An optical code scanner being operated using an algorithm is provided. The scanner may scan an optical label. The label may include machine-readable code. The scanner may derive a single set of instructions from the code or multiple sets of instructions from the code. The scanner may process the code. The processing may upload a set of instructions from the code to the scanner and store the set of instructions in an instructions library. The scanner may also derive a picture associated with the instructions and store the picture in the library. The scanner may display a plurality of pictures. Each of the pictures may correspond to a set of uploaded instructions stored on the scanner. Each of the plurality of pictures may be selectable by a user. In response to a user selection of a picture, the scanner may be configured to execute the uploaded instructions that correspond to the selected picture.

Multiplexed quick response ('QR') code experience derivation

Software tools disclosed herein may allow a user to enter design choices that alter an aesthetic appearance of a machine-readable label such that modules included in the label deviate from a standardized definition for the modules. Such alterations may include changes in size, color and orientation of modules. The alterations may allow a user to create machine-readable labels having unique aesthetic appearances. A software engine may ensure that, despite the aesthetic design choices entered by a user, the generated machine-readable label is reliably scannable.

Machine-readable label generator

This disclosure relates to an electronic tag that may be scanned using at least two modalities, such by scanning a radio-frequency identification ('RFID') embedded within the tag and/or scanning a machine-readable label ('MRL') visible from an outside of the tag. Systems may track and capture downstream user interaction with content presented in response to a scan. Systems may distinguish between scan of an MRL versus scans of an RFID chip. A scan of an MRL may trigger loading of a first scan destination on a scanning device. A scan of an RFID chip may trigger loading of a second scan destination on a scanning device. Systems may generate analytics on detected differences between whether an MRL or RFID chip is scanned.

Electronic tag with two scanning modalities

Apparatus and methods provide an end-to-end system for claiming and sharing non-fungible tokens ('NFTs'). A machine-readable code ('MRC') may be scanned and validated. Validating the MRC may ensure that instructions encoded in the MRC do not include malware. Validating the MRC may include validating a digital signature encoded in the scanned MRC. Validating the MRC may include locating a record stored on a distributed ledger that corresponds to the scanned MRC. After validating the instructions, processing the encoded instructions may trigger distribution of an NFT to the scanning device. The distributed NFT may be visualized on a webpage or used to gain access to a restricted venue.

Secure scanning of machine-readable codes

Methods, devices and systems for computing interactive customized content in response to a scan, or multiple scans, of a machine-readable label are provided. Illustrative methods may include receiving, from a user or group of users, a scan of a machine-readable optical label captured using a camera of a mobile device. Methods may include determining, based on the scan or scans, one, or more than one, redirect Uniform Resource Locator(s) (URL(s)). Methods may include generating, based on a user profile or group of user profiles and a redirect service that is accessed using the redirect URL, customized content associated with the scan. Methods may include redirecting the user or users to one or more target landing page URL(s), and providing to the user or users, through a browser on the mobile device or mobile devices, one or more than one target landing page(s) that includes the customized content.

Refactoring of static machine-readable codes

Methods, devices and systems for computing interactive customized content in response to a scan of a machine-readable label are provided. Illustrative methods may include receiving, from a user, a scan of a machine-readable optical label captured using a camera of a mobile device. Methods may include determining, based on the scan, a redirect Uniform Resource Locator (URL). Methods may include generating, based on a user profile and a redirect service that is accessed using the redirect URL, comprising the customized content associated with the scan. Methods may include redirecting the user to a target landing page URL, and providing, to the user through a browser on the mobile device, a target landing page that includes the customized content.
