  • the separator patterns are areas of whitespace that abut the finder patterns.
  • Alignment patterns are similar to finder patterns, but smaller, and are placed throughout the code. The number and position of the alignment patterns are determined based on QR code version (size). Larger QR codes require more alignment patterns. Timing patterns are dotted lines that connect the finder patterns. Dark blocks are a single black blocks that may be placed beside the bottom left finder pattern.

  • the system adds, or places, the data bits starting at the bottom-right of the matrix and proceeding upward in a column that is two blocks wide.
  • the code words, describing the input text have been converted into binary form. Blocks representing binary zero (or null) are shaded white, whereas blocks representing binary one are shaded black or any other color that is distinguishable from white.
  • a second two-module column immediately to the left of the first column and places the blocks from top to bottom. Whenever the current column reaches the edge of the matrix, the system moves on to the next two-module column and changes direction.
  • the system determines whether any additional data masking, bit- flipping, or an encryption scheme should be applied.
  • a mask pattern changes which blocks are dark and which are light according to a particular rule.
  • the purpose of this step is to modify the QR code to make it easier for a QR code reader to scan and to improve scan accuracy and/or to obfuscate the encoded data. If a module in the QR code is "masked," this means that if it is a light module, based on the code word, it should be changed to a dark module. Alternatively, if the module is a dark module, it should be changed to a light module. Masking simply means to toggle the color of the module.
  • Masking is only applied to code words (data blocks and error-code blocks) and are not applied to finder patterns, separator patterns, alignment patterns, timing patterns, and/or dark blocks.
  • An encryption scheme e.g., a hash function, may be applied to further scramble the bits/blocks so a third party cannot scan the code, only optical scanners that are configured to decode the specific encryption techniques.
