ORGANIZATION OF USER GENERATED CONTENT CAPTURED BY A SMART PEN COMPUTING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method for generating a virtual page the method comprising:
- capturing data from a first physical source using a smart pen;
capturing data from a second physical source using the smart pen;
transferring the data captured from the first physical source and the data captured from the second physical source to a digital domain;
receiving an input associating the data captured from the first physical source and the data captured from the second physical source; and
generating the virtual page including the data captured from the first physical source and the second physical source based on the input.

Abstract
In a pen-based computing system, use of paradigms similar to those used with physical paper to organize user generated content captured by a smart pen is disclosed. Data, such as handwriting gestures, is captured by the smart pen and transferred to a digital domain, such as by being transferred to a computing system. Once in the digital domain, the captured content is organized as virtual pages or virtual notebooks. Hence, content captured from various sources, such as different notebooks or different physical pieces of paper, is assembled into a virtual page or virtual notebook. User input or automatic application of rules can be used to assemble the captured content into a virtual page or virtual notebook.
