Patent ID: 7322524

Claim:
A computer system configured for operating graphic design software for enabling graphic design activity between a user and an interface surface containing information relating to the graphic design software, the interface surface having disposed therein or thereon coded data including a number of coded data portions, each coded data portion being indicative of an identity that uniquely identifies the interface surface, the computer system being configured to: receive indicating data from a sensing device, the sensing device when place in an operative position relative to the interface surface, being adapted to sense at least one coded data portion and generate indicating data, the indicating data being at least partially indicative of the identity; determine, using the indicating data, a determined identity; retrieve, using the determined identity, a layout indicative of the information on the interface surface; determine, using the layout and the determined identity, at least one parameter relating to a graphic design activity; operate the graphic design software at least partially in accordance with the at least one parameter; and in response to operating the graphic design software, print a second interface surface using a single printer, wherein the printer prints: information relating to the graphic design software operated at least partially in accordance with the at least one parameter; and second coded data including a number of second coded data portions, each second coded data portion being indicative of an identity that uniquely identifies the second interface surface.
