INTERACTIVE DIGITAL CLIPPINGS
First Claim
1. A method of generating a self-contained interactive clipping from a printed substrate, said substrate having a graphic image and a position-coding pattern disposed thereon, said position-coding pattern identifying an identity and a plurality of locations, said method comprising the steps of:
- receiving, in a computer system, interaction data indicative of the identity and at least one position of a sensing device relative to the substrate, the sensing device generating the interaction data, when operatively positioned or moved relative to the substrate, by reading at least some of the position-coding pattern;
identifying and retrieving at least part of a page description corresponding to the printed substrate using the identity, said page description including a visual description describing the graphic image and an input description describing one or more interactive elements;
determining, using the page description and the at least one position of the sensing device, a clipping zone of the substrate indicated by the sensing device, said clipping zone containing a part of the graphic image;
generating the clipping using said page description and said clipping zone, said clipping comprising a clipping visual description describing the part of the graphic image contained in said clipping zone and a clipping input description describing at least one interactive element contained in said clipping zone; and
copying the clipping to a clipboard.

Abstract
A method of generating a self-contained interactive clipping from a printed substrate. The substrate has a graphic image and a position-coding pattern disposed thereon. The position-coding pattern identifies an identity and a plurality of locations. The method comprises the steps of: (i) receiving, in a computer system, interaction data indicative of the identity and a position of a sensing device relative to the substrate, the sensing device generating the interaction data, when operatively positioned or moved relative to the substrate, by reading the position-coding pattern; (ii) identifying and retrieving a page description corresponding to the printed substrate using the identity, the page description including a visual description describing the graphic image and an input description describing interactive elements; (iii) determining, using the page description and the position of the sensing device, a clipping zone of the substrate indicated by the sensing device, the clipping zone containing a part of the graphic image; (iv) generating the clipping using the page description and the clipping zone, the clipping comprising a clipping visual description describing the part of the graphic image contained in the clipping zone and a clipping input description describing an interactive element contained in the clipping zone; and (v) copying the clipping to a clipboard.
