1. A method of processing an electronic document corresponding to a hardcopy of the document, comprising the steps of:
- creating and storing the electronic document;
receiving a voice input indicative of an annotation or processing instruction for the document;
placing a mark on the hardcopy corresponding to the stored electronic document, the mark containing identification information for retrieval of the stored electronic document and the annotation or processing information of the electronic document received from the voice input;
viewing the hardcopy by an image capture device to capture an image of the hardcopy document;
decoding the mark from the image captured by the image capture device to determine the identification information of the electronic document and the processing information of the electronic document;
retrieving the electronic document based on the determined identification information of the electronic document; and
processing the retrieved electronic document according to the annotation or processing information for the document received from the voice input.

Abstract
A method and system in which an electronic document corresponding to a hardcopy of the document is processed. A mark is placed on the hardcopy, the mark containing identification information of the electronic document. The hardcopy document is viewed by an image capture device that captures an image of the hardcopy document. The mark on the image captured by the image capture device is decoded to determine the identification information of the electronic document. The electronic document identified based on the identification information is then processed.

19. A system for processing an electronic document corresponding to a hardcopy of the electronic document, the system comprising:
-
a data storage device that stores the electronic document;
a device for receiving a voice input indicative of an annotation or processing instruction for the electronic document;
a mark encoder that encodes a mark on the hardcopy corresponding to the stored electronic document, the mark indicative of identification information for retrieval of the stored electronic document and the annotation or processing information for the electronic document received from the voice input;
an image capture device that captures an image of the hardcopy including the mark;
a decoder, operatively connected to the image capture device, for decoding the identification information and the annotation or processing information from the mark from the image captured by the image capture device; and
a processing unit, connected to the decoder and the data storage device, that retrieves the electronic document based on the identification information and processes the electronic document in accordance with the decoded processing information for the electronic document received from the voice input. - View Dependent Claims (20)
