Abstract

Disclosed are an apparatus and method of creating, displaying and utilizing quick response (QR) codes to perform processing an application on a mobile device and a control system network. One example method of operation may include identifying a user information parameter and generating a symbology code image that includes the user information parameter and displaying the symbology code on a mobile device display.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method, comprising:
identifying at least one user information parameter via a mobile device;
generating a symbology code image, via the mobile device, having a session identifier identifying a collaborative session with at least one invited guest, the at least one user information parameter used to access an annotation session of the collaborative session;
processing, via a controller, the symbology code image to identify at least one command control request, wherein the mobile device and the controller are communicably coupled;
utilizing the command control request to operate, via the controller, a remote electronic device to be used during the collaborative session; and
collaboratively editing the annotation session within the collaborative session by at least one user and the at least one invited guest.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one user information parameter is a control function used to operate the remote electronic device.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the remote electronic device comprises at least one of a light, motor control, computer application, relay, binary logic signal interface and a communications interface.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one user information parameter comprises a username, password and mobile device information.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
displaying the symbology code to a control device; and
automatically logging the mobile device into a communication network operated by the control device responsive to the displayed symbology code.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:
receiving wireless communication access at the mobile device responsive to logging the mobile device into the communication network.

7. An apparatus comprising:
a display; and
a processor communicably coupled to the display, and configured to:
identify at least one user information parameter,
generate a symbology code image having a session identifier identifying a collaborative session with at least one invited guest, the at least one user information parameter used to access an annotation session of the collaborative session;
process the symbology code image to identify at least one command control request,
utilize the command control request to operate, via the processor, a remote electronic device to be used during the collaborative session, and
collaboratively edit the annotation session within the collaborative session by at least one user and the at least one invited guest.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the at least one user information parameter is a control function used to operate the remote electronic device.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the remote electronic device comprises at least one of a light, motor control, computer application, relay, binary logic signal interface and a communications interface.

10. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the at least one user information parameter comprises a username, password and mobile device information.

11. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the processor displays the symbology code to a control device and automatically log a user into a communication network operated by the control device responsive to the displayed symbology code.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , further comprising:
a receiver receives wireless communication access responsive to logging the user into the communication network.

13. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium to store instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform:
identifying at least one user information parameter via a mobile device;
generating a symbology code image, via the mobile device, having a session identifier identifying a collaborative session with at least one invited guest, the at least one user information parameter used to access an annotation session of the collaborative session;
processing, via a controller, the symbology code image to identify at least one command control request, wherein the mobile device and the controller are communicably coupled;
utilizing the command control request to operate, via the controller, a remote electronic device to be used during the collaborative session; and
collaboratively editing the annotation session within the collaborative session by at least one user and the at least one invited guest.

14. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the at least one user information parameter is a control function used to operate the remote electronic device.

15. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the remote electronic device comprises at least one of a light, motor control, computer application, relay, binary logic signal interface and a communications interface.

16. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the at least one user information parameter comprises a username, password and mobile device information.

17. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the processor performs:
displaying the symbology code to a control device;
automatically logging the mobile device into a communication network operated by the control device responsive to the displayed symbology code; and
receiving wireless communication access at the mobile device responsive to logging the mobile device into the communication network.
