Benefits of technology

Enables efficient interaction with printed documents by allowing mobile devices to sense and decode Netpage tags, reducing the need for additional print nozzles and ink, thus maintaining compactness and efficiency in small form-factor devices.

Problems solved by technology

The problem with these options is that they require the mobile telecommunications device to include Netpage tag printing capabilities.
Whilst this is less of an issue with large, mains-powered printers, it can be an issue in small form-factor articles such as mobile telecommunications devices.
This requires that the printer include a Netpage sensing device, which may be somewhat bulky for use in mobile applications, and requires additional processing capacity.
Even if a Netpage sensing device is provided to enable the mobile telecommunications device to act as a Netpage pen in a more general sense, it is undesirable for a user to have to separately scan a portion of the pre-printed media to determine parameters of the coded data before inserting the media for printing.

Structure

[2376]A wide range of different tag structures (as described in the assignee's various cross-referenced Netpage applications) can be used. The preferred tag will now be described in detail.

[2377]FIG. 130 shows the structure of a complete tag 1400. Each of the four black circles 1402 is a target. The tag 1400, and the overall pattern, has four-fold rotational symmetry at the physical level. Each square region 1404 represents a symbol, and each symbol represents four bits of information.

[2378]FIG. 131 shows the structure of a symbol. It contains four macrodots 1406, each of which represents the value of one bit by its presence (one) or absence (zero). The macrodot spacing is specified by the parameter s throughout this document. It has a nominal value of 143 μm, based on 9 dots printed at a pitch of 1600 dots per inch. However, it is allowed to vary by ±10% according to the capabilities of the device used to produce the pattern.

[2379]FIG. 132 shows an array of nine adjacent s...

Abstract

A mobile telecommunications device comprising: a printhead for printing upon print media; a first drive shaft for feeding the print media past the printhead; and a second drive shaft for passing the print media past the printhead once disengaged from the first drive shaft whilst the printhead continues to print upon the print media.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 11 / 124,163 filed May 9, 2005 all of which are herein incorporated by reference.FIELD OF INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a print medium for use in a mobile device incorporating a printer. The invention has primarily been designed for use in a mobile device such as a mobile telecommunications device (i.e. a mobile phone) that incorporates a printer, and will be described with reference to such an application. However, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the invention can be used with other types of portable device, or even non-portable devices.[0003]The invention has primarily been designed for use in a mobile telecommunications device such as a mobile telecommunications device (i.e. a mobile phone) that incorporates a printer, and will be described with reference to such an application.
