Video/animated qr codes - privacy

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• storing, by a mobile device comprising a processor, a static quick response (QR) fragment and a set of dynamic QR fragment combinations, wherein the static QR fragment contains sufficient information to facilitate an online transaction, and wherein each of the set of dynamic QR fragment combinations collectively contain sufficient information to facilitate an offline transaction;
• storing, by the mobile device, a plurality of electronic personas, wherein each electronic persona corresponds to a unique privacy level;
• identifying, by the mobile device and in response to a request to render a QR code, a first electronic persona from the plurality of electronic personas, wherein the first electronic persona corresponds to a first privacy level;
• identifying, by the mobile device, a first dynamic QR fragment combination of the set of dynamic QR fragment combinations based on the first electronic persona;
• and
• building, by the mobile device, a video QR code by sequentially rendering on an electronic display of the mobile device a plurality of frames, wherein each frame of the plurality of frames depicts the static QR fragment and one respectively corresponding dynamic QR fragment from the first dynamic QR fragment combination.

A computer program product for facilitating video quick response (QR) codes, the computer program product comprising a computer-readable medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor of a mobile device to cause the mobile device to perform operations comprising:

• identifying, by the mobile device, an electronic persona;
• identifying, by the mobile device, a QR code based on the electronic persona;
• decomposing, by the mobile device, the QR code into a static fragment and a plurality of dynamic fragments, wherein the static fragment is a portion of the QR code that contains sufficient information to facilitate an online transaction, and wherein the plurality of dynamic fragments are a plurality of portions of the QR code that collectively contain sufficient information to facilitate an offline transaction but that individually do not contain sufficient information to facilitate the offline transaction;
• and
• sequentially rendering, by the mobile device, a plurality of frames on an electronic display of the mobile device, wherein each frame of the plurality of frames depicts the static fragment, and wherein each frame of the plurality of frames depicts a respectively corresponding one of the plurality of dynamic fragments.
