Abstract
A method and system of creating interaction input based on displayed content comprises displaying content on a display device, the content comprising a machine readable resource locator. The resource locator is uniquely generated for a single use. The displayed content is captured with a distinct device to the display device. The machine readable resource locator is extracted from the captured displayed content. Content is accessed from the location of the resource locator. Further interaction with the content is enabled on a one to one or an individualised basis.
Claims25
A method of creating interaction input based on displayed content comprising:
- displaying content on a display device, the content comprising a machine readable resource locator, the resource locator being uniquely generated for a single use, wherein the resource locator is a website URL comprising a base URL and a URL parameter, wherein the URL parameter is unique to the single use of that resource locator;
- capturing the displayed content with a distinct device to the display device;
- extracting the machine readable resource locator from the captured displayed content;
- accessing content from the location of the resource locator, which content enables further interaction with the content on a one to one or an individualised basis.
A system for providing interaction input based on displayed content comprising:
- a content source for providing content to be displayed;
- wherein the content source is configured to create the content comprising a machine readable resource locator, the resource locator being uniquely generated for a single use, wherein the resource locator is a website URL comprising a base URL and a URL parameter, wherein the URL parameter is unique to the single use of that resource locator;
- a display device for displaying the content provided from the content source;
- a distinct device to the display device for extracting the machine readable resource locator from the displayed content;
- wherein the distinct device is configured to access content from the location of the resource locator, which content enables further interaction with the content on a one to one or an individualised basis.
A connection server for providing a connection to content able to be interacted with on an individualized basis, the content being for display on a one to many view basis, said connection server comprising:
- a first input for receiving a first location of a resource accessible by another device;
- a displayed content generator for generating a first signal for controlling a display device to display a first image, wherein the first image is created so as to comprise a machine readable resource locator, the resource locator being uniquely generated for a single use and being usable to direct the other device to the first location of the resource;
- an output of the signal to a display device for displaying the image;
- a second input for receiving a message indicating that the resource at the first location has been accessed;
- wherein the first input receives another location of a resource accessible by yet another device when the first location has been accessed by the other device;
- wherein the displayed content generator generates a second signal for controlling the display device to display a second image, wherein the second image is created so as to comprise a machine readable resource locator that is uniquely generated for a single use and being usable to direct the yet other device to the second location of the resource.
A method of providing content able to be interacted with on an individualized basis, the content being for display on a one to many view basis, said method comprising:
- receiving a first location of a resource accessible by another device;
- generating a first signal for controlling a display device to display a first image, wherein the first image is created so as to comprise a machine readable resource locator, the resource locator being uniquely generated for a single use and being usable to direct the other device to the first location of the resource;
- outputting of the signal to a display device for displaying the image;
- receiving a message indicating that the resource at the first location has been accessed;
- receiving another location of a resource accessible by yet another device when the first location has been accessed by the other device;
- generating a second signal for controlling the display device to display a second image, wherein the second image is created so as to comprise a machine readable resource locator that is uniquely generated for a single use and being usable to direct the yet other device to the second location of the resource;
- outputting of the second signal to the display device.
A content server for providing content able to be interacted with on an individualized basis, the content being for display on a one to many view basis, said content server comprising:
- a storage device for storing content or a receiver for receiving content;
- a unique code generator for generating unique single use codes;
- a transmitter of each unique single use code;
- a receiver of requests for service of content, each request comprising one of the unique single use codes;
- a serving system for serving the content when requested;
- wherein the serving system individualizes the content served based on each received unique single use code;
- wherein the transmitter is configured to transmit another unique single use code when one of the unique single use codes is received,
- wherein each unique single use code is a resource locator being a website URL comprising a base URL and a URL parameter, wherein the URL parameter is unique to the single use of that resource locator.
A method of providing content able to be interacted with on an individualized basis, the content being for display on a one to many view basis, said content server comprising:
- storing or receiving content;
- generating unique single use codes;
- transmitting the unique single use codes;
- receiving requests for service of content, each request comprising one of the unique single use codes;
- serving the content when requested so that the content is individualized based on each received unique single use code;
- wherein a subsequent one of each unique single use code is transmitted when one of the unique single use codes is received,
- wherein each unique single use code is a resource locator being a website URL comprising a base URL and a URL parameter, wherein the URL parameter is unique to the single use of that resource locator.
