COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHOD OF ENCODING TEXT ON MATRIX CODE SYMBOL, COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHOD OF DECODING MATRIX CODE SYMBOL, ENCODER FOR ENCODING TEXT ON MATRIX CODE SYMBOL, AND DECODER FOR DECODING MATRIX CODE SYMBOL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods of encoding and decoding text on a matrix code symbol.

SOLUTION: The encoding method includes receiving a predefined encoding value associated with each of one or more characters of a plurality of characters, and modifying the predefined encoding value associated with each of the one or more characters to obtain a corresponding modified encoding value. Thereafter, the one or more characters are encoded on a matrix code symbol using the corresponding modified encoding value. Further, the method of decoding the text on the matrix code symbol includes retrieving one or more encoded values from the matrix code symbol, and mapping each of one or more modified encoded values in the one or more encoded values with a corresponding predefined encoded value. Thereafter, the corresponding predefined encoded value is decoded to determine a corresponding character.
