HOW TO CREATE QR CODES FOR YOUR PRODUCTS

WHAT ARE QR CODES

QR code is the abbreviation for Quick Response Code invented in 1994 by Denso Wave for tracking vehicles during manufacture; it was first designed to allow high-speed component scanning and It by far one of the most popular types of two-dimensional barcodes. It is attached to a product or an item and can be optically read by a QR scanner or software that displays informations contained on that product or item. These information encoded in a QR code may contain four types ("modes") of Standardize data through supported extensions and reads virtually any type of data it contains. they may include numerals, alphanumeric characters, byte or binary, Kanji e.t.c

A pictorial view of a QR code consists of black square dots aligned on a square grid normally on a white background which is readable via an optical device such as a camera or scanner. it is processed interpreted appropiately by a device or smartphone until the data contained in the scanned photo is then extracted from patterns present in both horizontal and vertical components of the image.

HOW DO I GET A QR CODE?

Now, you may ask "How do I get a QR code for my product or item? ". There are many services out there that generates Links to Qr Codes for free E.g. appspot.com and Keywa.com. This is normally know as Hard linking or Object Hyperlinking

USES OF A QR CODE

Like I said earlier, QR codes were made for tracking vehicles during manufacture. Today, QR codes have now become a common tool used in various consumer advertising. Standard websites and products owners now give out sparingly enough QR codes of their product to the general audience. some QR codes may contain URL links that takes you to the product's web page for further information using ur smartphone or a scanner attached to your computer

IT IS USED FOR STORING AND ENCODING WEB ADDRESSES

It is very common to see advertisers place QR Codes on banners, magazines, photos, newspapers, and even on streetwalls. Incase you have been seeing them and you're are wondering what it is, then grab your smarphone or tablet and take a shot of it with a QR Code Scanner to see what information it exactly contain. What you might see may take you to a web page where all the information on the displayed QR code code contain.

IT IS USED FOR TRACKING GEO LOCATIONS OF ITEMS

QR codes also may be used to track the location where a code has been scanned. It can be retrieved in dual ways it is either the app or software used as the QR code Scanner retrieves the Geographical information by using GPS and cell tower triangulation (aGPS) or a URL or meta data encoded in the QR code itself is associated with a location

Google has a popular API to generate QR codes , and apps for scanning QR codes can be found on nearly all smartphone devices.

USED BY ONLINE VIRTUAL STORES OWNERS

Since the mid of last 2 years ( since 2011 ), according to one study, 14 million mobile users were accounted to have scanned a QR code or a barcode. it was also given that 60% of these users scanned a QR or barcode from their homes, while the rest 40% scanned from retail stores; Further statics accounts for 53% of the 14 million users were said to be men between the ages of 18 and 35. The South Koreans were known to be the first to use QR Codes for Virtual Store purpose, and beginning to gain massive users globally.

QR CODES ARE USED FOR PAYMENTS

Bank details such as credit card information, bank account information, pins and pass phrases are encoded in QR codes to ease payment of goods and carry out other financial transactions. Today there are thousands of site that offer products and services using scanned bar codes and QR codes

LOGIN TO WEB PORTALS

QR codes can be used to log in into websites and web portals for unrestricted access. The user is normally prompted to scan the QR Code as it's shown on the login page on a computer screen with a verified smartphone. By doing so they are automatically logged in on the computer. Authentication is performed by the smartphone which contacts the site's server. A QR code login method called "Sesame"zzzz. This method of user authentication was first trialled by Google in January 2012.

THEY ARE USED FOR ENCRYPTION AND CONCEALING INFORMATION

Although they may not be boundless in use but have been used in few implementation. Encrypted QR codes, which are not very common, have a few implementations. An Android app, for example, manages encryption and decryption of QR codes using the DES algorithm (56 bits).

WHAT ARE THE RISK OF USING QR CODES?

The risk of Using QR CODES may tend to harm users as certain malicious links and Items may be encoded into QR codes. This is normally known as "attagging", a portmanteau of "attack tagging". In this Case I would advice you scan QR codes from trusted people and organizations. They are easily created and can be affixed over legitimate QR codes

linking to malicious sites with browser exploits, enabling the microphone/camera/GPS e.tc., streaming feeds from your device to a remote server, analysing your sensitive data such as passwords, contacts and all transactions made by you, and sending unsolicited emails/SMS/IM messages or DDOS packets as part of a botnet on your behalf, tempering with your privacy settings, stealing your identity, malicious JavaScript and virus. These actions could occur in the background without your consent while you are going about your normal daily web surfing. Cases Have been reported In Russia Where malicious QR code scanned with smartphones ended up sending premium texts at a fee of US$6 each.

