    Abstract: In one embodiment of an optical pointing device, an illumination system includes a plurality of light sources. Each light source is characterized by a unique set of illumination characteristics. Illumination characteristics include impinging angle, light wavelength, light homogeneity, and the like. A sensor receives electromagnetic energy originating at the light source to scan an imaged area. The sensor measures performance indexes associated with the light sources, which depend on the illumination characteristics. Then sensor includes an imaging module, which may include passive filters, and control logic, which includes at least a DSP module and a light sensor selection module. Another embodiment includes additional signaling light sources that do not interfere with the illumination system and are for signaling to the user. A method to select the most adequate light source for any given surface is based on measured performance indices.

    Abstract: Object of the invention is to provide a pointing device for computers that is operated with finger movement only. The same fingers that are used to move the cursor on the screen are also able to operate the mouse keys at the same time. This can be done by making the mouse flat (1) with buttons incorporated in the upper surface of the mouse. The mouse is moved by the fingers resting on the buttons. It is necessary that the friction between the fingers and the mouse is greater then the friction between the mouse and the surface it is resting on.

    Abstract: A writing stylus (100) having a motion sensor (204) for sensing the movement of at least one end 110 of the stylus relative to an adjacent surface is described. The stylus has an elongated housing (104) and a cap (102). The motion sensor generates signals corresponding to the relative motion of the surface to the sensor. The cap is removeably carried on at least one portion of the housing which also has the motion sensor. The cap comprises a light passage (118) adapted to allow the motion sensor to sense the translation of the surface adjacent to the cap, through the cap. In a first input mode the motion sensor is used for sensing manual hand writing motion. In a second mode, when the cap is carried on the housing and is placed over at least the motion sensor, the motion sensor senses the motion of a surface adjacent to the cap such as a users finger. In this mode, the stylus functions a multiple axis input device such as a thumbwheel.

    Abstract: An information processing system contains an arrangement for enabling printing on demand of position-coded bases. In the arrangement, a current graphical object is selected from a set of graphical objects prestored in the system, which each define graphic information and corresponds to a rule object which connects at least one processing measure to the graphic information. In the arrangement, the current graphical object is assigned position data from a position data bank. The assigned position data can then be applied, together with the graphic information, to a substrate for forming the position-coded base. The arrangement also provides allocation data in the system, which associates the assigned position data with the graphical object in such a manner that position data read from the base by means of a digital pen device can be processed in the system using the adequate rule object.

    Abstract: The present invention is directed to enhancing a user's interaction with a physical document, such as a page of a book, by supplying the user with additional information related to the physical document in a simple, easy to use fashion. Exemplary embodiments provide this additional information as digital content that is displayed as an overlay upon the document. The overlay can be in the form of a flat digital display that can be moved about a surface of the physical document. The absolute position of the movable display is tracked, so that digital content presented on the display is related to a particular position of the display over the document. This capability can be exploited to, for example, provide an-the-fly translation of a particular document, with the translation being provided as the movable display is scanned over the words printed on a document to be translated.
