Cellular phone for illuminating invisible information in an object to obtain additional information located at a web server

1. A cellular phone configured to be used by an operator, said cellular phone comprising:

a light-emitting element configured to emit light of a specific wavelength to illuminate invisible information written in invisible ink in an object to make the invisible information visible, said invisible information comprising a Universal Resource Locator (URL) of an address of a web server at which additional information is located, said URL being encoded in a code within the invisible information;

a digital camera for taking a picture of the illuminated invisible information to capture an image of the code; and

a memory for storing the captured image.

2. The cellular phone of claim 1 , wherein the code within the invisible information is a two-dimensional bar code.

3. The cellular phone of claim 1 , wherein the light-emitting element of the cellular phone is a light emitting diode (LED).

4. The cellular phone of claim 1 , wherein the URL is configured to be decoded by decoding the code in the stored image to identify the URL and downloading the additional information from the web server to a display of the cellular phone, said downloading being performed by an accessing function of the cellular phone to access the website through transmission of the decoded URL to a base station that couples the cellular phone to the web site via the Internet.

5. The cellular phone of claim 1 , further comprising:

an antenna configured to receive an incoming radio wave transmitted from a base station;

a radio section configured to modulate the received radio wave into an electric signal;

a speaker configured to speak a voice sound derived from the electric signal;

a microphone configured to capture a voice sound from the operator for subsequent transmission to the base station.

6. The cellular phone of claim 5 , further comprising:

a display configured to show the information to the operator, wherein the antenna is further configured to send a radio wave to a base station, and wherein the radio section is further configured to demodulate the electronic signal; and

a memory for storing the captured image in the memory of the cellular phone.

7. The cellular phone of claim 1 , wherein the object is a book, wherein the additional information is associated with an article in the book, wherein the cellular phone is configured to perform a method for obtaining the additional information, and wherein the method comprises

said light-emitting element emitting the light of the specific wavelength to illuminate the invisible information written in the book in the invisible ink;

taking the picture, by the digital camera, of the illuminated invisible information to capture the image of the code;

storing the captured image in the memory of the cellular phone;

decoding the code in the stored image to identify the URL of the address of the web server; and

downloading the additional information from the identified URL to a display of the cellular phone.

8. The cellular phone of claim 7 , wherein the decoding is performed by a processing function of the cellular phone.

9. The cellular phone of claim 7 , wherein the downloading is performed by an accessing function of the cellular phone to access the website through transmission of the decoded URL to a base station that couples the cellular phone to the web site via the Internet.

10. The cellular phone of claim 7 , wherein the code within the invisible information is a two-dimensional bar code.

11. The cellular phone of claim 7 , wherein the light-emitting element of the cellular phone is a light emitting diode (LED).
