Why is the QR code invented by the Japanese so much less popular in their own country than in China?

China is mainly where mobile payment is more popular.

Today, the scale of mobile payment in China is unprecedentedly large, and it is even leading in the world. Many foreigners will be very envious after coming to China to experience China’s mobile payment. Among them, there is also a French After experiencing WeChat payment in China, he also sent an invitation to Ma Huateng, hoping that Ma Huateng would bring WeChat to France. Although mobile payment in China is now very developed, many people know that the QR code for mobile payment was not invented in China, but by a Japanese company called DW. However, this company did not pay attention to the QR code. QR code, so the popularity rate of QR code in Japan is not as high as that in China.

However, it is also because this QR code was invented by the Japanese, so some time ago, there were media reports that some netizens in Japan hope that Japan will reiterate its QR code patent and use this patent to attack China. The fee is charged at a rate of 1 cent per Chinese person. Of course, this idea is impossible to realize, because although the QR code was invented by the Japanese, the reason why it became popular in China is not because the QR code is very powerful, but because it has something to do with this man. He is Wang Yue, the founder of Inspiry, who is now known as the "Father of China's QR Code." If it weren't for him, perhaps the QR code technology in China and even the world would be as brilliant as it is today.

Wang Yue was originally working in Japan. By chance, he came into contact with QR codes. From then on, he had a strong interest in QR codes, but at that time, QR codes It is not as convenient as it is now. If you want to use QR codes, you need to buy a professional QR code scanning machine, and this machine is very expensive. This is probably why Japan is not optimistic about QR codes. In order to realize the value of QR code, Wang Yue founded Inspiry Company and eventually developed the world's first "mobile QR code engine". In the following time, Wang Yue won the "QR code engine". "Quick Code Reading Engine" patent, and participated in the establishment of China's QR code standard in 2005, so China's QR code technology has matured rapidly.

We all know what happened later. As China’s mobile phone business and Internet technology continue to mature, QR codes have become more and more important. Even today, QR codes are even more popular in China. It also has a lot to do with him. Of course, it is also because of him that if Japan really wants to collect patent fees, it is basically impossible, because the QR code is not the most important, and the scanning technology is the core. If it really collects money, it may be China collects money from other countries, but do you support scanning QR codes to collect patent fees? Everyone’s messages and comments are welcome
