    Abstract: The present invention is a system and method for providing automated access to computer files stored in a database in either a local (32) or remote (46) server location. The system utilizes a machine-readable symbol (12) printed on a document (10). The machine-readable symbol (12) is printed and distributed by the vendor to the user. The user then scans the symbol via code scanning equipment (34) connected to a computer, decodes the raw decoded data, and the file location information is then used to retrieve the appropriate file. In a preferred embodiment, a URL of a file on the vendor's web site is encoded in the machine-readable symbol, thus enabling the client computer to access files through the Internet. The use of encryption allows the user to transmit his credit card number, thus enabling electronic commerce in a secure manner over the Internet.

    Abstract translation: 本发明是用于提供对存储在本地(32)或远程(46)服务器位置中的数据库中的计算机文件的自动访问的系统和方法。 系统利用印在文件(10)上的机读符号(12)。 机器可读符号(12)由供应商打印并分发给用户。 然后,用户通过连接到计算机的代码扫描设备(34)扫描符号,解码原始解码的数据,然后使用文件位置信息来检索适当的文件。 在优选实施例中,供应商网站上的文件的URL被编码在机器可读符号中,从而使得客户端计算机能够通过因特网访问文件。 加密的使用允许用户传输他的信用卡号码,从而能够通过互联网以安全的方式实现电子商务。
