Patent ID: 7959064

Claim:
A method of providing news to a user via print media having printed news content and a plurality of printed coded data tags, wherein at least some of the coded data tags and the news content are coincident on the print media, each coded data tag containing: a plurality of target elements and coded data identifying the identity of the news content and a respective tag location on the print media, the method comprising the steps of: using an optically imaging pen to capture an image of at least one of the coded data tags, when the pen is placed in an operative position relative to the print media, and to process the images so as to: (i) identify a coded data tag from the captured image; (ii) identify perspective-distorted target elements in the tag and calculate a perspective transform, wherein the perspective transform is determined using the imaged target elements which are perspective-distorted due to a tilt of the pen; (iii) decode at least some of the coded data contained within the tag to determine the identity of the news content and a tag location; (iv) use the perspective transform and the tag location to determine a nib position of the pen, said nib position being different than said tag location; and (v) generate indicating data including the identity of the news content and the nib position of the pen; and providing news to the user, said news being identified using the indicating data.
