Electronically transmitted document delivery through interaction with printed document
First Claim
1. A system for delivering an electronic document, the system comprising:
- a printer for printing on a substrate user information visible to a user and coded tags invisible to the user, the user information including information indicative of a send instruction, each coded tag encoding an identity unique to the substrate and a location of the coded tag on the substrate;
a sensing device for sensing the coded tags on the substrate when the sensing device is moved relative to the substrate by the user interacting with the user information; and
a computer system for electronically capturing a message composed with the sensing device by the user via movement of the sensing device relative to a predetermined area on the substrate, the computer system using the identity of the substrate and a sequence of respective locations of coded tags sensed by the sensing device for determining the predetermined area on the substrate and to electronically capture the messagewherein, upon the sensing device sensing at least one coded tag coincident with the send instruction, the computer system transmits the message to a recipient address.

Abstract
A system for delivering an electronic document is disclosed. The system has a printer for printing on a substrate user information indicative of a send instruction which is visible to a user and coded tags invisible to the user. A sensing device senses the coded tags when the sensing device is moved relative to the substrate by the user interacting with the user information. A computer system electronically captures a message composed with the sensing device via movement of the sensing device relative to a predetermined area on the substrate. The computer system determines the predetermined area on the substrate and electronically captures the message. When the sensing device senses coded tags coincident with the send instruction, the computer system transmits the message to a recipient address.
