Abstract
Identifier tags are embedded in pages of a document. Each of these identifier tags identifies the particular page that a reader is viewing. By correlating the currently read page to information stored memory, dynamic content corresponding to the currently read page can be activated. This dynamic content can include, for example, lighting, sound effects, environmental conditions, or the like.
Claims21
A page identification system for use with a physical document that includes multiple pages, the page identification system comprising:
- at least one first identification tag that is associated with at least one first page of the multiple pages of the physical document;
- at least one second identification tag that is associated with at least one second page of the physical document;
- at least one identification tag reader that reads the at least one first identification tag when the at least one first page has been turned;
- a page identification management system that determines that the at least one first page is viewed by a user based upon the reading of the at least one identification tag reader;
- at least one dynamic content output device wherein the pace identification management system controls a dynamic content output based on the reading oil the at least one identification tag reader;
- and
- wherein the dynamic content is at least two of music, sound effects, voice recordings, spot lighting, ambient room lighting, temperature, chair motion control, volume control, pan, fade, web page access, and effects on a computer comprising dynamic text, colors, patterns, graphics and multimedia presentations.
A method for identifying pages for use with a physical document that includes multiple pages, the method comprising:
- associating at least one first identification tag with at least one first page of the multiple pages of the physical document;
- associating at least one second identification tag with at least one second page of the physical document;
- reading the at least one first identification tag;
- determining that the at least one first page is viewed by a user when the at least one first page has been turned, based upon the reading of the at least one first identification tag;
- and
- outputting a dynamic content based upon the reading of the at least one first identification tag, wherein the dynamic content is at least two of music, sound effects, voice recordings, spot lighting, ambient room lighting, temperature, chair motion control, volume control, pan, fade, web page access, and effects on a computer comprising, dynamic text, colors, patterns, graphics and multimedia presentations.
An information storage medium for use with a physical document that includes multiple pages comprising:
- information that effects detection of at least one first identification tag that is associated with at least one first page of the multiple pages of the physical document;
- information that effects detection of at least one second identification tag that is associated with at least one second page of the multiple pages of the physical document;
- information that effects detection of the at least one first identification tag when the at least one first page has been turned;
- information that correlates the at least one first identification tag with the at least one first page when the at least one first page is turned;
- information that outputs a dynamic content based on the correlated information;
- wherein the dynamic content is at least two of music, sound effects, voice recordings, spot lighting, ambient room lighting, temperature, chair motion control, volume control, pan, fade, web page access, and effects on a computer comprising, dynamic text, colors, patterns, graphics and multimedia presentations.
