Project description
Delivering digital information to mobile devices using light
BrightCodes develops an innovative visible light communication (VLC) technology that uses LED lights to send information to mobile cameras in a way not perceptible by the human eye. The active optical tags (BrightCodes) deliver high data-rates using just about 10 % the area of comparable QR codes. Static BrightCodes provide a convenient low footprint bridging mechanism between the offline and the online worlds in venues like exhibitions and physical retail. Yet, the most promising application of the technology is mobile proximity payments. Dynamic BrightCodes offer a cost effective, safe and much smaller alternative to ‘merchant-presented’ QR codes in POS terminals. The solution is fully compatible with any QR payment standard, thus it can be readily integrated into existing mobile wallet platforms.
Objective
BrightCodes has developed Dynamic BC - an innovative mobile content delivery platform that connects real-life objects to online content. BrightCodes’ solution is based on a proprietary visible light communication technology (VLC) that uses LED lights to send digital information to mobile devices in a way not perceptible by the human eye.
Dynamic BCs are ideal solutions for contactless payment systems and security access control infrastructures. First, they enable customers to complete contactless payments from any smartphone without the need for near-field communication, which is not available on all mobile devices. Moreover, Dynamic BCs are a safer alternative to QR codes. They transmit factory configured UIDs that are difficult to duplicate/alter, thus they are very secure. In the access control field, Dynamic BCs can be used to authenticate and grant access to authorized person who scans the LED-based tag with the phone, by sending tag ID and verifying the user data to a cloud server, which then operates a controller installed at the door. In a longer-term stage, to increase product scalability and internationalisation, BrightCodes aims to apply Dynamic BC solution also to Out-of-home (OOH) advertising and in-store retailers.
The proposed work in Phase 1 of the SME instrument fits into the company overall plan to reach the market by contributing the financial resources needed to plan a fast sound product development plan and its market uptake.
