SYSTEM FOR INITIATING ACTION IN PROCESSING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A system for initiating an action in a processing system, said system comprising:
- a printed page comprising an interactive element enabling user interaction with the page, said interactive element being defined by a zone containing graphical information and a plurality of unique coded data portions;
an optically imaging sensing device for interacting with said interactive element and generating indicating data using sensed coded data, said indicating data identifying the identity of the page and a position of the sensing device relative to the page; and
a processing system configured for;
receiving the indicating data;
identifying a page description corresponding to the printed page;
identifying the interactive element using the position of the sensing device and a description of the interactive element contained in the page description; and
initiating an action associated with said interactive element,wherein each coded data portion contains a code pattern encoding a unique location on the page and identifying a page identity.

Abstract
A system for initiating an action in a processing system. The system comprises a printed page having an interactive element enabling user interaction with the page; an optically imaging sensing device for interacting with the interactive element and generating indicating data using sensed coded data; and a processing system configured for: receiving the indicating data, identifying a page description corresponding to the printed page; identifying the interactive element and initiating an action associated with the interactive element. The printed page comprises a plurality of coded data portion, each containing a code pattern encoding a unique location on the page and identifying a page identity.
