The implementation environment includes a two-dimensional code generation device 12, a two-dimensional code recognition device 14, and a reservation server 16.

The two-dimensional code generating device 12 may be a smart phone, a tablet computer, an e-book reader, an MP3 player (Moving Picture Experts Group Audio Layer III, motion Picture Experts compression standard Audio Layer 3), an MP4 player (Moving Picture Experts Group Audio Layer IV, motion Picture Experts compression standard Audio Layer 4), a laptop portable computer, a desktop computer, or the like; the system can also be a server, a server cluster consisting of a plurality of servers, or a cloud computing service center.

The two-dimensional code recognition device 14 may be a smart phone, a tablet computer, an e-book reader, an MP3 player (Moving Picture Experts Group Audio Layer III, motion Picture Experts compression standard Audio Layer 3), an MP4 player (Moving Picture Experts Group Audio Layer IV, motion Picture Experts compression standard Audio Layer 4), a laptop, a desktop computer, or the like.

The two-dimensional code recognition device 14 and the predetermined server 16 may be connected through a wireless network or a wired network.

The predetermined server 16 may be a server, a server cluster composed of several servers, or a cloud computing service center. The predetermined server 16 stores original information, a unique identification string and a binding relationship between the two.

The original information can be information such as website, business card and mail, and is source data for generating the two-dimensional code; the unique identification string is composed of a number of characters including at least one of letters, numbers and symbols.

Referring to fig. 2, a flowchart of a method for generating a two-dimensional code according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The present embodiment is exemplified by applying the two-dimensional code generation method to the two-dimensional code generation apparatus shown in fig. 1. The two-dimensional code generation method comprises the following steps:

step 202, acquiring original information;

step 204, generating a unique identification string corresponding to the original information;

step 206, binding the original information with the unique identification string;

step 208, sending a storage request carrying the original information, the unique identification string and the binding relationship therebetween to the predetermined server, so that the predetermined server stores the original information, the unique identification string and the binding relationship therebetween according to the storage request;

In summary, in the two-dimensional code generation method provided in this embodiment, the original information is bound with a unique identification string composed of a plurality of characters, the unique identification string is encoded to obtain the two-dimensional code, and the binding relationship between the original information and the unique identification string is stored by a predetermined server, so that the original information is obtained by the server by using the identified unique identification string in the identification process; the problems of complex pattern, slow recognition speed and low recognition success rate of the existing two-dimensional code are solved; the effects of simplifying the complexity of the two-dimensional code graph, high identification speed and high identification success rate are achieved.

Please refer to fig. 3A, which shows a flowchart of a method for generating a two-dimensional code according to another embodiment of the present invention. The embodiment is still exemplified by applying the two-dimensional code generation method to the implementation environment shown in fig. 1. The two-dimensional code generation method comprises the following steps:

301, acquiring original information by two-dimensional code generation equipment;

the original information can be web address, business card and mail. With the application fields of the two-dimensional codes becoming wider, the original information which can be represented by the two-dimensional codes also becomes richer.

Step 302, generating a unique identification string corresponding to original information by two-dimensional code generation equipment;

the unique identification string is composed of a number of characters including at least one of letters, numbers and symbols. For example, the unique identification string is 6 bits "abc 123"; or the unique identification string is 10 bits "abc 12 × de% 3", and so on.

The length of the unique identification string and the type of the contained characters determine the bearing capacity of the two-dimensional code generation device, wherein the bearing capacity refers to the number of the two-dimensional codes which can be generated by the two-dimensional code generation device. If the two-dimensional code generated by the two-dimensional code generation equipment consists of 3-bit numbers, the bearing capacity of the two-dimensional code generation equipment is 10^3 and is equal to 1000, namely the two-dimensional code generation system can generate one thousand different two-dimensional codes at most; if the two-dimensional code generated by the two-dimensional code generating device is composed of 4-bit letters and numbers singly or in a mixed manner, the carrying capacity of the two-dimensional code generating device is [ (26 x 2) +10] ^4 equal to 14766336, i.e. the two-dimensional code generating system can generate more than one thousand, four and ten million different two-dimensional codes at most.

That is, the larger the number and the larger the kind of characters constituting the unique identification string, the more kinds of two-dimensional codes that can be generated by the two-dimensional code generating apparatus. In practical application, in order to reduce the complexity of a two-dimensional code graph and not affect the bearing capacity of a two-dimensional code generation system, it is generally appropriate to select six-bit characters to form a unique identification string. In this embodiment, the unique identification string is "abc 123" as an example.

