First Claim
1. A method of displaying content information for viewing by a user, the method comprising:
- providing a portable device;
disposing a wireless transmitting device in close association with the portable device, such that it is coextensive therewith, and having a unique code associated therewith that uniquely identifies the portable device, and the wireless transmitting device capable of transmitting a representation of the unique code to a receiving device, the unique code associated with a remote location on a network that comprises the source of the content information, and the unique code having no location information contained therein;
receiving from the transmitting device with a receiving device the representation of the unique code associated with the portable device when the wireless transmitting device is within a defined physical proximity to the receiving device, wherein the defined physical proximity is defined by the transmit receive properties of the combination of the transmitting device and receiving device;
transferring the representation of the unique code from the receiving device to an interface system, the interface system disposed on the network at an interface location;
retrieving location information associated with the representation of the unique code from a database, the location information corresponding to the location of the web page at the remote location on the network;
coupling the interface system to the remote location based on the retrieved location information; and
displaying the content information corresponding to the location information of the remote location via the interface system to provide the user the ability to view such.

Abstract
A method of displaying a web page to a user. A triggering device (2500) is provided having a unique code associated therewith, the unique code associated with a remote location on a network of the source of the web page. The unique code is transmitted from the triggering device (2500) to an interface system (302), which interface system (302) is disposed on the network (306) at a triggering location. Location information associated with the unique code is then retrieved from a database (1614 or 310), the location information corresponding to the location of the web page at the remote location (312) on the network (306). In response to retrieving the location information, the interface system (302) connects to the remote location (312). The web page corresponding to location information of the remote location (312) is then presented to the user via the interface system (302).

13. A system for displaying a web page to a user, comprising:
-
a portable device; a wireless transmitting device disposed in close association with said portable device, said wireless transmitting device having a unique code associated therewith that uniquely identifies said portable device; a transceiver unit adapted to transmit a triggering signal and receive a data signal in response to said triggering signal when said wireless transmitting device is within a defined physical proximity to said transceiver unit, said data signal containing a representation of said unique code, wherein said defined physical proximity is defined by the transmit receive properties of the combination of said transceiver unit and said wireless transmitting device; an interface system coupled to said transceiver unit, said interface system disposed on a network; and a display coupled to said interface system; wherein said interface system is adapted to use said representation of said unique code to retrieve associated location information from a database, said database disposed remote from said interface system, said location information corresponding to a location of said web page on a remote location disposed on said network, said unique code having no location information contained therein; wherein said interface system is adapted to couple to said remote location based on said location information retrieved from said database; wherein said web page corresponding to the said location information of said remote location is presented to the user via said display. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
