METHOD OF ENABLING CONFERENCING USING ENCODED FORMS
First Claim
1. A method of enabling conferencing using encoded forms, the method comprising:
- receiving, in a computer system, indicating data generated by a sensing device through interaction with first tags printed on a first form, each first tag encodes data on an identity of the first form associated with a form description in the computer system and the location of that first tag on the first form, the indicating data is generated to include the data encoded by at least one of the first tags sensed by the sensing device;
determining, in the computer system and from the indicating data and form description, conference information; and
outputting, from the computer system, a second form with second tags, the determined conference information and a hierarchical tree of form versions, the computer system producing the hierarchical tree of form versions by associating an identity of the second form with said form description, each second tag encoding data on the second form identity and the location of that second tag on the second form.

Abstract
A method of enabling conferencing using encoded forms is provided in which a computer system receives indicating data from a sensing device used to interact with a first form, determines conference information, and outputs a second form. The first form has first tags and an identity associated with a form description in the computer system. Each first tag encodes data on the identity and the location of that tag on the first form, which is included in the indicating data. The computer system determines the conference information from the indicating data and form description. The second form is output with second tags, the conference information and a hierarchical tree of form versions. The computer system produces the hierarchical tree by associating the second form identity with the form description. Each second tag encodes data on the second form identity and the location of that tag on the second form.
