Method of enabling interaction with computer software
First Claim
1. A method for enabling user interaction with computer software, the method including, in a computer system:
- generating print data;
transferring the print data to a printer, the printer being responsive to the print data to print a form by printing;
information related to at least one interactive element; and
,coded data at least partially indicative of the at least one interactive element, the coded data being coincident with the information;
receiving indicating data from a sensing device, the sensing device, when placed in an operative position relative to the information, sensing the coincident coded data and generating the indicating data using the sensed coded data, the indicating data being at least partially indicative of the at least one interactive element;
identifying, using the indicating data, the at least one interactive element; and
,performing an action associated with the at least one interactive element,wherein the coded data is at least partially indicative of an identity, and wherein the computer system is for;
determining, using the indicating data, the identity;
determining, using the identity, a page description; and
,identifying, using the page description, the at least one interactive element.

Abstract
A method for enabling user interaction with computer software including, in a computer system generating print data, transferring the print data to a printer which prints a form in response to the print data with information related to an interactive element coincident with coded data indicative of the interactive element, receiving indicating data from a sensing device which senses the coincident coded data to generate the indicating data to be indicative of the interactive element, identifying, using the indicating data, the interactive element, and performing an action associated with the interactive element. The coded data is indicative of an identity, and the computer system determines the identity using the indicating data and a page description using the identity, and identifies the interactive element using the page description.
