Abstract
This invention provides a novel system and method for dynamic QR-code registration and utilization, enabling users to define specific purposes for QR-codes printed on various physical media and attached to a person, animal or thing.
Claims14
A method for dynamically registering and utilizing QR-codes, the method comprising:
- (i) generating a QR-code representing a unique URL, which is comprised of a domain, and a base-code;
- wherein the base code comprises a first element and a second element and a third element, and wherein said first element of the base code categorizes the QR-code into different application types;
- and said second element of the base code represents a cryptographic signature;
- and said third element of the base code is the signature and is generated using a hash of a rest of the base code concatenated with a secret key,
- (ii) providing the QR-code generated to a first user possessing a smart-phone capable of scanning the QR code;
- (iii) enabling said first user, using said smart-phone, to scan the QR-code for a first time, whereby said first user is directed to a registration website;
- (iv) registering the QR-code with a specific registered action associated with a person, location, animal or thing;
- (v) storing the registration information in an information storage means;
- (vi) performing the registered action upon subsequent scanning of the QR-code by a second user, and
- (vii) allowing said first user to update aspects of the registration.
