Read the Rothschild patent link I sent you. It covers using a mobile device to manually type in a UPC number to perform a product search & price comparison.

The UPC can be entered into the computer through manual input numerically, or, alternatively, entered digitally through the use of software and a hand-held scanner adapted to read UPC barcode encryptions.


Furthermore, NeoMedia has never been shy about expressing what their patents do in fact cover.
