Abstract

A computer-implemented method of information presentation on multiple devices is provided. The method may include presenting a first barcode on a webpage. The first barcode may be encoded with first data based on a uniform resource locator of the webpage. The method may also include generating second data based on a user interaction with the webpage and altering a configuration of the webpage based on the user interaction without leaving the webpage. The method may also include generating a second barcode encoded with the first data and the second data. The method may further include presenting the second barcode on the webpage with the altered configuration.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, at a computing device, an image representing a webpage, the image presented within an altered configuration of the webpage displayed by a different computing device;
responsive to receiving the image representing the webpage, obtaining data describing the altered configuration of the webpage; and
outputting for display by the computing device the altered configuration of the webpage, the altered configuration of the webpage displayed by the computing device matching the altered configuration of the webpage displayed by the different computing device.

2. The method as described in claim 1 , wherein the image is a two-dimensional machine-readable optical label displayed within the webpage by the different computing device.

3. The method as described in claim 1 , wherein the image is a QR code displayed within the webpage by the different computing device.

4. The method as described in claim 1 , wherein the image representing the web page is received from a camera that captures the image representing the webpage displayed by the different computing device.

5. The method as described in claim 1 , wherein the obtaining further comprises decoding, by the computing device, the image representing the webpage to obtain the data describing the altered configuration of the webpage.

6. The method as described in claim 1 , wherein the data describing the altered configuration of the webpage includes first data comprising a uniform resource locator of the webpage and second data comprising user interactions with the webpage.

7. The method as described in claim 6 , further comprising:
requesting, by the computing device, the webpage using the uniform resource locator; and
altering, by the computing device, the configuration of the webpage based on the second data.

8. The computer-implemented method as described in claim 1 , wherein the image is received from a camera of the computing device that captures the image.

9. One or more computer-readable storage media comprising instructions stored thereon that, responsive to execution on a computing device, perform operations comprising:
receiving, from an imaging device, an image representing a webpage, the image presented within an altered configuration of the webpage displayed by a different computing device;
obtaining data describing the altered configuration of the webpage; and
outputting for display by the computing device the altered configuration of the webpage, the altered configuration of the webpage displayed by the computing device matching the altered configuration of the webpage displayed by the different computing device.

10. One or more computer-readable storage media of claim 9 , wherein the image is a two-dimensional machine-readable optical label displayed within the webpage by the different computing device.

11. One or more computer-readable storage media of claim 10 , wherein the image is a QR code displayed within the webpage by the different computing device.

12. One or more computer-readable storage media of claim 9 , wherein imaging device comprises a camera that captures the image representing the webpage displayed by the different computing device.

13. One or more computer-readable storage media of claim 9 , wherein the obtaining further comprises decoding, by the computing device, the image representing the webpage to obtain the data describing the altered configuration of the webpage.

14. One or more computer-readable storage media of claim 9 , wherein the data describing the altered configuration of the webpage includes first data comprising a uniform resource locator of the webpage and second data comprising user interactions with the webpage.

15. One or more computer-readable storage media of claim 14 , further comprising:
requesting, by the computing device, the webpage using the uniform resource locator; and
altering, by the computing device, the configuration of the webpage based on the second data.

16. The one or more computer-readable storage media as described in claim 9 , wherein the image is received from a camera of the computing device that captures the image.

17. A computer-implemented comprising:
receiving, by a native application of a computing device, an image of at least a portion of an altered configuration of a webpage displayed by a web browser of a different computing device;
based on the image, obtaining application data describing information presented by the altered configuration of the webpage; and
displaying, by the computing device, the information presented by the altered configuration of the webpage in a user interface of the native application.

18. The computer-implemented method of claim 17 , wherein the native application comprises a non-web browser application.

19. The computer-implemented method as described in claim 17 , wherein the information presented by the altered configuration of the webpage matches information displayed by the web browser of the different computing device.

20. The computer-implemented method as described in claim 17 , wherein the native application receives the image from a camera of the computing device that captures the image.
