SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING INFORMATION VIA INTERACTIVE SURFACE
First Claim
1. A system for providing information via an interactive surface, the interactive surface comprising information for searching and coded data, the coded data encoding a plurality of coordinates on the surface and identifying a region identity associated with the surface, the system configured to:
- identify and retrieve a page description corresponding to the surface using the region identity received from a sensing device used to interact with the surface, the sensing device sensing the coded data and generating interaction data indicative of the region identity and at least one coordinate position of the sensing device relative to the surface from the interaction;
determine the information for searching corresponding to a zone of the page description containing the coordinate position of the sensing device;
create a query expression comprising at least one search term based on the determined information for searching;
form a request using the query expression; and
send the request, or a results resource including search results obtained using the request, to a display device.

Abstract
A system for providing information via an interactive surface is provided. The surface has information for searching and coded data. The coded data encodes coordinates on the surface and a region identity associated with the surface. A sensing device interacted with the surface senses the coded data and generates interaction data indicative of the region identity and a coordinate position of the sensing device relative to the surface. The system identifies and retrieves a page description corresponding to the surface using the region identity received from the sensing device, determines the information for searching corresponding to a zone of the page description containing the coordinate position of the sensing device, creates a query expression having a search term(s) based on the determined information for searching, form a request using the query expression, and sends the request, or a results resource including search results from the request, to a display device.
