    摘要: A method and apparatus to precisely track the position of the writing instrument, specifically the writing end, such as the tip, of a pen. One embodiment of the invention described herein includes a writing instrument containing acceleration sensors and angular velocity sensors. Data from these sensors are processed via an Euler transform to determine the strokes made with the writing instrument. Corrections may be made to improve upon the output of the Euler transform. The data describing the strokes may include graphical representations of the strokes actually made with the writing instrument. Data describing the strokes may be stored or processed to accomplish a variety of tasks such as recording information, faxing a message, recording an appointment, or other such tasks.

    摘要: One embodiment of the writing instrument described herein comprises a pen-like device containing three accelerometers and three gyroscopes. Data from these sensors are processed via an Euler transform. Prior to using the writing instrument, the user holds the writing instrument in multiple predefined positions and sensor readings are taken. The sensor readings are mapped to the corresponding predefined positions. In addition, the sensor readings are compared to expected sensor readings to compensate for environmental variations such as altitude or temperature as well as for the possible tilt of a writing surface. The sensor readings are interpolated to map sensor readings other than those at the predefined positions to other writing instrument positions. When the user writes with the writing instrument, sensor outputs are used to track the writing instrument to define strokes made by the user. The data describing the strokes may be stored or processed to accomplish a variety of tasks including faxing a message, recording information, etc.

    摘要: The apparatus for the recognition of speech comprises an acoustic preprocessor, a visual preprocessor, and a speech classifier that operates on the acoustic and visual preprocessed data. The acoustic preprocessor comprises a log mel spectrum analyzer that produces an equal mel bandwidth log power spectrum. The visual processor detects the motion of a set of fiducial markers on the speaker's face and extracts a set of normalized distance vectors describing lip and mouth movement. The speech classifier uses a multilevel time-delay neural network operating on the preprocessed acoustic and visual data to form an output probability distribution that indicates the probability of each candidate utterance having been spoken, based on the acoustic and visual data.

    摘要: A manual entry interactive paper and electronic document handling and process system uses a pen-like instrument (PI) with a writing point for making written entries upon a physical document and sensing the three-dimensional forces exerted on the writing tip as well as the motion associated with the act of writing. The PI is also equipped with a CCD array for reading pre-printed bar codes used for identifying document pages and other application defined areas on the page, as well as for providing optical character recognition data. A communication link between the PI and an associated base unit transfers the transducer data from the PI. The base unit includes a programmable processor, a display, and a communication link receiver. The processor includes programs for written character and word recognition, memory for storage of an electronic version of the physical document and any hand-written additions to the document. The display unit displays the corresponding electronic version of the physical document on a CRT or LCD as a means of feedback to the user and for use by authorized electronic agents.
