Method for recording stroke data made on a touch sensitive interactive device

Abstract

A system and method for storing data input on an interactive device directly to a removable media device. The method includes detecting connection of a removable media device by an interactive device, authenticating the removable media device using an identification device operatively connected to the removable media device, upon authentication of the removable media device and when a session exists on the interactive device, determining whether a user of the removable media device is a same user of the session, when the user of the removable media device is the same user of the session, automatically copying stroke data on the interactive device to the removable media device, and upon authentication of the removable media device and when a session does not exist on the interactive device, creating a new session associated with the user of the removable media device, and performing an insertion default action.
