QR Code Image Region Arrangement and Regeneration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for generating two-dimensional information codes, such as QR codes, lack the ability to freely insert and arrange images within the code region, leading to limitations in size, shape, and overall design matching user requirements, thereby impairing user convenience.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that allow users to visually grasp and specify the arrangement of an image display region within the code, enabling the generation of information codes with customizable image placement, shape, size, and relative positioning relative to specification patterns, using an input unit to receive user inputs for arrangement and regeneration of the code.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If existing methods for generating two-dimensional information codes are used, then the code can be generated with standard structure, but the image arrangement cannot be freely customized, leading to poor matching with user requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic adjustability of the image display region by allowing users to freely specify the position, size, and shape of the image insertion area within the two-dimensional code. The system dynamically regenerates the code structure based on user inputs, enabling the image region to adapt to different user requirements while maintaining code functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables customization by allowing users to change multiple parameters of the image display region including position coordinates, size dimensions, and shape characteristics. The system processes these parameter changes and regenerates the information code accordingly, providing versatile image arrangement options without compromising code integrity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If fixed image arrangement in code region is used, then code generation is simple, but size and shape of displayed image cannot be matched with user requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the code generation process based on user-specified image parameters. When users define custom size and shape for the image display region, the system dynamically recalculates and regenerates the code structure to accommodate these changes, transforming a static generation process into an adaptive one that responds to user requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a preview function that displays the code figure with the image arranged in the specified position, size, and shape before final generation. This preliminary visualization allows users to verify the arrangement meets their requirements, reducing the need for iterative adjustments and simplifying the overall process despite the enhanced customization capabilities.
3Adaptability or versatility
If standard code structure is used, then generation process is efficient, but overall design of final code does not match user requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a preview mechanism that generates a visual representation of the final code with the image arranged according to user specifications before actual code generation. This preliminary action allows users to verify the overall design matches their requirements, reducing iterative regenerations and optimizing the time investment despite enhanced customization options.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides visual feedback through the preview display, showing users how their specified image arrangement parameters will appear in the final code. This feedback mechanism allows users to adjust their parameters based on the preview and ensures the final generated code meets their design requirements, reducing wasted regeneration cycles.
Data Source
AI summary
A method and an apparatus for generating an information code is provided. In a generation apparatus, after data to be interpreted and data of an image to be displayed are acquired, a code figure that is provided with an image display region is generated and displayed on a display unit. After the code figure is displayed on the display unit in this way, when information designating an arrangement content of the image display region is inputted, an information code is generated. Specifically, an information code is generated in a form in which the image display region is newly arranged based on the arrangement content designated by the input, and a specification pattern region and a region to be interpreted are provided in positions other than that of the image display region. The information code generated in this way is displayed on the display unit.
