SMART NOTE TAKER

INTRODUCTIONSmart Note Taker is basically a pen

which is a very useful product, that could satisfy the needs of people in today’s technological and fast life.

With the help of smart note taker, people will be able to make notes in air or on paper,while being busy with their work.

The pen has a memory chip in it,in which the written notes or the figure drawn in the air will be stored and the person will be able to read in digital medium after the job is done.

This will save time and facilitate life as it can replace the hand-written notes.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

CONSTRUCTION : Since, JAVA applet is suitable for both the drawings and strings, all these applications can be put together by developing a single JAVA applet program.

APPLET : Applet is a function of JAVA which for example, is a kind of container

or similar to a file, which contains a set of programs made in JAVA .

• DATABASE : The system installed in the pen will consist of a database which will help the processor to recognize various words made visually in the air

INTERIOR STRUCTURE

•Electronic Pen•Memory Unit• 1 Refill•Rechargable Battery•Motion Sensor•Note Taker Software on CD-ROM•USB cable

WORKINGWorking can be explained in three steps :

CAPTURE, ORGANIZE & SHARE THE NOTES DIGITALLY-ANYWHERE,ANYTIME!

It uses special pen that comprises of sensors, memory, processor, battery and display unit. When we write,it tries to detect the shape and captures the motion and then display it on the monitor. Now this information can be sent to others by connecting the pen to a PC directly.

FEATURESSmart note taker is a reliable and powerful

product.Simply write your text using the provided

ink pen. Then these handwritten notes can be converted into editable text.

Easy-to-use wireless connection.We can write our notes anytime, anywhere! When we are back to our PC, by simply connecting the USB receiver/cable, notes will be instantly converted.

Writes on normal paper also with normal ink refill.

The product will be able to sense 3D shapes and motions that user tries to draw.

An additional feature of the product is that it monitors the notes which were taken before, on the application program used in the computer.

CURRENT PRODUCTS

PC NOTE TAKERPC Notes Taker is the world’s first device that captures natural handwriting on any surface onto a PC in no time. Based on an evolutionary electronic pen, PC Notes Taker displays the users handwritten notes, memos or drawings on the computer, and stores the image for future use.

PC NOTE TAKER

MOBILE NOTE TAKER

.

It is the world’s first device that captures handwriting based on natural handwriting as an input and rest it works same as PC Note Taker.

Mobile Note Taker works in two modes : Mobile Mode and Connected Mode.In Mobile Mode note taker receiver unit is not connected to a PC via USB cable. In Connected Mode, the base unit is connected to a PC through USB cable.

HANDWRITING RECOGNITION

Smart Note Taker works by measuring the pen’s movements and matching them to the movements that produce letters and words programmed into its memory. There are two technologies used for this purpose :

1. Accelerometer Technology.2. Handwriting Recognition Software.

ACCELEROMETER TECHNOLOGY :

This technology uses a device called accelerometer which is used for measuring motion. A tiny accelerometer in the pen could be used to detect the stops and starts, arcs and loops of handwriting, and transmit this information to a small microprocessor that would make sense of it as text. Invisible writing in air is achieved through this unique technology called accelerometer that monitors hand movements.

HANDWRITING RECOGNITION

SOFTWARE :

This software, embedded in the pen is used to recognize handwriting of the user. Pen works in conjunction with a regular PC on to which users install special handwriting recognition software. The handwriting recognition software translates movements in to text on screen.

ADVANTAGESWe get information in very fast and easy way.

Hence it is time saving.Can be used as a standard pen and we can

carry it anywhere without stressing mind to carry it.

With the help of smart note taker, we can write notes on any surface even in air. That is, we can write notes any time without using a paper.

It has high mobility, versatile design and is light weighted.

Can be used for phone talks or by instructors.

It is used along with paint and JAVA graphics so we can say this product is compatible with all graphics software.

DISADVANTAGES

•Expensive, hence not everyone can afford to buy it.•No templates and other sophisticated formats available.•Can’t drag items to other tabs directly.•Awareness required among people. •Contents are stored in binary & no history of contents available.

APPLICATIONSWith the help of smart note taker,

handwritten notes will be instantly converted into editable text.

It is good and helpful for blinds who think and write freely.

It plays an important role in phone conversations between two people. While they talk, they may want to use figures or texts to understand themselves better.

• Useful for instructors in presentations. The instructor may not want to present lecture in front of the board. The drawn figure can be processed and directly sent to the server computer in the room. The server computer will then broadcast the drawn shape through network to all of the computers which are present in the room.• Can be used by teachers directly or

indirectly, and by students too.
