1. A method of interactively coupling electronic content with printed media:
- receiving, by a computing device, an identifier of a written or printed content on non-encoded media, utilizing a control panel printed on location encoded media, wherein the control panel is separate from the written or printed content; and
interactively delivering, by the computing device, electronic content related to the written or printed content.

Abstract
A technique for interactively coupling electronic content to printed or written content, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, includes use of a computing device and a pre-printed control panel. The control panel includes graphic representations overlaid on unique coded patterns. Each unique coded pattern is associated with a particular function or datum. The control panel is used to input an identifier of a written or printed content to the computing device. In response thereto, the computing device interactively delivers the electronic content related to the particular written or printed content.

14. A computing device comprising:
-
an optical tracking interface adapted to receive one or more location encoding patterns from a printed control panel that includes a plurality of graphical representations, wherein each graphical representation corresponds to a particular function or datum and wherein each graphical representation overlays a unique location encoding pattern associated with the particular function or datum; and a processor, communicatively coupled to the optical tracking interface, for determining an identifier of written or printed content on non-encoded media from one or more functions and data associated with the one or more location encoding patterns received by the optical tracking interface from the printed control panel and interactively delivering electronic content related to the written or printed content, wherein the written or printed content is separate from the printed control panel. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
