Description

System and method for generating complete information barcode by using multiple barcodes

The present invention relates to a system and method for generating a complete information barcode using a plurality of barcodes, and more particularly to a system and method for dividing and transmitting a two-dimensional barcode, and then combining the barcode segments at the message receiving end and reading the internal information.

With the rapid development of technology, information transmission can no longer be expressed by words or numbers. At present, it is also possible to use image hiding information, barcodes and other means for users to process information through electronic devices, such as storing electronic invoices by mobile phone barcodes. "Electronic invoice common vehicle", consumers can use the mobile phone barcode and authentication code of the specific mobile phone number, and the mobile phone barcode can be used to store the electronic invoice after printing. This helps to reduce the amount of information presented (the required length), and has the advantages of being easy to carry and obtain.

For image hiding information, the use of mathematical conversion calculations in order to get the information hidden inside, is not common in life and is difficult to use for the average user. For bar codes, the bar code reading method used to read paper bar codes mainly through bar code readers. However, with the increasing frequency of electronic devices, bar codes can be used for transaction or verification on mobile devices, such as providing small amounts. Redemption barcode for coupons.

For barcodes, the common one-dimensional barcodes are arranged in black and white lines. They are commonly used on product packaging to record the country of manufacture, manufacturer, date of manufacture, etc., or can be used for book management. That is, the classification or record of books by bar code, so the bar code is widely used in commodities, book management, and even postal or banking. In addition, with the increase in the amount of stored information, there are applications that store information in a QR code, which is presented in a square pattern of black and white. It has a wide range of applications, including agricultural history, government/commercial activities, Product content, introduction guides, commercial activity discounts and personal business cards, etc., are mostly used for text display or link to specific web pages for users to obtain information to be transmitted, and thus are widely used. Another example is the high-speed railway hand ticket system (T Express). Taking the current electronic invoice carrier as an example, the issuing unit can transmit the bar code information to the Supermarket's point-of-sale terminal system (POS) by batch network connection. ), and use the instant Internet connection to send the smart phone to the consumer, the consumer's smart phone can directly obtain or generate the bar code icon, the consumer can use this bar code to super-commerce to trade.

With the increasing use of two-dimensional bar codes and the popularity of two-dimensional bar codes, it is more and more frequent for the general electronic bar code scanning to recognize the information displayed by the electronic device or to verify and trade the bar code on the electronic device. Getting information by scanning electronic barcodes is becoming more and more popular. However, the current technology still cannot limit the specific user to scan the 2D barcode to obtain its information, because anyone can scan the 2D barcode through the smart device at hand to obtain its information, so that the 2D barcode cannot be used as a confidential file. The transmission of privacy data, so the current 2D barcode is still difficult to apply further.
