Abstract
A method of editing data generated by handwriting.

Claims14
A computer-implemented method of editing data generated by handwriting, comprising:
- detecting initiation of editing;
- identifying a marking stroke which marks data that is to be edited;
- determining an extent of the marking stroke;
- identifying data which is contained within the marking stroke;
- and
- performing an editing operation on said data contained within the marking stroke.
A computer-implemented method of editing data representing a graphic image which has been recorded when writing using an optically imaging pen on a surface which is provided with a position code coding a plurality of positions on the surface, the method comprising:
- detecting initiation of editing;
- identifying a marking stroke which comprises at least one coded position and which marks data that is to be edited;
- determining an extent of the marking stroke;
- identifying data which is contained within the marking stroke;
- and
- performing an editing operation on said data contained within the marking stroke.
A handheld device comprising:
- a writing implement for generating a visible mark on a writing surface;
- a sensor for reading a position code on the writing surface and providing position data;
- and
- a transmitter for transmitting the position data, wherein the position data is provided for detecting initiation of editing;
- identifying a marking stroke which marks data that is to be edited;
- determining an extent of the marking stroke;
- identifying data which is contained within the marking stroke;
- and
- performing an editing operation on said data contained within the marking stroke.
