Method and system for obtaining a video-related document
First Claim
1. A method of enabling a user to obtain, via coded data disposed on a surface, a document related to content of a video signal, the method including, in a computer system, the steps of:
- receiving, from a sensing device, indicating data indicative of a request for the document, the sensing device, when placed in an operative position relative to the surface, generating the indicating data using at least some of the coded data;
extracting, from the video signal, document identity data indicative of an identity of the document;
identifying, using the indicating data and the document identity data, the request and the document; and
retrieving the document.

15. A system for enabling a user to obtain, via coded data disposed on a surface, a document related to content of a video signal, the system including:
-
a receiver for receiving, from a sensing device, indicating data indicative of a request for the document, the sensing device, when placed in an operative position relative to the surface, generating the indicating data using at least some of the coded data;
a decoder for extracting, from the video signal, document identity data indicative of an identity of the document; and
a processing means;
the processing means being configured to; identify, using the indicating data and the identity data, the request and the document; and
retrieve the document. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)

18. A printer for enabling a user to obtain a printed document related to content of a video signal, the printer including:
-
a receiver for receiving indicating data indicative of a request for the document;
a decoder for extracting, from the video signal, document identity data indicative of an identity of the document;
a network interface; and
a processor;
the processor being configured to; transmit, to a server and via the network interface, the indicating data and the document identity data;
receive, from the server and via the network interface, the document; and
print the document.
