1. A computer comprising:
- a housing;
a microprocessor disposed within said housing;
a display;
a communication interface communicatively coupled to said microprocessor, said communication interface at least partially disposed within said housing;
wherein said computer is configured to receive a byte stream of content viewable on said display, the byte stream including both multimedia content and at least one decodable indicia, said computer further configured to locate the decodable indicia in the byte stream and decode said decodable indicia to produce at least one decoded message;
wherein said computer is further configured to display said content with decoded message data being embedded into said content;
wherein said decoded message data is provided by at least one of;
said at least one decoded message, data derived from said at least one decoded message.

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.

13. A method of displaying content comprising one or more images of decodable indicia by a computer, said method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a byte stream of content, the byte stream including both multimedia content and at least one decodable indicia; locating the decodable indicia within the byte stream; decoding the decodable indicia to produce at least one decoded message; and displaying the content with decoded message data being embedded into the displayed content; wherein the decoded message data is provided by at least one of;
said at least one decoded message, data derived from said at least one decoded message. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A data decoding system comprising a client computer and one or more server computers communicatively coupled to a network, said one or more server computers executing at least one decoding process;
-
wherein said client computer is configured, responsive to locating decodable indicia within a byte stream of content viewable on said display, to transmit a decoding request comprising at least part of said content to said one or more servers; wherein said at least one decoding process is configured, responsive to receiving said decoding request, to decode said decodable indicia into at least one decoded message; wherein said at least one decoding process is further configured, responsive to completing a decoding operation, to transmit at least one of;
said at least one decoded message, a decoding operation completion code to said client computer;wherein said client computer is further configured to display said content with decoded message data being embedded into said content; and wherein said decoded message data is provided by at least one of;
said at least one decoded message, data derived from said at least one decoded message. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
