Abstract

A content distribution system which utilizes a generated code to distribute related content to a user device. The content distribution system generally includes a user device and a central server which are communicatively interconnected via a communication network. The central server generates a code comprising at least one element in a particular visual arrangement. The generated code is related to content which may be stored on the central server, or may be stored on a content server to which the user device may connect. The user device will transmit a code to the central server. The central server identifies the code as relating to the content and either transmits the content directly to the user device, directs the user device to connect to the content server to retrieve the content, or directs the content server to transmit the content to the user device.
