Abstract
A zulu number, discerned from a QR code, is received from a client. A database is accessed to retrieve enhanced information associated with the zulu number and store information from the client. The enhanced information is sent to the client for display or execution.
Claims12
A method for object identification and enhancement, comprising:
- assigning a zulu number to uniquely identify an event or an object;
- embedding the zulu number into a machine readable format;
- receiving media from a plurality of users present at a time of the event from different locations, or users present at a location of the object at different times, the media being uploaded for storage in association with the zulu number;
- aggregating the media in a database in association with the zulu number;
- subsequently receiving the zulu number, discerned from a client automatically reading the zulu number
- accessing a database to retrieve at least a portion of the media associated with the zulu number;
- and
- sending the media to the client for display or for action on the media, as specified by the media or the client.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform a method for object identification and enhancement, comprising:
- assigning a zulu number to uniquely identify an event or an object;
- embedding the zulu number into a machine readable format;
- receiving media from a plurality of users present at a time of the event from different locations, or users present at a location of the object at different times, the media being uploaded for storage in association with the zulu number;
- aggregating the media in a database in association with the zulu number;
- subsequently receiving the zulu number, discerned from a client automatically reading the zulu number
- accessing a database to retrieve at least a portion of the media associated with the zulu number;
- and
- sending the media to the client for display or for action on the media, as specified by the media or the client.
5 more elements
A system for object identification and enhancement, comprising:
- a zulu server to assign a zulu number to uniquely identify an event or an object and embed the zulu number into a machine readable format, the zulu server to receive media from a plurality of users present at a time of the event from different locations, or users present at a location of the object at different times, the media being uploaded for storage in association with the zulu number and to aggregate the media in a database in association with the zulu number;
- and
- a client to automatically read the zulu number and send the zulu number to the zulu server,
- wherein the zulu server accesses a database to retrieve at least a portion of the media associated with the zulu number and sends the media to the client,
- wherein the client displays or takes action on the media, as specified by the media or the client.
