<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To generate a code that uses characters allowing, even under information coding, a user to easily replicate it and orally communicate the coded content to others, and enables quick reading by a reading device such as a scanner. <P>SOLUTION: A character string generation device for generating a character string symbol comprising a plurality of lines of character strings comprises a conversion means for generating a character string from numerical information, a sign character insertion means for inserting corner sign characters in the beginning and end and predetermined intermediate positions of the character string generated by the conversion means, a character string division means for dividing the character string with the corner sign characters inserted by the sign character insertion means into a plurality of character strings, and a character string symbol generation means for quadrangularly arraying each character string divided by the character string division means to generate a character string symbol with the corner sign characters positioned in the four corners of the quadrangular character strings. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
