Method and system for collaborative document markup using sensor with identifier
First Claim
1. A method of enabling collaborative document markup between participants, the method including the steps of:
- providing a participant with at least one document markup form containing information relating to a collaborative document markup session and including coded data indicative of an identity of the document markup form and of at least one reference point of the document markup form;
receiving, in a computer system, indicating data from a sensing device operated by said participant involved in the document markup session, said indicating data regarding the identity of the document markup form and at least one of a position and a movement of the sensing device relative to the document markup form, the sensing device, when placed in an operative position relative to the document markup form, sensing at least some of the coded data and generating the indicating data using at least some of the sensed coded data;
identifying in the computer system and from the indicating data, at least one parameter relating to the document markup session; and
providing at least one other participant remote from said participant with at least one document markup form containing information representative of the at least one parameter,wherein the sensing device further stores a sensing device identifier which distinguishes the sensing device from other sensing devices of the same type.

Abstract
A method and system for enabling collaborative document markup. The method includes the steps of providing a participant with at least one document markup form containing information relating to a collaborative document markup session and including coded data indicative of an identity of the document markup form, receiving, in a computer system, indicating data from a sensing device operated by said participant, said indicating data regarding the identity of the document markup form and a position of the sensing device relative to the document markup form, the sensing device, when placed in an operative position, sensing the indicating data, identifying at least one parameter relating to the document markup session, and providing at least one other participant remote from said participant with at least one document markup form containing information representative of the at least one parameter.

3. A method of enabling document markup between participants, the method including the steps of:
-
providing a participant with at least one document markup form containing information relating to a collaborative document markup session and including coded data indicative of at least one parameter of the document markup session; receiving, in a computer system, data from a sensing device operated by said participant regarding said at least one parameter and regarding at least one of a movement and a position of the sensing device relative to the document markup form, the sensing device, when moved relative to the document markup form, sensing the data regarding said at least one parameter using at least some of the coded data and generating the data regarding at least one of the movement and position of the sensing device relative to the document markup form; interpreting, in the computer system, at least one of said movement and position of the sensing device as it relates to said at least one parameter; and providing at least one other participant remote from said participant with at least one document markup form containing information representative of the at least one parameter, wherein the sensing device further stores a sensing device identifier which distinguishes the sensing device from other sensing devices of the same type.

28. A system for enabling collaborative document markup between participants, the system including:
-
at least one document markup form containing information relating to a collaborative document markup session and including coded data indicative of an identity of the document markup form and of at least one reference point of the document markup form; a computer system for receiving indicating data from a sensing device operated by a participant involved in the document markup session said indicating data regarding the identity of the document markup form and at least one of a position and a movement of the sensing device relative to the document markup form, the sensing device, when placed in an operative position relative to the document markup form, sensing at least some of the coded data and generating the indicating data using at least some of the sensed coded data, said computer system including means for identifying, from the indicating data, at least one parameter relating to the document markup session; and a provider for providing at least one other participant remote from said participant with at least one document markup form containing information representative of the at least one parameter, wherein the sensing device further stores a sensing device identifier which distinguishes the sensing device from other sensing devices of the same type. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49)

31. A system for enabling collaborative document markup between participants, the system including:
-
at least one document markup form containing information relating to a collaborative document markup session and including coded data indicative of at least one parameter of the document markup session; a computer system for receiving data from a sensing device operated by the participant involved in the document markup session, said data regarding at least one of a movement and a position of the sensing device relative to the document markup form, and for interpreting at least one of said movement and said position of the sensing device as it relates to said at least one parameter, the sensing device, when moved relative to the document markup form, sensing the data regarding said at least one parameter using at least some of the coded data, and generating the data regarding at least one of the movement and position of the sensing device relative to the document markup form; and a provider for providing at least one other participant remote from the participant with at least one document markup form containing information representative of the at least one parameter, wherein the sensing device is further stores a sensing device identifier which distinguishes the sensing device from other sensing devices of the same type. - View Dependent Claims (32)
