 (10083) and 106 (10086) are aligned vertically to form the right frame column 108R.
[0078] The spacing between the first lower short side 102BN and the 10th lower side 1008BS of the 104th frame 10084 of the lower frame row 1008L is set to the 101st spacing VD101. Furthermore, the spacing between the 10th bottom edge 1008BS of the 101st frame 10081 in the upper frame row 1008H and the top edge 1008UN of the 104th frame 10084 in the lower frame row 1008L is set to the 101st spacing VD101. However, it is possible to set different spacings instead of aligning all of them to the 101st spacing VD101.
[0079] The 10th frame, 1008, is similarly represented on pages 1022 to 102n of the second unit.
[0080] With the above configuration, for example, when the first unit page 1021 and the second unit page 1022 are opened together, the distance between the first right-hand side 108RS of the 103rd frame 10083 of the first unit page 1021 and the left-hand side 108LS of the 101st frame 10081 of the second unit page 1022 becomes the 103rd interval HD103. As a result, when multiple unit pages 102 are unfolded in the direction of continuity of the unit pages, the 10th frame 008 is aligned in the direction of continuity of the unit pages 102 with the 103rd interval HD103. Therefore, ideas and sketches are aligned in the direction of continuity of the unit pages 102 with the 1st interval D1. This has the advantage that users can engage in smooth brainstorming without experiencing pain or distress. [Examples]
[0081] Next, Example 11 will be described with reference to Figure 16. Example 11 differs from Example 1 in that, unlike Example 1, the frames 108 (11th frame 108) are aligned at predetermined intervals perpendicular to the continuous direction of the unit page 102, in that no predetermined intervals are provided in the perpendicular direction, and the intervals are only the line width representing the frame 108. The same reference numerals are used for parts that are the same as in Example 1 and their descriptions are omitted, while the different configurations are described.
[0082] Frame 111, number 1108, is formed in the shape of a horizontally elongated rectangle. In Example 11, on the first unit page 1021, which is unit page 102, the 111th frame 1108, specifically frames 11081 to 11112, are arranged vertically in groups of six, forming the left frame column 108L and the right frame column 108R. The left column 108L and the right column 108R have the same configuration. In the left column 108L, frames 1111 (11081) to 116 (11086) are arranged vertically. In the right column 108R, frames 1117 (11087) to 11112 (110812) are arranged vertically. Frames 1111 (11081) to 11112 (110812) are represented in the same shape.
[0083] Since entries 11081 (slot 1111) through 110812 (slot 11112) have the same configuration, we will explain entry 11081 (slot 1111) as a representative example. Frame 1111 11081 is formed as a horizontally elongated rectangle having a predetermined 11th width W11 and a predetermined 11th height H11. The spacing between the first left unit page border 102LL and the 11th left edge 1108LS of the 1111th frame 11081 is set to a predetermined 112th spacing HD112. Similarly, the spacing between the first right unit page border 102LR and the first right edge 108RS of the 1117th frame 11087 is set to the 112th spacing HD112. The spacing between frame 1111 (11081) and frame 1117 (11087) is set to the 113th interval (HD113), which is twice the 112th interval (HD112). In other words, the left frame column (108L) and the right frame column (108R) are represented separated by a distance of 113th interval (HD113), which is twice the 112th interval (HD112), in the continuity direction of the unit page (102). The 113th interval (HD113) is the 1st interval (D1).
[0084] The distance between the first upper short side 102UN and the upper side 1108UN of the 1111 frame 11081 is the 111th interval VD111.
[0085] The distance between the first lower short side 102BN and the 11th lower side 1108BS of the 116th frame 11086 is the 111th interval VD111. Furthermore, the distance between the lower edge 1108BS of the upper 1111 frame 11081 and the upper edge 1108UN of the lower 1112 frame is the width of the line representing the 1111 frame 11081, which is the 112th interval VD112. The 112th interval VD112 is the 2nd interval D2.
[0086] Similarly, on the second unit page 1022 to the nth unit page 102n, frames 1111 (11081) to 11112 (110812) are shown.
