Use multiplexing to increase information in QR code

In this paper a novel approach to multiplex data in QR Code is presented. This technique can increase the amount of data, as the original information, in QR Code as well as keeping secret information. The original data for encoding is divided into smaller parts, each part will form QR Code pattern in its standard form. Each pattern is encoded or multiplexed and represented each module in QR Code with black and white special symbols. At the receiving end, this QR Code with special symbols (that was multiplexed) is decoded to give back the number of QR Code patterns that was multiplexed. These QR Code pattern can be read by the general QR Code reader and the data can be concatenated back to form its original information.
