Method and system for composition and transmission of an electronic mail message via an interactive document
First Claim
1. A method for composition and transmission of an electronic mail message via an interactive document, comprising the steps of:
- providing a document suitable for composition of the electronic mail message, the document including a plurality of coded tags, each tag encoding data indicative of an identity of the document and a location of that tag on the document;
receiving, in a computer system, indicating data from a sensing device used by a user to write a message on the document, the indicating data indicating the identity of the document and a position and/or movement of the sensing, device relative to the document during writing of the message, the sensing device, when placed in an operative position relative to the document, generating the indicating data by sensing the data encoded by at least some of the coded tags;
identifying in the computer system, using at least some of the indicating data, an electronic mail message corresponding to the message written using the sensing device; and
transmitting the electronic mail message to a recipient address.

Abstract
A method for composition and transmission of an electronic mail message via an interactive document is provided. The method comprises the steps of: (a) providing a document suitable for composition of the electronic mail message, the document including coded data indicative of an identity of the document and of at least one reference point of the document; (b) composing a written message on the document using a sensing device adapted to sense the coded data when placed in an operative position relative to the document; (c) receiving, in a computer system, indicating data from the sensing device regarding the identity of the document and a position and/or movement of the sensing device relative to the document, the sensing device, when placed in an operative position relative to the document, generating the indicating data using at least some of the coded data; (d) identifying in the computer system, using at least some of the indicating data, an electronic mail message corresponding to the written message composed by the sensing device; and (e) transmitting the electronic mail message to a recipient address.

16. A system for composition and transmission of an electronic mail message via an interactive document, the system comprising:
-
a document suitable for composition of the electronic mail message, the document including a plurality of coded tags, each tag encoding data indicative of an identity of the document and a location of that tag on the document; a sensing device for writing of a message on the document, for sensing the encoded data when interacted with the coded tags to generate indicating data regarding the identity of the document and a position and/or movement of the sensing device relative to the document during the writing of the message, and for transmitting the indicating data to a computer system; and a computer system for receiving the indicating data, for identifying an electronic mail message corresponding to the message written using the sensing device from at least some of the indicating data, and for transmitting the electronic mail message to a recipient address. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
