Abstract

A system for storing, accessing and displaying HTML-encoded documents relating to an object being worked upon in a work environment by a human operator. The human operator wears a body-wearable http-enabled client system equipped with a code symbol reader programmed to read a URL-encoded symbol on the object pointing to a HTML-encoded document stored on one or more http-enabled information servers. The http-enabled client system is connected to the information network by a two-way wireless telecommunication link. The code symbol reader is programmed for reading the URL-encoded symbol affixed to the object and automatically produces symbol character data representative of the read code symbol and the URL encoded therewithin. The http-enabled client system also includes a network accessing mechanism and a display device. The network accessing mechanism is programmed for automatically accessing one or more of the HTML-encoded documents from one or more of the http-enabled information servers in response to symbol character data being produced by the code symbol reader. The display device is operably connected to the network accessing mechanism, for visually displaying HTML-encoded documents accessed from the http-enabled information servers in response to symbol character data being produced by the code symbol reader. As a result of the present invention, the human operator is enabled to freely review the HTML-encoded documents displayed on the display device while working with the object in diverse work environments involving, for example, inventory management, assembly-line and/or plant inspection, and craft or vehicle inspection and/or repair.
