A paving slab with an integrated information carrier according to claim 1, characterized in that the information layer with a QR code contains at least one additional information sign.

Description

The utility model relates to coating elements for paths, sidewalks, and can be used as a storage medium, in particular a QR code.

At present, the Quick Response Code (QR code) is widely used in various fields of human activity - a matrix code (two-dimensional barcode) developed and presented by Denso-Wave in 1994. The main advantage of a QR code is its easy recognition by scanning devices, such as mobile communication devices equipped with a camera.

It is known, for example, that a company providing transport services to the city of Portland (USA) and its suburbs uses QR codes at bus stops and railway stations (http://trimet.com/qrcodes). A user with a mobile device connected to the Internet with a built-in camera (phone, smartphone, etc.) can scan QR codes to get real-time traffic graphs, maps of city districts, and other information.

Compared to other types of barcodes, a QR code has several advantages:

- it can contain a large amount of digital and text information in any language;

- its print size can be very small;

- high speed recognition;

- three squares in the corners of the image of the code allow you to normalize the size of the image and its orientation, as well as the angle at which the scanning device refers to the surface of the image of the code;

- graphic distortions and graphic defects in the image of a QR code can reach 30%, without affecting the quality of its decryption of the information encoded in it.

The system of information services for tourists and residents of the city using QR codes in the Kazan Kremlin Museum-Reserve (http: /www.kazan-kremlin.ru/tour/qr/) is known. After reading the QR code using, for example, a mobile phone, the tourist gets the opportunity to quickly go to the corresponding page of the Kazan Kremlin mobile portal or save the link to bookmarks without having to enter the address using the device’s small keyboard. In this case, the QR code acts as a hyperlink, not only placed not on a web page, but in the real world, in the form of a tablet near an architectural object or on a guide page.

Known (http: //www.transport22.rf/? P = 224) is a system of information support for excursions on the history of the city of Barnaul. The system provides that a QR code is applied to a historic building or monument. The user reads the QR code using the camera of a mobile phone, in which the program for reading the code is pre-installed, and receives a link to a website on the Internet that contains information about the historical and cultural sites of the city. By following this link to a resource located on the Internet, the user receives useful and interesting information about the corresponding building or monument.

Known as a prototype is a building element (JP 3123600 U; IPC E01C 1/92, E01C 9/00; 07/20/2006) on the surface of which an OD code is applied, and which can be made, in particular, in the form of paving slabs. The disadvantages of this building element is the inability to read the QR code in the dark, as well as the reduced service life of paving slabs due to the lack of reinforcing elements at the base of the building element.

The technical result achieved by this utility model is to provide the ability to read a QR code at any time of the day, increasing the service life of paving slabs with an integrated information layer.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that the paving slab with an integrated information carrier, which is a QR code, contains a base of concrete reinforced with a polymer mesh, on which a primer layer of epoxy material is applied, on top of which a white layer of epoxy material is applied, over which a transparent layer of epoxy material is applied, containing as an additive a light-generating material luminescent with a long afterglow, on which with UV curing varnish applied contrast information layer, the information layer is applied over the transparent protective layer of an epoxy material.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

In FIG. 1 is a front view of a paving slab with an integrated information carrier, where a primer layer 2 of epoxy material is applied to a concrete base reinforced with a polymer mesh. On top of the primer layer, a white layer 3 of epoxy material is applied, on top of which a transparent layer of epoxy material is applied, containing as an additive a light-generating luminescent material with a long afterglow. A contrasting information layer 5 with a QR code is applied on top of a transparent layer of epoxy material containing, as an additive, a luminescent light-generating material with a long afterglow of the layer. The information layer is made with UV curing varnish, while on top of the information layer is applied

In FIG. 2 shows a top view of a paving slab with an integrated information carrier, which is QR code 7.

In FIG. 3 shows a top view of a variant of a paving slab with an integrated information carrier containing an additional information sign 8.

The presence of an additive of luminous material with a long afterglow in a layer of a transparent epoxy material applied to a white layer of a transparent epoxy material, as well as the presence of an information layer with a QR code contrasted on top of these two layers ensures the unimpeded reading of the QR code at any time of day due to the phenomenon of photoluminescence.

Pointing the camera lens of a user mobile communication device onto the stove with a QR code placed in its information layer, the user scans this code. The software for recognizing QR codes installed in the user device decrypts the scan results and, after a short period of time, opens a link to a specially created Internet resource. By going to this resource, the user receives information corresponding to this link on the display of the mobile device.

The utility model provides the ability to include in the information layer, in addition to the QR code, additional information signs, for example, direction indicators or advertising signs.

Reinforcement of the concrete base of the slab with a polymer mesh helps to increase the service life of the paving slab, as this increases the resistance of the slab to various mechanical stresses and loads, and there is no corrosion of the reinforcing material. Moreover, the presence of a transparent outer protective layer of epoxy material also contributes to increased durability of the paving slabs.
