The present invention provides a paper-based meeting service management tool for meeting support functions. The paper-based tool includes a digital pen that can be used to make strokes which can be transmitted from the digital pen to services that provide the meeting support functions. The paper-based tool also includes digital paper that has an underlying image pattern. The digital pen can locate itself on the digital paper by recognizing underlying dot patterns and transmitting the location information to a computer through a Bluetooth connection.

Systems and methods provide for determining a location and size of a visual link to digital media on physical media such as a paper document. An authoring tool for creating a link on a paper document, such as an Embedded Media Marker (EMM), identifies and scores other EMMs and related keypoints on the document to determine similarities between a newly-created EMM and other EMMs and keypoints on the paper document. The scores are visualized for a user on a display in order to position and size the newly-created EMM in a location on the paper document that will avoid confusion with other EMMs and related content. The location and size of the newly-created EMM may be automatically adjusted based on the scoring of the keypoints and related EMMs.

Embedded Media Barcode Links (EMBL), are optimally blended iconic barcode marks printed on paper documents that signify the existence of media associated with that part of the document. EMBLs are used for media retrieval with a camera phone. Users take a picture of an EMBL-signified document patch using a cell phone, and the media associated with the EMBL-signified document location is displayed on the phone. Unlike traditional bar code which requires an exclusive space, EMBLs are optimally blended with contents and thus have less interference with the original document layout and can be moved closer to a media associated location. Unlike Embedded Media Makers (EMM) which requires underlying document features for the marker identification, EMBL has no requirement to underlying features. Moreover, EMBL can take the advantage of users' knowledge to traditional barcode. Retrieval of media associated with an EMBL is based on the barcode identification of the captured EMBL.

Method, device, system and framework for enabling token and point level operations on language independent paper documents through camera phone interface. Image descriptors from snapshots of document captured by the phone can be extracted by phone itself and transmitted to server. In another implementation, the descriptors are extracted by receiving server. The server is connected to database of high-quality images of the same document and matched high-quality patch is sent back to phone for user's viewing and manipulation. Modifications and annotations of high-quality patch are transmitted to database and stored. Motion detection is combined with image recognition to provide high quality images of regions of document being viewed by sweeping the phone. Capabilities include web-search, e-dictionary, or keyword finding for words in paper documents, copy-paste operations, constructing photo collages from portions of printed photos, and playing dynamic contents of printed presentation slides on display of camera phone.

Embedded Media Markers (EMM) are optical-filter-like overlaid marks that can be printed on a part of a paper document that signify the existence of media associated with that part of the document. Users take a picture of an EMM-signified document patch using a cell phone camera, and the media associated with the EMM-signified document location is retrieved and displayed on the phone. Unlike bar codes, EMMs are nearly transparent and thus do not interfere with the document contents. Retrieval of media associated with an EMM is based on image local features of the captured EMM-signified document patch. A semi-automatically technique places an EMM at a location in a document, in such a way that the EMM encompasses sufficient identification features with minimal disturbance to the original document.
