Abstract: Providing interaction between a user with remote data stored on a network is disclosed. A physical medium has at least one hot spot encoded with linking data enabling access to remote data. The linking data is encoded according to a spectral encoding scheme. At least part of the linking data is visible and is blended with and appears to comprise at least part of an un-encoded graphic or text visible on the physical medium such that it is not apparent to a viewer of the physical medium that said linking data is encoded in said at least one hot spot. A sensor measures the hot spot and decodes the linking data. A transmitter coupled to the sensor transmits the linking data to a remote computer system. The remote computer system responds to the linking data to retrieve the remote data and present the remote data to the user.

Abstract: A computerized interactor system uses physical, three-dimensional objects as metaphors for input of user intent to a computer system. When one or more interactors are engaged with a detection field, the detection field reads an identifier associated with the object and communicates the identifier to a computer system. The computer system determines the meaning of the interactor based upon its identifier and upon a semantic context in which the computer system is operating. One specific embodiment of the present invention is a bead interactor system that is a user playable sound and light show system. When an interactor bead is positioned within the detection space of the bead interactor system, a sound sequence begins and continues to play unaltered until the bead interactor is removed or other bead interactors are positioned within or removed from the detection space. Each bead represents a different sound and the row and column location of the bead within the detection space controls how the sound is modified, e.g., louder or softer, higher pitched or lower pitched, the period of play, etc. In some embodiments, the beads are translucent in order to conduct light from light sources located under each bead receptacle. The available sounds are determined not only by the identity of the beads and their positioning within the detection space and their associated states or orientations, but also by sound data stored in an accompanying computer readable medium. Hence a user can access a variety of sound collections by simply installing a different computer readable medium.

Abstract translation: 计算机化交互系统使用物理三维对象作为将用户意图输入到计算机系统的隐喻。 当一个或多个交互者参与检测字段时，检测字段读取与对象相关联的标识符并将该标识符传送到计算机系统。 计算机系统基于其标识符和计算机系统在其中运行的语义环境来确定交互器的意义。 本发明的一个具体实施方式是作为用户可播放的声光系统的小珠交互系统。 当相互作用珠位于珠交互作用系统的检测空间内时，声音序列开始并继续播放直到小珠交互器被去除或者其他小珠互动器位于检测空间内或从检测空间移除。 每个珠表示不同的声音，并且检测空间内的珠的行和列位置控制声音如何被修改，例如更大或更柔和，更高的倾斜或更低的音高，播​​放的时间等。在一些实施例中， 珠子是半透明的，以便从位于每个珠子容器下面的光源传导光。 可用的声音不仅由珠子的身份及其在检测空间及其相关联的状态或取向中的定位以及存储在伴随的计算机可读介质中的声音数据决定。 因此，用户可以通过简单地安装不同的计算机可读介质来访问各种声音集合。
