ABSTRACT:
A method for providing a mailing system includes receiving, through a computer system, a mail item from a sender, and printing the mail item in a document including coded data thereon, the coded data including an indication of the identity of the mail item and at least one reference point on the document. The method also includes receiving, in the computer system, indicating data from a sensing device, the indicating data including information regarding the identity of the mail item and at least one action of the sensing device in relation to the document generated by the sensing device using at least some of the coded data; and generating a second mail item using said indicating data from the sensing device.A mailing system includes a computer system having a sender terminal and a receiver terminal and adapted to transmit a mail item from the sender terminal to the receiver terminal. A printer device in the receiver terminal is adapted to print a mail item from the sender terminal in a document including coded data thereon, the coded data including an indication of the identity of the mail item and at least one reference point on the document. A sensing device is arranged to communicate to the computer system indicating data from the sensing device, the indicating data including information regarding the identity of the mail item and at least one action of the sensing device in relation to the document generated by the sensing device using at least some of the coded data, whereby the computer system can generate a second mail item using the indicating data from the sensing device.
