Bianchi Honda recently started using QR Codes in our newspaper advertisements and on our pre-owned vehicle windows to give customers access to free Carfax reports and used car photos from their phone. Not sure what QR Codes are? Quick Response Codes, better know as QR Codes are two-dimensional barcodes which can be utilized for a wide variety of applications. Originally developed to be able to quickly scan and identify auto parts, QR Codes now see practical use on everything from movie and promotional posters to business cards and billboards.
Through the use of a QR Code reader, or any mobile phone with a built-in camera and reader application, users can decode the information presented in just a few seconds and be shown a specific web address, text, or contact information.
In the case of smartphone applications, the decoded message can automatically open a web browser and direct users to a website, or it can automatically prompt the user to save the contact info into their phone.
Where Can I Get A QR Code Reader, and How Do I Use It? If you have a modern mobile phone with a camera, chances are someone has written an app for you. There are several readers for each major smartphone OS (Operating System) - Android, iOS, BlackBerry, and Windows Phone 7 - as well as Symbian and even Java-based phones.
It is easy to search for and find an application for your device which will handle QR Codes. Once you have a reader installed, simply open the app and point your phone’s camera at the QR Code and snap a picture of it. Within a few seconds (depending on your app and your phone’s internet speed), the message will be translated and you may be prompted to visit a website, add contact date to your phonebook, or read a message.
