Abstract

A system and related method for dynamically linking tags with a virtual repository of a registered user are disclosed.

Claims

1. A system for dynamically linking tags with a virtual repository of a registered user, said system comprising:

a client mobile device having a scanner;

at least one tag, said at least one tag is encoded with a unique identification number;

a server comprising a tag database, a user profile database, and a virtual space database;

and a mobile application;

wherein the mobile application is configured to send to and receive data from the server, to read data encoded on the tags, and to enable a user to access, create, select, publish, and manage a static or interactive content on the virtual space database, and wherein the server is configured to send data to the mobile application, to receive and store data sent by the mobile application, and to link the tag identification number with a virtual space of the user.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein said at least one tag is a barcode tag encoded using the code selected from the group consisting of QR code, Aztec code, Data Matrix code, EZ code, High Capacity Color code, Maxi code, PDF417 code, and SPARQ code.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein said at least one tag is a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag or near field communication (NFC) tag.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein said mobile device is a cellular telephone, a personal computer, a tablet, a laptop, or a personal digital assistant (PDA).

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the data is metadata, multimedia data, interactive content data, user-defined virtual space access data, or security data, or combination thereof.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the data is the interactive content data for conducting commercial transactions.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein said at least one tag is a printed tag or a virtual tag.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the mobile application is configured to enable the user to create a customizable access to a virtual space database.

9. The system of claim 7, wherein the server is further configured to invalidate the link created between the tag identification number and the virtual space of the user if a predetermined condition is not met.

10. A method of dynamically linking tags with a virtual repository of a registered user using the system of claim 1, comprising the steps of:

encoding at least one tag with a unique identification number;

scanning the at least one tag using a mobile device of a user;

reading the tag identification number by a mobile application uploaded to the mobile device and sending the tag identification number to a server;

storing the tag identification number in a tag database maintained by the server;

performing tag and user verification by the server;

creating a virtual space of the user on a virtual space database maintained by the server;

linking the at least one tag identification number to the virtual space of the user;

generating data using the mobile application;

sending the data by the mobile application to the server;

and storing the data in the virtual space of the user by the server.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein said at least one tag is a barcode tag encoded using the code selected from the group consisting of QR code, Aztec code, Data Matrix code, EZ code, High Capacity Color code, Maxi code, PDF417 code, and SPARQ code.

12. The method of claim 10, wherein said tag is an RFID tag or near field communication (NFC) tag.

13. The method of claim 10, wherein said mobile device is a cellular telephone, a personal computer, a tablet, a laptop, or a personal digital assistant (PDA).

14. The method of claim 10, wherein the data is metadata, multimedia data, interactive content data, user-defined virtual space access data, or security data, or combination thereof.

15. The method of claim 10, wherein the data is the interactive content data for conducting commercial transactions.

16. The method of claim 10, wherein the at least one tag is a printed tag or a virtual tag.

17. The method of claim 10 further comprising the step of obtaining an access to the virtual space of the user by scanning the tag linked to a virtual space of the user.

18. The method of claim 10, further comprising creating a user-defined permission to access specific data located in the virtual space of the user.

19. The method of claim 10 further comprising the step of attaching the tag to an object.

20. The method of claim 10 further comprising the step of invalidating the link created between the tag identification and the virtual space of the user if a predetermined condition is not met.
