Abstract:
The present invention provides a system where collateral information stored in an image (or in some other data) is used together with other information such as information from a cookie on the machine used to access the collateral data, to direct a user to a particular web site. The site to which a user is directed is selected based both upon the collateral information in a web site, information from the computer that was used to read the collateral data, and information from a data base. The result is that user is directed to a web site that is more appropriate for the user at that particular time.
