Abstract

A method for interfacing scanned product information with the manufacturer of the product over a global communication network (306). Subsequent to scanning product bar code information (102), a proprietary wedge interface (104) adds additional information in the format of keystroke data. The wedge (104) comprises firmware which adds additional keystrokes to open a web browser window for insertion of the URL/bar code data string, and to send the data. The information is then transmitted to an advertiser reference server (308) which contains a database (310) of products and their associated advertiser URLs. The advertiser reference server (308) returns the URL of the product file located on an advertiser's information server (312) to the source computer (302). The source computer (302) then retrieves the product information from the advertiser's server (312) for processing.

Description of the Invention (1) Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates generally to a method for controlling a computer, and more particularly to a modification related to a manufacturer's product A method of scanning barcode data for input to a computer and transmitting it to a manufacturer's location via a global communication network to complete a link therebetween. Contrast of related applications: This application is a pending US patent application 0 9/151 '5 3 0 " METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A COMPUTER WITH AN AUDIO SIGNAL " (Internal P case number PHLY-24, 3 9 8) The application was filed at the same time as the case. Background of the Invention: Due to the emergence of a global information network commonly referred to as the 'Internet', more and more marketing locations have been deployed on the network in order to take advantage of the interaction provided by the Internet Connectedness. These marketing locations allow users to connect to a variety of products by connecting to a `` website '' of that particular marketing location that actually constitutes a 'virtual shopping mall'. In order to provide this kind of connection, users need to open a `` browser application '' on their computer. The browser application allows the user to connect to various locations on the network. Each location on the network is defined according to the general resource location (U η 1 (〇rm Res 〇urce L 〇cat 〇r; ^ RL)), so the user only needs to enter the URL into a web browser Device > Lang can complete the private scale of the associated position.

Invention Description (2) . A user usually enters a domain " name and sends the domain name to the network for conversion to the URL of the owner of the domain name. The use of domain names makes the network easier to use because every location on the network can now have an easily recognizable address. The type of information provided to a user from a particular marketing location can be an interactive transaction, which allows the person to select products, determine prices, and even order products. Some of these marketing locations provide access to many products. However, other marketing positions only provide access to all products of a single company. The main problem with Jingtian Internet marketing products or providing information via the Internet is that the user is notified of location information in some way and connected to the user via an associated URL or domain name Specific location. Currently, the user needs to enter the domain name or URL into a browser window, and then instruct the browser to find the location on the network. There are several disadvantages to this approach. First, users need more or less information related to a specific company or one of the company's products, so that people who are willing to look for more information in this regard = second, the product's "page" for a specific company ; There must be some kind of link between them to make it easy for users to come to the page from the product and retrieve more information about the product.

In a scanning mode, the scanner (100) scans the barcode data (102) to a `` wedge '' interface ((Please read the precautions on the back before filling (This page) 1 --------- Order --------- The standard of this paper is * National Standard (CNS) A4 Specification (2) 0 × 297 mm) • 10-Warp- Ministry of Mind «Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Property Bureau 45 9183 a: __B7 V. Invention Description (8) 1 0 4) in order to convert it into keyboard data, which is entered into the PC through the wedge interface (104) 8) The keyboard input port = wedge-shaped interface (104) is just an interface box containing a circuit that can adapt to the input of a scanner and a computer keyboard (106). Therefore, the output of the scanner (100) passes through the wedge interface (104) for conversion or keyboard data. Because the wedge interface (104) simulates a keyboard, the PC (108) does not need a separate input for the scanner (100), but allows the scanner data to pass through the wedge interface (104) And directly enter the keyboard port of the PC (108). When no scanner data is received, the wedge-shaped interface (104) is only a passing device for keyboard data. Finally, the information is displayed to the viewer with a display (110). In the job, the code of a specific product is provided in the form of a bar code (102). The barcode is a '' link '' to a product. The disclosed embodiment works, and Lizhou barcodes serve as routing information on the Internet, while providing a link between the product and the product manufacturer ’s webpage, and also providing an accounting step, where the situation will be described in detail below . The barcode (1 0 2) itself is not compatible with any type of network for the purpose of communicating with the network = as long as the barcode is provided for a retail-type environment. Therefore: Suppose there are _ databases and the database contains information about the correlation between the product and the bar code, but the information contained in the bar code (102); the body does not allow other functions than product identification . First enter the information in the barcode (1 0 2) into the wedge interface (104). The wedge interface (104) can be operated. The barcode (1 0 2) is decoded: after that, the routing information Φ is appended. 〃 To the bar code = this -------ΙΓ --- II Γ * ΐ l-f n.

