Automatically establishing data communications connection involves associating connection information with code read from data medium, passing to processor, processor dialing address

摘要

The method involves reading a code stored on a portable storage medium, electronically associating connection information with the code by evaluating stored electronic association data, whereby the connection information contains the address data, transmitting the connection information to the processor and the processor dialing the address for data communications. The method involves the processor (4) accessing the memory device for data communications after electronically dialing an associated electronic address. A code stored on a portable storage medium (2) is read (1), connection information is electronically associated with the code by evaluating stored electronic association data, whereby the connection information contains the address data, the connection information is transmitted to the processor and the processor dials the address for data communications.
