Bryan- We are scoping out a project with similar requirements right now. The goal would be that QR Codes could be used to help in data entry in a form that has other fields in it too. It's for an stock/inventory management app. I don't know if this helps you out at all because I haven't tested anything yet to see what's possible, but we're hoping to build the QR codes as URLs so that any "outside" QR scanning app hitting the code would send the user to an appropriate deep link in the mobile site for that item. Additionally, we hope to eventually embed QR scanning in either a mobile site or app that would allow the user to "scan item(s) now" as part of a larger process. In this case, we would like to intercept the QR string within our app and disassemble it in the app (instead of redirecting the user to the URL). In that case we would just pull out the URL params to populate the form and disregard the fact that it's a web link. I think that this should be possible in theory but I don't know yet what's possible within a mobile website vs an app. In a native app I am sure it's possible, the mobile site I am still unsure. We are also investigating handheld BlueTooth QR scanners that may be able to send the inputs to the app as a string - simulating keyboard entry. We've had success with connecting up credit card swipers and 2d barcode scanners this way in the past so I am hopeful this will be no different. I would be interested in hearing about anything you find. -Cameron -- Cameron Childress -- p: 678.637.5072 im: cameroncf facebook <http://www.facebook.com/cameroncf> | twitter<http://twitter.com/cameronc> | google+ <https://profiles.google.com/u/0/117829379451708140985> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:358312 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
