Abstract

A method for printing an interactive page for a collection of interactive pages includes steps of storing, in a cartridge holding a volume of printing fluid, a seed for generating a range of identifiers; generating, from the seed, an identifier that is unique within the collection of interactive pages; printing the unique identifier on a page together with human visible markings representing the information to be presented on the page; and storing the unique identifier in association with a page description describing a layout of the printed page.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method for printing an interactive page for a collection of interactive pages, the method comprising the steps of:
 storing, in a cartridge holding a volume of printing fluid, a seed for generating a range of identifiers;   generating, from the seed, an identifier that is unique within the collection of interactive pages;   printing the unique identifier on a page together with human visible markings representing the information to be presented on the page; and   storing the unique identifier in association with a page description describing a layout of the printed page.   
     
     
         2 . A method according to  claim 1 , wherein the seed represents a base identifier that is unique within the collection of interactive pages, and the step of generating a unique identifier increments the base identifier to generate an identifier that is also unique within the collection of interactive pages. 
     
     
         3 . A method according to  claim 2 , further comprising a step of storing in the cartridge a count indicative of the maximum number of increments the seed may be incremented by. 
     
     
         4 . A method according to  claim 2 , wherein the step of generating a unique identifier increments the base identifier until the cartridge holds insufficient volume to print a further page. 
     
     
         5 . A method according to  claim 1 , further comprising a step of encrypting the seed. 
     
     
         6 . A method according to  claim 1 , further comprising steps of generating a tag encoding the unique identifier, and printing the tag repeatedly over substantially an entire surface of the page.
