First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, implemented in a computer system, of associating an input/output device with a portable scanner, comprising:
- receiving, at a computer system and from a scanner, a device identifier scanned from the scanner while displayed on an electronic device;
associating, in a database in the computer system, the electronic device with the scanner based at least in part on the device identifier of the electronic device;
receiving, at the computer system and from the scanner, scanned data scanned by the scanner;
selecting, by the computer system, based at least in part on the device identifier associated with the scanner, the electronic device to send the scanned data; and
sending, by the computer system, the scanned data to the selected electronic device.

Abstract
A device identifier is scanned with a portable scanner and communicated to a service provider. The service provider associates the device with the portable scanner. Information is scanned from a printed source and communicated to the service provider and subsequent information is received in response at a device identified by the device identifier. In some embodiments, a communication session identifier is scanned with a portable scanner and communicated to the service provider rather than (or in cooperation with) the device identifier.
