Patent ID: 7094977

Claim:
A method for generating an association with regard to information, which is arranged on at least one support provided with an absolute position coding pattern, by means of a handheld device arranged to sense said absolute position coding pattern, comprising: passing said handheld device over said support for sensing said absolute position coding pattern; sensing when said handheld device passes over a discontinuity in the absolute position coding pattern; and interpreting said discontinuity as an association regarding the information present on said supports, wherein said support comprises a first area in which said absolute position coding pattern codes continuous first coordinates, and that said information is provided on said first area and is connected to said first coordinates, and said support comprises a second area provided with an absolute position coding pattern which codes second coordinates which are discontinuous with said first coordinates; passing said handheld device in a single movement from one area to the other area, for sensing said discontinuity.
