A system for generating an association between a software object and a sticker on a surface, and then retrieving the software object, is disclosed. The sticker has disposed thereon coded data indicative of a sticker identity. A sensing device is provided for sensing the coded data in order to determine the sticker identity, and to generate indicating data at least partially indicative of the sticker identity. A computer system receives the indicating data from the sensing device, stores object data indicative of each of a plurality of software objects in an object repository, orders the object data stored in the object repository according to when the software object data was stored in the object repository, determines, using the order of the object data in the object repository, the software object which has been most recently stored in the object repository, generates the association based at least partially on the most recently stored software object and the sticker identity, receives further indicating data from the sensing device, the indicating data being at least partially indicative of the sticker identity, and retrieves the software object associated with the sticker identity.
