The gateway to the internet for mobile
ColorCode Technology uses symbols like these below; they connect consumers to
content on the internet via camera enabled mobile phones and PDA’s
Free software called ColorCam, can be easily downloaded onto a mobile phone to
provide instant access to content by “capturing” a ColorCode
4. Software distribution
The decoding of ColorCode’s is achieved by using a small piece of software called
ColorCam™ on a mobile device.
This free software is either;
Preloaded onto manufacturers devices, e.g Sony Ericsson
Downloaded via sending an SMS to a short code in which case the software is sent to the
user’s device for immediate activation
Downloading via WAP (internet) where the software is sent to the users device for
immediate activation (as above)
Downloaded to a PC and sent by Bluetooth to the mobile device for immediate activation
Software file size varies depending on the platform but ranges from a very small 28kb to 100kb.
The software is compatible with Java, Symbian, Windows, Brew, UIQ platforms.
