Abstract
A system is provided that includes a pen-enabled computing arrangement having a capture interface and at least one processing element. The capture interface can capture an electronic input defining a stroke through a plurality of concatenated regions. In addition, the handwriting capture interface can also optionally capture an electronic handwriting input based upon a position of the writing stylus with reference to a position-determining pattern. Each of the concatenated regions corresponds to a region of an identification pattern including a plurality of regions that are each associated with a character of an identifier associated with an object. The stroke includes a plurality of portions referenced to respective regions of the identification pattern such that the processing element can determine the identifier based upon the respective regions of the identification pattern, and associate the electronic input with the object associated with the identifier.
