The concept of interactive paper leads to new models of publishing and using books, documents, and periodicals. Any printed or rendered document can have associated supplemental materials. These materials may be considered an interactive environment that can be accessed by a user of the described system. In recent years many books have been published with an accompanying CD-ROM or associated web page or website, but for the rendered document and the associated digital materials to be truly mutually beneficial, they need to be more closely coupled than has been possible in the past.
There are some situations where possession of or access to the printed document would entitle the user to certain privileges, for example, the access to an electronic copy of the document or to additional materials. With the described system, such privileges could be granted simply as a result of the user capturing portions of text from the document, or scanning specially printed symbols. In cases where the system needed to ensure that the user was in possession of the entire document, it might prompt the user to scan particular items or phrases from particular pages, e.g. “the second line of page 46.”
In other cases, the association may not be quite so direct: a user may be granted access based on an account established by their employer, or based on their scanning of a printed copy owned by a friend who is a subscriber.
the paper document need not be in the same location as the final printout, and in any case need not be there at the same time the wear and damage caused to documents by the photocopying process, especially to old, fragile and valuable documents, can be avoided the quality of the copy is typically be much higher records may be kept about which documents or portions of documents are the most frequently copied payment may be made to the copyright owner as part of the process unauthorized copying may be prohibited 8.6. Locating Valuable Originals from Photocopies
The described system could be coupled to a database which records the location of an original document, for example in an archiving warehouse, making it easy for somebody with access to a copy to locate the archived original paper document.

As the use of capture devices such as pen scanners becomes increasingly common, it will become desirable to build support for them into the
