DOI: 10.1007/s00779-009-0228-5 AbstractThis paper introduces a novel Web architecture that supports session migration in multi-device Web applications, particularly the case when a user starts a Web session on a computer and wishes to continue on a mobile phone. The proposed solution for transferring the needed session identifiers across devices is to dynamically generate pictures of 2D-barcodes containing a Web address and a session ID in an encoded form. 2D-barcodes are a cheap, fast and robust approach to the problem. They are widely known and used in Japan, and are spreading in other countries. Variations on the topic are covered in the article, including a possible migration from a mobile device to a computer (opposite direction), and between two or more mobile phones (possibly back and forth). The results show that this HCI approach is inexpensive, efficient, and works with most camera-phones on the market; the author does see any other mature technique with such assets.

Research and Application of 2D Barcode in Hospital Informatization

“…The widely deployment of wireless networks and mobile technologies and the significant increase in the number of mobile device users have created a very strong demand for emerging mobile commerce applications and services [3]. In [4], a novel Web architecture that supports session migration in multi-device Web applications is introduced, it can dynamically generate pictures of 2D-barcodes containing a Web address and a session ID in an encoded form. In [5], a new wavelet based watermarking algorithm using 2D barcode as watermark is proposed, dynamically generated 2D barcode is inserted as watermark in wavelet domain.…”

“…at the start of the migration and restores them after migration. For continuous Web browsing, Alapetite et al [10] migrate Web sessions across mobile devices using 2D-barcodes captured by cameras. A dedicated State Mapper is also developed in [11] for state recovery during UI migration between mobile phones and digital TVs.…”
