System and method for associating handwritten information with one or more objects
First Claim
1. A method of capturing and processing data from an input received by a handwriting capture device, the method comprising:
- sensing an identifier associated with an object, wherein sensing an identifier includes one of;
prompting a user to operate the device to sense the identifier by controlling vibration of a writing stylus; and
automatically sensing the identifier independent of user operation of the device to sense the identifier;
capturing an electronic handwriting input based upon a position of the writing stylus; and
associating the electronic handwriting input with the sensed identifier to thereby associate the electronic handwriting input with the object associated with the identifier.

Abstract
A pen-enabled computing arrangement includes a handwriting capture interface and at least one processing element, such as in the form of a computing system and a digital pen that embodies a writing stylus. The handwriting capture interface can capture an electronic handwriting input. The processing element can sense an identifier associated with an object, and associate electronic handwriting input with the object. The processing element can then process the electronic handwriting input based upon the associated object. Printed paper with which the arrangement can operate to effectuate capturing and processing data may also be provided. Further, triggered verification of the sensed identifier may be provided when the identifier is sensed based upon initial electronic handwriting input corresponding to the identifier and the sensed identifier is unknown and/or improper.

receiving printed paper including an identifier associated with an object, the printed paper having been received by;
selecting a plurality of object elements, the selected object elements including an identifier independent of an object;
associating the selected object elements with one another, including associating the identifier with the object; and
printing, on a piece of paper, at least one of at least one associated object element, a representation of at least one associated object element and information related to at least one associated object element, wherein the resulting printed paper includes the identifier printed thereon, and wherein the resulting printed paper is received;
sensing the identifier from the printed paper;
capturing an electronic handwriting input based upon a position of the writing stylus with respect to the printed paper; and
associating the electronic handwriting input with the sensed identifier to thereby associate the electronic handwriting input with the object associated with the identifier. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)

34. A method of capturing and data from an input received by a handwriting capture device, the method comprising:
-
sensing an identifier associated with an object, wherein sensing an identifier comprises;
capturing initial electronic handwriting input corresponding to the identifier;
converting the initial electronic handwriting input into a text representation of the electronic handwriting input; and
sensing the identifier based upon the text representation of the initial electronic handwriting input;
triggering verification of the identifier when the sensed identifier is at least one of unknown and improper, wherein triggering verification includes receiving at least a portion of the identifier such that the sensed identifier including the received portion is at least one of known and proper;
capturing an electronic handwriting input based upon a position of a writing stylus; and
associating the electronic handwriting input with the sensed identifier to thereby associate the electronic handwriting input with the object associated with the identifier. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47)
