Description

Visualized action bar code and its identification method

The invention relates to a visualized action barcode and a recognition method thereof, in particular to an action barcode identification technology capable of combining information coding and visual totem communication.

With the establishment of the mobile intelligent communication platform, smart phones and tablets are favored by consumers. Furthermore, the QR Code (Quick Response Code) scanner application is the most popular in the 2D barcode application for smart phones and tablets. Since the QR code is a two-dimensional bar code, it is possible to have more coding capacity than the conventional one-dimensional bar code. Since QR code is already a mature application technology, it has a wide range of applications, such as inventory management tracking, automated text transmission, digital content download, telephone speed dialing, web page automatic guidance, identity authentication, and business transactions. The purpose of the use. In addition, the related art field is implementing the anti-counterfeiting mechanism of the QR code, which links the QR code on the commodity to the transaction website, and the system sends back the QR code as the purpose of purchasing the identity identification after the payment is completed. On the other hand, other related technical fields provide products and brand confirmation services, which are linked to the unified verification center through QR codes, and then check whether the product information is correct, and provide production history for consumers to inquire, so that consumers can Understand the details of the product.

Further, the appearance of the QR code is substantially a square pattern, and a coding pattern composed of a plurality of blocks of black and white and two colors in a pattern. And printed on the 3 corners of the code pattern A pattern of "back" type. The three "back" word patterns are used to assist in decoding the software positioning coding pattern, so that the user can read and decode the encoded data correctly without scanning at any angle without precise alignment. Although the QR code does not need to be aligned with the scanner as the one-dimensional bar code is scanned, the speed and convenience of the operation scan can be improved. However, the conventional QR code does not have a visualized totem setting. Therefore, the effect of conveying and distributing visualized totems (such as trademarks, symbols, and patterns) cannot be achieved, thereby reducing the application range and practicability of the QR code.

In order to improve the above-mentioned shortcomings, Yahoo (YAHOO), a well-known Internet industry operator, has developed a QR code with a visual totem. The visualized totem is a square block with a deep purple color. The square block is printed with "Y! The English word or other pattern of NEWS』 can combine the information coding and the effect of visualizing the totem; however, the color of the square block is dark tones, so that the square block will completely block the barrier. The coding pattern is relatively easy to affect the performance of the scanning and decoding of the smart phone and the tablet computer, so that it takes a lot of scan interpretation time, which is more likely to cause decoding errors, thus causing inconvenience in bar code scanning operation. Troubled.

The reason is that the above-mentioned conventional structure is indeed not perfect, and there is still a need for further improvement. In view of this, the applicant is actively engaged in research and development, and through continuous research, design and implementation, the research and development results of the present invention are finally achieved. .

The first object of the present invention is to provide a visualized action bar code, which mainly uses a visualized totem of light color or gray tone color which is easy to recognize, so that the coding area is not blocked by the totem, and therefore, in addition to the information coding function. And it has the functions of trademark marketing and conveying the idea and impression of spreading totem. Technical means to achieve the first purpose, including The first coding module captured and identified by the computer device, the first coding module comprises a plurality of arranged black blocks and a coding pattern composed of white blocks, wherein the first coding module is directly superimposed on the visualization totem The totem has a light color or a gray scale and is easy to recognize the color tone of the first coding module, so that the first coding module is not blocked by the totem, and does not affect the computer device to capture and recognize the first coding module. Function, you can achieve the effect of both information coding and visual totem communication.

A second object of the present invention is to provide a method for recognizing a visual action bar code, which is mainly to use a visualized totem of light color or gray tone color which is easy to recognize, so that the coding area is not blocked by the totem, thereby achieving both information. The code and the impression of the totem convey the effect of the spread. The technical means for achieving the second objective is to provide a computer device, a database, and a visual action bar code, wherein the computer device has an image capture module, a signal processing module and a display screen; The data library is configured to capture the object data corresponding to the first encoding module; the image capturing module captures the image of the first encoding module; and the signal processing module images the first encoding module and The second encoding module image performs image processing and decoding, and searches the database for the object data corresponding to the first encoding module, and then displays the corresponding object information by the display screen.

A third object of the present invention is to provide a visualized action bar code for converting a totem into a second coding mechanism. In addition to having both information coding and totem impression transmission, the totem image recognition technology can be used to convert the totem into The second code, in order to increase the capacity density of the code available, thereby improving the practicality and application of the industrial and commercial field. The technical means for achieving the third purpose includes a first encoding module that can be captured and identified by a computer device, and the first encoding module includes a plurality of arranged black blocks and a coding pattern composed of white blocks, wherein An encoding module is superimposed and superimposed on the visualization totem, and the totem has a light color or a gray scale and is easy to Identifying the color tone of the first encoding module, so that the first encoding module is not blocked by the totem, and does not affect the function of the computer device to capture and recognize the first encoding module, wherein the totem is available for the computer a second encoding module recognized by the device, when the computer device sequentially decodes the first encoding module and the second encoding module, the display screen of the computer device can display one and the first An encoding module and object information corresponding to the content of the second encoding module.
