PERFORMING SOCIAL NETWORKING FUNCTIONS USING MATRIX CODES

摘要

A matrix code reader may detect a matrix code, which may be displayed along with content and include information identifying the content. The matrix code reader may obtain user information associated with a social networking service and, based at least on the content information and the user information, may transmit an instruction to the social networking service to perform a social networking service function. The matrix code reader may obtain the user information and/or the instruction to perform the social networking service function from information included in the matrix code, from a non-transitory storage medium of the matrix code reader, from a user, and so on. In some implementations, the matrix code reader may determine that additional information or a confirmation to transmit the instructions is needed and may prompt a user for the additional information or confirmation.

1. A method for performing social networking service functions utilizing matrix codes, the method comprising:
detecting, by a matrix code reader, a matrix code included in an instance of content output by a content receiver, wherein the matrix code includes identifying information and a network address of a social network service; obtaining, by the matrix code reader, user information associated with the social network service; and transmitting at least one instruction to perform at least one social network service function, by the matrix code reader, to the social network service based at least on the identifying information and the network address.
