Finally, the event is sent back to the application program of the second electronic device. In this way, the coded graphics can be transmitted and automatically read by the method of the invention without scanning the coded graphics with the image sensing device to perform analysis, which greatly improves the convenience and practicability.

Description

The method of automatically reading the coded graphics

The present invention relates to a method for automatically reading coded graphics.

A two-dimensional barcode is a barcode that expands another dimension with readability on the basis of a one-dimensional barcode. It is expected to use a black and white rectangle pattern to represent the data, and its length and width are both recorded data, and the information contained is obtained after the device scans, among which The 2D barcode also includes positioning points and a fault-tolerant mechanism, so that the 2D barcode can be identified and interpreted through the positioning point, so it can be read in any direction, and its fault-tolerant mechanism allows the 2D barcode to not need to recognize all the barcodes. The information on the barcode can be restored. Moreover, the amount of data recorded in the two-dimensional barcode is more, and it can also be used for image links, network links, etc., so it is widely used in many commercial activities.
