Abstract

A method of updating an electrophoretic display that makes use of an electrophoretic display capable of receiving and displaying a transmitted digital photograph, a marker and a digital camera capable of transmitting digital images to a destination, the display including a transparent cover that can be marked on by the marker. First, an image is displayed on the electrophoretic display, and the marker is used to mark the cover, thereby forming markings. Then a digital photograph of the display is taken with the digital camera. Finally, the photograph is transmitted to the electrophoretic display and displayed on the electrophoretic display, thereby displaying both the image and the markings.

1 . A method of updating an electrophoretic display, comprising:
 a. providing an electrophoretic display capable of receiving and displaying a transmitted digital photograph, a marker and a digital camera capable of transmitting digital images to a destination, said display including a transparent cover that can be marked on by said marker;   b. displaying an image on said electrophoretic display, and marking on said cover with said marker, thereby forming markings;   c. taking a digital photograph of said display with said digital camera;   d. transmitting said photograph to said electrophoretic display and displaying said photograph on said electrophoretic display, thereby displaying both said image and said markings.
