Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to "media adaptive content”, “electronic publishing”, “print-on-demand”, and to document composition and annotation. More particularly, the present invention discloses a system and method for manually designating parts of physical documents (i.e., printed document), and for retrieving through a network, the digital content corresponding to the designated parts. Background of the invention
- reading paper cannot be compared with reading an electronic media (e.g., an e-book by using a MS Reader). Paper is portable, available everywhere, can be easily used and manipulated and provides a high resolution. Most people prefer to read paper, whether they are familiar with computers or not.
- Print-on-demand is in fact a new printing technology, and also a new form of information distribution that makes possible the production of very low print runs. It is a production system where just the required number of copies is printed. Unlike so-called “short-run" printing (traditional book printing in small batches (50 - 100)) for very limited stockholding, print-on-demand enables the printing of a single book in response to a particular customer order. That means that on-demand titles never goes into stock. The ultimate step in print-on-demand, is the production of one copy at a time. This technology dramatically reduces the storage of hard copies and thus reduces the inventories, the distribution costs and the expenses for recycling or destroying unused copies. Moreover this technology enables on-demand reprinting, which means that titles no longer fall "out of print”.
- a user seating on a public library may wish to select portions of different printed publications (e.g., some relevant paragraphs, references, and illustrations printed on "Celtic Legends" related books). He may wish to store data identifying said selections on a stand-alone (i.e., not connected to a network) handheld device (e.g., on a handheld computer, or a personal digital assistant). The same user may also wish to download at a later time, from his stand-alone handheld device to a personal computer or workstation connected to Internet, the data identifying the selections he made on the physical documents and to retrieve through the Web and from the electronic copies of the different printed documents, the electronic information comprised in the selected portions.

- Digitizing tablets are the electronic equivalents of the familiar pencil and paper used for drawing, tracing, or sketching. The movement of a pencil-like stylus over a tablet surface re-creates a drawing on the computer screen. Drawings may then be imported to graphics or presentation application programs and be edited, formatted, and printed.
- the transparent digitizing tablet (1201) may be commonly built on a substrate having a matrix formed by
- a transparent digitizing tablet When integrated on top of a display surface, a transparent digitizing tablet is actually a layer that has a mesh of transparent wire sensors running through it and that sometimes visually looks like moiree patterns on the top of the display. These thin wires in conjunction with the pen produce movement and button events that are reported to the computer.

- electro-luminescent (EL) elements pixels on the intersections of the scanning and data lines.
- this passive-matrix, light-emitting display may be made of an array of TOLED's (Transparent Organic Light Emitting Devices) of the types used to create vision area displays on windshields, cockpits, helmets and eyeglasses.
- TOLED's Transparent Organic Light Emitting Devices
- a TOLED is a monolithic, solid-state device consisting of a series of "small molecule" organic thin films sandwiched between two transparent, conductive layers. When a voltage is applied across the device, it emits light. This light emission is based upon a luminescence phenomenon wherein electrons and holes are injected and migrate from the contacts toward the organic heterojunction under the applied electric field. When these carriers meet, they form excitons (electron-hole pairs) that recombine radiatively to emit light. As a result, TOLEDs are bright, self-emitting displays that can be directed to emit from either or both surfaces. This is possible because, in addition to having transparent contacts, the organic materials are also transparent over their own emission spectrum and throughout most of the visible spectrum.
- TOLED displays are today manufactured with standard silicon semiconductors. Since TOLEDs are thin-film, solid-state devices, they are very thin, lightweight and durable, ideal for portable applications, like the one disclosed in the present invention. TOLEDs can be bottom, top, or both bottom and top emitting. Also, TOLEDs technology has attractive advantages regarding, transparency (TOLED displays can be nearly as clear as the glass or substrate they're on and when built between glass plates, TOLEDs are > 85% transparent when turned off), energy efficiency (for longer battery life), full viewing angle, bright and high contrast light emission, fast response time, and environmental robustness. Thus, TOLEDs are well suited for manufacturing the light-emitting, electro-luminescent, display component, used jointly with the transparent digitizing tablet accordingly with the present of this invention.
- Stylus Pen like stylus (1208) are commonly used as input devices for data processing and storage systems in place of conventional keyboards and mouse devices.
- the stylus (1208) is used in combination with the digitizing tablet (1201) part of the ELDT (1200).
- the digitizing tablet (1201 ) incorporates a resistive or capacitive digitizer or sheet material.
- the electro-luminescent (1202) component of the ELDT displays the instantaneous position, and path of movement, of the stylus. In this way, the ELDT device displays the pattern traced thereon (e.g. a written message, sketch or signature).
- European patent application 01480135.1 filed 21/12/2001 / US application 10/317504, filed 12/12/2002 entitled "Device, method and system for retrieving and displaying handwritten annotations" (IBM's reference FR9 2001 0048) discloses an apparatus for use with a computer system, for capturing and displaying handwritten annotations, comprising a transparent digitizing tablet adapted to cooperate with a stylus. It also comprises a transparent electro-luminescent display adapted to display captured handwritten annotations, the transparent digitizing tablet being superposed on the transparent electro-luminescent display. Thanks to the transparent electro-luminescent display and the transparent digitizing tablet superposed thereon, handwritten annotations can be marked and displayed on a physical document without physically marking the document.
