Abstract: A personalized content system enables a user with a communications device to convert and/or passively receive pre-selected content from multiple resources. A communications device has hardware and software to provide input and transmission to convert content from any form of media. The converted content is created by retrieving a digital copy of a digital record associated with it, and processing the digital copy for at least a web-based personalized application. Conversion is based on input of a code such as a telephone number, server program address, and a set of and/or range of characters. The transmission is communicated to at least one server that recognizes the code, the originating telephone number associated with the communications device, the device identifier associated with the communications device, and combinations thereof. The server retrieves a digital record and processes content and outputs based on user input, a user and/or program profile, and combinations thereof.

Abstract: Providing information to a user includes: associating a code with content that is available to multiple users; storing data that associates information with the code; receiving the code from a user input received over a communications channel from a communications device; determining an identifier associated with the communications device from which the code was received; and providing the information associated with the code for access on at least a portion of a web site provided based on an association between the user and the determined identifier.
