Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION  
       [0001]     1. Field of the Invention  
         [0002]     The invention is related to a digital notebook, especially, it is related to a multi-functional digital notebook.  
         [0003]     2. Description of the Prior Art  
         [0004]     The contemporary electronic technologies are fast developed, many new product are continuously appeared, both software and hardware. For example, the traditional operating interfaces of the electronic devices are keyboard and/or mouse, but the new operating interface, such as hand-write inputting, voice inputting and screen-touch inputting, are commercial products in the recent years. Moreover, the human is used to hand-write for several thousand years, especially to write and speak simultaneously. Hence, the tablet is popular in the recent years, because it allows the user to input the word or the picture by directly writing but not by choosing them from the screen by the mouse or the keyboard.  
         [0005]     However, most of the contemporary electronic products only use one new technology, such as the microphone used by the voice-inputting technology or the screen used by the touch-inputting technology, but seldom integrate different newly present operating interfaces. At most, an electronic product (computer or personal digital assistant or others) are connected to two or more operating interface, such that the user is able to choose which operating interface is used now and which operating interface is used later.  
         [0006]     Besides, the current operating interfaces of the electronic device are designed to transform the human expressions, such as voice or words or pictures or others, into the electronic records (or ever be printed), but the daily-life of the user usually need the records that are available anytime and anywhere (for example, the notes used in the office for recording suddenly discussions). Clearly, the current operating interfaces are suitable for many requirements but are not suitable for some cases that the informations must be used, recorded, carried and conveniently distributed simultaneously. For example, by using the contemporary electronic technologies, the user is convenient to transmit the records from his tablet to his personal digital assistant, but it is difficult to share the records with other persons while none of the persons has personal digital assistant or there is no printed to print out the records.  
         [0007]     Significantly, although the contemporary electronic technologies are fast developed, the designed direction and the applied method of the current electronic products still is limited and then the operating interface still is not convenient enough for the user.  
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION  
       [0008]     In accordance with the present invention, a digital notebook with ASIC that can combine the conventional notebook with the skill of input handwriting in accordance with the requirement in industry is provided in this invention for improving and strengthen application of product so as to achieve the objective whose problems cannot be solved by the conventional input-interface of handwriting.  
         [0009]     One of the objects in this invention is to provide a digital notebook that further satisfy the user&#39;s daily-life requirement and is suitable for both electronic inputting and conventional inputting, and further is related to the application specific integrated circuit and related circuit module. Especially, without clearly increasing cost and inducing technology problems, an application specific integrated circuit and the related circuit module for both electrical file recording and paper writing. Herein, the new digital notebook comprises the functions for sound recording and wireless network communication. Thus, the present invention fits in with the commercial benefit and industrial utility.  
         [0010]     To satisfy the previous objects, the invention presents a digital notebook with an application specific integrated circuit. By way of electromagnetic induction to detect the handwriting trail, a digital data can be introduced by the ASIC and stored in a storage media. Beside, the digital data can be shared by transmitting through the transmission interface to other electrical instruments, wherein the electrical instruments can be personal computer, PDA, printer, mobile-phone or other electrical apparatuses with the capability of receiving, displaying and arranging digital data
