Abstract: Access control systems have been widely used in physical security to authenticate the passing people and control their entrance. The existing systems can be classified into the fingerprint based system, the proximity card based system, etc. according to the adopted authentication techniques. However, proximity cards are easy to lose, while fingerprints also become less reliable because they can be copied to make fakes. It appears access control systems relying on only one single authentication technique can be really risky. In this paper, we improve the traditional fingerprint based access control system with an additional authentication process and a remote authorization scheme, both of which are based on Quick Response Code (QR code). The second authentication process leverages the one-time password (OTP) and the personalized response to a challenge contained in the QR code to enhance security. The authorization scheme assists a remote manager to grant temporary access to otherwise unauthorized personnel using the time-stamped authorization information stored in the QR code. We have implemented the prototype of the proposed system in the .NET framework. Our experiments show the prototype takes about 77 ms to offer more rigorous authentication and 134 ms to provide both strengthened authentication and authorization.

Abstract: The proliferation of technology paves way to new kind of devices that can communicate with other devices to produce output mostly on wireless communication. Wirelessly communicating embedded devices are brought to one another in a single link over Internet called IoT (Internet of Things). If all objects and people in daily life were equipped with identifiers, computers could manage and inventory them. Besides using RFID, the tagging of things may be achieved through such technologies as near field communication, barcodes, QR codes and digital watermarking. Here new method of using embedded technology to provide such application, Arduino is used as an embedded controller to interface Ethernet shield with a PC/Laptop to provide IoT over Ethernet. A user can use this parking service in the airport scenario provided by airport authority with user ID and password. Whenever a user need to check the vehicle in the parking lot, uses the ID and password to logon into the airport web link and view the status of the car in the parking lot using IoT. IoT Based Airport Parking System is discussed here to implement Arduino environment as IoT application.

Abstract: The reach of information is now much easier and effective in the age of information technology. Electronic documents and resources have changed the entire paradigm of education and research. Students, teachers, professionals, academicians and researchers may get their information on their desktop/laptop/Smartphone through electronic platform. The availability of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and their use has also produced some challenges amongst the library professionals to make optimum use of information resources available. It has been observed that in spite of awareness programs, several e-resources are being underutilized or less used. There are several tools which may be used to raise the usage of e-resources to the maximum. One of them is QR Code technology. Quick Response codes are basically made for product promotion more likely as Bar-codes. In this paper a working model is presented which can be used in the Libraries to maximize the usage of e-books and other products and services of the Library.

Abstract: The popularity of QR code clearly indicates the strong demand of users to acquire (or pull) further information from interested sources (e.g., a poster) in the physical world. However, existing information pulling practices such as a mobile search or QR code scanning incur heavy user involvement to identify the targeted posters. Meanwhile, businesses (e.g., advertisers) are also interested to learn about the behaviors of potential customers such as where, when, and how users show interests in their offerings. Unfortunately, little such context information are provided by existing information pulling systems. In this paper, we present Contextual-Code (C-Code) - an information pulling system that greatly relieves users' efforts in pulling information from targeted posters, and in the meantime provides rich context information of user behavior to businesses. C-Code leverages the rich contextual information captured by the smartphone sensors to automatically disambiguate information sources in different contexts. It assigns simple codes (e.g., a character) to sources whose contexts are not discriminating enough. To pull the information from an interested source, users only need to input the simple code shown on the targeted source. Our experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of C-Code design. Users can effectively and uniquely identify targeted information sources with an average accuracy over 90%.

Abstract: Barcodes have been long used for data storage. Detecting and locating barcodes in images of complex background is an essential yet challenging step in the process of automatic barcode reading. This work proposed an algorithm that localizes and segments two-dimensional quick response (QR) barcodes. The localization involved a convolutional neural network that could detect partial QR barcodes. Majority voting was then applied to determine barcode locations. Then image processing algorithms were implemented to segment barcodes from the background. Experimental results show that the proposed approach was robust to detect QR barcodes with rotation and deformation.