In a first implementation, this step may include the following two substeps:

firstly, randomly selecting a fixed number of characters from a preset character set consisting of at least one of letters, numbers and symbols;

secondly, randomly arranging the characters with fixed number to obtain a unique identification string.

Or,

in a second implementation, this step may include the following two substeps:

firstly, n random character strings which are different from each other and have fixed length are generated in advance, wherein the random character strings comprise a plurality of characters, and the characters comprise at least one of letters, numbers and symbols;

second, one is randomly extracted from the n random character strings as a unique identification string.

In a third implementation, this step may include the following two substeps:

firstly, mapping original information into a character string with a fixed length;

the fixed-length character string is unique, and the fixed-length character strings mapped by different original information are different. For any two different original messages, the corresponding fixed-length character strings are also different. The mapping method may be implemented by a hashing Algorithm such as the MD5 (Message-Digest Algorithm 5) Algorithm.

Secondly, taking a character string with a fixed length as a unique identification string;

step 303, binding original information and the unique identification string by the two-dimensional code generating equipment;

no matter how large the amount of information carried by the original information is, that is, no matter how many characters it contains, the two-dimensional code generating device can bind the original information with a unique identification string, that is, the unique identification string represents the original information. In this embodiment, any original information can be bound with a 6-bit unique identification string, and the binding relationship can be represented as [ abc123, original information ].

Step 304, the two-dimensional code generating device sends a storage request carrying original information, the unique identification string and the binding relationship between the original information and the unique identification string to a predetermined server;

correspondingly, the predetermined server receives the storage request sent by the two-dimensional code generation device.

Step 305, the predetermined server stores the original information, the unique identification string and the binding relationship between the original information and the unique identification string according to the storage request.

The predetermined server stores original information, a unique identification string and a binding relationship between the original information and the unique identification string so as to provide the original information for a user after the user reads a certain two-dimensional code.

In step 306, the two-dimensional code generating device generates the two-dimensional code by using the unique identification string as the content information of the two-dimensional code.

Generally, the generation process of the two-dimensional code is as follows: firstly, determining the type of each character in a plurality of characters contained in a unique identification string; then grouping the characters according to a specified two-dimensional code coding mode and converting the characters into a binary sequence, wherein in the code coding, the two-dimensional code applies the concept of '0' and '1' bit stream based on the internal logic of a computer, grouping the characters in the unique identification string, converting the characters into 8-bit binary sequence units one by one, and combining the 8-bit binary sequence units to obtain the binary sequence; secondly, constructing final data information according to the binary sequence and other data information for generating the two-dimensional code, wherein the other data information comprises: error correction levels, indicators, probe patterns, delimiters, positioning patterns, and correction patterns, among others; and finally, filling the final data information into the matrix area of the two-dimensional code to obtain the two-dimensional code.

It should be noted that step 306 is generally performed at the same time as step 304, that is, the two-dimensional code generating device generates the two-dimensional code while sending the storage request to the predetermined server, but in this embodiment, step 306 and step 304 are only divided into two steps, and step 304 is performed before step 306, which is not particularly limited.

It should be further noted that the two-dimensional code generation method provided in this embodiment also has a certain information security effect. After reading the two-dimensional code generated by the two-dimensional code generation method, the existing common two-dimensional code identification equipment reads only one unique identification string, and cannot obtain original information through the query of the unique identification string. For some specific two-dimensional code application occasions, the two-dimensional code generation method provided by the embodiment has the effect of keeping the original information secret.

For example, a two-dimensional code on an express bill of a certain express company is generated by the two-dimensional code generation method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, and only a dispatcher of the company can read information of the two-dimensional code and obtain original information by querying through the two-dimensional code recognition device provided by the embodiment of the present invention. The original information may be personal information such as the recipient's phone number and address. The common two-dimensional code identification device cannot obtain personal information such as the telephone and the address of a receiver, so that the two-dimensional code identification device has a good privacy effect on the personal information such as the telephone and the address of the receiver.

Please refer to fig. 3B, which illustrates the difference between the two-dimensional code obtained by directly encoding the original information and the two-dimensional code obtained by encoding the unique identification string corresponding to the original information. The original information contains 100 characters; and the unique identification string contains only the abc123 six-bit character in this embodiment.

