Ubiqod Interfaces
What is an interface?
Standard QR codes (QODs) and Ubiqod Key
For QODs and Ubiqod Key, an interface defines what will happen when the user scans the QR code with a smartphone.
Example: clocking in interface
Connected devices (IoT)
For connected devices, the interface provides a way to add metadata to the different type of events. For instance, you can add a label and a reference to a button of Smilio A.
