1.条码:
条形码是一种广泛使用的方法,以计算机可理解的格式以图形方式存储信息。它使用行和空格来存储数字。可以通过计算机使用扫描仪(也称为条形码扫描仪)检索存储的号码。其中,它广泛用于零售,汽车租赁,住院治疗行业。

2. QR码:
QR码是用于存储数据的二维条形码。通过QR扫描仪对代码进行扫描,以访问存储在其中的信息。它们于1994年在日本开发。它们是水平和垂直存储多媒体数据(视频,音频,图片,链接等)的方法。

3.近场通信(NFC):
它是由Phillips和Sony于2002年推出的。 NFC是一种近场通信方法,在距离保持在4厘米或更短距离的2个设备之间传输数据时非常有用。它基于耦合(感应耦合)原理。
