EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• The QR code system was initially developed around 1994 by Denso for inventory control and logistics and other applications in the automotive industry (Denso is a
Toyota Group company).Today QR codes are owned and managed by to Denso Wave Corporation.	

• QR codes have far higher flexibility and information density than traditional bar codes, allow immediate access to online information, and are trackable. QR codes are
“bar codes on steroids”.	

• QR codes were first introduced to mobile phones in Japan in August 2002, when the first Japanese mobile phone with QR code reader came on the market.	

• In the years since 2002, mobile tags based on QR codes have become an essential component of Japanese daily life:	

• QR codes are often the central focus of advertising campaigns. National advertising campaigns, small stores, and individuals use QR codes to guide customers/
friends/clients/partners to their online sites, or to distribute their contact information.	

• Important information in daily life is transmitted via QR codes.Vegetables are tracked to their producers using QR codes.	

• Japan’s government uses QR codes: Japan’s immigration service attaches visas, residence permits and work permits to passports using QR codes, building permit
information is displayed at building sites using QR codes, and the police searches for fugitives using QR codes.	

• Usage of QR codes is now growing explosively throughout the world

MORETHAN 30 2D-CODES
• We found more than 30 2D-codes currently mentioned, some have large usage currently, e.g. for airline baggage
control, or railway ticketing, or parcel delivery - however it is certain that some of the 2D codes will not survive.	

• Apart from mathematical quality of encoding, aspects are:	

• whether a particular code is standardized or not	

• market share and size of installed base	

• whether the encoding is open-source or secret	

• whether a particular code is patented and proprietary, and how these patent and other intellectual
property rights are managed, e.g whether a fee is payable for licensing the code, the software or readers or
other elements necessary for use

QR = QUICK RESPONSE
• Quick response (= QR) code was developed by Denso Wave which at that time was a division of Denso Corporation. Denso Corporation
is a car parts manufacturer in theToyota Group.	

• QR Code was initially released in 1994 with the primary purpose of being easily read and decoded by scanning equipment.	

• Initially QR Code was developed and used in car parts management and for other logistics and data management applications.	

• QR Code and related developments are protected by patents owned by Denso Wave Corporation.	

• To our knowledge Denso Wave allows general usage of QR Code despite owning many patents around this invention. (For patent details
please contact Denso Wave Corporation directly - we do not warrant accuracy of information related to patents in this report).	

• A large proportion of Japan’s mobile phones have at least on built in camera, and most Japanese camera phones have built-in decoding
software applications for QR codes and conventional bar codes.	

• QR codes have rapidly become a very convenient method to input and output information from mobile phones.

FIRST MOBILE PHONE WITH
QR CODE READER IN 2002
The first mobile phone with QR recognition functionality was
J-Phone’s J-SH09, produced by SHARP, which went on sale
towards the end of August 2002.

From October 1, 2002, SHARP made software available to
create QR codes for use by J-SH09 and J-SH52 mobile
phones.	

!
Note: 	

the phone shown on the right hand side is actually the
SANYO J-SA51, which went on sale in October 2002, and is
very similar in shape and functionality to SHARP’s J-SH09, and
is suitable for QR decoding

QR CODES FOR
GOVERNMENT APPLICATIONS
Japan’s local and central government agencies use QR codes for
many purposes

QR CODE FOR GOVERNMENT APPLICATIONS
• The Government of Japan uses QR-codes for several years now for visa, residence permits and work permits for Japan.	

• Visa, residence and work permits for Japan are issued as labels which are glued into the passport.The permit labels
have printed information (visa type, length of stay, status of residence, visa number etc) and a QR-code. 	

• The QR-Code is in encrypted form, therefore ordinary QR-code readers built into mobile phones cannot read any
information	

• We believe that QR-codes for immigration and passport purposes have many advantages over the IC’s recently
embedded into passports, and which can be read at a distance electronically, and therefore represent a security risk,
since IC’s in passports can be potentially scanned fraudulently at a distance by non-Government agents, or even
criminals.	

• QR codes on the other hand are purely optical and cannot be read at a distance if the page containing the QR code is
not exposed. For this reason, and for other reasons, we believe that QR codes have advantages over RFID or NFC
solutions for passport and other government security applications

APPLICATION #100: QR CODETO DISPLAY BUILDING AND
CONSTRUCTION PERMITS
212
Each construction site inTokyo prominently
displays the building permit information, and other
related information.	

!
Below the official building information, two
versions of a QR code are displayed, which give
access to further information about the
construction site

APPLICATION #101: QR CODES FOR BORDER CONTROL
• Japanese entry visas, residence permits, and working permits are
represented in passports as stickers carrying a QR code.	

• The QR codes are encrypted and are not readable with
common cellphone QR code readers.	

• We assume that these QR codes include the basic visa
information (name, expiry, type of permit, number of permit) plus
a link to the files in government computer data base for further
follow-up.

QR codes are “bar codes on steroids”. • QR codes were first introduced to mobile phones in Japan in August 2002, when the first Japanese mobile phone with QR code reader came on the market. • In the years since 2002, mobile tags based on QR codes have become an essential component of Japanese daily life: • QR codes are often the central focus of advertising campaigns. National advertising campaigns, small stores, and individuals use QR codes to guide customers/ friends/clients/partners to their online sites, or to distribute their contact information. • Important information in daily life is transmitted via QR codes.Vegetables are tracked to their producers using QR codes. • Japan’s government uses QR codes: Japan’s immigration service attaches visas, residence permits and work permits to passports using QR codes, building permit information is displayed at building sites using QR codes, and the police searches for fugitives using QR codes. • Usage of QR codes is now growing explosively throughout the world 2

  • 66. (c) 2014 Eurotechnology Japan KK www.eurotechnology.com QR-code (19th edition) May 18, 2014 QR CODE FOR GOVERNMENT APPLICATIONS • The Government of Japan uses QR-codes for several years now for visa, residence permits and work permits for Japan. • Visa, residence and work permits for Japan are issued as labels which are glued into the passport.The permit labels have printed information (visa type, length of stay, status of residence, visa number etc) and a QR-code. • The QR-Code is in encrypted form, therefore ordinary QR-code readers built into mobile phones cannot read any information • We believe that QR-codes for immigration and passport purposes have many advantages over the IC’s recently embedded into passports, and which can be read at a distance electronically, and therefore represent a security risk, since IC’s in passports can be potentially scanned fraudulently at a distance by non-Government agents, or even criminals. • QR codes on the other hand are purely optical and cannot be read at a distance if the page containing the QR code is not exposed. For this reason, and for other reasons, we believe that QR codes have advantages over RFID or NFC solutions for passport and other government security applications 211
