Claim:
1. A method comprising: receiving by a capacitive touch screen an object code pattern associated with an object, said object code pattern comprising a physical pattern of a predetermined shape with at least one conductive part, so that, upon receiving, an electric field changes within an area of the capacitive touch screen that interacts with said at least one conductive part; electrically connecting the at least one conductive part of the object code pattern to a received pulsed signal within the area of the capacitive touch screen that interacts with the conductive part; detecting the predetermined shape of the object code pattern based on the changes in the electric field to produce a virtual object code comprising an identifier code relating to the object; recognizing the object by comparing the identifier code to a list of identifier codes; providing application data based on the object; and performing using the touch screen at least one application based on the application data, wherein the object code pattern faces the capacitive touch screen, and the at least one conductive part is electrically connected to at least one of another conductive part of the object code pattern, and a connection point to the object, the pulsed signal is supplied by an electronic circuit of the object connected to the connection point, the virtual object code further comprises a time-variant component based on the pulsed signal, and the identifier code comprises additional application data, which is used together with the application data to perform the at least one application.
