Abstract

A method of linking an object to a sticker print medium is provided which includes submitting a request to associate the object with a print media identifier of the sticker print medium, submission of the request facilitating identification of the object and the print media identifier, recording the requested association of the object and the print media identifier in a database, the object being retrievable from the database using the print media identifier, once the requested association is recorded attaching the sticker print medium to a physical representation of the object, receiving the sticker print medium in a media feed path of the mobile telecommunications device, and reading the print media identifier from the sticker print medium using the sensor module of the mobile telecommunications device.

Claims

1. A method of linking an object to a sticker print medium, comprising the step of:

submitting a request to associate the object with a print media identifier of the sticker print medium, submission of the request facilitating identification of the object and the print media identifier;

recording the requested association of the object and the print media identifier in a database, the object being retrievable from the database using the print media identifier;

once the requested association is recorded attaching the sticker print medium to a physical representation of the object;

receiving the sticker print medium in a media feed path of the mobile telecommunications device; and

reading the print media identifier from the sticker print medium using the sensor module of the mobile telecommunications device.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the print medium is supplied to a user with at least one pre-linked object.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein identification of the object occurs by the mobile telecommunications device retrieving the object.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein identification of the object occurs by the mobile telecommunications device capturing the object as an image using a camera.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the sensor module is at least one of:

integrated with the mobile telecommunications device; and

external to the mobile telecommunications device.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the second information is indicative of regions of the print medium surface.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein a printer module of a mobile telecommunications device prints the second coded data on the print medium.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the second coded data is pre-printed on the print medium.

9. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the object is associated with a region of the print medium using the second coded data.

10. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the printer module prints the first coded data on the print medium.

11. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the object is associated with a form, as a particular field of a form or a particular instance of a form.

12. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the object can be associated with a second print media identifier.
