What are QR codes?
• QR, Quick Response, codes are two dimensional barcodes that can be scanned with a mobile device that has a camera. Once the code is scanned the device is prompted to load a webpage, display text, or other data contained in the code.
• QR codes were first created by Denso-Wave, a Toyota subsidiary, in 1994 as a way to track manufactured parts. Denso-Wave holds the patent rights for QR codes, but instead of exercising them they decided to make the technology freely available.

Why QR Codes are Unique
• Unlike conventional barcodes that can only store information in a horizontal manner, QR codes can store information both horizontally and vertically.

• Conventional barcodes can typically store between 20 to 40 characters.
• QR codes can store up to a maximum of 7,089 characters

![Page 34: Making Smartphones Smarter in the Library: Reaching Mobile Users with QR Code](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/5485dda7b47959e20c8b4f5a/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Drawback and weaknesses
• Inconsistencieso Devices
Lighting level required Flash interference Device Browser
Some URL’s caught in a loop Display variances affect quality of information retrieval
experience o Readers
Variable performance Functionalities vary depending on device
o Partial decoding and decoding failures Contact information and phone number display as text rather
than information for an action to be performed

Assessment
• Tracking statistics in the cloudo Convenient and easy o Robust systems have been designed by
generator services to track usage for free unless terms of service change without
notice• Greening QR codes: the BeeTagg
experienceo Rethink o Recycle o Re-use
