Abstract

An expression processing device of the present invention includes an input unit, a display and a processor. The processor is configured to perform following processes: inputting an expression in response to a user's operation on the input unit; detecting a plurality of variables included in the expression input by the input unit, among the plurality of variables which are usable in expressions; and outputting the input expression and variable values associated with the detected variables.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An expression processing device comprising:
an input unit;
a display; and
a processor,

inputting an expression in response to a user's operation on the input unit;
detecting a plurality of variables included in the input expression, among a plurality of variables which are usable in expressions;
extracting one or more of a plurality of types of setting data, as setting data essential for calculating the expression, from a memory which stores the plurality of types of setting data relative to expression calculation display; and
outputting one or more data items of: the input expression, variable values associated with the detected variables, and the extracted one or more of the plurality of types of setting data, as information for an image generating apparatus outside of the expression processing device to generate an image for external display based on the one or more data items.

2. The expression processing device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
the memory,
wherein the variable values are stored in the memory in association with the plurality of variables which are usable in expressions respectively, and
wherein the data items output by the processor include the input expression and the variable values associated with the detected variables stored in the memory.

3. The expression processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to further perform a process comprising:
in response to a user's operation, setting a variable value in association with any one of stored variables.

4. The expression processing device according to claim 2 , wherein:
the variables are matrix variables or vector variables, and
in association with each of the matrix variables or the vector variables, the variable values as elements of the corresponding matrix variables or the corresponding vector variables are stored in the memory.

5. The expression processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to further perform a process comprising:
when a trigonometric function is included in the input expression, extracting angle mode setting data relative to a calculation of the trigonometric function of the input expression, when extracting the one or more of the plurality of types of setting data as the setting data essential for calculating the expression.

6. The expression processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the outputting performed by the processor comprises:
converting data including the input expression, the variable values of the detected variables, and the extracted one or more of the plurality of types of setting data, into a two-dimensional code; and
displaying the two-dimensional code on the display.

7. An expression processing device comprising:
an input unit;
a display; and
a processor,
wherein the processor is configured to perform processes comprising:
storing variable values in association with a plurality of variables respectively, the plurality of variables being usable in expressions;
inputting an expression in response to a user's operation on the input unit;
extracting one or more of a plurality of types of setting data, as setting data essential for calculating the expression, from a memory which stores the plurality of types of setting data relative to expression calculation display; and
outputting one or more data items of: the input expression, variable values associated with variables included in the input expression, and the extracted one or more of the plurality of types of setting data, as information for an image generating apparatus outside of the expression processing device to generate an image for external display based on the one or more data items.

8. A non-transitory recording medium having a program stored thereon for controlling a computer of an electronic device including an input unit and a display, the program causing the computer to perform processes comprising:
inputting an expression in response to a user's operation on the input unit;
detecting a plurality of variables included in the input expression, among a plurality of variables which are usable in expressions;
extracting one or more of a plurality of types of setting data, as setting data essential for calculating the expression, from a memory which stores the plurality of types of setting data relative to expression calculation display; and
outputting one or more data items of: the input expression, variable values associated with the detected variables, and the extracted one or more of the plurality of types of setting data, as information for an image generating apparatus outside of the expression processing device to generate an image for external display based on the one or more data items.

9. A method for an electronic device including an input unit and a display, the method comprising:
inputting an expression in response to a user's operation on the input unit;
detecting a plurality of variables included in the input expression, among a plurality of variables which are usable in expressions;
