What is QR code made up of?
To begin with, a QR code (Quick Response code) is square shaped chequered pattern with a prescribed length & width of 2cms respectively and secondly while generating a QR code, it must be saved either in a .png or svg format.
Several important modules make up the QR code, which are as follows :
Finder pattern : these are the small squares located on 3 corners of the main square. The fourth corner is not allotted any finder pattern. The purpose of this pattern is to enable the scanner to recognise the QR code.
Separator : It is the white space which all must have noticed next to small squares that measure one pixel in width.
Timing pattern : These are special black and white modules, arranged in an alternate fashion. The objective of this timing pattern is to facilitate the scanner in finding the width of a single module.
Alignment pattern : Helps in correcting the distortion of the QR code when used by a scanner.
Format information : This module hosts 15 bits adjacent to separators and houses all the information pertaining to error.
Data : This module encloses the relevant data (information) about the product. Usually the data size limit is 7089 numeric characters, but for the data metrics 3116 characters are permitted.
Quiet zone : This helps the QR code scanner to distinguish the QR code from the surroundings.
Version information : Displays the version of the QR code (out of 40 versions)
