Tuesday November 20, 2007 Scan bar codes using Java ME techology
Australia's Telstra is launching a way to use a Java technology-enabled cell phone to scan in bar codes from billboards, signs, and any object by taking a photo of them from a mobile phone. See: Bar code scanning using Java ME Here's a quote: The trial will let Next G customers download tickets, vouchers and maps as well as go directly to websites or view streaming video. All they need do is photograph a barcode, which can be on any surface - from billboards and computer screens to bottles and T-shirts. I-nigma is compatible with a range of mobiles and runs on Java...Cool! Now if it could only scan all the bar codes in a supermarket and tell me which item is the cheapest! ;-) |
