Abstract
Abstract Apparatus and method for recording a coded pattern on a CRT display comprises a detector for detecting the coded pattern, a decoder for recognizing the coded pattern, apparatus for generating a signal in response to a decode, and apparatus for recording the generated signal in a nondeceptive manner by recording the decode immediately subsequent the occurrence thereof. Alternatively, a signal is generated in response to a detected signal and recorded directly without decoding.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 20
Claim 1
Independent Claim
66 words
A method for recognition of a coded pattern appearing on a CRT display and immediate recording of a signal generated in response thereto comprising the steps of: recognizing said coded pattern by decoding in response only to a single code; generating a signal in response to said recognition of said single code; and recording said generated signal whereby a data record is obtained for subsequent analysis.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
66 words
A method for recognition of a coded pattern appearing on a CRT display and immediate recording of a signal generated in response thereto comprising the steps of: recognizing said coded pattern by decoding in response only to a single code; generating a signal in response to said recognition of said single code; and recording said generated signal whereby a data record is obtained for subsequent analysis.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
61 words
A method for recording of a digitally coded pattern comprising flashes and lack of flashes appearing on a CRT display, comprising the steps of: detecting said code pattern by decoding only in response to a single code; generating signals responsive to said flashes of said single coDe; and recording said generated signals whereby a data record is obtained for subsequent analysis.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
61 words
A method for recording of a digitally coded pattern comprising flashes and lack of flashes appearing on a CRT display, comprising the steps of: detecting said code pattern by decoding only in response to a single code; generating signals responsive to said flashes of said single coDe; and recording said generated signals whereby a data record is obtained for subsequent analysis.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
68 words
