Method of enabling a user to request targeted information from a printed interactive document
First Claim
1. A method of enabling a user to request further information from an interactive document printed on a substrate, said document including targeted user information and coded data indicative of a document identity and of a plurality of map references on the document, said method comprising the steps of:
- (a) allocating and recording a document identity for the document in a computer system;
(b) associating a map of the document with the document identity in the computer system;
(c) causing the document to be printed on the substrate by a printer networked with the computer system;
(d) receiving, in the computer system, indicating data from a sensing device, said indicating data comprising data regarding the identity of the document and a position of the sensing device relative to the document, the sensing device when placed in an operative position relative to the document generating the indicating data using the coded data; and
(e) identifying in the computer system, using the indicating data and the recorded document identity, at least one parameter relating to the request.

Abstract
A method of enabling a user to request further information from an interactive document printed on a substrate is provided. The document includes targeted user information and coded data indicative of a document identity and of a plurality of map references on the document. The method comprises the steps of: (a) allocating and recording a document identity for the document in a computer system; (b) associating a map of the document with the document identity in the computer system; (c) causing the document to be printed on the substrate by a printer networked with the computer system; (d) receiving, in the computer system, indicating data from a sensing device; and (e) identifying in the computer system, using the indicating data and the recorded document identity, a parameter relating to the request.

8. A computer system for enabling a user to request further information from an interactive document printed on a substrate, said document including targeted user information and coded data indicative of a document identity and of a plurality of map references on the document, said computer system being adapted to:
-
(a) allocate and record a document identity for the document;
(b) associate a map of the document with the document identity;
(c) cause the document to be printed on the substrate by a printer networked with the computer system;
(d) receive indicating data from a sensing device, said indicating data comprising data regarding the identity of the document and a position of the sensing device relative to the document, the sensing device when placed in an operative position relative to the document generating the indicating data using the coded data; and
(e) identify, using the indicating data and the recorded document identity, at least one parameter relating to the request. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)
