The disadvantage of this analogue is also the dependence of mobile device users on the capabilities of the mobile devices they use to scan QR codes.

The closest in technical essence is the QR SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROFILE CARD USING QR CODE [KR 20200020472 (A), 02.26.2020], which discloses a system and method for managing a profile card using a QR code. The method includes the following steps: creating a profile card; entering user information; assigning a custom QR code. The QR code allows you to transmit a signal for exchanging multiple profile cards to the server to receive information from other users. The system includes: a server for storing and managing user information; a user terminal that stores and manages a profile card. The profile card includes: a QR code that allows you to transmit a signal for exchanging multiple profile cards to the server to receive information from other users; and information about the user, including name, membership, job title, profile picture, and links the user wishes to share.

The present invention can provide a profile card that can be conveniently managed by a user.

The main technical problems of the prototype are that there is a dependence of mobile device users on the capabilities of the mobile devices they use to scan QR codes in the absence of the possibility of operational targeted profile management by the information provider to the system. Considering that using only a QR code can be complicated by many technical problems, such as the lack of the necessary type of device to receive the QR code, the lack of the necessary software to read the QR code, lighting or a non-optimal reading angle, preventing the QR code from being scanned and etc.

The purpose of the invention of the model is to eliminate the shortcomings of the prototype.

The technical result of the invention is to ensure the possibility of guaranteed reading of information in the event of damage to the QR code.

The specified technical result is achieved due to the fact that the method of bringing target information to the user using a hybrid QR code with a short number, characterized in that in order to bring target information to consumers about the product provided by the supplier, the minimum necessary information provided by the product supplier is entered into the database , intended for public posting and bringing it to the consumer through a QR code, which is additionally assigned a short number, based on the information provided by the supplier, the time and location of bringing the information to consumers, they generate targeted information about the product and additional information about the supplier, which is conveyed to the interested to the consumer, and if it is difficult to read the QR code, the consumer, by using a short number, sends a request to the service of the provider providing the QR code with a short number and receives minimal information about the supplier and his product, the supplier, seeing interest in information about him, transmits an invitation to further action to the consumer, and subsequently targeted information, while the volume of information communicated to the consumer is independently regulated by the provider from the provider’s personal account.

In particular, if the QR code with a short number does not match the information provided by the supplier, as well as the location where the hybrid QR code with a short number is used does not match, the provider provides the supplier with access to archived information about the chronology of the use of the hybrid QR code with a short number by its previous suppliers.

In particular, when hybrid QR codes with the same short number intersect, providing access to information about products from different suppliers, the consumer selects the supplier with the product of interest.

The figure shows a block diagram of the implementation of a method for obtaining target information, which indicates: 1 - provision segment, 2 - supplier segment, 3 - consumer segment, 4 - sub-segment of registration and authorization of the supplier, 5 - sub-segment of agreeing on the parameters of a hybrid QR code with a short number, 6 - subsegment of the formation of a public information minimum, 7 - subsegment of payment and activation, creation of a hybrid QR code with a short number, 8 - subsegment of placement of a hybrid QR code with a short number in the locations of its planned public use, 9 - subsegment of the formation of a target production and/or commercial information, 10 - subsegment of managing the supplier from his personal account with an active hybrid QR code with a short number and its functions, 11 - subsegment of linking a hybrid QR code with a short number with target production and/or commercial information, if necessary, 12 - subsegment of familiarization with consumers through a hybrid QR code with a short number, 13 - subsegment of sending a QR request to the system, 14 - subsegment of transmission of targeted production and/or commercial information through a hybrid QR code with a short number, 15 - subsegment of transmission of minimum information and archived information if the number is deactivated or active with a new provider.

Carrying out the invention

The method of obtaining targeted information or initiating actions on mobile devices using a hybrid QR code with a short number is intended to expand the possibilities for using QR codes, depending on the ability of mobile devices to recognize them, while simultaneously expanding the ability to exchange data between providers/consumers.

The method includes a support segment 1, a supplier segment 2 and a consumer segment 3. The support segment 1 contains servers, technical means of communication for receiving and transmitting data, software for processing, identifying and storing information.

Provider segment 2 and consumer segment 3 contain mobile devices for receiving and transmitting supplier and consumer data.

In provisioning segment 1, a registration and authorization subsegment of supplier 4 is formed, to which a request is sent from supplier segment 2. Data from this registration subsegment and authorization of supplier 4 is transmitted to the subsegment for agreeing on parameters of a hybrid QR code with short number 5. From the subsegment of agreeing on parameters of a hybrid QR code -code with short number 5, as well as from the subsegment of the public information minimum 6, generated in the supplier segment 2, the data is transmitted to the subsegment of payment, activation and creation of a hybrid QR code with short number 7, generating a short number, for example, 1234 and/or in the form of a link to an electronic resource, for example ICQR.RU/1234, and a corresponding hybrid QR code with a short number. Next, the data is transmitted to the subsegment for placing a hybrid QR code with a short number 8, which determines the locations of its planned public use in the options for the public information minimum. At the same time, in the subsegment of generating target production and/or commercial information 9 about the product, which is part of the supplier segment 2, additional data about the supplier is located, which, from the management subsegment 10 of support segment 1, is managed by the supplier from his personal account using an active hybrid QR- code with a short number and controls its functions, and, if necessary, links the hybrid QR code with a short number with the target production and/or commercial information 11 located in the supplier segment 2.

