Abstract
The present invention relates to a system for mobile retrieval of information over a wireless or mobile network. Information to be retrieved is stored in packets or files in a remotely located server. Each packet of information is assigned a specific serial number, and the serial number is encoded into a coded image. A camera enabled mobile device is used to capture the coded image, then proceeds to decode the coded image into the serial number using an application pre-installed on the mobile device. The mobile device then transmits the serial number over a wireless network to the server where the information to be retrieved is stored. The server then processes the serial number and retrieves the information packet previously associated with this serial number from an internal database.
