二维码、条码和NFC的区别

1. 条码：
条形码是一种广泛使用的方法，用于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。计算机可以使用扫描仪(也称为条形码扫描仪)检索存储的数字。其中，广泛应用于零售、汽车租赁、住院等行业。

2.二维码：
二维码是用于存储数据的二维条码。这些代码由 QR 扫描仪扫描，以访问存储在其中的信息。它们于 1994 年在日本开发。它们是一种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) ：
它由菲利普斯和索尼于 2002 年推出。 NFC 是一种近场通信方法，在保持 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(电感耦合)原理。

4.	It is a way of storing numbers in a printed and computer understandable format.	It is a type of 2D barcode or printed representation of data that can be scanned for data retrieval.	It is a communication protocol for communication between devices (electronic) within a distance of 4cm.
5.	It is used at stores for tracking all purchased items, in hospitals for tracking the records of patients, in rental cars business, and tracking of airline luggage, mails, and nuclear waste.	It is used in supermarkets, hospitals, cinema or by individuals, etc. for the transfer of data (sharing contacts, photos, videos, and other documents.).	It is used as identity cards, as key cards, and as a method of contactless payments and mobile payments in various sectors such as retail, automobile, cinema, etc.
6.	It is based on Morse Code technology.	It is based on Morse Code technology.	It is based on inductive coupling between antennas of the devices.
7.	It requires line of sight.	It requires line of sight.	It requires proximity (distance between the devices must be less than 4 centimeters, hence the name, Near field).
8.	Only one barcode is examined at once.	Only one QR code is examined at once.	Only one NFC is examined at once.
