NTRODUCTON
Smart quill was invented by Lyndsey Williams of Cambridge
University along with British Telecommunications.
Smart quill is a pen, which remembers the words that writes and
then transfer them into computer text.
Smart quill contains sensors that records movement by using by
using earths gravity irrespective of the platform used

WORKNG
Smart quill works by measuring the pens movements and
matching them to the movements that produce the words and
letters programmed into its memory.
User can enter information into these pens by simply pressing a
button and accelerometers are used to sense the movements of
the pen using earths gravity system

EATURES
DSPLAY SCREEN
The text written can be read on a tiny screen on the
side of the pen and it has a light at its tip which allow
the user to use it even dark

ANDWRTNG RECOGNTON AND

SGNATURE VERCATON
User can train the pen to recognize particular handwriting
f someone else picks your Smart Quill and tries to write with
it- it wont

ANDWRTNG RECOGNTON AND

SGNATURE VERCATON(contd)
There are two techniques used for this purpose
Accelerometer Technology
andwriting recognition Software

ACCELEROMETER TECNOLOGY
This technology uses a device called Accelerometer which is
used for measuring motion
A tiny accelerometer in a pen could be used to detect the stops
and starts, arcs and loops of handwriting, and transmit this
information to a small microprocessor that would make sense
of it as text.

ACCELEROMETER TECNOLOGY
Two types of accelerometer

1)Two axes accelerometer:- measures acceleration in two axes.

ex..ADXL202 accelerometer
2)Three axes accelerometer:-measures acceleration in three
axes. ex..tronics +/-2g






  
This software embedded in the microprocessor of the pen is
used to recognize handwriting of the user.
Two phases in handwriting recognition

andwriting transcription
andwriting recognition







n this phase, the recorded acceleration signals are then
transcripted to its original form.
Method
irstly, we have to know pens spatial orientation.
Secondly, we have to succeed in the double integration.

n ig , we can see the accelerometers signals recorded

during Yanis signing process

DSPLAY SCROLLS USNG TLT SENSORS

By tilting the pen user can chose applications and
scroll through without using scroll buttons
This is done by using Micro Electro-Mechanical
Systems(MEMS) tilt sensors to measure tilt angle with
earth

COMMUNCATON WT OTER DEVCES

The current prototype hooks up to the PC via a cable and
electronic docking station called as inkwell
uture models can receive email and pager messages via
a wireless messaging system.

MEMORY
t uses 4MB EEPROM .
Up to 10 pages of notes can be stored locally on the pen
memory.
The data is stored in the pen locally until it is copied to the
Personal Computer

POWER
Smart quill works on AAA(Antiaircraft Artillery Battery)
battery. t can continuously work 25 hrs with a single AAA
battery
The pen has automatic on/off system
