What is the QR kód
QR codes
are actually bar codes, know from goods packaging in shops. Unlike bar codes, which are created from lines, the QR codes are created from black-white blocks forming pictures of squared shapes. QR codes, thanks to their construction, are able to transmitt much more information that we can read.
We all know these bar codes, using for goods marking. The codes consist of numbers that are able to be read by readers and easily indentified. QR codes are very similar. They are also pictures, carrying the encrypted text information. What is different is the system of coding and also the number of symbols able to be coded with QR code. Any text information can be saved into the QR code. The codes are most frequently used to save internet websites or contact data.
