Method and system for user registration using coded marks
First Claim
1. A method for enabling registration of a user to use a computer system, the method comprising the steps of:
- the computer system receiving, from a sensing device, identity data of a printed registration form identifying a digital description of the form stored by the computer system and position data of the sensing device relative to the form, the form being printed with user registration information and a plurality of coded data marks tiled over the entire form, each coded data mark encoding data indicative of the form identity and the position of that mark on the form, the sensing device generating the form identity and position data by sensing the coded data through interaction with any single one of the coded data marks;
the computer system identifying, from the received form identity data, the digital description of the form; and
the computer system determining, from the identified digital description, at least one user registration parameter associated with the received position data.

Abstract
A method and system for enabling registration of a user to use a computer system are provided. A printed registration form is provided containing information relating to user registration and including coded data marks containing coded data on an identity and reference points of the form. The coded data marks are substantially undifferentiated marks positioned relative to a set of predetermined nominal mark positions. A processing system associated with the computer system receives indicating data from a sensing device regarding the form identity and a relative position and/or movement of the sensing device. The sensing device senses at least one of the coded data marks and generates the indicating data using the coded data contained therein. The processing system identifies, from the indicating data, a parameter relating to user registration, and stores the parameter so as to be accessible by the computer system.
