QR Code Scanning PowerPoint

The document discusses QR codes including what they are, the two types, how they work, how to make one, and what information they can contain. QR codes consist of a black square and dots that can contain alphanumeric, numeric, binary, or Kanji patterns. There are static and dynamic QR codes, with dynamic allowing the short URL to be changed after generation. QR codes work similarly to barcodes and can be scanned using smartphone cameras. Information like websites, texts, contacts, and more can be stored in QR codes.

What is a QR code?
A QR code simply consists of a black square and dots.
That, essentially, is what a QR code looks like. The
pattern on QR codes can be alphanumeric, numeric,
binary or Kanji (a form of Japanese character originated
from China).
Types of QR codes
In the development of QR codes, there are
two types which were created:

Static QR Code
 The destination site URL is placed directly
into the QR code and can’t be modified. This
QR code type is not as useful as the next
one.

Dynamic QR codes

 You use a short URL for the QR code which then


re-directs users to your destination site URL. This
short URL works like an intermediary that connects
the code with the data. After the QR code has been
generated, you can change the short URL.
How do they work?

A QR code works similarly as a


barcode in a supermarket, if you
have a smartphone, you just need to
scan it and can read the information
that has been transferred.

Both iphones and Android


smartphones can scan QR codes
directly from the main camera app.

You simply open the camera app


and point it toward the QR code, it
will “read” the code and show you a
push notification

What information can a QR code contain?
You can store a great amount of information. The most
popular information they contain are website addresses
and links which provide multimedia content like music,
image galleries, ect.

QR codes can contain short texts, SMS, all kinds of


URLs and websites (Youtube, Facebook, Instagram,
Homepages), contact details, telephone numbers,
email messages, WiFi access credentials, geo and
navigation data and much more. But consider that
not all of these data are scannable by any QR codes
reader.
