METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR USING SCANABLE CODES TO OBTAIN A SERVICE

摘要

A mobile communication device may include a scan client module for scanning and communicating QR code information. QR code scanning is accomplished by a camera module that is associated with the smartphone or other mobile computing device. The scan-enabled client module communicates the scanned QR code information to an associated server application for collecting, processing and reporting scan data. Service code information is extracted from the scan code and used to facilitate the storage of and subsequent access to user specified event planning information that includes event initiation and termination information. If the scan code/tag is affixed to an item that is subsequently lost, when the owner's code is scanned by another user, the finding user is instructed where to take the lost item so that it may be safely recovered by the owner. According to another aspect, service code information is extracted from the scan code and used to facilitate the creation of a parking reminder record that is bound to the scanning user and which identifies the associated parking space.

主权项

1. A system for facilitating the recovery of a lost item using information obtained from the scanning of a scanable code by the user of a scan-enabled client module, the system comprising:
a computing platform including a processor; a server application module executable by the processor and configured to:
receive, from a scan-enabled client module, information obtained from the scanning of a scanable code which can be used to identify the owner of the scanable code;use the received owner identifying information to determine a contact address information for the owner; anduse the contact address information to communicate a pick-up notification message to the owner.
