Embodiments of a present disclosure relate to an electronic input device and
more particularly to, an electronic input writing device for digital creation and a
method for operating the same.
BACKGROUND
[0002] An electronic input writing device is an electronic input device that digitally
captures writing gestures of a user and converts the captured gestures to digital
information which may be utilized in a variety of applications. There are several
electronic writing devices for entering data into a computing device such as keyboard,
styluses and pen.
[0003] Furthermore, pen-based digital devices have been introduced, for capturing
the gestures and converting the same to digital information, which are useful, portable
and greatly desired. The user of such devices may often desire to share the pen-based
digital device with others. With advancement in technology, some pen based digital
devices have been introduced which captures a handwriting of the user and converts a
handwritten information into digital data. However, these devices do not produce an
accurate recording of the text or graphics that have been input via the writing surface.
Considerable information indicative of the motion of the pen is lost in the processing
of data. One reason is that data describing the motion of the pen is under sampled.
[0004] Also, existing devices utilize accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer
to determine the position of the writing device on the physical surface. The
accelerometer and gyroscope are being used to provide a frame of reference to the
position information which is collected by the accelerometer. However, use of
positional sensor along with the accelerometer and the gyroscope results in increase
in cost of the writing device. Moreover, few writing devices exist which calculate the
position of the writing device using the acceleration received from the accelerometer.
By double integrating the acceleration and using the high frequency noise from the
accelerometer, the position of the writing device on the physical surface may be
determined. However, in such devices, constants of integration results in large DC
errors.
3
[0005] As information technology (IT) penetrates all commercial and public
transactions and communications, it is important to ensure accessibility to everyone.
Many countries have begun to define new regulations and standards to enable people
with disabilities to easily access information technology. Currently available
assistance for blind and visually impaired people comprises a wide range of technical
solutions, including document scanners and enlargers, interactive speech software and
cognitive tools, screen reader software and screen enlargement programs. However,
such solutions suffer from a variety of functional and operational deficiencies that
limit their usefulness.
[0006] Hence, there is a need for an improved electronic input writing device for
digital creation to address the aforementioned issue(s).
