Abstract

Systems and methods for performing task by entering a simple code. Combination of a unique marker and a simple code is arranged to represent a task, such as logging on a website or making a phone call. Marker info is arranged to be acquired automatically or through verbal input. Distinctive marker info may include location, time, image, object, entity, or combination. A simple code may include a one-digit, two-digit, or three-digit number. A user only needs to key in a simple code to execute a task.

Claims (38)

1 . A method performed for representing a task for public use, comprising:

1) defining first info including said task, marker info, and a code;

2) said marker info arranged to be collected electronically using a predetermined method, said marker info defined by at least one of a plurality of factors, said plurality of factors including a geographic location, a geographic region, an object, an entity, an image, and a time period;

3) said code arranged to be submitted by a user, said code including at least one element, said at least one element including a numeric number, a letter, a character, or a sign;

4) said marker info and said code arranged respectively;

5) arranging the combination of said marker info and said code to represent said task; and

6) presenting said first info except said marker info publicly.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , further including determining at least one method for said user to submit said code.

3 . The method according to claim 1 wherein said task is arranged to be initiated by said user using said code.

4 . The method according to claim 1 wherein the info of said object or entity is associated with a machine-detectable signal.

5 . The method according to claim 1 wherein the info of said object or entity is associated with verbal message of said user.

6 . The method according to claim 1 wherein said code is associated with verbal input of said user.

7 . The method according to claim 1 wherein said marker info is arranged to be collected by a device in an automatic manner.

8 . A method performed for handling a plurality of tasks respectively, comprising:

1) arranging a data structure comprising a plurality of markers, a plurality of codes, and said plurality of tasks, said data structure arranged using a first device;

2) said plurality of markers each defined by at least one of a plurality of factors, said plurality of factors including a geographic location, a geographic region, an object, an entity, an image, and a time period;

3) said plurality of codes each including at least one element, said at least one element including a numeric number, a letter, a character, or a sign;

4) obtaining one of said plurality of markers, the info of marker acquisition method, and one of said plurality of codes from a second device or a second device and a facility;

5) retrieving one of said plurality of tasks based on the info received from the obtaining step; and

6) sending part of said one of said plurality of tasks to said second device.

9 . The method according to claim 8 wherein said plurality of markers each are arranged distinctive.

10 . The method according to claim 8 wherein each of said plurality of tasks is represented by one of said plurality of markers and one of said plurality of codes.

11 . The method according to claim 8 wherein said one of said plurality of codes is submitted by manual input or verbal input of a user.

12 . The method according to claim 8 , further including causing said second device to perform part of said one of said plurality of tasks.

13 . The method according to claim 8 , further including causing a third device which is away from said first and second device to perform part of said one of said plurality of tasks.

14 . The method according to claim 8 wherein the info of said object or entity is obtained from a machine-detectable signal or verbal input of a user.

15 . A method performed for executing a task, comprising:

1) acquiring marker info via a device or a service system;

2) said marker info defined by at least one of a plurality of factors, said plurality of factors including a geographic location, a geographic region, an object, an entity, an image, and a time period;

3) obtaining a code comprising at least one element via said device from a user, said at least one element including a numeric number, a letter, a character, or a sign;

4) transmitting said marker info, the method used in said acquiring step, and said code to a facility;

5) receiving a message from said facility, said message related to said task; and

6) performing said task using said device according to instructions from said message.

16 . The method according to claim 15 wherein said marker info and/or said code is obtained via verbal input of said user.

17 . The method according to claim 15 , further including causing a first system which is away from said device and said facility to perform part of said task.

18 . The method according to claim 15 wherein only the info of said task and said code is presented publicly.

19 . The method according to claim 15 wherein said code contains no more than three single-digit numbers plus a letter, a character, or a sign.

20 . The method according to claim 15 wherein said code contains no more than three single-digit numbers.
