Abstract: A system and a method using matrix barcode information to perform point-to-point information exchange are provided. An electronic device is connected to a document-processing device by way of wired connection and instantly exchange information with a mobile device held by a user. The electronic device and the mobile device are wirelessly connected through matrix barcode information. The electronic device provides a file transfer zone for storing information to be transmitted. When the user transmits a remote command to the electronic device through the mobile device, the electronic device directly drives the document-processing device according to the remote command for the document-processing device to perform a corresponding automated document-processing action, such as scanning or printing. Given the instant information exchange scheme established based on the matrix barcode information, the document-processing efficiency can be enhanced.
