Abstract

A handwriting recording apparatus is provided. The handwriting recording apparatus includes a pen-shaped housing, a timer unit, a compass, a microprocessing unit, and a storage unit. The compass is equipped to the pen-shaped housing for detecting a moving direction of a motion of the pen-shaped housing. The timer unit is equipped inside the pen-shaped housing for recording a time data related to the motion of the pen-shaped housing. The microprocessing unit is equipped inside the pen-shaped housing for obtaining a motion vector of the pen-shaped housing according to the moving direction and the time data, and comparing the motion vector with a word data to generate a text file. The storage unit is equipped inside the pen-shaped housing for storing the text file so as to provide the text file for an external computer system to process or use.

Claims

1. A handwriting recording apparatus, comprising:

a pen-shaped housing;

a compass, equipped to the pen-shaped housing, capable of detecting a moving direction of a motion of the pen-shaped housing;

a timer unit, equipped inside the pen-shaped housing, capable of recording a time data related to the motion of the pen-shaped housing;

a microprocessing unit, equipped inside the pen-shaped housing, capable of obtaining a motion vector of the pen-shaped housing according to the moving direction detected by the compass and the time data recorded by the timer unit, and comparing the motion vector with a word data to generate a text file; and

a storage unit, equipped inside the pen-shaped housing, capable of storing the text file generated by the microprocessing unit.

2. The handwriting recording apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a vector calculation subunit, capable of calculating a moving distance according to a predetermined speed parameter and the time data generated by the timer unit, and obtaining the motion vector by combining the moving distance with the moving direction detected by the compass; and

a determination subunit, capable of comparing the motion vector generated by the vector calculation subunit with a word data pre-stored in a database, so as to generate a text data and store the text data with a text file corresponding to the text data.

3. The handwriting recording apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a transmitting interface, capable of transmitting the text file stored in the storage unit to an external processing system which is out of the handwriting recording apparatus.

4. The handwriting recording apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the transmitting interface is a USB wired transmitting interface.

5. The handwriting recording apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the transmitting interface is a short distance wireless communication interface.

6. The handwriting recording apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a power supply unit, capable of supplying power to the microprocessing unit and the compass.

7. The handwriting recording apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a music player module, capable of storing at least one music file in the storage unit, and control the microprocessing unit to play the music file.