[0087] With the above configuration, for example, when the first unit page 1021 and the second unit page 1022 are opened together, the distance between the first right-hand side 108RS of frame 1117 11087 on the first unit page 1021 and the left-hand side 108LS of frame 1111 11081 on the second unit page 1022 becomes the 113th interval HD113. As a result, when multiple unit pages 102 are unfolded in the continuity direction of the unit pages, frame 111 1108 is aligned in the continuity direction of the unit pages 102 with the 113th interval HD113. Therefore, the 113th interval HD113, which is the first interval D1 of frame 111 11081 on unit page 102, and the distance between frame 1117 11087 on the previous unit page 102 and frame 1111 11081 on the subsequent unit page 102 adjacent to it, are both the 113th interval HD113 and are identical. This aligns the 111th frame 1108 with the first interval D1 in the continuous direction of the unit page 102. Therefore, users have the advantage of being able to engage in smooth brainstorming without experiencing pain or distress. [Examples]
[0088] Next, Example 12 will be described with reference to Figure 17. In Example 12, unlike Example 1 where the first frame 108 is identical throughout the unit page, the configuration of Example 12 differs from Example 1 in that it represents multiple different frame shapes on the unit page 102. The same reference numerals are used for parts identical to those in Example 1, and their descriptions are omitted. The different configurations will be described below.
[0089] In Example 12, the 121st frame 1208 (frames 1211-12081 to 1216-120816) is divided into the 12th upper frame row 1208H and the 12th lower frame row 1208L, and the 121st frame 1208 located in the 12th upper frame row 1208H and the 12th lower frame row 1208L have different frame shapes. The frame shape of the 12th upper frame row 1208H is formed as a rectangle having a predetermined 12th width W12 and a predetermined 12th height H12. The corners of the rectangle can be rounded or chamfered. The frame shape of the 12th lower frame row 1208L is formed as a circle having a predetermined 12th radius R.
[0090] In the 12th upper frame row 1208H, frames 1211 (12081) to 1214 (12084) are arranged in 2 columns and 2 rows. Frames 1211 (12081) and 1212 (12082) are arranged horizontally in parallel at a predetermined interval in the continuous direction of the unit page 102. Frames 1213 (12083) and 1214 (12084) are arranged vertically below frames 1211 (12081) and 1212 (12082), aligned with them. As a result, the distance between the first left unit page border 102LL and the 12th left edge 1208LS of the 1211th frame 12081 is set to a predetermined 121st interval HD121. Similarly, the distance between the first right unit page border 102LR and the first right edge 108RS of the 1212th frame 12082 is set to the 121st interval HD121. The spacing between frame 1211 (12081) and frame 1212 (12082) is set to the 122nd interval (HD122), which is twice the spacing of the 121st interval (HD121). Frames 1211 (12081) and 1213 (10083) are aligned vertically to form the left 12th frame column (128L). Frames 1212 (12082) and 1214 (12084) are aligned vertically to form the right 12th frame column (128R).
[0091] The spacing between the first upper short side 102UN and the upper side 1208UN of the 1211 frame 12081 of the upper frame row is set to the 123rd spacing VD123. The spacing between the lower edge 1208BN of frame 1211 12081 and the upper edge 1208UN of frame 1212 12082 is set to the 124th spacing VD124.
