Abstract
A method for providing user interaction with a printed page (10) includes providing artwork (20) for a first page to be printed; providing a printing model to simulate a first printed page using the artwork; simulating the first page to be printed using the printing model; extracting a first set of features from the first simulated page (220); and embedding the first set of extracted features in a first URL (270). The invention includes printing the first page; capturing a digital image of the printed page (415) with a mobile device (400); extracting features (430) from the digital image; generating the URL associated with the digital image using the features extracted from the digital image; and navigating to the generated URL using a web browser (470).

A method for enabling user interaction with a printed page comprising:
- having artwork for a first page to be printed;
- providing a printing model to simulate a first printed page using artwork;
- simulating the first page to be printed using the printing model to create a virtual proof;
- extracting a first set of non-symbolic image features from the virtual proof page;
- appending the first set of non-symbolic image features to a pre-determined URL to form a second URL;
- printing the first page;
- providing a website at the second URL and receiving an access request for the website
- photographing the printed page by a user using a mobile device having a camera and a computer, operating a software application;
- appending the first set of non-symbolic image features from the photograph to the pre-determined URL to form the second URL;
- and
- accessing the website with the second URL.
A method for enabling user interaction for a printed publication comprising:
- having artwork for each page to be printed;
- providing a printing model to simulate each printed page using artwork;
- simulating each printed page using the printing model to create a virtual proof;
- extracting a set of non-symbolic image features from each virtual proof;
- appending the non-symbolic image features from each simulated page to a pre-determined URL to form a set of URLs;
- printing the pages;
- and
- providing a website with the set of URLs and receiving an access request for the website.
A method of user interaction with a printed page and website, comprising:
- photographing a printed page;
- extracting a first set of non-symbolic image features from the photograph;
- appending the first set of non-symbolic image features from the photograph to a pre-determined URL to form a new URL;
- and
- accessing a website associated with the new URL.
