A method and system for electronic information sharing is implemented between two electronic reading devices. A first electronic reading device detects portions of an address pattern. The address pattern is formatted such that a position of the first electronic reading device relative to the address pattern can be determined from the detected portions of the address pattern. A communication interface between the first electronic reading device and a second electronic reading device facilitates a sharing of information between the electronic reading devices. For example, information relating to the portions of the address pattern detected by the first electronic reading device can be shared with the second electronic reading device.

Method for sharing information between electronic reading devices

A method and system for initiating functions on an electronic device includes using a sensor to detect a pattern on a specially formatted surface. The pattern can comprise an arrangement of dots, a particular symbol printed on the surface, or a specific pattern written with an electronic reading device. Using the detected pattern, a corresponding predefined function stored in a memory is identified and performed by a processor/controller. The electronic device can include an electronic reading device that includes the sensor and the processor/controller or can include a device that is separate from the sensor. Similarly, the function can be stored in the electronic reading device, in the electronic device that performs the function, or in an external server. The specially formatted surface preferably comprises a paper having preprinted areas associated with particular functions and/or applications executable on the electronic device.

A system and method for providing user input to a device of any type uses an electronic reader. The device can be any type of physical object and includes an address pattern statically printed thereon or generated in the background of a display. By detecting a portion of the address pattern, the device can be identified and a particular location on the device can be determined. This information can be used to control or otherwise provide input to the device, such as when the device is an electronic device, or to initiate a function or store information relating to one or more detected positions of the electronic reader.

Method and system for using an electronic reading device on non-paper devices

A liquid-crystal display (LCD) comprises an LCD device, including a substrate ( ) with substrate pads ( ) on the top surface of the substrate ( ) and a chip ( ) with chip electrodes ( ) operatively connected to said substrate pads ( ). Additionally, an interposer device ( ) is mounted between the chip ( ) and the substrate ( ), wherein the interposer device ( ) inter-connects the substrate pads ( ) configured in a first pattern with the electrodes ( ) configured in an arbitrary second pattern on the chip area, wherein the electrodes ( ) have a reduced electrode pitch essentially smaller than said pad pitch.
