Information management unit and method for controlling data flow from electronic pens
First Claim
1. An information management unit, which is arranged in an electronic network as a flow path controller for electronic data between electronic pens and destination units, the electronic data comprising handwriting data recorded by the electronic pens and one or more pen-resident parameters, said information management unit comprising:
- means for receiving at least part of the electronic data from an electronic pen;
means for storing at least one flow control object and an associated processing instruction, wherein said at least one flow control object corresponds to a value of at least one of the pen-resident parameters;
means for mapping the thus-received electronic data against said at least one flow control object to identify a relevant processing instruction; and
means for directing the electronic data flow to a destination unit based on the thus-identified processing instruction.

Abstract
An information management unit is arranged in an electronic network as a flow path controller for electronic data between electronic pens and destination units, the electronic data comprising handwriting data recorded by the electronic pens and one or more pen-resident parameters. The information management unit receives at least part of the electronic data from an electronic pen; maps the thus-received electronic data against one or more flow control objects to identify a relevant processing instruction, wherein the flow control object corresponds to a value of one of the pen-resident parameters; and directs the electronic data flow to a destination unit based on the thus-identified processing instruction.

23. A method of controlling a flow of electronic data between electronic pens and destination units in an electronic network, the electronic data comprising handwriting data recorded by the electronic pens and one or more pen-resident parameters, said method comprising:
-
receiving at least part of the electronic data from an electronic pen;
mapping the thus-received electronic data against at least one flow control object to identify a relevant processing instruction, wherein said at least one flow control object corresponds to a value of one of the pen-resident parameters; and
directing the electronic data flow to a destination unit based on the thus-identified processing instruction. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27)
