Definitions

  • This invention relates to different aspects of a network-based system for carrying out operations concerning goods or services that are indicated on a product and more specifically to a method, a computer program, a device, a system and a product that can be used in this connection.
  • the Applicant has developed an electronic pen that is intended to be used on a surface which is provided with a position-coding pattern and which has an optical sensor which continually reads off the position-coding pattern in order to record what is written electronically in the form of coordinates.
  • the position-coding pattern and the pen is described in e.g. WO 01/26032, which is hereby incorporated by reference .
  • a pen of a similar type is described in US 5,852,434.
  • the Applicant's pen can, among other things, be used to write messages and to send these via a mobile phone to another mobile phone or via the mobile phone and the Internet to a computer. There is, however, a wish to be able to use an electronic pen for purposes other than recording text and sending messages. Summary of the Invention
  • the present invention thus relates to a method enabling a person to initiate an operation in a network-based system regarding goods or services that are indicated on a product .
  • the method is characterized by the step of giving an instruction to the system that the operation is to be carried out using person-specific information previously stored in the system, by reading off a position-coding pattern in an operation field on the product using a ' hand-held device, which operation field is provided with a position-coding pattern which codes coordinates representing said in- struction in the system.
  • a person can thus initiate an operation, for example make a payment, simply by reading off a position-coding pattern.
  • the person gives an instruction to the system that a particular operation is to be carried out and that person-specific information previously stored in the system is to be used to carry out the operation. This is the simplest possible way of carrying out an operation in a network-based system.
  • the operation can be carried out in a completely mobile way. All that is required is a hand-held device for reading off the position-coding pattern.
  • the communi- cation with other units in the network-based system can take place immediately or at a later time.
  • the operation concerns goods or services in a wide sense.
  • the goods or services can already have been de- livered or can be about to be delivered in the future as a result of the operation.
  • the operation can preferably consist of a payment for the goods or services, in which case the person-specific information can be an account from which the payment is to be made. It can, however, also consist of an order for goods, for example information, in which case the person-specific information is the person's address, electronic or physical, to which the information is to be sent . It can also consist of an electronic signing of a document, in which case the person-specific information is the person's signature in digital format.
  • a further example is subscribing to shares, which requires access to more than one type of person-specific information, for example civic registration number and address.
  • a person skilled in the art can find further examples of operations that require access to person-specific information that is of the nature that it is not changed often but can be previously stored in the network-based system in order to be used by various parties in the system for the carrying out of operations concerning various goods and services when the person so permits .
  • the goods or services are indicated on the product .
  • the product can be any product on which one or more items of goods or services can be indicated and on which a position-coding pattern can be applied in such a way that it can be read off by a hand-held device which is intended for this purpose.
  • the product is preferably a physical product and can, for example, be a sheet of paper, a bro- chure, a catalogue, a newspaper, a form or packaging of some suitable material .
  • the product can advantageously be of such material that it is possible to write information with an ordinary pen point .
  • the position-coding pattern can be any type that codes coordinates for positions with a resolution that makes it possible to record electronically text handwritten with a normal pen point .
  • the pattern is preferably of the type described in Applicant's international Patent Applications WO 01/26032 and WO 01/26033.
  • a great advantage of the use of a position-coding pattern of the type described above in comparison to some other type of code is that the position-coding pattern makes it possible also to record graphical information which is drawn by hand.
  • the mark which is made in a payment box can be recorded and stored in the system. This makes possible later comparison with the physical mark which the user has made in the advertisement.
  • the user can additionally choose to make the mark as a personal mark instead of just a cross or a tick.
  • the position-coding pattern allows the user to attach any graphical information that is not coded or specified in the system itself to another party in the system, which naturally increases the flexibility of the system considerably. The user can thus attach a more detailed specification of the operation or a message with requirements or information concerning the operation to the other party.
  • the position-coding pattern has thus the dual function of coding information and of making possible recording of graphical information.
  • the reading off of the position-coding pattern can be carried out by reading off such part of the position-coding pattern that codes coordinates for a single position. In other cases, it can be necessary to read off coordinates for several positions.

Abstract

Selon l'invention, dans un procédé qui requiert d'une personne désirant effectuer une opération dans un système en réseau, par exemple un paiement, concernant des biens ou des services indiqués sur un produit, ladite personne donne une instruction audit système aux termes de laquelle l'opération doit être exécutée, suivant des informations spécifiques à ladite personne déjà stockées dans ledit système, par la lecture d'un motif de codage de position dans un champ d'opération sur le produit au moyen d'un dispositif portatif. Le champ d'opération est pourvu d'un motif de codage de position qui code les coordonnées représentant ladite instruction dans le système. Le motif de codage de position permet à ladite personne d'enregistrer électroniquement des informations graphiques, par exemple un message ou une spécification de l'opération, qui sont envoyées à un correspondant participant au système.
