An electronic device adapted to apply information to a surface, the electronic device comprising:
- a writing element adapted to apply a writing matcrial to the surface;
- [[and]]
- a first detection circuit comprising a camera adapted to detect the writing applied to the surface;
- a second detection circuit comprising a motion detector adapted to detect a motion of the electronic device with respect to the surface;
- and
- a control circuit coupled to the first detection circuit and the second detection circuit:
- wherein the control circuit receives inputs from the first detection circuit identifying portions of the writing in a plurality of images captured by the camera and inputs from the second detection circuit associated with motions of the electronic device to enable creating a single image based upon the plurality of images.
An electronic device adapted to apply information to a surface, the electronic device comprising:
- a writing element adapted to apply a writing to the surface;
- a first detection circuit comprising a camera adapted to detect the writing applied to the surface;
- a second detection circuit comprising a motion detector adapted to detect a motion of the electronic device with respect to the surface;
- a control circuit coupled to the first detection circuit and the second detection circuit, wherein the control circuit receives inputs from first detection circuit identifying portions of the writing in a plurality of images captured by the camera and inputs from the second detection circuit associated with motions of the electronic device to enable creating a single image based upon the plurality of images;
- and
- a transmitter circuit configured to transmit at least one of the plurality of images or the single image based upon the plurality of images to another electronic device.
A method of implementing an electronic device adapted to apply information to a surface, the method comprising:
- providing a writing element adapted to apply a writing matcrial to the surface;
- detecting the writing applied to the surface using a first detection circuit comprising a camera;
- detecting a motion of the pen with respect to the surface;
- and
- identifying portions of the writing in a plurality of images captured by the camera;
- and
- creating a single image based upon the plurality of images and the motion of the electronic device.
