Abstract
In a document enrichment system, device buttons can be programmed to associate a number of personalities to the buttons on the device. These associations may be stored locally on the device. When the device with the programmed personality is activated on the device, the document produced is sent to a document enrichment system. Once enriched the document enrichment system notifies the user of the availability of the document in its new form.
