Sensor device can be divided into different physical enclosure, and first shell comprises the image of record position coding pattern, these images is sent to be included in second shell, and carries out the required assembly of assembly that the position is determined according to the image of record.
According to an embodiment, sensor device 2 is communicated by letter with other unit 8,9,10 or 6 by wireless device according to mode known to those skilled in the art.Carry out corresponding units 8,9,10 and 6 according to mode known to those skilled in the art equally, radio access point 7, the communication between the unit 3 of computer network 5 and tape handling device.The application of position coding pattern also is a method known to those skilled in the art on the function of sensor and the substrate.
With reference now to Fig. 2, first application of one embodiment of the present of invention is described.On substrate 1, record the many phrases or the symbol that constitute order 22,23 or address 21 with position encoded pattern.Order can be a word, also can is-symbol, as long as sensor device is programmed for the understanding symbol in advance and the Symbol recognition order.Can be by the study of a certain form, make thus that order is relevant with symbol to realize this programming in advance, will illustrate in greater detail below.
One of phrase 21 of record constitutes the indication of sensor device connected computer network address (for example 3 residing computer network addresses, unit of tape handling device).The computer network address also is used for the address of other type of compunication, for example bluetooth (Bluetooth
) address.
Indication according to address or address constitutes root node, and order constitutes the mode of the node in the tree structure, with tree structure record order on substrate.Utilize the lines of drawing betwixt that a certain node and another node are connected.
But thereby order 22,23 structure conditions, operational character, parameter or subordinate order, as shown in Figure 2.Notice that the tree structure with order can change to the large-scale tree structure with many orders and subordinate order from the strand order aspect scope.
Can center on each command record (note) command frame (frame) 24.Command frame 24 can be worked according to the mode of the boundary of a part of delimiting substrate 1, also can be discerned by sensor device 2 and be interpreted as the indication that order just is being transfused to according to it, thereby the mode that plays the command indicator effect is worked.Between order 22,23 or command frame 24, can draw the lines of the connection between these orders of indication.
The shape of command frame only constitutes an example that can how to design these frameworks among Fig. 2-4.Other shape also is possible, and difformity can be represented dissimilar orders or address.On substrate 1, also have " transmission " frame 26, " transmission " frame 26 will be sent to the unit of tape handling device to the sensor device directive command." transmission " frame 26 can be to print square frame in advance, comprise the specific position encoded pattern of a predetermined part to " transmission " function coding, perhaps " transmission " frame 26 can be by user's record on substrate 1, and special symbol or particular command word with representative " transmission " function.As another kind of alternative approach, when sensor device is recognized the indication of command boxe or computer network address, can ignore " transmission " frame with the direct-connected sensor device in computer network address.
As shown in Figure 2, the user has utilized sensor device 2 recording addresses " my computing machine " 21, and this is to the computer network address of sensor device 2 indication users' oneself computing machine.Around this address, record order framework 24, command frame 24 are determined after input, will be made it the subarea of the position encoded pattern that interrelates with described address by sensor device.When writing down, sensor device read-out position coding pattern, the electronic representation of the graph image that calculated address 21 and command frame 24 constitute.Utilize OCR or ICR to explain this graph image subsequently, thereby obtain the electronic form of order " my computing machine ", and it is kept in the storer in the sensor device.Optionally and " my computing machine " of record be an address, and just the indication of a text string preserve this address together.As a kind of alternative approach, can preserve the address that sensor obtains, for example 197.57.3.982.The expression on the surface on the substrate 1 that command frame 24 surrounds also is kept in the sensor device, and " my computing machine " that make it the IP address correlation that exemplified by 197.57.3.982 with conduct here is associated.
When user record order " format " 22 and second order " hard disk " 23 and command frame 24, repeat identical process: the order of writing down is by with the electronic form record, explain and and their constitute the indication of ordering, and be saved together with the subarea relevant of substrate 1 with them.When the user write down contact (association) 25 between the order 22,23 subsequently, contact 25 also was recorded and saves as the indication how order 22,23 is relative to each other.
