Abstract: The invention concerns a method and system for digitally processing information to be written on an observation form, said form being preprinted with at least one blank chart having at least one line and several columns, each column corresponding to a determined printed time, said form being also preprinted with a pattern adapted to cooperate with a digital pen and a computerized localization system for determining the position of the pen; using a pen having a writing tip and a digital tip; filling in data in one column at a time; reproducing said data in the computerized localization system and associating to said data its recording time; and comparing said recording time with the localized printed time of said data, so as to detect any inconsistency between the recording time and the printed time.

Abstract: An instant messaging (IM) system for providing automatic IM services includes a server, at least one client connected to the server, an automatic portal unit connected to the server, and at least one automatic service unit connected to the server. If the automatic portal unit receives a service-activation input from a first client, the automatic portal unit configures a first automatic service unit to provide services to selected clients based on the service-activation input. If the first automatic service unit is configured to provide services to the selected clients, the first automatic service unit provides service responses when receiving communications from the selected clients.
