The present invention relates to a filing appliance, a system for information management, a method in a computer system, a computer program and a memory medium. The filing appliance comprises means for holding a plurality of sheets, with at least one input field, which is provided with a position-coding pattern and is adapted to be filled in by means of a drawing device, which while using the position-coding pattern records positions in the input field in order to record information entered in the input field, and an initiation icon provided with a position-coding pattern, a marking of the initiation icon by means of the drawing device being adapted to initiate an operation in a computer system communicating with the drawing device, in which operation an information object is created, which is identifiable at least by means of information entered in the input field.
A filing appliance comprising means for holding a plurality of sheets of, for instance, paper, charactarized by at least one input field (6) which is provided with a position-coding pattern and is adapted to be filled in by means of a drawing device (12) which records, using said position-coding pattern, positions in the input field (6) in order to digitally record information entered in the input field, and an initiation icon (8) provided with a position-coding pattern, a marking of the initiation icon (8) by means of the drawing device (12) being adapted to initiate, an operation in a computer system (13) communicating with the drawing device (12), in which operation an, information object is created, which is identifiable at least by means of information entered in the input field (6).
A filing appliance according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein sheets in at least a subset of said plurality of sheets are provided with a position-coding pattern so that information filled in on a sheet in the subset by means of said drawing device is recordable as a digital graphical input, the filing appliance comprising a number of appearance icons, a marking of an appearance icon by means of said drawing device being adapted to give the digital graphical input a visual property.
A filing appliance according to any one of the preceding claims, which comprises an address field provided with a position-coding pattern, and an order icon, a marking of the order icon by means of said drawing device being adapted to initiate an operation in the computer system, which operation performs an order of another filing appliance to be delivered to the address entered in the address field.
A filing appliance according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein at Least some sheets in a subset of said plurality of sheets are provided with a position-coding pattern, so that information filled in on a sheet in the subset can be recorded by means of said drawing device as digital graphical inputs, and a send icon provided with a position-coding pattern, a marking of the send icon by means of the drawing device initiating an operation in the computer system, in which operation graphical inputs entered on the sheet are transferred to the computer system and optionally on to an external computer system.
A filing appliance according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein said information object comprises a table in a database.
A filing appliance a according to any of the preceding claims, further comprising an archiving icon, a marking of the archiving icon being adapted to initiate an operation wherein position information corresponding to strokes of the drawing device, which strokes are generated after a reference time point, is transmitted from the drawing device to the computer system.
A system for information management, characterized in that it comprises a filing appliance, a drawing device and a computer system, and that the filing appliance comprises means for holding a plurality of sheets;
A method for arranging incoming information in a computer system, characterized in
