First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus for decoding information encoded in symbolic marks, said apparatus comprising:
- an authentication part configured to receive user authentication information corresponding to a specific user of the apparatus, and to authenticate said user authentication information;
an input part configured to receive image data of a barcode; and
a processing part configured to process the image data to decode barcode data encoded in the barcode, generate a destination URL by processing the barcode data, and modify the destination URL by appending additional information to the destination URL, said additional information having been determined based on user identity and role from the user authentication information corresponding to the specific user of the apparatus, and automatically input the modified destination URL into a browser.

20. A non-transitory computer readable medium tangibly embodying a series of instructions that, when executed by a processor of an apparatus, cause the apparatus to perform a method for decoding information encoded in symbolic marks, said method comprising:
-
receiving image data of a barcode; processing the image data to decode barcode data encoded in the barcode; and
generating a destination URL by processing the barcode data, and modifying the destination URL, by appending additional information to the destination URL, said additional information having been determined based on user identity and role from the user authentication information, a current time value or a current geographical location, and automatically inputting the modified destination URL into a browser.