My advice is that you should be careful of the Codes you scan.

IF YOU HAVE AN EMAIL ADDRESS THEN READ THIS

INTRODUCTION

If you have an email address and you really want those spam messages to stay clear off your inbox, then you have to read this. Almost like everyday, most internet users gets chunks of spam messages being delivered into their inbox without their consent. And they are left with the question "how did this [***SPAMMER***] get my email address ?". How the sender got your email may not be issue but how often you keep exposing your email address and he/she keeps sending you that annoying crap or story line always. But sometime it is more easier to blame it on yourself due to carelessness on our own part ( I mean no offense). By doing so, you leave SPAM BOTS and spammers who uses Email Extractors to have quick access to your Email address.

That's why I don't buy the Idea of you Leaving your e-mail address on my blog (...you will be doing so at your own risk). Instead I see no wrong making use of the comment box below if ever you want to be heard or pass across any information for users and visitors of this blog.
If you really want to stop receiving those Spam messages (unwanted messages), then you must harken to the rest instructions and steps listed below in this post

To stop receiving spam Emails on Yahoo! Mail. Log on to Yahoo! Mail on your DESKTOPand place search out the spam email. (likely to be in your spam folder)

Place the cursor over the sender's name in your mail folder. The real email address should appear in a tool tip.

From the Image below, you can see, the labellings A and B


A. carries the sender's name while B. tells you the real email address of the sender. ( Take Note)

Wait a minute I think I should make something clear here before we continue You may still get the same type of spam messages timelessly even if you end up blocking the sender with the below steps. Some spammers are very crafty and uses different names with the same domain, such as xpangoxc.a.b@vbi.com.hk and mssoretk.c.b@vbi.com.hk.
In this case, you are to block the domain and not a specific email address or even the both. For instance, from the illustration above, you're to block the uol.com.br. domain name. If you must also know, on the other hand some spammers are not predictable in how they create their addresses, as such my suggestion concerning blocking the both may not guarantee you to stop receiving spam messages completely. although it might reduce the messages from Spammers.

Click the gear icon (Gear Icon) in the upper-right corner of the window, and select Mail Options from the menu that appears. (In Mail Classic, select Options | Mail Options.)
On the left pane of the Options page, click Blocked Addresses (in Mail Classic, click Spam). In the Add an address box (in Mail Classic, Add a Blocked address), type the email address or domain of the Spammer that you want to block forever.
Click the "+" button to the right of the box (in Mail Classic, click Add).

Block address

The address or domain is added to your list of blocked addresses, and you should no longer receive email from that address. You can use this method to block up to 500 email addresses and domains from different senders. You are also able to see how many you've blocked on the left side of the list, for example, "3 of 500 used." Please note that in cases where the spammer uses a Yahoo Id, Only the Email address should be blocked Not the Domain Name. Blocking the domain can stop you from receiving emails from other Users with yahoo ID

To Ublock Address

To Unlock any Email address, Simply select the email address you want to remove from the list and click the Trash Can Icon as shown above, to remove the address from your block List.

10 STEPS TO TROUBLESHOOT YOUR ZTE OR HUAWEI MODEM

Due to the large number of complains I get on countless occasion from different modem users, I have decided to make this post that can help you fix some bug and troubleshoot your modem. There are several reasons why you re unable to connect your modem to your PC to access the internet. some many have complained of "device disconnected" or device not available when they try to connect their modem to the internet. Sometimes SIM is not detected or SIM is said to be invalid. And sometimes you get the message on modem installation that says "Device not successfully install" or you get device "driver not found".

Now the One million dollar question is; how are you to go about this? how do yo get alll these solve to get your modem in a working condition.Should I get a new modem in this case?

Now before You think of getting a new modem, try the following steps carefully and make sure you hid to every instruction.

[1] 1ST MAKE SURE THE SIM IS PROPERLY INSERTED

You should probably see direction for use on your modem pack or right on the modem that shows you the correct way to insert SIM into your modem

[2] MAKE SURE YOUR MODEM IS UNLOCKED OR YOU'RE USING THE RIGHT SIM

With the advent of Customized Modem from different network provider, you're are sure to get an error message that shows SIM is not accepted when you insert SIM from another network provider. You can get passed this by simply getting your Modem unlocked so it can accept SIM from other network provider.

