Abstract
A system and method for interaction between an electronic writing device (102) and a wireless device (104) includes the electronic device (102) being capable of generating a keystroke signal (106). The system and method further includes the wireless device (102) receiving the keystroke signal (106) and executing an operation (168) in response thereto. The electronic writing device (102) includes a motion sensor (110) that generates a motion displacement signal (116), a toggle switch (112) that generates an engagement signal (118), a pressure sensor (114) that generates a depression signal (120) and an optical sensor (128). The wireless device (102) includes a receiver (162) that receives the keystroke signal (106) and a processor (164) that executes an operation in response thereto or may provide for operating in a bar code mode, such that a bar code may be scanned and the keystroke signal including a bar code signal.
Claims
AMENDED CLAIMS [received by the International Bureau on 16 June 2004 (16.06.04); original claims 1, 7 and 9 replaced by amended claims 1, 7 and 9; original claim 6 replaced by amended claims 5 and 6; claims 4 and 8 deleted; remaining claims unchanged]
What is claimed is:
1 (amended). An electronic interactive system comprising: an electronic writing device that generates a keystroke signal in response to one or more simulated writing movements, wherein the electronic writing device includes; an optical sensor capable of reading a bar code display; a transmitter coupled to a processor; and a memory operably coupled to the processor, the memory capable of storing executable instructions, wherein the processor, in response to executable instructions: generates the keystroke signal in response to at least: a motion displacement signal, an engagement signal and a depression signal; and provides the keystroke signal to the transmitter; and a wireless device capable of receiving the keystroke signal and thereupon executing an operation in response to the keystroke signal, wherein the wireless device includes: a receiver that receives the keystroke signal from the electronic writing device; a processor operably coupled to the receiver such that the processor receives the keystroke signal and th reu on executes the operation in response thereto; and a display device capable of receiving a display signal from the processor, wherein the display device displays a mode indicator, such that the mode indicator indicates the mode of operation of the electronic writing device, wherein when the processor is operating in a bar code mode, the receiver receives the keystroke signal having a motion displacement signal and a bar code signal such that the processor can, based on the combination of the motion displacement signal and the bar code signal,, regenerate a bar code scanned by an optical sensor on the writing device.
2 (original). The system of claim 1 wherein the electronic writing device comprises: a motion sensor that generates the motion displacement signal; a toggle switch that, upon engagement, generates the engagement signal; a pressure sensor disposed on a tip of the electronic writing device such that the pressure sensor generates the depression signal when the tip is depressed against a surface; and the processor operably coupled to the motion sensor, the toggle switch and the pressure sensor such that the processor receives the motion displacement signal, the engagement signal and the depression signal.
3 (original). The system of claim 2 wherein the writing device generates a bar code signal such that when the writing device is operating in a bar code mode, the keystroke signal includes the motion displacement signal and the bar code signal.
4 (cancelled).
5 (amended). The system of claim 1 wherein the wireless device further comprises: a keystroke recognition database; and a memory operably coupled to the processor, the memory storing executable instructions such that the processor, in response to the executable instructions: compares the keystroke signal with the keystroke recognition database; retrieves an at least one instruction for performing the operation associated with the keystroke signal; and executes the at least one instruction.
6 (amended). The system of claim 5 wherein the step of executing the at least one instruction performed by the processor in response to executable instructions from the memory further includes at least one of: displaying a character on the display device, storing an input within the memory, providing the input to the transmitter, switching into an alphabetic mode, switching into a cursor mode, switching into a shortcut mode, switching into a shifiVshiftlαck mode, switching into a punctuation mode and switching into a bar code mode.
21
7 (amended). A method for electronic interaction comprising: generating a keystroke signal in response to a motion displacement signal, an engagement signal and a depression signal; transmitting the keystroke signal through a wireless transmission; comparing the keystroke signal with one or more keystroke entries in a keystroke recognition database; retrieving an at least one instruction for performing an operation associated with the keystroke signal; and executing the operdtion including the at least one instructiotj. in response to the keystroke signal.
8 (cancelled).
22
9 (amended). The method of claim 7 wherein the step of executing the at least one instruction further includes at least one of: displaying a character on the display device, switching a data entry menu, storing an input within the memory, and providing the input to the transmitter.
23
10 (original). The method of claim 7 wherein, the keystroke signal is further generated in response to a bar code signal and the method farther comprising: regenerating a bar code by processing the bar code signal relative to the motion displacement signal disposed within the keystroke signal; and executing at least one operation in response to the bar code, wherein the at least one operation includes at least one of: displaying a character on the display device, switching a data entry menu, storing an input within the memory, and providing the input to the transmitter.