In summary, in the two-dimensional code generation method provided in this embodiment, the original information is bound with a unique identification string composed of a plurality of characters, the unique identification string is encoded to obtain the two-dimensional code, and the binding relationship between the original information and the unique identification string is stored by a predetermined server, so that the original information is obtained by the server by using the identified unique identification string in the identification process; the problems of complex pattern, slow recognition speed and low recognition success rate of the existing two-dimensional code are solved; the effects of simplifying the complexity of the two-dimensional code graph, high identification speed and high identification success rate are achieved. Meanwhile, the two-dimensional code generation method provided by the embodiment also has the effect of keeping the original information secret.

Referring to fig. 4, a flowchart of a method for generating a two-dimensional code according to still another embodiment of the invention is shown. The embodiment is still exemplified by applying the two-dimensional code generation method to the implementation environment shown in fig. 1. The two-dimensional code generation method comprises the following steps:

step 401, acquiring original information;

Step 402, generating a unique identification string corresponding to the original information;

Step 403, binding the original information with the unique identification string;

Step 404, sending a storage request carrying the original information, the unique identification string and the binding relationship between the original information and the unique identification string to a predetermined server;

step 405, generating an identification feature of the unique identification string;

the identification feature is used for identifying that the content information of the two-dimensional code carries not original information but a unique identification string. The mark feature may be a short character string added before the unique identification string, a short character string added after the unique identification string, or other implementation forms. For example, the identifying feature is S, X or Z, etc.

Step 406, inquiring the address identifier of the address according to the address of the predetermined server and the predetermined corresponding relation;

the address identifier is used to distinguish addresses of different predetermined servers. For example, if the address of the predetermined server is http:// abc001.cn, the address identifier is represented as 001; if the address of the predetermined server is http:// abc002.cn, the address identifier is represented as 002; if the address of the intended server is http:// abc003.cn, the address identification is denoted 003, and so on.

The correspondence is a one-to-one correspondence between addresses of different predetermined servers and different address identifications. The two-dimensional code generating device stores in advance a correspondence between an address and an address identifier of a predetermined server, and the correspondence may be expressed as:

address of predetermined server	Address identification
		http://abc001.cn	001
http://abc002.cn	002
		http://abc003.cn	003
... ...	......

TABLE-1

Step 407, using the unique identification string as a part of content information of the two-dimensional code, using the identification feature as another part of information of the two-dimensional code, and using the address identification as another part of content information of the two-dimensional code to generate the two-dimensional code;

for example, the content information of the two-dimensional code may be represented as: s001abc 123.

The generation process of the two-dimensional code is described in detail in the embodiment shown in fig. 3A, and is not described here again.

It should be noted that the content information of the two-dimensional code may only include a unique identification string, such as: abc123 or def456, etc., and may also contain a unique identification string and identification features, such as Sabc123 or Sdef456, etc.; unique identification strings and address identifications may also be included, such as: 001abc123, 002abc123, or 003def456, and the like; unique identification strings, feature identifications and address identifications, such as S001abc123 or S003def456, and the like, may also be included. In this embodiment, only the content information of the two-dimensional code includes a unique identification string, a feature identifier, and an address identifier for example, which is not specifically limited. Because the unique identification string has uniqueness, the uniqueness of the content information of the two-dimensional code is ensured.

It should be further noted that steps 405 to 406 may be performed after steps 403 to 404; or may be performed simultaneously with steps 403 to 404; it may also be performed before steps 403 to 404. In this embodiment, only the steps 405 to 406 are performed after the steps 403 to 404 for illustration, which is not limited in particular.

In summary, in the two-dimensional code generation method provided in this embodiment, the original information is bound with a unique identification string composed of a plurality of characters, the unique identification string is encoded to obtain the two-dimensional code, and the binding relationship between the original information and the unique identification string is stored by a predetermined server, so that the original information is obtained by the server by using the identified unique identification string in the identification process; the problems of complex pattern, slow recognition speed and low recognition success rate of the existing two-dimensional code are solved; the effects of simplifying the complexity of the two-dimensional code graph, high identification speed and high identification success rate are achieved. The embodiment further identifies the identification feature of the unique identification string instead of the original information, which is carried in the content information for identifying the two-dimensional code; specifically, the identification feature may be an address identifier, which is used to distinguish addresses of different predetermined servers; the two-dimensional code identification equipment can judge whether the content information of the two-dimensional code read by the two-dimensional code identification equipment carries original information or a unique identification string; the application range of the two-dimension code generation method and the two-dimension code generation equipment is further expanded, and the universality effect of the two-dimension code generation method and the two-dimension code generation equipment is enhanced.