Abstract: There is a growing interest in integrating public transportation with the smartphone and mobile ticketing provides just that. To do so, different technologies can be used, such as Near Field Communication, Quick Response Codes and Bluetooth Low Energy. This paper explores the possibility of implementing a mobile ticketing solution, with focus on the ticket validation process, using these technologies. They are analyzed and compared at different levels and two possible approaches proposed. Both solutions are presented in terms of infrastructure and maintenance cost, as well as passenger interaction and benefit. The feasibility and performance of the technologies is analyzed and presented in the context of the proposed approaches. As a result, a mobile ticketing solution can be implemented using different technologies, and their choice depends on factors such as the available funds, the intended interaction level, performance and the size of the target audience.

Abstract: The barcode technology has undergone many dramatic changes during the past few years. This is due to the increased need for encoding more data into the barcode. One of the latest developments in the barcode technology is color barcode, developed by Microsoft's High Capacity Color Barcode (HCCB). With four or eight colors, color barcodes are now used extensively in certain areas such as airports, print advertising and mobile phones compared to the 2D black and white barcodes such as Quick Response (QR) code and data matrix. This paper provides an overview of six papers related to color barcode and later introduces an algorithm developed to encode data using binarization and grouping of bits to form a color barcode and also to decode data from color barcode.

Abstract: Quick Response (QR) codes are two-dimensional (2-D) barcodes that can contain information such as URL links (e.g. a link to YouTube video, website link) and text (e.g. contact details, product details). These square pattern codes consist of black modules on a white background. QR code generator is software that stores data (e.g. URL link, text, Google maps location) into a QR code. This encoded data can be decoded by scanning the QR code symbol with a mobile device that is equipped with a camera and a QR code reader software. QR codes have a number of purposes; they are mostly used in manufacturing (e.g. product traceability, process control, inventory and equipment management), warehousing and logistics (e.g. item tracking), retailing (e.g. sales management), healthcare (e.g. medical records management, patient identification, equipment and device tracking), transportation (e.g. ticketing and boarding passes), office automation (e.g. document management), marketing and advertising (e.g. mobile marketing, electronic tickets, coupons, payments). This paper will describe various methods for the implementation of QR codes in the educational process. Experience from the School of Electrical Engineering in Zagreb shows that QR codes supports both independent and collaborative learning and can create an interactive learning environment.

Abstract: Mobile-based Assessment is increasingly used in different educational settings. Its successful implementation though depends on user acceptance. While previous research provides evidence on acceptance of mobile learning and computer-based assessment, there are not many studies focusing explicitly on the acceptance of Mobile-based Assessment. This study examines the impact of Perceived Mobility, Satisfaction, Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Ease of Use on students' Behavioral Intention to Use Mobile-based Assessment. 47 secondary school students, using their mobile devices and Quick Response (QR) - coding technology, participated in an outdoor Mobile-based Assessment procedure during their visit in a Botanic Garden. Partial Least Squares (PLS) was used for the data analysis of the recorded students' perceptions about the Mobile-based Assessment. Results show that Perceived Mobility, Satisfaction, Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Ease of Use are all significant determinants of Behavioral Intention to Use mobile-based assessment. Several important implications for designing and implementing mobile-based assessment procedures are discussed.

Abstract: The conventional optical cable labels in smart substations contain too little information to support operation or maintenance. To solve this problem, this paper introduced a QR (Quick Response) code system for labeling and identification of optical cable labels in China's smart substations. The label format is specified for three kinds of cables, and the implementation methods of generation module and identification module are also stated. The generation module can provide design drawings of secondary system, QR code labels and database for handheld terminals. The identification module can quickly identify the optical cable by scanning the QR code and show its physical connection and virtual circuit to users. In that way, scan-and-read for signal circuits is achieved, which improves the efficiency of commissioning, operation and maintenance work in smart substations.