In addition, in consumer segment 3, a consumer awareness subsegment has been formed through a hybrid QR code with short number 12, through which consumers receive offers to exchange data with other suppliers. The request generated in the subsegment of generating and sending a QR request to system 13 is transmitted to the provisioning segment 1, in which the contacting consumer is identified using a hybrid QR code with a short number and sent to the supplier management subsegment from his personal account using an active hybrid QR code. code with a short number and its functions 10. According to this request, the supplier, using the subsegment of transmission of target production and/or commercial information through a hybrid QR code with a short number 14, located in the consumer segment 3, transmits an invitation to action and/or target to the requesting consumer production and/or commercial information. If the number is deactivated or active with a new provider, the provider uses the information minimum and historical information transfer sub-segment 15 to transmit the public information minimum, historical information through access to the history of the use of the hybrid QR code with a short number by its previous suppliers.

The invention is used as follows.

It is proposed to consider the implementation of this method using an example. Example

An enterprise producing spare parts for cars must provide information about the range of spare parts produced (hereinafter referred to as the Supplier). To do this, according to the method described above, the Supplier contacts supply segment 1 and, thus, becomes part of the supplier segment 2. The main purpose of this appeal is to bring target information to consumer segment 3, where, as part of this segment 3, a potential consumer may be located products manufactured by the Supplier, for example, an auto repair shop (hereinafter referred to as the Consumer). At the request of the Supplier, in provisioning segment 1, the provider registers and authorizes him in the registration and authorization subsegment of user 4, agreeing on the parameters of his hybrid QR code with short number 5, using data from the subsegment of the public information minimum 6, generated by the Supplier. In other words, in the supplier segment 2, the category of a hybrid QR code with a short number, its type, localization, duration and cost of use, as well as a public information minimum about the target information provider are formed for the Supplier. In the sub-segment of payment, activation and creation of a hybrid QR code with a short number 7, the provider registers and activates a short number, for example, 1234, in the form of an Internet link, for example ICQR.RU/1234, and its corresponding QR code.

Next, the Supplier, using the hybrid QR code placement sub-segment with a short number 8, places the hybrid QR code with a short number in the locations of its planned public use in various options.

After this, the Supplier, as part of the supplier segment 2, manages data about himself from his personal account with an active hybrid QR code with a short number and an information minimum of 10, target information 9 published behind him, and, if necessary, associates hybrid QR codes with short numbers with target production and/or commercial information 11 located in supplier segment 2.

At the same time, in consumer segment 3, a subsegment has been formed for setting up interaction between consumers through a hybrid QR code with a short number 12, through which consumers, in our case, the Customer, see a hybrid QR code with a short number placed on a physical storage medium and perceive it visually , or by ear. Thus, Consumers from consumer segment 3 get acquainted with data about the Supplier. Considering that using only a QR code can be complicated by many technical problems, such as the lack of the necessary type of device to receive the QR code, the lack of the necessary software to read the QR code, lighting or a non-optimal reading angle, preventing the QR code from being scanned and etc., it is necessary to provide additional ways to access information. This problem is solved by introducing a short number.

For this example, it might look like this: The consumer, who is part of consumer segment 3, discovers a hybrid QR code with a short number of the Supplier, which produces the necessary parts and belongs to supplier segment 2. Then, using the home page of the ICQR.RU website, which is a specialized web interface for entering a hybrid QR code with a short number on his smartphone or through the ICQR mobile application, short message service (CMC) on his smartphone or telephone, telephone call and tone dialing, the consumer sends to the service of the provider providing the QR code, QR request 13, to the provisioning segment 1, via the Internet, telematic / telephone communication channels. If a hybrid QR code with a short number is active in the current period of time, the Consumer receives a minimum of information, an invitation to action, targeted production and/or commercial information, or a QR preview of it through the target production and/or commercial information transmission subsegment 14. If the number deactivated or active with a new subscriber, in which the target information does not correspond to the place of application of the hybrid QR code with a short number, then the Consumer, through the subsegment of the transfer of minimum information and archived information 15, has the opportunity to obtain archived information through access to the chronology of use of the hybrid QR code code with a short number by its previous suppliers (in a special section) or become its new owner. In the case when the geofences of the same active hybrid QR code with a short number intentionally overlap, the consumer can make the right (for him) choice from several options for target information and actions from different Suppliers, using the minimum information.

It should be noted that suppliers can simultaneously be consumers, and consumers can be data suppliers of provisioning segment 1. Accordingly, the same subscribers of provisioning system 1 can form both supplier segment 2 and consumer segment 3.

The intended technical result of using the invention is to ensure the possibility of guaranteed reading of information in case of damage to the QR code, expanding the possibilities for using QR codes, depending on the capabilities of mobile devices to recognize them, while simultaneously expanding the possibilities for data exchange between suppliers and consumers - is the creation of an exchange system data, the operation of which is not complicated by the technical capabilities of communication means between suppliers and consumers, while suppliers and consumers of this system have guaranteed, if communication is available, authorized access, which allows:

- carry out prompt exchange of information both between suppliers and consumers of the system, and between suppliers/consumers and the system;

- use time- and geo-dependent QR codes with short numbers or QR codes similar to short telephone numbers, without restrictions on number capacity and method of use;

- block access of unauthorized information to the system;

- system users have the opportunity to quickly correct their own data through their personal account;

- receive data on the localization of system users.
