Methods for virtual multi-dimensional quick response codes

A method of using a Virtual Multi-Dimensional Quick Response (VMDQR) code, the method comprising:

• obtaining an initialization image of an initialization object at a code initialization device, the initialization object comprising initialization object reference points;
• identifying initialization image reference points on the initialization object in the initialization image using the code initialization device, the initialization image reference points corresponding to the initialization object reference points;
• receiving a data set at the code initialization device, the data set associated with the initialization object;
• and
• transmitting the initialization image reference points and the data set to a code management device for generating the VMDQR code based on the data set and for positioning the VMDQR code in accordance with the initialization image reference points.

A method of using a Virtual Multi-Dimensional Quick Response (VMDQR) code, the method comprising:

• receiving initialization image reference points of an initialization object and a data set from a code initialization device;
• generating the VMDQR code based on the data set;
• storing the VMDQR code and the initialization image reference points in a code management database;
• receiving process image reference points of a process object from a code retrieval device;
• determining if the process image reference points corresponds to the initialization image reference points;
• and
• if the process image reference points correspond to the initialization image reference points, transmitting the VMDQR code to the code retrieval device.
