System for authorising a user to use a sensing device using a form
First Claim
1. A system for authorising a user to interact with computer software using a sensing device and a form, the form having disposed thereon or therein information relating to at least one signature field, and coded data at least partially indicative of the signature field, the coded data being coincident with the information, and wherein the~ system includes a computer system for:
- receiving indicating data from a sensing device-, the sensing device, when moved relative to the signature field, sensing the coded data and generating the indicating data using the sensed coded data, the indicating data being at least partially indicative of;
a sensing device identifier;
the signature field; and
, movement of the sensing device relative to the signature field, the movement relating to a handwritten signature provided by the user;
determining, from the indicating data, signature data at least partially indicative of a handwritten signature;
identifying, from the indicating data, the sensing device identifier;
accessing, using the sensing device identifier and from a data store, stored signature data; and
, comparing the stored signature data to the signature data to thereby authorise the user.

Abstract
A system for authorising a user to interact with computer software using a sensing device and a form. The form includes disposed thereon or therein information relating to at least one signature field, and coded data at least partially indicative of the signature field. The coded data is coincident with the information so that when a sensing device is moved relative to the signature field, the sensing device senses the coded data and generates the indicating data using the sensed coded data. A computer system receives the indicating data and determines movement of the sensing device relative to the signature field therefrom, the movement relating to a handwritten signature provided by the user. The computer system then determines signature data at least partially indicative of a handwritten signature, and compares this to stored signature data to thereby authorise the user.

11. A system for authorising a user to interact with computer software using a sensing device and a form, the system including a computer system for:
-
determining information relating to at least one signature field;
generating an identity indicative of the at least one signature field;
generating print data at least partially indicative of;
the information; and
,the identity;
transferring the print data to a printer, the printer being responsive to the print data to print the form including the information and coded data relating to the at least one interactive element, the coded data being coincident with the information such that a sensing device placed in an operative position relative to the information senses at least some of the coded data and generates indicating data using the sensed coded data.

18. The system of claim 18, wherein the coded data includes a number of coded data portions, and wherein at least one of the computer system and the printer is for:
-
determining a data portion identity for each coded data portion, the data portion identity being at least partially indicative of the identity; and
,causing printing of the coded data using the map, the map defining, for each data portion identity, a location for the corresponding coded data portion on the surface. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
