4.5 Scanning function

In the matter of scanning modes, I decided two ways of scanning, scanning word by

word as the traditional way, and sweeping over the page back and forth to scan. The

traditional way is more proper when we are carefully reading word by word. The

scanning work is done when we stop reading spontaneously. “Sweep” scanning is more

casual since it does not restrict our hand gesture to a certain way, or it doesn’t need

attention to keep alignment, etc. If we call every single part of a picture “frame”, then

the only thing is to make sure all frames are overlapped with each other so that the

program can stitch them up to an integral one. According to the theory of scanner and

already existed photo stitching program, (supplement 7.3) it is quite possible to embed

the program within the scanner and make it function well. Having the scanning posture

natural and comfortable is the approach to increase the working efficiency.

4.6 Possible development of the concept

A main trend about nowadays activities is sharing and be socialized. This is apparent on

internet. People share their stories, news, opinions, favorite songs, recent activities,

everything online. People find lost contact on Facebook, get job through LinkedIn.

Sharing and be socialized become the modern lifestyle. In my mind, there are three

ways of developing the “Reading Partner” in a social perspective. The first idea is

sharing button, which can be integrated to the current concept. The reader can select

anything from his own collection to publish online, with its own program. People who

share similar content will be connected, the more we share, the more we get

recommended just according to one’s specific taste and preference. The second idea is

to integrate print function. This is inspired by zero ink technology, a new way to print in

full color without the need for ink cartridges or ribbons. Therefore, ZINK photo printer

in a cell phone- sized device shows the possibility. The pen scanner scans and stores text,

searches and edits text. With ZINK technology, readers can make their own reading note

card simultaneously when they are reading. If it is in adhesive paper, it can even be

used as post-it for sharing passages with friends, colleagues, family and oneself. The

third idea is to integrate projector. This is inspired by mini projector and Microsoft

Surface technology. The idea is to project scanned texts on any flat surface that readers

could move around clips of passages to study and compare.
