System for enabling user interaction with computer software
First Claim
1. A system for enabling user interaction with computer software, the system including a printer for:
- receiving print data;
printing a form, using the print data, by printing;
information related to at least one interactive element associated with the delivery of a greeting card; and
,coded data at least partially indicative of the at least one interactive element, at least some of the coded data being coincident with the information;
receiving indicating data from a sensing device, the sensing device when placed in an operative position relative to the information, sensing at least some of the coded data and generating indicating data using the sensed coded data, the indicating data being at least partially indicative of the at least one interactive element; and
,transferring the indicating data to a computer system to allow the indicating data to be interpreted.

Abstract
A system for enabling user interaction with computer software is provided which has a printer. The printer receives print data, prints a form using the print data, receives indicating data from a sensing device and transfers the indicating data to a computer system. The form is printed by printing information related to at least one interactive element associated with the delivery of a greeting card and coded data indicative of the interactive element. At least some of the coded data is printed to be coincident with the information. The sensing device senses at least some of the coded data and generates the indicating data using the sensed coded data. The indicating data generated is at least partially indicative of the interactive element. The computer system interprets the transferred indicating data.
