 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 

==A QR Code is a [|matrix] [|barcode] (or [|two-dimensional code]), [|readable] by QR [|scanners], [|mobile phones] with a[|camera], and [|smartphones]. The code consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on white background. The information encoded can be text, [|URL] or other data.== ==Common in [|Japan], where it was created by [|Toyota] subsidiary [|Denso-Wave] in 1994, the QR code is one of the most popular types of two-dimensional barcodes. QR is the abbreviation for Quick Response, as the creator intended the code to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed.[|[1]==
