Java ME Ink Blot Reader

I ran into Paul Schreiber (communications consultant) at the JavaOne 2005 conference today. He showed me a demo of the Semacode Java ME 2D barcode reader.

See:

Java ME 2D barcode reader

It's pretty cool. It uses the camera on the phone to decrypt a 2 dimensional barcode into a URL that you can go to from any Web browser.

I'd like to see the other way and have barcodes generated by a Java ME app on your cell phone screen so you can use at the supermarket where they run it over their scanners like a coupon. Hasn't that way been done already?
