Image bearing surface
View Patent ↗An image bearing surface. In accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention, an image bearing surface comprises a surface for interacting with a writing element of an electronic interactive device to embody a user created image thereon. The image bearing surface includes a first demarked region for accepting a plurality of user created images, each of the images representing a user response to a question, and a second demarked region for accepting a plurality of user created images identifying characteristics of the first demarked region to the electronic interactive device. The first and second demarked regions comprise a permanently printed encoded pattern of location information on the surface for providing location information to the electronic interactive device. The image bearing surface may be used to facilitate the use of supplementary educational testing materials.
1. An image bearing surface comprising:
a surface for interacting with a writing element of an electronic interactive device to embody a user created image thereon;
a first demarked region of said surface for accepting a first plurality of user created images, each of said first images representing a user response to a question;
a second demarked region of said surface for accepting a second plurality of user created images, wherein said second plurality of user created images identify characteristics of said first demarked region to said electronic interactive device; and
wherein said first and second demarked regions comprise an encoded pattern of location information printed on said surface for providing location information to said electronic interactive device.
2. The image bearing surface of claim 1 wherein said question is embodied on said image bearing surface.
3. The image bearing surface of claim 1 wherein said first demarked region is permanently printed.
4. The image bearing surface of claim 1 wherein said characteristics comprise a number of questions embodied on said surface.
5. The image bearing surface of claim 4 wherein said characteristics comprise a range of numbers corresponding to said questions embodied on said surface.
6. The image bearing surface of claim 1 wherein said characteristics comprise a type of said question.
7. The image bearing surface of claim 6 wherein said question is of the set comprising true/false and multiple choice questions.
8. The image bearing surface of claim 1 wherein said characteristics comprise a correct answer to said question.
9. The image bearing surface of claim 1 comprising a plurality of demarked regions that, when one of such regions is selected by said electronic interactive device, provides an instruction to said electronic interactive device for executing a function within said electronic interactive device.
