Abstract

An information management apparatus includes a processor, and a memory configured to store computer-readable instructions. The instructions instruct the information management apparatus to execute steps including acquiring stroke data of a trajectory of an approaching writing device detected by a detection portion capable of detecting the trajectory and including data of the trajectory of the writing device corresponding to schedule information written on a paper medium, generating image data of the trajectory based on the acquired stroke data, generating text data based on the acquired stroke data, and registering and managing the schedule information identified from the text data and the image data.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An information management apparatus comprising:
a processor, and
a memory configured to store computer-readable instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to perform processes comprising:
acquiring stroke data, the stroke data being data of a trajectory of a writing device within a plurality of writing areas within a paper medium, the stroke data being detected by a detection portion capable of detecting the trajectory and including data of the trajectory of the writing device corresponding to schedule information written on the paper medium, the writing device comprising a coil held between a core body and a condenser, wherein each of the plurality of writing areas within the paper medium has a predetermined position;
generating image data of the trajectory based on the acquired stroke data, the image data maintaining the predetermined position of each of the plurality of writing areas;
generating text data based on the acquired stroke data; and
registering and managing the schedule information and the image data within a schedule management application, the schedule information being identified from the text data, wherein a user of the schedule management application may view the image data and the text data within the schedule management application.

2. The information management apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the computer-readable instructions further cause the processor to perform processes comprising:
notifying a user that a date is further ahead in time than a specific timing, when the date indicated by date information included in the schedule information identified from the text data is further ahead in time than the specific timing.

3. The information management apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the computer-readable instructions further cause the processor to perform processes comprising:
automatically correcting a date when the date indicated by date information included in the schedule information identified from the text data is further ahead in time than a specific timing.

4. The information management apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the registering and managing of the schedule information and the image data includes registering and managing the schedule information of an individual as a personal schedule corresponding to personal identification information when registering and managing the schedule information identified from the text data, the personal identification information being information that is written on the paper medium and that identifies the individual and being information that corresponds to the data of the trajectory of the writing device included in the acquired stroke data.

5. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed, cause an information management apparatus to perform processes comprising:
acquiring stroke data, the stroke data being data of a trajectory of a writing device within a plurality of writing areas within a paper medium, the stroke data being detected by a detection portion capable of detecting the trajectory and including data of the trajectory of the writing device corresponding to schedule information written on the paper medium, the writing device comprising a coil held between a core body and a condenser, wherein each of the plurality of writing areas within the paper medium has a predetermined position;
generating image data for the trajectory based on the acquired stroke data, the image data maintaining the predetermined position of each of the plurality of writing areas;
generating text data from the acquired stroke data; and
registering and managing the schedule information identified from the generated text data and the generated image data within a schedule management application, wherein the image data and the text data are selectably viewable within the schedule management application.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 5 , wherein the computer-readable instructions further cause the information management apparatus to perform processes comprising:
notifying a user that a date is further ahead in time than a specific timing, when the date indicated by date information included in the schedule information identified from the text data is further ahead in time than the specific timing.

7. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 5 , wherein the computer-readable instructions further cause the information management apparatus to perform processes comprising:
automatically correcting a date when the date indicated by date information included in the schedule information identified from the text data is further ahead in time than a specific timing.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 5 , wherein
the registering and managing of the schedule information and the image data includes registering and managing the schedule information of an individual as a personal schedule corresponding to personal identification information when registering and managing the schedule information identified from the text data, the personal identification information being information that is written on the paper medium and that identifies the individual and being information that corresponds to the data of the trajectory of the writing device included in the acquired stroke data.
