  • a URL address is a complex string of characters that includes punctuation marks and separators.
  • a URL can sometimes be quite long when compared to conventional codes used with computers, such as document paths.
  • the character string that is a URL is designed to interact with computer software programs that are meant to act as navigation aids for users attempting to locate or "travel" to a desired destination on the Internet. These software programs are typically known as browsers.
  • a standard URL contains language symbolized by the various characters in the string, and must be interpreted by the browser in order to take the user to the site. This information includes type of protocol, document path, host computer identification, and other information as may be needed, to identify subject matter, company name, or type of product or service.
  • a user will manually type a URL into a field in a display provided by the navigating software.
  • the address URL is submitted to the browser, activating the communication mode.
  • the host computer responds, data is downloaded and a Web page is displayed on the user's screen.
  • the user is expected to know the URL before he can submit it. This can be a problem as navigation software cannot interpret a URL that has been entered incorrectly. Also, some URL's are very long and complicated, as described previously, making it even more difficult for most users to enter the URL error free.

  • a data collection device 9 which is in this embodiment a bar code reader, is used to scan the bar code, and the URL is read into the computer attached to the bar code reader.
  • Optical Recognition as it applies to bar coding, is a standard method used in many industries, such as retail, shipping, and warehousing. It has proven to be highly successful and virtually error free.
  • the bar code reader reads the bar code, which is a coded URL, and stores the URL on the connected computer associated with a Web browser program. Most such programs incorporate lists of URLs known in the art as bookmarks. Bookmarks are typically displayed as literal names rather than as URLs, and a user may select a bookmark by pointer and cursor techniques well known in the art, wherein the browser application relates the literal name to the associated URL, and broadcasts the URL.
  • scanning a bar-coded URL enters the scanned URL into the browser's Bookmarks data base.
  • a code system is created for the purpose of expressing URLs 13 in numerical form, allowing for a shorter span of bars and spaces compromising each printed code.
  • a software step shown in Fig. 2 could be added to convert the URL 13 back to it's original character-string form, allowing the browser to utilize the information.
  • individual URLs 13 are registered at a separate site (server) on the
  • URLs are associated with numeric code, as suggested above.
  • URLs entered as numeric code are broadcast to an Internet server, which compares the numeric code with a database, and returns the URL character string. URLs may be decoded and read by the browser and downloaded to computer 15, or utilized for further navigation. Companies who provide OR products and services routinely customize bar codes to adapt to specific field requirements.
  • Fig. 2 is an illustration of software architecture as is used in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, wherein source document 7, containing URL 13, is scanned using data collection device

  • a desired URL can then be selected and a decision made to go to that destination in step 31.
  • the navigating software will then automatically connect the user to the Internet and display the Web page associated with the URL in step 33. Additional URLs can be accessed at any time from the bookmark file or the cache and submitted in step 31 resulting in a new Web pages in step 33. This process is achieved in a preferred embodiment of the present invention such that no typing on the keyboard is required.
  • Fig. 3 is an illustration of an embodiment of the present invention wherein source document 7 contains URL 13 printed in magnetic ink, to be read by data collection device 9 using the technology of MICR.
  • data collection device 9 is shaped like a pen and is equipped with a magnetic reader at the head.
  • the data collection device might be shaped differently so long as the magnetic reader can make sufficient contact with the printed surface.
  • the method of communication between data collection device 9 and computer 15 is of a wireless form such as Infrared, or Microwave.
  • the term wireless as is used in an embodiment of the present invention, is defined by the capability of the system to transmit digital information from one point to another without the use of cable 1 1.
  • the methodology of the present invention is the same in scope and purpose, that is, to scan URL 13 and transmit information directly to computer 15 without copying, typing, or performing other steps which could introduce human error.
  • URL 13 is both machine and human readable. In the event of system breakdown, human input could be used. Also, magnetic ink printers are now commercially available, and magnetic ink, toner, and other accessories are more readily available than they were in the past. This could allow advertisers a smaller capital investment in printing costs than might be the case with newer technologies.
  • FIG. 3 Another advantage illustrated in Fig. 3 is the wireless mode of communication used to transmit scanned information to computer 15.
  • Wireless communication could be utilized when working in a network environment where this form of communication is standard. This form of communication could also be used in an embodiment where the presence of a cable might be inconvenient.
  • the software used in conjunction with various embodiments of the present invention may be slightly modified to interface with each case where different technologies are used, however, the scope and purpose of the software would remain the same as described in Fig. 2. For example; an embodiment described with reference to Fig. 3 would not require the URL conversion process described in step 19 of Fig. 2, however, the remaining software would function as intended.
  • Fig. 4 is an illustration of an embodiment of the present invention wherein source document 7 is a television advertisement, and data collection device 9 is an interactive tool, much like a joy stick available with interactive computer games. Circuitry may be incorporated into the television set which allows the URL 13 to be recognized by a remote receiver in data collection device 9. The information is then transmitted to computer 15 via cable 1 1.. As more companies progress from local advertising in print media to national advertising in television media, URL's 13 will be incorporated into television commercials, programs, and infomercials. The likelihood of human error involved in copying and transporting URL 13 from a television is even greater than it is from print. URL 13 is displayed on the television screen only temporarily, making it difficult to remember and write down.

Abstract

Cette invention se rapporte à un procédé permettant de recueillir des adresses URL (13) pour des utilisateurs potentiels de ces adresses URL (13). Selon ledit procédé, les adresses URL sont présentées sous forme de code exploitable par ordinateur sur des supports visibles, tels que des publicités de journaux (7) et magazines et de présentations télévisées. Un lecteur, du type lecteur optique de code à barres (9), relié à un ordinateur (15) doté d'une application d'exploration du Web, sert à l'acquisition des adresses URL (13), et les adresses URL acquises (13) sont transmises à l'application d'exploration du Web de l'ordinateur (15). Dans certains cas, l'adresse URL (13) est stockée en vue d'une utilisation ultérieure, et dans certains autres cas cette adresse URL (13) est utilisée immédiatement par l'ordinateur (15) pour se connecter au serveur Internet qui stocke la page Web associée à l'adresse URL (13), et pour télécharger et afficher la page Web. Les adresses URL (13) peuvent être des codes numériques associés à des adresses URL (13) dans une table accessible sur un serveur de l'Internet, des codes à barres imprimés ou affichés de manière quelconque, de l'encre magnétique, et d'autres sortes de codes exploitables par ordinateur.
