RoWrite 2 is a smart handwriting, it uses ordinary paper and refill, back cover built-in flexible sensor. When you are writing/drawing, it can capture your ideas, notes and drawings on paper in real time, and convert the content into electronic files, so as to better store and manage the notes.
RoWrite 2 realizes the intelligence of paper writing, with light, thin and compact appearance, maximizes the restoration of book form and texture, brings real writing experience, and also provides 30 days long standby time.

The written content is stored locally or in the cloud in the form of electronic files. You can play back the captured content in video, modify it on your smart device, or share your work via email or social media.

WHY
First, with the development of the digital age, people are used to creating and editing content through keyboards, which is very efficient. But on the other hand, when we need to write with a pen, we often forget the words and have no way to start.
Second, young people are getting in touch with digital products earlier and more and more neglect paper books and written records, which leads to the high rate of myopia among young people.
The study found that areas of the brain associated with learning are more active when people write by hand than when they complete tasks on a keyboard, and handwriting promotes "deep understanding" of new information 」. The emotion injected into the text when writing is lacking in computer entry. People often say that I write my heart by hand. Writing with a pen is actually a good way to express my feelings.

Most of the handwriting products on the market now write on a hard touchpad or screen.
· Write/draw on glass or hard plastic without the feeling of writing on paper
· Need to look at the screen, long-term use may hurt the eyes (especially children and adolescents)
· High product prices
· Requires a dedicated touch pen
· Larger volume

The basic components of handwritten books are: handwritten books, paper books, writing sensing area (to be located under the paper), hardware area (circuit board, battery, keys, etc.)
Basic principle: The pen writes on paper, and the sensing area at the bottom of the notebook monitors the track of the pen in real time and transmits it to the circuit board for identification and storage.

At the beginning of the design, we need to understand the product first. Through brainstorming, the detailed use steps of the product are sorted out, and in each step, the opportunity points for design and experience innovation are found.

The structure of the product determines the form and experience of the product, so it needs to be clarified first. Think about the more feasible architecture, through the manual rapid production of simple models, and let different user groups trial experience, to find a more reasonable architecture.
Architecture 1, Vertical Page Flip
The way of vertical page turning we explored several directions, 1 uneven thickness; 2 uniform thickness; 3. Through simulation tests and research, the audience has narrowed down by turning pages vertically at a younger age (like exercise books).

Architecture 2, left and right page
Turn the page horizontally, more like turning a book or office notebook. So focus on exploring this direction.
In terms of size, the more common A5 size is used, which is the most familiar size, and the writing size is sufficient and easy to carry.

Proofing the program and finding different occupations/genders for research.
In the test, it was found that the pen magnetically attracted to the outside of the handwriting book is easy to fall and lose. The user puts the card in the left storage area, which will cause the notebook to bulge up and become unsightly.
There is no more consistent recognition in the way the product is shaped, and the material preference is obvious. Therefore, the above scheme is integrated.

The intelligent writing book of the final scheme adopts a more symmetrical aesthetic design, with the decoration removed from the exterior surface and the form more concise. The whole leather wraps the metal parts, and the product is closed and the silver sandblasted aluminum alloy is exposed on both sides, which has both quality and affinity. The storage function area is canceled on the left side to make the product simpler.

The front and back covers are made of lamb PU leather, and the inside is made of the same color microfiber short flannel, which has a gentle and delicate touch whether it is carried or written. The hardware is placed in the intermediate metal body, and the metal parts are aluminum alloy anode sandblasting process. We try different particle sizes (180 mesh -220 mesh) for sandblasting. Considering that handwriting is a commonly used hand-held product, both quality and touch should be taken into account, we finally chose the most delicate 220 mesh zirconium sand (which is also the most commonly used thickness for smart phones), although this will increase a lot of cost.

Pen storage and charging
People often lose their pens when they record their daily records. The reason is that the pens do not have a reasonable fixed position. People usually clip them in books or hang them on books through pen clips.
For this reason, we have specially set up the pen placement area on the upper part of the handwriting book. The placement area is concave and has a built-in magnet, which can be easily taken and placed by users and is not easy to fall and lose. In particular, a metal pin point is designed at the concave end, which will automatically charge when the pen is put down, so there is no need to worry about the power of the pen.

We found that the existing pen caps are covered on the pen head by means of profit fit, which is difficult to pull out at the beginning. After a period of time, the pen caps will loosen and not be tightly covered. There are often a lot of pens on our desk without pen caps. To this end, we have designed a magnetic pen cap that is effortless to pull out or cover and does not loosen for a long time. The magnetic pen cap can also be attached to the storage area of the notebook separately, so there is no need to throw it away at will.
The tail of the pen is two circles of electroplated metal parts, which not only plays a decorative role to make the pen more hierarchical and detailed, but also is a charging interface to charge the pen. Ring charging also does not need to be aimed point to point deliberately. Put the pen at will and charge it under the positioning of magnetic attraction.

book fixed
The sensing area on the right side senses the writing track in real time, so the paper on the top needs to be kept fixed, otherwise the recognized tracks will overlap. In order to prevent displacement when writing, we adopt the method of designing the right side as a double-layer material, making it similar to a pocket form. The back cover of the notebook is inserted into the pocket to secure it. The opening of the pocket has also experienced twists and turns, and we have tried many ways to do this.

At first, we used a straight line opening, but the proofing test found that because the ultra-fiber cloth is not elastic, the notebook insertion is very laborious.
Therefore, a transverse opening is added, which is convenient for insertion, but the book will be displaced when writing.
Continue to explore the U-shaped opening, the notebook is easy to insert, there is still a slight displacement when writing, and it is not simple and beautiful enough.

In the end, we designed an opening form similar to an arrow. The middle and upper and lower ends of the opening are not in a straight line, which increases the size of the opening and reduces the tension of the microfiber, thus making the notebook easier to insert. There is no opening in the horizontal direction, which can fix the notebook well. At the same time, the arrow also has a certain indication semantics, implying that the user inserts the notebook to the right.

In order to enable users to obtain a smoother experience, we have a built-in magnet on the left side of the intelligent handwriting book, and a Hall switch is arranged at the corresponding position on the right side. The user can wake up the machine after opening the notebook, close it and stand by. The smoothness of use is almost the same as that of an ordinary notebook.
