SYSTEM FOR PRINTING UNIQUE INTERACTIVE DOCUMENT IN RESPONSE TO PRINT REQUEST
First Claim
1. A system for printing and interacting with documents, the system comprising:
- (a) a computer system configured for;
receiving a print request for printing a document;
allocating a unique document identifier to said document in response to receiving said print request; and
associating the document identifier with a description of the document;
(b) a printer for printing the document containing human-readable content together with a coding pattern on a surface, said coding pattern encoding a plurality of locations on the surface and further identifying the document identifier; and
(c) an optically imaging pen for sensing a portion of the coding pattern during handwritten input on the document and for generating a signal indicative of the unique document identifier and one or more positions of the pen relative to the document, wherein the computer system is further configured for;
receiving the signal from the pen;
determining the document identifier and one or more positions of the pen;
retrieving the description associated with the document identifier;
interpreting the one or more positions as a path of handwritten input; and
updating the description with information corresponding to the handwritten input.
