Abstract
The present application describes systems and methods for composing documents using a digital pointing instrument. In further configurations, a user utilizes a pen to partially fill in a form and provide destination data whereby a forms processor adds additionally required information to the form in order to compose a complete form that is sent to the destination.
Claims17
A method for composing a document comprising:
- capturing strokes made by a user with a pointing instrument that include indications of data including form input data and command data;
- processing the strokes in order to determine destination indication data;
- processing the strokes in order to determine input data, and composing a document using the input data and sending the documents to a destination.
A system for composing a document comprising:
- a processor;
- a storage device connected to the processor;
- the storage device storing a logic program;
- the processor operative with the logic program to perform:
- capturing strokes made by a user writing with a digital pen on a media having a pattern, the strokes including indications of data including form input data and command data;
- processing the strokes in order to determine destination indication data;
- determining a template for the form using the strokes and the pattern;
- processing the strokes in order to determine input data;
- composing a document using the input data and sending the documents to a destination;
- processing the strokes in order to determine a recipient designated by the strokes;
- capturing user authentication information related to the user;
- and
- wherein the command data includes an indication of a send form input data command.
10 more elements
A system for sending a composed document comprising:
- a receiver to receive pen stroke data from a digital pen including form input data;
- a processor to process pen stroke data;
- and
- a processor to determine destination data from the pen stroke data;
- and
- a file server connected to the processor, wherein the processor determines additionally required data and composes the document using the input data and additionally required data, wherein
- the processor uses the destination data to send the composed document.
