Secondary information for an information handling system matrix bar code function

A method for retrieving information stored with a two-dimensional barcode, the method comprising:

• capturing an image of the two-dimensional barcode with an information handling system, wherein the image comprises an image of a product having the two-dimensional barcode and secondary information visibly attached proximate to each other;
• analyzing the image of the two-dimensional barcode to extract barcode information stored in the two-dimensional barcode;
• analyzing the image to determine secondary information from outside of the two-dimensional barcode;
• applying the barcode information together with the secondary information to perform a function, the function comprising obtaining product information from a network location;
• communicating with the network location using a network address from the barcode information;
• and
• communicating a product number to the network location, the product number from the secondary information.

A method for retrieving information stored with a two-dimensional barcode, the method comprising:

• capturing an image of the two-dimensional barcode with an information handling system, wherein the barcode information comprises a network address and the secondary information comprises text proximate the two-dimensional barcode;
• analyzing the image of the two-dimensional barcode to extract barcode information stored in the two-dimensional barcode;
• analyzing the image to determine secondary information from outside of the two-dimensional barcode;
• and
• applying the barcode information together with the secondary information to perform a function;
• wherein applying the barcode information together with the secondary information to perform a function further comprises inputting at least part of the text to the network address for authorization to access information.

An information handling system comprising:

• a processor configured to process instructions;
• memory interfaced with the processor and configured to store the instructions;
• a camera interfaced with the processor and memory, the camera configured to capture an image and store the image in the memory;
• a two-dimensional barcode analyzer stored in the memory and configured to analyze the image to determine barcode information of a two-dimensional barcode captured by the image;
• an image recognition analyzer stored in the memory and configured to analyze the image to determine secondary information of the image located outside of the two-dimensional barcode;
• and
• an application stored in the memory and configured to apply the barcode information and the secondary information to perform a function;
• wherein the application comprises a browser operable to:
• communicate with a network location using a network address of the bar code information;
• retrieve a secondary information factor from the network location;
• and
• apply the secondary information factor to determine the location of secondary information of the image.

A method for interfacing with a network location, the method comprising:

• capturing an image of a two-dimensional barcode having a boundary;
• analyzing the two-dimensional barcode to determine a location of secondary information within the image and outside of the boundary;
• and
• analyzing the image to determine the secondary information.
