Abstract

In this achievement, a smart writing kit is introduced, including a magic, a receiver, and software. The magic has a cylindrical body, a transmitter assembly, and an ink cartridge. The transmitter assembly is located inside a housing that is mounted at an angle on the body. The ink cartridge, which is located inside the body, transfers ink to the writing surface through a permeable tip. Also, a removable cap is installed to cover the ink tip and an eraser is installed on the cap. The Magic consists of a power supply and a spring chassis that, when the tip of the pen is pressed against the surface, establishes an electrical current in the transmitter assembly. The receiver is located at a certain distance from the Magic and receives the waves sent by the transmitter. This receiver has a laser adjusted towards the writing location. All components of the receiver, including the wave receiver, laser, processor and electronic boards, are located inside the receiver body. The processors process the received waves and determine the exact location of the Magic. The receiver also has an on / off switch to control the device.

A description of the state of the prior art and the history of developments related to the claimed invention. Traditional whiteboard markers: Whiteboard markers are a popular tool in classrooms and presentations. They are used to write and draw on whiteboards and are widely used due to their simplicity and ease of use. However, these markers have limitations, including the need to replace them frequently due to ink running out or the tip wearing out. Also, there is no way to digitally store what is written with these markers, which forces learners to take notes manually. Electronic whiteboards: Electronic whiteboards are an improvement over traditional whiteboards. They are computer-connected and digitally store written material. Written material can be saved electronically and used in subsequent meetings. However, their high cost and the need for specialized equipment have limited their widespread use. Smart pens: Smart pens are another tool to enhance learning and presentation. These pens use optical or infrared sensors to detect writing and transfer it to smart devices. Some pens require special surfaces or papers, which creates limitations for users. Some smart pens also have internal storage, but transferring data to other devices can be time-consuming. Video and slide recording software: There are software programs that allow you to video record meetings and presentations. These programs use a camera and microphone to record the presentation and save it for later review. These methods require additional equipment and are not a good substitute for whiteboard markers, especially in classes that require writing and drawing on the board at the same time. History of developments: Rechargeable whiteboard markers: In order to reduce costs and improve efficiency, rechargeable whiteboard markers have been introduced. These markers are reusable using refillable ink instead of disposable markers. Although these markers help reduce costs, there is still the problem of the tip wearing out and needing to be replaced frequently. Interactive whiteboards: Interactive whiteboards, using more advanced technologies such as touchscreens and interactive features, allow for greater interaction with educational content. These boards are capable of connecting to the Internet and smart devices, and can store and share content digitally. However, high costs and the need for training for effective use have created limitations for the widespread use of these boards. Digital pens with the ability to connect to smart devices: Newer digital pens that can connect to smart devices and transmit data wirelessly have offered significant improvements in functionality and ease of use. These pens typically work using Bluetooth or radio waves and can transmit writing to smart devices simultaneously. Some pens also have pressure and angle detection capabilities, which increases the accuracy and quality of writing. Overall, there have been many advances in the field of teaching and presentation tools. Although these tools have significant advantages, there are still limitations and problems that require new innovations and further improvements. The alleged writing kit, by utilizing advanced technologies and specific innovations, effectively solves these problems and offers new features and benefits to users.
