Networked digital displayed thinking system and display writing tool

摘要

The present invention relates, in general, to a networked digital displayed thinking systems and display writing tools and, more particularly, to displayed thinking systems capable of writing, reading, storing, recalling, updating, and tele-conferencing displayed thinking concepts using a digital network format. A displayed thinking system according to the present invention could be made from a digital paper technology so that it could digitally display information and could be flexible enough to roll up into a container such as a movie screen does today. This system may also include a networked server that may be attached to the digital display board and may control what information would be displayed on it. This server would be able to receive information from the users and convert them into digital cards that could be displayed on the screen. The system may also include a set of user interfaces that may be networked into the server also. These user interfaces could be handheld computers or PDAs that may be held by the individual users and used to input information to the network server to be displayed. In an embodiment of. the present invention a stylus is provides, capable of writing directly onto the digital media. The digital media controller may be capable of reading the media to detect and record changes and additions to the display media produced from the stylus.
