Abstract
Methods, systems, and media are disclosed for altering the captured input within a digital pen. One embodiment includes capturing the input by the digital pen, wherein the input comprises dots and measurements. Further, the method includes modifying, within the digital pen, the input based on an attribute selected for the input, wherein the modifying produces a modified input. Such modifying may occur by conversion functions, such as to a preferred input format, e.g., Excel® spreadsheet, or a preferred stylistic format, e.g., black 12 point font, wherein the conversion functions modify the input to affect such preferences based on a position of one or more selectors located on the exterior of the digital pen. Finally, the method includes transmitting the modified input to a computer system in wireless communication, for example, with the digital pen.

8. A digital pen, comprising:
-
an interior portion and an exterior portion of the digital pen;
an optical sensor, protruding from the interior portion to the exterior portion, for reading input, wherein the input comprises dots and measurements;
memory, in the interior portion and in communication with the optical sensor, for capturing the input read by the optical sensor;
one or more selectors located on the exterior portion, wherein the position of the one or more selectors sets one or more attributes for applying to the input;
an application, in the interior portion and in communication with the memory, wherein the application modifies the input based on the position of the one or more selectors in order to produce a modified input; and
a processor, in the interior portion and in communication with the optical sensor, the memory, the one or more selectors, and the application. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
