Facsimile delivery method and system using associated identifiers
First Claim
1. A method of delivering a facsimile using an interactive document printed on a substrate provided for composition of a written message using a sensing device, said document having printed thereon user information and a plurality of coded tags, each tag encoding data on an identity of the interactive document and a location of that tag on the document, said sensing device interacting with the printed coded tags by sensing the encoded data when placed in an operative position relative to the document and being moved relative to the coded tags so as to compose the message, said method comprising the steps of:
- (a) allocating and recording at least one identifier for the document in a computer system;
(b) associating the document with the at least one identifier in the computer system;
(c) causing the document to be printed on the substrate by a printer networked with the computer system;
(d) receiving, in the computer system, interaction data representing interaction of the sensing device with the coded tags, the interaction data including data on the movement of the sensing device;
(e) electronically capturing, in the computer system, the message composed with the sensing device using the interaction data and the recorded at least one identifier; and
(f) transmitting the message to a designated recipient address for facsimile delivery.

Abstract
A method and computer system is provided for delivery of a facsimile using an interactive document printed on a substrate provided for entry of a message using a sensing device. The document includes user information and coded data on a document identity and locations on the document. The sensing device reads the coded data when placed in an operative position relative to the document. The method and computer system allocating and recording an identifier for the document, associating the document with the identifier, causing the document to be printed on the substrate by a networked printer, receiving interaction data representing interaction of the sensing device with the coded data, electronically capturing the message using the interaction data and the recorded identifier and transmitting the message to a designated recipient address for facsimile delivery.
