Abstract

An information processor capable of scanning and printing two-dimensional bar codes representing sounds and moving images. The processor prints text and graphics, the two-dimensional bar codes, and relational information that correlates the bar codes of sounds and moving images to the associated text and graphics printed by the processor. In addition, the processor (or another processor) scans the printed information, bar codes and relational information. Having scanned the printed information, the processor displays the printed text and graphics in a manner that allows a person viewing the display to mark the displayed text and graphics, and hear the bar-coded sounds and images associated with the marked text and graphics.
