Solution 1 - Qr Code

A summary of the specification is here:

  * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_code

    Numeric only 	Max. 7,089 characters (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
    Alphanumeric 	Max. 4,296 characters (09, A–Z [upper-case only], space, $, %, *, +, -, ., /, :)
    Binary/byte 	Max. 2,953 characters (8-bit bytes) (23624 bits)
    Kanji/Kana 	Max. 1,817 characters

The specification itself is here:

As far as "more space", you should think of the QR code as a "link", or a "shortcut" to your URL. Clicking the QR code brings the user to web site; once they're there, you have as much space as you want.

Solution 2 - Qr Code

QR codes come in various standardized sizes, but the largest is version 40 which can store about 2,953 bytes. 2953 character is the maximum that you can store within a single QR code
