Method and system for triggering an online interaction in connection with a physical product
Abstract:
A computer-readable medium is attached to a physical product and triggers an online interaction when communicatively coupled with a computing device having a display to establishes an online connection whereby services or information pertaining to the physical product can be provided to a user of the product. The computer readable medium can be coupled to the computing device alternatively through a Universal Standard Bus (USB), Near Field Communication (NFC), or Matrix Barcode (e.g., QR code) coupling techniques, for example. The established connection uniquely identifies the product to which the medium is attached and calls an Internet service with that identifying information. The Internet service in turn queries a database where each medium was registered prior to product distribution and extracts a dynamic destination where the computing device should connect to. This destination is returned to the displaying computing device and a variety of follow-on actions can ensue.
