Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems and methods are provided for searching for analog data, including hand writing, facial expressions and voice data. With respect to analog writing, a device records and stores analog writing, including time, pressure and position as a writing tool moves on a touch screen device. A search term that includes time, pressure and position data, is received. The search term is compared with the time, pressure and position stored on the device. If they are similar, then the stored analog writing is displayed. In other example embodiments, facial expressions and voice data can be used as search terms to respectively search for stored facial expressions and voice data.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method performed by a computing device for searching for analog data, comprising: receiving a digital search term; using the digital search term to search an analog writing mapping database, a facial expressions mapping database and a voice mapping database, the mapping databases respectively comprising mappings between digital text and analog writing, mappings between digital text and photos of facial expressions, and mappings between digital text…
