Abstract

A handwriting capture system combines an image capture device (30, 504, 604, 906, 1004, 1106, 1304) such as a PDA, notebook computer, set top box, smart television, or other type of smart appliance having an image capture capability and a built-in wireless transceiver (36, 506, 606, 1306), with an ink capture device (60, 210, 904, 1312) such as, for example, a digital notepad using, for example, electromagnetic, resistivity, or laser digitizing technology and presenting a suitable writing surface such as, for example, a paper writing surface for conventional ink. Communications between the ink capture device and the image capture device is achieved with wireless technology. For image capture devices such as PDAs and notebook computers having built-in infrared ports and designed for personal use, a portfolio (15, 502, 602, 802, 902, 1002, 1102, 1202, 1308) and the image capture device is achieved with wireless technology. The image capture device is mounted on the portfolio with retainer clips (32, 34) or by any other releasable mounting technique so that it may be easily removed and used separately. The image of what is written on the sheet of paper is automatically and seamlessly acquired electronically by the digital image capture device.
