ABSTRACT:
An information management system and method incorporates an electronic clipboard having a paper form integrated with projected lights as the user input and output interface, the electronic clipboard being adapted for inputting, processing, displaying, transmitting, receiving and outputting information through an innovative combination of simple, universally understood components, e.g., paper, clocks, pen, switches and lights. The electronic clipboard of the present invention is a unique form interface between user and computer for facilitation of extremely user-friendly remote data entry, information management and communication with a host computer, digital input device or remote pager. The electronic clipboard device comprises a large number of precisely located switches and lights beneath a display surface which project various colors, intensities, blinking frequency, etc., directly through the customized paper form by illuminating formatted paper forms placed firmly and precisely on the display surface. The lights transmit signals and status to an operator by displaying different colors as directed by software in a microprocessor in response to information entered manually by the operator or received from separate digital input devices and effectively convert a standard piece of paper into an 8.5 in..times.11 in. display device.
