Information management unit and method for controlling data flow from electronic pens

摘要

An information management unit is arranged in an electronic network as a flow path controller for electronic data between electronic pens and destination units, the electronic data comprising handwriting data recorded by the electronic pens and one or more pen-resident parameters. The information management unit receives at least part of the electronic data from an electronic pen; maps the thus-received electronic data against one or more flow control objects to identify a relevant processing instruction, wherein the flow control object corresponds to a value of one of the pen-resident parameters; and directs the electronic data flow to a destination unit based on the thus-identified processing instruction.
