Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to introduce an integrated mobile tagging system, which can be used by consumers to retrieve product information about Genetically Modified Food (GMF) products in the market. In the proposed mobile tagging system, 2 dimensional Quick Response (QR) codes are adopted as the tag for identification purpose. Consumers can use the camera on their mobile phone to capture the image of the QR codes and send to the server for decoding. Subsequently, the server sends back the details of the GMF product in the form of Multimedia Message Service (MMS). This paper reviews and discusses various available tagging techniques, and thus justifies the appropriateness of QR codes to be used in the proposed system. Additionally, the paper presents the overall system architecture and system design of the proposed mobile tagging system.
