1. An information capture system comprising:
a substrate having a permanent position-identifying microdot pattern printed thereon and that comprises an imaging layer that is imageable when exposed to an energy emission of a first wavelength and erasable when exposed to an energy emission of a second wavelength; a digital pen comprising a first end, a second end, an image-capturing sensor, a position sensor that comprises an accelerometer or a gyroscope, a memory, a force-sensitive writing tip and a first energy source that is capable of emitting energy of the first wavelength, the digital pen including program instructions that are capable of instructing the digital pen to:
emit energy from the first energy source when the force-sensitive writing tip is activated, so that the energy from the first energy source will cause the substrate to form an image comprising a first set of handwritten markings thereon,concurrently with the forming of the first set of handwritten markings on the substrate, detect by the image-capturing sensor a first detected portion of the position-identifying microdot pattern, in which the first detected portion corresponds to a location of the first set of handwritten markings on the substrate,concurrently with the forming of the first set of handwritten markings on the substrate, detect by the position sensor a first detected set of position data corresponding to movement of the digital pen, wherein the first detected set of position data comprises position data collected using the accelerometer or the gyroscope, andstore in the memory an editable digital document file comprising the first set of handwritten markings using the first detected portion of the position-identifying microdot pattern and the first detected set of position data. |
