Abstract

A body-wearable bar code symbol driven system for accessing information resources from information servers connected to communication networks, including the Internet. The body-wearable system includes a hand-mounted bar code symbol reader for reading bar code symbols encoded with information representative of information resources stored in information servers connected to the Internet and supporting the TCP/IP standard. A computing platform, worn on the body of the operator, is provided for supporting an Internet browser. A telecommunication modem is operably connected to the computing platform in order to establish a two-way telecommunication link between the Internet browser and an Internet service provider (ISP) connected to the Internet. In response to reading bar code symbols, the Internet browser automatically accesses information resources from Internet information servers using the information encoded in bar code symbols read by the bar code symbol reader. A display panel is provided for visually displaying information resources accessed from the Internet information servers by the bar code symbol driven Internet browser.
