Text Box: INFRASTRUCTURE - RFID - Hand Writable RFID Readable Forms/Processes

Text Box: Passive or active forms/labels and process promises to make data input infrastructure cheap. Prior to the DramaView System… As illustrated below, under the “current paradigm”, a user may input data into an RFID based system in three basic ways. A user may use a tablet PC to write upon, a user may use a coordinate tracking pen to write with, or a user may use a PC based system to key in data. Each of these data input technologies, require that the user be equipped with expensive infrastructure to interface with the system. Moreover, the user generally is interfacing directly with a computer system or database as opposed to interfacing with an RFID readable medium (tag or form). Thus equipping a moderately sized work force within an organizational structure can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in infrastructure costs whereby each user can input data into the back-end of the system. Moreover, the user interface generally does not create RFID readable information. Pre-DramaView, the current paradigm requires that expensive infrastructure be accessible to users so they can input data into the back end of a data collection system. Input data is generally not RFID readable. The DramaView System… As illustrated below, using the DramaView hand writable RFID readable tags or forms or labels, a user may input data into an RFID based system by simply writing upon the tag or form. In real-time, or at a subsequent time, when the tag comes into an RFID equipped facility, the characters written by the user will be RFID sensed, interpreted, and converted to meaningful data. Thus the user interfaces with a substrate such as a piece of paper and an ordinary pen to create RFID readable data which can be read at any subsequent time or location by standard RFID systems using processes pioneered by DramaView. The pen and several paper substrate tags easily fitting within the shirt pocket of a user. The DramaView paradigm puts very inexpensive infrastructure in the hands of users (even millions of users within the general public) and involves processes for capturing and converting their writing to data using RFID. A single user can be equipped to input data to the system for less than $1. Thus thousands of users within an organization can be equipped to interface with an RFID system for $1,000. Moreover, the general public consisting of hundreds of millions of users can create data which is RFID readable. A well known example where millions of public users presently interface with a service is the United States Postal Service (USPS). As discussed below, such a public interface requires a very low infrastructure cost such as that provided by DramaView’s had writable RFID readable forms and processes. A DramaView based USPS system would involve members of the public purchasing labels upon which they write the addressee’s address. When the envelope with the label arrives at the USPS, it is RFID scanned and the user’s writing is captured as data which is used to route the envelope.

Text Box: PUBLIC APPLICATION - RFID - Hand Writable RFID Readable Forms/Processes

Text Box: Millions of users inputting data into one of the largest mail routing services in the world. A User Interface With US Postal Service … DramaView hand writable RFID readable forms makes collecting data from enormous groups of users possible because our writable paper substrate tags/forms/labels are so cheap. Presently, the USPS does not have plans to incorporate our RFID labels into their letter distribution channel but it illustrates a need for an organization to interface with millions of users with low infrastructure cost achieved using DramaView hand writable RFID readable labels. User buys an RFID readable label (green), hand addresses it to a recipient (blue), and sticks it onto an envelope (black). The USPS uses RFID to sense the address on the envelope and controls business processes (routing to the addressee). Using hand writable RFID readable labels, a user can create data utilized by a third party at extraordinarily low costs to drive business processes.

Text Box: PRIVATE APPLICATION - RFID - Hand Writable RFID Readable Forms/Processes

Text Box: An organization’s users in the field can create RFID data using labels and an ordinary pen A User Interface For Employees On the Move… Truckers, nurses, sales people, field engineers etc can create and collect data in the field with an infrastructure so small that it can fit within their shirt pocket including labels and an ordinary pen. In the below illustration, a trucker has written upon a hand writable RFID readable label and stuck it to a box. The label describes the condition of the box that the trucker encountered in the field. User is given RFID readable labels (green), hand writes upon them as conditions dictate (blue), and sticks it onto a box envelope (black). The trucker’s employer will sense the writing when the box returns to an RFID environment. The writing on the label is captured as data and used to control business processes (routing of the box). The DramaView System… As illustrated above, using the DramaView hand writable RFID readable tags or forms or labels, a user may input data into an RFID based system by simply writing upon the tag or form. In real-time, or at a subsequent time, when the tag comes into an RFID equipped facility, the characters written by the user will be RFID sensed, interpreted, and converted to meaningful data. Thus the user interfaces with a substrate such as a piece of paper and an ordinary pen to create RFID readable data which can be read at any subsequent time or location by standard RFID systems using processes pioneered by DramaView. The pen and several paper substrates easily fitting within the shirt pocket of a user.

Text Box: DATA INJECTION - RFID - Hand Writable RFID Readable Forms

Text Box: Data can be put onto a DramaView form using standard processes and by writing with an ordinary pen. DVTI’s (DramaView’s) data injection processes involve first the creation of an RFID tag or form which includes a machine encryption process during manufacturing. The machine encrypted identifier from the tag is stored in a database so that it can be uniquely identified. Subsequently, a user writes upon the tag or form and thereby creates characters upon the form. Later, when the form is sensed using RFID, the characters written by the user are sensed and a character recognition process converts them to data. The data is used to control business processes. Prior to the DVTI hand writable tags, data input required a computer interface. Standard data injection techniques prior to DVIT’s technology and processes required a computer interface to input data into either the tag or into the database.

Text Box: CHARACTER RECOGNITION - RFID - Hand Writable RFID Readable Forms

Text Box: DramaView tags or forms store characters and the pen stroke directions of their users. DramaView’s intellectual property portfolio includes multiple means to enable the storage of a user’s pen stroke directions. As a user writes upon a DVTI tag or form, the direction of their pen strokes are stored upon or within the tag or form. These pen stroke directions enable a character recognition process to distinguish between characters that may otherwise look alike. The process of converting the user’s writing to data can utilize these pen strokes directions to achieve a high level of accuracy in converting writing to usable data. When written upon, DVTI’s passive or active tags capture the user’s pen stroke direction. This can be read using RFID or optical scanning/OCR processes. The direction of the user’s pen strokes help a system determine which characters a user wrote. Implications for OCR (Optical Character Recognition) accuracy DramaView’s intellectual property portfolio comprises multiple mechanisms to store a user’s pen stroke directions on a paper tag that can be scanned using RFID and/or OCR. In the OCR embodiment, an ordinary sheet of paper can store a user’s pen stroke directions for very accurate character recognition. In addition to RFID, DVTI’s technology enables a very cheap OCR process that is very accurate.

Text Box: Processes RFID – Hand Writable and RFID Readable FormsText Box: Passive or active substrate and process promise to make data input infrastructure cheap. DramaView is developing an IP portfolio that will comprise approximately 20 patents encompassing multiple writable form technologies and data reading processes. One process in essence involves the steps of; a user writes upon a specially prepared form with an ordinary pen, at a later time, when the form is sensed using a standard RFID system (or SAW), what the user wrote is sensed. The user’s writing is converted to meaningful data, the user’s input is stored as data in a database and is used to drive business processes. Process flow from a hand writable form that is later sensed using RFID/SAW for conversion to data.
