INTRODUCTION

Smart quill was invented by Lyndsey Williams Cambridge University along with British telecommunications.

Smart Quill is a pen that remembers the words that writes and then transfer them into computer text.

Smart Quill contains sensors that records movements by using earth’s gravity irrespective of the platform used.

WORKING

Smart Quill works by measuring the pen’s movement and matching them to the movements that produce the words and letters programmed in 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 earth’s gravity system.

SMART QUILL IS DIFFERENT FROM DIGITAL PEN

Smart Quill does not require any surface to write , where as I digital pen a writing surface is required.

Smart Quill uses the normal catridge ink available in the market, it does not require any special ink to write.

SMART QUILL V/S DIGITAL PEN

FEATURES

DISPLAY SCREEN The text written can be read on a tiny

screen on the side of a pen and it has a light at its tip which allows the user to use it even in the dark.

HANDWRITING RECOGNITION AND SIGNATURE VERIFICATION

User can train the pen to recognize particular handwriting.

if someone else picks your Smart Quill and tries to write with it , it-won’t.

There are two techniques used for this purpose

• Accelerometer Technology• Handwriting recognition software

ACCELEROMETER TECHNOLOGY

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 starts and stops, arcs and loops of handwriting, and transmit this information to a small microprocessor that would make sense of it as text.

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.

DISPLAY SCREEN USING TILT SENSORS

By tilting the screen user can choose applications and scroll through without using scroll buttons.

This is done by using Micro Electro-Mechanical(MEMS) tilt sensors to measure tilt angle with earth.

Memory

It 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. It can continuously work 25 hours with a single AAA battery.

The pen has automatic on/off system.

ADVANTAGES

“Spatial sensing system” Security 3D mouse Power saving Smart Quill is all mobile

DISADVANTAGES

It has accelerometer errors. It is inconvenient with persons with

handtremors. Bigger size than normal pen.

APPLICATIONS

Replace keyboard with smart quill. Input to other devices. The wireless messaging system which allows

two way communication. Supports speech recognition. Third party to add on applications.

CONCLUSION The estimated cost of this futuristic pen is

100$. Smart Quill is convenient to use. Smart Quill will be boon to the users writing

in traditional languages.
