A 2D Barcode Validation System for Mobile Commerce

The widely deployment of wireless networks and mobile technologies and the significant increase in the number of mobile device users have created a very strong demand for emerging mobile commerce applications and services Barcode-based identification and validation solutions have been considered as an important part of electronic commerce systems, particularly in electronic supply chain systems This paper reports a mobile-based 2D barcode validation system as a part of mobile commerce systems This barcode-based validation solution is developed based on the Data Matrix 2D-Barcode standard to support barcode-based validation in mobile commerce systems on mobile devices Furthermore, the paper also demonstrates its application by building a mobile movie ticketing system.
