Mobile telephone for printing a business card
First Claim
1. A mobile telephone for printing a business card on a print medium that has coded data indicative of a print medium identifier, the mobile telephone comprising:
- an inbuilt printer module to print the business card on the print medium such that the print medium shows at least one contact detail relevant to a business;
an interface for connection to a remote server;
a sensor module to sense a print media identifier of the print medium;
a media feed path, such that when the print medium is presented in the media feed path at least some of the coded data is read using the sensor module, and the print media identifier is determined using the at least some read coded data; and
,a processor to generate an association between the print medium identifier and the at least one contact detail such that sensing the coded data with the sensor module to derive the print medium identifier, allows the processor to perform an action in relation to the contact detail;
wherein the coded data comprises first coded data in a first format and second coded data in a second format, the first coded data encoding first information and the second coded data encoding second information, at least some of the first information being indicative of the print media identifier, the first format being a linear pattern, at least some of the second information being indicative of the print media identifier and of a two-dimensional coordinate grid, the second format being a two-dimensional pattern.

Abstract
A mobile telephone is provided for printing a business card on a print medium. The print medium has coded data indicative of a print medium identifier and the mobile telephone has an inbuilt printer module to print the business card on the print medium such that the print medium shows at least one contact detail relevant to a business. The mobile telephone also has an interface for connection to a remote server, a sensor module to sense a print media identifier of the print medium and, a processor to generate an association between the print medium identifier and the at least one contact detail. Sensing the coded data with the sensor module to derive the print medium identifier, allows the processor to perform an action in relation to the contact detail.
