Method and system for delivery of a facsimile using sensor with identifier
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of delivering a facsimile, including:
- providing a first printed form having a plurality of first location-indicating tags printed thereon, each first tag containing coded data indicative of the tag'"'"'s unique location on the first form and an identity of the first form;
writing a message on the form using an optically imaging pen having a marking nib, said pen imaging at least some of said tags when writing said message;
computing positions of the nib from an inferred multiple degree-of-freedom perspective transform of the imaged tags and a known geometry of pen optics;
transmitting, to a computer system, a series of digital ink strokes, each stroke comprising indicating data derived from tags imaged by said pen, said indicating data comprising data regarding the identity of the form and positions of the nib relative to the form in order to allow the message to be electronically captured in the computer system, thereby enabling the computer system to transmit the message to a designated recipient address for facsimile delivery.

Abstract
A method of delivering a facsimile, including: providing a printed form for entering a message thereon using a sensing device adapted to read coded data on the form; receiving, in a computer system, interaction data representing interaction of the sensing device with the coded data, the interaction data allowing the message to be electronically captured in the computer system; and transmitting the message to a designated recipient address for facsimile delivery.

14. A system for delivering a facsimile, including:
-
a first form printed with a plurality of first location-indicating tags printed thereon, each first tag containing coded data indicative of the tag'"'"'s unique location on the form and an identity of the first form; an optically imaging pen having marking nib, said pen being configured for; writing a message on the form; imaging the tags when writing the message on the form; computing positions of the nib from an inferred multiple degree-of-freedom perspective transformation of the imaged tags and a known geometry of pen optics; and transmitting a series of digital ink strokes to a computer system, each stroke comprising indicating data derived from tags imaged by the pen, said indicating data comprising data regarding the identity of the form and a position of the pen relative to the form in order to allow the message to be electronically captured in the computer system; and a computer system for receiving the indicating data from the device and transmitting the message to an address for facsimile delivery. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 28)
