Introduction

You walk towards your gate and find a car blocking the entrance.

Or you notice that a parked vehicle has been left with its headlights on.

Maybe a window is open, a tyre appears flat or something around the vehicle does not look right.

The vehicle owner may be only a few metres away, but there is usually one basic problem: how do you contact them?

Traditionally, there has been no simple answer.

A phone number written on the dashboard exposes personal information to everyone. Asking people nearby may take time. Waiting for the owner to return may not be practical.

BT Conexa's Vehicle QR Code is designed to create a more practical connection between a vehicle and the person who may need to reach its registered user.

A Vehicle Can Need Attention Even When There Is No Emergency

Not every vehicle-related situation is an accident.

Many are small everyday situations where a timely message or call can prevent inconvenience, damage or unnecessary worry.

Imagine noticing any of these situations:

A vehicle is blocking your gate or driveway.

Its parking lights or headlights have been left on.

A window appears to have been left open.

A tyre looks unusually low or completely flat.

The vehicle appears to be leaking something.

Someone is towing or attempting to move the vehicle.

The vehicle has been accidentally hit while parked.

An object has fallen near or onto the vehicle.

The boot or a door does not appear to be properly closed.

Something around the parked vehicle appears unusual and you simply want to inform its owner.

In many such situations, the person noticing the problem may genuinely want to help.

The missing link is communication.
