What Is Screen Code Reading Capability?

Screen code reading capability refers to whether a scanning module can reliably read QR codes displayed on mobile phone screens, including payment codes (Alipay, WeChat Pay, Apple Pay), health codes, e-tickets, and membership cards . This functionality is critical for mobile payment and self-service applications where users present their phones for authentication or transaction completion .
