It depends. In the patent in question the text of the abstract indicates it has to travel over the internet.

"A camera-enabled cell phone that is adapted to image a machine readable code such as a bar code, decode the bar code, send the bar code data over the Internet to a resolution server that will return an associated URL that will link the camera phone to content on an information server"

I think though that some of there other patents may still cover the QR code stuff, but I'll have to wait until I get home from work to really think about it.
