Notetaking system incorporating coded data sensor
First Claim
1. A system for enabling handwritten note taking and retrieval, the system including:
- at least one form printable on a surface, said form containing information relating to a notebook activity and including coded data indicative of an identity of said form and of at least one reference point of said form;
a printer for printing the form such that the information and the coded data are printed substantially simultaneously; and
a computer system for receiving indicating data from a sensing device operated by a user involved in the notebook activity, said indicating data regarding the identity of said form and at least one of a position and a movement of the sensing device relative to said form, said computer system including means for identifying, from the indicating data, at least one parameter relating to the notebook activity,the sensing device comprising;
(a) an image sensor configures to capture images of at least some of the coded data when the sensing device is placed in an operative position relative to the form; and
(b) a processor configured to;
(i) identify at least some of the coded data from one or more of the captured images;
(ii) determine an orientation, within the captured images, of at least some of the coded data;
(iii) decode at least some of the coded data; and
(iv) generate at least part of the indicating data using at least some of the decoded coded data.

Abstract
A system for enabling handwritten note taking and retrieval, the system including at least one form printable on a surface, said form containing information relating to a notebook activity and including coded data indicative of an identity of said form and of at least one reference point of said form; and a computer system for receiving indicating data from a sensing device operated by a user involved in the notebook activity, said indicating data regarding the identity of said form and at least one of a position and a movement of the sensing device relative to said form, said computer system including means for identifying, from the indicating data, at least one parameter relating to the notebook activity.

12. A system for enabling handwritten note taking and retrieval, the system including:
-
at least one form printable on an interactive surface, said form containing information relating to a notebook activity and including coded data indicative of at least one parameter of the notebook activity; a printer for printing the form such that the information and the coded data are printed substantially simultaneously; and a computer system for receiving data from a sensing device operated by the notebook user, said data regarding at least one of a movement and a position of the sensing device relative to said form, and for interpreting at least one of said movement and said position of the sensing device as it relates to said at least one parameter, the sensing device comprising; (a) an image sensor configured to capture images of at least some of the coded data when the sensing device is placed in an operative position relative to the form; and (b) a processor configured to; (i) identify at least some of the coded data from one or more of the captured images; (ii) determine an orientation, within the captured images, of at least some of the coded data; (iii) decode at least some of the coded data; and (iv) generate at least part of the data regarding at least one of the movement and the position of the sensing device relative to the form using at least some of the decoded coded data. - View Dependent Claims (13)

14. A system for enabling handwritten note taking and retrieval, the system including:
-
a form including coded data indicative of an identity of the form; a printer for printing the form such that the information and the coded data are printed substantially simultaneously; and a computer system for receiving from a sensing device data regarding an identity of a notebook user and the identity of said form, and for identifying, from said received data, a notebook activity, the sensing device containing the data regarding the identity of the user and comprising; (a) an image sensor configured to capture images of at least some of the coded data when the sensing device is placed in an operative position relative to the form; and (b) a processor configured to; (i) identify at least some of the coded data from one or more of the captured images; (ii) determine an orientation, within the captured images, of at least some of the coded data; (iii) decode at least some of the coded data; and (iv) generate at least part of the data regarding the identity of the form using at least some of the decoded coded data. - View Dependent Claims (15)
