Abstract: An apparatus and method for wireless communication using an acoustic signal in a system including a first device including a loudspeaker and a second device including a microphone. The first device generates wireless communication information, converts the wireless communication information to an acoustic signal, and transmits the acoustic signal to the second device using the loudspeaker. The second device receives the acoustic signal using the microphone, extracts the wireless communication information from the acoustic signal, generates an acknowledgment signal according to the extracted wireless communication information, and transmits the acknowledgment signal to the first device on a wireless communication channel.

Abstract: An editing apparatus and an editing method in a pen computing system using a whole display screen as an input window. Edited information written or drawn by a user on a transparent layer, which is displayed over original text, is stored as a picture or translated into computer-processible recognition data. Each transparent layer has a layer identifier. The user can display multiple layers over the original text by selecting layer identifiers to reflect layer information in a picture form or in a computer code form. The layer information, if demanded by the user, can be combined with the original text in order to generate edited text.
