PAGE CHANGE INDICATION DEVICES AND METHODS FOR DIGITAL PENS
First Claim
1. A digital pen input system for allowing a user to write or draw by interacting with sheets of paper and allowing electronic tracing of pen movements for digital storage or display, the input device comprising a holder for sheets of paper, and a unit for detecting exchange of a current sheet, the system comprising:
- a page change-intrinsic event detector for detecting an action being a direct part of said exchange of a current sheet;
a data-stream insertion unit for inserting a new page indicator into a data stream emerging from said pen movements, at a location in said stream indicated by a time of said detecting, said new page indicator being a display instruction to separately display pen movements located before and after said new page indicator as separate pages.

Abstract
A digital pen input system for allowing a user to write or draw by interacting with sheets of paper and allowing electronic tracing of pen movements for digital storage or display, the input device comprising a holder for sheets of paper, and a unit for detecting exchange of a current sheet, the system comprising: an autonomous page changing detector for autonomously detecting an action being a direct part of the exchange of a current sheet; and a data-stream insertion unit for inserting a new page indicator into a data stream emerging from the pen movements, at a location in the stream indicated by a time of the detecting, the new page indicator being a display instruction to separately display pen movements located before and after the new page indicator as separate pages.

19. A digital pen input method for allowing a user to write or draw by interacting with sheets of paper and allowing electronic tracing of pen movements for digital storage or display, the input device comprising a holder for sheets of paper, and a unit for detecting exchange of a current sheet, the method comprising:
-
detecting an action being a direct part of said exchange of a current sheet; inserting a new page indicator into a data stream emerging from said pen movements, at a location in said stream indicated by a time of said detecting, said new page indicator being a display instruction to separately display pen movements located before and after said new page indicator as separate pages.

20. A detector assembly for use in a transcription system, the detector assembly comprising:
-
a housing for removeably mounting adjacent a writing surface; a plurality of signal receivers attached to the housing for receiving position signals transmitted through the air from a pen when the pen is positioned adjacent the writing surface, the transcription system using times of flight of the position signals to determine positions of the pen relative to the writing surface, and converting said detected positions into a datastream; and an event detector operative for detecting one or more user actions intrinsic to data input, and for converting said detected intrinsic action into a function relating to said datastream. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22)
