Mobile Tagging

As the real world becomes closer to Internet world, the real objects also become entities for Internet world. The mobile users can interact with real world objects as if they are on Internet such as fetch related URL’s, information, etc. Other interaction such as sending SMS, email with specific information, buying product, request additional information, seeing related advertisement, reserving tickets are also possible. 

Mobile Tagging is the process of providing data on mobile devices, commonly through the use of data (such as a URL) encoded in a computer readable barcode, meant to be read and inputted using a camera phone. The difference between regular linear barcodes with mobile tagging enabled barcode is that in mobile tagging enabled barcode, the barcode itself is self-descriptive that holds additional information in it, such as in QR code, one can encode up to 7,089 characters if the data is numeric and up to 4,296 characters if the data is alphanumeric. These kinds of barcodes that can hold additional data in it are known as Matrix code or 2D code.
