Abstract
The present application describes systems and methods for real-time verification of form input using a digital pen. In one configuration, a user inputs data by checking or initialing boxes using a digital pen and then selects a complete indicator. The system then verifies that all required boxes have been checked and if they have not, the system provides real-time feedback to the operator.
Claims19
A method for providing real-time form data verification comprising:
- receiving pen stroke data processed by using an assembly form with at least one assembly form item line associated with at least one assembly item, wherein the pen stroke data identifies the assembly form item line and includes time data;
- determining an approximate absolute physical location of the pen;
- associating the pen stroke data with the at least one assembly form item line and the approximate absolute physical location of the pen;
- determining an expected data value associated with the assembly item;
- determining a measured data value;
- and
- comparing the expected data value with the measured data value, wherein
- the expected data value comprises a retrieved weight value associated with the at least one assembly form item line;
- and
- the measured data value comprises a measured weight value associated with the at least one assembly form item line.

A method for providing real-time form data verification comprising:
- receiving pen stroke data processed by using an test form with at least one test item line associated with at least one test item, wherein the pen stroke data identifies the test item line and includes time data;
- determining an approximate absolute physical location of the pen;
- associating the pen stroke data with the at least one test item line and the approximate absolute physical location of the pen;
- determining an expected data value associated with the test item;
- determining an expected test data value associated with the test item;
- determining a user observed test data value using the pen stroke data;
- determining a measured data value;
- comparing the expected test data value with the measured test data value;
- and
- comparing the expected data value with the measured data value, wherein
- the expected data value comprises a retrieved weight value associated with the at least one assembly form item line;
- and
- the measured data value comprises a measured weight value associated with the at least one assembly form item line.
