In an information management system for handling digital position data recorded by an electronic pen, the pen is controlled to convert recordings of a first code on a product to position data in a coordinate system, to convert recordings of a second code to input data, and to process the position data on the basis of the input data. The input data may define one or more functional areas in the coordinate system, and the pen may map the position data against the input data and take appropriate action if the position data is deemed to fall within a functional area. This allows the pen to be dynamically provided with a description of all or parts of the functional layout of a product, thereby reducing the need of the pen to pre-store such descriptions for all products. Encryption or usage may also be controlled based on data encoded by the second code. The product may be generated, via a computer-implemented method, to include the first code, the second code and any supporting graphics. The input data may alternatively be derived from another import interface of the pen, such as a communications interface or a replaceable memory unit.

Methods and systems for processing digitally recorded data in an electronic pen

Disclosed methods, computer-readable media, and systems relate to position-coded products and processing data from such products. In one implementation, a computer-readable storage medium stores a program for a computer to perform a method for creating an electronic representation of a position-coded product. The method may access an electronic document file with a set of document pages and map the document pages, copy for copy, within a selected number of copies, to pattern pages according to an ordering of the pattern pages.
