In an information management system for handling digital position data recorded by an electronic pen, the pen is controlled to convert recordings of a first code on a product to position data in a coordinate system, to convert recordings of a second code to input data, and to process the position data on the basis of the input data. The input data may define one or more functional areas in the coordinate system, and the pen may map the position data against the input data and take appropriate action if the position data is deemed to fall within a functional area. This allows the pen to be dynamically provided with a description of all or parts of the functional layout of a product, thereby reducing the need of the pen to pre-store such descriptions for all products. Encryption or usage may also be controlled based on data encoded by the second code. The product may be generated, via a computer-implemented method, to include the first code, the second code and any supporting graphics. The input data may alternatively be derived from another import interface of the pen, such as a communications interface or a replaceable memory unit.

Methods and systems for processing digitally recorded data in an electronic pen

An electronic pen for recording of handwritten or hand-drawn information has a control unit and a memory. The control unit registers pen movements across at least one base, stores a plurality of digital pen strokes in the memory as a function of said movements, and supplies a set of the digital pen strokes for processing. The digital pen strokes include a first type, which is processed as graphical information constituting the information to be recorded, and a second type, which is processed as instructions for the processing of digital pen strokes of the first type. The electronic pen may detect a current working session of the pen. The control unit indicates, for the processing of the set of digital pen strokes, the working session during which the respective digital pen strokes have been input.

Electronic pen and method for recording of handwritten information

The invention relates to a filing appliance, a system for information management, a method in a computer system, a computer program and a memory medium. The filing appliance includes a holder for holding a plurality of sheets, with at least one input field, which is provided with a position-coding pattern and is adapted to be filled in using a drawing device, which while using the position-coding pattern records positions in the input field in order to record information entered in the input field, and an initiation icon provided with a position-coding pattern, a marking of the initiation icon using the drawing device being adapted to initiate an operation in a computer system communicating with the drawing device, in which operation an information object is created, which is identifiable at least by information entered in the input field.

Device and system for information management utilizing a filing appliance

The present invention relates to managing of communication in a system, which system includes at least one user unitcapable of reading information from a surfaceand communicating at least part thereof to a servera look-up serverstoring information management rules associated with information read from the surface and at least one application serverThe user unitreceives an instruction with control data from the look-up serverand determines, based on these control data, if specific information data is allowed to be communicated by the user unit to a receiving application server in response to an instruction from an application server concerning these specific information data.
