Abstract

Approaches for processing a machine-readable link are described. The machine-readable link is readable by a computing system to obtain access to digital content using a communication network.

First claim

We claim:

1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions executable by a processing resource to:
detect whether at least one application for resolving any machine-readable link is in an active state of execution on a computing system;
suspend the active state of execution of the at least, one application on determining the computing system to be in motion, wherein the motion is brought about by a user moving the computing system to a machine-readable link;
determine deceleration in the motion of the computing system; and
on determining the deceleration to be less than a predefined threshold, reactivate the execution of the at least one application.

2. The computer-readable medium as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the machine-readable link is one of a barcode, a digital watermark, a Quick Response (QR) code and an optically readable image.

3. The computer-readable medium as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the instructions are to further maintain the execution of the at least one application in the active state after reactivating for a predefined interval of time.

4. The computer-readable medium as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the instructions are to further maintain the execution of the at least one application in the active state after reactivating until an acceleration of the motion of the computing system does not exceed a predefined value.

5. The computer-readable medium as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the deceleration is determined along multiple orthogonal axes.

6. A method comprising:
detecting whether at least one application for resolving any machine-readable link is in an active state of execution on a computing system;
suspending the active state of execution of the at least one application on determining the computing system to be in motion, wherein the motion is brought about by a user moving the computing system to a machine-readable link;
determining deceleration in the motion of the computing system; and
on determining the deceleration to be less than a predefined threshold, reactivating the execution of the at least one application.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the machine-readable link is one of a barcode, a digital watermark, a Quick Response (QR) code and an optically readable image.

8. The method of claim 6 , further comprising maintaining the execution of the at least one application in the active state after reactivating for a predefined interval of time.

9. The method of claim 6 , further comprising maintaining the execution of the at least one application in the active state after reactivating until an acceleration of the motion of the computing system does not exceed a predefined value.

10. The method of claim 6 , wherein the deceleration is determined along multiple orthogonal axes.
