Zusammenfassung
Today, printing and reverse printing (scanning,
OCR, logical labeling etc.) technologies have become
quite mature and thus allow for an easy transition of
documents between physical and electronic world.
However, there is no technology today which supports
the lossless interpretation of paper-based user interaction
with direct effects upon the electronic representation
of that document.
The HyperPrinting environment tries to fill in this
gap and thus accounts for the personal favors of a majority
of office workers: Not only managers and knowledge
workers prefer to read longer documents, articles
or news from paper in contrast to a computer
monitor or handheld computer. With the help of
HyperPrinting, users can annotate, send notes or initiate
tasks and it thus offers a completely new paradigm
in the usage and treatment of paper documents.
As a side-effect, the use of HyperPrinting builds up
a document repository which is not only searchable by
full text but also by meta-information, which in turn is
depending on the selected user scenario.
