发明名称 Mobile device incorporating projector and pen-location transcription system
摘要 A mobile device providing a mobile processing function such as a mobile telephone and/or a personal digital assistant. The mobile device includes a mobile device body, a processing system within the body providing at least part of the mobile processing function, a projector coupled to the body to project an image onto a substantially planar surface when the mobile device body is on the surface such that the projector projects at a predetermined angle relative to the surface, and a pen-location transcription system coupled to the processing system to record the positions of a writing implement or stylus at a plurality of instants of time by transmitting acoustic energy between the writing implement or stylus and a device mechanically coupled to the mobile device body.

主权项 1. A mobile device providing a mobile processing function, the mobile device comprising: a mobile device body; a processing system within the body including at least one processor programmed to be part of providing the mobile processing function; a projector mechanically coupled to the body to project an image from the processor onto a substantially planar surface when the mobile device body is on the surface such that the projector projects at a predetermined angle relative to the surface; and a pen-location transcription system coupled to the processing system to determine the positions of a writing implement or stylus at a plurality of instants of time by transmitting energy, including acoustic energy, between the writing implement or stylus and a device mechanically coupled to the mobile device body, the pen-location transcription system including one or more transmitters of acoustic energy and one or more acoustic sensor, the position determining including detecting an indication of time-of-arrival of said transmitted acoustic energy at said at least one acoustic sensor relative to the time or times of transmitting by at least one of the one or more transmitters of acoustic energy, wherein the mobile device further includes a support mechanism to maintain the mobile device such that the projector projects at the predetermined angle relative to the surface, wherein the support mechanism includes a pair of arms that are each hingeably connected to the mobile device body, able to be folded in and out, and that when folded out, lock to maintain the mobile device at the predetermined angle relative to the surface, wherein the writing implement or stylus includes a transmitter of the acoustic energy, wherein the support arms include at least two acoustic sensors to detect the transmitted acoustic energy, and wherein the support mechanism includes a mechanism establishing the relationship between said at least two acoustic sensors such that when the arms lock to maintain the mobile device body such that the projector projects at the predetermined angle relative to the surface, the relationship between said at least two sensors is established.
