SYSTEM FOR INTERACTION WTH COMPUTER SOFTWARE USING HANDWRITTEN SIGNATURES
First Claim
1. A system for enabling user interaction with computer software, the system including a computer system for:
- transferring print data to a printer, the printer being responsive to the print data to print a form by printing;
information indicative of at least one text field; and
,coded data at least partially indicative of the at least one text field, the coded data being coincident with the information;
receiving indicating data from a sensing device, the sensing device, when moved in an operative position relative to the at least one text field, sensing the coincident coded data and generating the indicating data using the sensed coded data, the indicating data being at least partially indicative of movement of the sensing device relative to the at least one text field;
determining, using the indicating data, movement of the sensing device relative to the at least one text field; and
,performing an action associated with the at least one text field at least partly based on the movement of the sensing device,wherein the computer system is for;
determining, using the movement, a handwritten signature; and
,determining, using a user identity, a predetermined signature;
verifying the user by comparing the handwritten signature to the predetermined signature.

Abstract
A system for enabling user interaction with computer software which includes a computer system which transfers print data to a printer which is responsive to the print data to print a form by printing information indicative of a text field coincident with coded data at least partially indicative of the text field, so that when a sensing device is moved in an operative position relative to the text field, the sensing device can sense the coincident coded data and generate the indicating data indicative of movement of the sensing device relative to the text field. The computer system uses the indicating data to determine the movement and then perform an action associated with the text field based on the movement. The computer system determines a handwritten signature using the movement and a predetermined signature using a user identity, and verifies the user by comparing the handwritten and predetermined signatures.
