Abstract

This present invention discloses a system and a method for presenting a real handwriting trace. The design of this invention can keep the real handwriting traces of the users and transmit the real handwriting traces to application software. Moreover, the prior trace identifying process is not necessary in this invention. Thus, the design of this invention does not have to spend time on the trace identifying process, and the mistakes during the trace identifying process can be avoided. Hence, this present invention can provide a system and a method for directly inputting traces into a file of application software by handwriting or hand-drawing. Preferably, according to this invention, the real traces of the users can be presented on the file of application software.

Claims

1. A system for presenting real handwriting trace, comprising:

an inputting device;

a system-device communication interface coupled with said inputting device, wherein said system-device communication interface is employed to receive a plurality of parameter of the real handwriting trace from said inputting device and transfer said parameters into a picture file; and

a working system linked to said system-device communication interface, wherein said system-device communication interface is employed to output said picture file into an application software and thus the real handwriting trace is presented in a file of said application software.

2. The system according to claim 1, wherein said parameters comprise absolute coordinate data.

3. The system according to claim 1, wherein said parameters comprise pressure data.

4. The system according to claim 1, wherein said picture file is output into said file by object linking and embedding technology.

5. The system according to claim 1, wherein said picture file is output into said file by clipboard technology.

6. The system according to claim 1, wherein said system-device communication interface comprises Wintab interface.

7. The system according to claim 1, wherein said system-device communication interface further comprises a memory device for saving said picture file.

8. The system according to claim 1, wherein said application software is office software.

9. The system according to claim 1, wherein said application is drawing software.

10. The system according to claim 1, wherein said application software is E-mail tool software.

11. A system for presenting real handwriting trace, comprising:

an inputting system for inputting said real handwriting trace;

a system-device communication interface coupled with said inputting system, wherein said system-device communication interface is employed for receiving and transferring a plurality of parameter of said real handwriting trace into a picture file;

a memory device linked to said system-device communication interface, wherein said memory device is employed for saving said picture file; and

a working system linked to said system-device communication interface, wherein said working system is employed for outputting said picture file into an application software and presenting said real handwriting trace in a file of said application software.

12. The system according to claim 11, wherein said parameters comprise absolute coordinate data.

13. The system according to claim 11, wherein said parameters comprise pressure data.

14. The system according to claim 11, wherein said system-device communication interface comprises Wintab interface.

15. The system according to claim 11, wherein said system-device communication interface comprises a trace processing.

16. The system according to claim 11, wherein said picture file is output into said application software by object linking and embedding technology.

17. The system according to claim 11, wherein said picture file is output into said application software by clipboard technology.

18. A method for presenting real handwriting trace, comprising:

inputting real handwriting trace into an inputting device;

transferring a plurality of parameter of said real handwriting trace into a picture file;

outputting said picture file into a file of an application software; and

presenting said real handwriting trace.

19. The method according to claim 18, wherein said parameters comprise absolute coordinate data.

20. The method according to claim 18, wherein said parameters comprise pressure data.

21. The method according to claim 18, further comprising a step for saving said picture file into a memory device after transferring said real handwriting trace into said picture file.

22. The method according to claim 18, further comprising a step for determining whether said application software supporting object linking and embedding technology.

23. The method according to claim 22, wherein said picture file is embedded into said file of said application by object linking and embedding technology when said application supporting object linking and embedding technology.

24. The method according to claim 22, wherein said picture file is pasted into said file of said application by clipboard technology when said application not supporting object linking and embedding technology.
