QR Code Gets Active for Lost Children

Fujitsu developed a new technology whcih allows for easily sending out notification messages by attaching QR Codes to things, people, etc.

Using this technology, in a few days, the compay will test a system for notifying parents about their lost children at Shima Spanish Village in Mie Prefecture. QR Codes are attached to children -- if they are lost, someone can use a scanner to read their QR codes.

The information encoded in the QR Codes includes the email address of a server machine. When it is scanned, the system automatically send email to the server, then the server notifies their parents using SMS.
