Information about the QR Code
QR Codes are two-dimensional bar codes in which information is depicted by black and white dots (so-called "square data dots" or "data pixels"). If the contrast between foreground and background is high enough and the image is not inverted, it is also possible to use colors. 2D barcodes can be compared to one-dimensional barcodes, as seen on products in supermarkets. In contrast to these barcodes, QR graphics can contain up to 3000 characters on a relatively small space. The information for the QR Code is encoded according to ISO/IEC 18004:2006. The high density of information and many available reader application make QR Codes an ideal marketing instrument: QR Code reading apps are available for almost every smartphone with a camera (e.g. iPhone, Google Android, Blackberry, Symbian). The graphic can also be scanned and decoded with older cell phones with a camera ??there is free software (e.g. i-nigma) even for less widespread platforms.
The history of QR Codes
The QR Code was invented for the automotive industry. Toyota asked their supplier Denso Wave to develop a barcode for safely and easily identifying components. QR generators were originally used in industry. Because of the outstanding error correction performance (they can be read even if up to 30% of the surface are destroyed) and a lot of applications, the QR Code quickly made its way around the world.
QR碼簡介
QR碼（學名為快速響應矩陣碼；Quick Response Code）是二維條碼的一種，於1994年由日本DENSO WAVE公司發明。QR來自英文Quick Response的縮寫，即快速反應，因爲發明者希望QR碼可以讓其內容快速被解碼。QR碼最常見於日本，為目前日本最流行的二維空間條碼。QR碼比較普通條碼可以儲存更多資料，亦無需要像普通條碼般在掃描時需要直線對準掃描器。
