CREATING A VIRTUAL BAR CODE FROM A PHYSICAL BAR CODE

摘要

In accordance with the present disclosure a portable computing device may scan a physical bar code, which may exist on some physical medium, such as paper, plastic, glass, etc. The physical bar code may be decoded to obtain decoded data, and the decoded data may subsequently be re-encoded to generate a virtual bar code. The virtual bar code may be rendered (e.g., on a display of a computing device, and/or on some type of physical medium) and scanned by a bar code scanner.

主权项

1. A portable computing device that is configured to:
scan a physical bar code that comprises an optical, machine-readable representation of information; decode the physical bar code to obtain decoded data; and re-encode the decoded data to generate a virtual bar code.