Description of the invention (9) The intermediate routing information is used to decide to transmit the barcode information Information on where to the network = The intermediate routing information will be routed to the network via the white-network interface (1 1 2). When the intermediate path a information is combined in the form of a bar code, and the information is defined When the position of ARS (3 0 8) on the Internet, you must pay attention to the need to convert the barcode from the light image to the number input to the keyboard. Then convert to the TML language. The reason for performing the above steps is to convert the barcode to a A format compatible with the browser in order to communicate with the browser. Of course, if you use another type of program, you must convert the barcode to a language compatible with the program. The wedge interface (104) converts the barcode After the information (1 0 2) is decoded and the intermediate routing information is appended to the barcode information, the barcode / intermediate routing information is organized into keyboard data, and then the keyboard data is routed to the PC (10 8). Reasons for performing the above steps Yu: The interface (104) just enables the bar code scanner (100) to scan the data, and the additional intermediate routing information is input to the PC (108) in the form of key data, so it essentially simulates a user's keyboard ( 1 0 6) Enter the same information. Therefore, the combination of the interface (104) and the barcode scanning stick (100) allows a user to use the encoded information in the barcode (1 0 2) to combine the data '' Type 〃 PC (1 0 8). Of course, the user can actually type the information on the bar code (1 0 2) and then append the appropriate intermediate routing information to the associated bar code information = as will be explained below, all The attached intermediate routing information is the URL of the destination server on the network. Now refer to FIG. 2, which shows a microcontroller (2 0 0), which controls the keyboard (1 0 6) and barcode scanning stick (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) (CNSM4 specification (2) 0 X 297 mm) -12-Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 45 91 8 3 A7 __B7_ Instructions (1〇) (100) and PC (108) interface connection = microcontroller (2 0 0) contains a memory (2 0 2), can also be equipped with the crotch memory. Bar code A plurality of interfaces (204) of the scanning rod (100), a plurality of interfaces (206) of the PC (108), and a plurality of interfaces (208) of the keyboard (106). Generally speaking, a barcode scanning stick (100) requires a series of data lines, a ground line, and a power line. Similarly, the keyboard (106) needs a series of data lines, a ground line, a clock line, and a power line. PC (108) provides a clock line, a power line, a serial data line, and a ground line to the input terminal of the microcontroller C2 0 0). The microcontroller (2 0 0) is operable to receive signals from the keyboard (1 0 6) and transmit these signals to PC [10 8] as keyboard signals. The operation of the sharp keyboard (106) is essentially a `` pass '' program. The data output from the keyboard is already in the keyboard format, so there is no need to perform the conversion operation through the wedge interface [104]. As for the barcode scanning stick (100), since the serial data is not compatible with the keyboard (106), the serial data must be converted into a keyboard format so that the serial data can be input to the PC (108) Keyboard input. The microcontroller (200) performs the above functions after decoding the barcode information. It converts the barcode information into an appropriate data stream consisting of the barcode information and an additional URL = storing the additional URL in advance The memory (2 0 2), and the additional URL can be set at the time of manufacture. Please note that the figure (200 2) is included in the memory (2 0 2), and provides a Single-chip solution. However, the memory [2 0 2] can also be an external memory accessible by the memory (2 0 2).

