Techniques that facilitate tracking of physical locations of paper documents
First Claim
1. A method of storing information that enables tracking of physical locations of paper documents, the method comprising:
- generating a paper document using a paper document output device, wherein an identification tag is physically associated with the paper document;
determining identification information stored by the identification tag, wherein the identification information determined from the identification tag is used to identify the paper document;
storing the identification information; and
storing physical location information identifying a physical location of the paper document such that the physical location information is associated with the stored identification information.

Abstract
Techniques that facilitate tracking of physical locations of paper documents. Embodiments of the present invention can track physical locations of paper documents that have identification tags physically associated with them. Each identification tag that is physically associated with a paper document is configured to store information that can be used to uniquely identify the paper document with which the identification tag is physically associated. For a particular paper document, the identification tag physically associated with the particular paper document along with information stored in the identification tag facilitates tracking of the physical location of the particular paper document.
