Abstract

A tag-based user interface scheme for digitizing and processing hardcopy documents utilizes a sticker that includes a printed data code representative of a user identity code and a service code. When the sticker is applied to a hardcopy document and scanned, the sticker is located, the data code is parsed, and a desired service is performed based upon the information stored in the data code.
