1. A device comprising:
- a writing element operable to form a mark on a surface corresponding to a movement of the writing element over the surface;
a controller operable to digitally encode information in the mark, the information following a contour of the mark and comprising binary data linearly deposited along the mark as a series of dashes;
a memory configurable by a file that includes at least one correlation between an instance of encoded digital information and an environment of the device; and
a translator operable to decode the digitally encoded information corresponding to the environment of the device.

15. A method comprising:
-
forming a mark representing a first information on a surface, wherein the forming a mark representing a first information on a surface further includes forming a mark representing a first information on a surface in response to a manual action; and regulating the formation of the mark to include a second information, the second information following a contour of the mark and comprising binary data linearly deposited along the mark as a series of dashes. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
