Printing an advertisement using a mobile device

1. A system for printing an advertisement on a print medium, the system comprising:

a mobile telecommunications device having a printer module for printing the advertisement on the print medium, a sensor module for sensing a print media identifier of the print medium, and a media feed path along which the print medium is fed; and

the print medium, the print medium being provided with first coded data as a linear pattern and second coded data as a two-dimensional patter, the first coded data encoding first information and the second coded data encoding second information, wherein

at least some of the first and second information is indicative of the print media identifier, and at least some of the second information is further indicative of a two dimensional coordinate grid,

the print medium includes an interactive element associated with a linked object, the linked object being associated with a region of the print medium using the second coded data, and the linked object being stored in an object repository, and

the media feed path of the mobile telecommunications device is adapted to present the print medium fed therethrough to the sensor module, such that the first and second coded data are read using the sensor module, and the print media identifier determined therefrom.

2. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein additional information associated with the advertisement is stored in an archive.

3. The system as claimed in claim 2 , wherein additional information associated with the advertisement is retrieved from the archive using the print media identifier.

4. The system as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the printed advertisement is a permission token readable using the sensor module to at least one of: retrieve information associated with the advertisement from the archive; obtain an incentive; obtain a redemption; obtain a voucher; obtain a discount; obtain a sample; and gain access to a resource.

5. The system as claimed in claim 2 , wherein printing the advertisement causes information associated with the advertisement to be archived.

6. The system as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the information associated with the advertisement includes one or more of: the advertisement; a visual description of the advertisement; an image of the advertisement; an interactive description of the advertisement; contents of the advertisement; and advertisement details.

7. The system as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a database for storing an association of the advertisement with the print media identifier.

8. The system as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the database is stored remotely at a server.

9. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first information is further indicative of at least part of a digital signature associated with the print media identifier, the sensor module determining, by reading the coded data, at least part of the digital signature, and the printer module printing, if the digital signature is authentic, the advertisement.

10. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the advertisement is simultaneously printed on the print medium with other content.
