Graphic Code Identification via Server Query
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing methods for processing information in graphic codes have a low success rate due to limited pre-stored application program identifiers, making it difficult for electronic devices to find appropriate applications to process the information carried in the codes.
Innovation Solution
A method that involves acquiring an identification code from a graphic code, sending an update request to a server if the code is not recognized locally, and using the server's response to start the appropriate application program for processing the information, including options for downloading or using basic applications if necessary.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If pre-stored application program identifiers are used for processing graphic code information, then the processing speed is fast, but the probability of successfully processing is low due to limited identifiers
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between the electronic device and the application programs. When a graphic code is scanned and its identifier is not found in the local pre-stored list, the system queries the server to obtain the corresponding application program identifier. This intermediary approach expands the available identifiers without increasing local storage complexity, thereby improving processing success probability while maintaining system simplicity.
2Reliability
If more application program identifiers are pre-stored locally, then the probability of successfully processing increases, but the device storage and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from a one-dimensional local storage approach to a two-dimensional architecture by adding a network dimension. Instead of expanding local storage, the system uses a server in the cloud to store and provide application program identifiers. This dimensional shift allows the electronic device to access a vast number of identifiers through network queries without increasing local storage space, thus improving processing success probability while maintaining minimal local storage requirements.

AI summary
A method, an apparatus, and a system for distributing information in a graphic code. The method includes acquiring an identification code in a selected graphic code; sending to a server a first update request including the identification code when the identification code does not exist; receiving first response information fed back by the server; starting, according to the application program identifier in the first response information, an application program corresponding to the application program identifier. When an identification code of a graphic code does not exist in an electronic device, an application program identifier corresponding to the identification code is requested from a server, and an application program corresponding to the application program identifier is started. Thus, a probability that information in a graphic code can be successfully processed is relatively high, and a success rate of identifying a graphic code is improved.
