An image data decoding method for decoding contact information and communication event related to a second user and implementing the communication event

摘要

A user terminal, method and communication client code for establishing a communication event, the user terminal comprising: a processor arranged to execute communication client code and image data decoding code; and means for capturing image data including (i) encoded contact information for a second user and (ii) encoded data defining a communication event related to the second user, said image data being supplied to the image data decoding code, said image data decoding code arranged to decode said image data and to supply decoded contact information decoded from said image data to the communication client code, wherein responsive to receiving said decoded contact information the communication client code configured to implement the communication event defined in the encoded data using said decoded contact information. It relates to a bar code (e.g. a Quick Response or QR code (RTM)) which can be scanned by a mobile device of a first user in order to establish a communication event between the first user and a second user. It enables a user of a mobile device to contact another party, when contact details of the other party are not available to the user of the mobile device.
