2. Choose the text or binary data to encode.
3. Choose one of the 4 error correction levels. A higher
ECC level will yield a barcode that tolerates more
damaged parts while preserving the payload data,
but will tend to increase the version number.
4. Encode the text into a sequence of zero or more Fig 2.2.2 QR Code
segments. A segment in byte mode can encode any
data, but using alphanumeric or numeric mode is
more compact if the text falls into these subsets.
5. Based on the segments to be encoded and the ECL,
choose a suitable QR Code version to contain the
data, preferably the smallest one.
6. Concatenate the segments and add a terminator.
The result is a sequence of bits.
7. Add padding bits and bytes to fill the remaining
data space.
8. Reinterpret the bit stream as a sequence of bytes,
then divide it into blocks. Compute and append
error correction bytes to each block. Interleave where W is an n ×k partition matrix, Q = {Q1, Q2,..., Qk} is a set

Problem P1 is solved by

for 1 ≤ l ≤ k, and 1 ≤ j ≤ m.
The basic algorithm to solve problem P is given as follows
(Selim and Ismail, 1984; Bobrowski and Bezdek, 1991):

Choose an initial Q0 and solve P(W,Q0) to obtain W0. Set t = 0.

Let Wt and solve P(Wˆ ,Q) to obtain Qt+1. If P(Wˆ ,Qt) =
P(Wˆ ,Q ), output
t+1 t and stop; otherwise, go to 3.

Let and solve P to obtain Wt+1. If P(Wt,Qˆ ) =

P(W ,Qˆ ), output W ,Q and stop; otherwise, let t = t + 1 and
t+1 t

go to 2.

Because P(·,·) is non-convex and the sequence P(·,·)

generated by the algorithm is strictly decreasing, after a
finite number of iterations the algorithm converges to a local
minimum point (SelimandIsmail,1984). The computational
cost of the algorithms O(Tkn) where T is the number of
iterations and n the number of objects in the input data set. Figure 4.1: Android Application
The k-means algorithm has the following important
properties: Figure 4.2 shows the products, stocks and availability let us
know the quantity.
It is efficient in processing large data sets.

It often terminates at a local optimum (MacQueen, 1967;

Selim and Ismail, 1984).
It works only on numeric values.
The clusters have convex shapes (Anderberg, 1973).
