1. A device comprising:
- an imaging circuit operable to acquire digital information encoded in a hand-formed analog expression marked on a surface by a handheld writing device, the digital information encoded in the hand-formed analog expression including at least binary data linearly deposited along at least part of the hand-formed analog expression;
a translator circuit operable to decode the digital information; and
a correlation circuit operable to generate a signal indicative of the decoded digital information.
