AN APPARATUS FOR READING AN ELECTRONIC NETWORK NAVIGATION DEVICE AND A PERIPHERAL FOR USE THEREWITH

摘要

An apparatus (170) for reading data from a network navigation device (10), which includes a data reader (174) and a transmitter (176). The data reader (174) reads machine-readable data (16), including a navigation instruction associated with a resource in an electronic network (20), from the network navigation device (10). The transmitter (176) transmits a first signal associated with tehe machine-readable data (16) to a peripheral (172) of a network access apparatus (22). The peripheral (172) includes a receiver (190) which receives the first signal, and a processor (192) operatively associated with the receiver (190) to direct at least one instruction to at least one of the network access apparatus (22) and the electronic network (20).
