Method and system for sensing device registration
First Claim
1. A method for registering sensing devices with respective users for use with a netpage computer system, the method including the steps of:
- providing first and second printed registration forms including registration information and coded data thereon, the coded data including an indication of an identity of the forms and at least one reference point on the forms;
receiving in the computer system first indicating data from an unregistered sensing device, the fist indicating data including information regarding an identity of the unregistered sensing device, the identity of the first form and at least one action of the unregistered sensing device in relation to the first form generated by the unregistered sensing device using at least some of the first coded data;
identifying, from the first indicating data, a first registered user of the computer system;
storing, in the computer system, first registration data associating an identity of the first registered user with the identity of the unregistered sensing device;
receiving in the computer system second indicating data from a registered sensing device, the second indicating data including information regarding an identity of said registered sensing device, the identity of the second form and at least one action of said registered sensing device in relation to the second form generated by said registered sensing device using at least some of the coded data; and
storing, in the computer system, second registration data associating an identity of a second registered user with the identity of the registered sensing device.

Abstract
A method and system for registration of a sensing device for use with a computer system. The method includes providing a printed registration form including registration information and coded data thereon, the coded data including an indication of an identity of the form and at least reference point on the form. The method also includes receiving in the computer system indicating data from a sensing device, the indicating data including information regarding an identity of the sensing device, the identity of the form and at least one action of the sensing device in relation to the form generated by the sensing device using at least some of the coded data. A correspondence is derived, from the indicating data, between a registered user of the computer system and the identity of the sensing device. Registration data associating an identity of the registered user with the identity of the sensing device is then stored in the computer system for later use.
