Abstract
Systems and methods for constructing a combined tracking address and reporting tracking information using the combined tracking address are described. A code resolution response may be received from a first entity involved in resolving a mobile code. The code resolution response may include a first tracking address from the first entity and a second tracking address of a second entity involved in resolving the mobile code. The first tracking address may be combined with the second tracking address, thereby providing a combined tracking address.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- receiving a code resolution response at a first entity involved in resolving a mobile code, the code resolution response including a tracking address from a second entity involved in resolving the mobile code;
- and
- combining the tracking address with another tracking address for the first entity, thereby providing a combined tracking address, wherein the combining comprises prepending said another tracking address to the tracking address from the second entity.
The method of claiml further comprising:
- receiving a tracking report that includes the combined tracking address and data that is representative of usage of the mobile code.
A network device comprising:
- a processor configured to execute a mobile code-resolving server which is a first entity involved in resolving a mobile code;
- and
- a communication portion configured to receive a code resolution response for the first entity, the code resolution response including a tracking address from a second entity involved in resolving the mobile code,
- wherein the processor is further configured to execute the mobile code-resolving server for combining the tracking address with another tracking address for the first entity, thereby providing a combined tracking address, wherein combining is performed by prepending said another tracking address to the tracking address from the second entity.
A method comprising:
- receiving a code resolution response from a first entity involved in resolving a mobile code, the code resolution response including a first tracking address from the first entity and a second tracking address of a second entity involved in resolving the mobile code;
- and
- combining the first tracking address with the second tracking address, thereby providing a combined tracking address, wherein combining comprises prepending the first tracking address to the second tracking address.
A mobile device comprising:
- a processor configured to execute a mobile code-reading client;
- and
- a communication portion configured to receive a code resolution response from a first entity involved in resolving a mobile code, the code resolution response including a first tracking address from the first entity and a second tracking address of a second entity involved in resolving the mobile code,
- wherein the processor is further configured to execute the mobile code-reading client for combining the first tracking address with the second tracking address, thereby providing a combined tracking address, wherein combining is performed by prepending the first tracking address to the second tracking address.
