An apparatus and method for an intelligent correlated scanning are provided. The method includes receiving, by a server, a first identifier of a scanned Mobile Code (MC) from a mobile station, determining, by the server, a second identifier of an MC correlated with the scanned MC based on the first identifier, and resolving, by the server, the first and second identifiers. The intelligent correlated scanning operation automatically identifies MCs that are correlated with the scanned MC such that the user's scanning experience is improved.
