A method comprising:
- capturing an image with a user device;
- automatically generating, by the user device, an optically machine readable code comprising a unique identifier;
- and
- associating the optically machine readable code and the image;
- wherein the unique identifier comprises a pointer to web based content automatically generated by a server based on information associated with the image.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs that causes a processor based system to execute steps comprising:
- capturing an image with a user device;
- automatically generating, by the user device, an optically machine readable code comprising a unique identifier;
- and
- associating the optically machine readable code and the image;
- wherein the unique identifier comprises a pointer to web based content automatically generated by a server based on information associated with the image.
An apparatus comprising:
- an image capture device configured to capture an image;
- a processor configured to automatically generate an optically machine readable code comprising a unique identifier, and associate the optically machine readable code and the image;
- and
- a non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store the image and the optically machine readable code;
- wherein the unique identifier comprises a pointer to web based content automatically generated by a server based on information associated with the image.
