System and method for processing electronic documents

A system for processing electronic documents, comprising:

• a machine-readable code corresponding to an object of interest or an apparatus interpreting one or more characteristics of the object of interest itself in order to identify it to designate a computer server for content related to the object of interest that may be accessed and delivered electronically to a specified second electronic device, the code readable by an originating electronic device;
• a computer processor that generates and outputting from the first electronic device a first request to a designated computer server for the content related to the object of interest to be received asynchronously with respect to the first request in response to processing by a decoder of the first electronic device a decoded address on the machine-readable code or the value of the one or more characteristics of the object of interest and in response to the first request receives a second request from the designated server to identify another electronic device for processing the content;
• and
• a computer processor that sends by an out-of-band asynchronous electronic communication between the designated server and the specified other electronic device a link to the content to the device identified in the response to the second request or sends the content to the identified device or location in the response to the second request, wherein the other electronic device is configured to process the content independently and regardless of whether the originating electronic device is capable of processing the content.

A method for processing electronic documents for online marketing, comprising:

• marking an advertisement with a mobile code;
• reading by a mobile camera phone the mobile code to designate a computer server for content related to an object of interest that may be accessed and delivered electronically to a specified second electronic device;
• determining by a designated server if the mobile camera phone sends a first request for processing by the designated server and determining the content related to the object of interest to be received asynchronously with respect to the first request;
• sending by the designated server a second request to the mobile camera phone for identifying a service accessible by at least one electronic device or identifying another electronic device for receiving a link to content related to the marked advertisement or the content itself;
• and
• outputting by an out-of-band asynchronous electronic communication between the designated server and the specified other electronic device the link to the content or outputting the content itself to the identified service accessible by the at least one electronic device in the response to the second request or to the device identified in the response to the second request, wherein the other electronic device is configured to process the content independently and regardless of whether the mobile camera phone is capable of processing the content.
