Information processing device, its control method, and program

Abstract

In an information processing device that has both barcode display and screen color inversion functions, if the barcode is also displayed with color inversion, the barcode reader will not be able to correctly recognize the barcode. [Solution] The system sets either a first mode that outputs an image with standard color information or a second mode that outputs an image with the color information inverted, and determines whether the image contains a code image that indicates a code. If the second mode is set and it is determined that the image contains a code image, the system outputs an image in which everything except the code image of that image is inverted.
