Solution Overview

Problem

Current non-high-precision touch frames in interactive boards struggle to accurately determine the type of stylus used, ensure consistent touch areas, differentiate between a stylus and a finger or eraser, and maximize the use of touch point information for effective handwriting erasing.

Innovation Solution

A method and device for erasing handwriting that utilizes a high-precision touch frame to acquire and process touch point information, including coordinates, height, width, and rotation angle, to analyze and match the touch object's geometry shape, enabling precise erasing of handwriting based on acquired touch point data.

Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the system continuously monitors touch point information during the erasing process and dynamically adjusts the erasing geometry shape and size based on the real-time touch object characteristics. This feedback loop enables the system to maximize the use of available touch point information, significantly improving handwriting erasing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamic adaptation in the erasing process by allowing the erasing geometry to change based on the detected touch object properties. The system dynamically determines the appropriate erasing shape (circle, rectangle, irregular) and dimensions based on the real-time touch point information, making the erasing process more efficient and accurate.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality analysis by examining specific local characteristics of the touch point information such as touch area distribution, touch pressure variations, and touch movement patterns. By analyzing these local properties, the system can reliably determine the type of touch object (finger, stylus, eraser) without requiring complex global recognition systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