[0092] The lower frame row 1208L is displayed below the upper frame row 1208H. The lower row 1208L consists of frames 12085 to 120816 arranged in a circle with a predetermined radius R, and these frames are arranged vertically and horizontally in a 4x3 grid. These frames 12085 to 120816 constitute the fourth frame 408. More specifically, frames 12085 to 12088 are aligned at a predetermined interval of 125 HD125 in the continuous direction of the unit page 102. The interval of 125 HD125 is the third interval D4. The frame shapes of the upper row 1208H and the lower row 1208L can be any shape, and any combination of shapes can be used as appropriate. Furthermore, by aligning the elements in three or more rows perpendicular to the continuous direction of the unit page 102, it is possible to combine not only the two types shown in Example 12, but also three or more different frame shapes. Frames 1219 (12089) to 12112 (120812) are aligned vertically to and below frames 1215 (12085) to 1218 (12088), and are aligned in the direction of continuity of unit page 102. Similarly, frames 12113 (120813) to 12116 (120816) are aligned vertically to and below frames 1219 (12089) to 12112 (120812), and are aligned in the direction of continuity of unit page 102. Therefore, the 1215th frame 12085, the 1219th frame 12089, and the 12113th frame 120813 are aligned in the vertical direction at a predetermined 127th interval VD127, forming the 121st frame row 108T1. The interval between the intersections of the lines and arcs passing through the centers of the 1215th frame 12085, the 1219th frame 12089, and the 12113th frame 120813, which are perpendicular to the 102LL and constitute the 121st frame row 108T1, is set to the 126th interval HD126. Frames 1216 (12086), 12110 (120810), and 12114 (120814) are aligned in the vertical direction at a predetermined interval of 127 (VD127), forming the 122nd frame row (108T2). Frames 1217 (12087), 12111 (120811), and 12115 (120815) are aligned in the vertical direction at a predetermined interval of 127 (VD127), forming the 123rd frame row (108T3). Frames 1218 (12088), 12112 (120812), and 12116 (120816) are aligned in the vertical direction at a predetermined interval of 127 (VD127), forming the 124th frame row (108T4). The interval between the intersection points of each line and arc that is perpendicular to the first right unit page border 102LR and passes through the centers of the 1218th frame 12088, the 12112th frame 120812, and the 12116th frame 120816 is set to the 126th interval HD126. The 126th interval HD126 is half the interval of the 125th interval HD125.
[0093] The distance between the first lower short side 102BN and the center of the 12113 frame 120813 is set to the 128th interval VD128. The 128th interval VD128 is set to be wider than the 123rd interval VD123. Furthermore, the distance between the 12th lower edge 1208BN of frame 1213 12083 and the center of frame 1215 12085 on the straight line is set to the 129th interval VD129.
[0094] The same representations of frames 12081-12084 and 12085-120816 are also found on pages 1022-102n of the second unit.
[0095] With the above configuration, for example, when the first unit page 1021 and the second unit page 1022 are placed in a facing-open state, in the upper frame row 1208H, the spacing between the first right side 108RS of the 1212th frame 12082 of the first unit page 1021 and the left side 108LS of the 1211th frame 12081 of the second unit page 1022 becomes the 122nd spacing HD122. As a result, when multiple unit pages 102 are unfolded in the continuous direction of the unit pages 102, the 121st frame 1208 is aligned in the continuous direction of the unit pages 102 with the 122nd spacing HD122. Also, in the 12th lower row 1208L, the spacing on the line passing through the center of the 1218th frame 12088 of the first unit page 1021 and the 1215th frame 12085 of the second unit page 1022 becomes the 125th spacing HD125. As a result, multiple unit pages 102 are aligned in the continuum direction at the 122nd interval HD122 or the 125th interval HD125. Therefore, the 122nd interval HD122, which is the 1st interval D1 of frames 1211 to 1214 12084 on unit page 102, and the 125th interval HD125 in the continuum direction of unit page 102, which is the predetermined direction of frame 1218 12088 on the adjacent 1st unit page 1021 and frame 1215 12085 on the 2nd unit page 1022, are the same. As a result, ideas and sketches are aligned in the continuum direction of unit page 102 at the 1st interval D1 or the 4th interval D4. Therefore, the user has the advantage of being able to brainstorm smoothly without experiencing pain or distress. Furthermore, since frames 1215 (12085) to 12116 (120816) are circular, they are convenient, for example, when brainstorming circular icons. Also, because the shapes of frame 1 (108) and frame 4 (408) are different, it becomes possible to use them in different ways on the same writing paper, for example, by writing the direction of an idea in text in frame 1 (108) and drawing illustrations of the idea in frame 4 (408), thus improving convenience. [Examples]
[0096] Next, Example 13 will be described with reference to Figure 18. Example 13 is characterized by arranging multiple rows perpendicular to the continuous direction of the unit page 102, and by having different arrangements of frames 108 in these multiple rows. The same reference numerals are used for the same parts as in Example 1 and their descriptions are omitted, while the different configurations are described.
