## Abstract

A mobile telecommunications device is disclosed. The mobile telecommunications device has a media feed path, a sensor module in the media feed path for sensing data encoded on a surface of a print medium, the data encoding at least a print media identifier, a print medium identifier identifying the print medium, processor for determining the print media identifier from the data, communication means for communicating a request to a remote server, the request including the print media identifier, and for receiving a security identification associated with the print media identifier from the remote server, and a printer module in the media feed path for printing the security identification on the print medium.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A mobile telecommunications device comprising:
a media feed path;
a sensor module in the media feed path for sensing data encoded on a surface of a print medium, the data encoding at least a print media identifier, a print medium identifier identifying the print medium;
processor for determining the print media identifier from the data;
communication means for communicating a request to a remote server, the request including the print media identifier, and for receiving a security identification associated with the print media identifier from the remote server; and
a printer module in the media feed path for printing the security identification on the print medium.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The mobile telecommunications device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the data is encoded on the surface of the print medium in a linear pattern.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The mobile telecommunications device as claimed in claim 1 wherein the data on the surface of the print medium further encodes a two-dimensional coordinate grid on the print medium, and the mobile telecommunications device further comprising a further sensor module external to the media feed path for sensing the data.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The mobile telecommunications device as claimed in claim 3, wherein positions on the print medium are associated with a linked object stored in an object repository, the link object being retrieved through the communication means upon one of said positions being sensed by the further sensor module.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The mobile telecommunications device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the data is further indicative of at least part of a digital signature associated with the print media identifier, and the mobile telecommunications device further comprising:
means for determining at least part of the digital signature, and
means for determining whether the digital signature is authentic, wherein the security identification is printed if the digital signature is authentic.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The mobile telecommunications device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the security identification includes at least one of: access details; access restrictions; security clearance; a name; an address; a telephone number; a facsimile number; an e-mail address; a web address; a photograph; and contact details.
