Abstract

An accessory for digitally recording writing on a surface includes an accessory body, a sensing panel, a gyroscope, an accelerating sensor, and a processor. The accessory body is fastened to a pen. The sensing panel is located on the accessory body to sense being held in a hand. The gyroscope can determine an inclination angle shift of the body relative to a predefined writing plane. The accelerating sensor can detect an offset of the body within the predefined writing plane. The processor can simulate the writing according to the inclination angle shift and the offset and record and display the writing.

Claims

1. A attachable accessory for recording a writing digitally comprising:

a body fastened to a pen;

a sensing panel located on the body to sense a hand holding;

a gyroscope configured to determine an inclination angle shift of the body relative to a predefined writing plane;

an accelerating sensor configured to detect an offset of the body within the predefined writing plane; and

a processor being configured to simulate the writing according to the inclination angle shift and the offset.

2. The attachable accessory of claim 1, further comprising a battery located on the body.

3. The attachable accessory of claim 1, wherein the body is deformably fastened to the pen.

4. The attachable accessory of claim 1, wherein the sensing panel is covered on the body.

5. The attachable accessory of claim 1, wherein a cross section of the body is substantially C-shaped.

6. The attachable accessory of claim 1, further comprising a locator, wherein the locator is configured to detect a lifting distance between the gyroscope and the surface along the pen.

7. The attachable accessory of claim 6, wherein the processor is configured to calculate a practical writing on the surface according to the lifting distance and the simulated writing.

8. The attachable accessory of claim 1, further comprising a wireless module, wherein the processor is further configured to send the simulated writing through the wireless module.

9. The attachable accessory of claim 1, further a controller, wherein the controller is configured to set the predefined plane, and control the sensing panel and the gyroscope.

10. A method for computer recording of writing digitally comprising:

attaching a attachable accessory on a pen;

defining a writing plane of the pen;

determining an inclination angle shift of a body of the attachable accessory relative to the writing plane through a gyroscope;

sensing a hand holding through a sensing panel on the body;

detecting an offset of the body within the predefined writing plane through an accelerating sensor; and

simulating the writing according to the inclination angle shift and the offset through a processor.

11. The method of claim 10, further comprising detecting a lifting distance between the gyroscope and the surface along the pen.

12. The method of claim 11, further comprising calculating a practical writing on a surface according to the lifting distance and the simulated writing.

13. The method of claim 10, further comprising sending the simulated writing through a wireless module.

14. The method of claim 10, wherein the body is deformably fastened to the pen.

15. The method of claim 10, wherein the sensing panel is covered on the body.

16. The method of claim 10, wherein a cross section of the body is substantially C-shaped.

17. A manual writing accessory for recording manual writing on a predetermined writing plane, comprising:

an attachable body, attachable to a manual writing implement;

a sensing panel attached to the attachable body;

a gyroscope to determine a position of a tip of the manual writing implement relative to the predetermined writing plane;

an accelerating sensor for sensing movement of the tip relative to the predetermined writing plane; and

a processor;

wherein, the sensor determines when the manual writing implement is held by a user and activates the gyroscope, accelerating sensor and processor;

wherein, processor receives position data from the gyroscope and movement data from the accelerating sensor and calculates data determining contact of the writing implement tip with the predetermined plane; and

wherein, tip contact data is used to simulate the manual writing of the manual implement user.
