Enhanced information delivery facility

1. A computer implemented method for providing information during a life cycle of a user's engagement with a product or service, comprising:

receiving a request for first information pertaining to the product or service, wherein the request is triggered when a wireless device processes a computer readable artifact after the user has acquired the product or service;

retrieving the first information in response to the request, wherein the first information is retrieved without regard for the life cycle of the product or service and constitutes a step by step graphical instructional file;

providing the first information to the wireless device;

tracking, by the wireless device, the progress of the user through the step-by-step graphical instructional file;

initiating, by the wireless device, a communication session with a remote device associated with a customer support representative; and

ascertaining, by the wireless device, the current status of the user's efforts through the step-by-by step graphical instructional file enabling the customer support representative to determine the progress through the step-by-step graphical instructional file during the communication session;

retrieving supplemental information pertaining to the product or service, wherein the supplemental information retrieved varies depending on a current state of the life cycle; and

providing the supplemental information to the wireless device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the artifact is one of a Quick Response (QR) code, a barcode, a Universal Product Code (UPC), and an artifact generated through audio recognition.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the product is acquired, and wherein the artifact is co-located with the product.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining the current state of the life cycle based on a length of time since the product or service was acquired by the user.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the supplemental information includes information on at least one of warranty registration, disassembly, replacement, repair, problem solving, and upgrading.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the supplemental information includes promotional information pertaining to an after-market product or service related to the acquired product or service.

providing the wireless device with access to the records through a web application.

10. A system for providing information during a life cycle of a user's engagement with a product or service, comprising:

a wireless device configured to, in response to processing a computer readable artifact after the user has acquired the product or service, transmit a request for first information pertaining to the product or service; and

a first processor of a system computer, wherein the first processor is configured to:

retrieve the first information in response to the request, wherein the first information is retrieved without regard for the life cycle of the product or service and constitutes a step by step graphical instructional file;

transmit the first information to the wireless device;

tracking, by the wireless device, the progress of the user through the step-by-step graphical instructional file;

initiating, by the wireless device, a communication session with a remote processor device associated with a customer support representative; and

transmitting, by the wireless device, a data transmission including a plurality of information on the progress through the step-by-by step graphical instructional file to the remote processor device enabling the customer support representative to determine the progress through the step-by-step graphical instructional file during the communication session; and

retrieve, by the system computer, supplemental information pertaining to the product or service, wherein the supplemental information retrieved varies depending on a current state of the life cycle; and

provide the supplemental information to the wireless device.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the artifact is one of a Quick Response (QR) code, a barcode, a Universal Product Code (UPC), and an artifact generated through audio recognition.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the product is acquired, and wherein the artifact is co-located with the product.

13. The system of claim 10 , wherein the processor is configured to determine the current state of the life cycle based on a length of time since the product or service was acquired by the user.

14. The system of claim 10 , wherein the supplemental information includes information on at least one of warranty registration, disassembly, replacement, repair, problem solving, and upgrading.

15. The system of claim 10 , wherein the supplemental information includes promotional information pertaining to an after-market product or service related to the acquired product or service.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the processor is configured to handle a request to purchase the after-market product or service by electronically forwarding the purchase request to a server of a retailer or manufacturer.
