Method of filling in form using handheld display device
First Claim
1. A method of filling in a form using a handheld display device having an image sensor, a transceiver and an opaque touch-sensitive screen, said method comprising:
- imaging an area of a printed substrate and generating image data using the image sensor, said printed substrate having printed content containing a printed form;
determining interaction data using said image data, said interaction data identifying a page description corresponding to the printed substrate;
sending the interaction data to a computer system, thereby causing the computer system to identify the page description and retrieve display data corresponding to at least part of said form;
receiving the display data from the computer system;
displaying, on said opaque touch-sensitive screen, display information based on said display data, such that the opaque touch-sensitive screen has real-time virtual transparency through the screen to the printed content underlying said screen from a user'"'"'s perspective to provide a virtual window to the printed content underlying said screen, wherein said display information includes at least one displayed form field of said form; and
interacting with said at least one displayed form field via said touch-sensitive screen so as to enter form data into said device and cause said page description to be updated with said form data.

Abstract
A method of filling in a form using a handheld display device having a touch-sensitive screen and a transceiver for sending and receiving digital information. The method comprises the steps of: imaging an area of a printed substrate and generating image data using an optical sensor, the printed substrate containing a printed form; determining interaction data using the image data, the interaction data identifying a substrate identity; retrieving display data corresponding to the form; displaying, on the touch-sensitive screen, display information based on the display data, the displayinformation including a displayed form field of the form; and interacting with the displayed form field via the touch-sensitive screen so as to enter form data into the device and cause the page description to be updated with the form data.
