Solution Overview

Problem

Current 2D codes lack the ability to reflect a unique style of an application, leading to low recognizability.

Innovation Solution

A 2D code display method that includes a first primary positioning point above a second primary positioning point, where the first point has a preset color and the second point has a representative color of the application, enhancing the 2D code's aesthetic appearance and enabling quick recognition of its origin.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional 2D code design is used, then the code structure is simple and easy to generate, but the code lacks unique application style and has low recognizability

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproverecognizabilityVSAvoidcode structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating the appearance of positioning points based on their function. The first positioning point uses a preset color for structural stability, while the second positioning point uses a representative color of the application for identification. This allows the 2D code to maintain its functional simplicity while incorporating application-specific visual characteristics that improve recognizability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes color changes by introducing a representative color specific to each application into the positioning points of the 2D code. The second positioning point is displayed in the application's representative color, enabling users to quickly identify which application generated the code. This color differentiation transforms the previously uniform appearance into a recognizable brand identifier without compromising the code's scanning functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

2Reliability

If application-specific colors are added to 2D codes, then the recognizability and aesthetic appearance improve, but the code complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication identification accuracyVSAvoidpositioning point arrangement
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the positioning point into two distinct parts: the first positioning point with preset color for structural function, and the second positioning point with representative color for application identification. This segmentation allows each component to serve its specific purpose independently, maintaining the overall simplicity of the 2D code structure while adding application-specific characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges two positioning points at the same location to achieve dual functionality. The first positioning point provides structural stability for code recognition, while the second positioning point adds application identification through color. By merging these two elements at the same position, the patent achieves application-specific recognition without increasing the overall complexity or size of the 2D code structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
