In general, when a user wants to browse a specific website through a mobile device, he/she must input a network address (URL) to obtain the information provided by the network address, and to reduce the error rate input by the user. Inconvenience, it has been suggested that a two-dimensional bar code (such as a QR code) can be used to describe the network address, thereby improving the efficiency of linking websites and viewing information, and as a medium for sharing specific links, which can also be used to open the installation. App of the mobile device to perform a specific function provided by a server, such as the Republic of China Invention Patent No. TW201619881 "Information Processing System, Information Processing System Method and Non-Transient Computer Readable Recording Media", Chinese Invention Patent CN102663601B "method of using barcode image to provide service, mobile terminal and device" is disclosed; however, the server must follow the encoding format defined by the two-dimensional barcode, and the existing two-dimensional barcode can only be embedded in the map. Elements such as display, background, color, etc., for users who are less visually identifiable (especially those who are not good at mobile phone operation, patients, people with disabilities, or children), it is still difficult to quickly identify the 2D barcode. The corresponding website or service, and can not efficiently decide which 2D barcode to scan to link to the corresponding website or function; so, how to propose a security, save time and quickly simplify the user The operational processes and technical means to improve the efficiency of linking to specific functions/services are yet to be resolved.

In view of the above problems, this creation provides a system for providing predefined functions by using encrypted images, which simplifies user processes and improves the efficiency of linking to specific functions/services, meaning that a digital information totem is embedded by capturing An encrypted image can integrate the mobile device (user end) with the management server (server) and perform the execution of the corresponding predefined functions.

To achieve the above objective, the system of the present invention can be used by a mobile device to capture an encrypted image (which can be retrieved from the digital totem by a decoding process). The system includes: a management server having a verification module and a transmission module; the verification module is configured to perform a verification process on the digital information totem, and obtain an additional information from the data structure stored in the digital information totem when the verification program passes, and compare the information associated with the additional information. Trigger event After the information, the verification module drives the transmission module to send a function execution instruction associated with the trigger event information to the mobile device, so that the mobile device can perform a predefined function after the function execution instruction is executed.
