In one exemplary embodiment, the method includes receiving, by a user device, media associated with at least one identifier. The identifier includes at least one identifier segment associated with at least one channel identifier. The method further includes causing the at least one identifier to be decoded, and sending a request including the at least one identifier to a resolution provider. In addition, the method include receiving information from the resolution provider, where the information is associated with the at least one identifier. Additionally, the method includes identifying, by the user device, at least one application operating on the user device that is authorized to receive the information associated with the at least one identifier, based on at least one of the content of the identifier or the channel identifier, and delivering the information to the at least one application that is identified.
