Abstract

A method for establishing a connection between a user (302) and a remote location (312) on a computer network (306) is provided, including multiple embodiments. A web browser may be opened and launched in response to an audible signal (111) received at the user location. The web browser automatically retrieves and displays information associated with the received audio signal from a remote site. A bar code (1606) which has no embedded routing information may be scanned to extract bar code information (1802). The bar code information is then utilized to obtain routing information (2102) which directs a user to the remote location. A web browser may be launched by a non-browser input which is correlated to simulate a predetermined browser input. The web browser automatically retrieves and displays information from the remote site. A unique code which has no embedded routing information may be received at the user location. Network routing information is then associated with the unique information and utilized to direct a user to the remote location. An existing machine-readable code on a product may be scanned to extract a product code embedded therein which includes no routing information. The code is then associated with routing information to direct a user to the remote location. A product code having product information is disposed in close association with the subject product. The product information is then extracted from the code and network routing information is associated with the product information. A tool (1600) having a unique ID (1804) is utilized in conjunction with a user computer. In response to utilizing the tool, the user is connected to a remote location associated with the unique ID of the tool.
