A HIGH RESOLUTION GRAPHICAL CODE IMAGING SYSTEM

摘要

A high resolution imaging system for scanning graphical codes on an object to obtain the encoded information in the graphical code. The graphical code is used to encode information. The information can include reserved symbols, where the reserve symbols are universal or specific manufacturing defined routines. The reserved symbols can be used to encode the format or standard for electronic data interchange. The graphical code can also be used on a credit card to allow a user to scan the graphical code to obtain the account number for the credit card. The graphical code can be limited in size in one dimension thereby allowing the graphical to the same size as the text on an object. The system requires a high resolution imaging system to scan the graphical code. After a graphical code is scanned, a processor is used to process and decipher the graphical code.
