摘要:
The present invention relates to a jotting implement that infers hand-jotted information from a jotting surface. The hand-jotted information is any information marked on the jotting surface as a result of writing, jotting, drawing, sketching or in any other manner of marking or depositing marks on the jotting surface. Hand-jotted information is also information traced on the jotting surface without leaving any markings thereon or otherwise produced by the motions executed by the jotting implement with respect to the jotting surface while in contact with the jotting surface. The jotting implement has a nib for jotting and an arrangement for determining when the nib is jotting on the jotting surface. Further, the implement has an optical unit for viewing the jotting surface. The implement also has a processing unit for receiving optical data of said jotting surface from the optical unit and determining from it the physical coordinates of the nib with respect to at least one corner of the jotting surface and at least one edge of the jotting surface and/or other landmarks or optically recognizable features on the jotting surface.

The invention relates to a teaching device formed by the combination of a wireless communication terminal (67) located in a class of an educational establishment and a set of communication tablets (66) that each belong to a student or a teacher of this class. Such a tablet (66) has two rigid flaps (1, 2) that are articulated about a hinge (3) which is hollow in order to store a stylus therein and is able to rotate through 360°, each of the two flaps (1, 2) having an impact- and liquid-resistant outer face (17, 18) and an impact- and liquid-resistant inner face and having a screen (7, 8) for reading and writing manually by means of a stylus (16).
摘要:
A method and system for enabling user interaction with computer software running in a computer system via an interface surface and a sensing device. The interface surface contains information relating to the computer software and coded data indicative of a drawing field. When placed in an operative position relative to the interface surface, the sensing device senses indicating data indicative of the drawing field and generates movement data indicative of the sensing device's movement relative to the interface surface. The indicating and movement data are received in the computer system from the sensing device. The drawing field is identified and then the computer software is operated at least partly in reliance on the movement data, and in accordance with instructions associated with the drawing field.

A method and system for enabling user interaction with computer software running in a computer system via an interface surface and a sensing device. The interface surface contains information relating to the computer software and coded data indicative of a text field. When placed in an operative position relative to the interface surface, the sensing device senses indicating data indicative of the text field and generates movement data indicative of the sensing device's movement relative to the interface surface. The indicating data and movement data are received in the computer system and the text field is identified from the indicating data. The computer software is operated at least partly in reliance on the movement data, and in accordance with instructions associated with the text field.

The present invention provides an input device for positioning a cursor on a computer screen by movement of a ball (2) whose rotary movements are transformed into electronic signals, which is unique in that magnetically detectable markings are provided at the ball (2), capable of being detected by a magnetic reading unit (11) in such a manner that the rotation of the ball is converted into data values with respect to an x-axis and a y-axis, said axes being preferably perpendicular to each other. This provides a compact detecting device which is suitable for the construction of a computer mouse with the shape of a ball-point pen.

A pen-type computer input device is used to move a cursor on the display of a computer system or enter data such as of figures, letters, numerals, or the like into a computer system. The pen-type computer input device includes a shank (5), a ball (7) rotatably supported on the tip (6) end of the shank, the ball having a plurality of identifiable regions (8,9) on an outer peripheral surface thereof, and a circuit including a sensor unit for detecting the identifiable regions in response to rotation of the ball, and for detecting the directions in which the ball rotates and the distances by which the ball moves two perpendicular directions in a plane, and producing an output signal representative of the directions and distances. Since the sensor unit can detect the distance by which the pen-type computer input device moves without any mechanical motion transmitting mechanism incorporated in the shank, the pen-type computer input device may be small in size and can be handled with ease.

@ A linear measurement apparatus is in the form of a highly portable and manipulable hand-held pen which can be linked by an interface to a computer running a spreadsheet program. The pen comprises a sensing tip in the form of a ball (4), at one end of a rotary shaft (5), running along the axis of the pen. The shaft (5) may be driven in rotation, its rotation being detected by a sensor (11, 12, 13) which can provide a count indicative of the amount of rotation of the ball (4) and thus of the length of a line the ball (4) traverses. The line length can be entered in the spreadsheet.

摘要:
A user interaction device, in particular an electronic pen, is disclosed which comprises an elongate outer casing (112) having an axis, a chassis (114) located within the outer casing, a switch having electrical contacts (130) supported by the chassis, and a nib (116) movable relative to the chassis (114) and serving to close the switch when axially displaced towards the chassis (114). In the invention, the nib (116) is attached to the chassis (114) by means of an axially compressible resilient element (144) of which a first end (142) is anchored to the chassis (114) and a second end (146) is anchored to the nib (116), and movement of the nib (116) in a direction transverse to the axis of the outer casing (112) is constrained by the resilient element (144).