According to the order 22,23 of preserving with get in touch 25, in sensor device, form command string, the first of command string is by the address that constitutes the root node in the tree-like imperative structures, and promptly address " my computing machine " formed.Next be contact 25, up to arriving final order " hard disk " thus set up command string till 23 gradually, and present for example such form at last
My computing machine/format/hard disk
Perhaps

Method described herein can be implemented as computer program, as shown in Fig. 6 and 7.Computer program comprises in the program storage that is kept at sensor device, and the computer program of carrying out in its processor.As a kind of alternatives, can integrally or partly with the product special circuit, for example the form of ASIC, FPGA perhaps with the form of numeral or mimic channel or their any appropriate combination, realizes method described herein.
Following explanation is at the inventive method based on Fig. 6-12, and Fig. 6-12 has represented different embodiments of the invention, and these embodiment can be used alone or in combination.
Fig. 6 is the schematic flow diagram of the method according to this invention.Available for example computer program is realized this method.In step 50, in sensor device 2, receive graphic sign.In step 51, according to graphic sign, identification is used for the order of the unit 3 of tape handling device.Sensor device is the address of the unit 3 of receiving belt processor in step 52 also.In step 53, this order is sent to this address.Can be according to different mode setting up procedures 53, for example detect on-chip " transmissions " frames by sensor device 2, order or other any indication by receiving to send, for example button is pressed etc.
Fig. 7 is the schematic flow diagram according to the method for the embodiment of the invention.In Fig. 7, the step 51 of order that identification is used for the unit of tape handling device comprise by, for example ICR (intelligent character recognition) or HWR (person's handwriting identification), at least in part graphic sign is converted to the substep 51a of machine-readable character form, according to the output of step 51a, can in step 51b, discern this order.Thereby or,,, can discern the order of writing with expressly from the database retrieval related command perhaps by according to character combination directly according to the practical combinations of machine-readable character.Similarly, sensor device can be arranged to according to such character combination identification address (step 52).
Fig. 8 is the schematic flow diagram of method according to another embodiment of the present invention.In Fig. 8, the step 51 of recognition command comprises identification and can pre-determine, thereby is identified as the first substep 51c of the graphical symbol that is equal to a certain order.In the second substep 51b, the order that identification is corresponding.For example, target cross (" x ") can be interpreted as " deletion " order.Similarly, sensor device can be arranged to according to such graphical symbol (symbol) identification address (step 52).
Obviously, whether be with expressly writing down because sensor device can at first be determined order or address, subsequently according to character combination or graphical symbol recognition command or address, Fig. 7 and 8 embodiment can be combined.
In additional step (not shown), can increase other order corresponding to those steps of in Fig. 6-8, describing.
Fig. 9 is the schematic flow diagram according to the method for further embodiment of this invention.Among Fig. 9, the step 51 of recognition command also comprises the sense command designator, for example the substep 51d of the command indicator 24 of Fig. 2-4.In the context of detection of command indicator, but in step 51e the subarea of recognizing site coding pattern.Described subarea and order are connected, thereby the record of a pair of coordinate will be interpreted as equaling the record of related command by sensor device in the subarea.
Figure 10 is the schematic flow diagram of method according to another embodiment of the present invention.In Figure 10, the step 52a of receiver address comprises that storer 55 can be included in the sensor device 2 from storer 55 receiver addresses.
Figure 11 is the schematic flow diagram of method according to another embodiment of the present invention.In Figure 11, all according to graphic sign 50, recognition command (in step 51), address (in step 52b) and contact (in step 54).
Figure 12 illustrates according to one embodiment of the method for the invention, wherein in step 57, provides the order layering in the storer 56 of sensor device 2.The graphic sign that produces previous the time by preserving can provide this order layering.Also can by downloading to the storer 56, provide described order layering by top any one communication path about Fig. 1 explanation from for example external memory storage medium.In storer 56, the subarea of order and position encoded pattern is connected (associated).
In Figure 12, the step 51 of recognition command comprises the substep 51g that receives a pair of coordinate from the subarea relevant with order.Thereby in substep 51h, discern the order relevant with this subarea.
Figure 12 also graphic extension can form command string according to the order layering.When passing through graphic sign just at input command, perhaps response perhaps by the order of a pair of coordinate identification in the pre-stator region, can form command string by for example graphical symbol.
To the address and/or order pre-programmed or pre-determine the address and/or the distinct program of the order imagination obtains.
A kind of alternative approach is to use the appropriate cards with position encoded pattern, and on this form, the user writes simple title, address or the order that can be discerned by sensor device making it for example specifying in the square frame.
