providing a form having printed thereon coded data distributed over an area;
capturing, using a sensing device, an image from the form the image showing a portion of the coded data;
decoding at least some of the coded data within the captured image;
determining, from the coded data, an identity of the form and a position of the coded data on the form;
determining a position of the sensing device relative to the form from a distortion of the captured image and the determined
position of the coded data;
receiving, in a computer system, the identity of the form and the position of the sensing device as indicating data; and
identifying, in the computer system and from the indicating data, at least one parameter relating to the purchasing transaction.
