Launching a web site using a passive transponder
First Claim
1. A method of forwarding information to a user, comprising the steps of:
- providing a portable triggering device having a unique code and a unique transponder identification code stored therein, the unique transponder identification code being exclusively associated with that portable triggering device;
causing, by activation of the portable triggering device by an activation system, the unique code and the unique transponder identification code to be output from the portable triggering device in response to the portable triggering device being proximate to the activation system, the activation system disposed on a network and physically separate from the portable triggering device;
retrieving location information associated with the unique code from a database, the location information corresponding to a location of the web page on a remote location disposed on the network, wherein the step of retrieving location information further comprises the step of matching the unique code and the unique transponder identification code with the location information of the database;
in response to retrieving the location information, automatically connecting the activation system to the remote location; and
presenting the web page corresponding to the location information of the remote location to the user via the activation system.

Abstract
A method of displaying a web page to a user. A triggering device having a unique code stored therein is provided to the user. The unique code is extracted from the triggering device with an activation system, the activation system disposed on a network. Location information associated with the unique code is retrieved from a database, the location information corresponding to a location of the web page on a remote location disposed on the network. In response to retrieving the location information, the activation system is connected to the remote location. The web page corresponding to the location information of the remote location is then presented to the user via the activation system.

15. An apparatus for forwarding information to a user, comprising:
-
an activation system disposed on a network that, when a portable triggering device having a unique code stored therein and a unique transponder identification code stored therein is proximate to the activation system, the unique transponder identification code being exclusively associated with that portable triggering device, such proximity results in the activation system causing the unique code and the unique transponder identification code to be output from the portable triggering device through activation thereof by the activation system, the activation system physically separate from the portable triggering device; wherein location information associated with the unique code is retrieved from a database by matching the unique code and the unique transponder identification with the location information, the location information corresponding to a location of a web page on a remote location disposed on the network; wherein in response to retrieving the location information, the activation system is automatically connected to the remote location; and wherein the web page corresponding to the location information of the remote location is presented to the user via the activation system. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
