  • An alternative form involves a facility to take notes using an electronic device (keyboard, palmtop, ...), but to print them and control playback using the printed copy, or to take notes on paper but control playback through an electronic device.
  • the user takes notes on paper; for each note, the system stores some identifying feature of the note with the time-stamp of the recording (as of the moment the note was taken).
  • the user selects a note from the paper; the system determines the identifying feature of the note, looks it up among those it has stored, and retrieves the associated time-stamp (which is subsequently used to play the recording starting at the position identified by the time-stamp, in accordance with prior art).
  • FIG. 7 An overview of the system is shown in Fig. 7.
  • the components are: A sheet of paper, on which a person takes notes during a recording session or playback of a recording in order to indexing the recording, or selects a note in order to control playback of an indexed recording;
  • a camera which delivers an image of the paper to 7
  • a recording or playback device which produces the current Timestamp during a recording session or playback of a recording when indexing the recording, or consumes a timestamp and plays the recording beginning at that timestamp, when playback is being controlled;
  • the identifying feature of an annotation is its position on the page.
  • the position of the marks the user makes on the page are used to define a region that bounds the entire annotation. This can be done in many ways, and the exact method used is not important.
  • a representation of the region identifies the annotation and is stored with the time-stamp. You select a note on the page by pointing at some part of it. The pointed-at position is checked against the defined regions, and the time-stamp of the one it lies within is retrieved. 8

  • the user writes on a coded substrate with the pointer (a hand-held pen/camera combination). As she writes, the positions of the pointer while it is in contact with the page are recovered. (This is one of the functionalities of the coded substrates; it is enabled by a substrate of glyphs on the page.)
  • the user selects an annotation by clicking the pointer on some part of the annotation; the position of the pointer is recovered (again, as a natural product of the use of Intelligent Paper).
  • coded substrates also — for free — automatically launches the annotation/playback application when you click on the page, and automatically 10 locates the set of note identifiers and time-stamps for the page in use, wherever they're stored.

