Abstract

A method and system for providing a primary content file to a client computer (20) that is interconnected over a computer network (16) with an information server computer (50), a routing server computer (40), a content server computer (60), and a registration server computer (30). The present invention operates by inputting into the client computer a linkage code (10) (a machine readable code such as a bar code symbol (104) or a human-readable alphanumeric text string (106)) that includes a server identification code (110) and an item identification code (112). The client computer then extracts the server identification code, and obtains from local cache (27) or from the routing server a URL template associated with the server identification code.
The URL template includes the name of an information server and at least one parameter field to be completed by the client computer. The URL template is completed by the client computer by filling in at least the item identification code, and the completed URL template is then sent to the information server named therein as a primary content URL request. At the information server, the location of the primary content file is determined based on the item identification code, and the information server provides the client computer with the primary content file by either redirecting it to the primary content server computer or obtaining it from local storage.

21. The method of claim 20 wherein the user database is populated by a user during a registration process.
22. The method of claim 12 wherein the information server uses, in addition to the item identification code, the user data in order to determine the location of the primary content file.
23. The method of claim 1 wherein the information server provides the client computer with the primary content file by redirecting the client computer to a content server computer by sending a primary URL to the client computer indicating the location of the primary content file.
24. The method of claim 1 wherein the information server provides the client computer with the primary content file by providing the primary content file from local storage.
25. The method of claim 13 wherein the information server logs the primary content URL request in a hit log.
26. The method of claim 25 wherein the information server communicates with the registration server to determine further information linked to a user identification code from the hit log.
27. The method of claim 26 wherein the user identification code is obfuscated prior to being sent to the information server.
28. The method of claim 27 wherein the obfuscated user identification code is sent to the registration server.
29. The method of claim 28 wherein the registration server de-obfuscates the user identification code.
30. A computer system configured to provide a primary content file from a content server computer to a client computer over a computer network, comprising:
a) a client computer interconnected to the computer network; and b) an information server computer interconnected to the computer network; wherein the client computer comprises:
means for inputting a linkage code comprising a server identification code and an item identification code;
means for extracting the server identification code from the linkage code;
