Abstract
A product which is intended to be used in connection with the recording of information has a surface on which there are a plurality of information alternatives which each have an associated code area. The surface is further provided with a two-dimensional position code which codes coordinates for a plurality of positions on the surface; which is unrelated to the information to be recorded and which enables recording of a desired information alternative by reading the position code for a position in the code area associated with the desired information alternative. The product can advantageously be used in restaurants, when booking trips, making hotel reservations and the like. A system for recording information, as well as a method and software for making the product are also described.
Claims20
A product intended to be used in connection with the recording of information and having a surface on which there are a plurality of different information alternatives, each having an associated code area, wherein the surface is provided with a two-dimensional position code which codes coordinates for a plurality of positions on the surface in said code areas and is unrelated to the information to be recorded, said surface permitting recording of a desired information alternative by reading the position code for a position in the code area associated with the desired information alternative.
A method for making a product for recording information, comprising steps of:
- creating a surface with a two-dimensional position code, which codes coordinates for a plurality of positions on the surface;
- applying a plurality of information alternatives which are unrelated to the position code on the surface;
- determining, for each information alternative, a code area in which reading of the position code is to result in recording of this information alternative;
- and
- associating this code area with the information alternative in a memory structure.