[0097] In Example 13, the 13th frame 1308 (1311th frame 13081 to 1322nd frame 130812), which is frame 108, have the same shape, and the 131st frame 13081 will be described as representative. In Example 13, frames 1311 (13081) to 1312 (130812) are represented in multiple rows perpendicular to the continuous direction of the unit page 102. In Example 13, the multiple rows consist of five rows, from row 13S1 to row 5 (13S5), but the number of rows can be selected as appropriate. The arrangement of frame 13 (1308) is the same in row 13S1, row 3 (13S3), and row 5 (13S5). The arrangement of frame 13 (1308) is the same in row 2 (13S2) and row 4 (13S4).
[0098] The arrangement of the 13th frame 1308 in the first row 13S1, the third row 13S3, and the fifth row 13S5 will be explained using the first row 13S1 as a representative example. The 13th frame 1308, which is the 13th frame 1308, and the 132nd frame 13082 in the first row 13S1, are horizontally elongated rectangles having a predetermined 13th width W13 and a predetermined 13th height H13, and are aligned in the continuous direction of the unit page 102. The spacing between the first left unit page border 102LL and the 13th left edge 1308LS of the 131st frame 13081 is set to a predetermined 133rd spacing HD133. Similarly, the spacing between the first right unit page border 102LR and the first right edge 108RS of the 132nd frame 13082 is set to the 133rd spacing HD133. The interval between frame 131 (13081) and frame 132 (13082) is set to interval 134 (HD134), which is twice the interval of interval 133 (HD133). Interval 134 (HD134) is the first interval (D1).
[0099] The distance between the first upper short side 102UN and the upper side 1308UN of the 1301 frame 13081 is the 131st interval VD131.
[0100] The distance between the first lower short side 102BN and the 13th lower side 1308BS of the 1311 frame 130811 is the 131st interval VD131.
[0101] Next, we will explain the second row 13S2 and the fourth row 13S4. Since the second line 13S2 and the fourth line 13S4 have the same structure, we will explain the second line 13S2 as a representative example. In row 2, 13S2, the right half of frame 133, 13083, is frame 13083R. Frame 134 13084 and the left half of frame 133 13083, left frame 13083L, are aligned at intervals of interval 134 HD134. More specifically, row 2 13S2 is offset relative to row 13S1 with respect to the continuity direction of unit page 102. The spacing between the right edge of right frame 133 13083R and the left edge of frame 134 13084, and between the right edge of frame 134 13084 and the left edge of frame 135 13085, is set to interval 134 HD134. In other words, row 13S1 and row 2 13S2 are offset relative to the continuity direction of unit page 102 by half the length of width 13W13, which is the width of frame 134 13084. The 136th frame 13086 to the 1312th frame 130812, which make up the 3rd row 13S3 to the 5th row 13S5, are represented in the same way as the 1st row 13S1. Furthermore, the spacing between the lower edge 1308BN of the upper 131st frame 13081 and the upper edges 1308UN of the lower 133rd frame 13083 and 134th frame 13084 is the 132nd spacing VD132.
[0102] The 131st frame 13081 to the 1313th frame 130812 are also shown on the 2nd unit page 1022 to the nth unit page 102n.
