16. A device for recognizing writing on a writing surface, comprising:
-
a writing instrument including a writing tip, a plurality of accelerometers for detecting motion of the writing tip, a pressure sensor connected to the writing tip, at least one signal receiver, a memory device and a processor, wherein the processor is in communication with the accelerometers, the pressure sensor, the signal receiver and the memory device; and a writing surface position indicator removeably attachable to the writing surface, the writing surface position indicator including at least one signal transmitter for transmitting a signal to be received by the signal receiver of the writing instrument, wherein the memory device includes instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to recognize markings made by the writing tip on the writing surface based on inputs from the accelerometers, the pressure sensor and the signal receiver. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
