QR Code Processing

QR Code Processing

QR Code Processing enables Remote Pro to parse QR codes regardless of their format by using Regular Expressions. Data from the QR code can be mapped to Breeze tokens and commands, making it possible to integrate with third-party systems that generate non-Breeze QR codes.

 

Setup

Enable Scan QR codes for strings and Scan QR codes for commands in Photobooth Settings, then click QR Code Processing…

 

Click Add Entry, select a Type from the dropdown, enter a Regular Expression, and assign a Value. Test your regex by entering data in the QR Test String field and pressing Test.

 

 

Types

Extracted data is mapped to a Type, which determines what happens with it:

 

Type Description
{qr1} – {qr10} Save data to a string token for use in print layouts, filenames, etc.
es1 – es5 Save data to an Event String
email, autoEmail, email cc Save email address and send emails
text, autoText Save phone number and send SMS messages
c1 – c5 Trigger a touchscreen action

 

Regular Expressions

The regular expression must match the whole QR string. To extract specific data, use capture groups.

 

Value

The Value field stores extracted capture group data using {1}, {2} etc. for each capture group. For command types, the value sets the command to execute.

 

Testing

Enter test data in the QR Test String field and press Test to see pattern matches and mapped results.

 

 

Examples

Example 1 — Trigger a Photo Session from Any QR Code

Type: c1 | Regex: (.*) | Value: photoStart

 

Example 2 — Extract First and Last Name

Type: qr1 | Regex: firstname=([^&]*)&lastname=([^&]*)&email=([^&]*)&id=(.*) | Value: {1} {2}

 

Example 3 — Switch Profile Based on 5th Character

Type: c1 | Regex: (.{4})(.)(.*) | Value: Profile{2}

 

Example 4 — Multiple Entries: Trigger Session, Extract Name, Email, and ID

Use four separate entries for the same QR code:

  1. c1 / (.*) / photoStart — trigger photo session
  2. qr1 / firstname=([^&]*)&lastname=([^&]*)&email=([^&]*)&id=(.*) / {1} {2} — store full name
  3. autoEmail / same regex / {3} — auto-send email
  4. qr2 / same regex / {4} — store unique ID
