Abstract

A mobile phone is disclosed. The mobile phone may receive a first request to generate an initial scannable image, and a second request to generate modified scannable image. The modified scannable image can include a static portion that corresponds to a static portion of the initial scannable image. The modified scannable image may also include another portion that has a different appearance than a corresponding portion of the initial scannable image.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a mobile device comprising a processor, and an input element and a display coupled to the processor, a first request for an initial scannable image;

generating, by the mobile device, the initial scannable image, the initial scannable image comprising a first image portion comprising a static image and a second image portion associated with executable code;

receiving a second request for a modified scannable image;

after receiving the second request, executing, by the mobile device, the executable code associated with the second image portion to form a modified second image portion; and

displaying, by a display on the mobile device, the modified scannable image, the modified scannable image comprising the first image portion comprising the static image and the modified second image portion, wherein the modified second image portion in the modified scannable image has a different appearance than the second image portion in the initial scannable image.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the initial scannable image comprises and the modified scannable image comprise a third image portion, wherein the third image portion is associated with encrypted metadata.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the first image portion encodes a token.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the initial and modified scannable images are two-dimensional machine readable codes.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the second request is initiated by a user providing an input to the input element.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the executable code is Javascript.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the second request is initiated by a signal from an access device.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the request for the first scannable image is received from an access device.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the displayed modified scannable image is scanned by an access device.

10. A mobile device comprising:

a processor;

a display coupled to the processor; and

a memory element comprising code, executable by the processor, for implementing a method comprising

receiving and an input element and a display coupled to the processor, a first request for an initial scannable image;

generating the initial scannable image, the initial scannable image comprising a first image portion comprising a static image and a second image portion associated with executable code;

receiving a second request for a modified scannable image;

after receiving the second request, executing the executable code associated with the second image portion to form a modified second image portion; and

displaying, on the display, the modified scannable image, the modified scannable image comprising the first image portion comprising the static image and the modified second image portion, wherein the modified second image portion in the modified scannable image has a different appearance than the second image portion in the initial scannable image.

11. The mobile device of claim 10, wherein the initial scannable image comprises and the modified scannable image comprise a third image portion, wherein the third image portion is associated with encrypted metadata.

12. The mobile device of claim 10, wherein the first image portion encodes a token.

13. The mobile device of claim 10, wherein the initial and modified scannable images are two-dimensional machine readable codes.

14. The mobile device of claim 10, wherein the second request is initiated by a user providing an input to the input element.

15. The mobile device of claim 10, wherein the executable code is Javascript.

16. The mobile device of claim 10, wherein the second request is initiated by a signal from an access device.

17. The mobile device of claim 10, wherein the request for the first scannable image is received from an access device.

18. The mobile device of claim 10, wherein the displayed modified scannable image is scanned by an access device.

19. A system comprising the mobile device of claim 10;

and the access device.
