Abstract

Abstract Information representative of scanned machine-readable codes is transmitted between network sites. Information associated with scans of machine-readable codes are received at a first site and stored within a database, along with a unique alpha-numeric identifier. The end user is directed from the first site to a second site with a URL that includes a symbol identifying an address of the second site on the network and the unique alpha-numeric identifier. A request (which includes a representation of the unique alpha-numeric identifier) for the information stored at the first site is received. The information stored at the first site is sent to the second site.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 166 words
A method for transmitting information representative of scanned machine-readable codes between network sites, comprising: a) receiving, at a first site, information associated with one or more scans of machine-readable codes made by an end-user; b) storing, at a database associated with the first site, the information associated with one or more scans of machine-readable codes in a data record having a unique alpha-numeric identifier associated therewith; c) directing the end-user from the first site to a second site with a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) that includes both a symbol identifying an address of the second site on the network and the unique alpha-numeric identifier associated with the information stored at the first site; d) receiving, at the first site, a request signal from the second site for the information stored at the first site, wherein the request signal includes a representation of the unique alpha-numeric identifier; and e) sending the stored information from the first site to the second site in response to the request signal.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 166 words
A method for transmitting information representative of scanned machine-readable codes between network sites, comprising: a) receiving, at a first site, information associated with one or more scans of machine-readable codes made by an end-user; b) storing, at a database associated with the first site, the information associated with one or more scans of machine-readable codes in a data record having a unique alpha-numeric identifier associated therewith; c) directing the end-user from the first site to a second site with a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) that includes both a symbol identifying an address of the second site on the network and the unique alpha-numeric identifier associated with the information stored at the first site; d) receiving, at the first site, a request signal from the second site for the information stored at the first site, wherein the request signal includes a representation of the unique alpha-numeric identifier; and e) sending the stored information from the first site to the second site in response to the request signal.
Claim 3
Independent Claim 170 words
A system for transmitting information representative of scanned machine-readable codes between network sites, comprising: a first site at which information associated with one or more scans of machine-readable codes made by an end-user is received; a database associated with the first site that stores the information associated with one or more scans of machine-readable codes in a data record having a unique alpha-numeric identifier associated therewith; a second site to which the end user is directed, from the first site, with a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) that includes both a symbol identifying an address of the second site on the network and the unique alpha-numeric identifier associated with the information stored at the first site; wherein a request signal is received at the first site from the second site for the information stored at the first site, wherein the request signal includes a representation of the unique alpha-numeric identifier; and wherein the stored information is sent from the first site to the second site in response to the request signal.
Claim 4
Independent Claim 170 words
A system for transmitting information representative of scanned machine-readable codes between network sites, comprising: a first site at which information associated with one or more scans of machine-readable codes made by an end-user is received; a database associated with the first site that stores the information associated with one or more scans of machine-readable codes in a data record having a unique alpha-numeric identifier associated therewith; a second site to which the end user is directed, from the first site, with a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) that includes both a symbol identifying an address of the second site on the network and the unique alpha-numeric identifier associated with the information stored at the first site; wherein a request signal is received at the first site from the second site for the information stored at the first site, wherein the request signal includes a representation of the unique alpha-numeric identifier; and wherein the stored information is sent from the first site to the second site in response to the request signal.
