212-82 Exam - Question 25


Leo has walked to the nearest supermarket to purchase grocery. At the billing section, the billing executive scanned each product's machine-readable tag against a readable machine that automatically reads the product details, displays the prices of the individual product on the computer, and calculates the sum of those scanned items. Upon completion of scanning all the products, Leo has to pay the bill.

Identify the type of short-range wireless communication technology that the billing executive has used in the above scenario.

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is the technology where tags attached to products contain electronically-stored information that can be read by a compatible reader. In the provided scenario, the billing executive scans each product's machine-readable tag against a reader that reads the product details, displays prices, and calculates the total. This description fits the RFID technology, as it is commonly used in retail for inventory management and checkouts.

Explanation: QR Codes and Barcodes: These codes are machine-readable tags that contain information about the product or item to which they are attached. A quick response code, or QR code, is a two-dimensional code that stores product information and can be scanned using smartphones, whereas a barcode comes in both one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) forms of code

QR codes and barcodes are not short-range wireless communication technologies. They are considered optical scanning technologies.

QR Codes and barcodes are listed under short-range wireless communication (page 1562), and the description matches the question perfectly. There are no tags used in NFC (maybe RFID, but not NFC), NFC communication is done between two devices to "exchange" information, RFID is for identification... IMHO

Wireless doesn't mean to be readio frequency alone, it can be optical bar code reader too. So As per CCT book machine radable tag most of the time QR codes or 2D bar code. Thus, correct answer is D.
