Method and device for identifying two-dimensional barcodes

A device for identifying 2-Dimensional (2-D) barcodes contained within a retrieved webpage, the device comprises at least a processor with circuitry executing instruction codes stored in a local memory, which configures a browser of the device to launch to a website to retrieve at least one webpage;

• and the device is further configured to:
• receive an instruction input by a user to identify if at least one native 2-D barcode is contained within the at least one retrieved webpage;
• retrieve the at least one webpage according to the instruction and if it is determined that the at least one native 2-D barcode is contained within the at least one retrieved webpage and the native 2-D barcode information cannot be read by the device:
• without using an image capturing device on the device to further perform a separate 2-D barcode image acquisition operation, obtain directly by the device, a corresponding decipher key pertaining to the at least one native 2-D barcode from the at least one native 2-D barcode itself, and utilize the corresponding decipher key together with the at least one native 2-D barcode to start a local application within the mobile terminal to retrieve 2-D barcode information associated with the at least one native 2-D barcode according to the corresponding decipher key.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, wherein the computer readable storage medium stores a program which comprises codes or instructions to be executed by a processor circuitry which configures a mobile terminal to identify 2-Dimensional (2-D) barcodes contained within a retrieved webpage, wherein the mobile terminal performs operations, comprising:

• launching a browser to retrieve at least one webpage;
• receiving an instruction input by a user to identify if at least one native 2-D barcode is contained within the at least one retrieved webpage;
• if it is determined by the mobile device that the at least one native 2-D barcode is contained within the at least one retrieved webpage and the native 2-D barcode information cannot be read by the mobile device:
• without using an image capturing device on the mobile terminal to further perform a separate 2-D barcode image acquisition operation, obtaining directly by the mobile terminal, a corresponding decipher key pertaining to the at least one native 2-D barcode from the at least one native 2-D barcode itself;
• and
• utilizing by the mobile terminal, the corresponding decipher key together with the at least one native 2-D barcode to start a local application within the mobile terminal to retrieve 2-D barcode information associated with the at least one native 2-D barcode according to the corresponding decipher key.
