Portable computing devices optimized for displaying different content types and single action-programmed graphical user elements, and methods/systems of use thereof

Abstract

In one embodiment, the instant disclosure provides a portable computing device that includes at least: a processor; a non-transient computer media; computer instructions, and where, when the processor executes the computer instructions, the portable computing device is programmed to: transmit an electronic request to establish a user session related to an event, where the electronic request includes a user-specific event-specific identifier that is uniquely related to a user and the event; display, during the user session, an user-specific app-like graphical user interface including: a first interface area displaying a text-based content related to the user-specific event-specific identifier and the event, a second interface area displaying a live virtual event content related to the user-specific event-specific identifier and the event, a graphical user interface element that has been programmed to automatically execute a user-specific action related to the event when a user activates the graphical user interface element in a single action.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A computing device comprising:
 at least one processor;   a non-transient computer media, storing computer instructions; and
 wherein, when the at least one processor executes the computer instructions, the computing device is programmed to:
 capture a machine readable code; 
 extract a universal resource locator (URL) from the machine readable code; and 
 retrieve, from the URL, at least one agenda. 
 
   
     
     
         2 . The portable computing device of  claim 1 , wherein the machine-readable code is programmed to make an application call to authenticate a user before. 
     
     
         3 . The portable computing device of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the computer instructions comprise at least one first computer instruction that is stored in the non-transient computer media of the portable computing device prior to the user session is established; and   wherein, when the at least one processor executes the at least one first computer instruction, the portable computing device is programmed to transmit the machine readable code.   
     
     
         4 . The portable computing device of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the computer instructions comprise at least one second computer instruction that is stored in the non-transient computer media of the portable computing device after the user session is established; and   wherein, when the at least one processor executes the at least one second computer instruction, the portable computing device is programmed to display the agenda.   
     
     
         5 . The portable computing device of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a camera;   wherein the computer instructions comprise reader instructions;   wherein, when the at least one processor executes the reader instructions, the portable computing device is programmed to capture the machine readable code.   
     
     
         6 . The portable computing device of  claim 5 , wherein the machine readable code is a Quick Response (QR) Code. 
     
     
         7 . The portable computing device of  claim 1 , wherein the agenda comprises at least one voting item that is related to the user-specific voting event-specific control number. 
     
     
         8 . The portable computing device of  claim 7 , wherein the at least one voting item is a voting questionnaire for the voting event. 
     
     
         9 . The portable computing device of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the agenda comprises an annual meeting agenda item of a live virtual event; and   wherein the live virtual event comprises a live virtual annual shareholder meeting of a publicly traded company.   
     
     
         10 . The portable computing device of  claim 9 , wherein the live virtual event comprises a real time virtual meeting of a publicly traded company. 
     
     
         11 . The portable computing device of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the agenda comprises a voting confirmation data that is automatically updated with a combination of voting decisions made by a user through at least one graphical user interface.   
     
     
         12 . The portable computing device of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the agenda comprises a voting confirmation data that is automatically updated with a combination of voting decisions made by a user through at least one graphical user interface and a telephone voting interface.   
     
     
         13 . The portable computing device of  claim 1 , wherein the portable computing device is a mobile phone.
