What is QR code and how does it work?
QR codes are very common these days, providing people with a convenient way to share information. These black-and-white squares are widely used in restaurants and stores, as well as on all kinds of print advertisements. The QR code is short for “Quick Response Code,” and these simple codes have become a useful tool in the smartphone era.
The QR code was released in 1994 by a Japanese company called Denso Wave. However, the research that went into the QR code’s development dates back to the 1960s. During that time, barcodes were becoming widespread in Japanese supermarkets. However, barcodes had some limitations. The biggest problem was that barcodes could not contain as much information as people would like. After becoming aware of the problem, Denso Wave’s development team created a new two-dimensional code that suited the needs of the public better, and this became known as the QR code.
QR codes can be scanned from any angle and can contain much more information. They were first used in Japan’s automotive and shipping industries. With the invention of camera phones, the application of QR codes has expanded globally.

解惑行動條碼的運作原理。
如今,行動條碼非常普遍,提供人們一種便捷的方式來分享資訊。這些黑白方塊廣泛地被應用在餐廳和商店中以及各種平面廣告上。QR code 是 Quick Response Code 的縮寫,這些簡單的程式碼已成為智慧型手機時代的實用工具。
行動條碼是由一家名為 Denso Wave 的日本公司於 1994 年推出。然而,投入於行動條碼開發的研究可以追溯至 1960 年代。在那段時間,條碼在日本超市變得越來越廣泛。然而,條碼有一些限制。最大的問題是條碼無法包含所有人們需要的資訊。意識到這個問題後,Denso Wave 的開發團隊創建了一種新的、更符合大眾需求的二維碼,這就是所謂的行動條碼。
行動條碼可以從任何角度掃描,並且可以包含更多資訊。它們首先用於日本的汽車和航運業。隨著拍照手機的發明,行動條碼的應用已在全球擴展。
