A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11922545B2) discloses a computer-readable recording medium containing an input program that enables a computer to perform various functions. These functions include selecting a recognition target from an electronic book displayed on a reference sticky note, displaying a calculation sticky note if a numerical value, mathematical expression, table, or matrix is selected, and linking information obtained or generated to the variable name input by the user. The program further allows for displaying results of calculated mathematical expressions and organizing information from tables and matrices into lists.

Additionally, the patent includes an input device and method based on the described program. The input device comprises an input interface for selecting recognition targets and a processor for displaying calculation sticky notes and linking information to variable names. The processor can determine if a mathematical expression is calculable and display the result accordingly. Furthermore, the input method involves selecting recognition targets, displaying calculation sticky notes, and linking information to variable names. Overall, the patent aims to enhance user interaction with electronic books by facilitating the organization and manipulation of content through sticky notes and variable linking.
