Application: Method and device for providing reusable learning aids to users (Patent ID: US20230419854A1)
The patent by Toshiba describes a method and device for providing reusable learning aids to users. The method involves printing learning aids on papers using erasable ink, scanning user inputs on these papers, storing the scanned content in a Document Management System (DMS), and erasing the ink for reuse. The unique identifier on each paper corresponds to the user, and user inputs are provided using erasable ink material, such as a heat erasable ink pen.
Additionally, the method includes comparing scanned content with stored learning aids, separating user inputs, storing them in a DMS profile, and allowing users to access the content upon authentication. The Multi-Function Printer (MFP) used for this purpose has a processor and memory to execute these instructions, including embossing learning aids with user inputs for reference. The patent also covers a non-transitory computer-readable medium with instructions for the MFP to perform these operations, ensuring efficient and reusable learning aids for users.
