Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems and computer program products for providing scan-triggered application services to a user using a scan-able information encoded in a service scan code, such as a bar code, a quick response (QR) code, an RFID code/tag, or an NFC code/tag. In one embodiment, a mobile communication device such as a smartphone, tablet computer or other mobile computer is adapted to include a scan-triggered service client module for scanning and communicating scan code information obtained from a scanable service code. In one exemplary embodiment, service scan code scanning is accomplished by a code scanner that is associated with the smartphone or other mobile computing device. The scan-triggered service client module communicates the obtained scan code information to an associated server application for collecting and processing the scan code information and providing the associated service.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems and computer program products for surveying a user using a scan-code tag, such as a quick response code. In one embodiment, a mobile communication device such as a smartphone, tablet computer or other mobile computer is adapted to include a survey client module for scanning and communicating scan code information, where the information can be used to identify a surveying entity and a subject-specific survey area or other auxiliary information. The survey client module communicates the scanned survey scan code information to an associated server. In response to receiving the information, the application server is adapted to select survey content related to the specified survey subject area and to communicate this selected subject-specific survey content to the user. The user responds to the provided subject-specific survey content and provides associated survey response information to the application server.
