Abstract

The invention relates to a configuration data transmission and processing method, wherein a QR code is acquired and decoded, the obtained data being identified in an identification module and being transferred into a decision module, where the transmitted information are analysed. In the case of configuration data, these are input into the memory of the processor, where the settings of the mobile terminal are determined and the settings being subsequently input into the mobile terminal.

Description

  • The object of the invention is a configuration data transmission and processing method, especially one that utilises Quick Response codes (QR).
  • The Quick Response codes are alphanumeric, two-dimensional, matricial, square barcodes, invented by the Japanese Denso-Wave company in 1994. These codes are modular codes with fixed dimensions, which allow for coding the Kanji/Kana symbols, that is why they are very widespread in Japan. Additionally, they allow for coding symbols which belong to the Arabic, Greek, Hebrew or Cyrillic alphabets, as well as other symbols defined by the user. There are two variants of the codes - basic and extended, allowing for coding of up to 7089 numeric, 4296 alphanumeric, 1817 Kanji symbols or 2953 eight-bit binary data (bytes). The acceptable dimensions of the code range between 21x21 and 177x177 modules. The specification permits a combination of up to 16 codes to record a larger amount of information. The structure of the code enables it to be placed and read on items that move quickly in relation to the scanner, for example on conveyors. The QR codes may be used to record URL addresses and place them in various locations.
  • The QR codes are usually used to record various types of data on packages, products etc. With their use it is possible to transmit an e-mail, a www address or any message to visit a website, send an e-mail or a text message.
  • There are known methods of using QR codes to send links redirecting to websites with information regarding promotions, vouchers, with video and music contents or with contact data. Such uses of the QR codes are described, for example in applications US 20120085829 A1 and US 20120085828 A1 .
  • The QR code may also comprise information or a link redirecting to a specific website regarding insurance, as presented in application KR 1020120019422 A .
  • The object of application KR 1020110063406A is the use of QR codes for exchange of information comprised in electronic business cards between the users.
  • Additionally, the use of Quick Response codes as references to links redirecting to websites enabling payment via internet without the necessity of logging in or prior registration is known from applications US 20120150750 A1 and US 20120078782 A1 .
  • The use of a QR code in a restaurant ordering on system is presented in patent specification KR 101141204 B1 . The QR code comprises basic information about a table, such as location. Additionally, a link redirecting to a www server, to the website of the respective restaurant where the customer can place an order, is comprised in the QR code. In the solution under discussion the QR code is solely an information carrier with no impact on the configuration of the code reading device, for example a smartphone.
  • A solution facilitating input of I/O data into peripheral devices, for example a printer, is known from application JP2007108947 A . The QR code, placed on selected device, comprises information about that device, which means that it is solely carrier for the information identifying the device. Any information regarding the configuration relate to the device and are executed, converted by an external server. In the application the QR code does not affect the configuration of the smartphone, by means of which it is scanned and further transmitted to an external server with an e-mail message.
  • Application EP2469456 A1 discloses a method for automatic check-in based on a QR code. In this solution an application installed on a smartphone converts the information input by the user and generates it in a QR code form, which is used as the user information carrier. The input data (user information) are stored in the memory of the smartphone, it can be modified before generating the QR code, but the QR code itself does not affect the smartphone configuration. In this case the smartphone is a source and not a target of the QR code.
  • Another use of the QR code is presented in application US 2012187185 A1 , in which a detection method and system for counterfeit goods is disclosed. In the solution under discussion QR code is used as a carrier for the product data specified by the manufacturer. The QR codes, which is data, are scanned by the customer, transmitted to a the central database and verified. The QR code does not affect the configuration of the scanning device, for example a smartphone.
  • So far the use of QR codes has been limited to the use of codes as small capacity carriers, for example of information or links redirecting to respective websites.
  • The object of the invention is the use of Quick Response codes for fast, automatic, error-free transmission of configuration data for applications and system services, for example in smartphone-type mobile devices or others provided with a camera. The existing configuration methods, for example for mobile phones, require authorisation (entering of user name and password) both when inputting the data manually as well as when connecting to the Internet.
  • The configuration data transmission and processing method according to the invention is characterised in that a QR code image is acquired by means of a scanning module, subsequently being decoded by means of a decoding module, the obtained data being identified in an identification module and further transmitted into a decision module, where the transmitted information are analysed and in the case of configuration data they are input into the memory of a processor, where the settings of the mobile terminal are determined and the settings being input into the mobile terminal.
  • Preferably, after the input of the settings into the mobile terminal the mobile terminal registers are modified.
  • Preferably, after the input of the settings into the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal setting files are modified.
  • Preferably, after the input of the settings into the mobile terminal the mobile terminal files are created.
  • Also preferably, between decoding and data identification, the obtained information are decrypted by means of a decryption module.
  • The object of the invention is shown in an embodiment in fig.1 which is a block diagram of the individual steps of a configuration data transmission and processing method.
  • A configuration data transmission and processing method includes acquiring 1 of the QR code by means of a scanning module - a camera the phone is provided with, which means placing the QR code in the field of view of the phone and waiting until the QR code is identified. The next step is decoding 2 of the QR code in the decoding module and identification 3 of the obtained data in an identification module. Subsequently the transmitted information are transferred into the decision module, where data analysis 4 takes place and in the case of confirmation that they are configuration data, the data are input 5 into the memory of processor. In the processor memory the settings of the mobile terminal are determined 6, these settings being subsequently input 7 into the mobile terminal, its registers thus being modified.
  • In another embodiment of the invention, the configuration data after the confirmation of their identity are input 5 into the processor memory, where the settings of the mobile terminal are determined 6 and the specified settings are input 7 into the mobile terminal. The next step is modification of the mobile terminal setting files.
  • In another embodiment, when the configuration data have been confirmed and input 5 into the processor memory, the mobile terminal settings are determined 6 and input 7 into the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal files being subsequently created.
  • In the next embodiment, after determination 6 of the settings and input 7 of the settings into the mobile terminal, the registers and the mobile terminal setting files are modified and the mobile terminal files are created.
  • In another embodiment, when the received data are coded, decryption of the obtained information is conducted in a decryption module between decoding 2 and identification 3 of the data.
