Facsimile delivery through interaction with printed document
First Claim
1. A method of delivering a facsimile, the method comprising the steps of:
- printing by a printer a document on a substrate, the document having printed thereon user information visible to a user and a plurality of coded tags invisible to the user, each coded tag encoding an identity unique to the document and a location of the coded tag on the substrate;
sensing by a sensing device coded tags when the sensing device is moved relative to the document by a user interacting with the user information;
electronically capturing a message, composed with the sensing device by the user via movement of the sensing device relative to the document, using the identity of the document and a sequence of respective locations of coded tags sensed by the sensing device; and
transmitting the message to a recipient address for facsimile delivery.

Abstract
A method of delivering a facsimile is provided. The method starts by printing, by a printer, a document on a substrate. The document has printed thereon visible user information and invisible coded tags. Each tag encodes an identity of the document and a location of the tag on the substrate. A sensing device senses the printed coded tags when the sensing device is moved relative to the document by a user so as to compose a message. The message is electronically captured by the sensing device using the identity of the document and a sequence of the respective locations of tags sensed by the sensing device. The message is then transmitted to a recipient address for facsimile delivery.