[3] MAKE SURE U USE THE APPROPRIATE APN SETTINGS FOR YOUR HUAWEI OR ZTE DEVICE

Make sure you create a profile on your modem bearing the right APN settings for the right SIM inserted. You can create several profile as much as you please.
APN Settings for GloAPN: gloflat
username: web (or leave blank) passord: web (or leave blank) access number: *99#

APN Settings for AirtelAPN: internet.ng.airtel.com
username: web (or leave blank) passord: web (or leave blank) access number: *99# (similar to the settings for BIS on PC )

APN Settings for MTNAPN:web.gprs.mtnnigeria.net
username: web (or leave blank) passord: web (or leave blank) access number: *99#

APN Settings for EtisalatAPN: etisalat
username: web (or leave blank) passord: web (or leave blank) access number: *99#

[4] TRY REINSTALLING THE SOFTWARE OR DASHBOARD IN SAFE MODE

You can kindly unistall the modem software (dashboard) and try re-installing it in a Safe Mode (...I guess you're already know how to do this ).It's as simple as holding or taping F8 on your PC before window loads... just as soon as you press the power button or press F1 on our desktop and type Safe mode to search for more info)

[5] MAKE SURE YOUR FIREWALL IS NOT BLOCKING YOUR MODEM SOFTWARE TO CONNECT DIRECTLY TO THE INTERNET

You should also make sure that your firewall is not preventing internet connect from your device. You can do a proper check and try connecting again.

[6] MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A DATA PLAN THAT IS ACTIVE FROM EITHER GLO, ETISALAT, MTN, OR AIRTEL E.T.C

Getting a data plan of your choice should not be your problem, 'cus all through this blog, I have littered and exhausted i know about available data plan on all network.
I guess you should Check:

Glo Recent Data Plan

Aitel BIs Data Plan On PC

Etisalat Data Plan for BIS

Mtn New Data Plan With Extensive Validity

[7] THEN YOU CAN TRY OTHER SIMS TO CHECK IF IT IS SIM PROBLEM. NOT ALL SIMS CAN BROWSE

Yes, Its true, not all SIM can browse no matter what you do to that SIM. All SIMs are made differently

[8] CHECK IF MORE THAN ONE MODEM IS INSTALLED ON YOUR SYSTEM AND DELETE THE ONES YOU DON'T NEED.

It has happened to me. I installed several modems on my PC. When I tried connecting it says "device disconnected", when I uninstalled all the modems, I installed only one and it started working. I noticed also that, it also work on USB ports and doesn't work on the other. But after the above step, it all got solved.You can uninstalled them from your control panel through uninstallation.

[9] YOU CAN RESTART YOUR SYSTEM AND TRY CONNECTING ONCE AGAIN.

If you've done the above steps, then you can quickly do a restart so as to beginning connection on a fresh note

[10] FINALLY YOU CAN EITHER FLASH AND RE-INSTALL THE MODEM FIRMWARE OR DO AN UPDATE.

You should do this if only the above mentioned steps proved abortive. This very steps helps you to flash, re-install and update to your modem's firmware and Dashbord. This is the final antidote to any stubborn modem.

THE EASIEST WAY TO USE YOUR iPHONE AS A 3G MODEM

The use of Iphone to surf the web brings a unique user web browsing experience and is for sure very cool for anyone maximize full use of its internet capability.

Althrough this blog I have taken my time to explain ways to Connect mobile phones with PC so as to access the internet to browse free. Infact one of the foremost reasons why I initiated this blog was to showcase all the experiments I have made in trying to connect mobile devices and PCs to surf the net at a little or no cost price.

For many Iphone users who want to do more than syncing files from their Mobile to PC with their IPhone must have at one point or the other wondered in their wildest imagination how to use it(iPhone) also as a Modem.

Using a phone as a modem is not a new technology to any tech savvy individual. But taking the advantage of the 3G enabled capability found in an Iphone so as to use it as a modem is what makes this post a little bit different.

In connecting your Iphone to your MAC/PC computer as a modem, "Tethering" is the word you should get familiar with.

this means you're able to your connect Iphone directly to your PC with a USB cable or Wireless connectivity which involves the use of bluetooth without any Emulator or third party software ( for example; like the use of NOKIA or SAMSUNG PC SUITE or whatever) the same way you will do with your Zte or Huawei Modem so as to make use of your network's 3G data service.

Not so Fast, Do get a data plan of your choice to surf with and remember not to turn of Internet tethering until you are done with your browsing section on Ensure you have a large data quota to work with, as tethering uses much more data than browsing the Web on your iPhone does. If you regularly use tethering, we suggest a data allowance of at least 1GB per month.
