20090193342 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DOCUMENT MARKUP - The system and method as described herein can be advantageously used in a plurality of scenarios, two of which include field markup and data collection and collaborative review. The system and method handles the allocation of digital paper pattern background and the creation of required page definition files embedded into digital paper enabled PDFs. Optionally, action palettes can be automatically overlaid on the drawings as legend boxes to enable field personnel to select the operations they want to perform on the digital paper as they would on a computer interface. For instance letting users select the types of callouts and clouds to add to their markup. These drawings can be printed or plotted onto paper and sent to a work site for markup. | 07-30-2009 |
20090289927 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USING A DIGITAL PALETTE TO PRODUCE A DIGITAL DOCUMENT - A digital palette and a digital pen device are used to create or manipulate a digital document to provide complex information using features, such as graphical features selected from stencils, shapes, and connectors and possibly to apply one or more attributes to the digital document. The digital palette may have a custom layout. The features on the digital palette may be selected from a variety of sources, such as digital stencil libraries. The digital palette and digital document may be arranged on the same or different sheets of digital paper overlying one or more digital patterns. Information communicated from the digital palette to the digital document may be uploaded, processed, reviewed, changed and stored in a computer. Lastly, the digital document may be finalized and printed to incorporate all changes previously made using the digital palette, the digital pen device and the computer. | 11-26-2009 |
20090298026 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL TESTING - A system for administering a neuropsychological test using a digital pen and paper system includes various recognition modules for interpreting ink markings applied by the digital pen to a digital testing document. The recognition modules may interpret handwriting, symbols, sketches, etc. In addition, the system may include one or more error correction modules for detecting and correcting test-taker-driven errors or recognition-driven errors. The error correction module may operate in real time to communicate with the test taker, may be employed before a normalizing and scoring process or some combination of both. In one embodiment, normalized data or automatically determined test scores obtained after appropriate correction may be transmitted to a patient record or file to await a review and possible diagnosis by a mental health provider. | 12-03-2009 |
