Ink Data

The pen stroke information contained within the PGC file. This is the actual data applied to the document (lines, signatures,

text, etc).

Open Document

A document in the Capture Database that does not yet have any ink data on it, or of which not all mandatory fields (or final

field) have ink present on them. Such a document is waiting for a new PGC file to complete it so it can be closed.

Pattern ID

The IDof the Anoto pattern. Represents the pattern on the page. Can be used to retrace the document to which the pattern

belong.

Pattern Sequence

Pattern Sequences enable the multiplication of the number of available pattern by adding an extra identification to the doc-

ument. A Pattern Sequence is also attributed to each Anoto Digital Pen, such as an incoming PGC file will contain the Pattern,

on which the Pattern Sequence is added from the pen database. The pattern and pattern sequence refer to a specific document

in the database. Signing a document with a pen of which the Pattern Sequence does not match that of the document causes

Contamination, which can cause errors or ink to be placed on the wrong document.

Pen ID

The serial number of the Anoto Digital Pen. It is registered in the PlanetPress Capture database and is present in each PGC file.

PGCFile

Pen Generated Coordinates; PGC File containing all ink processed while the pen was undocked along with the Pen ID. It is pos-

sible that a single document requires multiple PGC, just as it is possible that a single PGC have multiple documents.

Pidget

Type of PlanetPress Capture object. Page element used to give instructions to the Anoto pen, as opposed to recording ink.

PlanetPress Capture Database

A database containing the list of patterns, sequences, registered pens and documents. The Capture Database can be used by a

single server, or by multiple servers in a Client/Server architecture.

Session

The time spent by the pen between events that trigger a new session. Generally a session refers to any ink in a single page

containing a Capture Pattern. Asession can contain ink from multiple fields in any order. A new session starts whenever a

PGCis sent for processing (which erases the data from the pen).

General Considerations

Here are some general considerations in regards to PlanetPress Capture, its environment, the hardware and the software that

interacts with it. Please review these considerations carefully as they may impact PlanetPress Capture and its functionality.

PlanetPress Capture Fields cannot simply be inserted into an existing document as-is and expected to work properly,

efficiently or consistently. In order to design a document with Capture Fields, you must review and understand the

Critical PlanetPress Capture Implementation Restrictions.
