Hand-held WWW access device with GUI-based www browser program integrated with bar code symbol reader for automatically accessing and displaying HTML-encoded documents by reading bar code symbols
A portable hand-held WWW access terminal for accessing HTML encoded documents located on the WWW. The terminal includes a bar code symbol reader in a hand-supportable housing for reading bar code symbols encoded with information, such as URLs, for use in accessing HTML-encoded documents stored in information servers connected to the Internet and supporting the TCP/IP standard. A computing platform is provided for supporting a GUI-based WWW browser program integrated with the bar code symbol reader, in the hand-supportable housing. A telecommunication modem is operably connected to the computing platform in order to establish a two-way telecommunication link between the GUI-based WWW browser and an Internet service provider (ISP) connected to the Internet. In response to reading a URL-encoded bar code symbol, the WWW browser program automatically accesses a corresponding HTML-encoded document on the Internet, for display on a visual display panel integrated with the hand-supportable housing. A keypad is also integrated with the hand-supportable housing for manually providing information to the WWW browser program.
