    QR Codes for Authors - Guy Anthony De Marco

    Information

    QR Code Background

    The Quick Response Code, otherwise known as the QR Code, was invented in 1994 by Denso Wave, a subsidiary corporation of Toyota. The original purpose of the two-dimensional code was to track parts running through the assembly line.

    Barcodes, used before the QR Code was invented, are scanned by a beam of light from one end to the other. Orientation is important to read a barcode properly. Most printed books have their ISBN number located on the cover using a barcode. Because the orientation is important, as well as the limited amount of data that can be encoded in them, barcodes work well for small amounts of information on items that can be fed into the scanning beam properly.

    QR Codes are scanned as a complete image. The image is processed by software, and the resulting encoded data can be acted upon by the computer system. The software can decode the data very quickly. If the codes are used on an assembly or shipping line, the individual items can trigger equipment to re-route them to different areas or conveyor belts without interference
