Patent number: 7982141Abstract: A pen includes a first speaker that outputs a first signal and a second speaker that outputs a second signal. The first and second speakers are located away from a tip of the pen at respectively different locations. The second signal is delayed with respect to the first signal by a time shorter than a cycle of the first signal. An interpolation time is set between the times of generation of the first and second signals. Interpolated positions of the first and second speakers at the interpolation time are estimated, and position of the tip of the pen is calculated from the interpolated positions of the first and second speakers.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2007Date of Patent: July 19, 2011Assignee: Ricoh Company, LimitedInventors: Sadao Takahashi, Satoshi Suga, Toshiyuki Furuta, Tomohiko Beppu, Hirofumi Horikawa, Yuuta Hamada

Publication number: 20070195370Abstract: A workflow system for performing a process according to information input to an electronic form from an input screen displaying the electronic form, and inputting handwritten information of a corresponding paper form to the electronic form is disclosed. Based on screen formation data used for forming the input screen, paper layout information defining the paper form corresponding to the input screen is generated. The paper form is printed based on the paper layout information together with a form ID identifying the electronic form. An image of the printed paper form to which handwritten information is added is input. The handwritten information and the form ID are extracted from the image of the paper form input, converted to electronic handwritten information, and input to the electronic form corresponding to the extracted form ID.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2006Publication date: August 23, 2007Inventors: Satoshi Suga, Toshiyuki Furuta, Tomohiko Beppu, Sadao Takahashi, Hirofumi Horikawa, Yuuta Hamada
