Abstract
Examples disclosed herein relate to capturing a first machine-readable link via art image capture device, retrieving a first content element associated with the first machine-readable Sink, determining whether the first content element is related to a second content element associated with a second machine-readable link, and in response to determining that the first content element is related to the second content element associated with a second machine-readable link, retrieving the second content element.
Claims20
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
- receive scans of a first machine-readable link to a first content element and a second machine-readable link to a second content element;
- determine metadata associated with the first and second machine-readable links, wherein the metadata includes time, geo-locations, and frequency of the scans of the first and second machine-readable links;
- group the first machine-readable link with the second machine-readable link together based on a correlation between the time, geo-locations, and frequency of the scans of the first and second machine-readable links;
- and
- in response to an opening of a link-scanning application on a user device, retrieve and display, on the user device, the first content element and the second content element before the first and second machine-readable links being scanned by the user device, based on a proximity between the user device and the first machine-readable link.
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving, by a processor of a computing device, scans of a first machine-readable link to a first digital content element and a second machine-readable link to a second digital content element;
- determining, by the processor, metadata associated with the first and second machine-readable links, wherein the metadata includes time, geo-locations, and frequency of the scans of the first and second machine-readable links;
- grouping, by the processor, the first machine-readable link with the second machine-readable link together based on a correlation between the time, geo-locations, and frequency of the scans of the first and second machine-readable links;
- and
- in response to an opening of a link-scanning application on a user device, retrieving and displaying, on the user device, by the processor, both the first digital content element of the first machine-readable link and the second digital content element of the second machine-readable link before the first and second machine-readable links being scanned by the user device, based on a proximity between the user device and the first machine-readable link.
A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that when executed cause the processor to:
- receive scans of a plurality of machine-readable links to a plurality of corresponding digital content elements,
- determine metadata associated with each of the plurality of machine-readable links, wherein the metadata includes time, geo-locations, and frequency of the scans of the plurality of machine-readable links,
- group the plurality of machine-readable links together based on a correlation between the time, geo-locations, and frequency of the scans of the plurality of machine-readable links, and
- in response to an open of a link-scanning application on a user device, retrieve and display, on the user device, the plurality of digital content elements of the plurality of machine-readable links before the plurality of machine-readable links being scanned by the user device, based on a proximity between the user device and one of the plurality of machine-readable links.
