Abstract
A hybrid electronic barcode reader application sharing the processes between document formats of the world wide web with associated native executables or hardware from a mobile device. The two disparate platforms exchange information between the mobile device and web page and allow the web page to operate device hardware to complete the application. The focus then returns to the originating web page.
