Abstract:
1. A method performed in a computing device, the method comprising: generating by a writing detector of a writing element of a pen a signal indicative of a handwriting on an initially blank surface, the writing detector agnostic to the initially blank surface; generating by a tag detector a signal indicative of a hand-formed machine-distinguishable tag associated by a user with the handwriting on the initially blank surface, the hand-formed machine-distinguishable tag drawn by the user selected from at least two predetermined hand-formed machine-distinguishable tags, the at least two hand-formed machine-distinguishable tags representative of at least two predetermined labels; receiving the signal indicative of the hand-formed machine-distinguishable tag associated with the handwriting on the initially blank surface; and distributing a representation of the handwriting to a data recipient in response to the hand-formed machine-distinguishable tag via a writing detector module coupled to a hand-held writing device agnostic to the initially blank surface, the data recipient associated with an application employing a lookup table for distributing the representation of the handwriting, the at least two predetermined labels enabling organization of the handwriting into categories via the hand-formed machine-distinguishable tag.
