An additional tidbit (excerpt) from the patent link Scania provided supports 100% of my mantra of, "any machine readable input:"

"TECHNICAL FIELD

This invention relates to messaging systems that enable a user to read a machine-readable code and retrieve a networked resource associated with that code (such as an optical messaging system that scans a barcode), and in particular to a messaging interchange system that enables interoperability of disparate messaging systems.

BACKGROUND ART

Various companies are in the process of developing and deploying systems designed to allow end users to perform operations via client devices (also called access points) such as mobile phones, triggered by reading machine-readable codes such as linear (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) barcodes. For the purposes of this specification, such systems are referred to generally as messaging systems (and in the case of barcode scanning as Optical Messaging Systems (OMS)). Some examples of the operations that might be triggered by a machine-readable code include, but are not limited to:

Launching a web browser to a particular URL
Dialing a telephone number
Sending an SMS
Displaying a coupon
