Abstract:
A system and method are provided for indicating an existence of a link to information pertaining to an article of commerce. The present disclosure provides for downloading a look-up table from a server database to a mobile device via a communication network. The look-up table is configured to store a plurality of UPC numbers associated with a plurality of articles of commerce and a plurality of information link indicators. Each information link indicator is associated with a respective UPC number and article of commerce and indicates the existence of a link via the communication network to information pertaining to the respective article of commerce. The mobile device allows a consumer to immediately determine if product information is available for a particular article of commerce, via a visual or audible indication on the mobile device.

Claim (Index 17):
A non-transitory computer readable medium containing instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform the steps of:\n downloading a look-up table from a server database via a communication network, wherein the look-up table is configured to store a plurality of bar codes associated with a plurality of articles of commerce, the look-up table also storing a plurality of information link indicators, each information link indicator associated with a respective bar code and article of commerce, and each information link indicator being configured as a status signal indicating the existence or absence of a link to information pertaining to a respective article of commerce, the link being made to the information via the communication network wherein downloading and storing the look-up table is performed when the mobile device is not being used for voice communication; scanning an image associated with an article of commerce using a visual input device of the mobile device; decoding the image to obtain a bar code; forwarding data from the scanned image to the signal processing device; and looking up the bar code in the look-up table to determine from a respective information link indicator whether or not information pertaining to the article of commerce associated with the bar code is accessible via the communication network, wherein looking up the bar code to determine whether or not the information is accessible is performed without accessing the communication network.
