A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by a computer to:
- scan an optical code having an optical code portion and an interactive portion;
- modifying the interactive portion of the optical code by adding content to the interactive portion associated with information represented in the optical code portion.
A system comprising a processing resource in communication with a non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon and executable by the processing resource to implement an image capture engine, a decoder engine, and a uniform resource locator (URL) engine, wherein:
- the image capture engine captures an image of an optical code and a plurality of characters in an interactive portion of the optical code;
- the decoder engine extracts a URL from an optical code portion of the optical code;
- the URL engine posts the plurality of characters to the URL from the optical code to create a posted URL.
A method, comprising:
- capturing, with a computing device, an image of a quick response (QR) code and a plurality of characters, each character represented in an interactive box surrounding at least a portion of the QR code;
- extracting a uniform resource locator (URL) from the QR code;
- scanning the plurality of characters;
- posting at least one of the characters represented by each of the plurality of characters to the URL from the optical code to create a posted URL;
- and
- opening a web page using the posted URL.
