Gaming and interactive application

摘要

The present invention enables the translation of data from barcodes to be utilized for the purpose of interacting with a game or other application after being read by the mobile device camera (optical barcode reading). The user can use their camera equipped device to read a barcode which contains some data that enables them to interact with their application or game. This input method speeds up game play and application use as compared to the traditional method of manual key entry of the data. The user can launch their application and then use the included ability to read a barcode with their camera on the mobile device being used. The decoded data is then used by the system to perform the appropriate tasks that can be pre-determined to be triggered by that code. This method of interactivity with the application enhances the user experience and enables them to have a synchronous method of play and usage of the application or game.
