- The present invention generally relates to writing mediums and devices that interact with writing mediums. More particularly, the present invention relates to interactive apparatus with recording and playback capability usable with encoded writing medium.
- 2. Related Art
- When the computer was introduced, there was initial thought that the computer would lead to a paperless world. However, the computer has created new uses for paper. Moreover, the paper environment continues to integrate with the electronic environment.
- Typically, technologies that merge the paper environment and the electronic environment are costly compared to a conventional sheet of paper. Further, these technologies simply duplicate the fundamental function of paper: storing a persistent image. None of these technologies bring interactive functionality to the paper environment.
- Further, when an audio recording device and a writing medium are utilized together, there is no link between the writing on the writing medium and the recorded audio. That is, the audio recording device and the writing medium operate independently of each other. It is inconvenient and difficult to efficiently utilize both the audio recording device and the writing medium at the same time. Moreover, the recorded audio and the writing medium may be separated from each other and lost.
- An interactive apparatus is disclosed. The interactive apparatus has an audio recording mode and an audio playback mode. Further, the interactive apparatus includes a writing tool for manually writing on an encoded writing medium, an audio input device for recording audio, an audio output device for playing the recorded audio. Moreover, the interactive apparatus has an optical unit for determining position on the encoded writing medium of the writing tool and for recognizing information on the encoded writing medium, wherein recognition of a recording-enabling graphical element on the encoded writing medium activates the audio recording mode and enables time-synchronization of creation of writing on the encoded writing medium with the writing tool and recording of the audio, and further wherein recognition of a playback-enabling graphical element on the encoded writing medium activates the audio playback mode and enables multiple techniques to control playback of the recorded audio.
- In an embodiment, the interactive apparatus further comprises a memory unit for storing recorded audio and information associated with said writing. Also, the interactive apparatus includes a communication device for transmitting the position of the graphical element and the associated recorded audio to a remote storage location. The communication device may be a wireless communication device. The encoded writing medium may be paper encoded with a grid of dots. The writing tool is may be one of a pen and a pencil.
- The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and form a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments of the invention and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the present invention.
