WO2018229662A1 - Smart pen enhancing the pen holding skill of children - Google Patents

Abstract

The smart pen for children's handcuffing skills is a smart pen that brightens up the pen with a light-emitting diode on top of your head as soon as the pen is stretched out by the child and the proper pressure, as well as the angle of the paper. This is a self-paced practice and the child does not need to be instructed during training. It can also be used to increase rehabilitation for children and those who have fingers and palms for writing. Also, a tool for collecting and displaying the activity of the fingers and palms of the muscles and how they are coordinated can be used in the diagnostic work of motor muscle problems. By using data analysis in the hands of the pen and the writing angle as well as the amount of pressure exerted by the user, it can be used for electronic signatures.

Smart Pen Enhancing the skills of manipulating children

The smart pen for children's handcuffing skills is a smart pen that brightens up the pen with a light-emitting diode on top of your head as soon as the pen is stretched out by the child and the proper pressure, as well as the angle of the paper. This is a self-paced practice and the child does not need to be instructed during training. It can also be used to increase rehabilitation for children and those who have fingers and palms for writing. Also, a tool for collecting and displaying the activity of the fingers and palms of the muscles and how they are coordinated can be used in the diagnostic work of motor muscle problems. By using data analysis in the hands of the pen and the writing angle as well as the amount of pressure exerted by the user , it canbe used for electronic signatures in banks and official documents to prevent fraud and signature them.

Some of the examples of these devices designed for children's education include the Leap Reader smart pen with an internal speaker, which plays the pronunciation of letters and words in the audio books by drawing on them. In addition to enhancing phonetic ability and recognizing words, this pen also helps improve writing skills; when a letter or a word is correctly spoken the smart pen encourages the child with a flash or playing a song. The Light Pen is one of the newest tools for data entry to the computer, which has been produced after keyboard and mouse for special applications, and it is more developed and equipped than a mouse. Due to its ergonomic shape, the Light Pen is held between fingers very easier than a mouse and unlike the mouse is pressure-sensitive; so these features makes the Light Pen a very good tool for applications such as graphics, animation, industrial design, e-learning, office automation, and the like. There are often keys on the Light Pen by which you can make right and left clicks. But, nothing has been done in designing and producing our claimed pen.

The pen is a writing tool that is used to add ink to a level that is usually a paper. There are various types of pen that include ball pen, fountain pen, marker, pencils and the like. Written language should be meaningful for the child. To learn writing skills, we should prepare the letters of the alphabet as a tool such as a toy; a tool that by which the child learns the letters before taking the pencil and writing the letters on the paper. Most children learn to read before the age of seven. Reading is a complex and interesting process, based on the child's communication skills with the peripheral world from birth, and is gradually completed by the age of seven. In most children, the development of specific communication skills develops in the early stages of language teaching. Children learn writing like reading from infancy period. Seeing your reading and writing, they gradually understand that written words have meaning. The only problem is that it takes time to allow the child to write the first meaningful words. All children begin writing by doodling. This is an activity that most children like. To do this, they only need to be able to have coordination to take the pencil and hold paper and use a good pressure to draw something the paper. However, over time and with lots of exercises, the child eventually understands that with this tool he can draw a special thing on the paper and repeat it by repeating some movements of the hand. Therefore, if we can produce a device that when a child takes a pen and presses it enough and when it has a proper angle on the paper the LED on it turns on, it can be a great help in this self-taught learning.

The Smart Pen Enhancing the skills of manipulating children is a smart pen that has a LED on top of its head that when the pen is taken and pressed enough by the child and has a proper angle on the paper, the LED turns on. This practice is self-taught and does not require a instructor or spending too much. The electric board of this pen has three inputs of the FSR pressure sensor, which is connected to the analog inputs of the atmega8 microcontroller using the Op Amp booster.

There is a goniometer sensor at the tip of the pen that measures the angle between the pen and the paper. If there is a desired pressure and angle, the LED will light up.

It has a potentiometer to determine the amount of pressure needed and the USB port is to connect to the computer and to perform the settings.

Rehabilitation assistance

It is a self-teacher to correctly write and take a pen by hand; it does not require a instructor while writing (so, it can be easily used in deprived places that there is no instructor)

The light turns on when you put your fingers on the pen and press it enough and the pen has a proper angle on the paper, the LED turns on (which is an incentive for children to learn )

By using the analysis of the pen data and the writing angle as well as the amount of pressure applied , Can be used for electronic signatures in banks and notary public's offices to prevent forgery.
