Method of printing an interactive document
First Claim
1. A method of provided a printed interactive document, said document comprising printed user information and printed advertising material, said method comprising the steps of:
- receiving a print request from a user, said print request requesting printing of an electronic document;
formatting user information in the electronic document so as to include a first user interactive element, thereby allowing the user to effect a response to the information using a sensing device;
formatting advertising material in the electronic document so as to include a second user interactive element, thereby enabling the user to effect a response to the advertising material, using the sensing device; and
causing the electronic document to be printed with coded data on a substrate so as to provide the printed interactive document, said coded data being readable by the sensing device and being indicative of a document identity and the first and second interactive elements.

7. A system for provided a printed interactive document, said printed document comprising printed user information and printed advertising material, said system comprising:
a computer system configured for; receiving a print request from a user, said print request requesting printing of an electronic document stored in said computer system; formatting user information in the electronic document so as to include a first user interactive element, thereby allowing the user to effect a response to the printed information using a sensing device for transmitting first response data to a computer system; and formatting advertising material in the electronic document so as to include a second user interactive element, thereby enabling the user to effect a response to the printed advertising material, using the sensing device for transmitting second response data to the computer system; and a printer for printing the electronic document with coded data on a substrate so as to provide the printed interactive document, said coded data being readable by the sensing device and being indicative of a document identity and the first and second interactive elements. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
