  • Patent number: 12254057
    Abstract: An intelligent redirect system for a quick response (“QR”) code derived unified resource location (“URL”). The system may include a plurality of website variants. Each website variant may present a landing page. Each landing page may correspond to the QR code. A backend server may receive the plurality of website variants from a user. A plurality of scans may be received from a plurality of scanners. A preconfigured algorithm may determine which website variant to direct to each of the plurality of scanners. A processor may derive scanner behavior for each website variant. An artificial intelligence (“AI”) model may build a new distribution pattern based on the scanner behavior. The new distribution pattern may be used to direct a website variant to the scanner.

  • Patent number: 12118430
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for testing a scannability of a QR code within multiple scenarios is provided. Methods may include generating the QR code and creating a background-scene for being applied to the QR code. Methods may include creating a composite image by combining the QR code with the background-scene. Methods may further include generating multiple versions of the composite image to mimic the composite image within the multiple scenarios. The multiple scenarios may include one or more environments the QR code may be positioned within. The multiple scenarios may include one or more perspectives the QR code may be scanned from. Methods may further include simulating scanning each of the multiple versions to determine a level of success of the scanning of each of the multiple versions.

  • Patent number: 11893433
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for mining a Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) are provided. A method according to the embodiments includes generating a quick-response (“QR”) code including a data zone, a position detection pattern and an environmental zone. The method further includes storing an application programming interface (“API”) in a memory. The API is for retrieving a Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) from a selected location. The URL includes a logo. The method also includes building the data zone, the position detection pattern and the environmental zone of the QR code based on the URL—and creating dark and light color categorization of a plurality of colors derived from the URL.
