General information management system
First Claim
1. A digital pen for processing position information associated with a product, the position information being a subset of a predefined position-coding pattern, the digital pen comprising:
- a memory storing a template that correlates selected position information with at least one predefined field, the memory further storing an operation associated with the predefined field, wherein the template further includes information that defines a logical layout and size common to a plurality of pages, the logical layout including said at least one predefined field;
a sensor detecting position information from a product; and
a processor determining whether the position information detected by the sensor corresponds to the at least one predefined field, the processor initiating the associated operation when the detected position information corresponds to the predefined field by processing at least a portion of the subset of the predefined position-coding pattern independent of use of an external device.

Abstract
An information management system is intended for management of digitally represented information which is associated with absolute positions on an imaginary surface (200). The imaginary surface (200) contains at least two regions (201-208), each of which is dedicated to predetermined management of the digitally represented information. In the system the management of the digitally represented information is carried out on the basis of the region affiliation of the absolute positions associated with the information. The system is suitably based on use of a position-coding pattern which defines the imaginary surface (200) and which in parts is applicable on different bases. The system makes possible both digital recording of information and control of how the information thus recorded is to be managed.
A database, a method for management of information, a method for compiling a pattern layout, a product and use are also described.

9. A method for processing position information associated with a product, the position information being a subset of a predefined position-coding pattern, the method being executed by a digital pen and comprising:
-
detecting position information associated with a product using a sensor on the digital pen; accessing a template that correlates selected position information with at least one predefined field, the template being stored within a memory of the digital pen and including information that defines a logical layout and size common to a plurality of pages, the logical layout including said at least one predefined field; determining whether the detected position information corresponds to the at least one predefined field of the template; and initiating at least one operation associated with the at least one predefined field when the detected position information corresponds to the predefined field of the template, wherein the at least one operation is stored in the memory of the digital pen and is initiated by processing at least a portion of the subset of the predefined position-coding pattern independent of use of an external device. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
