Method of downloading and installing a software object
First Claim
1. A method of downloading an object using a printable surface having disposed therein or thereon first coded data, the first coded data encoding an identity of the printable surface and a plurality of locations on the printable surface, the method including the steps of:
- sensing at least some of the first coded data;
determining from the sensed first coded data the position of the sensed first coded data on the printable surface and the identity of the printable surface;
identifying, using the determined position and identity of the printable surface, the object associated with the determined position and identity;
downloading, from a server, data indicative of the identified object;
receiving a print medium in a media feed path of a printer, the print medium including second coded data indicative of an identity of the print medium;
sensing, using a sensor module in the media feed path, at least some of the second coded data;
identifying, using the sensed second coded data, the identity of the print medium;
printing a representation of the object on the print medium;
generating association data associating the object and the identity of the print medium; and
transferring, to the server, the association data.

Abstract
A method of downloading an object using a surface having disposed therein or thereon first coded data being at least partially indicative of a download request for the object, the method including, in a processing system: receiving first indicating data from a sensing device, the first indicating data being at least partially indicative of the download request, the sensing device being responsive to sensing at least some of the first coded data to generate the first indicating data; transferring second indicating data to a server, the second indicating data being at least partially based on the first indicating data and indicative of the download request, wherein the server identifies, using the download request, the object for download; and, receiving, from the server, download data indicative of the object.
