Screen-Camera Communication System Based on Dynamic QR Code

Abstract

Screen-camera communication is a new information communication method based on visible light. However, such communication mechanism relies on barcodes to transmit information which suffers a limited capacity and a low communication rate. Hence, we proposed a color multiplexed dynamic QR Code communication system based on mobile devices. Use this method can further improve the communication rates over the system. In our system, a self-defined frame structure has been designed for a better reliability and diversity in the transmission. The experiment results indicated that in the traditional dynamic QR Code transmission mechanism, the real-time communication rate is 150 Kbit/s and the non-real-time communication rate is 300 Kbit/s. While, under the proposed color multiplexed dynamic QR Code communication system, the real-time communication rate can reach 320 Kbit/s and the non-real-time communication rate can reach 900 Kbit/s. After multiple experimental tests, it can transfer text, picture and audio files with no error.
