Media objects are transformed into active, connected objects via identifiers embedded into them or their containers. In the context of a user's playback experience, a decoding process extracts the identifier from a media object and possibly additional context information and forwards it to a server.
Media objects are transformed into active, connected objects via identifiers embedded into them or their containers. In the context of a user's playback experience, a decoding process extracts the identifier from a media object and possibly additional context information and forwards it to a server. The server, in turn, maps the identifier to an action, such as returning metadata, re-directing the request to one or more other servers, requesting information from another server to identify the media object, etc. The linking process applies to broadcast objects as well as objects transmitted over networks in streaming and compressed file formats.

We claim: 1. A method of linking an image to a network resource, said method comprising: receiving an image from a handheld device; computing attributes of the image used to identify the image, wherein said computing attributes comprises deriving an identifier of the image from the image itself; using computed attributes of the image to identify the image or metadata associated with the image in a network resource; retrieving metadata associated with the identified image in the network resource; and providing the metadata to the handheld device. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the metadata comprises metadata selected from a group of metadata comprising: audio, video, an image and a URL. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the metadata comprises at least one action. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the metadata comprises purchasing information. 5. A method of linking an image to a network resource, said method comprising: computing, on a handheld device, attributes of an image used to identify the image; providing, from the handheld device, computed attributes of the image to a network resource, wherein the network resource uses the computed attributes of the image to identify the image or metadata associated with the image; receiving, at the handheld device, metadata associated with the identified image in the network resource. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein the metadata comprises at least one action. 7. The method of claim 5, wherein the metadata comprises authentication information. 8. The method of claim 5, wherein said computing attributes comprises deriving an identifier of the image from the image itself. 9. A method of linking media to a network resource, said method comprising: computing, on a handheld device, attributes of media used to identify the media; providing, from the handheld device, computed attributes of the media to a network resource, wherein the network resource uses the computed attributes of the media to identify the media or metadata associated with the media; receiving, at the handheld device, metadata associated with the identified media in the network resource. 10. The method of claim 9 wherein the metadata comprises metadata selected from a group of metadata comprising: audio. 11. The method of claim 9 wherein the metadata comprises at least one action. 12. The method of claim 9 wherein the metadata comprises authentication information. 13. The method of claim 9 wherein said computing, on a handheld device, attributes comprises deriving an identifier from the media itself. 14. The method of claim 13 wherein the identifier serves as a statistically unique identifier of the media. 15. The method of claim 9 wherein the media comprises at least audio, video or imagery.
