Abstract
A system for obtaining electronic data from a plurality of forms includes a plurality of electronic sensors, a plurality of wireless interface circuits, and at least one reader configured to communicate with the wireless interface circuits to obtain the electronic data from the plurality of forms. At least one electronic sensor may be coupled to each form, and each electronic sensor may be configured to sense at least a first state and a second state based on manipulation of the form to which the electronic sensor is coupled. At least one of the wireless interface circuits may be coupled to each form and to the at least one electronic sensor coupled to the form. For each form the electronic data may include at least one state of the at least one electronic sensor coupled to the form.
