Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for establishing an interaction session between a visual interface on any of a wide range of devices (e.g., POS, ATM, computer, television, or other visual display) and a smartphone having a camera by using the smartphone camera to scan or capture a special image (e.g., a QR code) presented on the visual interface. The special image serves as a token mark that can graphically encode information about the visual interface and the operator or owner of the device presenting the visual interface. Upon scanning the token mark, an application on the smartphone may establish a connection between the application and a server in communication with the visual interface. The application may then present some of actions provided by the visual interface on the smartphone display so that the user can select actions using the smartphone with the selected actions being performed on the visual interface.
