Abstract
A writing utensil including a color sensor operable to generate sensor data A processing unit is configured to receive the sensor data from the color sensor and to output the sensor data. A networking device is configured to receive the sensor data from the processing unit and arranged to transmit the sensor data via a network connection.
Claims10
A writing utensil, comprising:
- a color sensor operable to generate sensor data,
- a processing unit configured to receive the sensor data from the color sensor and to output the sensor data, and
- a networking device configured to receive the sensor data from the processing unit and arranged to transmit the sensor data via a network connection, and
- a switch, wherein the writing utensil is operable to:
- generate the sensor data initiated by user interaction by activating the switch,
- transmit the sensor data via the networking device to a receiver by activating the switch again, and
- trigger taking an image by means of the imaging device by activating the switch again.
