Method and system for composition and delivery of electronic mail using processing sensor
First Claim
1. A method for composition and transmission of an electronic mail message including:
- printing a document to facilitate composition and transmission of the electronic mail message;
composing the electronic mail message on the document utilizing a sensing device adapted to read coded data in the document;
transmitting interaction data from the sensing device to a computer system, the interaction data representing interaction of the sensing device with the coded data to allow the message to be electronically captured in the computer system; and
transmitting the message to at least one recipient address, wherein the sensing device comprises;
(a) an image sensor adapted to capture images of at least some of the coded data when the sensing device is placed in an operative position relative to the document; and
(b) a processor adapted to;
(i) identify at least some of the coded data from one or more of the captured images;
(ii) determine an orientation, within the captured images, of at least some of the coded data;
(iii) decode at least some of the coded data; and
(iv) generate the interaction data using at least some of the decoded coded data.
