TL;DR: In this article, an information recording system includes a pen, having an instrument for writing on the writing surface, and an imaging system for providing image signals representative of images of the pixels near the pen tip when the tip is in contact with the surface.
Abstract: An information recording system includes a writing paper having a writing surface and a prerecorded invisible pattern of pixels associated with the writing surface. Each of the pixels contains encoded, optically readable position information which identifies a coordinate position on the writing surface. The system includes a pen, having an instrument for writing on the writing surface, and an imaging system for providing image signals representative of images of the pixels near the pen tip when the tip is in contact with the surface. The system further includes a recording/processing unit coupled to the pen. The recording/processing unit includes a processor responsive to the image signals for determining and electronically recording the positions of the pen tip on the writing surface as the markings are made on the writing surface, so that the recording/processing unit contains an electronic representation of the markings on the writing surface.

Abstract: An information recording system includes a writing paper having a writing surface and a prerecorded invisible pattern of pixels associated with the writing surface. Each of the pixels contains encoded, optically readable position information which identifies a coordinate position on the writing surface. The system further includes a pen having a tip and including an instrument for writing on the writing surface and a detector for detecting the position of the tip on the writing surface by optically reading the pixels and obtaining position information when the tip is in contact with the surface. The system further includes a recording unit coupled to the pen and responsive to the position information for electronically recording the position of the pen tip on the writing surface as the markings are made on the writing surface so that the recording unit contains an electronic representation of the markings on the writing surface.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a systematic approach to writing paper and online documentation for computer user documentation, which includes desktop publishing, CASE tools and the ''software factory'' programming technologies, as well as team writing, hypertext, mass storage and more.
Abstract: From the Publisher:
Designed to help processing professionals and technical writers write clear, accurate computer user documentation. Presents a systematic approach to writing paper and online documentation. Version 2 retains much essential material from the first edition, while offering new information on desktop publishing, CASE tools and the ``software factory'' programming technologies. Also covers new techniques such as team writing, hypertext, mass storage and more.
TL;DR: In this article, a writing pen device is composed of a siting pen 100 and a writing paper composed by the changes of reflection characteristics of the sitting pen 100 on the sitting paper.
Abstract: PURPOSE:To provide a writing pen and a writing pen device which are capable of electronically processing writing information and are suitable as the personal stationery of each individual. CONSTITUTION:This writing pen device is composed of a siting pen 100 and writing paper. On the siting paper, patterns composed by the changes of reflection characteristics are provided. The writing pen 100 has writing information detection means 102 to 115 and 117 detecting writing information by the difference of the reflection characteristics of the patterns of the writing paper, writing information storage means 113 and 116 storing writing information and writing information transfer means 102 to 115 and 117 transferring the writing information stored in the writing information storage means 113 and 116 to external devices. The writing pen 100 has writing function realizing constitutions 102 to 105 recording holograph on the writing paper.
