An ink file output method is provided, which includes: generating M (M is an integer of 1 or more) pieces of stroke data SD on the basis of event data generated as M input devices move, respectively; generating N (N is an integer of 1 or more and M or less) kinds of logical names LN (metadata) identifying the M number of input devices; generating a metadata block associating the M pieces of stroke data SD with the N kinds of logical names LN; and writing the M pieces of stroke data SD and the metadata block to an ink file.

Ink file searching method, apparatus, and program

A position detecting sensor includes a plurality of first electrodes arranged in a first direction; and a plurality of second electrodes arranged in a second direction intersecting the first direction. The plurality of first electrodes and the plurality of second electrodes are formed in a mesh form. One or both of: (i) a width of each of the plurality of first electrodes in an arrangement direction of the plurality of first electrodes is different from a width of each of the plurality of second electrodes in an arrangement direction of the plurality of second electrodes, and (ii) a mesh density of each of the plurality of first electrodes is different from a mesh density of each of the plurality of second electrodes.

Ink file output method, output device, and program

A method of determining which search target vector from a plurality of search target vectors is closest to an input vector. A device to perform the method is also disclosed. Rather then perform a distance calculation for each and every search target vector, the disclosed method narrows the field of the search through a simple process. The input vector is compared to each search target vector, and a mask is used to evaluate the result of the comparison. Then, the actual distance is calculated for those search target vectors within a search range of the input vector.
