1. An article of manufacture comprising:
- a writing surface including at least one region configured to accept handwriting information from at least one user,the at least one region further configured to receive at least one hand-formed machine-distinguishable identifier formed proximate to the at least one user'"'"'s handwriting information being accepted, the at least one hand-formed machine-distinguishable identifier being distinguishable from the at least one user'"'"'s handwriting information and keyed to at least one data receptor, the at least one hand-formed machine-distinguishable identifier being configured to be electronically distinguished by at least one processing device such that the information proximate to the at least one hand-formed machine-distinguishable identifier is electronically transmitted to the at least one data receptor, the at least one data receptor selected from at least one table correlating at least two machine-distinguishable identifiers with different applications, wherein each application is assigned to and performs a function associated with a corresponding machine-distinguishable identifier.

Abstract
Embodiments include an article of manufacture, apparatus, device, system, computer-program product, and method. In an embodiment, an article of manufacture includes a writing surface having at least two regions that accept handwriting. Each region of the at least two regions that accept handwriting respectively includes a unique user-understandable identifier and a unique machine-distinguishable identifier keyed to a data receptor.

12. A system comprising:
-
a writing surface including at least one region configured to accept handwriting information from at least one user, the at least one region being further configured to receive at least one hand-formed machine-distinguishable identifier formed proximate to the at least one user'"'"'s handwriting information being accepted, the at least one hand-formed machine-distinguishable identifier being distinguishable from the at least one user'"'"'s handwriting information and keyed to at least one data receptor, the at least one hand-formed machine-distinguishable identifier being configured to be electronically distinguishable by at least one processing device; and at least one memory that includes one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processing devices, performs the operations including at least; receiving a content signal indicative of a handwriting accepted by the at least one region; receiving a label signal indicative of at least one hand-formed machine-distinguishable identifier proximate to the handwriting; and in response to the signal indicative of the at least one hand-formed machine-distinguishable identifier, distributing a representation of the handwriting to at least one data receptor, the at least one data receptor selected from at least one table correlating at least two machine-distinguishable identifiers with different applications, wherein each application is assigned to and performs a function associated with a corresponding machine-distinguishable identifier.

13. A method comprising:
-
receiving at least one content signal indicative of handwriting information input by at least one user to a region configured to receive the handwriting information; receiving at least one label signal indicative of at least one hand-formed machine-distinguishable identifier formed proximate to the handwriting information being received, the at least one hand-formed machine-distinguishable identifier being distinguishable from the at least one user'"'"'s handwriting information and keyed to at least one data recipient, the at least one hand-formed machine-distinguishable identifier being configured to be electronically distinguished by at least one processing device; and in response to the label signal, distributing to the at least one data recipient a representation of the handwriting information proximate to the machine-distinguishable identifier, the at least one data recipient selected from at least one table correlating at least two machine-distinguishable identifiers with different applications, wherein each application is assigned to and performs a function associated with a corresponding machine-distinguishable identifier.

14. An article of manufacture comprising:
-
a writing surface having at least one region configured to accept handwriting information from at least one user, the region including at least one hand-formed machine-distinguishable identifier formed proximate to the handwriting information being accepted, the at least one hand-formed machine-distinguishable identifier being distinguishable from the at least one user'"'"'s handwriting information and keyed to at least one data receptor; and a detector operable to electronically distinguish the at least one hand-formed machine-distinguishable identifier formed proximate to the handwriting information and to distribute a representation of the handwriting information to the at least one data receptor keyed to the hand-formed machine-distinguishable identifier, the at least one data receptor selected from at least one table correlating at least two machine-distinguishable identifiers with different applications, wherein each application is assigned to and performs a function associated with a corresponding machine-distinguishable identifier.

15. A method comprising:
-
delineating at least one information acceptance region of a surface; accepting at least one hand-formed machine-distinguishable identifier keyed to at least one data recipient from at least one user via the information acceptance region; accepting information from the at least one user via the information acceptance region, the information formed proximate to the at least one hand-formed machine-distinguishable identifier, the at least one user'"'"'s information being distinguishable from the at least one hand-formed machine distinguishable identifier; and providing at least one of the information or a representation of the information to the at least one data recipient keyed to the at least one hand-formed machine-distinguishable identifier, the at least one data recipient selected from at least one table correlating at least two machine-distinguishable identifiers with different applications, wherein each application is assigned to and performs a function associated with a corresponding machine-distinguishable identifier. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
