The
core technology behind the Destiny Digital Pen & Paper solution is not
really the pen (although the pen is pretty cool). The real genius of the system
is in the paper, or to be more precise, it’s on the paper.
The Digital Paper technology is enabled through a proprietary `Dot Pattern’ which was developed and is owned and licensed by Anoto AB of Sweden. Your Digital paper form is created by printing a proprietary pattern of very small dots on ordinary paper as part of the printing of your forms.
These dots create a grid of XY co-ordinates that the camera in the pen `reads’ and stores. The pen stores the sequence of dots that reads and can identify exactly where it is leaving ink on the paper. The use of these dots also determines the unique dot pattern that you are writing on so it can't get confused with another form type you may have.
After ticking `send', the file on the pen is finalised and then sent through the internet via mobile phone to the Destiny servers. Once the dot co-ordinates are sent to our servers, they are interpreted and displayed as the pen strokes, just like the original document itself.
The
licensing to access this technology is an annual rental that is paid to Anoto
AB on a per user basis. This licensing structure means that it is a fair and
level playing field by allowing multiple companies to design, develop and
deliver Digital Pen & Paper solutions.
Destiny works closely with Anoto to deliver the best solutions available in the market for businesses in any sector looking to improve productivity & data capture from mobile and field staff. Anoto Dots at 1600%
