Abstract
A data storage system, having a data processor operable to convert digital data signals into ink dot patterns, and a data processor operable to receive the ink dot patterns and convert them into digital signals, the system having at least one print media receiving carrier or panel, a printing member operable to deposit ink dot patterns in a print medium on the carrier panel, and a print media reader operable to read the ink dot patterns and create data signals there from, and a method of storing and retrieving data.
Claims19
A data storage system comprising a data processor operable to convert digital signals into ink dot patterns and operable to receive such ink dot patterns and convert them into digital signals;
- a printing assembly operable to create ink dot patterns, and a reader operable to read said ink dot patterns and create data signals therefrom.
A method of processing data in a computer system and for encrypting digital data into data symbols and recovering data from said symbols. Said method comprising;
- receiving digital data;
- encrypting said digital data as data symbols, and, storing said data in a storage area and retrieving said data from the storage area, and converting said data from said encrypted data symbols into said digital data.
A data conversion and recording system comprising;
- a data processor operable to convert digital data signals into ink dot patterns, and being further operable to receive such ink dot patterns and convert them into digital signals, and wherein the ink dot patterns are recorded on a at least one of a plurality of print media carriers;
- a printing assembly operable to depositing dot patterns on one of said carriers;
- a print media reader operable to read said ink dot patterns on at least one carrier and transmit them to said data processor;
A method of storing digital data as graphic symbols in a computer system, and comprising the steps of, encrypting digital data into graphic symbols, depositing graphic symbols as ink dot patterns on a carrier, subsequently reading said ink dot patterns and converting them into digital data.
