II. Introduction

5 pen PC technology is a computer technology in style of pen. It was

developed in 2012 by a Japanese Technology Company, NEC. This
technology consists of an input device with input that can be taken
from handwriting, a Central Processing Unit, a small projector and a
camera along with a mobile phone.

Five pen pc shortly called as P-ISM (“Pen-style Personal Networking

Gadget Package”), is nothing but the new discovery, which is under
developing stage by NEC Corporation.

P-ISM is a gadget package including five functions: a CPU pen,

communication pen with a cellular phone function, virtual keyboard,
a very small projector, and a camera.

P-ISMs are connected with one another through short-range wireless

technology. The whole set is also connected to the Internet through
the cellular phone function. This personal gadget in a minimalist pen
style enables the ultimate ubiquitous computing.

Using 5 pen PC technology, monitor and keyboard is produced on a

flat surface. The functions of these keyboards and monitors are
similar to a normal personal computer (PC). It mostly uses pen
(stylus) for input. It uses a special Operating System that supports
handwriting recognition. It is a small handheld device.

III. History

The conceptual prototype of the “pen” computer was built in 2003. The
prototype device, dubbed the “P-ISM”, was a “Pen-style Personal
Networking Gadget” created in 2003 by Japanese technology company
NEC. The P-ISM was featured at the 2003 ITU Telecom World held in
Geneva, Switzerland

Pen-style Personal Networking Gadget" created in 2012 by Japanese

technology company NEC. Its designer Tour Ichihashi. P-ISM was first
featured at the 2011 ITU Telecom world held in Geneva, Switzerland.

The design concept uses five different pens to make a computer. One
pen is a CPU, one creates a virtual keyboard, other projects the
visual output and thus the display and a communicator (a phone). All
five pens can rest in a holding block which recharges the batteries
and holds the mass storage. Each pen communicates wireless,
possibly Bluetooth.”

A Pen-style Personal Networking Gadget Package it seems that

information terminals are infinitely getting smaller. However, we will
continue to manipulate them without our hands for now. We have
visualized the connection between the latest technology and the
human, in a form of a pen.

An article about the device published on the Wave Report website in

2004 explains at ITU Telecom World we got a sample of another view
by NEC, it is based on the pen and called P-ISM.

This concept is so radical that we went to Tokyo to learn more. The

designer of the 5 Pen Technologies, “Toru Ichihashi”, said that “In
developing this concept the asked himself- “What is the future of IT
when it is small?” The pen was a logical choice. He also wanted a
product that you could touch and feel. Further the intent is to allow
for an office anywhere.”

However, the prototype displayed at ITU Telecom World was

apparently the only sample that was built and reportedly cost
$30,000. Thus, while the prototype may have proved that such
technology is feasible, it is currently unclear when-or even if personal
computers of this type will become available to the public. Several
years on from the initial launch of the P-ISM conceptual prototype,
there seems to be little information available about future plans.

IV. Working of P-ISM

 P-ISM Are connected with one other through short-range wireless
technology.

 This “pen sort of instrument” produces both the monitor as well

as the keyboard on any flat surfaces.
 The whole set is connected to the internet through the cellular
phone.
 Most pen computers are hand-held devices, which are too small
for a full-size keyboard.

V. Components of P-ISM
1. CPU PEN

The function of the CPU is done by one of the pens. It is also known
as computing engine. It consists of dual core processor embedded in
it and works with WINDOWS operation system. The central process
unit (CPU) is the portion of a computers system that carries out the
instructions of a computer program and is the primary element
carrying out the computer’s function.

The central processing unit carries out each instruction of the

program in sequence, to perform the basic arithmetical, logical and
input/output operation of the system.

CPUs for a particular application has largely given way to the

development of mass- produced processors that are made for one or
many purposes. CPUs to be designed and manufactured to tolerances
on the order of nanometers. Both the miniaturization and
standardization of CPUs have increased the presence of these digital
devices in modern life far beyond the limited application of dedicated
computing machines.

P-ISMs are connected with one another through short-range wireless

technology. The whole set is also connected to the Internet through
the cellular phone function. They are connected through Tri-wireless
modes (Bluetooth, 802.11 B/G) and terabytes of data, exceeding the
capacity of today’s hard disks,

This is very effective because we can able to connect whenever we

need without having wires. They are used at the frequency band of
2.4 GHz ISM (although they used different access mechanisms).
Bluetooth mechanism is used for exchanging signal status
information between two devices.

These techniques have been developed that do not require

communication between the two devices (such as Bluetooth’s
Adaptive Frequency Hopping), the most efficient and comprehensive
solution for the most serious problems can be accomplished by
silicon venders. They can implement information exchange capacities
with in the designs of the Bluetooth.

3. VIRTUAL KEYBOARD

The Virtual Laser Keyboard (VKB) is the ULTIMATE new gadget for
PC users. The VKB emits laser on to the desk where it looks like the
keyboard having QWERTY arrangement of keys i.e., it use a laser
beam to generate a full-size perfectly operating laser keyboard that
smoothly connects to of PC and most of the hand held devices. As we
type on the laser Projection, it analyses what we are typing according
to the co-ordinates of the location.

A virtual keyboard is a software component that allows a user to

enter characters. A virtual keyboard can usually be operated with
multiple input devices, which may include a touch screen, an actual
keyboard, a computer mouse, a head mouse and an eye mouse.

Virtual keyboards are commonly used as non-screen input method in

devices with no physical keyboard, where there is no room for one,
such as a packet computer, personal digital assistant (PDA), tablet
computer or touch screen equipped mobile phone. It is common for
the user to input text by tapping a virtual keyboard built into the

4. LED PROJECTOR

The role of monitor is taken by LED Projector which projects in the

screen. The size of the projector is of A4 size. It has the approximate
resolution capacity of 1024 X 768. Thus, it is giving more clarity and
good picture.

Common display resolutions for a portable projector include SVGA

(800 X 600 pixels), XGA (1024 X 768 pixels), 720p (1280 X 720
pixels), and 1080p (1920 X 1080 pixels).

A video projector is a device that receives a video signal and projector

the corresponding image on projection screen using a less system. All
video projectors use a very bright light to project the image, Video
projectors are widely used for conference room presentations.

LED projectors use one of the above mentioned technologies for

image creation, with a difference that they use an array of Light
Emitting Diodes as the light source.

5. DIGITAL CAMERA

The digital camera is the shape of pen. It is useful in video recording,

video conferencing, simply it called as webcam. It is also connected
with other devices through Bluetooth. It is a 360 degrees visual
communication device. This terminal will enable us to know about
the surrounding atmosphere and group communication with around
display and a central super wide angle camera.

Digital cameras are incorporated in to many devices ranging from

PDAs and mobile phones (called camera phones) to vehicles. The
Hubble Space Telescope and other astronomical devices are
essentially specialized digital cameras.

Many of these cameras can store images in a Raw image format, or

processed and JPEG compressed, or both. The majority have a built-
in flash similar to those found in DSLRs.

VIII. Conclusion

The communication devices are becoming smaller and compact. This

is only a example for the start of this new technology. We can expect
more such developments in the future, It seems that information
terminals are infinitely getting smaller. However, we will continue to
manipulate them with our hands for now. We have visualized the
connection between the latest technology and the human, in a form
of a pen. P-ISM is a gadget package including five functions: a pen-
