Mobile barcode technology has been used extensively in various domains since its   invention in the '90s due to its better message capacity, wider encoding scope, and improved security functions such as barcode reliability, data error detection, and forgery proof. In recent years, more and more operators  have applied the mobile barcode for mobile commercial affairs for its convenience and promptness.
