Chapter 1 Product Introduction:
The IQ E-Tablet is a portable mini electronic whiteboard distributed by A Brighter
Image Pty Ltd with exclusive patent technology. The system is mainly composed of
receiver, digital pen and wireless adapter (special for wireless type).
When writing/ operating on the flat screen (such as LCD or laptop), the digital pen will
send out wireless signal so that the receiver can detect and catch the location and the
information of their moves, then send all the information to the computer connected
through USB line or wireless Bluetooth (special for wireless type).
Fixed on flat screen (such as LCD or laptop), the IQ E-Tablet can transform a normal
computer screen into a flat panel computer. When used on paper or plastic hard
surface, it can save the writing as an original document, electronically sign any text file,
or create an electronic image using free drawing or tracing. It therefore substitutes for
a writing board, scanner, printer and digital camera; and when used with a projector, it
can form an interactive demonstrating system to achieve various teaching and demo
effects of interactive whiteboard, without the need for the whiteboard! Simply project
the image onto a projection screen for the class or audience to see the real-time
interactive effects.
The user can use the digital pen instead of mouse, to click, double-click and right-click,
to operate and control your computer. Through the IQ Whiteboard Software (included
with the Bluetooth version of the pen), various interactive teaching and demonstrating
functions can be achieved, such as handwriting, cleaning, mark (mark in character,
line, dimension and angle), drag, zoom, reveal, spotlight, screen capture, picture save,
screen record and playback, handwriting recognition, keyboard input, text input,
hyperlink to video, sound and webpage, and remote conference by Netmeeting. It is
also very useful in preparing lessons and presentations for class and conference use.
IQ E-Tablet retains traditional writing and lecturing techniques, it only takes you 1
minute to install, and so long as you are skilled in operating computer you can master
the its usage within 10 minutes. This product can be widely applied in various
occasions requiring electronic and remote education, such as teaching, speaking,
Multi-media network conference, electronic business, work report, remote medical,
product exhibition, training, military command, Scientific research, engineering,
project design, security commentary, Entertainment and telecast, sport, map,
meteorology, astronomy, GPS, interactive report, hotel, restaurant, university, college,
and school. The wireless version is a tablet mouse and a virtual interactive combined,
with storage for 100 pages of A4 notes.

Chapter 2 Function Features:
2.1. Integrates various powerful functions such as screen touch and write,
electronic notes (record), document draft, table make & fill, drawing design,
instant text-image communication, electronic teaching and demonstration; can
completely replace a PC touch screen, writing screen, electronic whiteboard,
electronic drawing board, writing board, mouse and so on, achieving the
perfect combination of traditional teaching techniques with computer usage.
2.1.1 Screen touch and write: By mounting the receiver on the top of screen, users
can use the digital pen instead of a mouse to click, double click and right click, thus
operating and controlling the computer. Working with IQ whiteboard software, direct
writing and various teaching and demonstration effects can be achieved. In this way,
the IQ E-Tablet can transform a normal computer to a Tablet PC or a electronic
interactive whiteboard.
2.1.2 Digital notes and document drafting: Without changing a person’s normal writing
style, IQ E-Tablet can help many types of people (such as student, minute-taker, officer,
doctor, document drafter, and writer, etc) to write directly on any paper material and other
material, and save the writing content both on paper and as a computer file. Moreover,
through the text recognition technology, Note Genius can convert the writing content to
text file, thus save enormous time and keep the consistency of your thinking when you are
taking note or writing. It can completely replace the noting and handwriting functions of a
writing board, scanner, copier and digital camera. Even people with little computer
knowledge will find operating a computer as simple as mobile phone. The IQ E-Tablet
assists teaching techniques, accelerates the process of educational learning and office
automation, provides a portable writing and presentation aid, and removes the need to
convert or re-type written notes.
2.1.3 Form filling: You can use IQ E-Tablet to fill various forms using standard
layouts, such as filling the bank forms, company reports and various standard
government forms. It can save these forms both as the original signed document and
as an electronically signed file. The real-time data input and text conversion also
greatly improves working efficiency and service quality.
2.1.4 Electronic comment and signature: IQ E-Tablet can retain traditional writing
techniques; it supports writing, text editing, marking, picture inserting, drawing, and
various special demo effects and assistant functions in POWERPOINT (include Slide
Playing Mode), WORD, EXCEL and other software, the file can be saved without
changing its format, thus greatly improving efficiency. It also provides electronic
signature function for Webpage and OA systems, safe and reliably.

2.1.5 Direct Drawing and Instant Text-image communication: Also supports any
special effect tools attached in software. E.g., you can use drawing software like
PHOTOSHOP and Paint for direct drawing; you also can directly write in some
messengers (MSN, ICQ, QQ) and e-mail; and send a hand written or typed message
and e-mail.
2.1.6 Electronic education and demonstration: The IQ E-Tablet retains traditional
demo and teaching techniques – lecturing and writing at the same time, but also
enables the presentation of demo and teaching lessons in digitalized multi-media. Its
capability of pre-lesson preparation, saving new lessons or presentations, saving
changes to lessons and standard MS files makes the IQ E-Tablet and software a
powerful teaching and presentation tool. The abundant and powerful resource library
included in the software makes it easy for the preparation of lessons and
presentations to improve the overall learning effect. And because any class content
can be saved as a PC file, the audience need not take notes, thus allowing them to
pay more attention to the lecture, understand its meaning, share their ideas, and bring
more pleasure and interest in their study and conference.
Another feature that should not be forgotten is that it prevents teachers or speakers
suffering the risk of eyesight strain and/or damage due to their long time lecturing in
front of the projector spotlight.

6.1.3 Connecting the signal receiver to the computer
There are two ways for connecting the signal receiver (pen box) with the computer
First: use USB cable to connect. Connect one side of the USB cable to the USB port
of the computer, the other side to the USB port of signal receiver, then the red
indicator of receiver will light up or flash. If you move the digital pen or press the keys
on the digital pen within the receiving range, the cursor on will follow your move, and
the green indicator on the receiver will be normally on. This means the connection is
successful. After you move the digital pen away, the green indicator will turn off.
Second: Use wireless adapter to connect. Plug the wireless adapter into the USB port
on computer, turn power switch on the back of the signal receiver at “ON” position,
now the receiver is under wireless connecting mode, the red indicator on the receiver
flashes once every four seconds. If you move the digital pen or press the keys on the
digital pen within the receiving range, the cursor will follow your move, and the green
indicator on the receiver will be normally on. This means the connection is successful.
If the connection failed, you can try to turn the power switch several times, until you
succeed.
Caution:
1. All types of IQ E-Tablet (Standard, Storage, and Wireless) can use USB cable to connect
the signal receiver and computer.
2. When using USB cable for connection, it doesn’t matter whether the power switch on the
back of receiver is at “ON” or “OFF” position, because now the signal receiver is powered by
USB cable.
Caution:
1. The wireless adapter only works on the IQ E-Tablet Wireless type.
2. If the connection still fails after you have turned the power switch on the back of the
receiver several times, you can try to charge the receiver before connection.
3. When you want to switch IQ E-Tablet Wireless type from Electronic Noting to Screen
Writing, you can turn the power switch on the back of the receiver to “OFF” position first, then
turn to “ON” position to switch.