  • a bounding region (for example, a bounding rectangle) is computed and serves as the annotation identifier.
  • the camera lies in a hand-held device.
  • the camera is in a fixed position over the desk.
  • This invention does not use the full set of concepts of those European patent applications, but employs the mounted camera concept from those works.
  • the user annotates a sheet of paper with pen or pencil.
  • the page is within the field of view of the camera. It has registration marks on it which allow distinct images of it to be registered properly with each other in the case that the page is moved. It may also have identification marks to distinguish it from other sheets of paper.
  • the user selects an annotation by pointing at some part of the annotation. Pointing is recognized by the image processing system. (Selection techniques are discussed in EP-A-622,722 and EP-A-840,199).
  • Figure 9 shows the operations performed by the processor of Fig. 7 in this embodiment.
  • the identifying feature of the annotation is a number that is encoded in marks on the paper ahead of time.
  • the user scans one of the marks, then writes on the paper next to it.
  • the scanned mark is decoded, and the number is stored with the time-stamp of the recording.
  • the user selects a note by scanning the mark. It is decoded into a number, and the time-stamp associated with that number is retrieved.
  • Glyphs are a natural choice for encoding the numbers.
  • the additional functionalities of coded sybstrates can be provided by using such substrates without localisation codes pages as the special-purpose pages.
  • Figure 10 shows the operations performed by the processor of Fig. 7 in this embodiment.
  • an image is recovered by the camera.
  • Processing the image and decoding the glyphs in the standard manner (using one of Xerox's glyph toolkits, either SmartPaper, DAE, or DataGlyphs) produces a number, which serves as the annotation identifier.
  • annotations are written on the page with pen or pencil and subsequently scanned.
  • the shape of the annotation identifies the annotation. This is similar to a method used in PaperLink to implement paper hyperlinks.
  • An annotation is selected to control playback by scanning it.
  • the annotation identifier (a set of features extracted from the scanned image) and time-stamp are stored for each note.
  • the user selects an annotation, it is compared to the stored images (or features are extracted and compared to the stored feature sets). The one that matches best is identified, and its time-stamp is retrieved. 12
  • Matching should be tractable and robust because there is a limited set of annotation identifiers to match against.
  • Figure 11 shows the operations performed by the processor of Fig. 7 in which embodiment.
  • an image is recovered by the camera.
  • Standard image processing of it produces a set of image features, which serves as the annotation identifier.
  • a given page of notes is associated with a particular recording. Under the assumption that multiple pages of notes are taken, referring to multiple recordings, storing this association with the note/time-stamp mapping, and identifying this aggregate structure via a page identifier becomes useful.
  • Intelligent Paper incorporates page identification, and as mentioned, the mounted-camera embodiment provides for page identification. Pre-marked pages can also provide page identification by keeping the numbers distinct across distinct pages. For the shape-processing embodiment, a set of image features can serve to identify a page. The user can make an arbitrary mark on the page to identify it, then scan the mark. Collisions are possible but can be detected.
  • Audio and video recordings are in widespread use, but this technique can index any data stream whose values change over time. For example, if the user had a
  • GPS device whose values were accessible to the system, notes could be associated with locations.
  • annotations are input via a keyboard we have them in the form of ascii text. They can be printed in any fashion. An annotation is selected from the printed page by scanning it with a hand-held scanner. The scanned text is recovered using OCR. The annotation containing the most closely matching text is identified, and its associated time-stamp is retrieved. OCR accuracy can be improved by storing font information at the point of printing the annotations.
  • Figure 12 shows the operations performed by the processor of Fig. 7 in this embodiment.
  • an image is recovered by the camera.
  • Optical character recognition is performed, producing a text.
  • This text is matched against the set of stored annotation identifiers (which are the text of the annotation, in this embodiment) and the closest match serves as the annotation identifier.
  • an identifying mark can be printed with each note (in the margin, for instance).
  • the mark is used as the key in time-stamp retrieval, or if the mark represents a number, the number is used as the key.
  • the user selects the note by hand-scanning the mark, which is recognized using techniques appropriate to the kind of mark. Possible marks are glyphs, bar codes, numbers or symbols in OCR fonts, icons, or text.
  • Figure 13 shows the operations performed by the processor of Fig. 7 in this embodiment. This is similar to Fig. 10.
  • Fig. 14 An overview of the system is shown in Fig. 14. The elements are the same as in Fig. 7, with one addition: the images are stored in the table with the Annotation EDs and Timestamps. This allows a composite image (a) identical to the paper that the notes were written on to be constructed and displayed for the user on a screen.
  • the image of the page In the positional case, i.e. with localisation code (loc), when the annotations are made, the image of the page must be stored. The final stored image is displayed to the user. The mouse position (relative to the page image frame) is used just as the position on the paper would be for retrieval purposes.
  • a display can be built from the various scanned notes. When the display is built, the time-stamps must be associated with regions of the display, so that the mouse can be used for retrieval.
  • Figure 15 shows the operations performed by the processor of Fig. 14 for positional-based retrieval.
  • This Figure shows the elements as used in retrieval (using annotations to control playback of an indexed recording) in the positional cases (coded substrates and Over-the-desk Camera).
  • the composite image (a) described above is displayed on a screen to the user.
  • the user selects an annotation with the mouse by placing it on some part of the annotation. Because regions in image (a) corresponds to regions on the original paper sheet the notes were written on, the mouse coordinates identify one of the regions serving as annotation identifiers.
  • the timestamp stored with the annotation identifiers is retrieved and used for playback.
  • Figure 16 shows the elements as used in retrieval in the hand-scanning case.
  • Timestamps are associated directly with regions of the display when the display is built, so the mouse position when the user selects an annotation identifies a timestamp directly. This timestamp is retrieved and used for playback.

Abstract

L'accès à une donnée mise en mémoire se fait au moyen d'un scanner (506) à positionnement manuel, qui balaie une ou plusieurs régions d'une feuille et émet un signal de balayage. La feuille porte des repères lisibles par la machine, qui définissent deux ou plusieurs zones de ladite feuille (108) ; les repères (204) contenus dans chaque zone indiquent la position de celle-ci sur la feuille. Le signal de balayage est utilisé pour fournir des données de position indiquant une ou plusieurs positions indiquées par les repères (606) lisibles par la machine. Une ou plusieurs positions indiquées par les données de position sont codées avec des informations de temps, de façon à fournir des données codées de position et de temps. Les données de temps indiquant les informations de temps sont associées à la donnée mise en mémoire, de façon à permettre l'accès à ladite donnée au moyen des données codées de position et de temps.
