Benefits of technology

The patent describes a method for downloading and regenerating a code to reduce errors. The code can be downloaded for free or at a reduced cost compared to a high-quality file. The method also involves aligning the code and adjusting the graphical data to minimize errors. Overall, this approach improves the accuracy and reliability of embedded codes.

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, without conducting readout processing (decoding of the 2D Codes), it is not possible to infer the encoded information.
Consistent placement of an Image on and or within a 2D Code in a uniformed and reliable manner so as to not negatively impact ‘readability’, however, is not easy.

Embodiment Construction

[0099]Provided is an automated process for embedding an Image in a 2D Code. The Image is embedded so a single file with the Image and the 2D core are obtained. The Image can be put on the Code in a fashion that covers over existing Code pixels or alters pixel arrangement or is even placed on a blank space within the Code. There can be a designated ‘safe area’ within the interior of the Code so that the Code still is able to be decoded reliably, typically the ‘safe area’ will emanate from the center of the Code for aesthetic purposes but can be situated by the System to even be located partial within the Code and partially outside the Code.

[0100]‘Code-creator’ refers to an individual utilizing the Device System to output, meaning create and store, a 2D Code with an embedded Image.

[0101]‘End-user’ refers to whoever is scanning the Code with a smartphone, mobile tablet, e-reader or other compatible web-connected Device equipped with a digital camera.