The another kind of selection is the unit of communicating by letter by with sensor device, and for example computing machine, PDA etc. realize pre-programmed.Such unit can be by, computer network for example, perhaps by such as bluetooth
Or IrDA and so on junction service transmits information.
According to top explanation, to one skilled in the art, each embodiment of obvious the method according to this invention capable of being combined, and obviously can carry out each step according to different orders.
Graphic sign also can comprise, for example is the data of numeral, text, sketch or graphic form, and described data are by sensor device 2 record and as above connect with order or address with reference to figure 4 is described.
Sensor device can be programmed, and when receiving graphic sign with box lunch, according to their content, estimates these graphic signs.For example, expressly order, graphical symbol or command indicator can trigger the said method of recognition command.Can handle Unidentified data according to the arbitrary standards mode, for example can be used as stroke, promptly coordinate is stored in the storer of sensor device 2 sequence.
In the scope of accessory claim, also can change the present invention according to alternate manner.
For example, except those position encoded patterns of expression here, many different types of location coding patterns can be expected.Position encoded pattern needn't need and can detect with optical mode.For example, it can be the position encoded pattern that can read by magnetic, capacitive character, induction, chemistry or acoustic apparatus.But this need use sensors of various types.
Position encoded pattern among the WO 01/26032 can be to the position of a lot of uniquenesses or the coordinate coding of point.Can think and select the obvious much bigger imaginary surface of any single substrate of constituent ratio together as all these.This imaginary surface can be divided into different zones, and described zones of different is specialized in the usefulness of different application.For example, the usefulness of the unit of control tape handling device can be specialized in zone.The function that defines the information in this zone and be attached thereto can be kept in the pen, and is used to control the function of pen.
Another kind of alternatives is in fact to allow record order in the arbitrary portion of imaginary surface.In this manner, the surface that almost possesses position encoded pattern arbitrarily all can be used to input command, with the relevant control of the unit that is used for the tape handling device.In this embodiment, because some zone before had been retained the usefulness for some function, therefore may needs to take some measures and prevent to disturb.
By searching the address that is arranged in the database outside the sensor device, but the address that recognition command and data mail to.Order and address all can be sent to external unit so that explain and further processing.Can in sensor device, in the unit of tape handling device, perhaps in being exclusively used in a certain other external unit of explanation, realize this explanation.
Also can determine command string in advance, for example determine described address in advance by the sensor device that utilizes this information to programme in advance with the address of mailing to.According to present embodiment, needn't be with the plotting mode recording address.At least an order can be write down, but, also aforesaid imperative structures can be write down and preserve according to present embodiment.On the other hand, can make command string that the address of mailing to is relevant with the specific region of position encoded pattern, thus relevant with the particular substrate that this zone was positioned at of position encoded pattern.
As a kind of alternative approach with the form hold-over command of dynamic structure, also can preserve some command strings, wherein each command string representative order may make up.
The mode that sends order and address also can change: for example, can send raw data according to the form of sensor device from the image of substrate taking-up.Also can send the image data processing of a certain form, compressing image data for example, obtain from image and a series of coordinates that move of representative sensor device in substrate, perhaps be the order or the address of character encoding format.Do not get rid of the alternate manner that sends order, address or data.
Also allow to be positioned at the order on the substrates of different and/or the association of data.For example, this can utilize the substrate of arrangement adjacent one another are to link described address and described order by writing down an address on first substrate and order of record on second substrate subsequently, draws a line afterwards and realize between described address and described order.Therefore sensor device can be handled may be and the interruption of the position encoded pattern that produces, for example, handle this interruption of position encoded pattern by the contact of generation between two zones of the position encoded pattern that interrupts a corresponding side as described in the WO 01/75781 that is contained in this as a reference.
Send address, order and data by utilizing " transmission " button can start, write on on-chip indication, start to the transmission of the unit of tape handling device address, order and data but also can respond to the unit of tape handling device.For example, can start transmission around a certain order drafting framework.In case sensor device has write down a complete command string, perhaps when mark framework internal zone dividing territory (this zone around write order), also can start transmission.Other alternatives that start to send includes, but is not limited to voice control, by the button on starting writing etc.
In addition, press button on the sensor device by the user, but tag address and command entry.This can still in whole or part input process, also can make button keep the state that is pressed prior to the input of order.
In the scope of accessory claim, other variation and combination also are possible.