Description of invention (27) Standards, general household conditions, 1 demographic information, and other specific information. Any number of messages are collected in this particular functional step. Once the information is collected in the basic mode or a specific mode, the program then enters a functional step (1 4 1 2), at which time the information will be stored locally. The program then enters the decision step (1 4 1 4) to decide whether to enter the earthmoving machine online or Ars (3 0 8) s-generally, the user is prompted to decide that he wants to send the information now To the host or transfer later. If the history user selects the option later, the program will enter the function step (1 4 1 5), so that the user will be prompted to send the information later. In the disclosed embodiment, the user will not be able to use the software until the feature file information is transmitted to the host = therefore, the user may have to initiate the transmission later to connect to the host. If the user selects the option to upload the feature file information to the host, the program will enter the functional step (1 4 1 6) to start the connection process, and then enter the decision step (1 4 1 8) to decide whether to complete That connection. If this is not the case, the program will enter a timing decision step (1 4 2 0) along a '' 'No' path, and the decision step (14 2 0) will decide to enter a wrong step (1 4 2 2) Or return to the connection decision step (1 4 1 8). Once connected, the program will self-determinate the step (1 4 1 8) and enter the functional step (1 4 2 8) along a w # path in order to send the characteristic file information together with the computer or user identification code. Send to the host = As mentioned above, the identification code is basically a "cookie" in the computer, and the program can access the 'c 〇〇k 丨 e 时' when transmitting the characteristic file information to the host.

Generally speaking, all the operations of this flow chart are performed by a wizard program, which guides the user through the boot process step by step. Once completed, the program will enter a completion step (1 4 3 2). Now please refer to FIG. 15, which shows the flowchart of the operation of the host when receiving a transaction = the program starts at the beginning step (1 50 2), and then continues to the decision step (1 5 04). It is determined whether the system receives a routing request, that is, routing information in the form of a bar code or the like is stored in the routing field (904) described above with reference to FIG. The program will continue to return to the beginning of the decision step (1504) until the routing request is received. At this time, the program will enter the functional steps (1 500) along the path of `` Yes '' in order to receive the main routing information and the user identification code. In essence, in addition to the user ID, the main routing information is extracted from the fields received. The program then enters the functional step (1508) in order to query the manufacturer URL corresponding to the main routing information received, and then sends the necessary command information back to the source PC (108) so that the PC Connect to the destination associated with this primary routing information. The program then enters the functional step (1 5 1 0) to update the transaction database (1 3 1 0) for the existing transaction. Generally, the routing information and the associated identifier are stored as a single field. The aforementioned feature file database has, on the Ethernet system, an associated detailed feature file for each user who has associated his identification code to launch his software.

Description of the invention (29) Stored in the easy database is the routing code (ie, bar code) and all associated identification codes, which are associated with a specific route. These identifiers are transmitted to this system. Once the transaction database is updated, as described above, the transaction can be sent back with the detailed characteristic file information from the characteristic file database (13 0 8). Subscriber on node (3 丨 2). The feature file information can be transmitted to the subscriber or manufacturer on the node (3 1 2) in real-time mode or non-real-time mode. At this time, it is determined at the decision step (1 5 1 2) whether the transmission is immediate. If it is real-time, the program will enter the functional steps (1 5 1 4) along the path of "Yes" and the information will be immediately transmitted to the manufacturer or subscriber. The program then enters the functional step (1 5 1 6), at which time the charges for that particular manufacturer or subscriber will be updated in the charge database (1 3 1 6). The program then enters a termination step (1 5 1 8). If the transmission is not real-time, the program will enter the functional step (1520) along the path of "No", at this time, the information is set to be transmitted later, and the information will be formed in the transaction database. In either case, the transaction database will form all the information associated with a particular routing code. Under a real-time transaction, a manufacturer can place an advertisement in a magazine or put a product on the shelf at a specific time. The manufacturer can then monitor when the advertisement is viewed or when the product is purchased. Of course, you must scan these occasions with a computer with a time delay of thousands of times. However, the manufacturer can get fairly real-time information on how a product moves. For example, if a cola manufacturer wants to provide a promotional advertisement on, for example, a TV, tell consumers that a new cola is about to be marketed, and scan its information code to the Internet, the previous paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 Specifications (210 x 艿 7 公 爱) (Please read the notes before filling in this page before filling in this page) -Install --------- Order * ------- * ^ -32- 45 918 3 A7 Printed by the Consumer Property Cooperative of the Ministry of Intellectual Property Bureau B7 V.
