QR code decoding and analysis
Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable media are configured to perform operations comprising obtaining, by a server system, encoded data in a URL contained in a code associated with a test performed on a communications network; decoding, by the server system, the encoded data to determine at least one of measurement data or contextual data associated with the test; providing, by the server system, the at least one of measurement data or contextual data on a page for presentation on a computing device.
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
obtaining, by a server system, encoded data in a URL contained in a code associated with a test performed on a communications network and by a test device provided by an entity in control of the server system;
decoding, by the server system, the encoded data to determine at least one of measurement data or contextual data associated with the test; and
providing, by the server system, the at least one of measurement data or contextual data on a page for presentation on a computing device, wherein the computing device does not store software of the entity.
2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the code is a QR code generated by the test device that performed the test.
3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the computing device stores a QR code reader and a browser.
4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the page is generated and revisable by a website associated with the server system.
5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the URL includes abbreviated expressions of parameters and does not include full expressions of the parameters, the decoding comprising:
converting the abbreviated expressions of parameters into the full expressions of the parameters.
6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the URL includes parameter values for a type of test and does not include parameters associated with the parameter values, the decoding comprising:
determining parameters associated with the parameter values based on the type of test.
7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
providing a plurality of sharing options on the page; and
communicating information on the page based on selection of a sharing option of the plurality of sharing options.
8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
detecting an exception when the at least one of measurement data or contextual data extracted from the URL is inconsistent with information maintained in a data store associated with the server system.
9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein additional data can be added to the page by a field technician.
10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
providing on the page at least one of a field technician who performed the test, prior tests performed on the communications network, and results of the prior tests.
11. A server system comprising:
at least one processor; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the server system to perform operations comprising:
obtaining, by the server system, encoded data in a URL contained in a code associated with a test performed on a communications network and by a test device provided by an entity in control of the server system;
decoding, by the server system, the encoded data to determine at least one of measurement data or contextual data associated with the test; and
providing, by the server system, the at least one of measurement data or contextual data on a page for presentation on a computing device, wherein the computing device does not store software of the entity.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the code is a QR code generated by the test device that performed the test.
13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the computing device stores a QR code reader and a browser.
14. The server system of claim 11 , wherein additional data can be added to the page by a field technician.
15. The server system of claim 11 , wherein the page is generated and revisable by a website associated with the server system.
16. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a server system, cause the server system to perform operations comprising:
obtaining, by the server system, encoded data in a URL contained in a code associated with a test performed on a communications network and by a test device provided by an entity in control of the server system;
decoding, by the server system, the encoded data to determine at least one of measurement data or contextual data associated with the test; and
providing, by the server system, the at least one of measurement data or contextual data on a page for presentation on a computing device, wherein the computing device does not store software of the entity.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the code is a QR code generated by the test device that performed the test.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the computing device stores a QR code reader and a browser.
19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein additional data can be added to the page by a field technician.
20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the page is generated and revisable by a website associated with the server system.