[0103] With the above configuration, for example, when the first unit page 1021 and the second unit page 1022 are placed in a facing-open state, in the first row 13S1, the third row 13S3, and the fifth row 13S5, the spacing between the first right side 108RS of the 132nd frame 13082 on the first unit page 1021 and the left side 108LS of the 131st frame 13081 on the second unit page 1022 becomes the 134th spacing HD134. Also, in the second row 13S2, the 135th frame 13085 is formed by combining the left 135th frame 13085L and the right 133rd frame 13083R. Also, in the fourth row 13S4, the left 1310th frame 130810L and the right 138th frame 13088R are combined to form the 1310th frame 130810. In row 2, 13S2, the interval between the rightmost 133rd frame 13083R and the 134th frame 13084, and between the 134th frame 13084 and the leftmost 135th frame 13085L, is interval 134, HD134. Similarly, in row 4, 13S4, the interval between the rightmost 138th frame 13088R and the 139th frame 13089, and between the 139th frame 13089 and the leftmost 1310th frame 130810L, is interval 134, HD134. Therefore, when multiple unit pages 102 are laid out in the continuous direction of the unit pages 102, in the first row 13S1 to the fifth row 13S5, the 131st frame 13081 to the 1312th frame 130812 are aligned at the 134th interval HD134. As a result, ideas and sketches are aligned at the 1st interval D1 in the continuous direction of the unit pages 102. Thus, the user has the advantage of being able to engage in smooth brainstorming without experiencing pain or distress. Furthermore, because the second row 13S2 and the fourth row 13S4 are offset in the direction of continuity of the unit page 102 relative to the first row 13S1, the third row 13S3, and the fifth row 13S5, (1) there are more adjacent frames to a given frame than in the arrangement of Example 1 (for example, the other closest adjacent frame 13087 is adjacent to 6 frames above, below, left, and right), which has the advantage of making it easier to write related ideas derivatively. (2) Because users get the visual impression that "each row is a group", it has the advantage of being suitable for use in a way that "groups the content to be written for each row" by treating a given row, for example, the first row 13S1, as one group. Specifically, for example, an illustration representing an idea can be written in the first row 13S1, the third row 13S3, and the fifth row 13S5, and comments on that illustration can be written in the second row 13S2 and the fourth row 13S4. [Examples]
[0104] Next, Example 14 will be described with reference to Figure 19. In Example 14, the first frame 108 of Example 1 (frames 141 14081 and 142 14082) is aligned in a single row in the continuous direction of the unit page 102, with a predetermined interval HD143. The same reference numerals are used for parts identical to those in Example 1, and their descriptions are omitted. The different configurations will be described.
[0105] The 141st frame 1408 and the 142nd frame 14082 are formed as horizontally elongated rectangles having a predetermined 14th width W14 and a predetermined 14th height H14. The 141st frame 1408 and the 142nd frame 14082 can be modified by rounding the corners of the rectangles, or they can be made into circles, etc.
[0106] The distance between the first left unit page border 102LL and the 14th left side 1408LS of the 141st frame 14081 is set to a predetermined 142nd interval HD142. Similarly, the distance between the first right unit page border 102LR and the right side 1408RS of the 142nd frame 14082 is set to the 142nd interval HD142. The interval between frame 141 (14081) and frame 142 (14082) is set to interval 143 (HD143), which is twice the interval of interval 142 (HD142). Interval 143 (HD143) is the first interval (D1).
[0107] The distance between the first upper short side 102UN and the upper side 1408US of the 141st frame 14081 is the 141st interval VD141.
[0108] The distance between the first lower short side 102BN and the 141st lower side 1408BS of the 141st frame 14081 of the lower frame row 1408L is set to be the same as the 141st interval VD141, but it may be different from the 141st interval VD141.
[0109] The same representations of frame 141 (14081) and frame 142 (14082) are also found on pages 1022 to 102n of the second unit.
[0110] With the above configuration, for example, when the first unit page 1021 and the second unit page 1022 are opened together, the distance between the right side 1408RS of the 142nd frame 14082 on the first unit page 1021 and the left side 1408LS of the 141st frame 14081 on the second unit page 1022 becomes the 143rd interval HD143. As a result, the 141st frame 14081 and the 142nd frame 14082 are aligned at the 143rd interval HD143 in the continuous direction of unit page 102. Therefore, the 143rd interval HD143, which is the 1st interval D1 of the 14th frame 1408 written on unit page 102, and the distance in the continuous direction of the unit page, which is the predetermined direction of the 14th frame 1408 on the adjacent unit page 102, are the same at the 143rd interval HD143. As a result, ideas and sketches are aligned at the 1st interval D1 in the continuous direction of unit page 102. Therefore, users have the advantage of being able to engage in smooth brainstorming without experiencing pain or distress. Furthermore, in this embodiment 14, the area of the enclosed portion 112 outside the 14th frame 1408 is enlarged, which has the advantage of allowing for usage methods such as writing text indicating the direction of the idea inside the frame and drawing an illustration of the idea outside the frame.
