Abstract

Disclosed are an apparatus and method of creating, displaying and utilizing quick response (QR) codes to perform processing an application on a mobile device and a control system network. One example method of operation may include identifying a user information parameter and generating a symbology code image that includes the user information parameter and displaying the symbology code on a mobile device display.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

accessing an application on a mobile device;

identifying at least one user information parameter;

generating a symbology code image that includes the at least one user information parameter; and

displaying the symbology code on a mobile device display.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one user information parameter identifies at least one user preference.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one user information parameter is a control function used to operate a remote electronic device.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the remote electronic device comprises at least one of a light, motor control, computer application, relay, binary logic signal interface and a communications interface.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one user information parameter comprises a username, password and mobile device information.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

displaying the symbology code to a control device; and

automatically logging the mobile device into a communication network operated by the control device responsive to the displayed symbology code.

7. The method of claim 6, further comprising:

receiving wireless communication access at the mobile device responsive to logging the mobile device into the communication network.

13. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to display the symbology code to a control device and automatically log a user into a communication network operated by the control device responsive to the displayed symbology code.

14. The apparatus of claim 13, further comprising:

a receiver configured to receive wireless communication access responsive to logging the user into the communication network.

8. An apparatus comprising:

a display; and

a processor configured to

access an application and identify at least one user information parameter

generate a symbology code image that includes the at least one user specific information parameter, and

display the symbology code on the display.

9. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the at least one user information parameter identifies at least one user preference.

10. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the at least one user information parameter is a control function used to operate a remote electronic device.

11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the remote electronic device comprises at least one of a light, motor control, computer application, relay, binary logic signal interface and a communications interface.

12. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the at least one user information parameter comprises a username, password and mobile device information.

15. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform:

accessing an application on a mobile device;

identifying at least one user information parameter;

generating a symbology code image that includes the at least one user specific information parameter; and

displaying the symbology code on a mobile device display.

16. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the at least one user information parameter identifies at least one user preference.

17. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the at least one user information parameter is a control function used to operate a remote electronic device.

18. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 17, wherein the remote electronic device comprises at least one of a light, motor control, computer application, relay, binary logic signal interface and a communications interface.

19. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the at least one user information parameter comprises a username, password and mobile device information.

20. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the processor is further configured to perform:

displaying the symbology code to a control device;

automatically logging the mobile device into a communication network operated by the control device responsive to the displayed symbology code; and

receiving wireless communication access at the mobile device responsive to logging the mobile device into the communication network.
