Transcription system kit for forming composite images
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A kit for use with a transcription system which includes a plurality of signal receivers for positioning adjacent a writing surface and for receiving position signals transmitted from a stylus through the air when the stylus is positioned over the writing surface, the transcription system recording writing performed by the stylus on the writing surface, the kit comprising:
- a background image coupleable to the writing surface; and
a computer readable medium including logic for determining a non-predetermined position of the background image relative to the plurality of signal receivers using times of flight of position signals transmitted from the stylus, logic for recording writing by the stylus on or over the background image by detecting positions of the stylus relative to the writing surface using times of flight of position signals transmitted from the stylus, and logic for forming a composite image by combining an electronic version of the background image with the recorded writing.

17. Computer readable medium for use with a transcription system which includes a plurality of signal receivers for positioning adjacent a writing surface and for receiving position signals transmitted from a stylus when the stylus is positioned adjacent the writing surface, the transcription system recording writing performed by the stylus on the writing surface, the computer readable medium comprising
logic for determining a non-predetermined position of a background image positioned adjacent the writing surface relative to the plurality of signal receivers using times of flight of position signals transmitted from the stylus to the plurality of signal receivers, logic for recording writing by the stylus on or over the background image by detecting positions of the stylus relative to the writing surface using times of flight of position signals transmitted from the stylus, and logic for forming a composite image by combining an electronic version of the background image with the recorded writing.

28. A method for use with a transcription system which includes a plurality of signal receivers for positioning adjacent a writing surface and for receiving position signals transmitted from a stylus when the stylus is positioned adjacent the writing surface, the signal receivers producing timing signals in response to receiving the position signals from the stylus, the method including:
-
positioning a background image adjacent the writing surface at a non-predetermined position relative to the plurality of signal receivers such that the background image can be seen by a user;
having the transcription system determine the non-predetermined position of the background image relative to the signal receivers using times of flight of position signals transmitted from the stylus to the plurality of signal receivers, having the user write on or over the background image using the stylus such that the user sees a composite image comprising the background image and the writing;
having the transcription system record the writing on or over background image by detecting positions of the stylus relative to background image on the writing surface using times of flight of position signals transmitted from the stylus; and
having the transcription system create an electronic equivalent of the composite image by combining an electronic version of the background image with the recorded writing. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48)