Referring to fig. 5, a flowchart of a method for identifying a two-dimensional code according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The embodiment is exemplified by applying the two-dimensional code recognition method to the implementation environment shown in fig. 1. The two-dimension code identification method comprises the following steps:

step 501, identifying a unique identification string carried in content information of a two-dimensional code by a two-dimensional code identification device;

the two-dimensional code identification device can identify the unique identification string carried by the two-dimensional code through a two-dimensional code decoding program after reading the content information of the two-dimensional code through an image input element or a photoelectric scanning element. The unique identification string may be the unique identification string generated by the embodiment shown in fig. 2, 3A, or 4.

502, the two-dimension code identification device sends a query request carrying a unique identification string to a predetermined server;

the query request carries a unique identification string, and the unique identification string is obtained by identifying the content information of the two-dimensional code by the two-dimensional code identification device.

Correspondingly, the predetermined server receives the query request sent by the two-dimension code identification device.

Step 503, the predetermined server inquires the original information bound with the unique identification string in the binding relationship according to the inquiry request;

the predetermined server stores original information, the unique identification string and the binding relationship between the original information and the unique identification string, and the original information can be obtained through query according to the unique identification string.

Step 504, the predetermined server feeds back original information to the two-dimensional code identification device;

correspondingly, the two-dimensional code identification device receives original information fed back by a preset server.

In summary, in the two-dimension code identification method provided in this embodiment, the original information is bound with a unique identification string composed of a plurality of characters, the unique identification string is encoded to obtain the two-dimension code, and the binding relationship between the original information and the unique identification string is stored by a predetermined server, so that the original information is obtained by the server by using the identified unique identification string in the identification process; the problems of complex pattern, slow recognition speed and low recognition success rate of the existing two-dimensional code are solved; the effects of simplifying the complexity of the two-dimensional code graph, high identification speed and high identification success rate are achieved.

Referring to fig. 6, a flowchart of a method for identifying a two-dimensional code according to another embodiment of the invention is shown. The embodiment is still exemplified by applying the two-dimensional code recognition method to the implementation environment shown in fig. 1. The two-dimension code identification method comprises the following steps:

step 601, reading content information of the two-dimensional code;

the two-dimensional code recognition device reads content information of the two-dimensional code through an image input element or a photoelectric scanning element. The content information carried by the two-dimensional code can be identified through a two-dimensional code decoding program.

Step 602, judging whether the content information of the two-dimensional code is a unique identification string;

specifically, the determination of whether the content information of the two-dimensional code is the unique identification string can be realized by determining whether the content information of the two-dimensional code has the identification feature. The identification feature is used for identifying that the content information of the two-dimensional code carries not original information but a unique identification string. The mark feature may be a short character string added before the unique identification string, a short character string added after the unique identification string, or other implementation forms. For example, the identifying feature is S, X or Z, etc.

Step 603, if the judgment result is that the content information is the unique identification string, executing the step of detecting whether the content information contains the address identification;

in step 604, if the determination result is that the content information is not the unique identification string, the content information is directly used as the original information.

Step 605, detecting whether the content information contains an address identifier;

Step 606, if the detection result is that the content information contains the address identification, inquiring the address of the predetermined server according to the address identification and the predetermined corresponding relation;

address of predetermined server	Address identification
		http://abc001.cn	001
http://abc002.cn	002
		http://abc003.cn	003
.......	......

TABLE-1

Step 607, sending the query request carrying the unique identification string to the predetermined server according to the queried address of the predetermined server;

Step 608, receiving original information fed back by a predetermined server;

the predetermined server stores original information, the unique identification string and a binding relationship between the original information and the unique identification string, and the original information can be obtained through query according to the unique identification string and fed back to the two-dimensional code recognition device.

It should be noted that, if the determination result in step 603 is that the content information is the unique identification string, the step of sending the query request carrying the unique identification string to the predetermined server may also be directly performed.
