b) Brief Description of the Related Art
People cannot live without words, figures, sounds and videos for recordation and dissemination of information, but expression of print media far cannot meet actual human needs. Accordingly, experts propose a new concept of “e-paper” such that print media can be combined with audio and video data. Paper reading and electronic reading will be coexistence.
Combination of print media and electronic media is necessary for people and is a trend for development of culture industries. Accordingly, in many years, researchers around the world tirelessly pursued technological breakthroughs.
Various technologies associated with e-paper combination, such as BAR technology, OCR technology, OID technology and X-Y technology, are provided on market. However, these technologies have limitations. Even though researchers have pursued these technologies for many years, passive limitations of these technologies cannot be broken through and thus market utilization rate of these technologies is very low.
Interactive presentation systems for tuition or conference employ a circuit interconnection technology and have no effective solution to complementary use of print media combined with electronic media. Even though numerous electronic reading products on market solve the above problems from a certain aspect, but they are limited to be used in a specific scope.
Some people in society promote electronic readers or laptops acting as electronic reading devices, such as electronic bag or electronic journal, instead of traditional reading manners of paper textbooks and paper journals. For example, do educators and students, when using electronic reading devices, still need to bring traditional paper textbooks? How can people after joining a conference continue to refer to contents in related journals? This promotion is pursued for paperless environments and has been proved to be ineffective for long years.
The applicant provides an effective solution to use of print media combined with electronic media and owns multiple patents for the technology. For example, patent application No. 200410079216.8, entitled as “multi-page foldable data book with PDA”, patent application No. 200510065313.6, entitled as “multifunctional covering device mountable onto PDA”, and patent application No. 200510088377.8, entitled as “braille-word writing device having information processing function” are owned.
Based on a conventional electronic-coordinate technology and a two-dimensional code technology, an on-paper window system fully equivalent to usage conditions of traditional technologies is created.
The on-paper window system provides solutions to technologies associated with traditional print reading and electronic reading. Print media on market are numerous, but more and more technologies are still to be provided to solve issues of code sources, costs, ease of use and so on such that use of traditional print reading combined with electronic reading can be effective and popular.
