3. PREAMBLE OF THE DESCRIPTION
The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a stylus based mobile application fordysgraphia which can be used to analyse the hand writing as well as help in improving bad handwriting of Dysgraphia children.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Today the school going children are facing the hand writing problem and because of bad handwriting even the laborious and studious failed to have good marks and grades in school examinations.

As described in detail inUS20050197158Al, a mobile telecommunications device
comprising: a first receiver for receiving signals from a mobile telephony system; a first
transmitter for transmitting signals over the mobile telephony system; and a styhis allowing
the user to use the mobiletelecommunications device as a writing or drawing device. .»,
As described in US 13793478, techniques arc disclosed for interacting with a computing device using a stylus. The stylus is configured with a touch-sensitive control feature that can be activated to perform various actions while the stylus is touching or otherwise sufficiently proximate to a stylus detection surface of the device.
The present invention of stylus based mobile application can be used to improve the bad or poor hand writing in an interesting way with the help of practise worksheets.
OBJECTIVE OF THE INVENTION
The objectives of the present invention are given below;
1. To design a stylus that will provide better grip and posture of the stylus in the hand
of the kid.
2. To enable the child to write for a longer time without getting cramping in the palm by providing a comfortable stylus.
3. To detect whether the child really suffers from Dysgraphia or just possesses bad handwriting.
4. To integrate the art of graphology for analyzing the child's personality.
5. To provide tips and suggestions to the child based on handwriting that will tend to improve the personality with respect to their handwriting.
6. To help parents keep a track of the child's handwriting improvement by conducting tests on a weekly or monthly basis, depending on the child choice.
7. To allow the Dysgraphic child to play games to improve their fine motor skills.
*
8. To help the Dysgraphic child improve their spellings and memory power through
playing various educative games.
■■
9. To enable the children to complete their worksheets using the application and stylus
developed.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention consists of stylus based mobile application which can be used to
analyse the hand writing as well as to detect learning disabilities Dysgraphia in children. The
present invention of stylus based mobile application can be used to improve the bad or poor
hand writing in an interesting way with the help of game play and practise worksheets.
In one embodiment, a stylus based mobile application for Dysgraphia which comprising of:
(i) a stretchable band;
(ii) a space provided in between and rest it on the area provided before the tip of the stylus;
(iii) a ring band and
(iv) the tip of the stylus that is circular and not pointed.
In another embodiment, the design of the stylus proposed is in such a shape that intends to
provide better grip and comfort while writing to the child.
In yet another embodiment, the stylus will have a stretchable band of varying length attached
to it at the top.
In yet another embodiment, the band must be rolled on the wrist of the user to provide proper
alignment to the user.
In another embodiment, the length of the band is kept varying i.e. it is long enough to be
adjustable for every user irrespective of their wrist's size.
In yet another embodiment, the child is expected to take his/her index finger through the
space provided in between and rest it on the area provided before the tip of the stylus.
In another embodiment, the ring band that will be made of silicon or rubber material to keep
the index finger at rest and in a proper position while writing.
In yet another embodiment, the tip of the stylus that is circular and not pointed.
In yet another embodiment, durable Soft Touch tip protects screen from smears, scratches
and fingerprints and will keep touch screen free from scratches and fingerprint.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The proposed design of a stylus for Dysgraphic children is given in the figure below:
Fig 1: An illustration the shape of the stylus.
As seen in Fig 1, the design of the stylus proposed is in such a shape that intends to provide
better grip and comfort while writing to the child.
The notation 1 describes that the stylus will have a stretchable band of varying length
attached to it at the top. The band must be rolled on the wrist of the user to provide proper
alignment to the user. The length of the band is kept varying i.e. it is long enough to be
adjustable for every user irrespective of their wrist's size.
The notation 2 explains the shape of the stylus. The child is expected to take his/her index
finger through the space provided in between and rest it on the area provided before the tip of
the stylus.
Notation 3 is the ring band that will be made of silicon or rubber material to keep the index
finger at rest and in a proper position while writing.
Notation 4 describes the tip of the stylus that is circular and not pointed. Durable Soft Touch tip protects screen from smears, scratches and fingerprints. It will keep your touch screen free from scratches and fingerprint
Fig 2: An illustration of how the child will hold the stylus while writing.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The invention is an assistive tool kit that comprises of an android based application along
with an assistive stylus. The core concept of the invention is to provide aid i.e., help, to
children suffering from Dysgraphia. The stylus would be designed in such a way that it will
improve the grip of that stylus in the palm of the child. The application software will be
having its key feature that will use handwriting analysis to analyze the child's handwriting to
determine his/her strengths and weaknesses. The application will also help the child to
improve his/her handwriting by giving suggestions on correct character formation and keep a
trackof the improvement. Based on the standard parameters, the mobile application will also
be detecting Dysgraphia. The games included in the application will intend to improve the
affected skills of the Dysgraphic child. >'7 •*• »
In one embodiment, a stylus based mobile applicationfordysgraphia which comprising of a stretchable band, a space provided in between and rest it on the area provided before the tip of the stylus, a ring band, and a tip of the stylus that is circular and not pointed. The design of the stylus proposed is in such a shape that intends to provide better grip and comfort while writing to the child. The stylus will have a stretchable band of varying length attached to it at the top. The band must be rolled on the wrist of the user to provide proper alignment to the user. The length of the band is kept varying i.e. it is long enough to be adjustable for every user irrespective of their wrist's size. The child is expected to take his/her index finger through the space provided in between and rest it on the area provided before the tip of the stylus.The ring band that will be made of silicon or rubber material to keep the index finger at rest and in a proper position while writing. The tip of the stylus that is circular and not pointed. A durable Soft Touch tip protects screen from smears, scratches and fingerprints and will keep touch screen free from scratches and fingerprint.
The assistive stylus will be compatible with any android mobile or tablet. But, tablets would be preferred since it gives more screen space for the students to write. The application is based on android operating system as android is an open source and widely used platform. Also, android provides various in-built API's useful for implementing various features of the application.
The shape of the assistive stylus is novel and designed in such a manner that it reduces the pressure on the index finger and gives proper grip in the palm. Handwriting analysis or Graphology is a very old technique used to determine a person's personality. Butitisgenerally carriedouton cursive handwriting. The application carries out handwriting analysis on the handwriting of a Dysgraphic child. The writing need not be in cursive, but in any form.
The stylus in the tool kit plays the major role as it helps the child have a comfortable grip and positioning in the palm. Since due to weak fine motor skills, the child does not hold the pencil/pen properly, the assistive stylus will be quite comfortable to use. Also, the handwriting is illegible at times because of improper pressure application. Thus, the stylus will be positioned at a proper inclination.
