Abstract
A method of generating an information code according to an exemplary embodiment includes: extracting product information on a product; Generating a plurality of information codes having different sizes and patterns based on the product information; And arranging the generated plurality of information codes based on a predetermined criterion.
Description
The following description relates to a method and system for providing an extended range of information codes.
A traditional bar code is a combination of black and white bars of different thicknesses for easy computer readability, and is called a linear or one-dimensional bar code. It mainly prints the unique number of the item on the wrapping paper of the product in the form of barcode and plays an important role in automating the logistics management.
Since this one-dimensional bar code can not contain much information, a two-dimensional code has appeared. The most widely used two-dimensional information code in recent years is a QR code (Quick Response Code). In addition, Aztec codes, a data matrix, PDF417, a maxicode, and a micro tag are main secondary codes.
These codes are usually printed on one corner of the wrapping paper in a small size, so it is inconvenient to read them close to the reader. In addition, since codes printed on various articles are not recognized at the same time, they need to be read one at a time, so that it takes much time to read various articles.
For example, information codes such as barcodes printed on items sold in a supermarket are printed in a certain size on a wrapping paper so that the reader is close enough to be readable, and it is troublesome to read them separately for each code. In addition, these codes generally print at the wavelength band of visible light, which is visible to the naked eye. Making the code too large is not good for the code printing to occupy a large portion of the wrapping paper. In addition, weakening the advertisement function of the wrapping paper that induces the purchase of the article may cause serious consequences, so it is difficult to actually print the information code to a certain extent or place it in a position where people are well aware of it. Because of this problem, information codes such as barcodes are usually printed small in size at a few centimeters in the corner of the article packaging.
Also, in the case of an advertisement or a poster attached to a wall, if the information pattern is printed too large, it may interfere with an advertisement originally intended for an advertisement or a poster. Therefore, the information code is generally arranged in a small size on one side.
The preceding documents are as follows. KR10-0946673B1 describes a configuration for generating and recognizing an infrared code through an infrared display device of a digital device. JP 3016582U discloses a structure relating to a publication having an infrared ray absorbing bar code pattern layer. JP1994-106875 discloses a configuration relating to a book having a barcode mark capable of infrared reading.
In addition, A. Dabrowski, et al., QR Incepthon: Barcode-in-barcode attacts, SPSM'14 Proceedings of the 4th ACM Workshop on Security and Privacy in Smartphones & Mobile Devices, (Nov. 7, 2014) A configuration in which another information code is inserted in the information code is described. The document is related to a method for reducing the problem caused by, for example, a technique of inserting and hacking an Aztec code, a data matrix, or another QR code in a QR code.
However, the related art has proposed a configuration for recognizing an information code pattern at a close distance and there is a problem that the recognition range of the information code is limited.

Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
1 is a diagram for explaining a conventional information code.
Figures 1 (a) and 1 (b) show the typical bar code and QR code, respectively. Generally, such information codes are printed in a size of several centimeters, for example, in a wrapping material or a handbill, so that they can be visually recognized. Information codes of this size can be recognized when the reader is brought close to the reader, but are difficult to recognize at distances of several tens of cm or several meters.
Accordingly, a description will be given of a method of recognizing an information code at a distance of several tens of centimeters or several meters or more from below.

The information code generation system may arrange a part of a plurality of information codes so as to overlap or a plurality of information codes adjacent to each other without overlapping. The information code may mean a code including information such as a barcode or a QR code. By having self-similarity or circularity, a similar shape and pattern can be formed by changing the size of the information code.
Referring to FIG. 2A, the information code generation system is an O-type code in which patterns are repeated with reference to the center, and FIG. 2B is a C-type code in which patterns are repeated with reference to the right. The plurality of information codes may include a U-shaped code in which a pattern is repeated with respect to the upper side as required, a ⊃-shaped code in which a pattern is repeated with respect to the left side,
Type code. Through this, the information code generation system can generate information codes having various patterns.The information code generating system may structurally arrange the information codes having the same information at various sizes while maintaining the form of the information codes used in the past even if the plurality of information codes do not have a repeated pattern. Referring to FIG. 3, a pattern arrangement of information codes formed based on the center is shown. Here, since the existing form of the QR code is maintained, at least one of the plurality of QR codes can be read through image processing.
Referring to FIG. 4, an example in which bar codes are arranged is shown. Fig. 4A shows a bar code arranged on the basis of the center, and Fig. 4B shows a bar code arranged on the basis of the upper bar.

The information code system can form and print information codes that are readable over a wide range of ranges on the wrapper of the article. The information code system can generate a plurality of information codes having the same pattern of different sizes, and the information code system can arrange the generated plurality of information codes based on preset criteria.
The information code system may use an infrared region or a visible light region for a plurality of information codes. At this time, the information code system is not limited to a certain area band in which a plurality of information codes are used, and is applicable to any wavelength band.
If the wavelength band in which the plurality of information codes are used is the infrared region, a plurality of product codes may be displayed invisible to the product as shown in the first drawing of FIG. In this case, although it is not visible in the visible light region, if the camera is photographed with an infrared ray, the information code can be recognized as shown in the second drawing of FIG. Or when the wavelength band in which the plurality of information codes are used is the visible light region, a plurality of product codes may be displayed on the product in a visible manner. At this time, the information code of the visible light region visible to the eye is very similar to the package design of the general article. However, in order to recognize whether or not the information code is invisible to the eye, for example, in the center of the pattern of the information code,
It is possible to notify that there is an information code.6 is a diagram for explaining the general operation of an information code system according to an embodiment.
