Relay device for use with processing sensor
First Claim
1. A relay device for providing communication between a sensing device and a computer system, the relay device including:
- a first communications module for receiving first indicating data transmitted from the sensing device in a first format, the first indicating data including a first region identity indicative of an identity of a region associated with the first interface;
a relay device processor configured to generate second indicating data based on the first indicating data; and
a second communications module for transmitting the second indicating data in a second format to the computer system, wherein the sensing device comprises;
(a) an image sensor adapted to capture images of at least some of the coded data when the sensing device is placed in an operative position relative to the first interface; and
(b) a sensing device processor adapted to;
(i) identify at least some of the coded data from one or more of the captured images;
(ii) determine an orientation, within the captured images, of at least some of the coded data;
(iii) decode at least some of the coded data; and
(iv) generate the first indicating data using at least some of the decoded coded data.

Abstract
A relay device for providing communication between a sensing device and a computer system includes first and second communications modules and a processor. The first communications module receives first indicating data transmitted from the sensing device in a first format. The indicating data is sensed by the sensing device when it is placed into an operative position in relation to first coded data forming part of a first interface disposed on a first surface. In particular, the indicating data includes a first region identity indicative of an identity of a region associated with the first interface. The processor is configured to generate second indicating data based on the first indicating data. The second communications module then transmits the second indicating data in a second format to the computer system.
