Launching a web site using a portable scanner
First Claim
1. A method for a user accessing information on a network, comprising the steps of:
- extracting with a portable extraction device at a user location information from a machine recognizable code (MRC), which MRC has associated therewith routing information corresponding to a remote location on the network;
wirelessly transmitting the extracted information from the MRC to a network interface device in response to the step of extracting in a predetermined number of steps;
at the network interface device, receiving the transmitted information and, upon receiving any of the transmitted information, utilizing that received information to connect to the remote location on the network, while substantially ignoring subsequent transfers of extracted information from the portable extraction device;
connecting the user location over the network to the remote location associated with the extracted information from the MRC, and downloading information therefrom; and
displaying the downloaded information on a display at the user location, such that when displayed, substantially immediate feedback in the form of the displayed information is provided to the user in response to the step of extracting.

Abstract
A method for a user to access information on a network. Information from a machine recognizable code (MRC) (1606) is extracted at a user location, which MRC (1606) has associated therewith routing information to a remote location (312) on the network. The extracted information from the MRC (1606) is wirelessly transmitted to a network interface device (302) in response to the information being extracted. The remote location (312) associated with the extracted information from the MRC (1606) is then connected thereto from the user location and the information downloaded therefrom. The downloaded information is displayed on a display (1612) at the user location, such that when displayed, substantially immediate feedback is provided to the user in response to the MRC (1606) being scanned.

10. A system for a user accessing information on a network for utilizing information in a machine recognizable code (MRC) to access such information, which MRC has associated therewith routing information corresponding to a remote location on the network, comprising:
-
a portable extraction device at a user location for extracting information from an MRC code disposed thereat;
a network interface device to which said extracted information from said MRC is wirelessly transmitted by said portable extraction device in response to being extracted thereby;
wherein said extracted information is transmitted to said network interface device in a predetermined number of steps;
wherein said transmitted information is received at said network interface device and, upon receiving any of said transmitted stored information, said remote location on the network is connected to said network interface device utilizing that received information, while ignoring subsequent transfers of extracted information from said portable extraction device;
wherein said network interface device at said user location connects to said remote location associated with said extracted information from said MRC and downloads information therefrom; and
wherein said downloaded information is displayed on a display at said user location, such that when displayed, substantially immediate feedback in the form of the displayed information is provided to the user in response to said MRC being extracted. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
