DEVICE AND ITS USE FOR CREATION, OUTPUT AND MANAGEMENT OF 2D BARCODES WITH EMBEDDED IMAGES

摘要

Provided is a Device, a System, applications and an associated Ecosystem for the consistent and reliable production, creation, generation, management and utilization of two-dimensional (‘2D’) barcodes (‘Codes’) featuring embedded Images, designating the alignment position and alignment size of the embedding Images in 2D Codes and enabling the corresponding outputted Code files by the Device System to be downloaded and or showcased digitally within all forms of digital advertising, media, television, mobile telephony and the world wide web as well as integrated with the production processes for consumer products and packaged goods, printed products, merchandise and other items featuring such 2D Codes creating a public telecommunications platform and or private intranet services featuring a searchable database, directory and or registry of the 2D Codes with embedded Images that have been created by, produced by and outputted by the Device or System.

主权项

1. A system for producing a 2D (2-Dimensional) code with an embedded image for an automated machine generated process, comprising a processor that produces the 2D code with an embedded image by:
i) obtaining character string information to be encoded for a 2D code and graphic data to be embedded in the described 2D code; ii) reducing the obtained character string information; ii) generating a 2D code by encoding the obtained information; and iii) embedding the image of a predetermined size and optionally alignment at a predetermined location on the 2D code, wherein the image is of a size and alignment that allows for the code to be decoded properly.
