## Abstract

Systems, apparatuses and methods for associating flexible Internet based information with physical objects is described. An example system includes a database server configured to generate a tag responsive to receiving a request from a requesting device. The tag is encoded with a uniform resource locator. The database server is further configured to associate a tag type of a plurality of tag types with the tag. The tag type indicates an intended use of the tag. The system further includes a memory configured to store data corresponding to the tag. The data may include the uniform resource locator and the tag type.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processing unit cause the processing unit to:
receive a registration request to register a tag from a registration device;
receive authentication information from the registration device;
responsive to the received authentication information matching authentication information associated with the tag, grant access to the registration device to modify an Internet site associated with the tag;
receive tag data from the registration device; and
make the tag data available at the Internet site associated with the tag.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1, further comprising computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processing unit cause the processing unit to:
generate the Internet site associated with the tag according to tag type.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 2, wherein the tag data available at the Internet site associated with the tag is arranged on the Internet site according to the tag type.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 2, wherein the tag type is a medical information tag type.

### Claim 5 (depends on 2)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 2, wherein the tag type is a pet tag type.

### Claim 6 (depends on 2)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 2, wherein the tag type is a property tag type.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1, further comprising computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processing unit cause the processing unit to:
store the authentication information in a tag database.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1, wherein the authentication information includes an identification number.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1, wherein the authentication information includes an activation code.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1, wherein the activation code is hidden to prevent use prior to purchase of the tag.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1, wherein the tag data includes any of a video content, audio content, a software program, a file, or any combination thereof.

### Claim 12

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processing unit causes the processing unit to:
receive a request to access tag data associated with a tag affixed to a physical object;
request authentication information associated with the tag;
receive the requested authentication information; and
responsive to the received authentication information matching authentication information associated with the tag, grant access to modify tag data arranged on an Internet site associated with the tag.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 12, wherein the tag data available at the Internet site associated with the tag is arranged on the Internet site according to a tag type.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13, wherein the tag type is a medical information tag type.

### Claim 15 (depends on 13)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13, wherein the tag type is a pet tag type.

### Claim 16 (depends on 13)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13, wherein the tag type is a property tag type.

### Claim 17 (depends on 12)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 12, wherein the authentication information includes an identification number.

### Claim 18 (depends on 12)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 12, wherein the authentication information includes an activation code.

### Claim 19 (depends on 12)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 12, wherein the tag data includes any of a video content, audio content, a software program, a file, or any combination thereof.

### Claim 20

A tag kit comprising:
a physical object;
a tag affixed to the physical object; the tag comprising an image including a two-dimensional encoded image identifying a uniform resource locator, the uniform resource locator corresponding to an Internet site, the Internet site including data, wherein the data is arranged on the Internet site according to a tag type;
authentication information that, when provided to a server, grants access to modify the data arranged on the Internet site.

### Claim 21 (depends on 20)

The tag kit of claim 20, wherein the tag is a medical information smart tag for providing medical information corresponding to an owner of the tag.

### Claim 22 (depends on 20)
