Barcode generation and implementation method and system for processing information

A method for processing encoded information contained in a machine-readable code on a mobile device associated with a person using the mobile device, the method comprising:

• storing, within at least one memory device of the mobile device, at least one machine- readable code comprising encoded information associated with at least one of (a) a first Uniform Resource Locator (URL) and (b) compressed health information;
• detecting the stored at least one machine-readable code by retrieving the stored at least one machine-readable code from the at least one memory device using at least one processor of the mobile device;
• analyzing the encoded information contained in the at least one stored machine-readable code to determine a type of content represented by the encoded information using the at least one processor, the type of content comprising at least one of (a) the first URL and (b) the compressed health information;
• processing the encoded information to determine a target software application residing on the mobile device using the at least one processor, wherein the target software application is selected based upon the determined type of content, wherein at least one processor within the mobile device processes compressed health information encoded within the stored at least one machine-readable code,
• wherein, in a condition where the encoded information includes the compressed health information, the method further comprising, generating a health related interactive user interface in response to the detected compressed health information by the at least one processor, displaying the health interactive user interface on a touch screen display of the mobile device enabling the person to interact with the compressed health information within a personal health record application, wherein the personal health record application is the determined target software application, residing on the mobile device,
• wherein, in a condition where the encoded information includes the first URL, the at least one processor generates an URL interactive user interface associated with the detected first URL, then prior to launching a web browser, displaying, the interactive user interface on the touch screen display of the mobile device;
• and
• wherein, in response to user interaction with at least one of:
• (a) the displayed first URL interactive user interface and (b) the displayed health interactive user interface, controlling an operation of the mobile device by performing a function determined by the type of content encoded within the at least one machine readable code using the at least one processor, the function comprising at least one of:
• (a) launching the web browser to navigate to the first URL contained in the encoded information, and (b) launching the personal health record application to store and manage the compressed health information,
• wherein, prior to storing the compressed health information, the compressed health information is decompressed by the at least one processor to reconstruct multi-character health information that had been compressed to fit within data capacity limitations of the stored at least one machine-readable code.
