Communication (data transfer) equipment

The are two different possibilities of sending Fictrix pen data to a  connection/communication device.

  1. Bluetooth Connection : Pushing pen data as a file from the pen to a connection device via Bluetooth. For example, the connection device could be a mobile phone, a PC, or a PDA.
  2. Synchronizing pen data with a PC via USB

pen to telephone

In both scenarios the connection device can be the device where the information from the pen is to be processed, but it can also be the first link in a chain where the  information is processed by other devices or on other platforms.

Regardless of how the information from the pen is transported there is a need for some sort of mechanism routing the information to the correct application. If all pen data generated from a pen should be provided to one and the same application the routing is more of a forwarder, while a more advanced routing mechanism is required if different pen data is to be sent to different applications.
