System Enabling Initiation Of Requested Action Via Printed Substrate
First Claim
1. A system enabling a user to initiate a requested action via a printed substrate, the system comprising:
- a printed substrate comprising user information and a position-coding pattern, said position-coding pattern identifying a plurality of locations on the substrate;
an optically imaging pen comprising;
a nib for interacting with the substrate;
an image sensor for imaging at least part of the position-coding pattern; and
a processor configured for;
decoding the imaged position-coding pattern;
determining a first position using the decoded position-coding pattern; and
determining a second position using the first position, wherein saidsecond position is different than said first position; and
a computer system configured for receiving the second position, identifying the requested action based on the second position, and initiating the requested action.

Abstract
A system enabling a user to initiate a requested action via a printed substrate. The system comprises: a printed substrate comprising user information and a position-coding pattern; an optically imaging pen comprising a nib, an image sensor and a processor; and a computer system for identifying and initiating the requested action. The processor is configured for decoding the imaged position-coding pattern, determining a first position using the decoded position-coding pattern, and determining a second position using the first position. The second position is different than the first position, and is used by the computer system to identify the requested action.

15. An optically imaging pen enabling a user to initiate an action via a printed substrate, the printed substrate comprising user information and a position-coding pattern identifying a plurality of locations on the substrate, said pen comprising:
-
a nib for interacting with the substrate; an image sensor for imaging at least part of the position-coding pattern; a processor configured for; decoding the imaged position-coding pattern; determining a first position using the decoded position-coding pattern; and determining a second position using the first position, wherein said second position is different than said first position; and means for sending the second position to a computer system so to enable the action to be identified and initiated using the second position.
