Dual input content processing method and device

A computer implemented method performed by a profile code reading and processing device comprising at least a processor and at least a memory, said method comprising:

• reading an optically, magnetically, short range radio, acoustically or tactile machine readable said profile code encoded in an object local to a user, wherein said profile code defines a filter for use in the processing of content;
• creating, from said reading of said profile code, a persistent record with a predefined lifetime in a database local to said user of said filter locally to said user, wherein expiry of the predefined lifetime is set to expire at a certain fixed amount of time from said reading of said profile code;
• reading an optically, magnetically, short range radio, acoustically or tactile machine readable content code encoded in an object local to said user wherein said content code incorporates output text;
• recovering said filter for use in the processing of content from said persistent record;
• applying said filter to said output text to extract a portion of said text;
• outputting said extracted portion of said text to said user;
• at the expiry of said predefined lifetime, deleting said profile code from said database local to said user;
• and
• wherein said profile code or said content code includes a threshold time, and wherein the at least a processor is further configured to proceed to said applying said filter for use in the processing of content if said threshold time is later than said current time.

A computer program product for a profile code reading and processing device, the computer program product comprising computing instructions stored on a non-transitory computer storage medium and when the computing instructions are executed by one or more processors, configure the one or more processors to:

• read a first optically, magnetically, short range radio, acoustically or tactile machine readable said profile code encoded in an object local to a user, wherein said profile code defines a filter for use in the processing of content;
• create, from said reading of said profile code, a persistent record with a predefined lifetime in a database local to said user of said filter locally to said user, wherein expiry of the predefined lifetime is set to expire at a certain fixed amount of time from said reading of said profile code;
• read a second optically, magnetically, short range radio, acoustically or tactile machine readable content code encoded in an object local to said user wherein said content code incorporates output text;
• recover said filter from said persistent record;
• apply said filter to said output text to extract a portion of said text;
• output said extracted portion of said text to said user;
• at the expiry of said predefined lifetime, delete said profile code from said database local to said user;
• and
• wherein said profile code or said content code includes a threshold time, and wherein when the computing instructions are executed by the one or more processors, the one or more processors is further configured to proceed to said applying said filter for use in the processing of content if said threshold time is later than said current time.
