QR 1

QR codes are two-dimensional barcodes that were invented in 1994 by Denso Wave to track vehicles and parts during manufacturing. They have since become widely used to easily link and transfer information to smartphones. A QR code contains encoded text that directs a smartphone equipped with a QR reader app to take an action, such as opening a website, making a phone call, or sending a text message. QR codes can store up to 4,296 alphanumeric or 7,089 numeric characters of data and use error correction algorithms to help ensure accurate scanning. Common uses of QR codes include encoding URLs, phone numbers, or text messages.

What is a bar code?
A barcode is an optical machine readable representation
of data relating to the object to which it is attached.
What is QR code?
A two-dimensional bar code that is widely used
to encode & provide easy access to information.
 The QR code system was invented in 1994 by Toyota’s
subsidiary , Denso Wave.
 Initially used to track vehicles & for tracking parts during
manufacture.
 Now it’s also used to easy link and transfer information
on smart phones.
 The information in a QR code is typically some sort of
actionable text that directs the phone to take some sort of
action
User connects with
QR Code generator Print or link Smartphone or computer

It requires a QR scanner application which is to be


installed in smart phone or computer to decode the
information in QR code.
 QR codes are made up of black squares and white squares.
 Each of these squares is called a module.
 In every QR code, there are certain modules that must not
be covered or edited, else the code won’t scan.
Encrypted QR codes, which are not very common,
have a few implementations.
The QR App , manages encryption and decryption of
QR codes using the DES algorithm.
Error correction
 It has a function of an error correcting for miss reading
that white is black.
 It use the Reed-Solomon error correction algorithm
with four error correction levels.
 Capacity of a QRcode is determined by version , error
correcting level and encoding mode.
Level L (Low)
Level M (Medium)
Level Q (Quartile)
Level H (High)
The three large squares highlighted in red are
the position markers.
These tell the scanner where the edges of the
code are.
The smaller red square is an alignment marker.
The red strips of alternating black and white modules
are called timing patterns. They define the positioning
of the rows and columns.
The green sections determine the format. This tells
the scanner whether it’s a website, text message,
Chinese symbols, numbers, or any combination of
these.
The modules highlighted in blue represent the
version number.
Version 3 (33x33)
Version 1 (21x21) Version 2 (25x25) Version 3 (29x29)

Version 10 (57x57) Version 25 Version 40


(117x117) (177x177)
The information is read by a mobile phone equipped
with a QR code reader, which works in conjunction with
the phone's camera to decode the information.
 URL: A QR code can be used to encode the text of a URL, which will
be opened using the Web browser.
 Telephone Number: A QR code also may contain a phone number.
When the code is read, the phone's dialer will open with the number
filled in, and also the QR code can automatically place the call by
asking permission.
 SMS: A QR code may contain a mobile telephone number that is
ready to receive a text message. The QR code reader would prompt
the phone to open the messaging client, and would open a new
message that the user can compose and send.
 The QR code can store up to 4,296 alphanumeric or 7,089 numeric
characters.
