Data Management via QR Code Using Android Smart Devices

Abstract

Smart devices have become one of the most important facilities in managing the data in the organizations recently. In this research, Android Application has been developed with taking advantage of Quick Response codes technology for storing different types of data (ex: documents, goods or employees) within organizations, and retrieving it on demand on the smart device screen or sharing it to other devices as Excel reports. Discussion of the study assumptions, delimitations, and limitations resulted in developing several approaches for tackling the process of generating unique QR codes representing the items in the organizations, in addition to developing a QR code reader by making use of the camera in the smart device. Office goods have been chosen in this research project as a data sample. Based on the experiments, the findings have proven that QR code technology is highly useful in the data management process, for storing and retrieving information within smart devices, showing a high response speed and accuracy.
