Abstract:
1. A system for creating a data structure comprising: an input configured to receive at least first and second ink strokes; a processor configured to parse the received ink strokes and to determine at least a first and a second property associated with the ink strokes; and a storage configured to store the ink strokes in a data structure with at least one tag identifying and delimiting data associated with said at least first and second property, thereby allowing said system to ignore data not understood, the data structure further including a portion containing index data associated with said at least first and second property of the handwritten ink information, the tag data having a reference to the index data, wherein the first property of the handwritten ink information associated with the index data is applied to the tag data and the first ink stroke based on the reference and the second property of the handwritten ink information associated with the index data is applied to the tag data and the second ink stroke based on the reference, and wherein the properties include at least one of a specific color, line width, drawing attribute, count of points, stroke size, a shape of pen tip, a type of pen tip, a point at which a stylus starts a stroke, stroke coordinates, pressure, angle of pen, and interval of time between coordinates.
