Abstract
The invention enables creating a mark-able document for a user to mark, and recognizing and processing the user-marked mark-able document to generate an accurate user-readable result that has broad application. The application program used to create, process, and generate a printed output based on the processing includes an array of functionality to create a wide variety of mark-able documents.
Claims12
A method for creating a mark-able document, comprising:
- creating a definition file defining the content and layout of, and instructions for processing user-made-marks on, the mark-able document;
- generating a globally unique identification (GUID) associated with the definition file;
- storing the definition file and the GUID;
- creating a two-dimensional representation of the GUID, the two-dimensional identification containing a plurality of blocks, each of which encodes either a first state or second state, and which collectively encode an identifier, the two-dimensional identification being positioned along an edge of the document and being configured to detect and correct any skew that occurred during generation of a scanned image of the document after having been marked by a user and find the stored definition file from among other stored definition files;
- and
- outputting the mark-able document.

A non-transitory medium containing a program for directing one or more processors to create a mark-able document, the program comprising:
- instructions for creating a definition file defining the content and layout of, and instructions for processing user-made-marks on, the mark-able document;
- instructions for generating a globally unique identification (GUID) associated with the definition file;
- instructions for storing the definition file and the GUID;
- instructions for creating a two-dimensional representation of the GUID, the two-dimensional identification containing a plurality of blocks, each of which encodes either a first state or second state, and which collectively encode an identifier, the two-dimensional identification being positioned along an edge of the document and being configured to detect and correct any skew that occurred during generation of a scanned image of the document after having been marked by a user and find the stored definition file from among other stored definition files;
- and
- instructions for outputting the mark-able document.
