QR Code can save much more information than 1D Bar Code and encode various types of information. As it takes less general cost than high priced RFID, it can be recognized through smart-phone without any special facilities. Despite these strengths, QR Code is just used by general people for their daily life service, while 1D Bar Code is applied in all kinds of industry like sales, distribution, production management, quality management and so on. And RFID is also used in many industrial field like harbor and distribution area. The range of QR Code's usage is getting broad but still restrictive. So it is required to make new organized system. Therefore, this research suggests that Applying QR Code in the SCM. Connecting QR Code with SCM, it secures space for data's movement. And it helps not only rise the speed and accuracy of data flow but also reduce logistical cost.

2-dimensional barcode, QR code has been used for containing various information such as image, video, map, and business cards. Currently, a smartphone is used as a QR code scanner, displaying the code and converting it to a standard URL for a website. However, QR codes are not very common in encrypted application and so have a few applications. This paper proposes a new color-code, which integrates the conventional QR code and color design, and can be effectively used in some product certification system. The proposed method exploits the fact that genuine code is produced by CMYK color model, but the counterfeit is captured by RGB color model and during this process, color information of the code is changed. This paper introduces the color matrix model to measure the distortion between genuine code and counterfeit code. By investigating the statistical characteristics of color matrix, an effective detection of print image forgeries are designed. Various experiments with color codes show that the proposed system can be effectively used in product certification systems.

Recently, with the advance of Ubiquitous era, the types of services become diverse. Especially, due to the rapid development of mobile technology, the new functions of mobile phones are added and the new applications of mobile phones are developed actively. Among the various applications related to mobile phones, 2 dimensional barcode-based applications are increasing. 2 dimensional barcode is mostly used for the management of past record. However, by combing 2 dimensional barcode with mobile phones, the application areas of 2 dimensional barcode are expanded to the means of publicity for education, tourism, and festivals. In this paper, we develop a QR code decoder running on smartphones, which connects on-line and off-line. In addition, we modify our decoder by detecting the point for performance enhancement based on TRIZ. We compare our decoder with an open-source based decoder in terms of the code size of decoding and the speed of decoding in order to prove that our decoder has a better performance than the other. Finally, we introduce two applications: u-map and u-pamphlet as QR code applications.

A genuine product authentication framework and genuine distinction algorithm based on design QR code is proposed in this paper. The proposed framework consists of design QR code, a smart phone application for authentication, and a server system. Design QR code is a shape-modification of conventional QR code according to manufacturer's and/or product's need. In the design QR code, information about manufacturer and product is written. The written information can be read with general QR code reader, however, the content is transformed with authentication code, used in the first step authentication, and the meaning cannot be inferred. The application conducts the first step authentication and sends the resulting information to the server system for the second step authentication. The server system decides the genuinity using look-up history. The proposed framework can improve the authentication effect while minimizing the additional costs by managing the history through the server system. The proposed framework has proven to be effective in actual use, such as that used for the management of garbage bags in Ansan city.

The quick-response (QR) code is a two-dimensional barcode which is widely being used. Due to several interesting features such as small code size, high error correction capabilities, easy code generation and reading process, the QR codes are used in many applications. Nowadays, a printed color QR code for offline applications is being studied to improve the information storage capacity. By multiplexing color information into the conventional black-white QR code, the storage capacity is increased, however, it is hard to extract the embedded information due to the color crosstalk and geometrical distortion. In this paper, to overcome these problems, a new type of QR code is designed based on the CMYK color model and the local spatial searching as well as the global spatial matching is introduced in the reading process. These results in the recognition rate increase. Through practical experiments, it is shown that the proposed algorithm can perform the bit recognition rate improvement of about 3% to 5%.

According to popularization of smart phones, we can easily see the QR code attached to products. Restaurants also provide customers with store information using QR code. Sixteen years have passed since QR code was developed. In Korea, QR code has been widely utilized in the field of marketing because of easiness of technique implementation and channel expansion to mobile. However, to recognize QR code, we should run the proper application and focus on it during loading time. To address this problem, this paper proposes the app to manage store information using NFC technology. The proposed app saves easily store information through the name card of a store and facilitates its management obtained by a smart phone.

In this paper, we propose a mobile book management application using the camera of a smart phone and the open API book information provided online. The camera automatically scans the bar-code or QR-code of a particular book. The code of that book is used to transmit detailed information to the open API. Then the proposed application records this information for use in an "Scan list" or an "My book list". This application notes the page of the book that the user is currently reading and, if the user has read the entire book, he or she can comment about it. Therefore, the proposed application provides useful functions so that the users can manage their books effectively.
