INK TAGS IN A SMART PEN COMPUTING SYSTEM

摘要

Embodiments of the invention present a system and method for generating digital links, or "ink tags," from handwritten notes on a writing surface. Handwritten data, including one or more ink tags identifying digital content, is captured by a smart pen device and used to retrieve a digital document associated with the handwritten data. The handwritten data is analyzed to identify the ink tags. In one embodiment, a computing system performs optical character recognition on the handwriting data to identify a plurality of characters included in the handwriting data and compares one or more characters to formats associated with digital content. Responsive to identifying an ink tag, a digital link between the ink tag and a source for the digital content identified by the ink tag is generated, allowing the digital content to be retrieved by an interaction with the ink tag.
