METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DELIVERY OF A BOOK

摘要

A system and method of delivering a book, includes formatting information of the book in a computer system, the information including at least one user interactive element which enables a user to indicate a request for further information relating to the contents of the book by interacting with the element using an optically imaging pen; printing the information onto a surface using a printer networked with the computer system and at the same time printing onto the surface coded data as a collection of tags so as to produce the book, each tag identifying an identity of the book, a location of the tag and an orientation of the tag; interacting with the element using an optically imaging pen having a nib, said interaction indicating the request for further information; imaging and decoding a tag on the surface; computing the position and orientation of the nib from the decoded tag, an observed perspective distortion on the imaged tag and a known geometry of pen optics; and transmitting data to a computer system, said data identifying the identity of the book and a position of the nib relative to the surface, wherein said data indicates the request to the computer system.
