Progressive barcodes have been proposed as a mechanism to employ Data Matrix barcodes on a package or label to enhance security services for products in a supply chain by layering additional data into color channels. While the standards-based component of the code remains readable by the same equipment, the extra (color) layer requires additional processing to extract relevant information, communicate with appropriate database modules, etc. This paper examines the problem of extending the scope of applications addressable by this technique to a wider range of designs intended for mobile consumption. This challenge involves developing a scheme that can be naturally used by a greater number of mobile devices, as well as increasing the ease of adoption. The extension of progressive barcodes to the more ubiquitous QR code via embedding a compact Data Matrix code into the design is an approach for improving functionality of print and document workflows. The two barcodes can be used simultaneously for their most familiar purposes. Mobile processing allows us to leverage many more possible object-driven workflow touchpoints.
