Abstract
A computer can comprise a housing, a microprocessor disposed within the housing, a display, and a communication interface communicatively coupled to the microprocessor. The computer can be configured, responsive to locating decodable indicia within content viewable on the display, to decode the decodable indicia to produce at least one decoded message. The computer can be further configured to display the content with decoded message data being embedded into the content. The decoded message data can be provided by at least one decoded message, data derived from the decoded message.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving, with a computer comprising a display, a byte stream of content viewable on the display, the byte stream comprising both multimedia content and a decodable indicia;
- locating, with the computer, the decodable indicia in the byte stream;
- attempting to decode, with the computer, the decodable indicia to produce a decoded message;
- and
- displaying, with the display, the content with decoded message data embedded into the content, wherein the decoded message data comprises the decoded message, data derived from the decoded message, and/or a flag indicating whether the attempt to decode the decodable indicia was successful.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, with a computer comprising a graphical user interface comprising a display, a byte stream of content viewable on the display, the byte stream comprising both multimedia content and a decodable indicia;
- attempting, with the computer, to locate the decodable indicia in the byte stream;
- attempting, with the computer, to decode the decodable indicia to produce a decoded message;
- generating, with the computer, a decoding operation result;
- generating, with the computer, a decoding operation completion code;
- display, with the display, the content with decoded message data embedded into the content, wherein the decoded message data comprises the decoded message and/or data derived from the decoded message.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, with one or more server computers, a decoding request from a client computer, wherein the decoding request comprises a part of content viewable on a display from a byte stream comprising a decodable indicia located by the client computer;
- in response to receiving the decoding request, authenticating, with the one or more servers, the client computer;
- in response to authenticating the client computer, executing a decoding operation to decode the decodable indicia into a decoded message;
- and
- in response to completing a decoding operation, transmit the decoded message and/or a decoding operation completion code to the client computer;
- wherein the client computer is configured to display the content with decoded message data embedded into the content, wherein the decoded message data is the decoded message and/or data derived from the decoded message.
