1. A computer comprising:
- a microprocessor;
a display communicatively coupled to the microprocessor;
a communication interface communicatively coupled to the microprocessor;
wherein the computer is configured to;
receive a byte stream of content viewable on the display, the byte stream comprising both multimedia content and a decodable indicia;
locate the decodable indicia in the byte stream;
attempt to decode the decodable indicia to produce a decoded message;
display the content with decoded message data embedded into the content, wherein the decoded message data comprises the decoded message, data derived from the decoded message, and/or a flag indicating whether the attempt to decode the decodable indicia was successful.

Abstract
A computer can comprise a housing, a microprocessor disposed within the housing, a display, and a communication interface communicatively coupled to the microprocessor. The computer can be configured, responsive to locating decodable indicia within content viewable on the display, to decode the decodable indicia to produce at least one decoded message. The computer can be further configured to display the content with decoded message data being embedded into the content. The decoded message data can be provided by at least one decoded message, data derived from the decoded message.

15. A data decoding system comprising:
-
a client computer communicatively coupled to a network; and one or more server computers communicatively coupled to the network, the one or more server computers executing at least one decoding process; wherein the client computer is configured, responsive to locating a decodable indicia within a byte stream of content viewable on a display, to transmit a decoding request comprising a part of the content to the one or more server computers; wherein the decoding process is configured to; in response to receiving the decoding request, authenticate the client computer; in response to authenticating the client computer, executing a decoding operation to decode the decodable indicia into a decoded message; in response to completing a decoding operation, transmit the decoded message and/or a decoding operation completion code to the client computer; wherein said client computer is configured to display the content with decoded message data embedded into the content, wherein the decoded message data is the decoded message and/or data derived from the decoded message. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
