Device for receiving and identifying a book and its pages

An interactive book system comprising a device configured for receiving a book, said book comprising a book-identifier and a plurality of pages;

• wherein said device comprises:
• a user input detection device;
• a book-identifier detection device configured to detect the book-identifier of the book;
• an output device;
• a controller connected to the user input detection device, the book-identifier detection device and the output device;
• and
• a first fastening means configured to removably fasten the device to the book;
• wherein the controller is configured to determine the user input based on a signal from the user input detection device;
• and
• wherein the controller is configured to determine which book is fastened to the device based on the signal from the book-identifier detection device;
• wherein each page of the book that needs to be identified comprises a page-identifier;
• and, wherein said device further comprises:
• a first side configured to receive the pages of the book on a first side and a second side configured to receive the pages of the book on a second side;
• a page-identifier detection device configured to detect the page-identifiers of the book, the page-identifier detection device comprising a plurality of sensors, half of the sensors being disposed on each side of the device, each sensor being configured to correspond with a page-identifier of the book, preferably with two page-identifiers of the book;
• and
• wherein the controller is connected to the page-identifier detection device and configured to determine on which page the book is open based on the signal from the page-identifier detection device, comprising the signal from the sensors on the two sides of the device;
• wherein at any time a first half of two halves of the sensors detect a page identifier, and the controller is configured to determine the page based on a second half of the two halves of the sensors providing less signal than the first half;
• and a book configured to be fastened to the device;
• wherein the book comprises:
• a book-identifier;
• a binding system
• a plurality of pages connected to the binding system, wherein each page that needs to be identified comprises a page-identifier, and wherein for each page of the book, the page-identifier overlaps with the page-identifier of one different page when the book is closed and viewed from the above;
• and
• a second fastening means configured to removably fasten the book to the first fastening means of the device.
