Abstract
A process links computers through a service. A user mechanically reads coded information, such as information from a bar code. Each bar code provides information unique to a service subscriber with fewer than or equal to 36 characters being read. The equal to or fewer than 36 characters can activate a distal address to access information relating to that specific subscriber, the service connecting the user to that address; and provide a compilation of information on the subscriber to the user upon execution of software reading the fewer than or equal to 36 characters.
Claims18
A process for linking computers through a service by a user reading information from a bar code, each bar code providing information unique to a service subscriber with equal to or fewer than 36 characters being read, wherein the equal to or fewer than 36 characters can:
- a) activate a distal address to access information relating to that specific subscriber, the service connecting the user to that address;
- and
- b) provide a compilation of information on the subscriber to the user upon execution of software reading the equal to or fewer than 36 characters.
A process for linking computers through a service by a user reading information from a bar code with fewer than or equal to 36 characters and storing the information on a user computer, each bar code providing information uniquely identifying a service subscriber, wherein the fewer than or equal to 36 characters can:
- activate a distal address to access information relating to that specific subscriber.
A computer having stored in memory therein a software program that can convert data from a scanned bar code with equal to or fewer than 36 characters into a service subscriber specific including a web address and then the program can communicatively connect the computer to that web address.
