System and Method for Using Individualized Mixed Document
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of using a printed document, comprising:
- receiving a captured image of at least a portion of a printed document, the portion including information uniquely identifying the printed document as well as a user of the printed document; and
comparing a plurality of features extracted from the image with a plurality of indices to find a matching index identifying the printed document and the user.

Abstract
A Mixed Media Reality (MMR) system and associated techniques are disclosed. The MMR system provides mechanisms for forming a mixed media document that includes media of at least two types (e.g., printed paper as a first medium and digital content and/or web link as a second medium). In one particular embodiment, the mixed media document may also include hotspot images that uniquely identify a user associated with the mixed media document. Such individualized mixed media documents are used to identify users of the mixed media document, when orders for products or services are made using the mixed media documents through the MMR system.

15. A system for using a printed document, comprising:
-
a memory for storing computer instructions;
a storage device storing a plurality of indices corresponding to a plurality of documents; and
a processor for executing the computer instructions, wherein the memory includes a document fingerprint matching module for receiving a captured image of at least a portion of the printed document, the portion including information uniquely identifying the printed document as well as a user of the printed document, and comparing a plurality of features extracted from the image with the plurality of indices stored in the storage device to find a matching index identifying the printed document and the user. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
